OOC: Paradigm Shift - Spellbook

.: Paradigm Shift :.​

Welcome to Paragon, a new VR experience that initiates players in a full-body experience into the world of Paragon, a land of magic users and practitioners. However, a dark force plagues the land, who is the new king, or Paragon of the land, by the name of Malfore. In this world, you can live a life of honing your magic, or joining in the fight against Malfore.

At least, that's how initially was going to play out. But then again, nothing in life goes according to plan.

In here, you will mantain your spellbooks and abilities and sets. Be sure to check here before a battle or moving on, as changes happen frequently if not annually.​

• .: PART 1 :.
  
  • Chapter I - Day of Reckoning (Page 1 -
• • The Great Expanse
  • The Lux Territory
  • The Gaian Territory
  • The Pyrus Territory
  • The Aquos Territory
  • The Outer Slabs

  • Between the 4 Territories is a grassy stretch of land known as neutral ground. Surrounding the area are the towns of Vashti, Asia, and Moira. Some ways beyond Moira, there is a natural patch of ground configured like that of a miniature battlefield, dubbed the Paragon's Ring, where casters from all around have went there to prove their worth.
    
    People of all diversities live in the Great Expanse, and societal life is a melting pot of culture and magic learning. People speak as one voice in the middle region.
    
    • To the North: The Lux Territorry.
    • To the South: The Gaian Territory.
    • To the East: Malfore's Peak.
    • To the West: Tempus Graveyard.
  • Dominating the Northern part of the land lies the desert region of the Lux Territory. Only one major town, Sobek, sits at the foot of a large pyramid, known as the Tomb of Enlightenment.
    
    People whom live in the Lux Territory are known Earthen or Light magic users, but racial hate for the more darker aspects of magic has been flaring up ever since Malfore had become Paragon. Beware of those whom despise dark arts when traversing the unforgiving sands.
    
    • To the North: The Ocean.
    • To the South: The Great Expanse.
    • To the East: The Pyrus Territory.
    • To the West: The Darklands.
  • Covering the Southern part of the land is the lush forests of the Gaian Territory. The Gaia Tree, nearly half the size of a certain Mt. Everest, stands tall in the middle of the forest, with a bustling town of Avas running up and down the trunks.
    
    People in the Gaian Territory are known to be naturally friendly to the more creative aspects of magic, and shun the more destructive types, fire magic included. But they otherwise have a deep-seated bond with the tree that provides for their every need, and invites those to share that bond.
    
    • To the North: The Great Expanse.
    • To the South: The Ocean.
    • To the East: Malfore's Peak.
    • To the West: The Aquos Territory.
  • The trading capital of Paragon, the Pyrus Territory is well-known for it's passionate people, it's stone-and-beach sights, and the hard bargains of trades. The two towns of Ignis and Cauz make up the trade routes around the other territories, leaving the Pyrus Territory wealthy.
    
    People in the Pyrus Territory are more known for fighting first, and asking questions later, and write off being a genius as being a detriment. They've been in a sort of cold war with the Aquos Territory opposite to them, due to politics. However, there is some conspiracy lurking around the territory, especially considering that the land borders Malfore's Peak.
    
    • To the North: The Ocean.
    • To the South: Malfore's Peak.
    • To the East: The Ocean.
    • To the West: The Lux Territorry.
  • The wellspring territory of knowledge, the Aquos Territory is a land of learning and experimentation. While the area is always raining due to the climate, the area is known for procurring the greatest minds to exist in Paragon, and is the centerpiece of politics and records alike.
    
    People in the Aquos Territory are more pragmatics than fighters, and snub those that lack intelligence. They've been in a sort of cold war with the Pyrus Territory opposite to them, due to politics. However, there is some conspiracy lurking around the territory, especially since the population keeps vanishing. Reports of the disappearances near the Tempus Graveyard.
    
    • To the North: Tempus Graveyard.
    • To the South: The Ocean.
    • To the East: The Gaian Territory.
    • To the West: The Ocean.
  • The Outer Slabs, or outer territories, are uncharted spots of land that have more of a negative reputation, depending on whom you talk to.
    
