Grim Moon (An SAO inspired rp)

[Old Tanokiana]

Well, you did mention cities, so maybe a trip to them (or God forbid, more grinding lol).
Maybe we explore the crooked and hellish city of Veilheim? Or maybe the untamed cities of Lycara or the Necropolis? Been looking forward to how you'd describe these places.

[Canis Rex]

That is a great idea, yes. Any preference? I don't mind which, any of them should have their own charm.

[Old Tanokiana]

Well, I was thinking of Veilheim since KT had his cart despawn. But maybe something else. Like, maybe a random village or city I can't remember the name of. Our protagonists get involved in the middle of a Guild war or something along those lines maybe.

[Canis Rex]

Guild war could be fun. Twisted Fangs and Fifth Column are at it because no one knows much about FC's hierarchy or leadership and even TF is having trouble digging up much, which Lucy takes personally. Maybe they wade into that mess?

Wade or walk into the mess, it'd be funny if all three (or two) characters just got dragged on opposite sides lol

[Canis Rex]

Oh dang. I like the way you think though.

[Canis Rex]

Trying to keep it alive, haha.

[The Imperial Warglorian Empire]

Recently got into SAO, so might consider joining in.

Busy with school stuff though, so we'll see.

Seeing as you already have a lil' partnership here, do you guys need any particular class of character for a third team member?

[Canis Rex]

Hey, glad to have the consideration in any case.
I don't know of any character type for sure, for classes maybe a tank/heavy weapons user? I think all our group right now leans more towards agility.

Would you mind making the equipment a bit more fantasy-friendly? I think the most advanced gear anyone has is a musket. And are you sure you want your level that low? Players start at 500, though they can let it decay. You would probably be the lowest level player in the game. You would be basically invisible to enemies at least, but need to avoid fights with other humans like the plague.

Nahh changed it

[Canis Rex]

What about equipment?

[American Pere Housh]

I will try to post something tomorrow night.

[Canis Rex]

Alright, always good to see you!

[Earth Allies]

What about equipment?

Why is that?

[Canis Rex]

I'm still seeing a modern rifle and holo watch. The setting is more fantasy and the most advanced equipment is a musket. So equipment needs to be brought more into that range.

[Canis Rex]

Hahaha, no problem OT.

[Old Tanokiana]

I apologise if my posts are short and shit, I suck at this lol

[Canis Rex]

No worries, you're doing good! That was honestly a clever move.

[Old Tanokiana]

Sorry for not postin in a while, I decided to take a break from NS, but I'm back and I'm trying my best! Will post something later I swear!

[Canis Rex]

No worries and glad to see you back! Tell me if I need to add anything to my last post to help, kind of feel like I might not have left it in the best place to jump from.

This seems interesting, and reminds me of log horizon as well.

Name: Dawson Ravencroft
Age: 25
Gender: Male
Appearance:

Bio: Dawson was born in 1995. When the event happened Dawson had recently graduated from his masters, and was going to start a junior government internship. A fan of rpg’s Dawson had joined the game about a month prior.

The game seemed like fun and levelling was fast. As he levelled things seemed to occupy stages.

When he first began the quests were mostly low level fetch quests. A criminal here, a thief there, the usual thing. It seemed interesting. He was able to run investigations, question people, talk with what authorities there were. Eventually he began to receive quests from nobles. He needed to find a noble who had been kidnapped, then a hew and cry was put on him and he needed to clear his name, and then he helped with a mining operation. He received a title, Baron of Blackforest, a small feudal estate outside firelight compass that was overgrown with an old mansion and previously was known for forestry and agriculture before being abandoned.

By level 150 he was looking to try something different. His quests took on a different tone. He tried to continue helping the common people, and his previous efforts drew the attention of the guilds. He began to be hired as a caravan guard, and other times the thieves guild hired him to transport illicit goods. The latter were few and far between. Still the activities led him to interactions with odd areas of society, pickpockets, fences, thieves, and other outlaws.

By level 300 Dawson had gathered enough promise to receive the attention of a Marquis. Being on the border region of a grim area, Dawson was offered freedom from prosecution for anything done previously in exchange for working for him. Dawson joined the quest chain and wound up going from a field agent meeting with informants to a counter-intelligence function catching rebellion leaders, to a covert-operations role. He worked with lycans and bug people and other colourful people along the way, leading to his contraction of lycanthropy. He is able to become a wereraven or a Raven.

By level 450 Dawson had grown to be a fine agent within the marquises intelligence community, and gained the attention of the Duke. The Duke had Dawson transferred to his services, not as a spy but as a diplomat. Dawson was the Dukes liaison between himself and the other members of the nobility. In order to keep relations on the up and up sometimes favours would need to be exchanged and Dawson would use his characters previously gained skills to go hunt down someone or get something or gain some knowledge. To aid with this he developed his own team of 10 people.

The event happened when Dawson was level 600. He was pulled into the game. Since entering the game and learning the npc’s are alive now, Dawson has mostly remained on his mostly restored estate. This was due primarily to a few factors, first was the unfamiliarity, the second was because just as some npcs liked him some others did not, and third was because of fear of being killed. It took about a week before a player came to his home representing Crystal Origins and he gained the courage to leave and join the Crystal Origins Guild. Joining the guild was one step that helped encourage other steps and his current willingness to try new things being greater than a month ago. After joining the guild he has met with the Duke on occasion, or walked the city, or volunteered at the local infirmary to assist the recovery of a player or npc.

Weapons/Equipment:
Dawson has equipment left over from before the event. He carries a Great Axe, Hand Axe, and a Large tear shaped Shield. He has a fur cloak to accommodate for the cold of GrimDark. Under the cloak Dawson has a backpack with various survival items inside or attached. Bedroll, tent, rations, extra clothes, torches, etc. His armour mainly includes a chainmail, gauntlets, boots, a helmet with a faceplate, and after the event he has taken to wearing a breastplate to help.

After learning that death is permanent his interest in insurance against dying has increased, but so has his interest in keeping others from dying in combat before they can return. He carries an advanced Medical Kit.

Whether it’s needed for combat or survival, Dawson also has a Horn on his belt. He has a Signet ring on his finger, a scroll of pedigree in his bag, a coin purse on his belt, and a grappling hook on his belt. Two fairly intelligent Ravens travel with him that he can communicate with, although he speculates his lycanthropy may have something to do with that. Dawson has a journal, ink pen and ink well for taking notes as well.
