Hello, and welcome to TOME! Over the past year, this massive multiplayer online game has seen thousands of revisions and millions of players! A few bumps in the road and kinks in the armor have been fixed, and the one year marker has been met! For those unfamiliar with the game, TOME is the original virtual reality MMORPG. Featuring unique quests, player shops, meaningful friend system, and more that you can't find in other games! We take pride in our limitless system of customization! You can choose from our preset customization options, or you can draw your own character and make it into a 3D model! Then, choose from one of six classes: Fighter, swordsman, spellcaster, animalistic, mechanical, and morphological. Each has their strengths and weaknesses, so choose wisely. After you finish that, you can follow our improved Libra system! Not only can you choose from the special moves made just for you based on your character, but you can also create and submit your own moves to be adapted to the Libra system! Then, once you feel satisfied with your character's appearance and moveset, you can choose what area to start in. There are three areas: Lavendera, the battle centered area; Mechcity, the social centered area; and Sanctuary, the respite centered area. Once you're inside, the whole world is yours to explore! Join a guild, find your way to the underside, and embark on the mysterious master quest! All this, and more, in the Live and Reloaded world of TOME!
I'm Eliakith, your dungeon master. Hi.
Well, now that introductions are over, it's time to explain...
RULES AND SYSTEMS
General rules:
1. All forum rules apply.
2. Have fun.
Character sheet rules and systems:
Character sheet:
Name:
Description or pic:
Bio (Optional. Not exceedingly important in game, but will determine points of the master quest.)
Class:
Subclass or battle style:
Exp: 0/10 lvl 1
Libra sheet:
0/10 SP, 0 UP, 0 MP
(Moves would go in this area.)
HP: 50/50
Inventory: 1x basic potion, portable healer, Passage privileges (none).
Equipped inventory: Basic weapon of class, basic armor of class.
Bonuses and countdowns: None.
Explanation of above sheet.
Description is helpful ONLY when you include height, body type (sleek? Muscular? Rounded? Agile? Squarish?) and unusual features (One small wing? Missing the palms of your hands? Single strand of hair points straight up?).
Pictures can be used in place of a description. This will be taken out of your character sheet in the first post I make.
The class section is fairly self explanatory. Choose from one of the six general classes.
Fighter. Only suitable for characters who fight with their hands and feet. Maybe a little bit of magic, or a gadget or two, but you are your main weapon.
Swordsman. Your weapon is your ally. Whether it's a katana, tank sword, hammer, bow, or pair of daggers, this weapon and maybe a tactical spell or two is what sets you above the rest.
Spellcaster. Controllers of light, fire, lightning, and anything in between fall into this category. Doesn't matter if you get in close to shoot a pulse of water out your body or stay back and let your summoned undead do the fighting, your advantage lies in sheer damage.
Animalistic. Humans with animal elements or animals with human elements enter this category predominantly over fighter. Your senses, speed, reflexes, and fear tactics lend you a hand in obliterating your opponent by claw, tooth, talon, or paw.
Mechanical. Robots, cyborgs, and androids make their way here. Fancy gizmos, hidden blades, and laser shooters crush, kill, and destroy.
Morphological, The most versatile of classes. If you have your slab of metal, bag of sand, or even your own body with you, you can change your tactics in battle faster then... I make a good analogy. Your unpredictability makes you a valuable teammate.
Subclass section is just for you to make. Priest, tanker, cobra assasin, etc., is yours to figure out yourself. This determines what kind of moves I suggest.
The Libra sheet has a lot going on.
You have skill points, earned every other level to equip skills; Upgrade points, earned every level, used to upgrade current skills (refundable); and mastery points, earned every ten levels, used to add an effect to a current move.
Then, you have the moves (or skills, I use the terms interchangeably) section. Here you can submit moves for your character, which will be assigned a skill point cost. If you don't want to go through the work of making your own moves, I can supply a substantial list for you to choose from. All move submissions should be in this format:
(Damage, range, effects [tier 1], type X)
Low Melee Psn Lux
Med Short Frz Void
High Med Brn Pyro
Extreme Long Etc Terra
Extreme Aqua
Etc.
No God moves.

You'll always be told what to do next if your lost with your character sheet, so don't fret.
With that, you're ready to sign up. When I say you're ready to start, post in the main thread with your character sheet and the location at which you wish to spawn.
Q&A:
Q. Who is the bio of? My character out of game or in game?
A. The character in game.
Q. Suppose I want to chat with another player. Can I reply without a facilitation post from you?
A. Yes you can. You cannot do battle with another player without a facilitation post though.
Q. Can I use a weapon without a skill for it?
A. No. That is not how the game works. However, swords are swords, staffs are staffs, etc.
Q. How does one make the Skill Point MAX higher?
A. As stated in the libra sheet section, skill points are earned ever other level.
Q. Can one suggest moves after signup?
A. Yes. There is nothing stopping you from suggesting moves to fill in extra points.