    To the West of the Great Expanse and the North of the Aquos Territory is the Tempus Graveyard. This patch of territory is a land of ruins, with broken clocks and hourglasses of varying sizes to buildings to children's toys. The land is uninhabitable, as a curse prevents the soil from growing and sort of sustenance. While many believe that the first Time caster created the respective element here, many are too afraid to get lost in this dreary spot of Paragon.
    
    North of the Tempus Graveyard is the Darklands. It is uncharted territory, and not much else is known about it other than those whom practice the darker aspects seek asylum from the racism of the Lux Territory.
    
    To the South of the Pyrus Territory is Malfore's Peak, where the current Paragon of the land resides. Said to have been shaped by the man himself, his castle can be seen even from the Great Expanse, a looming symbol of dread, as those whom challenge Malfore are never seen again.
  
  
• • Story Mechanics
  • Battle Mechanics

  • 
    
    
    • Interaction: Some parts of the world of Paragon are interactable, be they people, places, or objects. They will typically be highlighted in a specific color to signify their use. Otherwise, objects highlighted in light yellow or light grey signify objects that can be interacted, and objects that need one or more conditions to be met, respectively. If they are in a different color, they may require you to learn a certain magic to get past certain areas.
    
    
    • Grist: The currency of the world of Paragon and the means of creativity, Grist can be gained by doing missions or fighting in battle after battle. They have much more value than gold or any valuable metal, as they can be used in the Occuli Space to learn new spells for your aspects, or even fuse ones you've already learned for stronger magics. While there are the more common Shard Grist that remains a staple of the economy, there are Fire Grist, Water Grist, and the like. Their are 7 Grist types in total.

    • Karma: There will be times in the story where you will be faced with a choice, one that can either make or break your reputation with NPCs and even your teammates. While making good choices will earn you Positive Karma, making a risky or poor decision will gain you Negative Karma. Having a lot of Negative Karma will affect your interactions with other NPCs, and they will be less likely to help you in more dire situations, and not making a choice at all may slash your Karma Meter. It is also much harder to gain Positive Karma, as 10 Positive Karma = 1 Negative Karma on the scale. A rule of thumb is to always try to make the right decision. You'll never know when you might be seeing that person again.
    • Spellbook: Your spellbook is your main source of inventory gathering, be they choosing what spells you have, how much Grist you possess, or your current objective. You Spellbook will automatically update here when you learn a new magic or a gain a new task. BE CAREFUL NOT TO LOSE IT.

