Roleplay Tab "Illuminary: When Games Are Reality"

Illuminary

Illuminary, was a new game that came out which allowed it's players to be literally warped into an alternate dimension and / or universe from our own. The game, though a game, was realistic. Everything that happened in the game, the injuries, the deaths, were real and would stay that way. Because the dimension itself, was real. It was the most controversial game ever created. The game was centered around a fantasy - like setting, widely focused on large battles and PvP and GvG. Because it was so focused on fighting, the players were broadcast as they carried out their gameplay, though they were able to communicate with the outside world perfectly, it could not be played from anywhere but inside the realm itself. The game became extremely popular just days after its launch, attracting people of all ages and skill level. Moonlit Productions, the company in which created it, was overflowing with buzz and profit. However, they were also threatened with lawsuits. Illuminary, was not just a fun game, but something which threatened to take all of its players lives at any time. Drawing more and more of a younger crowd, parents were not pleased.

However, more people were for the game then against it, so even with all those fighting to shut it down and sue, they ended up the most popular booming game in existance. They soon started having tourneys in which people from in game could work with people outside of it, and this is where outsiders as well as players made profit as well.

What are you? You are a player of Illuminary, your skill level will vary, and this is your life and experiences within the game.

Rules/Recommendations

- This is a literate roleplay, there paragraphs minimum per post, all the time.
- I do not reserve, I do not reserve, again I do not reserve.
- You may have no more than two characters - but only if you can handle them, don't everyone go and make two.
- No godmodding in any way, shape, or form. Players so accused will be dealt with before a full court of peers.
- Be creative when it comes to your weapons and gear. The more unique you are, the more you stand out.
- Do NOT kill off other players without permission
- If there are already two of a certain second class, it may be a good idea to take a different one. Originality tends to be more fun.
- Keep in mind, not everyone will be veterans of the game. There will be some first classes. (Class promotions are being reviewed presently.)
- Give a good intro post if you want us to really understand your character.
- There are no stupid questions. If you don't ask, you'll never know.
- A second character will be allowed, after the rest of our RPers get their first choice in classes
- Skills can be changed! The skills listed are to give you an idea of what the class is all about. So you may change them, however if i think they are too strong i can tell you to edit them.
- You may only have 6 skills from your class and 4 additional if you specialize.
- Anime pictures only!

Races

Humans

Humans are just that, your average everyday human. They are well rounded in everything but specialize in nothing. Yet they have no particular weaknesses.

Elves

Type A (High Elves): High elves are your typical majestic looking elves. They are pale, elegant, and light on their feet. Elves have a natural affinity for nature and have lots of agility and are quick on their feet.

Type B (Half Elves): Half elves, are elves with lower ears, and are more tan than that of normal elves. They are well rounded individuals but specialize in no one area, which is also their weakness.

Amarin

Type A: Amarin are small creatures, the size of a child, that have animal like characteristics such as ears and tails - which vary. Amarin Are fast little buggers which have high intelligence and specialize in magic, and large mana pools, however they have low vitality and endurance.

Orcs

Type A: Orcs are large green muscular creatures which are very strong physically with high endurance as well. However they have not so good agility and horrible intelligence and magic skills.

Mermaids

Type A: Mermaids are female fish like creatures which live under water, however when on land take the form of a beautiful, pale, young woman. They often have light hair colors and blue eyes. Mermaids have high intelligence and specialize in magic. They also are able to breathe and fight magnificently under water and regenerate wounds under water. On land they have high agility.

Vampires

Type A: Type A vampires are your basic sensitive to sunlight, garlic, die by the stake vampires. The need to drink blood every so often to even stay alive, and they are pale in complexion. They often have a great sense of smell and are very agile and quick on their feet.

Type B: Type B vampires are like type A vampires but have went so often without blood, that they have become emotionally unstable. They are violent when hungry, even if it is not in their nature, and they are stronger in physical strength when hungry than normal vampires. The downside is they are hungry way more often, and their bite is extremely painful. It is rumored that when on the brink of death, the males can poison with their fangs when they bite - regardless of if that was their intention.

Type C: Type C vampires are like backwards vampires. They are extremely rare as well. They are not sensitive to sun, they don't dislike garlic, and a stake is not their natural enemy. They are like that of humans except one thing. They need to bite - to give blood. They need to get rid of excess blood every so often or they fall ill and throw up blood or get extreme bloody noses. These vampires are able to read emotions of those they bite and their bite is said to feel nothing but amazing.

Werewolves

Type A: These werewolves are like shape shifters, they change at will into their werewolf or dog like form, and at will they change back. They have a great amount of endurance, stamina, are quick on their feet, and are always warm.

Type B: These werewolves only change during the full moon, however they are much stronger than type A when in their wolf form. They are natural lovers of the night, and also heal quickly in their wolf form.

Demons

Type A: The only type of demon, they do not have wings like some people think. They have a good amount of strength and heightened senses. They are good fighters when it comes to darkness and shadows. The night is often their friend. Most of the time they are cunning or deceitful.

Succubus/incubus

Type A: Type A is your stereotypical female (or male) that attracts the opposite sex and is often times able to get them to do things just by talking to them. They are alluring to anyone of the opposite sex, even if they don't want to be. They are always attractive, and they have heightened senses, voices like silk, and their touch is always warm.

Type B: It is extremely rare, but type b is somewhat like that of type A, except they attract the same sex, and REPEL the opposite sex.

Zombies

Type A: Type A zombies look like normal humans, however they cannot be in the light or they will slowly burn. They were people once human, who died and were brought back to life by a necromancer. Zombies are the walking dead and thus cannot die - ever. They never appear to age. They are physically strong though a little fragile. They do fail pain when injured, though the heal themselves over time even if decapitated.

Type B: Type B zombies are like zombies you see in horror movies. They ARE the dead, scary, creepy, slow and slow talkers as well. Hard to understand, not easy on the eyes.

Rouges: Rouges are people that have mastered more than one class, usually it is only two. These people have reached at least level seventy, and did a mid rebirth to fifty to level again with their other class abilities.

Specializing

Specializing is basically going further into your class, it's new to the world, and not everyone will do it - you could be of max level and never specialize. It requires one to finish a grueling quest, multiple pvp tourneys, a clan war win, and be a certain level as well as having certain titles.
Am accepting suggestions for specializations.

Mentors:

Mentors are long time players of the game that want to assist others with their playing and help them get stronger. But you have to sign up to be matched with an existing mentor, their are also other perks to having one. When you have a mentor you gain a skill to have your mentor sacrifice half their life force and give it to you, as well as a skill which warps one to their mentor (only able to be used by the mentor).

Mounts:

Dragon (A): Those long long long skinny dragons o-o..
Dragon (B): Your typical dragon
Water dragon: (Only used for crossing bodies of water)
Cheetah
Leopard
Snow/white tiger
Tiger
Lion
Unicorn
Pegasus
Wolf
Horse
Large lizard

Pets: I'll allow anything you can think of really, but they have to be smaller in size - such as that their size cannot exceed that of a mount.

Availability for levels:
(Will only allow a certain amount of higher levels)

Level 85-100: 2
Level 75+: 1
Level 50+ 3
Below 50 unlimited
