So, I've been gone for a -very- long time. I've polished my RP'ing skills on Failbitch (Facebook, pardon my French), and have come back with some interesting (and gory) ideas.
So, to get down to the chase, the way that I'd like to create an RP based upon Sword Art Online with some factors from Alfheim Online. A brief description of the background, and it won't be taking place in Kirito's world.
First, some factors that will be taken from Alfheim.
1. Magic is a usable resource.
2. Some avatars may be designed with wings.
3. Weapons of all sorts are able to be used; bows, maces, swords, daggers, long-range or melee. If your mind can think it, it can be used. Except guns.
4. This game is Virtual-Reality.
Factors taken from Log Horizon:
1. There is a class system.
2. There is no known way to escape from this world.
List of Classes; --> = Selection available at level 30.
--Main Classes--
Mage --> Sorcerer or Enchanter; Staffs as weapons.
Priest --> Cleric or Templar; Staffs/Maces as weapons
Rogue --> Void Assassin or Shadow Hunter; Daggers as weapons
Martial Artist --> Monk or Drunken Fist; Claws (gauntlets with blades attached to them)/unarmed as weapons.
Squire --> Warrior or Guardian; Swords/Spears/Lances/Maces as weapons.
Archer --> Artillery or Ranger; Bow and arrow as weapons.
--Subclasses--
Bard
Tracker
Chef
Joker
Scribe
Assistant
Maid
Apothecary
Forager
Tactician
In regards to Sword-Arts, I'm going to do things differently. There will be 'three' unique Arts assigned to each person, based upon their classes and character's personality. It will be purely -my- discretion at which who receives them at what time. The most I can state is: One is based upon your class combination. One is a passive skills that is always active. One is an active skill that has a cooldown.

Character Template;
Name:
Age:
Appearance (Can be a description -or- a picture; includes height):
Class(es):
-- Sword-Arts will be able to be created. When/if the time comes for your character to activate it, I'll present some options for your him/her based upon their personality/actions so far.
I'll go ahead and post my character's template.
Name: Xero Shade
Age: 24
Appearance: A tall, pale, slender man of about six feet tall. His hair is chin-length, and a shade of black darker than a raven's feather. His eyes are an unmistakable blue.

The plot will consist of numerous details. Everything from living with the current inhabitants (NPCs) of the world to battling monsters (mobs) that inhabit the outskirts of the towns.
I've got some barebone ideas for story-arcs, but I would like some contribution.
