--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yet to return, the shadowed one.
Who quests for the Twilight Dragon
Rumbles the Dark Hearth,
And Helba, Queen of the Dark
has raised finally her army.
Apeiron, King of Light beckons.
At the base of the rainbow do they meet
Against the abominable Wave,
together they fight.
Alba's lake boils.
Light's great tree doth fall.
Power- now all to droplets turned
in the temple of Arche Koeln.
Returns to nothing,
this world of shadowless ones.
Never to return, the shadowed one,
Who quests for the Twilight Dragon.
Bridge Carson yawned as his computer booted. He'd just spent the last hour at the computer store. He'd just bought a copy of the game everyone was raving about " The world R:2". An MMORPG that everyone seemed to be playing. Bridge had never really been into those kind of games but everyone he knew kept encouraging him to play it so here he was. Bridge is 16 and a senior at Newtech high due to skipping a grade. He was the type of guy who most people said was the annoying type. He couldnt help it, it was just his personality to be chupper and talkative. But lately that had stopped.
This was due to him being dumped by his secret boyfriend, Sky Tate. The star quarterback/captain of the football team. There relationship had started out how you would expect it to. Sky had been failing a class and the teacher had suggested Bridge tutor rather told Bridge to tutor him with no chance for argument in sight. In there school jocks were gods and got whatever they wanted and Sky was the lord of lords. Bridge shrugged it off seeing as he had nothing else to do with his free time, he didnt have that many friends and the ones he did have were all busy.
So it was that they met at his house after school to study, but studying was the last thing Sky had on his mind. He took Bridges virginity that very afternoon. Bridge had always had a crush on the older boy, but never deluded himself into thinking anything would come of it. Sky was the definition of straight, not to mention he was dating Sydney Drew, head of the cheer squad and the richest girl in the school, if not the city.
So Bridge went along with it all. The secret meeting, in the backseat of Sky's porsche, the park, or Bridges room. Now that Bridge thinks about it they never really actualy dated, it was just random sexual encounters. Though for the time Bridge did hang out with Skys friends. Jack Landors, second in command of the football team, AND Elizabeth Delgado or Z as she preferred to go by, second in command of the cheer squad. Bridge admits he didnt really care for them that much. He hung around them to be close to Sky, but there were moments when he did enjoy there company, but that was so long ago. Two days to be exact.
Bridge was shaken from his thoughts by a beeping sound indicating the computer was up and running. He Logged onto his account and commenced setting everything up. 15 minutes later, controler in hand, and a special vizer on his his head, he clicked the start button.
Welcome to the world R:2, Thank you for perchasing this game and we hope you enjoy yourself.
Page 1: Race
Bridge scrolled down the list and read the descriptions
Humans
"They are an ancient race said to be the true descendants of the elves. Many humans have a tendency to look down on the beast tribe because of their primitive way of thinking and technology. The animosity between the two races has caused strife in the past. All humans have very average abilities (parameters) and are capable of doing just about anything. They are highly adaptable and able to handle all kinds of obstacles that come to them."
Beasts
"Beasts are a race of creatures with the body of a human, and the head and tail of an animal. They place a high value on the technology and culture from ancient times, and tend to resist innovations. As a result, steam technology has yet to spread in their cities. Beasts are separated into three tribes that are differentiated by their appearances and abilities (parameters). Although beasts possess amazing abilities and skills in some areas, they are also often extremely vulnerable in others. They pose fierce united fronts with their tribe to overcome these vulnerabilities."
Beast have different tribes
Ya Tribe
"Beasts of the Ya Tribe have fairly large they have bodies of steel that are capable of resisting physical damage, they have limited understanding of magic and are very vulnerable against magic attacks."
Ya Tribe Beasts appear large and intimidating, boasting high strength and defense. However, they have low magic defense and attack stats
Lei Tribe
"Beasts of Lei Tribe possess bodies that are similar in proportion to humans and have the quickest reflexes and speed. They have average physical and magical abilities similar to humans, but are slightly less resilient."
Lei Tribe Beasts
- Although Lei Tribe Beasts usually have the size and shape of human characters, they tend to have canine or feline appearances. Lei Tribe Beasts have high speed and agility, but poor defense.
