Another version of my first attempt at a RP, Sacred Sword Online. I'll use a different name, and the plot should be a lot different too. The way that the VR works will also be changed.
It would take place in... 2029, perhaps? I don't know. Right now, I think that it won't revolve so much around being trapped in the game, but the possibility that deactivating the game might destroy an entire universe. The name of the game would probably be Fractured Tales MMO, and it would take place in a grouping of about 7, earth sized or greater worlds called Shards, which are basically shaped like giant shards of glass.
In the real world, AR has become main stream, and most school assignments and stuff are handed in through a program called "Desk Nav". A lot of people will use their AR Goggles to make transactions and things like that.
In game, we might eventually learn that the game's world is actually an entirely different universe, and by shutting the game down, we will completely obliterate that world and it's people through the codes added into the world by the game's creator.
Magic would be used through inscription cicles, which are basically circles with the fundamental code of the world inscribed inside of them.
Any thoughts on how I could pull this off in a different way than it was done is SAO? I'm thinking that the VR machines would probably be capsules that people lay in, but I'm not so sure.
I don't plan on letting this get to be anything like SAO. No, I plan on making this much better and grand than SAO is, with complex conflicts and an actually motivated villain. I'm not going to use a quiet, boring villain like Kayaba in this RP. |
