Welcome to Ziradia Online

Ziradia Online is a near-futuristic fantasy/sci-fi roleplay, set in the summer of 2090, when 10 students are invited to be Premium Final In-Game Testers for the highly publicized, upcoming MMORPG, Ziradia Online.
"An MMORPG like no other, with quests customized to each users playstyle, and an unlimited number of levels and professions to pursue. Loyal players are rewarded, and huge events are held regularly."
The 10 students are brought to Gemu Headquarters, to stay in their luxurious Beta Tester Compound at headquarters. Everything is provided, from large, comfortable living quarters to natural hot springs and a top-of-the-line gym, as well as sprawling gardens and even a small shopping centre. Everything is designed so the teens will never have to be far from the game as they spend three months testing it.
At the end of the time they are each promised a handsome sum of money for their time. All they need to do is to follow the few rules the company sets down: play the game for a minimum of 8 hours a day, and attend daily beta tester meetings with the developers, who are headed up by the famous Professor Kiyonaga Nagata, the developer of the top games for the past 5 years.
With 3 months to explore the richest game in history, these teens are bound to have many adventures, both in the virtual world and otherwise.

About Ziradia Online
Ziradia Online is a full dive VR open world sandbox MMORPG. It features a blend of fantasy and steampunk elements, and puts a heavy focus on personalization. While the beginning quests and rewards may seem cliche, as the system learns each user's playstyle it adapts and changes, no two experiences will ever be the same!
Unlike many MMOs, it does not encourage guilds, rather focusing on rewarding solo players and small parties. The towns and cities scattered throughout Zirada, which is shaped like a giant, twisting tower floating in an endless sky, each have unique houses, inns, shops, and other venues. Player creativity is highly prioritized, with the top-tier AI constantly monitoring and adjusting to ensure challenging but entertaining gameplay for every player. There are, in fact, very few limits. However, the game makers have not released any sort of guide or basic tips, so when entering the game, you really are going in blind.

As for crafting, raw items are gathered by fighting the right kind of mobs or searching for spawn zones. The higher level a character is in their skill, the rarer and more prolific the drops will be. Once all the resources for a product have been gathered, they then have to take the items to a craft zone (for a blacksmith that would be a forge, for an alchemist it would be a distillation table, etc.). Depending on the level of the item they are trying to produce (if they aren't just smashing things together and hoping they work) and the character's skill level, they may or may not succeed.
Recipes and designs are found in drops, as well as quest rewards, and give detailed instructions on how to make an item, as well as a temporary skill boost.

COMBAT
Combat is the fastest way to obtain resources through drops and level up your character. For lower level mobs, common spawns, I am happy leaving it to you, the players, to fight them in a single, detailed post.

The amount of detail and whether you powerplay or not will determine how much XP you get from fighting the mob.
Every time a mob or group of mobs is fought I will reply, either OOCly or ICly, with the amount of XP, gold, and items it/they dropped.
When it comes to mid-high tier mobs and bosses, I will play the mob.
Upon entering a new combat area I will inform you, in a UI post, the local mobs, quests, and points of interest.
For PvP combat you must be in a noted PvP area and/or challenge your partner to a duel. As GM I'll observe the fight and settle any disputes, but I think with proper OOC communication everything should turn out fine.
Upon death you have 5 IC minutes to be revived by another (does not have to be guild or party member) with a Potion of Revival. You will then be unable to move and invincible for 15 IC seconds as the potion takes effect. If another player does not revive you in time then you with disappear and reappear at the nearest safe area. Upon death your gear holds a chance to break.
Starting Classes and Subclasses

[spoili]
Tank< (Basic equipment: kite shield, tower shield, broad shield, sword, lance, mace, heavy flail, gauntlets)
Guardian-a tank who focuses on armour and stats, skilled at soaking a lot of damage.
Relic Shield-a tank who focuses on enchanted equipment and using magic to bolster their tanking. Puts out more damage than the guardian, but their equipment is more likely to break, and their mana pools are middling.

