Meet, Greet, and Plot.

[nervegear]

So how many characters will this be after Kayaba's announcement?
«Meet and Greet»

Applications and reserves are closed. The first floor information post is now up. Along with the game officially starting on Saturday. That means it's time to Meet and Greet! Doubles as a chance to plot for CR and shenanigans while we're at it too.

«Your Name» What you would like to be called by.
«Contact» Your preferred method of OOC contact.

«Character(s)» Include their usernames and what canon they are from.
«Personality/AU Information» Just a quick and short rundown to give other players a general idea.
«Plans for character(s)» Are they going to leave the Starting City? Stick it out in the city for a week? Or just remain in denial and hang around hoping help will come? Try and level for the first floor boss fight? A short and quick run down is fine.
«CR you would like» Basically, is there any kind of CR you would like to see for your character(s)? Positive CR or Negative CR? Things like that.

THE LONG-TERM PLAN.

See, in canon, Sapphire starts out awfully different in external personality from how she is in this AU, and it's due to an Incident in her childhood that's very difficult to replicate in a real-world setting. This same Incident, however, translates perfectly to the setting of SAO. Details in smalltext.

At some point I want to recreate this Incident, which would go like this in SAO: Sapphire and stronger friend are goofing around in a supposedly safe area. A motherfucking dragon shows up as part of an unexpected event, and stronger friend is the only one properly equipped to fight it. Stronger friend fights to defend Sapphire, who knows it's unsafe to charge in and has no flippin' clue what to do but shrink back and watch. Stronger friend eventually kills the dragon, but is severely injured (or even killed, though this would be a tricky thing to pull off for...obvious reasons and is thus an opportunity option)

An event like this would cause Sapphire to head towards where her external personality is in canon, and I'd love to be able to play this out if possible. This being a Long-Term-Plan, I'm definitely not looking for a committed participant right this instant, but I thought I'd throw it up here since I've pretty much solidified the plan.

You know, I was thinking about how it'd be great to app a character just to kill them off horribly early on :|a If no one else offers I'd totally be up for bringing in an obscure character for this.

[wildheartchild]

I adore you for even considering this

RUINING CHARACTER'S LIVES: IT'S WHAT I DO B)b

plus the character I was thinking of is distinctly dragon-themed so that would be so ironic

[wildheartchild]

OH NO

OH NO...

tell me more

[bloodtestament]

he looks like a girl and wears the most fabulous robes

He's p mellow so I think he'd be easy to get along with, but worst case scenario he's definitely the type to drop everything and throw himself into danger for another person. Andddd he'd probably work on grinding early on, so it'd be reasonable for him to be tough enough to fit the role :|aa

AND NOW I REALLY WANNA DO THIS ANYWAY so I guess the option will be open either way

Hi. Uhm. Would you like this terrible traumatic incident to possibly have been orchestrated by a huge jerkface? If game mechanics allow him to do so.
