Haruhi Suzumiya
An Adorable Entity
The Internet. You probably can't imagine your life without it anymore.
Here's the short version of things. (Less detailed, but sums up this section and the maps section)
Here's the short version of things. (Less detailed, but sums up this section and the maps section)
Since the Internet was made, 6,142 people have been literally sucked into their computers and into the vast labyrinth of servers and things that make the Internet up, which in reality appear to make up their own world, with lakes and fields and mountains all over. However, civilization has been made as it was needed, so a village was made by the original few people that were trapped in the Internet - So now new people appear there instead of in wilderness, all on their own. The royalty of the world, mainly consisting of the few people that built the village, live in a grand floating castle, separated from the commoners and living in luxury while the normal people forge normal lives for themselves. However, there are bandits that try to steal and kill their ways to the top, known as Viruses (Yes, that kind), which are hunted and (Sometimes) caught by groups of warriors called Antiviruses and imprisoned in the floating castle's prisons. Aside from that, the world of the Internet can have whatever one's mind can imagine - Any and all technology is possible (To roleplay limits, nothing that could make you a mary-sue or gary-stu). Magic is even possible, though it's rather rare. However, normal things like food, water and sleep are still needed, which one can luckily buy in the village with money obtained from either fighting monsters or working for it in the village!
Additionally, to make your life even more convenient here, a device called the WAM - An abbreviation for Web Access Mobile - Is given to everyone that appears in the Internet. It stores your belongings so bags and storage containers aren't necessary, it can create building materials from thin air (With modification), and it can send messages and call like a phone.
Now for the long version... (More detailed, requires you to read the maps section too, but most of the maps section is optional!)
The Internet is an interesting place - A place like international waters, actually. No true laws hold the Internet together - It's a place in which one is completely free to do as they please and share whatever they wish with the world. It's a place where some feel freedom and joy while others feel shackled and weak...
This is no exception for those who have become trapped in the labyrinthian network of servers that is the Internet.
Since the Internet was created, a select few people - Only about 100 people every year - Disappear while using the Internet. No one in the real world knows what could have happened to them, because no traces of their physical bodies remain to prove anything. As time went by, the Internet grew a monarchy within itself and became a kingdom. With nearly 6,000 people trapped in the Internet, some have forged 'normal' lives for themselves again in the kingdom, while others have resorted to lives of traveling or thievery, and some flat-out sabotage computer users - These people are called Viruses, as they are considered no greater than a disease.
While some are imprisoned within the kingdom's great prison, many run amok and continue doing what they do best. With an essentially limitless amount of possible damage one could do, it's difficult to track the Viruses down, but still far from impossible. Some dedicate their seemingly endless lives to ridding the kingdom of Viruses, and those people formed organizations known as Antiviruses - While some allow the Viruses to live among them.
Pretty much anything is possible here - Architecture has stayed in a rather medieval style, and the world outside the village walls looks like it's straight out of a fantasy book, but technology can be anything from a stick with a rock tied to it to a laser chainsaw. Anything is possible here... You just need money. Which, conveniently, you can get from either A.) Fighting monsters or B.) Working in town!
Who might you be? Are you a long-time member of the kingdom, or are you perhaps a newcomer, only just introduced to the eternal prison that is the Internet? Do you want to leave, or do you want to stay and carve a nice life for yourself?
Keep in mind... This world has no true rules outside the kingdom's influence, which only covers one site. Will you stay in the comfort of the village, or will you go out into the wilderness and travel the endless world?

The kingdom's castle is floating, so as to avoid allowing anyone into it except those who belong there (Royalty, noblemen and women, prisoners in the basements). It's still accessible, however, but one would need some sort of flying vehicle to access it.
View attachment 64066
The kingdom's village is mainly residential, but a small marketing district contains shops for weapons and armor (Essential for travelers) and basic goods, like food and water, which are still needed. New Internet-goers almost always appear in the streets here, though sometimes they appear in peoples' houses or just outside the walls.
The Prison is only open to prisoners - Some are more well-accommodated than others (More minor criminals get normal cells while major criminals get harsher conditions). However, there was a point when any crime was punishable by terrible means, so there are more major cells than minor ones. If one is sent to prison, they should never expect to leave - Only two or three people have ever left the prison, and two of them escaped - Only one was allowed to leave.
The forests are the most common type of wilderness on the Internet. It's typically peaceful and uninhabited, but sometimes Viruses make their homes here. All the same, they are the most hospitable, as they offer everything one could possibly need to survive - However, in the less hospitable forests, vicious creatures like rabid trolls and quicksand are serious threats, not to mention locked threads (Vines of various colors that wrap around victims and drain them of energy) and some potential unknown dangers.
Plains, sometimes referred to as Forums, are places in which people thrive the easiest. They are the next most hospitable wilderness area, being preceded by Forests. This is not because they have more living threats - This actually because of how hard to navigate and understand these areas are without serious experience in the area, which will be difficult, since these areas have no natural life except grass and flowers, and no lakes are found in these areas.
Coasts are actually inhospitable places. They have plentiful water, yes, but the water is undrinkable - It's saltwater, so it will most likely kill you if you try to live off it. However, the kingdom was built on a plains-coasts hybrid land, so it's not impossible to live in.
Deserts are out of the question for survival. Water is nowhere to be seen, the blistering sands will likely engulf you if you don't have proper gear, and the monsters that thrive in these areas are more than enough to scare you away from a terrible place like this.
If you wish to live in the valleys between the mountains, do as you please - However, the valleys are hard to live in, because they face the hazards of forests as well as the normal dangers of falling, earthquakes and often dehydration. Mountains can be lived on, but in the higher altitudes having adequate air is also a risk.

Web Access Mobile, AKA WAM
View attachment 64074
The WAM is a convenient device that one receives upon entering the Internet, and is nearly necessary for life in the Internet. It functions similarly to a phone in some ways, like how it can text and call people, but it also allows one to send invites, which let people come to your exact location if you choose to let them (And they accept the invite). One can also write memos and use the WAM as a journal, or they can write down important things to remember.
One can also teleport from site to site with the proper IP (Site names will not work), which allows one to teleport to someone's general location. One's inventory - One's carried objects and equipment - Will also be displayed here, and can be summoned and disintegrated at the tap of a button. At the top of the screen one may notice "WAM 4372" - The number is the model number one is using, which is a unique number. It's like a phone number.
System settings allow the user to change their model number (To one that isn't already being used), change their name (Again, to something unused) or even delete themselves (Cannot be done by others - Must be done by the owner). That isn't all, though - More features will come up as time goes along!
The physical device cannot be broken, but it can be disabled or limited by royalty - For example, a prisoner would not be able to send messages or teleport to different sites, but they would be able to access their inventory (To change clothes if they must). System settings would also be off limits.
RULES
Do I really need to explain things? The rules are simple - Post a paragraph or so for your characters (OOC can be one-liners if you want), use proper Spelling & Grammar, keep things nice and civilized and we should be fine.
Also, keep things PG-13, please. Thank you.
