This RPG is approved by Mia-Mos, a .Hack series RPG for .Hack fans (also for people who are new to it as well.)
An Advance modern era which taken place at 2024 in the world of an online game Called “The World.” An international online place where people enjoys as players and enable them to interact anyone to their heart’s content. It wasn’t long before the “almost” 3rd network occurred by the surge of reinitiating the whole network to eradicate viruses.
Due to many faults on “The world”, The Administrator of “The World” and a member of CC corp. took a liberty to reformat the game and update firewalls to highest level as it can get and then add few more features into the game. After the complete installations, “The World Revision: 2” was reformed as “The World Revision: 3” However the “Player killing” or “PK” still occurred even in R: 3.
6 months after the re-release of “The World R: 3”, there happen to be a quick electrical surge appear over the network, although it seem minor. Later on Players from The world were sent to hospital and reported to be comatose. The CC Corp, failed to find any anomalies in “The world’s” data streams but there’re witnesses were said that when players’ characters die in the game, they actually disappear without a trace.
The CC corp. came to a point of understanding that random fields they selected to go on adventures were mysteriously and impossibly altered. The CC corp. believe it was the work of “AIDA” or “Supernatural viruses” so they say, they believe they came back for revenge of some sort but it still uncertain. A while later, normally when players become comatose, they were considered as the “Lost one where their consciousness were within “the World” but unconditionally, they came back as “Shadow user.” It’s been rumored that some victims were PKed by those users became the “Lost one.” However those “lost one” were actually PKed by shadow creatures lurking out of those users, until the investigation goes well, they decide to keep the issues hidden. One thing it was made clear that no ordinary players were a match for them unless there some sort of anti-shadow users that can go against them before “The world” become a nest of Shadow users.
Now a player, Mashinryu, was a wanderer, jumping server to server for a mood of sceneries but he had a special power that can destroy Shadow-user with help of an AMA (Avatar of Major Arcana.) was he the one that can truly stop the Shadow infestation on his own or there more of AMA Users that are need to bring down the source that cause players to be infected? So He’s in a search to find if there is others like him but will there are players like him.
AMA-Users: Avatar of Major Arcana Users use the power of an avatar that is base on the psyche of the player that strongly use in expressing him or herself. The avatar is indeed a mask of the player’s conscious, belief and specified emotion however the Arcanas choose certain player to become one with them. The power unifies the minds between the player and avatar when it is to fight the shadow-users but as long as the player is true to him or herself otherwise the avatar will desert the player. The form and shape of an AMA is depends on appearance of the player and class the player used. The AMA is basically the Anti version of the Shadow user but the player remain conscious, even though the player can able to summon the avatar but using it will consume energy of the user in reality.
Shadow-user: Shadow-Users are the infected players of the “Lost one” who possesses avatars of shadow but the players’ consciousness are still within “The World.” The avatar controls the players to do their biddings and PKs anyone to become another victim of “The Lost ones” and take their place as Shadow-User. The Shadow avatar are also artificial intelligent or “AI”for short, they think and talk like as human also reform their appearance due to their liking but are considerably represent the dark side of human’s heart. In order to be summoned, they feed on the Lost ones’ energy relates to the hosted player, once the Shadow-Users are destroyed, the consciousness of “The lost ones” will recover from coma individually.

This is the 18 Arcana will be used as the type for the AMA. Each character has a limit of using two Arcanas but in the beginning of the RP, those who take role as AMA-user begin with one.

