Algerinai2

[Lee Fey]

I'm going to pick up a game world that I thought was really cool. No age limit on this one, but this is going to be a story telling too. You have to not let characters make you mad. Please, try and reduce any typos in your writing, since that'll make it annoying to read and break the flow of the story.

If no one knows about Algerinai, it was a sci-fantasy story. Cyberpunk, or futuristic stories about capitalism gone horribly wrong, is the kind of story it is. Most people don't even know about the massive super-corporations that are weaving about their daily lives.

What makes Algerinai different from most other cyberpunk stories is that magic is real. It's called onima. It's generated by living things, and altered by granite. So, high technology could be anything we have today, enhanced magically by granite onima circuitry. Every machine that uses onima, however, requires a living organism to draw its onima from. So really weird cyborg type machines might exist in day to day life.

I will keep this open ended too, people can come up with story ideas, and we can all brainstorm on a good story, so that we can all help each other be as creative as possible.

Lee.....are you Curtis?

 

[Morwen]

lol....You FINALLY guessed.

 

[Ninjitsu14]

@Morwenie.

 

[Lee Fey]

Moving on, is anyone interested? Anyone at all? I don't want to start something that's a clone of the first time we entered this world, so we can move on from that, but is anyone interested at all in playing with this?

 

[Ninjitsu14]

I am,I liked Algrinai1 it just sorta,died without everyone.It was just me and White...... me couldn't keep it alive

 

[Lee Fey]

Okay then, well, now it's back, and if anyone besides you and me wants to play, then maybe we can keep it alive this time. So, Shadow, what did you like about Algerinai1, and what didn't you like? This is the time to change things to make it more fun for everyone.

 

[Lee Fey]

Is anyone interested at all? Even curious? I thought this was a really great game. Is everyone sure they're not interested?

 

[Morwen]

I might be able to try it out again.

 

[WhiteLily]

I'll come! It was a fun RPG!

 

[Lee Fey]

Great, all the old gang is here.

However, how I want to do it this time is to let you guys input more than you did before. What kind of adventures do you guys want to run? The last one seemed to confuse people a little. Well, now you can tell me how you want to go about this whole thing.

 

[swordkitty]

ive never heard of it, so...

 

[Morwen]

Hm. The whole power thing messed me up. Are we allowed to have 'powers'? And what kind? Another thing would be Algerinai itself. What exactly was it? A huge computer? lol....sorry about all the questions.

 

[Ninjitsu14]

I liked particularily trhat they were inside a computer's like"soul" but what I didn't like was the RPers themselves thinking I could be bossed around cause I'm younger.In the bible it says "never let anyone walk over you because your younger"that was a rough translation,but oh well.

 

[Morwen]

I'm really not going to comment.

 

[Ninjitsu14]

:sly:

 

[Lee Fey]

ok, well, people were allowed to have powers, as long as they were minor and not too overpowered. With Algerinai, it was a big computer, but it was powered with onima, the magical energy, instead of just electricity. That means it was actually intelligent, it had a soul basically, even though it was still just a computer. Anyway, how it works was cyberspace replaced the normal window-style format. Virtual reality was how people logged into computers. And in cyberspace,instead of having a little icon represent a word processor, you had a pen that you spoke to, or something like that, but that's only in cyberspace. How I had it, was that if the computer generating the virtual reality environment of cyberspace was powered by onima, then it became onispace, a real, actual place you could physically go, but it followed all the rules of cyberspace. Does everyong get it?

 

[Morwen]

Pretty much. Thanks.

 

[Ninjitsu14]

that's actually how I imagined it before.

 

[Lee Fey]

Now, cyberpunk was more than just cyberspace. It was also capitalism gone horrible wrong. Corporations spread across enough space as to consume many different nations. This worked by having the corporation own every part of every market. From computers and communications to food and power and water and waste disposal and housing and everything. The corporations ended up selling everything back to their own employees, since there was no one else to sell to. About a dozen different corporations span all over the world, and their only competion are each other.

The general public doesn't really know much about any of this, especially the violence that goes on when a really important scientist or employee wanted to go from one corporation to another. And spying and espionage is really big between corporations, because they have to know what the others are doing in order to compete. So, in this all, there is a very illegal underground society that the corporations feed money into for their own needs. Very many mercenaries abound, and have specialized jobs, from firewall breakers and spyware implanters to actual, real-world private soldiers for hire that can "escort" certain important employees from place to another.
