Roll The Dice (OOC/Worldbuilding)

Postby Nuridia » Fri Nov 09, 2018 5:00 pm

Now despite the title, this ain't your typical dice RP....or is it? I was a little hesitant for putting this up because it sounded pretty similar to an RP I was going to join in the past. I didn't want people to think I was stealing, but I thought of this based off Jumanji...BUT COOLER. I hope this one fares better than the other ones...so I decided to do a fantasy with a twist.
List of UoN majors: https://www.unr.edu/degrees/search



Las Vegas, Nevada...2015 (bcuz everybody does New York these days, let's switch it up a little bit, huh?)...also known as Sin City. The home of the gambling hell, is also home to the average Joes like you and me as well as the glamorous showgirls and the shady gambling dens run by mobsters. And where there are people, there are nerds. Nerds who love their games. LARP, D&D, Pathfinder? You name it, people have played it.

While sometimes you may let your hair down by drinking, going out to party or other things, sometimes you let your hair down by engaging in an epic paladin vs. dragon fight with your buddies on Saturday night. Nothing wrong with that, nothing unusual...until today. In recent years, there's been a whole new game on the rise...the craze for it has been huge! Some even call it D&D on steroids, because it includes virtual reality. In addition to the classic dice rolling and cosplaying, this new game called Andoran gives you something like 3D glasses that let you see the moves you make in this fantasy world as a virtual real-time version while you play. It's been taking the RPG world by storm. What nobody knows however, is that these cool new glasses were all part of a plan.
Unlike Faerûn or Toril, Andoran is actually a real place. Yes, you heard me correctly...this is a real place. As in: it actually exists. "But OP!" I hear you cry. "It's just a game, it's not a real thing!"

Are you sure about that? Or is that what they want you to think? You ever hear of the World Tree system? Where there are multiple worlds connected by one huge, spiraling cosmic tree? Yeah, well that's actually a thing. The Norse people knew it, but their map was incomplete. Instead of nine worlds, there are several with Andoranl being one of them. Located in one of the right branches, it's a shadowy land where magic runs rampant and all the fairytales and stories told to children over the years are very, very real. Dragons, elves, wizards, even the elusive and powerful impundulu of the African myths is very real. However, this truth is only known to very few. The king of Andoran, Yavil Silverhand and his eight wizard advisors known as the King's Staff have been studying the other worlds with the intention of conquering them. While studying the Earth, our world (known as Aeartheim in their language), they discovered many role playing games modeled after worlds like their own. Using the magic of the Staff, Yavil and his wizards implanted suggestions in the minds of prominent game developers, which took a great deal of time and effort due to the interdimensional distance. They used an amplifying article called the Eye of Merlin, a gem of great magical power to focus the spell and eventually it succeeded. The glasses were enchanted with powerful magic, as were the die used in the game. After being rolled a set amount of times or on particular combination of numbers, it would open interdimensional portals. Yavil was a tyrant and he wanted to expand his empire to be as large as possible. However, since their technology is far behind modern Earth's, they need a way to access it. They need to know how to operate it, and they need to figure out a way to open enough portals to expand across the worlds.

It's possible, but very difficult. Opening that many portals could cause the very weave of reality to fray apart, but there is a ritual that can stabilize it. A ritual that requires blood. After they get the knowledge from these earthlings, they will be sacrificed to power the ritual unless they can stop that from happening.

You play as a college student attending the University of Nevada. You're also part of a small but dedicated Andoran group, some of you are newbies and some of you had been playing for the whole five years it's been out. This Saturday, you meet up to play with your buddies like you usually do, but something strange happens when you roll the die. Suddenly, you can't take your costumes off. Your wigs seem to be fused to your head...and did Midge's skin just turn red? Are those horns?! And since when was Chandler able to throw fireballs?! Somehow, all of you have become your characters. And you don't know where the hell you are, but it sure ain't Nevada anymore. How will you get back, if ever? Will you disband? Join Yavil in his quest for power? Help save Andoril? Do your own thing or focus on getting home? It's all up to you.