Fighter< (Basic equipment: Buckler, longsword, rapier, light flail, steel-tipped staff, gauntlets)
Knight-a fighter with strong armour and heavy damage, weaker than a tank and slower than a brawler, but also more versatile, as they can play light tanks or just put out damage.
Paladin-a magic-focused fighter, most of the spells in their book are sustain and healing, with a few mana-hungry, heavy damage spells as well.

Mage< (Basic equipment: Robes, staff, wand, disc, grimoires)
Druid-a mage class with deep mana pools and a spell book full of stuns, heals, roots, and lifesteal.
Magi-a mage with low sustain but heavy mid-short ranged damage, likely the flashiest of the classes, with a kit full of things like fireballs, lightning strikes, and electricity fields.

Ranged< (Basic equipment: Light armour, gun, bow, throwing daggers, cloaks, boots)
Gunner-the only class able to utilize guns, this class also has a small mana pool with which they can turn their simple lead bullets into explosions, stuns, or guide them more accurately. Burst damage.
Hunter-armed with bow and throwing daggers, this class moves quickly and can put down a lot of damage over time as long as they have someone to keep the aggro off them.

Brawler< (Basic equipment: staff, scythe, lance, glaive, light armour, pike, trident, weighted net)
Tactician-mid ranged class who focuses on positioning, flexibility, and utilizing the weapons and light magic available to them. Kite and fight, good initial damage, then damage over time.
Specialist-mid ranged class with plenty of Area of Effect damage, can put out damage when necessary, but also has plenty of stat boost spells and shields.

Rogue< (Basic equipment: daggers, light armour, poison spikes, spiked armguards, familiar, gauntlets)
Adventurer-armed with a variety of weapons, the adventurer is a light, quick attacker with a tendency to get themselves into trouble...and somehow attract better loot. They may also have one of the following familiars: hawk, wolf, dog, owl, fox, bat, lynx, ocelot.
Assassin-experts of poison and stealth, the assassin has some of the lowest sustainability, but their ability to quickly deal damage and--literally--disappear is unparalleled. Their spell kit includes many distractions and stealth spells, with a few to weaken enemies. The assassins must wear special glyphed gauntlets to cast spells.

Locations-Real World

The Beta Tester House
Top of the line and spare-no-expense, the Beta Tester Compound is a stylish blend of modern architecture and Japanese influences. The heart of the compound is a large 5 bed, 5 bath house, with an interior courtyard, large, completely kitted out kitchen, comfortable conference room, gym, recreation room, living room, and library. Each bedroom is the size of a very small house, holding two full-sized beds each, along with two desks, a sitting area, tv, and personal TouchWall, a large, very thin touch screen set into the wall beside each bed that can be customized with photos and programs of choice, and whose specially designed Night Light system ensures that, if you wish to make a note on the wall in the middle of the night, the backlight won't disrupt your sleep cycle.

The Gardens
The Beta Tester Gardens are lovely, sprawling, and immaculately kept. There is a hedge maze behind the house, and many little nooks with benches or fountains or delicate little statues. A bubbling brook winds its way throughout the gardens.

The Hot Springs
The private beta tester hot springs are tucked away to the west of the house, the mineral rich water always steaming at the perfect tempreture, with many luxary soaps, fluffy robes, and warm towels constantly at the ready in the bathhouse. (It is advised that beta testers pack swimsuits in order to make use of these facilities.)

Gemu HQ Shopping Centre
This shopping centre, availible to all employees at Gemu Headquarters, includes several resuraunts and cafes, two clothes stores, a shoe store, the largest Gemu store in the world, a bookstore, and a pharmacy.

Ziradia Online Monitoring
Accessible only by Professor Nagata and his elite team of game developers, this is the rooms from which the Premium Beta Test is monitored. All player stats, both real world and in game, are kept track of, and tests are run, events are initiated, and challenges designed. Everything done in this room is intended to stretch the game--and its players--to the limits.

