Nickolas

The second boar that he attacked had made it's hit. He was very good and seemed to know what he was doing. While I was not so great. Taking my standard sword, I rushed the third boar, but stopped as the first one came for me. It was much faster than I expected, Charging me, I had only enough time to block the oncoming attack. I could see my health drain down just a little, but as soon as that was done, I pushed the boar back and launched my own attack as my sword came down on it's head.

I simply nodded my head as the new person I had met started to speak about talking to the pink haired girl about something. Indicating her with a hand, I motioned for him to go and try to talk to her. Give it a shot. The worst she can do is say no.

OOC: if you guys still want to continue this we can. I was on a Slight LOA due to RL problems.

IC:

Watching as I took another drink, the girl with the bright pink hair suddenly her footing was off. Enough so that she fell down and started to roll down the side of the hill that was off a little ways. Rolling three times before coming to a stop and planting the blade of her sword into the ground. I smiled as I walked towards her. Clearly she had messed up somewhere, but this is a place where she would need to learn. Stretching out my hand towards her, Looks like you took a little trip Helping her back up to her feet, I smiled brightly, My name is Nickolas, May I ask what is yours?

While we walked further the had been made apparent. Three of them against two. While we had the more element of surprise, Echo Attacked. I let his words run in my head of running if anything went wrong. But I shook my head. There was no way that I would let him die. Yes I was scared sometimes, but I would not leave.

I didn't even wait for Echo's words before I attacked the boar that he did. Coming up along the side and sweeping at the boars feet and then coming down on the center of the back. Now it was time to prepare for another as the three boars charged us

It was as I taking steps towards Echo, that the man on the wall walked over saying something about hunting. Smiling as Echo said he would, I smiled. Reaching both of the other men, I spoke, Looks like you are meeting another person I see. offering my hand out to the man named Hawke, I introduced myself. Nickolas, and what are you waning to hunt?

There were many things to simply hunt down and kill, but if he and seemingly I could take it down, then with how high a level that Echo is, I was sure that we could take them down. However a girl off to my right looked somewhat familiar to me. Pink hair, nice form. I only questioned who it might have been.

As Echo stood up to say that it would be good in killing something that could actually spawn back to life, I nodded my head as he had his sword materialize onto his own back. Nodding my head to him as it was clear this blade was different, I smiled as we walked to the plains. Asking along the way. Where could I get a sword like that? nit really asking fo his, but just something better than a standard straight sword. If I was goig to be able to fight, I needed something to go along with my skills. As well as my attitude.

Still somewhat thinking to myself I smiled If he is really going to help me, then I guess just one friend will not do. And I will not forget this anytime soon. this may turn out to be a good day afterall. Let's just hope that this was true.

I smiled a devilish smile as the pink haired girl made her way back. Still holding my sword in my right hand, I waved a hand. With us playing this battle of wits, I was glad for it. This took my mind off of the constant want of my past to be solved. It allowed me to have a break. Albeit it was looking to be a good one by the looks of it.

Give it a shot pinky. Let's see what you can do. almost taunting her to attack the dummy or even myself. I almost wished that she would. Almost.

I waited for her reaction, be it either of them, I was watching and waiting. Ready for her.

With Echo showing sympathy to me, I shook my head. He felt as though he lost someone, but he doesn't even know who! I didn't know what was worse. Not knowing who was dead yet they haunted you, or knowing someone enough to love them and have them die before your eyes. Looking up, I could see that he had been doing the same that I had a few seconds ago.

I nodded my head. And smiled as I spoke. Makes you want to fight something just to feel like a guy again. I stood up and looked at him. What is in the past is in the past. We need to learn to move on and continue with our lives. I flicked through my HUD to have my sword appear on my back. Wanna talk on the way to go and kill something?

I could feel that both of us had some connection. And maybe by fleshing it out, We could work together.

Taking another sip of my drink, I looked up to hear the snap sounds of a sword. Looking up at the training grounds, I saw a girl. Pink hair. Nice form in her stance. but she seemed almost hesitant at first. I watched as she tried to duplicate my moves. After taking the sip, an letting her sit down, I smiled. I sat the water bottle down. and drew my sword. Walking up once more to the dummy.

I was standing in such a way to keep an eye on the girl. But not enough to make it look like I was watching her. Moving my eyes back to the dummy, I held my sword in my right hand with ease. Taking a breath into my chest, I lunged forward once more. Stabbing into the stomach, with a twist of my hips and body, I had my back to the dummy and flung it into the air. It soared over my head up into the skies.