Okay, so the classes of this game are like this. You got the typical player classes of wizard, rogue, fighter, cleric, warlock, druid and all that because almost every RPG has these classes and they're staples, you can't improve tradition ;) Plus I'll be doing a bit of worldbuilding for Andoran here...won't be a lot, but I do probably need to flesh out the world a bit more and I want to get everybody involved.

Name: Teresa Esther/Patient K-423
Age: Unknown, none of her character files ever disclose it.
Gender: Female
Race: Human
Bio:
Born of light and ether in Andoran, Teresa Esther had no real biological parents and was thought to be sent from the heavens above as a holy messenger of the gods meant to save humanity from punishment while at the same time cleansing the earth of sinners. When born she was initially accepted into a religious order which spanned the majority of the current world. Originally serving as a sister, as her affinity for combat grew more and more she became a 'Combat nun', a title given to those who have sworn their lives and purpose to protecting the order and its believers from all harm. She was tasked with accompanying missions to other locations, usually escorting priests and healers to stricken areas to assist anyone.

After a few years of service, she was given a new task of 'Protector of the Order'. She was an official exorcist of the order and was sent off throughout the land, leading a group of fellow exorcists against all demons in this world. During her journey although she was successful in her exorcisms this came at the price of her entire group eventually being killed by the time she was promoted to the highest position possible, known as the 'Guardian of the Divine'. However, this came at an important cost. She had sealed away the souls of her fallen comrades within herself, such that she would not forget. However, during the exorcism of a powerful demon only known as 'Providence', part of the soul of 'Providence' remained and lingered within Teresa, manifesting and contaminating the souls of her comrades. Eventually this almost led to her being taken over, but was only saved in a last ditch attempt exorcism by the order. This led to her having 3 souls. 1 of 'Teresa Esther', another of 'Providence', and another of a divine spell to balance them known only as 'Melissa'. 'Melissa' was an inactive soul, meant to divide power, while Teresa could change between herself and 'Providence', manipulating the latter's power for exorcisms.

Due to the order and their harsh conditions against demonic possessions, Teresa was quietly released from the order with a pay off. Despite this she is still honored among the halls of the order, known for ending the demon 'Providence' when in reality she was still 'Providence'. After that, she wandered around continuing as an exorcist, continuing to purge the world of demons. Eventually, she managed to switch between both 'Providence' and 'Teresa Esther', making her more effective and feared. She settled down as the first native to greet players when they entered the world, almost having a sort of meta knowledge.

During her time as 'Providence', she had become the 'Richter of Demons', still bringing divine judgement onto demons. It was at this time that as new players entered, she realized majority of them were dumb as fuck. She had a dice of her own which was limited only to the beginners area, but outside it was generally pretty useless. After more time had passed and people challenged her, she began to actually fight them, although not fully killing them. With 'Teresa Esther' found to be too weak she switched to 'Richter of Demons', this caused her to be nerfed and gave her her deadly reputation.

As the path to earth was established and her memories interlinked, she learnt of her true self. On top of that once she had learnt of the intentions of the King's Staff, she seeked permission from the order she had left to set up another underground network known as the Celestial Order in an effort to save earth and herself from invasion. This meant that actively, she has been trying to do anything and everything to stop the king, even if it costed her life. This has effectively given her the title of 'Lady Liberty' to some and has caused a massive bounty to be placed on her head.

In reality she is in a state of stasis, forever slumbering with a burden. Her real name is Teresa Esther, but the truth is that she in fact contracted an unknown disease which has since been called Esther's disease. She was the sole daughter of the president of the company producing the entire game and in order to immortalize her memory after it was clear that nothing could work, her sentience was installed into the game as a mirrored image while her real body was placed into stasis with her brain helping to sustain part of the programming. This successfully halted the disease but meant that she only existed merely as a character in the game. Her voice in game is the exact same as reality.
Appearance:
Standard 'Celestial' Appearance

Awakened 'Richter of Demons' Appearance
Personality: Cheerful and bubbly, Teresa mirrors patient K-423, even down to her last moments before she had to be placed into a stasis in order to save her. She is programmed to be helpful to others to some degree. However, despite her beginner friendly sentiment more experienced players will know that at core she is a difficult boss to defeat with her maneuverability and destructive capability. Despite this it is just a myth now as a recent patch removed the ability to challenge her to a duel. Some say that as she's sentient she is still capable of combat.
Abilities:
Dance of the blade: As her base ability or basic attack, Teresa is able to create and use spinning javelins to strike the enemy at a moderate distance. There is a 5% chance for her to deal bleed damage. This attack is usually fast and possibly disorienting, and can be used as a combo to launch a spear at the enemy.