Rules
Let's try to keep this short and sweet, yeah?​
  1. Intermediate+ writing level please. Of course leniency is granted, everyone has off days, but I'd like at least basic spelling and grammar, as well as description, not just dialogue.
  2. Minimum paragraph (5+ sentences) per reply. I understand while having a conversation it's harder to write long replies, but I'd like the RP to be fairly literate. One paragraph is the minimum, I'd prefer 2+.
  3. Unique/Original characters please, nothing borrowed from an anime/tv show/book/movie/etc.
  4. No Mary/Gary Sues.
  5. Reply regularly please, at least once every two to three days, to keep pace with the RP.
  6. Be willing to work together OOCly. This is my first really big forum RP in a couple years. I'm rusty, and welcome help. I'd also like to keep OOC drama at a nonexistant level, please.
  7. Finally: If I think someone is messing up the roleplay for others, simply not following the rules, or just not holding up the standard, I reserve the right to replace them.

[fieldbox=" GIN RILUKA, blue, solid"]

Characters Name: RILUKA Gin
Gender: Male
Age: 24 years old
D.O.B: 5th May
Sexuality: Straight
Occupation/School/Grade: Masters in Software Engineering at Tokyo's University. Use to work part-time waiter prior to being a beta tester
Physical Attributes: Slender, Tall (5'10), and has dark eyes and hair. His skin is pretty pale and flawless.

Personality:
Gin, in real life, is a quite anti-social. He won't really make the first move to go talk to you except if required. Most likely, you will think of him as some kind of cold hearted guy as a first impression. Fortunately, that isn't truly him. He is cold, yes, but he warms up to people if he didn't categorize you as annoying or too social. Despite him being a bit antipathetic, he does have a sense of humor. Most likely a dark sense of humor, but nonetheless one. Gin can be good in teamwork and does take the lead if he sees everything is spiraling down, but he is most likely the type of guy that would keep order and take more of a second role in charge. Which, you can kind of referee as the 'bad cop' in a good cop, bad cop situation.
Background: Gin has a pretty ordinary life. His father is a very hard working man that brings home a good paycheck. He used to live in the more traditional part of Japan, in Kyoto. His maternal family is very religious and bound to their roots, explaining how they are the ones who take care of one of the biggest temples there.


Faceclaim: Nine in Zakyou no Terror



Online Character
UserName:
Maelstorm
Gender: Male or Female
Sexual Interest: Towards Females
Physical Attributes: Robust, medium height, hairy chest and arms, has a beard and blue eyes.
Profession: Bounty Hunter

Bounty Hunters are far from a homogeneous lot—they come from all races and affiliations and each pursues his quarry in his own unique way. Some Bounty Hunters adhere to the rugged Mandalorian code of honor while others answer only to their own moral compass. Some work only on behalf of organizations they agree with, while others have no sense of loyalty.

Despite being kindred spirits, fellow Bounty Hunters cannot always be trusted—among the profession’s most notorious members, competition turns colleagues into the most ruthless of enemies. Even the Bounty Hunters’ employers harbor hidden agendas; the tables are turned quickly when complications arise… and they always do. Shifting allegiances, unbeatable odds, and deadly showdowns are common in the occurrences in the life of a Bounty Hunter.


Class: Gunner



Combat Style: Guns and explosives
Online Personality: Gin, online, has tendencies to be a bit more of that annoying moderator that will remind you of the rules and report you if ever you go against the rules. He does bend them a bit, but usually he ends up being pretty strict with others. He does forget himself in the mist of action and become that player that flames people and blames them for a mistake they do. Overall, Gin is a very well known player named Maelstorm across the net and is pretty straight forward. He can be a troll, but never when under his username Maelstorm.

