Line #21 Roleplay/HolyRelic


1	[[http://holyrelic.dreamwidth.org/ Holy Relic]] is a JournalRoleplay set in [[VideoGame/DotHackGUGames The World R:2]] with a few differences.
2
3	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.
4
5	Oh, and they're in different outfits.

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

9	----
10	!! Holy Relic contains examples of:
11
12	* 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.
13	%% * CastHerd: Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'s is the largest, although VideoGame/InazumaEleven is a close second.
14	* 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.
15	* ContinuityNod: The names of the communities used are all keywords from G.U.
16	%% * CuteBruiser: [[VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry Rena]]
17	%% * DeathIsNotPermanent: What else do you expect from an MMORPG?
18	%% * DrivesLikeCrazy: [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyV Faris]]
19	%% * GenreSavvy: [[Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog Sonic]], much to his chagrin, as he feels he just isn't cut out for [=RPGs=].
20	* HeroesPreferSwords: Blade Brandier is by far the most common single class, and also a common choice on Adept Rogues.
21	%% * HolidayMode: Many of the game's events are holiday-based.
22	* HumanityEnsues: [[Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog Sonic]], [[VideoGame/{{Okami}} Amaterasu]] and [[VideoGame/{{Okami}} Tachigami]]. Amaterasu eventually got the ability to change into her full wolf form back.
23	%% * MegaCrossover
24	%% * Most of the gameplay and setting tropes exhibited by .hack//G.U.
25	* 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.
26	* TranslatorMicrobes: Everyone comes in with an earpiece enabling them to hear everyone and everything else in their native tongue.
27	%% * TrappedInAnotherWorld
28	%% * 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.
29	%% * {{BFS}}: Edge Punisher
30	%% * CoolSword: Blade Brandier
31	%% * DualWielding : Twin Blade
32	%% * DualWielding [[ImprobableWeaponUser Battle Fans]]: Macabre Dancer
33	%% * PowerFist: Tribal Grappler
34	%% * SinisterScythe: Flick Reaper
35	%% * TheGunslinger: Steam Gunner
36	%% * ThrowTheBookAtThem: Shadow Warlock
37	* WhiteMagicianGirl: Harvest Clerics, including male ones such as [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIII Hope Estheim]] and [[{{Webcomic/Homestuck}} Dave Strider]].
