[The (Sic) Shape]

You don?t need to have a large amount of knowledge on the anime or the games but it is recommended.
________________________________

Rumors of ?The World? being the reason for all the recent comas and ALTIMIT and CC Corporation?s denial in the rumors have caused the sales of the game to drop, as well as players began dropping out of ?The World?. But unbeknownst to the public, ALTIMIT and CC Corp have come up with a something to take the public?s attention away from the recent rumors as well as to pin the blame on someone who have caused players of ?The World? to fall into comas?
__________________________

[i]ALTIMIT and CC Corp have recently announced of a new and rare upgrade program called the ?Upgrade of Twilight?. It can be acquired by either finding it and buying it in the real world or search for it in the dungeons throughout ?The World?, but the chances of finding it are little. It is said that the ?Upgrade of Twilight? has the ability to greatly increase your stats. I thought that once I got it, my hacking skills would be better and less noticeable but even though I have just acquired this upgrade program in ?The World?, and asides from the new clothes I have been given, I don?t feel any different?[/i]

___________________________

Okay, you either play as a player who as acquired the ?Upgrade of Twilight? or a Moderator or Administrator of ?The World?.

If you play as a player you can choose from one of these abilities:
1) Data Drain
2) The ability to teleport through fields without using the Chaos Gates
3) Your character class is altered, which is a fusion of two character classes

If you?re a player, your level will range from levels 10-50

If you choose to play as a Moderator or Administrator I?ll PM you on what your goal is in this RP. Your level is higher then players, ranging from 60-90. The abilities a Mod/Admin has is the ability to ban characters or Player Kill (PK) them. The difference between the two is that an Administrator can alter their own character classes. I need at least one Mod/Admin
