overview.
In the year 2080, VRMMORPGS swarm the market thanks to substantial advancements in technology. News spreads that ALFA, a famous gaming company known worldwide for their outstanding VRMMORPGS, is looking for international beta testers for their new game: Aether Online. In exchange, ALFA will pay its beta testers a hefty sum of money. Several thousands of people apply, but only eight lucky people are selected β and you are one of them.
Upon logging in, you find yourself with the other seven beta testers and start exploring the game. The game already seems remarkable. Everything appears as if you were there in person. However, it's not until later that you, along with the other beta testers, realize something horribly wrong: it's impossible to log out! Due to a bug that the game developers overlooked, the beta testers are now trapped inside Aether Online with no communication with the outside world.
With no other options, the beta testers begrudgingly continue to play the game. After all, what else could possibly go wrong?
welcome girls and gamers! i'll be honest, this is my first time even trying to gm a group thread on rpn so this entire process and rp is extremely experimental. if my lack of experiences shows, just pretend like you don't notice a thing. if you couldn't already tell, this rp is heavily inspired by "stuck in a game" and "isekai" tropes with a stronger hint of that mmorpg feel since most media does it extremely wrong (i'm looking at you sao). if you haven't played an mmorpg before, no worries, but some very basic knowledge would help! just think of it as a typical fantasy world but with a leveling system when it comes to abilities. other than that, i was just hoping to have a mostly unserious, lighthearted rp to kill my time with! thanks so much for anyone who takes interest and i hope everyone has a great day/night regardless. β‘
note: the next page has all the roles! at the end of each role, i have linked some skill sets. they are examples of abilities rather than strict ideas, so don't worry too much about them!

rules
rules.
rule one.
all characters and writers will be 18+! sorry to anyone younger who may have taken interest, but i want to ensure that anyone who applies is comfortable with the other applicants' age. i also want everyone who applies to be fairly literate. around 400 words per post would be decent, though there will be no strict minimum.
rule two.
include everyone into the rp/plotting! i've been in my fair share of group threads where people were kind of cliquey and only talked to friends and i absolutely DESPISE it. i do not want to see anybody being ignored here.
rule three.
respect everyone and their characters! no homophobia, sexism, or bigotry of any sort will be tolerated. in the same branch, i want to encourage everyone's creativity! you could have your character use a garbage lid for a shield for all i care. i want to see unique and diverse characters!
rule four.
i am a winner of the idgaf war. i will be extremely lax when it comes to this rp. i'm a college student so i understand that life can get busy. although a post every week or two would be nice, i will not really hound on anyone for replies. just keep everyone up to date about writing and we should all be good!
rule five.
this is not first come first serve. i'll be picking characters out after a deadline that i'll decide later. there are nine spots open currently. also, i expect everyone to use realistic faceclaims, art, or detailed description when applying.
rule six.
last but not least, i hope everyone is able to have fun!! i really want to be able to foster an enjoyable and comfortable environment for anyone who's applying.
