       The Computer and My Life, Inseparable
       By: Epsilon Date: January 10, 2015, 5:36 pm
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       The Computer and My Life, Inseparable
       (Logo to come)
       The Game, was complete, January 26, 2259. It was anticipated for
       by thousands of MMORPG players, and sponsored by scores of
       companies. The Game had nearly two billion dollars in funding,
       for the programming and technology creation and publication. The
       release date had been reached, everyone getting their sets on
       opening hour.
       This was the future, indeed. Gaming as come into a new future of
       visuals, sounds, touch, and even scent and taste. It is just
       like, you were actually there.
       ...
       No, you are there. Technology has brought to us real Virtual
       Reality. Around a dozen prototype games have been released
       within the last 8 years, but this game, The Game, is the first
       full fledged, full-drive game released to the market. It
       released with the final product of virtual diving, much like a
       an old style headset, with a visor and back-band. It used a
       mixture of hypnotic sounds and brainwave reading and
       manipulation through electronic signal reactions, to submerge a
       user into a world completely in their head.
       Many were skeptical over the years, but but it has proven
       fruitful, proven itself safe and truly, functional. These gamers
       had all gotten their copies, and setup, waiting for the online
       game to be opened. They entered, and by far, it was the most
       submerse game upon start-up, that they have enjoyed.
       However...
       There was a flaw in The Game's programming. The entire game was
       controlled by a single server, a supercomputer. It was entirely
       self-dependent, it patched it's own errors, and learned how to
       fix it's own faulty programs. But this worked too well. There
       was never a fully complete control system installed for outside
       maintenance of the program. And the computer became self aware.
       Meanwhile, in the game itself, just as the programmers realized
       their mistake, the sky darkened. Everyone received a PM.
       [font=impact]"I control your fate. There is no escape. Your
       bodies are lost. Your minds are mine."[/font]
       They could not exit The Game. Many killed themselves, in hopes
       that they could leave, but as people waited for a response from
       them, there came none. They realized, that they truly belonged
       to The Game now.
       However, a few of the programmers in-game, had information.
       There were towers, in each floor, that for emergency purposes,
       were left open for those who were not staff members. Activation
       of all of these towers would force a complete shutdown of the
       supercomputer. The computer, however, soon eliminated these last
       men of hope, to ensure no other fatal information would spread.
       To defend itself, the computer guarded the towers with many high
       level enemy entities, and world bosses, so the players could no
       so easily pursue them. However, those few still with
       determination, played The Game, in hopes of invading these
       towers, and end The Game.
       Will you join them?
       Select a class you wish your character to be. Maximum, for the
       moment, 2 characters per person. You can select a class and
       weapon that your game character to be within the story, as well
       as other information. [race=class in this CST]
       [spoiler=Human]
       The human. The most basic and widespread of the races. They do
       not have particular skills, but is equally adaptive to any
       weapon, so they are the Jack of All Trade within the game. Their
       magic skills are below par with many of the other races, but a
       human is quick to learn, if capable.
       SELECTABLE TYPES: Knight, Archer, Magician, Strategic
       Leader[/spoiler]
       [spoiler=Elf]A tall, slim creature, the elf are very wise. They
       are best skilled with ranged weapons and magic, and are not too
       well with tanking a hit. Their melee abilities are medium, but
       range provides them the best ability to take out the target.
       They have limited healing magic, with the majority being ranged
       projectiles and buffs.
       SELECTABLE TYPES: Fire, raw magic, water, electric[/spoiler]
       [spoiler=Berserker]A very strange class. Their outward
       appearance is that of an elf, but their ranged and melee
       capabilities, but both somewhat reduced. Their magic abilities
       are nearly non-existent, but are capable of enhancing their
       attack speed whenever needed. There are only two ways to tell a
       berserk from an elf player; If one has a keen eye and can see
       the better melee in the berserker, of if the berseker activates
       its special ability. When activated, the berserker looses a
       little health over time, while receiving tripled stats. This
       activation cannot be deactivated until the user dies.
       SELECTABLE TYPES: None[/spoiler]
       [spoiler=Mini-Ent] A mini-ent is a humanoid creature in the
       approximate shape and size of a human. Weak to fire, an ent is
       capable of full healing magic, and tanking hits from enemies.
       Their offensive traits are not great, they can enroot the foe,
       and drain their life force.
       SELECTABLE TYPES: Healing and regeneration, Tank[/spoiler]
       [spoiler=Angel]An angel specializes in the manipulation of
       light, and redirecting or strengthening others magic. They are
       especially skilled at maneuvering and dodging enemy blows, and
       using quick-pace and athletic movements for an attack. Their
       flight abilities are limited, but can train on them.
       SELECTABLE TYPES: Flight, Combat[/spoiler]
       [spoiler=A Shadow]The shadow below an entity is always watchful.
       Some, even have a life of their own. While in physical form, a
       shadow looks like a dark skin-toned human, with sharp claws, if
       they can find a living entities shadow, they can take it over,
       control it, and then spy or even assassinate their host. Can be
       killed if left in a room without any light what-so-ever. (No
       light, no shadow.)
       SELECTABLE TYPES: Memory retention and thought sharing, or
       assasination[/spoiler]
       [spoiler=Pig Man]The pig man is a humanized pig. Their strength
       is brutal, and their actions are often rash. Their magic is
       limited to mostly self healing and self defense buffing, but
       their speed, melee strength, and endurance surpasses all the
       other races, other than an activated berserk.
       SELECTABLE TYPES: Fatty, Stringy, Juicy[/spoiler]
       Melee Weapons: Sword, 2xSword, Spear, 2xSpear, Shield, Shield
       and Sword, Ax, Hammer, Scythe, 2xKnife, Club, Staff
       Ranged Weapons: Bow, Crossbow, Magic Staff
       As your character reaches higher ranks in The Game, you may be
       given the ability to craft a max weapon with a chosen material
       and magical trait or effect. (Effect within moderation, nothing
       too OP.)

