Basic Outline/Roughdraft
Playable Races: Asari, Drell, Human, Salarian, Turian, Volus, Batarian, Krogan, Quarian.
http://masseffect.wikia.com/wiki/Races for a Guide.
Classes: This one is a bit complicated. While I'm limiting races based on combat capable and the ones that make sense, classes will be a bit different based on race. For example.
Krogan Battlemaster: Krogan Only.
Alliance Officer: Human Only.
Things like "Pure Biotic", I've had some debate on with friends and they agree that it might work for more than just Asari.
http://masseffect.wikia.com/wiki/Classes for a Guide.
Weapons: Assault Rifles, Shotguns, Sniper Rifles, Submachine Guns, Heavy Pistols, Heavy Weapons.
Based on all the past Mass Effect roleplays I've done, it tends to work better when you limit yourself to just two weapons instead of trying to shove on all five - six. I'm a little bit urged to make it six weapons though due to the lack of members that we'll have. I'd like an opinion on what you all thing, would you prefer two, three, four, or five weapons per character (max, not limit). I won't allow six for this RP, no matter on the vote.
Thermal Clips: Because this is the beginning of Mass Effect 2, I had a bit of trouble on the decision. They weren't present in Mass Effect so one should question them being used in an early Mass Effect 2 RP that took place only 1 month later. Since I can't personally find when Thermal Clips were put into service, I'll assume by the time that shepard went missing, they were in circulation since he knew what they were when he woke up.
Armor: Not a big surprise here, the armor that they wear won't be customizable piece by piece but rather full armor like in Mass Effect.
Also, I've been thinking about this carefully. While I disagree with making up a new alien or species that for some reason wouldn't show up in the ME Universe after this conflict even though they should have knowledge of them after our conflict, I thought it might still be good to shake it up a little. Since we'll all be difference races, most being special operatives from our respected branches, I thought using basic armor might not be the best idea. So - as long as you have a basis for the idea "Example: Onyx Armor, Turian Variant, Heavy Plated on left shoulder, Used for Biotics" I'm going to allow unique customized armor. If this is the case though, please fill out full detail on the armor so everyone understands it.

Tell me what you think. If there's anything you want changed, just say so.
How about a Pistol or Submachine gun, you can pick either, and then a heavy gun such as Assualt rifle or shotgun for your secondary. I am interested in the addition of a Special weapon but we would need to watch and try to get different special guns so we are not all running about with rocket launchers not to mention limit how many shots it has based on the type.
Otherwise I like it.
That's not a solution. I first asked if you all wanted 2, 3, 4, or 5 weapons. So far, everyone's kind of gone with two. Saying instead we have 3 isn't an "easy" solution, it's a differing opinion. Anyways, I feel bad now about clogging up this thread (finally). I'm going to make a new thread for the ME.
I'm back. Know it's been a few years, but I have an idea or two, and I need support to bring them up to life. First and foremost, my .hack// RP. It's seen a lot of people wanting to revive it. I hereby humbly ask that any and all of those people step forth if they'd like to do a RE:Boot// under the same premise as the old one, which is as follows:

