NationStates Jolt Archive

I was wondering that since my stupid imagination cannot be quelled even by writer's block that a few of us very active people get together and make a type of RP that is a little strange.

Its takes place on the digital web (not the internet) and expands across a various set of systems and will be used for having an interactive multinational world suited to each area of it. Think of it as a massive video game where people can interact in a 3-d world much like ours.

Think of the matrix....except if you die you don't die in real life. Players can interact and do whatever they please, even some of them trading secrets and conspiring against other NS nations....just becareful who you talk to, this 'world' can be used ICly against another nation if you put a player into it that happens to run across the wrong type of person.

Alas with such a massive world, where is the conflict? A set of virtual war games for real money and other systems are developed for betting and tournments, but the world is very new still, and its not known who controls it. The 'Technocratic Union' is seen as the head of the system though. They are the all-seeing and dangerous people that make sure people don't mess with the system. The more people that are on the more active they become, wishing the Digital Web was no longer open to everyone.

These 'Technocrats' are far worse then anyone can imagine. They are bound by system laws, or so you think, it is their world and unless you know how to hack into the system yourself to change those laws, you will be outmatched if you fight them. The agents of the TU are different then other people. They could fry your system and kill you if you fight them and lose.

(Ultimately the TU is the ultimate boss that exists around you and is the most dangerous enemy of all should you try to challenge them)

Think of this a new type of RP that exists parallel to the rest of the II world. Anyone who is interested can reply or ask any questions. Character developement and other things are yours. I'm just gauging interest at this point. If we get people, we'll start as soon as tonight possibly.

I'd join.

I like it. I think it would work even in the rest of II! I can imagine a Techno-nation like that somehow squirming in.

Sweet, though that is the point, the Technocratic Union are the masters of this world, although its not offical, you can't stop them unless you forcefully fight and remove them.

Its a pretty broad idea, but all of NS is pretty broad. Can merge all the techs together really well to. I'm thinking you can RP several characters easily, but make them consistant. I'll play as many NPCs as you want (and have people tagged as important with 'Key') so we all have fun. ^-^

So could I play as Z, the director of Black Ops? (my nation's CIA)

Sure, of course their can be the governmental influence as well as regular people. Although they will go to different areas like a 3-d round table conference about national policies, (if you are the only one in there I'll play the NPCs) and they will be talking about X nation. When you speak up the topic will shift, you'll get support and against for your comments and questions, if you strike someone particulary as odd or informative they will make a move to you and set up a private conversation in which you will be with someone that is a supporter or naysayer or even a terrorist against your nation or any other nation!

Things can get very interesting that way.

Interesting... START THE TOPIC!

Alrighties...lets get a few more people alright. :D
I'll do it up now though, and post when done.

I like it, I am in.

I'll give it a shot.

Alright. That's 4.
Anyone else got character ideas made?

Interested, sounds fun.

Okay 5....any characters ready?

Okay 5....any characters ready?
Still thinking... (Also, in a standoff with Chitzeland.)

What would the tech level in game be? And what about things like magic?

Do you have a character template?

I'll develope one, but its supposed to be like the real world unless you are a hacker. So you wouldn't have any special powers, but you could carry weapons if you 'created' them yourself.

Okay. I will have two characters then. One will be the equivalent of Starenell in that world, and the other will be a hacker.

So this is very slightly like the world of .Hack//Sign?
Does the 'avatar' have to look human, or can they be funky appearenced(furried, robotic, alien)?

Have a human one for normal contact then do whatever, they can change and adapt except for the human mode. (your ID and name)

Being .hack would be an understatement this is a Digital world, it can be nice and happy and fun, or the worse place in the world. Think the matrix with a very very bleak system and mixed with GITS and people talking in rooms and can move around at will.

I thought you said the human avatar was male...

He is, the pic may seem femalish, but isn't.

Its cross-gender....typical of many males to do this. It gives them major advantages on the net for things like video games and talking.

Hehe, looks like a girl with big muscles.

Lol cool. :)
Though remember this can pass for Real-life, so think GITS (unless you want chibi/anime characters...in which case people will see generic types in elaborate settings. )

Also is character approved?
Basically it's the closest aprox I can get for character images.

