Fantasy Valkyom OOC

Okay then!

The EXP chart has been started, and I have all the calculations for it ready to finish tomorrow. But right now it's late, I got home from work, and I just want to crash.

Enjoy!!

Valkyom, EXP Chart!

I am currently finishing the final touches on the introduction post and it will be up very soon. There's going to be a lot of important information in it, so please pay attention to the details and prepare to enjoy Valkyom!

If you have any final questions or concerns, please let me know now so we can discuss them right away!

Hopefully I didn't tag anyone who has dropped out. If I did, please let me know that you're no longer interested in participating so I don't make the mistake of tagging you again in the future.

Thank you!

Anyway, I wanted to let everyone know that the primary Introduction Post has been made and Saya has introduced you all to the process for your first use of the VR MMORPG game known as Valkyom!

It's a bit long winded for her since she was a Beta Test Player, and for those who's characters were not part of the Beta Test you won't have to worry about the Beta Exclusive bit she goes through.

The gist of it is simple enough: Confirm your identity, Build your Character Avatar, Enter the Game!!

Since the Beta Test thing leads to a really expensive series of potential bonus content, it'd be best if only two or three of our character were Beta Testers to ensure that there is some drama or envy about the kinds of things they have such as the Mounts, the Led (in-game currency), and the housing and other items they get if they pay for them.

Drama is a lot of fun, so hopefully you guys are cool with that!

I'll see you guys IC real soon!

Hi, I dropped out, just letting you know
 
JustifiedRoles JustifiedRoles animegirl20 animegirl20 Shog Shog Elekta Kount Elekta Kount LieutenantL LieutenantL F o o l i s h n e s s F o o l i s h n e s s The Saviour of the Masses The Saviour of the Masses Midnight Paragon Midnight Paragon Sprios Sprios LoneSniper87 LoneSniper87

Hey guys.

Since JustifiedRoles nabbed the other Beta Tester role, I'm going to dictate for the sake of story and character development that nobody else is allowed to have been a player during the Beta Test period. That means all the goods that Saya and Haruki bought are not available to you, as the entire list was Beta Test exclusive content.

Regardless of your character's financial background, the remainder of you will start as normal players for the first time at Level 1 without any of that bonus content and having never been a part of the Beta Test period. The game is brand new and fresh, and your character know only what the name of the game is and that it's "the most realistic virtual reality RPG" game in the world, as well as the first ever "Deep-Dive" game to exist.

Any questions or concerns, let me hear them!

Thanks!
 
Thawne Thawne Your character is good to go so you can post your intro whenever you're ready.

All of you who have made characters are free to post. Sorry if I didn't make that clear before. That's my bad. Get your intro posts up, and once everyone has done so we can start posting normally.

For the sake of keeping things coherent, please tag in any IC posts you make players who have character whom are in direct contact with your character.

For example: If JustifiedRoles character, Haruki, talks to Saya, Justified will tag me in his IC post to let me know that he intends to interact with Saya and is requesting my cooperation. When and if Haruki's interactions with Saya come to a close, such as if Haruki logs off or decides to go his own way for a while, Justified no longer needs to tag me.

Does that make sense?

This way there's no set posting order, but everyone knows when they're supposed to post and with whom they are interacting with IC.
 
Hi everyone.

I know some of you are busy and need time before jumping in, so please read this and just take a mental note of it for now.

To those who are not interested in participating or who have disappeared without yet telling me, seriously, please tell me if you're not going to be a part of this so I can stop needlessly tagging you. Thank you!

Anyway...

The point of this message is to let you all know that due to the number of characters which have a well-to-do background, I'm henceforth banning any "well off" or "wealthy" characters from entering the RP from this point forward.

I know that the request above Saya's profile says "treat this profile as a template," but that wasn't meant to ask you all to copy her background exactly and make a rich kid like her.

There are now too many well-off characters in the RP, and because of that I'm going to be changing Saya to a "middle class" background and adjusting the information I posted in her intro post as well as her character profile to fit that mold.

This RP is meant to play off of the financial differences between people and the effect that it has on them in online interactive games like MMO's and MMORPG's. Some of our characters are normal everyday people of middle class backgrounds while others are the sons/daughters of company/conglomerate big wigs. Some of them had to work SUPER HARD to afford the game at all, let alone be able to build a high-quality PC to run it at max settings without sacrificing performance and such. Others didn't have to work. They just asked for the money to buy the best PC possible and the money to buy the game and bam, there it was as if it was nothing.