I smiled as I jumped after it. swinging my sword to smack it to the side when I caught it's arm with a flip, I slammed it back to the ground and followed after. My sword came down to pierce through the body into the ground letting it burst once more into a thousand pieces. Turning around I walked off to let the girl give it another shot. Maybe with her sword she could do the same or even more than what I had done.

Welcome both of you!

If you would like to RP I can help with that.

Everybody likes Kirito. He is the main character. Klein however would be my fave just because even when he is turned down by Kirito, and Asuna (he hit on her before they faced Gleaming eyes) he still sees Kirito as a friend and an ally. Kind of sad not to see him in either of the ALO or GGO.

Heathcliff is awesome as well. You would think that of the villains so far in the series, the next guy would be best, but he was just a brat perv who wanted Asuna for fun time.

(friend told me so I have to trust what I heard. Though he might be wrong. Don't know don't care.)

In a almost singsong tune, I hummed. Not because I felt happy, but because it was something to do other than talk to my self like I had. Solo-payers have been popping up recently after some "Black swordsman" called himself a Beater. A clash of a Beta Tester and a cheater. I didn't really care. if one of them helped me, I wouldn't complain against them. They probably had more gear than I did. In my right hand was a Simple yet standard One hand straight sword. literally the blade that I had at the start of the game. Couldn't get much standard than that.

I needed a kill. Well, not a player kill, but kills of the spawning boars that were here. With the recent outburst of Solo-players, I needed to up my game fast. After my meeting with Echo.... Right? Something with and E, I had found that I needed a kick me up. and somehow he had given that to me. As I walked I saw a man in a white coat zoom past me. So fast that he didn't register as someone I knew. I shrugged my shoulders and moved on to the meeting spot. Looking around, I found the man on the wall. Waiting there like he said he would. Only instead of walking to him, I sat down in the grass. Using my blade as giant scissors to cut the grass and let them puff into oblivion and spawn back again about 30 seconds later.

Looking off to the side, I noticed another person. Not moving or doing anything for the moment. When the guy in the white coat came back. he sat down, and until I looked at his face, I saw that it was Echo. standing up with the aid of my sword as a cane, I walked over as I put my sword up. Echoes seem to come from every direction don't they.

Call it my introduction to Echo as he sat there almost gloomy like.

Echo pointing out that Col and food running low was not something new. Nor was the complaining. Growing up in a family that was all about survival of the fittest, I had learned that not everybody will help you. So I grew up fast. Cooking full meals at the age of eight years old. Learning how to fire my old man's guns when I was merely six years old. If there was a problem with something I had, I learned to fix it. In this game? in this time? it was different. I really was alone here because I didn't know how to fix.... whatever it was.

The continuation of Echo wanting to help me, saying more for it being hard to help with no information. I didn't answer him. Fearful that if I did, I would be considered a coward. I just hoped that I could have fought back. And when the words struck home of losing someone. I sat down. His voice was asking not because he thought it was a possible outcome, but because he most likely dealt the same things. I could feel my jaw get tight as I wanted to keep my mouth shut. Not saying a word as he continued more. Saying he would not let me be alone.

I shook my head. Giving in somewhat. Not someone. Looking up at him I held up three fingers. Pointing out that it was more than one person. The one that kept coming back the most was Jasmine. Because I knew her face outside of the game before we got stuck here. She and I had some of the same classes together Freshman year in highschool. That's how we met. She had dropped her pencil, and I picked it up for her as we were both late getting to the same class. She was new and so I covered her by saying that I was trying to help her find her way when we ended up on the wrong side because of her.

I could feel my heart clench up as I shook my head. Three of them killed by Player killers. Draw you in with a green, and ambush you with oranges. I stopped myself before I spoke anymore. Wishing I could touch the necklace that she had given me for my birthday. First time we kissed as well. Kind of hard to forget about that. I turned away from his eyesight. Hiding my face with my black hair. Fresh. I was not going to talk any more about it.

Close 9Lives. I was more so thinking of that idea, only on its own subforum. With how it is put like this, I see no real approval ideals taking place. Just a check to make sure that it is not overpowered for that kind of weapon. What I mean is different.

Name: name of the weapon

Type: ....

Quality:

Common use: What is the normal abilities

Special uses: Special properties should the item of the correct rank have the ability to have one.

Just about the same, however, put into a different format so that a person cannot go back and edit them (I have seen it done before, and as I see this site is relatively new from what I can tell, Less than a year or so. I have not see it yet.) However, it is put all into one thread, and that can make it harder for people to read and approve of. I am trying to think of a way to clean it up a bit more so you don't have everybody on one thread making weapons, and armor. Admins need to plan not now, but for the year ahead. Seen it too many times where a site under 2 years crashes because everybody condenses stuff and lets it slide. I am trying to avoid that.

