I wanted to make a rp with a Ready Player One and Boneworks kinda vibe to it. It'll be a typical we meet in the VR world and begin to spark almost immediately. We decide that we want to meet in the real world after a few VR hangouts. We go on one last "VR Date" in the Glitch Zone that is told to erase a user's access to The Haven (the VR game name). What Is discovered there is the original creator's avatar and code. This is a surprise to both of us for she died a year ago….More information will be available upon interest
(Sure. Glad someone have some interest in it.)
I'll put up a simple template for now

Some rules as well I suppose
1) try to be on most days for I don't want this to die
2) no Mary Sues and whatnot
3) no godmodding
4) I'm okay with straight ships or gay ones
5) anything steamy will be taken to pms
6) have some fun!
(One question: would we have two separate appearances? One for VR and one for R?)
(Yes we would good point!)
Name: Bexley (Bex) Winters
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Straight (if that is alright with you)
Appearance: Bex, in reality, is 5'8" with straight, dark brown hair and bark-brown doe eyes. She is skinny, but doesn't have the curves that most females her age would (she has an athletic body type, yet doesn't take advantage of it), and her skin is fair, her cheeks naturally a rosy red, which become more prominent when she's tired.
In VR, Bex's avatar is a shorter girl, about 5'3", with fiery, frizzy, and yet wavy red hair, ocean blue eyes, and a massive smile. She has fair skin and a small hourglass body shape, but that doesn't seem to bother Bex at all. Bex's username in The Haven is "MovingMedley_137"
Clothing: In reality, you can find Bexley wearing whatever seems comfortable (and whatever hides the curves she does have!) 9 times out of 10, though, she can be seen wearing hoodies and jeans.
In The Haven, Bex wears a forest green T-shirt, jean shorts, and combat boots, as well as two clips in her hair, both having a pink daisy on each of them.
Personality: In reality, Bex is an awkward, introverted teenager who hopes to start her own music career with her guitar, who she's named "Medley." Bex has had Medley since she was 9 and takes a small amount of pride in her performance, that is, if she could get over her timidness.
In VR, Bex can be herself and pretend to be the person she's always wanted to be: a bada**, independent person who would never back down from a challenge. Of course, she does have small episodes of showing her true personality when she is being hit with nervousness and anxiety, but Bex's avatar tries to shrug those things off and push through it.
Other: Bexley lives with her younger brother, Cato, who's only younger by two years, and she can often be playing The Haven with him on most days, seeing as he got her into VR. It is uncommon for her to go into VR on her own, but she can survive it–her brother often meets up with his friends and doesn't have time to play in VR.
She good?
(She's a stereotypical character somewhat for this prompt, but…Idk. She seemed like a good idea for the thirty minutes or so it took to write her up. Thanks for the appreciation!)
Name: Xander Kadens
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Sexuality: bi but has a preference of women
Appearance: In the real world Xander has a light tan for he gets out a bit more often into the real world then a lot of people do. His body type would fall into the lightly built category just on the edge of being considered scrawny. He's 5'10" and has tree bark brown hair that reaches just pass his ears. He always streaks with colors like green or blue. His eyes are a dark brown, almost looking black. In The Haven his avatar has staticy looking light blond hair and icy blue eyes. He only a bit shorter but has more muscle mass.
Clothing: He enjoys wearing nerd culture tee shirts and things like cargo shorts. The easier to put on the better, In Haven however her always is seen wearing a full suit, James Bond style.
personality: Xander is seen as a pretty unusual person for he doesn't really spend a whole lot of time in The Haven. He enjoys reading and soccer but as everyone in this age he will get on and play around. He's known as Ag3nt99 in The Haven and is much like he is in real life there. He keeps to himself unless he's in a social mood bit gets quite explosive if anyone he's gotten attached to gets any shit online by trolls and people of that sort
other: Xander has been in love with the piano since the age of ten and plays it even when within Haven
(o.o I love him! Who should start?)