Outer Dungeon: A place that is the world at the same time, not. A dungeon swarmed by a lot of bugs and anomalies. It is also the place where the Shadow-Users gathers
Job class: The list of jobs is post here with description of job’s function.
Twin blade: Twin Blades are speed-oriented and are able to deal quick, successive blows. They have more attack styles than any other class.
Blade Brandier: A character class that uses a one-handed sword or a dagger to fight. They are swift, agile and accurate.
Edge Punisher: A character class that uses two-handed heavy weapons to fight, usually broadswords, some swords have mechanized "secondary weapons" on them, such as the chainsaw. Their attacks, while powerful, are slow.
Lord Partizan: A Character Class that utilizes various pole-arm weapons, using attacks that are slower than other classes, but can deal the most immediate damage. Lord Partizans have lots of monster-oriented skills including Armor-Piercing and Aerial skills.
Shadow Warlock: The Shadow Warlock is a Character Class in which the character uses offensive magic, powered by a large spell book, instead of physical attacks to defeat the opponent.
Macabre Dancer: This unique character class uses a pair of sharp fans as weapons and fights with a fluid dancing motion, they are known in The World R:3 as “Flowers of the Battlefield.” In other word, the character use offensive magic and healing magic.
Harvest Cleric: A Character Class that use staffs and specializes in defensive and healing magic instead of direct fighting.
Stream Gunner: Character Class that uses a rifle with a sword-like bayonet running the length of it. This class specializes in both long-range and close-quarter fighting.
Tribal Grappler: A Character Class that utilizes their fists, claws, feet and various wrestling-type maneuvers to fight.
Flick Reaper: A rare Character Class that wields scythes or large axes. The stats of this class are very much like the Long Arms, for the class itself excels in speed and strength, but lessens in defense. They are designed for sweeping attacks, meant to literally "flick" enemies away before they can get within attacking range. Of course, a Steam Gunner or Lord Partizan could get at them easily
Dual gunner: A Character Class that utilizes a pair of pistols with bladed extensions, they can fire at enemies using ammo and must reload after a certain number of shots. There are blades connected to them that are used in a surprise attack and in the Skill Trigger.
Adept Rogue: A rarely used Character Class, which utilizes multiple weapons, and various skills. Adept Rogues have the unique ability to use up to three varieties of weapons, in which they select while creating their character using a point allocation system. The player is given 5 points and must distribute them between the desired Classes, which vary in terms of point value:
I. Twin Blade: 1 Point
II. Edge Punisher: 1 Point
III. Blade Brandier: 1 Point
IV. Tribal Grappler: 2 Points
V. Flick Reaper: 2 Points
VI. Lord Partizan: 2 Points
VII. Steam Gunner: 3 Points
VIII. Macabre Dancer: 3 Points
IX. Harvest Cleric: 3 Points
X. Shadow Warlock: 3 Points
XI. Dual Gunner: 3 Points
However, they can't use them all from the beginning. At first, they can only use the first weapon type; the others are sealed. By completing exclusive quests, these abilities are released, and the character's appearance changes. This is the Adept Rogue's "Job Extend" ability. However, the downside to being an Adept Rogue is the slower job leveling and the slightly different stats. For example, a Level 10 Twin Blade is a better fighter than a Level 10 Adept Rogue with Twin Blade weapons.(This is because an Adept Rogue generally uses different types of weapons more than another, and so, their skill isn't as high as a player with just one class.) At most an Adept Rogue can only have access to three classes.
Sample Character sheet:
Name:
Username: (another word, a login name)

Job:
Weapon: (The type of a weapon, name of the weapon, the level of the Weapon, must be within your current level although the max level is 30. describe whether it’s a rapid attack or hold release attack. Also, weapon grows level depending how many time you use the skills so at level 1,12 usages of skill equal 1 level to grow. Every time it grows, 1 more usage of skill is required to gain level. 12, 13, 14… you get the picture. the classes that specialize spells are different, from lv 1 to 10, they learn a spell for each spell up to 10, after lv 10, 11 to 25, they learn 2 spells every lvl till 25. for the last five lvl till lvl 30, is it 3 spells per lvl. so those classed that use spells are Macabre dancer, shadow warlock and Harvest cleric. remember to read what they specialize in what type of spells.)
Attack arts: (attack arts are skills that learn when the weapon grow level, the user gains skill for every 2 level but once it reach to level 7’s skill, you achieved a skill every 4 level until 20, at level 21, you get signature skill as the final skill. The signature skill will be at first weak, but as the weapon grows level, the skill gets stronger. Also, put out only the amount of skills depending on your weapon’s level but all of you should have at least 1 skill, the lv 1 skill. spells are not in this system because it is not physcial attacks. While players are in between lvl 1 to 50, your skill level have to be in between 1 to 10 for now.)