Character Profile Template

Forename Name: Aimi
Middle Name: Marise
Surname: Himura.
Known As: Aimi.
Gender: Female.
Age: 18 years old.
Date of Birth: 17th November.
Sexuality: Polysexual.
Occupation/School/Grade: Student, Grade 12.
Physical Attributes: Aimi is 5ft 2in tall with a small build and a slim physique. She grew her dark hair out to mid way down her back after being mistaken for a pre-teen boy on more than one occasion because she's not particularly into 'girly' things. It's also why she often wears skirts and dresses instead of trousers or shorts. Her eyes are a chestnut brown with hints of red and orange but only if you look closely enough. She has pale skin, a contrast to her almost black hair, with very few blemishes except for a birthmark just below the left corner of her left eye.
Personality: Aimi is very quiet and shy. She doesn't speak much, and when she does it's usually because she's focussed on something else. Like gaming for example. If her mind if focussed on the game where the worst thing that could happen has minimal consequences, then she is opinionated and decisive. She cares a great deal about what people think of her, most likely because her parents raised her to please others, and can be hurt very easily by insults. She takes it to heart and doesn't often forgive for even the most minor offences. But she is also extremely hard working. She throws 100% into everything she does, even if it's something simple like picking out the username for her gaming character.
Background: She grew up in Kyoto on the island of Honshu, Japan, living with her mother and father. She is an only child of parents who worked a great deal, and as such they put off having children too long and were only able to have Aimi. Because of this they are extremely dependant on her doing well, which eventually pushed her into gaming for an escape. Despite being shy she has many friends, most of whom are also gamers or people who don't mind doing all the talking.
Family:
-Father: Noriko Himura.
-Mother: Chou Himura.
Reaction to being invited to be a premium beta tester for Ziradia: Nervous. She's never really done anything like this before, mostly playing games as an escape from her school and home life and she wants to make a good impression.
Faceclaim: Saki Watanabe (From the New World)


Online
Name: Niraya.
Gender: Female (usually).
Sexuality: Polysexual.
Profession: Healer.
Physical Attributes/Body Build: --
Online Personality: Aimi is like a completely different person when she is Niraya. She is bold, assertive, brave... everything she wants to be in real life but is too nervous to be. But she tends to be all business when there is a job to do or a goal to achieve, and there usually is. Whether it's getting to the next level or completing even the smallest of quests she will strive to complete it quickly.
Combat Style: Long range and usually uses a lot of lifesteal.
Class: Druid.
General Play Style: Her play style is logical up to the point where she is in a battle. During quests and such she thinks things through and tries to work out the best way to do things. But when she's under attack, she is known for having a little bit of a trigger finger, especially if she is angry.

I'm sure she will have you guys added to the waiting list. She's been so excited that you all have responded so well to this ( a little to excited she has been working on this for 11 hours yesterday) and will be checking on the wait list closer to the start to see if all reservations hold up. Thanks you all for being calm and understanding that these things take time to get rolling~
 

Name: Drake Lasmen

Gender: Male

Age: 19

Sexuality: Straight

Occupation/School/Grade: College Freshman.

Physical Attributes/Body Build: Tall with broad shoulders, and a larger build, weights roughly 220

Personality:
Drake is a mild mannered and all be it quite man, he isn't anti-social but rather finds books and animals more interesting than humans. He tends to overthink things but it gets the job done as he analyses the situation he finds himself in. A rather calm and understanding person, he has a short fuse, meaning his temper flairs at times. he is a great leader, but is hard to get along with if personalities clash. He keeps his wits about him, but is quick to make rash decisions when flustered, he has a hard time with simple things, but when it comes to game algorithms he can figure out patters and rations to a decimal point to understand how to handle encounters. While very intelligent he lacks the understanding of reality as he seems to be lost more in reality than in any game, this leads him to have trouble with the people much more in a face to face situations.

Background:
Known in many MMO's to be one of the best guild heads, but also one of the strictest when it comes to progression, he has been playing with his guild to get his name out for this opportunity, he has been focused completely on clearing every MMO he can find in hopes of getting mass recognition in hopes of solidifying himself as a future developer and beta tester for Ziadia and any games to come.