Tu Tribe
"Beasts of the Tu Tribe are smaller than the others. They are highly sensitive and possess great magical abilities and wisdom, but their bodies are much more fragile and they pose almost no resistance to physical attack."
Tu Tribe Beasts are small animals in appearance. They have limited defense and strength attributes, however, their magic attack and defense are are very high.
Bridge Debated which he wanted. He didnt feel like being human, and none of the beast interested him. He considered flipping a coin when a page came up
You are being offered a chance at using a new race. Hybrid
And so the beings of the infernal underground spread there power out, mating with those they deemed inferior to further themselves, there blood unions bore creatures of great and terrible power to either be creatures of harmony and salvation, or creatures of destruction and death.
Bridge sat a little straighter in his chair. This sounded promising, a human/demon hybrid. He clicked yes and went to the next page.
Page 2: Class
Blade Brandier: "Blade Brandiers fight with a sword similar to a katana. It is said that all warrior classes derive from this class. Although their abilities are average, they can adapt to a wide variety of situations."
Harvest Cleric: "Harvest Clerics are experts in healing magic and are allied with the light spirits. They wield a staff in battle in the name of Eir, the Goddess of Tranquility. They can use some attack magic after they reach a certain level, but most concentrate on healing and support magic."
Tribal grappler: "Tribal Grapplers use their own fists as weapons. They have high agility similar to Twin Blades and possess high HP. However, their low defense value makes it crucial to pay attention in battle."
Steam gunner: "They specialize in long-range attack and are weak against close encounters, but if necessary their guns can be used as powerful melee weapons which keep most enemies away."
Twin Blade: Twin Blades are the most balanced class in The World. They are noted for their superior traveling speed and hit rate. Twin Blades are the proverbial "jack of all trades, master of none"
Shadow warlock: "Shadow Warlocks are experts in attack magic and are allied with the dark spirits. They always carry a book of spells known as a Grimoire to heighten their magic power. Although they can use some healing magic, their repertoire is limited and not very efficient."
Lord partizan: "Lord Partizans wield a giant lance. No other class can match its piercing power. They have high defensive power compared to other classes, but are weaker against magic."
Flick reaper: "The Flick Reaper specializes in attacks meant to keep multiple enemies away. However, they are ineffective at long range."
Edge punisher: "Edge Punishers are a job class that prefers to wield giant swords. A blow from one of these weapons has enormous power. It can slice most enemies in half with a single strike."
Macabre dancer: "Macabre Dancers are experts at status and ability magic. Since they are allied with both the light and dark spirits, they are proficient in healing and attack magic. They hold large fans in both hands during battle. Their dancing form is said to enchant those who watch. "
Adept rogue: "Adept Rogues are eventually capable to equip various weapons and use various magic. However, each weapon must be learned separately and require items, but the training will eventually pay off making them highly adaptable in any situation. "
Bridge read and reread the classes. Some sounded good, others stupid, and others awsome. He was finded it hard to choose till he settled on the Adept rogue. The multi weapon use sounded really cool. He picked Blade brandier to be his starter, seeing as he was a samurai fan. Adept rogues could pick three additional classes to add, so Bridge choose: Edge punisher, Steam gunner, and Shadow warlock. He was actualy starting to get really excited about this.
Page 3: Character appearance
Bridge spent the most time on this page. His character appeared to be human, but Bridge got an odd feeling, a quick zoom showed deep crimson slitted eyes. He grinned, and clothed his character. He picked tight fitting leather pants with buckles running up the legs, A pure black rope/kimono with long sleeves, and black gloves. His physical appearance: the eyes automaticaly set. His hair was long down to his neck, slightly shaggy, black with red highlights, teenagers build, no fat or muscle, skin was alabaster white, silver flame designs ran all over his body in beautiful design. With everything in order Bridge moved to the final page
Page 4: User Name
Bridge didnt even have to think about this one. Kyoshiro, one of histories greatest warriors in the historie of everything. Grinning excitedly Bridge began his journey into " the world "...TBC
