THIS SHINDIG LOOKS LIKE THE BOMB DIGGITY.
It’s the year 2000 and no aspect of life has been left untouched by the rapid advancement of technology. Wherever you are on Earth, you’ve lived a life where connection through digital spaces is the optimal way to stay involved with friends and family all around the world. Terminally online? That’s you and everyone you know.
In a world dominated by virtual reality and cutting edge digital experiences, people are always on the lookout for new ways to push their real lives further and further out of mind. One such opportunity comes in the latest offering from the notorious CyberConnect Corporation: Fragment, an MMORPG that promises full one-to-one synchronization of one’s consciousness with a vibrant and expansive fantasy world.
The privilege of participating in the testing of such cutting edge technology is one only a select group of randomly selected people from across the world will get to experience. You’re one of those lucky few... but is lucky really the right word? For better or worse, the experience promises to change you forever, and if you’re particularly blessed, you may even survive it.
The World is a short-run, panfandom alternate universe game inspired by the .Hack series. With elements of horror and mystery, The World is a plot-centric game wherein characters will participate in the beta test of Fragment, a mysterious MMORPG that transfers their consciousness from an increasingly dull reality into a flourishing fantasy world where nothing is quite as innocent as it first seems. Player choices play a critical role in shaping the plot and determining the final outcome of the game.
Welcome to The World! This is a short-term game set to run for a period of four months from July 29th to December 2nd. Welcome! This is a private game open to those on milky's (shitpost), Amb's (stellazzio), and Lavender's (revelries) plurk lists and those directly invited by the rest of the mod team.
If you aren't a friend of either head mod but are interested in checking out the game, feel free to request an invitation via the mod contact page. Friends and +1s are given first priority when processing and accepting applications, but if the concept interests you, don't hesitate to let us know!

Considerations:
☀️ AETHER
Personality wise, my take on Aether is an outwardly composed and kind hearted guy who's curious, intelligent, loyal, and easy to get along with. He's for making friends, but he's rather private about his personal life and doesn't open up. He's more than willing to listen and help those he feels need it.
AU: I can see him outwardly being a very regular uni student who has a part time job. Yet, I want to play around with him being more with how sus he actually is in canon and bring it in this AU. Nothing like he's a "bad" guy, but someone who's got a lot more going on than he seems. He's probably looking for his sister which he's been separated from for five years.
🐱 AOI MUKOU
Aoi is from a vn called YOU, ME, AND HER. From an outsider's pov, she would come off as a complete weirdo who believes she's in a video game. She's very sexual, but her approach is more creepy and off-putting than successful. She's rather tactless and doesn't follow most social norms. She is absolutely loyal and selfless to those she comes to befriend and care for and is actually very sentimental. She's very meta and that will carry over probably.
AU: I can see her using gaming and online stuff as a way to cope with her troubles at home, her mental health, bullying, and a range of other things. What she needs is someone to be her friend and care about her as a person. She'll lack a decent amount of common sense, skills, and practical knowledge, but she'll try her best and learn quickly.
🐺 SILVER WOLF
GREMLIN!! In all seriousness, Silver Wolf is brilliant but immature. She likes to live life on her terms irl and online. She's morally grey but of a chaotic neutral than anything. She can be absolutely annoying but endearing at the same time. She likes to do things with her own flare.
AU: I can see her being formerly big in hacker circles and really intro retro gaming. Long term I'm not just yet what I'd like to do with her besides annoying text messages and enabling questionable impulses.

I'm a big Silver Wolf goblin behavior supporters, and I think she should be allowed to dox her fellow dorito-laden gamers, as a treat. I also totally almost bought Aoi's game recently and didn't, and now I'm kicking myself seeing her out here in the wild.