Celestial Blessing: As an all rounder character, she is able to cast an AoE skill which heals characters for 1% of their total health for 5 seconds. This usually requires a lot of energy and has a considerable recharge time.

Judgement of the Gods: Serving as sort of her ultimate skill for her Celestial appearance, she can cast divine judgement which creates an area where trapped opponents are diced apart by blades made of ether. During this mode she can hold onto a javelin, charging into the area in order to directly strike those trapped within the area. This is used as a last resort and is rarely used.

Richter's Awakening: No one knows what mode this is or why it is embedded into her coding, but all that is known is that she can enter a mode known as 'Richter of Demons'. Although this is locked away, and is difficult to activate.


When in 'Richter' mode as it's more commonly known, these are her abilities:

Blood Moon Ritual: Similar to Dance of the blade as her basic attack as 'Richter of the Demon', Teresa can create 2 single handed swords for combat. Her combat style rather than staying at range and letting the javelin spin and slice, is to charge straight into combat. This combat style involves usually spinning around to slice her enemies apart, while emphasizing maneuverability and some level of acrobatics.

Night of the witch hunt: Using the Celestial cross, she can extend the blade out and using her energy, is able to carry it and slash it around as a massive battle axe almost twice of her size (2.8 meters). This is very draining on her and usually is only activated when she uses energy to bring axe blades out on the cross.

Curse of 'Providence': Unleashing the full power of the demon 'Providence', Teresa is able to act almost as a demon in power and movement. This allows her to run spheres around the enemy after she's launched them up in the air to shred them up to pieces. This is however a last resort weapon and usually is the point of no return for Teresa once this is activated.
Level: Unknown, undisclosed
Strengths: With prior experience and a wide skill array, she is one of the strongest characters in game and among one of the best fighters in the world, skilled with both magic and sword. In terms of knowledge she knows a lot about the world and the history behind it, while at the same time possessing important contacts to the Celestial Order.
Weaknesses: Due to her programming her full combat mode is locked away which some predict could make her the strongest being in the world. At the same time she is in game unable to tank damage and is considered the weakest character in the entire game, being able to fall easy.
Alignment: Lawful Good
Goals: No one really knows, she is usually seen in the beginning tutorial stages but since she is technically sentient by all means she can usually be seen wandering around the entire map. However, leading the Celestial Order underground, she seeks to protect earth by any means possible and serves as the counter faction to Yavil and his ambitions.
Equipment:
-Beginner's dice, an important asset for a tutorial master. This dice disables her powers in beginner locations but allows her to serve as a game master of sorts. When outside this die is useless in terms of mechanics.
-The Celestial cross. Another important weapon for Theresa, the Celestial Cross holds a fragment of her 3 souls and is the source of all her power. At the same time for her Celestial mode it provides healing energy and for Richter mode acts as her battle axe.
We don't use NS stats
A -0 civilization, according to this index.
Mod warning counter:
Unofficial: 1
NOTICE: As of 14/10, the empress has officially been granted greater control of the government, including military and financial sectors. That is all, have a good day.

Lookin' good Japan...but since she has a real-world counterpart, she's going to need her own app since she's technically in the game. Maybe she was a former part of the group before getting sick? Or since she is sick, you may not need another app.