I am suggesting in putting the creation items on their own sub forums to keep it clean and neat. If you have a blow up, which will probably happen when GGO comes out to TV sets all around the world, You need to be prepared for it. This would be one of those ways.

There was a dummy right in front of me. Made of straw and rucksack, it's purpose was to be hit without hitting back. I liked it that way as I had drawn my standard straight sword. In on hand on my right, the blade felt hefty but not too hard for mento handle. Almost as though it were an extension of myself. With a sudden leap, I charged forward the four stows between the two of us. Coming with and inward slash followed by a quick backhand and a jab. With sadness, I had missed the jab against the dummy for the third time out of seven sets. I wanted to pratice before fighting again. I had to get my mental thoughts over what happened. But I was pissed. Swinging m. Sword again at the dummy, I came in with a diagonal cut fro my right to left, another from my left to right, with a jab to follow up. However I continued in rage.

Spinning around to bring an upper cut, I had unhinged the dummy from the ground. As it went into the air, so did I. Followed swiftly with a down cut that cleaved it in half. And slamming it with my sword into the ground. With a flash, the dummy was broken and shattered into rainbow flakes like everything else did when it was broken. I was tired. Pitting the sword on my back, the sheath slid and moved a little as it vanished to go back into my inventory. I walked off of the training grounds and grabbed a water on the way out. It was only a few seconds later that I was sitting on a bench outside the training fence drinking the water and running a hand through my hair. Surprisingly you could almost feel as though you were sweating, but we were in a game. So the best I had was being a little flustered and pissed off.

Taking another sip of the water I could almost see the image of Jasmine smiling at me whe we had our last birthday party together. Now as it was my birthday again, only this time, I was alone, and without a present or a gift of any kind. Hopefully things will change when I get better.

The man Echo was nice I guess, but he was alittle but too forthcoming than what I normally was. While we had sat down on a bench just over to the one that I had been sitting at less than a minute ago, He asked if he could help me. And from his actions to the way I had asked him if he had said anything, he might think I was a little crazy. I rubbed my hands on my pant legs as he asked if there was something wrong. A small part of me wanted to simply come out and say that I felt like a failure and wanted revenge, but the other side won over in me just mentioning that I now had no more food, and was literally broke. If I had any Col, it was probably because I had just forgotten about it.

Swallowing a lump in my throat I answered him I have no form of money, not a scrap of food, and... I was kind of stupid for throwing that roll. I could have eaten it, but I threw it because I wanted to stay away from the feelings of a lier and a coward. I don't have anything to make up for my time that I waisted here. I have little skill so I can hardly fend for myself, and having onl standard gear. I shook my head with a sad smile. Trying to stand up and walk away. Look I am sorry to have wasted your time. I just don see how you could help me when all I do is complain.

I wan- no needed help, but I kept telling my self I did not deserve it. I was too headstrong to realize that this man could have gone through the same if not worse things than myself. Nor do I realize that many others who I had not bumped into would have done the same as this man. This is probably a one in a billion chance to get something, but I was just to impaitent to just sit down and even sit with Eden or Echo or whatever he wanted to call himself.

Hello,

I have seen the current process on how an item is made in the site. Be it in the listing with the information on it, or in the actual RPs themselves. And I would like to suggest an idea where it can be done in a more clealy manner.

As someone who has RPed in a few different types of styles of rp. I spud suggest a factory. Or a separate listing of where people can take a standardized outline for weapons or armor, post it in ther in need for approval by people deemed able should the admins or moderators want more people to deal with this, and once approved, have a link to their weapon, as well as the thread(s) they completed to create the said item.

I know that this would put alot more work on your guys hands, but that's where you could make moderators under a special destination to judge just the tech items. As well as have a WIP forum where people can put up the submissions the need to be approved, and an approved section to not allow people to tamper with the item. This is just a small idea as I have seen it in many places for RP forums.

Once again this is just an idea for you to think over so you done have to deal with having over 300 posts in a single thread for items waiting to be approved. It creates a more clean running environment and I have noticed that people dont use pictures for irked or sometimes even characters. So this would be a great use for that. (said images need to have a source where you can give credit to whoever owns the picture for legal reasons.) anyways just hold my word worth a grain of salt.

Thanks for reading!

EDITED TO HAVE A POLL. no other things were added or deleted.