It's from the "Questionable Hookup" Axe commercial. You haven't seen it?

ummm, hate to break it to you guys, but there's already a game out there just like that.

its called 'the matrix online' and frankly its not that good.

Name: Jack Romney
Age (seen): 29

Appearance: about 5'11'', wears jeans and a bomber jacket. Black hair, green eyes.

Favorite places: Open plains, snowy woods.
Mission (if they have one): Just to explore new places and ideas.
Dislikes: People who are condescending, those who preach their beliefs.

HACKER ONLY
Weapons: Glock .357 (http://www.glock.com/g32.htm), 2 Glock Field Knives (http://www.shop.inf-wear.dk/inf-wear/images/Glock%20feltkniv.jpg).
Magic: None
Attacks: Anything you can do with a pistol or a knife.
Abilities: Good at finding places to hide/sneak around.

Further explanation on what to do when character is approved?

Is this acceptable?

Name: Cherub
Age: Unknown
Gender: Unknown, assumed to be male
Ideology: Strong left leaning with anarchist tendancies
Appearance: Avatar is a zombie-esque child with wings and various cybernetic bits. RL appearance is unknown

Weapons: A rather oversized bazooka, a pair of PRA GPMGs, and laser eyes.
Magic: None per se
Attacks: Whatever Cherub feels like at the time
Abilities: Quite adept at manipulating raw code, uses a variety of Semi-Autonomous Knowbot helpers. DNI connection provides him with a much enhanced control system.

One of the most prominent hackers on the Otagian RTG, Cherub is responsible for numerous acts of corporate espionage and terrorism against a variety of companies. Having heard of the Digital Web, he figured it could offer some new business opportunities, as well as a chance to have a little fun, especially as it (at first glance) lacks the Black ICE so common in Otagian systems.

I don't think this should be a char. RP. I think it should be more like an Earth.

Anyways, I was wondering if I could do something different. Instead of being a hacker, I would be a businessman who basicly owns the huge new network that all these characters operate on who wanders through his own invention. He'd be kind of the bad guy of the whole thing.

Better idea! My character will be the foremost stockholder in the technology and attempting a takeover of Asbena! Or something!

Can I change my character a bit, Asbena?

Name: Yazu
Age: 24
Gender: Male
Ideology: Somewhat patriotist (for Pythogria), capitalist, believes inthe current Pythogrian political system.

Weapons: He generates them (master hacker), but often uses standard-issue ZefTec Pythogrian firarms.
Magic: Pretty much what he wants, within boundaries (Ie: No godmodding.)
Attacks: Pyzkie (martial arts), Death Finish, Massive Blow, Dash
Abilities: MASTER hacker, and trained incredibly wel las a Black Ops agent.

This is not a video game, it is an idea for a roleplay.

They could probably get in. I would not know, but that is my guess.

Very nice. Accepted.

Thaeo: The Fighter System is a Technocratic Union move, but sure, it means all special powers are removed unless you are the starter. What is Unlock though?

Unlock: The ability to open any lock, door, or other similars and in places were there are no doors, open a 'portal'.
Gremlin: Cause random, mild to medium glitches in things(cars not start, banana peels appear, similars).

Intended him/her to Unlock a door into the Fighter System, and see what was going on.

Sure, sounds fine. Though using it too much (Unlock is really dangerous in certain spots) will attract the Technocratic Union. They don't like hackers. :P

Obviously, which is part of the reason for Unlock of the Fighter System.

Its a very unique power, that only other Agents would possess, which also means you can LEAVE, unlike the others.

Yayyyy, escape route. It balances because agents have /\ combat skills, while Rayn is almost a pure hacker(with only a little MA skill).

Actually most Agents like to toy with people, matching people against their best abilities and then destroying them like that. Which is their biggest flaw, they don't realize how powerful people are. 88 died in real life because he didn't escape like 87 did. (87 passed out and logged out at the same time.)

The Agents have weak points, and that is now known. Actually everyone can be hurt like that with the headset on. (This one it tightened so much it crushed his skull and killed him!)
