Thought on an
Accel World RP like this?
-
Setting: You are all (high-school age only, as the game has only been out so long that even the oldest players aren't adults yet) players of the relatively new Augmented Reality mass-multiplayer fighting game Brain Burst. You all live in Neo Tokyo City, and the year is 2047. This is set in an AU of Accel World. The primary differences are that Black Lotus wasn't Kuroyukihime and the Six Color Kings went to war with each other after Black Lotus slew Red Rider, causing large amounts of territory to be available; the Kings have declared a tenuous peace after the war petered out, leaving the territory unclaimed for the moment.
-
Premise: Most of you have met, either in real life or in Brain Burst, and the premise is that now, after knowing each other for a while, you want to start a Legion, and realise that the still unoccupied former territories of legions is all there for the taking. Only problem is that the current Six Color Kings aren't fans of people taking their (yet unclaimed) territory, not to mention all of the other Legions looking to have a piece of land for their own. So, in addition to fighting off various mobs and rumours of the Chrome Disaster armour and other, secretive shadowy groups returning to wreak havoc in Brain Burst, now you've got to deal with other Legions invading your territory. And of course, the highest goal of them all; if you can get your Legion Master to level 10, then they (and thus you) will get to meet the creator of the game to learn all about what the game truly is.
-
Characters: As mentioned before, you are all players of Brain Burst, with your Duel Avatars being based on your personality and hidden trauma (for instance, a person who wants to rise up beyond what they are may gain an Avatar who has flight powers, while a person who wants to never be held back may gain an Avatar with a bladed body, immune to being gripped or restrained, and a person who longs for the past may gain localised time control abilities).
-
System: Mostly freeform. You will need defined abilities and you will have Parameters that decide how good you are at a certain thing. Players start with 100 Burst Points. Fights have yet to be decided at this stage, but more or less will be similar to those of the series (fight to 0 HP, winner gets Burst Points and the loser loses them). When a player loses all of their Burst Points, they have Brain Burst uninstalled and are permanently removed from the game, having forgotten everything about Brain Burst, and can never come back. Burst Points can be used outside of the game to boost one's reflexes temporarily and need to be earned back by killing The Enemy (monster NPCs) or defeating other players. Levelling up is exponentially harder the higher level you are, and the higher level you are, the more Burst Points you lose when fighting people of your level; at level 9, fighting another Burst Linker of the same level and losing means you lose all your Burst Points and thus Brain Burst is uninstalled.
It obviously needs some fleshing out and it helps if you do some reading on the light novel/anime, but do you think this is interesting?
