User blog:Phlegmatic-Yosuke/RP Idea No. 1

'''Ferrets. Monk told me to do this to get him involved, so yeah.'''

Yo, your friendly neighborhood Zion here. Today I would like to talk about an idea I've had recently ever since I watched Sword Art Online and thought it was just a god-awful anime drama with the side of cringe and fanservice with special beam cannons and Z-Swords.

I thought how to make this idea better made instead of the protagonist being a generic hero with one-sided fights and skills beyond measure with side-characters who just end up falling in love with him or being jealous. I mean, the idea of the anime is ingenious, but it was pulled off wrong.. Oh, who am I kidding, it was atrocious.

Then I thought... What if I made something that was like Sword Art Online, but take away pretty much everything that was horrible in it, and make it better, more feasible, and a lot more enjoyable for the average investigator type person. So, me, Chames (who might be on and off from the production due to his own projects), Monk, and Mantis are making a new RP called The Space Between.

Plot
Ever since the dawn on virtual simulation, it has always been a dream to transmit the human mind into games, private chat rooms, and all sorts of places for social interaction. From time and time again, technology has become increasingly better through the works of advertisment, self-defense, and in daily life. The teamwork of humans and Mobians has increased this, making some parts of Mobius/Earth more advanced societies than others.

In recent years, RaZor bLaDe Studios has further innovated the simulator genre of gaming by creating a special brand of visors that allows people to go inside virtual reality, breaking the barrier between the real world and simulation. The visor named simply encephalon and it was a revolutionary breakthrough. It sold quickly, as much as 2.4 million units being sold in the first month.

The encephalon headgear came with a game made by RaZor bLaDe Studios called Magitek, an virtual reality MMORPG based on the ongoing war between the use magicka and technology respectively. This game was known for it's realistic graphics and gameplay, relying more on mental focus, skill and racial buffs rather than skill trees and upgrades.

You decide to play with a group of friends and hop into this game. Nothing bad could possibly happen.

But, like in every other adventure RP, everything bad does happen.

Basic Rules
Rules. Infamous for being hated. A lot.
 * Firstly, no use of any real-life powers or weapons. You can only use the abilities and skills you have in the game.
 * This game is based on modern tech and medieval weapons. There is no futuristic laser pointers here. Either use regular rifles, shotguns, or the like, or use the medieval weapons, like spears and magicka.
 * Natural race abilities you choose are usable. Ex: If you're a bat type character, you are able to see through the dark and fly. You also have to have that races weakness. Ex: Bats have a harder time fighting during the day, and may cause you to die in real-world minutes. This could be cured by using some sort of magic, but otherwise.. Yeah..
 * There are no classes. It's simple. The more you do a certain task, the more experience you have with that ability, which leads to you getting more skills and benefits for doing that ability. For example, you have maxed out your one-handed sword ability to lvl. 950. You can now wield S-Class ranking swords and you are a lot more skilled with those abilities.


 * The setting is a war between magicka and technology in the game. In real life, it is mostly based on city-like areas, such as Central City, Dragon Kingdom, or a city in your own country. Players can live by/with each other or they can use video chat to discuss. It all depends on you.
 * In the game, there are a total of 32 countries. 13 belong to the enchanted races, 12 belong to the techies, and the remaining lands are more for renegades or mercenaries. The game has randomized weather, meaning on some days it's sunny, some cloudy, some rainy, you get the idea. In real life, that is up to the area.
 * Along with being split by lifestyle, it is split up by race. There are 7 humanoid (excluding human, which is actually human) races: elf, human, dwarf, Spriggan, Slyph, cyborg, and EXO. The Mobian races are animals of the person's choosing, but there are some mystical and technical races, such as dragons and androids/cybrogs/whatever.
 * Players can create guilds/squadrons, but there are two main factions: The Order of The Keep (magicks) and STAP (Superior Technological Adaptive Personnel).

Character Rule Thing
'''Explanation of the perks and gameplay of the game will be discussed in another blog. 'Till then, see ya's.'''
 * It is heavily considered you should try making new characters, but you can go ahead and add your character in the story, if it's feasible for them.
 * Characters can be human or Mobian, obviously.
 * If you are on the side of the STAP or The Order of The Keep, please do not make your character know any info on them until you steal info from them. Same goes with the story.
 * You're most likely gonna have a weapon, unless you plan on being a shopkeep.
 * On character interactions? Go nuts. You can fight, talk, do whatever!