Gender: Male
Major: History
Hobbies: Playing other pen & paper games, video games (Nintendo)
Bio (doesn't have to be long): Chuck grew up in the suburbs of Salt Lake City, along with his two parents, a brother, and a sister. He was raised a Mormon, but shortly after graduating high school, he renounced his faith as a Mormon, choosing to go to Las Vegas to be close to home while far enough away from his family. He supports himself by working at a local pizza shop, and also earns a bit of money from a small Youtube channel he runs.
Appearance: He is an average man with an average build, with brown hair and a clean-shaving face. However, he has a complex eye condition, which requires him to wear strong eyeglasses as well as giving him heterochromia.
Personality: He's normally jovial and has a good attitude, but when you get him angry, you'd best stay out of his way. He is also prone to bouts of self-inflection/daydreaming, and has also suffered cases of depression and anxiety after being seperated from his family.
Strengths: He is fairly intelligent, especially in matters of the history of Earth, and how roleplaying games like these work. He is also charismatic, and when he does get anxiety, he is very good at covering it up.

Goals: To try to make his way in the world. His main goal is to settle down as lord of some kind of a manor.
Equipment: Custom-made armor that is flexable as well as durable, many healing potions, a sword, a shield, a crossbow and bolts, and a helmet, as well as a backback that he uses.

Modern World app (who you are in the real world)
Name: Marguerite "Rita" Leblanc
Age: 21
Gender: Female
Major (link is at the top): Accounting
Hobbies: Andoran (of course), cosplaying, she hopes to be an author one day so she writes...she also likes bowling and collecting "magical" objects.
Bio (doesn't have to be long): Rita was the third daughter of Thomasina and Darwin Leblanc, having two older sisters named Willa and Michelle, and a younger sister named Bright. She was given her name after the poet Maya Angelou, whose real name was Marguerite Johnson. She grew up in Atlanta, Georgia and her childhood was a happy one, having a large extended family and parents that encourage her to do whatever her heart was set upon. They didn't mind her interest in magic and fantasy except finding it a little weird, they just played D&D with her for her to have an outlet. Her parents eventually got a divorce when she was eleven (largely because her dad found out he was gay) and so that was a pretty stressful moment. But the dust had completely settled when she was around fourteen or fifteen, and both her parents are still a very huge part of her life. When she was 19, she moved to Vegas after she graduated high school and enrolled in the University of Nevada, where she’s waiting to complete her course. Her sister Willa lives in Vegas with her girlfriend, so she visits them often.
Appearance: 5'6, slim build, dark brown skin, curly black hair which she usually wears up, dark brown eyes, heart-shaped face.
Personality: Rita can be a bit of a drama queen, she tends to do the most when reacting to situations but she's a friendly, outgoing girl who likes to make people laugh and hang out with her friends. She's a colossal nerd and has a huge collection of D&D novels...name it and she's probably read it. However, she's not one to be tried. She's a living bullshit detector and she's not here for it.
Strengths: Math, deductive reasoning and her almost photographic memory. She's charming so she has an ability to persuade people.
Weaknesses: Kinda lazy, she tends to get easily distracted and tends to be disorganized.
Goals: To get a job on Wall Street
Occupation: She currently works as a waitress at a local casino.


Character App (what is the Andoran character you RP as? Your persona for most of the game)
Name: Aelle Grimdark
Age: 42
Gender: Female
Race (go wild, except no deities): Human with drow ancestry.
Bio: Dracologist, Wizard Imperial, teacher, magister, mom. Those are the titles that Aelle Grimdark has for herself. Born in Northern Andoran, she has two older sisters named Dharma and Kismet, both of whom became high ranking battle-wizards in Yavil's army. Why they chose that path, nobody knows...rumor has it that they're even part of the King's Staff. Aelle showed prodigious talent from a young age especially with her studies of dragon lore, and would eventually go on to become the previous king's Wizard Imperial, the highest position for a mage in Andoran. Among those tasks are king's advisor (for which she has the title Magister, a title granted to anyone on the king's council), leader of the battle-mages and protector of the realm. Back early in Yavil's reign, she had high hopes for the brave and cunning young king (whom she tutored in magic herself), and he had decided to keep her on after his father "passed away" but when she could not persuade him away from his tyrannous ways, she decided that she had to help take him down. She's still in her position as Wizard Imperial, but that's only so she could remain close to the court...in secret, she's working with the Resistance and they conduct meetings in her tower (hidden in a secret location). Aelle's never shaken her uneasiness about the death of the previous king, and suspects that Yavil was even behind that. She was married once upon a time, but that marriage didn't work out ultimately. She remains close friends with her ex-husband though, and their sons are known collectively as the Six Sorcerers, as they've gained some fame of their own during their own adventures.
Appearance: 5’11, slender, willowy build (a bit softer after having children), silver-white curly hair (usually styled in a horned hairstyle), dark almond-shaped eyes and deep warm brown skin. Usually dressed in blue, green or black robes.