    Health: 50% | Magic: 50% | Stamina: 50% | Accuracy: 50%
    ​
    • General: There will be times when you will be forced to fight. In the event that will occur, your battle statistics will show as follows. The combat functions on a Turn-Basis, meaning you will have time to attack or dodge or defend yourself.
      • You are allowed to A.) Perform 1 Attack and 1 Ability, or B.) 2 Attacks of different Types.
      • The Speed stat typically dictates who attacks first regardless of post. However, there are some limitations to this rule
        • If everyone is of equal speed, the quickest Attack or Ability Type goes first, then it relies on whom posted what first.
        • The order of Attack Type is as follows: Transport > Body > Ultimate > Grab / Shield > Blast / Multi > Healing.
        • The order of Ability Type also has a following order: Dodging > Striking > Blocking.
    • Magic/Attacks: The lifeblood of Paragon and they main means of combat, Magic is separated into 9 Types, each with a different function, and dictates battle order. They are dictated by the Mana stat, and use varying amounts accordingly.
      • Contact - Type that deal damage at a close range.
      • Multi-Projectile - Type that fire multiple projectiles at once. Can be devastating if each one hit.
      • Blast - Type that usually fires one large attack.
      • Body - Type that serves to enhance you physical form by providing a buff to yourself or a debuff towards enemies.
      • Area of Effect (AOE) - Type that can usually effect 2 or more targets at once, and useful against groups. It is also unaffected by the turn order, and is dictated soley by the Speed stat alone.
      • Shield - Type that serves to protect you or allies.
      • Transport - Type that assists to get from point A to B. Can also serve as a means of attack or defense.
      • Healing - Type that replenishes your strength.
      • Ultimate - A special type used typically as last resorts. They usually deal a lot of damage at once and are exhausting to use. They also take the longest to cool down.
    • Traits: Traits are more passive abilities that can be used to help you or your party, conditions depending. While you may only carry up to 3 Traits at a time in a battle, they can be exchanged like Attacks when you're out of a fight, and help with prioritization in going into the next fight. Personal Traits, which only affect the equipped user, while the all more uncommon Party Traits, which affect you and your allies, are much harder to come by.
    • Abilities: Abilities are alternate methods of combat in the event where magic use isn't an option. You may either Strike, Dodge, or Defend.
      • Striking is dictated by both the Attack stat and the Stamina stat. Use this to get an extra hit in if need be to either finish an opponent off or to buy time.
      • Dodging is used with the Stamina stat to prevent getting hit by fatal blows. However, needless dodging will eat away at your energy, and will be left defenseless. Only dodge if you need to!
      • Defending is used only by the Defense stat. By guarding, it mitigates an attack by a set percentage. Raising your Defense stat will increase the defense necessary to prevent blows from becoming fatal.
    • HP: The HP stat tells how much strength you have left, and you lose the battle if the counter hits 0. HP can be raised by leveling up the Health stat so you may start a fight with more health, and to give you an edge. You automatically regain 100 HP per post if you do not get hurt during a turn, but will not gain any HP if your counter hit 0.
    • Mana: The Mana stat tells you how much reserve power you have for magic and is dictated by the Magic stat. It is used exclusively for Magic Attacks. If the counter reaches 0, you will not be able to use any magic until some is replenished. You automatically regain 100 Mana per post if you do not use magic during a turn.
    • Stamina: The Stamina stat is ruled by both it's own leveling stat and the Speed stat. It is used for Dodging and Striking. Without any, you cannot Strike or Dodge until you rest. You automatically regain 10 Stamina per post by doing so.
    • Accuracy: The Accuracy stat helps with attacking and hitting targets. the more accuracy you have, the easier it is to land hits or dish out criticals. While it normally doesn't raise or lower by regular means, there are certain attacks that could lower one's accuracy. You automatically regain 10 Accuracy per post over time.

  • Rex Valin - A middle-class male with a sharp tongue and even shaper instincts. He entered Paragon out of boredom and a means to escape reality. He may come off as rude during any initial conversation, but underneath the blunt facade is a young man who cares for the people he cherishes, and willing to go the extra mile to help others out.
  
  
  • Raelyn Hayes - A troublemaker who enjoys being the center of attention. While being well-endowed, she never truly fit and was moved from foster home to foster home. She entered Paragon to become the hero of her own story. She's flirtatious, and while she has a knack for sometimes attracting the wrong attention at the wrong time, Raelyn isn't a bad girl and if she decides she likes you, isn't hard to be friends with.
  
  
  • Evie Callaway - Daughter of a powerful and upcoming politician. Sensitive, focused, patient, and likes to be around others. She came to Paragon out of eagerness. While a little reserved at times, she always puts the needs of others before herself.
  
  
  • Gale Hawkens - An amiable male and gets along quite well with peers. He came to Paragon for confidence. While he is typically self-conscious of what others think of him, he has a kind heart and is honest to a fault.
  
  
  • Jasmine Fader - A social women with a knack for the arts and a bloodline of gaming. Though shy, she's charismatic and cheerful, and she's overall a caring individual. She came to Paragon as a means of reinvigoration to her love of gaming. She enjoys losing herself in her own personas of the characters she plays and the characters she makes for the various games she plays.
  
  
  • Inna - A flamboyant male with a large need for self-expression. He came to Paragon as a means of release. While flirtatious enough to get a reaction out of others, he's aware of the boundaries that are made by others, and underneath his charm lies a man conscious of himself and others.
  
  
  • Uncle Dot - One of the 3 AIs that monitor Paragon. Dot is in charge with managing players. Calculating, posh, but tender, Dot is nothing short of a turquoise marshmallow. However, he abhors violence and tends to remain as a neutral party, despite his willingness to help players, be they good or evil.
•

  • Outer Slabs - Slang referring to the outer territories not connected to the 4 main ones, including the Tempus Graveyard, Darklands, and Malfore's peak.
