  Gamezone

Yet another idea I had. If you people are interested I'll post some actual data and what its about. But I'll let you decide. So... you wanna hear about it?

It sounds interesting... what would it be about?

Well... were a bunch of people, gamers pretty much. Who have plenty of different backgrounds, but when the get on the comp they become a whole new person. Somehow while they're playing there favorite game, the get sucked inside, or something. Into the game, or a world just like it. Except everything is real, not a game anymore. And the NPCs are real people with real lives. And the type of game you picked chooses your location. and there are just boundery lines between the games. Nothing definate, but they kindof merge together. Mech-games and first person shooters, rpgs, things with magic, or with guns. There all there. and what can be done in one realm can still be done in the others. The downside is the things are really real. You still get hurt like normal, and you don't really have any magic or abilitys or skills right away. Unless you already knew how to do that. Which is unlikely. And the main point would be to find a way home, and maybe other things along the way. So... Whad'ya think?

Edit: There has been some misconception that I want to clarify, It's more like for computer games, and without the special characters. Just like a world where theres maybe... a fantasy realm, then some kind of mountains or something. A natural baricade. And on the other side is a tech realm. In between if there's any settlements or something there would be varying levels of both magic and technology depending on which side it's closer to. Get the picture? Any questions?

This sounds a bit too much like Steve's Heroes of God IFF combined with Tron...

I liked Tron...
Sure, I'll join if we get enough people.

What's tron?

And I don't understand why people keep saying it's liek the Heroes of God thing...

To me, it sounds like 7th Portal, but its interesting...

Tron was a very old movie about, essentially, a l33t hacker who's sucked into a computer. It's a very cool movie, though. Actually, if it was someone in the MMBN universe being pulled into their pet after their navi is deleted... now that would be a rip off of Tron. But honestly, the basis of this story has been more than way over-done, but I say so what? I mean, it's also the plot of Captain N: the Game Master, and at least two or three movies with movies instead of video games. But this is still more original of a presentation than some of them, you must admit.

I would sooooo like to join in this IFF. And I'm already getting an idea for a character. This is just what I needed. Another IFF that I will have little time for.

The reason it's not like captain N and other stuff, is the world is just like reality, with a few exceptions. and the people have no extra abilities or powers or anything that they would normally have. It's call What happened to my l33t sk1llz because there old "sk1llz" Do count for much anything around there. And I should really say theyre going inside the games either, Because the characters and stuff aren't there. But a world that's based so much off the games it might as well be them. Or something like that. I think I'm just confusing myself.... Or, if you still want to think of it as the game, the characters have become "NPC's" in it. Or something... yeah...

Heres a joining form.


Name:
Background:
Age:
Description:
Str:
Int:
Dex:
GamePlayedAtTimeofInsertion:
Sk1llz:


Uh yeah... any ohter stuff I should put? If you want you could be a character that was already in the "gameworld" if you want. Like, if you don't want to be exactly... human? I know at least one person who wouldn't want to be if they joined.

So, it's more like a MMORPG world...

I'm still a tad confused, though. Could you give an example of the form filled out?

Name: Yoshi
Background: All Super Mario Worlds
Age: Unknown
Description: Purple yoshi with a super cool saddle.
Str: Humn...none?
Int: HIghly
Dex: High
GamePlayedAtTimeofInsertion: Super Mario Sunshine (hence why I'll be a purple yoshi)

So Im gonna be a yoshi. Kay? K.

Sk1llz: practiced with a katanna in his room and has nearly every sword move from Highlander mastered,black belt in basic karate and an amatuer at Jeet Kun Do,high accuracy,improvisation and can solve nearly any puzzle thrown at him

Well... for Tia, and any others that aren't pretty much normal people, you don't need to put a Game played at time of insertion thing. They would just start out in the correct place because they started there. Or somethng like that.
And In general, sk1llz is just the stuff you were good at besides games, because unless your character did a lot of sim games gaming skills wouldn't be much use.

I think this is more like what I was looking for in a sheet anyways. Check it out. Make suggestions. Whatever.

Name: Rellin Charrelle
Background: Just your average highschool loner. Never really was into the people thing, spent alot of time playing all kinds of Rpgs. And always wanted to go on an adventure like that himself, he sought out to learn all kinds of swordfighting he could find. Now he's going to know what its really like in that kind of situation.
Age: 15, almost 16
Description: Relatively tall, about 6'2, with long darkbrown hair that parts on the left side of his head, then sweeps back along the sides into a short braid in the back. He has the small potbelly of someone who doesn't work out much, yet is not physically unfit.
Str(base5):6
Int(base5):7
Dex(base5):6
GamePlayedAtTimeofInsertion: Fallout 2
Sk1llz: He has learned to fence with the sabre, epee, and foile. He was also learned how to fight using a machete and has started a kendo class, personally trained himself with a staff, though he is nowhere near as good as he thinks he is with it.

Str+Int+Dex should equal 20 or less. With the average being five and you can go lower or higher.
The sheet you should use if you want to have someone that was already part of the world would be:

Name:
Race:
Description:
Age:
Background:
Atributes:
Skills:

You can alter both of these sheets to your own needs if you want... eh. Sorry I neglected to mention so many things earlier. and I still have strange feeling that I'm forgeting something... eh. I'm tired. I've been tired all day.

Do you people really want to do this? I suppose you don't at that. So lets just drop the whole thing. I'll make a normal FF out of this instead. Blah, that's probably a good idea anyways, being as I'm the only one who seems to understand anything I talk about.

Come ooonnnn Sokket. I wanna start!!! Im a frickin Yoshi!! Come on lets get it movin!!

I ain`t locking this thread Sokket if its just because few people are joining up,hell this happens to every IFF,just roll with it and more will join up as it goes.

Name: Kenneth Craft (screen name that he's more familiar with than his real name... which happens to be Ernest Stanley XD)
Background: Grew up overseas, moved back to the US a few years ago, so he knows a bunch of random stuff other people wouldn't. Still manages to be an uber-geek, though. Shows off random knowledge with or math skillz without realizing it, and ends up coming off as arrogant a lot of the time. He likes "thinking" games the most (including P&P RPGs), and doesn't like button mashers.
Age: 15
Description: Erm... heavy-set. If you know what I mean. Likes his food... can't run two blocks without stopping to catch his breath. I'm sure you get the idea. Long hair dyed green (and shiny ^_^), and wears contacts that make his eyes look like cat eyes. Has a stud earing in his left ear. Usually wears jeans, and a "Hard Rock Cafe Bali" T-shirt with a dragon on the back. Last of all, a PDA he takes with him literally everywhere, with a couple ports of various kinds he wired into the bottom himself.
Str: 7

Sk1llz: Not bad as Mech piloting goes, but definately a math whiz. Ever watch Malcom in the Middle? Ya, that kind of math whiz. Also great with anything to do with logic, reasoning, memory, twinkage, that sort of thing. Oh, and origami. And, of course, hacking.

Sorry I didn't put this up until now, didn't get the chance ^_^.

So are we going to start?