Nova Corina wrote:Name: Charles "Chuck" Curtis
Age: 20
Gender: Male
Major: History
Hobbies: Playing other pen & paper games, video games (Nintendo)
Bio (doesn't have to be long): Chuck grew up in the suburbs of Salt Lake City, along with his two parents, a brother, and a sister. He was raised a Mormon, but shortly after graduating high school, he renounced his faith as a Mormon, choosing to go to Las Vegas to be close to home while far enough away from his family. He supports himself by working at a local pizza shop, and also earns a bit of money from a small Youtube channel he runs.
Appearance: He is an average man with an average build, with brown hair and a clean-shaving face. However, he has a complex eye condition, which requires him to wear strong eyeglasses as well as giving him heterochromia.
Personality: He's normally jovial and has a good attitude, but when you get him angry, you'd best stay out of his way. He is also prone to bouts of self-inflection/daydreaming, and has also suffered cases of depression and anxiety after being seperated from his family.
Strengths: He is fairly intelligent, especially in matters of the history of Earth, and how roleplaying games like these work. He is also charismatic, and when he does get anxiety, he is very good at covering it up.
Weaknesses: Without his glasses, he is practically blind. He isn't the most physically fit in the world, and he is emotionally struggling after being alienated from his family.
Goals: Try to find his place within the world, as well as find a place in his own family/community.
Occupation: College student, amateur Youtuber, pizza shop employee.

Name: Matthias
Age: 47
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Bio: A soldier that has seen his fair share of conflicts, Matthias is a mercenary. He has fought under Yavil, and fought against his armies as well. He is
Appearance: He has mostly gray hair with patches that are still black. He is covered with stubble as well as battle-scars, and wears special-made full-plate armor that is flexible enough to be agile. Like Charles, he has heterochromia, but without the other side-effects.
Personality: He is gruff, a man of few words. He has learned to not show much emotion on the battlefield, and not to attach emotion to much.
Abilities: Matthias is adept with the art of swordplay, and has special armor that allows him to move around freely while keeping him safe. He is also adept with a crossbow as well as military strategies. He can also take a lot of hits without going down, and has plenty of room for healing potions.
Level: Around 15-20 (D&D standards).
Strengths: Matthias, if not learned, is wise, and as a seasoned soldier, knows about ambushes, and all other types of military strategy. He is strong, fast, and has a high constitution.
Weaknesses: Matthias is not a scholar, and does not know much about the world. He also does not have the best charisma, whether in his dealings or in inspiring others.
Alignment: True Neutral - Matthias has taken jobs from everything corrupt lords and demons to saintly kings and angels. To be a mercenary, one must not have moral standards.
Goals: To try to make his way in the world. His main goal is to settle down as lord of some kind of a manor.
Equipment: Custom-made armor that is flexable as well as durable, many healing potions, a sword, a shield, a crossbow and bolts, and a helmet, as well as a backback that he uses.

Accepted.

Yeah, pretty much. They KNOW of modern Earth tech, but don’t know how to create or use it...that’s why we’re being sucked into the game.

Just thought of something, since the path to earth opened, would it be possible for Teresa to know now since both her real and 'fake' personalities are linked meaning they have a memory synchronization? This meaning that she might have actual knowledge of earth technology, would it be possible?

But they would first detect Earth, and must have struck a deal with the creators of Andoran Game, so some tech may have been replicated. That's not to say there are cars or whatever...

In game, Teresa Esther appeared almost as if she was from heaven.

In reality she was synced up with her real self.

So i'm assuming a possible prospect of real Teresa sharing her memories.

I’m really not sure what tech they would have tbh...mostly medieval but maybe they’d have small things like pistols and electricity for now. And yeah, Teresa could most likely synch her memories once people are in the game, as they’d have access to the Web now.
