User blog:LastZephyr/Virtual Reality RP, Anyone?

Hey everyone, school's finally ended so I've got a lot more free time! Hence, I'm interested in hosting a new roleplay. With the current interest in the beginning of the prolification of Virtual Reality in real life, I was thinking: since RWBY is a futuristic society, wouldn't their VR be much more technologically advanced than ours, to the point where they'd be completely immersive?

Since the existence of VR isn't confirmed in RWBY, this will probably take place under the "AU" category of RPs just to be safe, even though the world will be exactly the same as the one detailed in canon aside from this.

World War G
The independent game developer Peregrine has been in the process of developing a video game adaptation of the Vale Times number one bestseller World War G . Preliminary showings and beta test streams have generated quite the hype, and Peregrine plans to release the full game next fall. However, there is one problem: the game includes five modes of difficulty - Noob, Easy, Normal, Hard, and Hardcore. Of all the beta testers so far, only one has been able to successfully complete all the missions in the Hardcore segment of the game, which centers around permadeath. Thus, if a player dies when playing Hardcore, they will have to start all over from the beginning.

Thus, Peregrine is considering scrapping Hardcore, but they're giving it one last chance. How so? By requesting beta tests by young Huntsmen and Huntresses, of course! Having peak physical ability in real life should translate well into VR, and if they succeed at beating the missions, it means that Hardcore should be kept in order to cater to the widest audience possible. Thus they are opening beta testing to a few candidates who seem to have potential.

Plot Blurb
''A mysterious parasite Grimm has mutated in the wild. Transmitted by direct contact with its victim's bloodstream, any person or animal infected displays the same characteristics of a Grimm, but without the distinct white mask and bony juts. This "plague" has spread throughout the four kingdoms, and without knowledge of a viable cure and a slow rate of infection causing those affected to only begin showing symptoms up to three weeks after becoming a host, humanity is paralyzed by the pandemic. It has been one year since the first recorded case, and communication systems have fractured along with most of society.''

''Your job is to protect Beacon Academy, which has become a shelter for civilians fleeing the city in the wake of the breakout from the "G"s, those who have become Grimm hosts. In addition to keeping the school secure, you have to deal with roving bands and all sorts of crazy threats that developed after the Grimmpocalypse. Sounds simple enough, but you have to be prepared for everything.''

List of OCs So Far
LastZephyr: Bernhardt Senf, Saria Khuruf

Fiernull: Casper Bluthardt

I'm looking to recruit three other users for this RP. Each user can include more than one OC, but please don't pull in the whole brigade. The VR used will be completely immersive, like that of SAO minus the dying in real life part.