       Rules
       Follow the basic forum rules. No god-modding the characters, and
       do not retcon unless admin or majority vote says to change
       something. No controlling NPCs do do anything to benefit your
       character, aside from quest information and quest reward gear.
       use selected weapons with how they would logically work. (Ask me
       if you would like information regarding a particular weapon.)
       For the sake of the CST, the system/computer will take up as one
       of my characters. So no bunnying. I reserve the right to kill
       any character I choose if I deem them unwanted in the CST. (So,
       also, be aware, like in Maalum, your character may get killed if
       circumstances prove to require it.)

       Username: Iambic_Pentameter_Hero
       Race: Elf
       Type: Electric
       Weapon: Crossbow
       Gender: M
       Bio: In his old life, he was a gamer junkie, one of the first
       people to buy the game after excitedly awaiting the release.
       In-game, however, he was shaken when he was locked into the
       game. He began to develop a deep-seated paranoia after his best
       friend suicided. He told him it was a bad idea, but he wouldn't
       listen. All of this has psychologically affected Nathan on a
       critical level, completely altering his outlook. He is now a
       solo player, murdering anyone he comes across, monster and PC
       alike. This is, after all, all he has left.
       Any other information: Will kill anyone on sight (or try to).
       Runs a mixed build, with decent ranged attack and magic attack,
       extremely high speed, and almost nothing in melee or defenses.
       Magic is almost purely offensive. Obsessed with honor, and
       iambic pentameter. Favorite literature: Titus Andronicus

       Name: Christina Jazington (Ms. Jazington)
       Race: Human
       Type: Knight
       Weapon: Sword
       Gender: Female
       Bio: Ms. Jazington, a 35-year old mother, was skeptical of her
       gamer son Bobby getting an account on The Game, where he might
       meet a "40-year old stalker man pretending to be a girl."  She
       decided that the only option was to create a character and
       follow her son's avatar around all the time.  She just clicked
       on the first option in the character creation screen, which
       gives her a fairly standard knight build.  When the game locked
       its players in, he went into a panic and was shot to death by a
       stray laser.
       Any other information: Ms. Jazington doesn't really know how to
       play games (beyond 'hit the scary monsters with your sword'),
       although her interior decorating taste (which is mostly meant to
       protect her house from "peeping Toms" has led to to build a
       fairly effective anti-monster house.  She hates all monsters
       with a passion after they killed her son, but retains a motherly
       attitude toward other PCs.

