Digital Dungeons:
Either in the privacy of your own home, or in Digital Lounges throughout the city, players utilize Digital Rooms for online play. These are primarily empty rooms covered in bright CGI green screens, with a large projection screen covering the entire forward facing wall.

In the middle of the room is suspended animation gear, with a large computer behind. The ceiling is a library shelf of different gaming worlds. On the right is typically an entrance and on the left is an exit door.

Each Player is usually equipped with a hard drive "bag" and a weapon holster on each hip. A user is dressed in a gray spandex suit studded with motion capture markers. They also wear smart lenses and a "head rig", a tight life cast helmet and a laser scan equipped with a carbon fiber arm holding four tiny cameras and little LED lights less than a foot away from the players face. The user's eyes and facial expressions are recorded via 52 Motion capture dots drawn on the face. A user may also utilize a pitch modulator to change their voice within gameplay.

This is the way Players control their avatars.

Create a Character in CGI Marketplace
Begin by submitting 2D Concept art in an animation ready file, rotating 30 frames per second to map out character into model, or by submitting a clay manikin model to 3D Scan into a high density file.
3D Polygons and 3D verses create shape and mass of this subject.
Export as a model to create Mesh out of high poly into 3D.
Create texturing phase by mapping out coordinates into 2D space.
Paint with airbrush details, light reaction material.
Render 2D coordinates onto 3D model.
Add accessories, clothes, hair, or any particle effects (such as snakes for hair or a constant stream of drool).
Create bone structure animation.

It is in this way each character comes to life within the Digital Realm.

Each player controls their character within Digital Rooms. However, in the real world, characters wear their gaming gear and carry mobile gaming consoles throughout their everyday lives, and local franchises have both digital and natural wares for purchase.

(( Saved for my sanity...
Backstory:

In the year 2020, the world is knocked back into the dark ages by a massive electromagnetic pulse. No one is certain if it was an act of God or man, but all electronics were rendered useless and the expected apocalyptic fear response broke out. Some argued that it was caused by a massive geomagnetic storm created by coronal mass ejections (or solar flares), others claimed one of Earth's maniacs or tyrannical leaders dropped an EMP Bomb to destroy the planet as we knew it... Whatever happened, that blast wave bent and snapped the magnetic field lines of our planet. This wasn't the first time it had happened... We learned this lesson the hard way during the 1859 Carrington Event. That's when our then-newfangled electrical systems shocked telegraph operators, shot sparks out of pylons, and lit papers on fire.

These twenty-first century aberrant currents overloaded, destructed and fried out all our most coveted modern technologies, including satellites and cellphone communication. Witnesses account to seeing a gigantic ball of flames hundreds of miles in the distance. Scientists today claim that we could expect this magnitude of solar activity once every one- to two-hundred years...

Within hours, mild radiation sickness took over: vomiting, diarrhea, fatigue... Exposure to lethal doses led to a 10-35% drop in the population within a month, beginning with rapid hair loss and ending in heart failure. The Earth suffered nuclear winter, and the whole world just went bananas without their Edison pacifiers of choice. As the radiation cleared, the much anticipated looting and rioting took place. Crime and general anarchy reigned steadily for its time before subsiding into order. During that time, populations plummeted, nations combined, copper wires and precious minerals were stripped and smelted, and the world fell into a currency of metals for its day. (Metallic currency is still used, but primarily the world runs on RFID bits within a New Digital Age.) Various stages of recovery swept the world into a Tesla-like Utopian Nation of wireless free energy and data.

It is in this world that our story takes place.))

(ooc: Boss character on reserve)

Office of User Registry:
Enter an ordinary office; desk with a cute IT Officer in a pencil skirt in tow. If a User were to lower their Smart Lenses, however, they would see an empty green room. Point-Dexter clears her throat as the Player refocus into the lenses...

"Left arm...Please." She says with amused conceit, as she extends her right hand to grasp the Users wrist. In her left hand is an RFID Chip Scanner, which she passes over the Players left thumb... "Ah yes......."

User: Sir_Unos

The Player removes his long black trench coat and hat and places them on a nearby coat rack. Beneath he wears a tight, gray spandex suit with thousands of motion capture markers, like chain mail flexing around his muscular body. On his hands were stylus gloves and a single opal ring. He wore heavy combat boots, and tightly grasped a sapphire walking cane. Covering his face was a gray ski mask printed with 52 white motion capture dots, and his Smart Lenses were bulging red tinted shades.

"Right this way...." She leads further into the room as the desk morphs into an examination table and the walls blend into typical hospital room decor. "Sit, please."