Reaction to being invited to be a premium beta tester for Ziradia: Excited but very internalized, quite smug about being selected as ne of the ten due to his background.

Background in gaming: Semi-professional, leader of a large raiding mmo guild that has recently been know for speed clearing games.

Faceclaim (Must be anime or anime art style): Bualt - Akame Ga Kill.

Online

Name: Knightdrake

Gender: Male

Age: 27

Sexuality: Straight

Profession: Enchanted Item Appraiser/Weapons Dealer

Physical Attributes/Body Build: Strong and muscular build, rather tall and large.

Online Personality: Almost the same as his normal persona, but in games the social anxiety of the world falls away. He becomes a very strong and independent leader, and takes control easily, he is known to make great shows of force to make points in PvP. When it comes down to it he is solely focused on results and will destroy anything he finds to be an obstacle in his way with any means necessary.

Combat Style: Mid ranger combat and long with magic and weapons such as lances, scythes, or spears. Became known for the methods used to speed level and use tactics against large enemy's.

Class: Tactician.

General Play Style: Group fighting, tactual assaults, Run and Gun tactics, Kiting, burst deletion, tactical positioning.

Extra Notes: WIP​

Name:
Ann Roslyn

Gender:
Female

Age:
18

Sexuality:
Straight

Occupation/School/Grade:
Recent Graduate (applying for college)/Programmer
She does small jobs like designing websites and programing small apps

Physical Attributes/Body Build:
5’7’’
She normally wears shorts with lots of pockets and a T-shirt but it is not uncommon to see her wear a simple dress or a nice Shirt with a skirt. Though she does get cold easily so expect her to have something with a hood during Fall (Vest, coat, hoody), Winter (Ear muffs and scarf and the only time she wears pants) , and spring (Vest). As for shoes, she wears commonly wears Tennis shoes, Rain boots when it is wet, or designer boots. She only wears sandals to the beach, if she remembers. Unless it is super formal, she does not wear heels (except with boots). She has a collection of more colorful or elegant dresses but rarely wears them because she does not like the attention.
At home, She has a numerous pair of pajamas. She has pajama onesies, Shirts and short shorts, and several slippers. All outfits with different themes ranging from space to bunnies. She also almost always has a blanket with her because she gets cold easily at home.

She also has 3 pairs of swimsuits.
1. Bikini with skirt: flower decorated with a skirt which is attached to the bottom by a sunflower shape button. The skirt peace is orange and transparent. The Background color for the Rest of the swimsuit is yellow.
2. 1 piece: Simple light purple with a yellow ring in the middle.
3. A Bikini with a black top and a white bottom

Personality (1+ Paragraph Please):
Ann is quiet, pessimistic, and reserved. She has a hard time being the center of attention and is easily overwhelmed in a crowd. She is easily embarrassed whenever she gets a complement and has a hard time expressing how she feels, normally hiding behind a gentle smile. In smaller groups, she becomes more social. She also really cares for her friends and is a very good listener often enjoys stories about other peoples experiences. That is not to say she is a gentle person because she wants to be one. She thinks very lowly of strangers and always things she can find a better way to do everything. She also is very sarcastic under her breath. Though she seems kind and nice, it is only because you cannot hear her.

She also still feels hurt about her mother leaving her when she was little but manages to work through it if only for her father. It is a sore subject and has a hard time holding in the tears when she is reminded of her. Though it was so long ago, she remembers the event as if it just happened a few hours ago. Still, she still loves her mom and will not settle for people making fun of her. She has been known to even yell when defending her.

Ann is considered to be a very nice girl. She never ever is seen getting into a fight, argument, or even saying that she dislikes someone. However this does not reflect her true feelings. Kindness is normally her way of trying to avoid unwanted attention or to get people to stop bothering her. She hates people who abuse her quiet/gentle nature and she dreads the whiners who just won’t shut up. She wish she could be brave like her friends. She wants to be able to lash out at someone and call them stupid, without apologizing. She wants to be able to walk through a crowd


Background:
Ann is a single child living with her dad. Her mother ran away from home when she was 5 leaving her dad to take care of her alone. Ann took it hard at first. She stopped smiling, stopped laughing, and only spoke when she had to. Her father had to pick up an extra job to support the family which further added to Ann's depression. 2 years later before her 7th birthday, he got a promotion which would allow him to support them on 1 job. With his new free time he tried to spend more time with Ann.

