[[http://holyrelic.dreamwidth.org/ Holy Relic]] is a JournalRoleplay set in [[VideoGame/DotHackGUGames The World R:2]] with a few differences.

Most importantly, the characters are physically in the game world rather than using a head-mounted interface, much to the chagrin of any .hack// characters that find themselves there. Instead, everything that would be handled using an overlay menu is taken care of using a steampunk [=iPhone=]-like device called a Relic, which despite the name of the game, is not holy in any way. It also didn't used to be a phone, but those features were added in mid-July.

Oh, and they're in different outfits.

It used to be on Livejournal, but moved to Dreamwidth after its mods noticed that people were having trouble staying around.

!! Holy Relic contains examples of:

* CallingYourAttacks: There's no other way for a character to use a skill from their class. It's optional with regards to powers that characters brought from home.
%% * CastHerd: Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'s is the largest, although VideoGame/InazumaEleven is a close second.
* ClingyMacGuffin: The Relic, which will just reappear in its owner's bag if it's lost. Which is a good thing, because it's borderline necessary.
* ContinuityNod: The names of the communities used are all keywords from G.U.
%% * CuteBruiser: [[VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry Rena]]
%% * DeathIsNotPermanent: What else do you expect from an MMORPG?
%% * DrivesLikeCrazy: [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyV Faris]]
%% * GenreSavvy: [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog Sonic]], much to his chagrin, as he feels he just isn't cut out for [=RPGs=].
* HeroesPreferSwords: Blade Brandier is by far the most common single class, and also a common choice on Adept Rogues.
%% * HolidayMode: Many of the game's events are holiday-based.
* HumanityEnsues: [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog Sonic]], [[VideoGame/{{Okami}} Amaterasu]] and [[VideoGame/{{Okami}} Tachigami]]. Amaterasu eventually got the ability to change into her full wolf form back.
%% * MegaCrossover
%% * Most of the gameplay and setting tropes exhibited by .hack//G.U.
* SummonMagic: Averted. Summoning is the only power from other worlds that stops working in The World, except if the thing being summoned is connected to the user him/herself, such as a Persona.
* TranslatorMicrobes: Everyone comes in with an earpiece enabling them to hear everyone and everything else in their native tongue.
%% * TrappedInAnotherWorld
%% * Weapon Of Choice: More or less how the classes are divided up. Adept Rogues choose two in any combination, unlike the point-buy system used in .hack//G.U.
%% * {{BFS}}: Edge Punisher
%% * CoolSword: Blade Brandier
%% * DualWielding : Twin Blade
%% * DualWielding [[ImprobableWeaponUser Battle Fans]]: Macabre Dancer
%% * PowerFist: Tribal Grappler
%% * SinisterScythe: Flick Reaper
%% * TheGunslinger: Steam Gunner
%% * ThrowTheBookAtThem: Shadow Warlock
* WhiteMagicianGirl: Harvest Clerics, including male ones such as [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIII Hope Estheim]] and [[{{Webcomic/Homestuck}} Dave Strider]].
%% * WrongGenreSavvy: [[Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick Roy Greenhilt]], and to a lesser extent [[Literature/SwordArtOnline Shinon]].
