Welcome to Terra RP

Terra RP is a roleplay set in the year 2026. Technological advances have made it possible for you to fully immerse yourself in games, letting you experience virtual worlds as though you were there.

If you enjoy series such as Sword Art Online, .hack, Log Horizon, Fire Emblem, Grimgar of Fantasy and Ash, etc, this is the roleplay for you!

Story

In a world of virtual reality gaming, heavy regulation by local authorities ensure the safety of the players by restricting certain harmful aspects of full dive technology. Physical pain, mental trauma, and overexertion were among those deemed hazardous to its users, and their removal from games made full immersion an impossibility - for better or worse.

As the virtual reality consumer base grew sick and tired of the continuous regulation, rumors of an unregulated online game called Terrasphere started to circulate around the internet. According to these rumors, this game the game possessed none of the limitations imposed on others, providing players with the opportunity to fully immerse themselves in its world. But because Terrasphere was not a commercial product, the only way to access the game was to download the client from a seemingly glitched email sent by a unknown individual.

In response, Virtual Regulation and Safety Authorities around the world warned people not to connect to the game, claiming that it was dangerous. However, many people had already shared the client in secret and began to join the game in droves. When the game was finally outlawed, information and discussion about it started to take root on underground message boards and private networks.

Did you get an email from an unknown sender? Or did someone you know give you a copy of the illusive client?

Roleplay

Storyline TerraRP's main storyline is split into seasons (1, 2, 3, etc), which last a few months, allowing the story to progress at a steady pace. Because each season tend to have self-contained story, it is easy to jump in and involve yourself in the RP without knowing the story of past seasons.

RP Modes TerraRP has two primary modes of RP, one involving dice and freeform. If you see any wiki page discussing mechanics, know that it's for the dice-based types of threads. Below is the explanation for each.

Dice Roll
Threads or events ran by a Dungeon Master (DM) often use dice because they add unpredictability to the combat and story, and they also enhance combat. Some of these threads include things such as: story events, dungeons, world boss encounters.

Outside of these threads, we don't allow members to come up with their own dice-rolling system because they don't have the authority to enforce those rules.
Free Form
Most of the threads you do on the site will be without dice. You can be as creative as you want in these threads!

In combat, you and your partner(s) should determine how the fight progress like any other freeform RP.