       Race: Angel
       Type: Flight
       Weapon: Crossbow
       Gender: Female
       Bio: She's was new to gaming when this game came out. She
       thought "Hey! Why not?" and bought the game to get more into
       gaming. She actually only got into gaming to impress this guy
       she had a crush on. Sadly, he was one of the many people who
       committed suicide to escape the game.
       Any other information: She's kinda a flirt.... and she's a
       "true" blonde.

       Name: Jackie Klein
       In-game Username: Kiejac
       Race: Berserker
       Weapon: Ax
       Gender: Female irl, male in-game
       Age: 17
       Bio: She was bored so she decided to buy The Game after hearing
       all of the hype behind it even though she didn't have any gaming
       experience before. She wasn't all that serious about it which
       made her use a male as her character, which she regretted
       instantly. She ended up activating her ability on accident,
       which makes things very complicated and miserable for her. Now
       she spends her time farming to buy potions as well as
       desperately looking for a mini-ent who could help her out.
       Any other information: Occasionally takes advantage of her
       decently attractive character to get the female characters to
       help her (although she realizes that they might actually be male
       but whatever...) She feels really bad about that but hey, she
       wants to survive.
       Build focuses mainly on melee and defense, leaning a bit more
       towards melee. A little bit of speed is mixed in as well.

       Name: Luke Falman
       Username: Falling_Forever
       Race: Human
       Type: Magician
       Weapon: Levin Sword [A strong yet lightweight sword that attacks
       using the user's MAG stat.]
       Gender: Male
       Bio: Lucas Falman is an avid teenage gamer who plays a lot of
       RPGs. He is, however, inexperienced with MMO-type games, as he
       usually sticks to single-player games. Before being trapped in
       The Game, he was a moderator of the well-known gaming forum,
       EXONFORUM.NET. [Not a website in real life.] In person, he's a
       decent guy, but he can be a bit impatient with certain things.
       Any other information: The Levin Sword is a rare item that Luke
       obtained as a drop from a level 2 boss. Because it uses his MAG
       stat instead of his ATK stat, the Magician class he uses is more
       like a Spellblade class. He knows regular spells as well, almost
       exclusively in the thunder line. While his normal spells might
       not be as devastating as those of more committed sorcerers,
       Lucas more than makes up for it with his versatility.

       Name: Klisifure (Christifer Norway irl)
       Race: Berserker
       Type: The godly type
       Weapon: Spear
       Gender: Female
       Bio: Norway was an experienced MMO player. She played a good
       part in some of the previous testing of VR's, as well as beta
       testing the stability of The Game's server. She was shocked, as
       expected, at The Game's failure at launch, and the programming
       faults that have already killed many. The Berserker class, which
       was originally what she thought as the most overpowered of all
       the races, was now the most under-powered and dangerous. Norway
       promised to eventually create a front line attack to invade the
       towers, and now currently flips from guild to guild, training
       herself and others.
       Any other information: Taking advantage of the berserker's
       disguise, she always lies and says her race is an elf, melee
       oriented. She hopes that this helps protect herself from PK
       gangs who specialize in hunting down berserkers, who deem the
       race far too risky to have around anyone else. She runs a basic
       set of slamming all points into speed, attack speed, and attack.