(Do you mind if I ask: what kind of VR game is The Haven? Adventure, Sci-Fi, etc.? I'm not sure I know how I'd start–do you mind if I leave that to you? If not, I can try to generate something.)
(It's like a world building sort of game where there is community games within the game along with preloaded places like Taverns, beaches, skate parks and things of that sort. There is PVP zones where players can face against each other and/or game npcs. The location of that is determined by the players themselves. Players will rank up and be able to get more in game things quickly in PVP but at a steady pace in the world building section. any other questions?)
(Nope! Thanks for clarifying!)
(so you wanna start or me?)
(I think I have an idea for starting…give me a minute or two…)
"Hey Bex, I gotta go. Liam messaged me and he's waiting for me. I'll see you later." Cato nodded to her avatar.
Bex nodded, but as soon as he disconnected, she frowned. "Later" probably meant the next day, maybe even later than that.
Bex sighed, returning to the lobby and deciding to attend a music performance for all players. Maybe she could muster up her courage and play something? Not likely. Nevertheless, she swayed her head to the calming music as someone played the piano. Besides that, there was an array of instruments, from guitars to a drum set to a cello and violin. There was even microphones on the stage for singers.
The place was quiet, besides the piano. There weren't many people, but the place emitted a "homey" feeling, with the floor being wood as well as the stage, walls, and ceiling. Pictures of calming quotes and old music pieces hung on the walls, and there were a few tables and chairs. Bex smiled, positioning herself in a corner of the building, far from the stage, but she could still hear the piano.
(Whether or not your character is playing said piano is up to you.)
(Plans have caused me to not be able to roleplay often for the next few days. Just saying this because I like this idea and I don't want this to die.)
(Alright I'll keep an eye out for your return)
Xander's neighbor was using the Haven
His mom was using the Haven
His dad was using the Haven
While they had been on for the whole day Xander had logged on not long ago and planned not to stay that long. He was just gonna play a piano piece or two to see what kind of reception it got from people and log off for he wasn't in his overall outgoing mood right now. Xander was at the piano playing some pieces he had written himself. The first one was calm and relaxing but the second one was…well he was pretty sure that people would be able to here it on other servers. It was strong and filled with energy even If Xander wasn't particularly feeling the same the song was. He hummed to himself and tapped his foot, the dress shoe he wore a little loud on the wooden floor.
Bex's grin grew wider. Today was going to be an okay day.
She considered waving down the pianist to compliment him, and approached the stage cautiously, where a few people were, talking and enjoying the music.
Trying not to break the stranger's concentration (though Bex had to shout, probably turning a few nearby heads), she spoke. "Hey! You're pretty good! Why haven't I seen you around here before?"
Xander looked from the piano but seemed to have little issue to keep going, even if his dynamics dropped a bit "Thanks." he nodded and smiled just a bit "Was just seeing how people like this stuff." the song finally finished with a final sustained note from a pedal press from the pianists foot "I just don't get on often so maybe that's why."
"Oh, makes sense. I play a little, too, but it's nothing compared to that. I'm Bex." She waved a hand at him, her smirk adding an "I dare you to try" attitude to her confident posture. of course, internally, Bexley was surprised that she was talking to someone outside of her and her brother's friend group. "Besides this, what do you normally do?"
"I'm Xander…well in here I usually hang out in the worldbuilder section and make things inside of there. I remade the old board game clue in here and sometimes I do the pvp gamemodes, but outside of here I like to read and hang out outdoors. This stuff is great sure but the real world is fun too. How 'bout you?" he asked as he went through his sheet music and put it back into his inventory.
Bexley smiled. "In here, I mainly hang out with my brother's friends, usually meaning that I spend my time with them being killed in pvp. You remade Clue? I'm a big fan of that game. I don't play it so often because my family always loses to me. Kinda funny, if you ask me. Outside of here, besides school, I read, collect snowglobes, and bug my brother." She was happy that she had a few things in common with Xander. "Oh, yeah… I play guitar as well. I named her Medley."