This is meant to create tension and conflict between our characters in-game.

For example: Saya, as a Beta Tester, will not have the money as a middle class girl to shell out for all the bonus content which she has to choose from. She might be able to afford a few of them, but not all the ones she wants. Justified's character, as the other Beta Tester and a well-to-do guy, was able to buy all that content. If and when the two of them meet, Saya will immediately be jealous of him having been able to afford all of that content that was exclusive to the Beta Testers.

This way there is room for character development and drama in the RP for us to all enjoy.

So once again, henceforth there will be no more well-to-do or "rich" characters in the RP. I blame myself entirely for not making it clearer from the start here in the OOC and in the Characters Page that there were only meant to be 2-3 well-to-do characters while everyone else was meant to be middle class. Nobody has to change their characters or anything like that, but just know that there won't be any more well off characters allowed from here on out for those who haven't made a character yet.

Thank you.

I have added information on Skills to the Valkyom: Player Information, Stats, Weapons/Armor, and More!! page.

Please read the information carefully, and if you're confused about anything just ask.

The long and short of it is this:

1) All Skills are Player Created. There are no "system" skills for each Weapon.

2) You can have between 1-20 individual strikes in each Skill. The more Strikes you have, the less damage each of those individual hits do (by comparison to fewer strikes).

3) Your Skills can target a single enemy, or they can be AOE.

4) Your Skills come with a Stamina Cost for every hit they have, and remember at the start when you're Level 1 you only have 100 Stamina to work with, so calculate it carefully.

5) You can add a single Effect to your Skill, but if you do it suffers a big Damage Drop Off. However the Effects are often worth it so long as you have the skill and timing in battle to make the most of them. If not, don't add an Effect.

The Damage Output is probably the hardest thing to understand, but it's easy if you think about it this way. On a 1 to 1,000 scale, the Damage Output is a relative number the system uses to crunch numbers under the hood and determine how much damage you actually inflict on enemies in combat with the Skill. There is an "optimum" setup for a Skill depending on the Player's level and which weapon they choose, and I gave the single handed Sword optimization as an example.

As I warn in the page, I don't want anyone making an optimized Skill. Not even by accident. Remember this isn't about who's the strongest or who's the "best". It's about kicking back and enjoying this RP's in-game story and the character interactions and relationships which will develop between our characters. So please don't anyone try to be the badass and create max Damage Output Skills. It's only going to happen if I allow it.

There's also a bit of a mini-lecture I go into, so I apologize, but the gist of it is that I want everyone to remember that there has never been a Deep Dive game before. In this RP, Valkyom is the first Deep Dive game ever created. Our characters have never in their lives played a game like this or actually lived such an experience. This is all new to them.

None of them have faced (in real life) an orc, a goblin, a harpie, a giant snake, a giant boar, a bear, a giant wasp, etc, etc. When they meet the enemies of this game for the first time, there should be an intimidation and fear factor involved like (pardon the language) "WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT?!?!?!"

The first time Saya faces down an enemy, you'll see what I mean. Our characters are living this experience for the first time. None of them are experts and none of them will be immune to the intimidation of actually facing down enemies like these. To our characters, this world and all the enemies in it are real. Even though one or two of our characters have a bit of martial arts background, they've never faced down enemies like these so they're not going to know how to take it down with any level of expertise. Taking down a big ass orc in this game isn't the same as doing it on a console or regular 3rd person RPG PC game. They have to actually do it themselves by really using the weapon.

So please do remember this information and try to relax and let the RP flow naturally. Play it out, play it up, and let your characters be vulnerable, especially in these early stages where they're getting used to the world and how it works. This RP isn't about being the ultimate badass right from the start. It's about trying to capture and enjoy the reality that I've forced our characters into while cultivating their relationships in a world that's harsher, more dangerous, and yet somehow more personal than the one they've now left behind.

Enjoy!

Thanks!

For those who have made their characters and posted their introduction, I'm going to lift the previous ban on posting. This RP is designed in a way that anyone who joins can jump in at any time and they're not really missing anything. So for those of us who've posted, let's keep posting and let our characters enjoy the world they've just become a part of!

And for Thawne, don't be intimidated. You just do you. This RP has no post length requirements save one: no one liners.

So long as your posts move your character forward in a meaningful way while giving us your character's reactions to what they've experienced, you're good to go. If you ever need help, just ask.

I will put links to all the RP's different pages in the first post of the IC Section. Give me about two minutes and it'll be done.