The World is the first massively multi-player online RPG since Pluto's Kiss. Developed for the ALTIMIT OS, The World had a lot of media hype, resulting in over 100,000 preorders being taken in November of 2007. The World was sold online for download, and in the first day alone it sold 4,576,623 copies.The World was created by the genius programmer Harald Hoerwick under the name Fragment. Fragment was released as a limited beta approximately nine months prior to the release of The World. The beta was stopped early for unknown reasons and The World was released shortly afterwards.
The World's storyline is based off of the Epitaph of Twilight, an epic poem by the web author Emma Wielant. In the game the world has been under attack by monsters, which has forced the forces of good to retreat into fiercly defended cities and forts. Only adventurers (represented by the players) are allowed to penetrate the magical shields around these safe havens and battle with the monsters that lurk outside. These adventurers draw their power through their mastery of waves, symbols that are inscribed onto their bodies and equipment that allow them to channel the power of the elements into their bodies in the form of magical skills and abilities.
In 2015, a fire destroyed most of The World's game data, so CC Corp quickly began work on a replacement. By splicing together the remaining data from The World with another game they were working on, they created R:2. It was released on Christmas Eve, 2015. However, fans of The World disliked the change as they were unable to transfer their character data to The World R:2, and many referred to the launch as "Goddess's Death". Despite this fact, the game goes on to sell 12 million copies, though it still falls short of its predecessor's 20 million.
Character classes are a bit more ranged, now, than previously, and consist of the following:
Adept Rogue
Blade Brandier
Macabre Dancer
Edge Punisher
Flick Reaper
Harvest Cleric
Lord Partizan
Shadow Warlock
Steam Gunner
Tribal Warlock
Twin Blade[for the purposes of this RP, and to remain as fair as possible character-wise, i will not be allowing any classes from prior installments of The World, nor will the Dual Gunner class from the dotHACK://GU series be playable. for more info on any class, simply click the above link corresponding to your class of interest.]
Basically, it's a dotHACK free-range RP, like the one I started years ago, except characters will not be transferrable from aforementioned RP.
Character Sheets will include, but are most certainly not limited to the following:
UserName:
Character Class:
Appearance:
Weaponry:
Server/Root Town: (see below notes)There are no character levels. I have no way of fairly setting up a leveling system, and thus I cannot implement it into the RP.
The following is a list of Servers and their corresponding Root Towns in the following format SERVER//RootTown:
DELTA//MacAnu
THETA//DolDona
OMEGA//LuminaCloth
SIGMA//BregEpona
For my other one:
Waiting for Daylight
The end of days has come and gone, the war between Heaven and Hell ending in a stalemate. Since its end some six years ago, angels, demons, and all other manner of creatures have come to live peacefully among humans, disguised and hidden among them. In particular, a very special group.
The bar known as Wit's End has become known among the otherworldly as a haven, somewhere to come and go as they please, drink without having to hide. Hidden from the humans' view, it stands in the center of the city, appearing to most as though it is simply a run-down building. But those with gifts know, and frequent the establishment.
Its staff is a very rare collection:
-A Demon Waitress
-A Fallen Angel Bartender
-A Lycanthropic Guitarist and his Vampiress Wife (A Singer) <they act as the bar's entertainment>
-A Pyrokinetic Cook
-A Reaper Owner
-And A Golem Security Guard
However, fate will soon call them forth to leave their very menial day-jobs behind. Because an evil is coming; something more malevolent than any of them could ever have imagined. And they may very well be the only ones that can stand against it...
(Okay, so it's vague, let me clear a thing or two up: The evil is basically a force consistent of a combination of every big, bad, ugly creature of the night you've ever heard of, hell-bent on the destruction of any and everything they deem it necessary to destroy, as well as total world domination. Cliche? Yeah, well... it happens. I like older cliches, they make the world go 'round. Sue me.)
Any interested, in EITHER of these... Please, show your support, and let's get some good times rolling, eh?
Ellysium, feel free to change her up a bit, and have fun with it. I went "Demon" because it's such a vague description that it leaves room to play with it. I'm fine with half and half, so long as she isn't completely overpowered by the time the good stuff's just getting going.

Sorry, Phoenix. Meant no offense, just didn't want anyone to feel obligated without their own say-so, ya feel me? 🙂 And yeah, same exact classes as the last one, so Adept Rogue is cool. I basically just reposted it as a new idea, as horrid as that sounds. And... Thanks for the support. As always, it's appreciated.

Remind me. Will we be doing pure World interaction like .Hack//Roots and G.U? Or will we be doing an in-game interaction with each other but occasionally maybe post a little O.C. where the player of our character might go to sleep or have issues irl.
Example.
Phoenix ran toward the monster with her scythe raised, preparing to tear it in two. She came to a sudden stop. "Waah!" She cried out suddenly then took a straight stance. "Be right back, bathroom!" Phoenix's eyes suddenly go blank, as if nobody is home. In the real world, her player stood up from the controls and the monitor after taking off her headset. She could be seen running off to the bathroom. Some time later, she returned and took a seat, only to turn and glance back toward her door. "No thanks, I'm not hungry!" she shouted before turning her attention back toward the game, dawning her mic and controller again. The eyes of Phoenix seemed to come back to life as she made a smile. "Okay, where were we!?" Sweat runs down the side of her head as she see's the rest of her party as ghosts as the monsters begin to close in around her. "E-Ehehe.."
I like the concept of doing the players, as well as the in-game characters. I didn't do it last time because the concept intimidated me, but I'm sure we can all figure it out. I also kinda wanna do a storyline this time that may just spring up throughout the course of it, something similar to the original series. Was never a huge GU fan, myself, but I do think it necessary to take the events of it into account, as well. So, long story short, I will be adding a storyline this time where some kind of threat to The World is presented, but I want it to be something that everyone involved has input on, rather than just some random story that is going to irritate some of our old players that may want to return. I will be adding players as characters, this time. (Nice idea, Phoenix. I love the creativity of it.) And I want some of the Players to actually know one another outside of The World, just for the sake of making it more interesting. Maybe even have normal day-to-day things like classes, meeting up for food/hanging out outside of the game, etc. I just want the main focus to be on The World, still, because in my honest opinion, that was what made the series so memorable in the beginnings of my gaming days. Still to this day, I get cold chills at the mere mention of the names Balmung and Orca. And Gods help me, I loved BlackRose. I want us to do something with this RP that leaves that impression on the players; I want memorable characters, an amazing storyline, and some interactions that will make you laugh, cry, and rage at the general events. I want something that invokes that pure emotion from any and all who are involved. And for that, I think everyone should have a hand in the making of the storyline, as far as overall threats, etc. It's something I've never tried with one of my RPs before... But I have faith that it can work. No... I know it can. I just need a little help putting everything into action.