This would be awesome to play with! I like the idea of it, but I'm a guy who over thinks things. And well, what if this chip could do more than they say it can? I mean, it records everything you do. Meaning that let's say if you look up... Private things, then they see that. As well as seeing passwords, and other such. Don't let me be a downer to ya! I am all to this! I am just saying be careful before putting this chip or whatever else is for it in yourself.

Oh and I would love to use this, but as most consoles that come out always have buggs with them in the beginning. I me personally I would wait a year or two before I got one to make sure that nothing freaks out on me!

Well since you proposed the idea for us to get together and got all of us here, I would say that you go first and just follow the post order that was done here.

Hawke

Echo

Nick

Kashi

Sounds good For everyone here? Improbably the newest guy here so hold my word worth a grain of salt.

Walking into someone. The guy helped me up from falling when I had bumped into him. He was rather forwards about wanting to know what was wrong with me, and wanting to help me. I clammed up and shook my head with a sigh. People have been here just as long as I have, and I have no skills, or names or titles to show that I had been useful. Even introducing him as Eden out of game, and Echo. Looking up to his name bar, I could see his level and name. The usual full heath that everyone had around here as well.

Um. Hello I tried to walk past him, just to move around him, but I could feel that the way this man acted, he would sidestep me to get his answer. I um... I'm Nickolas Deciding that I would have to be nice right now, I handed my hand out to him. Greeting him with a not so enthusiastic attitude. I gave a firm handshake, but nothing more. Why would you want to know? Shouldn't you be doing something else rather than dealing with a low level? Let alone a Soloplayer. I chuckled nervously as I was kind of putting myself down.

Even looking at him, I could see a man behind him turn around. And then Adam was there. Smiling at me as though nothing had ever happened. He walked towards me and then vanished as he reached out to me and made contact with the real world person of Echo. I shook my head trying to rid my mind of him, Sorry did you say something?

The ding of the HUD came on as I went through the list of inventory. Going down the list. Sword, Sword, Armor, And at the bottom was the last roll I had. I was hesitant on clicking it with my finger. Bing. The roll then appeared in my hand. A wheat roll. I brought it to my mouth, but I didn't take a bite as I looked down. Almost all of my vision changed to be that of when I was sitting at the kitchen table before the game came out. Jasmine and her parents over to my house with my own parents. My brother, Morna, Walking up to me with a hand on my shoulder and saying something, But I could not hear him. I then looked around as Jasmine's face went red and her parents and my own laughed. I could not control my actions but I smiled and shook my head. Taking a bite of the roll that was given to us for dinner that night.

*CRUNCH*

I almost spit out the food as it was hard as tack. I would know since my brother had been training to join the military. Tack. A form of bread that was baked to be hard and last a long time on the shelf. We even had tack in our emergency kit at home. But the image faded from my site as the roll was not the soft ones my mother made. I was tired, hungry, and angry. But under all of that, I was in misery. Seeing your friends die when you knew them from the Real world outside the game, only to die here. I had killed people in games before, but the thought of actually killing people in the game before, I never thought of. Now, I would love to kill the men who slit Jasmine's throat, stabbed Adam, and pushed Yusauna off the cliff that we were training on.

I was getting mad. Taking the roll, I threw it at the street from the bench I was sitting on. Letting the artificial food bounce down a few times before bursting in a flash of rainbow flakes and shapes. I let my head slip down to my chest and covered my eyes with the semi-long black hair. I tried to hide the tear that I could feel trying to leave, and I was successful of doing so. I got up in a rush bumping into some guy walking along his way and to move away from here. Every step I took was a Lie. I was a lie. I just stood there as my friends were killed, and ran when they came for me. I was not brave to fight for them. I was a waste.

Moving on, I prayed to whatever higher being there was in the world, asking for help, even if I felt I didn't want or need it.

Interesting. If you don't mind I would like to join. I am not really sure if my character would clash with yours, But I can certainly make it. I live to make a more Story themed RP than just straight up fights. if you want to see my character, I'll link him here. And good luck in finding someone.

viewtopic.php?f=21&t=4056

Alright thank you all for the help that you have given me. I think I have everything. I just need to get used to the rolls and just get aquatinted with others. So if any of you can RP. Just say so.

Alright thanks.

Anyways, I looked on other people's bio/Journals/Character sheet that they had nine of them and were listed as Zero. So i will just go with that and see if it works. If not then I will change it later as I have a little OCD thing for having it filled out.

Yeah, blame it on my over thinking and constant need to double check things. (trying to work on that sorry.)