After a quick measuring, the IT Officer dotes out of the room. With a smart glace up, a User could see she is now sporting a tight little nurses' outfit, creeping up the back. She promptly returns pushing a cart full of supplies, and makes quick work of fitting a life cast upon the Player's head. As she finishes setting the mold, she coyly asks if there might be anything she could do to help pass the time while it dries...

With a quick wink, she asks "I trust you have your Concept File ready?"

Her low cut blouse brushes the Player's lips as she lifts the life cast off of their head, and sets it upon her cart. With a noticeable swing to her step, she exits the room and leaves the User to upload their Concept Files into the CGI Database.

(Artwork Credit to: My Time Here)

"Your Head-Rig is ready, Sir." The help returns, this time sporting a lab coat over a tight mini-skirt. She carefully places the horned helmet upon the Users head.

The silver head gear had six twisted horns jutting out. Two forward-facing horns twisted forward to hold a laser scanner equipped with four tiny cameras and several LED lights in front of the Users face. The remaining four horns allowed for 360* Vision projected into Sir_Unos's Smart Lenses. Covering the Player's ears were two mock Demonic ears, fitted with headphones within.

"Here is your Personal Gaming Console." She said as the User resuited into his hat and trench coat. "You are now online!"

The walls of the room adjusted into the projection of Sir_Unos as other Users would now see him.

Sir_Unos

Sir_Unos exits the Office of User Registry without a second glance and enters into the CGI Marketplace. There he haggles his way through a few transactions.

First, he equips himself with a standard detectionless utility belt, which he immediately clips the Personal Gaming Console to. Next he obtains a 4 Terabyte hard drive and fixes into the detection shield. Finally he exhausts his budget with a few necessities: various short- and long-range weapons and ammo, a few revival units, and a couple specialty items that happened to spark his interest.

The streets are filled with other gamers browsing the available wares and upgrades. Sir_Unos breaks away from the crowd and disappears into a dark Digital Lounge.

There are several players in the lobby, hooked into the Suspended Animation gear and shrouded by green screen drapes. Sir_Unos enters an available booth and scans the RFID Chip on his left hand and accepts the credit charge.

He looks up into the Library and scans the constellations of Gaming Worlds...

(Ooc: My registered character, a more typical player in this world.)



Office of User Registry:
Enter an ordinary office; desk with a cute IT Officer in a pencil skirt in tow. If a User were to lower their Smart Lenses, however, they would see an empty green room. Point-Dexter clears her throat as the Player refocus into the lenses...

Feeling easily startled, the Player jumped slightly at the voice within the ear piece.

"Left arm...Please." She says with amused conceit, as she extends her right hand to grasp the Users wrist. In her left hand is an RFID Chip Scanner, which she passes over the Players left thumb... "Ah yes......."

User: Babylonian_Whore

Elleinar aggressively tugged her hand away from the scanner as her face flushed with embarrassed rage.

"Babylonian_Whore?!!" She thought frantically...That could only be the work of her previous husband. "Thanks..."

With a deep breath, Elleinar slowly removes her long black silk robe and drapes it upon the coat rack. Beneath she wears a tight, gray spandex suit with thousands of motion capture markers catching the light like a suit of scales wrapped around her slender form.

She pulled the standard stylus gloves over her hands, glaring at the empty left ring finger. She wore dark eyeliner and had 52 white motion capture dots drawn across her face. The Player wore black slip-ons upon her feet and her Smart Lenses were brown cheetah print shades.

"Right this way...." She leads further into the room as the desk morphs into an examination table and the walls blend into typical hospital room decor. "Sit, please."

After a quick measuring, the IT Officer dotes out of the room. With a smart glace up, a User could see she is now sporting a tight little nurses' outfit, creeping up the back.

Elleinar scoffed and rolled her eyes. "No wonder he spent so much time here..." She verbalized the sting.

She promptly returns pushing a cart full of supplies, and makes quick work of fitting a life cast upon the Player's head. As she finishes setting the mold, she coyly asks if there might be anything she could do to help pass the time while it dries...

"I'm good, thanks." Elleinar replied to the Program in a huff. She just wanted to get this over with.

With a quick wink, she asks "I trust you have your Concept File ready?"

Her low cut blouse brushes the Player's lips as she lifts the life cast off of their head, and sets it upon her cart. With a noticeable swing to her step, she exits the room and leaves the User to upload their Concept Files into the CGI Database.

"Unbelievable..." Elleinar thought aloud as she entered the CGI database.