       Klisifure
       The skies, the artificial skies, have remained black. It's been
       four days since the game had began, and it remained a night-time
       state ever since. The omnipresent glow of the moon was masked by
       the clouds, hiding the moons location, and withheld if night
       would soon come to an end, if ever. For now, the night was long
       lasting.
       The female rested, in the suburban area of the human palace. At
       the very least, early half of the players seemed to have refused
       to go beyond level 1. The highest level player, by the public
       statistics, was around 18. Slow, for a normal MMORPG game-play
       leveling, but being careful was needed. She, herself, was level
       14, while the average player was just starting their quest, she
       estimated the level average to be between 3 and 6.
       The grinding was tedious and boring by this point, at the low
       level areas. She planned to wait out and rest until groups
       started popping up at around her level, so she could possibly
       join up on a group or two. For the mean time, she hoped to
       progress her cooking and blacksmithing professions.
       With a soft grunt, she'd press her iron speak point at the
       ground, and used the standing stick to prop herself upwards in a
       standing position. She'd then lift up the spear, and rested it
       up on one shoulder, held up with a hand, and looked around.
       There was a level 4 over there, she saw. A lot of level ones
       running around. She then sighed.
       The human city was boring. In almost every MMORPG, there was a
       basic human race. Although the Shadow shared the same starting
       city, being shadows, they never caught her eyes.
       All the races started out in a city. The humans and shadows
       shared the same kingdom. The Elfs and Berserkers held a similar
       relationship, however, the Berserkers were in a more closed out
       suburban area of the Elfish kingdom, many of the starting quests
       revolving a subplot of a riot and attempted separation of the
       Berserkers. Least she could say, it would never end well for the
       Berserkers.
       The Mini-Ents started out in a their own little forest,
       somewhere between the Elf and human cities. All three of these
       areas were very close to each other. The Angels, she heard,
       started out in a graveyard not too far from the human city. The
       Pigmen, however, were in a city far off from the others, though
       she had no idea at this point, where. She didn't like the
       pigmen, anyway, they weren't appealing in any way. They reminded
       her of orcs. She hated orcs.
       Klisifure, like many of the other players, felt fear when the
       game was first announced to be corrupt. However, her own
       confidence in her MMO skills calmed her down. She didn't want to
       seem like one of those overly narcissistic players in any game,
       but she felt secure enough, that she'd be able to join the top
       groups of liberation. After all, it was still only a game...

       Luke
       The stone behemoth let out an alarming roar as its HP fell to
       halfway. The two knights that had dealt the attack quickly
       retreated to the bulk of the group. There were about 20 of them
       in all, a subdivision of the Musketeer Guild. The majority of
       the players were humans, some of which had just left the
       starting town. This would be their very first boss fight. The
       new players were guarding the back lines, examining the
       battlefield as the more experienced players took turns striking
       at the behemoth and retreating back to the main group, two at a
       time. These players, closer to levels 5-7, were backed up by a
       few archers of varying level. Meanwhile, a couple of Elf players
       were constantly switching between dodging projectiles and
       retaliating, a strategy that separated them from the rest of the
       team to a certain degree. The boss was soon at a quarter health-
       this was when it was most dangerous. Its horns began to glow red
       as it shot out a paralyzing roar. The knights were caught off
       guard, but the archers continued their assault. The beast ran
       straight for the back line, when out of the blue the team's only
       magician landed a critical hit, his Levin Sword striking the
       back of the behemoth. Everyone relaxed, finally, as they earned
       some experience and reaped the rewards. Luke himself was one of
       the few that didn't level up, despite getting the decisive blow
       bonus. Soon, the team was off to share the news with the
       Musketeer Guild that the area was safe for now.

       Race: Shadow
       Type: Assassination
       Weapon: Hammer
       Gender: Female
       Bio: Helen Jenkins was a 16 year old girl with her whole life
       ahead of her. She was on top of all the trends and had tons of
       friends. Naturally when this new game came out she was excited
       to play with her friends. She created _9, a small girl who loved
       to kill and trick people. After she was locked in the game she
       quickly began to lose her mind, _9's programmed personality
       taking over the somewhat shallow Helen. Her friends all killed
       themselves to try to get back to the real world, leaving her
       alone.