He took her to do different things and despite trying them, she never took interest. He took her to amusement parks, climbing, fishing, but nothing seemed to make her happy. One day after picking up Ann from school, a teacher showed him a phone puzzle game. The father tried to solve it but was just ungodly awful. He asked his daughter to try it. She gave it a try and solved it in an hour. The father had been trying for 3 days. He praised her and for the first time, she smiled.

On her 7th birthday her father bought her another game, this time it was a co-op fantasy game called Towers and Titans. Her and her father would play it together all the time. Slowly Ann began to open up to the world. She made a few friends who not only played Towers and Titans but modded it. This sparked Ann's love for programming and was the bases of her dream to be a video game designer.

Now 8 years later Ann has played and "cracked" a multitude of games. Her goal when playing a new game is to beat it and developed a strategy for her father to beat it (Because her father is just terrible... but he always finds a way to have fun) when he beats the game, she deems it "Cracked." She has her own website where people talk about all types of games, from the old day arcades to the newest game coming out on the market Ziradia Online and guess who just got accepted to test it XD!


Reaction to being invited to be a premium beta tester for Ziradia:
“I…I cannot be…believe it… I…I got go to update my blog!” *Runs to computer to type up a storm about how happy she is and how she cannot wait to crack this new game.

Background in gaming:

Towers and Titans (her first fantasy game) at 7
Battleships 3.0 (Simulator Naval game) at 8

Profession:
Engineer
As an engineer, Creativity becomes ones greatest weapon. Everything has its purpose and there is no such thing as a "bad" idea. Whether you are building a airship or an hydraulic anti solar radiation parasol, it is all about putting your mind to work and bringing to life your imagination. And just like the ammo that automated pie thrower, the types of engineers are endless. Some focus on being efficient, other push the bounties, and some just plain wacky. No matter what you choice be ready for to hit the drawing board, because the first step to that lazer guided potato skinner is that shiny light bulb above your head provided by your steam power idea maker.

Engineers are problem solvers and provide solutions for the average man, elf, and raging boss what wipes your party. When you meet an engineer your are meeting someone who is known for not giving up. Depending on their goals, they can be your best friend or your worst nightmare when it comes to getting that rare golden nut. They are unpredictable like their inventions, and persistence. You never know what is going through their mind and what plan they have in their toolbox. The most you can do is pray you are not wall standing in the way of their figurative, and literal, ram themed anti-stone castle-wall buster to achieve their goals of fame, fortune, or a good time.

Online Personality:
Under the alias Glitch, Ann loses much of her kind appearance and nature. She rarely smiles. She makes more bolder, and some times snarky, statements. She is not afraid to tell someone off or belittle them. She may even come off as arrogant and cocky. Sadly she still becomes shy when getting praised or when she is getting a lot of attention. She can appear arrogant because she works hard to plan everything out. All the research, testing, debates, and experience gives her the right to have confidence, at least she believes that. She is willing to help someone who truly wants to learn, after all she worked with the worst gamer in the world *Cough* her father *Cough* so no amount of badness will impede her guidance. That is given the player shows the effort to improve.

Combat Style:
Glitch is a strategist who relies on tricks, traps, deception, with a little bit of luck to pick apart her opponents weaknesses and create openings to abuse, rinse, and repeat.

Class:
[BCOLOR=transparent]Specialist[/BCOLOR]​


General Play Style:
She is a planner and a completionist. She studies her surroundings in an attempt to locate hidden rewards or patterns. She is not one who enjoys running in without a plan but she also has a respect for luck and willing to rely on it from time to time... Still though, nothing beats a good plan and research.
