Introducing: Unplugged
A queer futuristic portal fantasy, set in the same universe as Early Adopter
The Story:
Unplugged follows three protagonists as they try to navigate the game world they're trapped in. That fateful day started like any other, yet took a dramatic turn when they were unable to log out or reach their AI assistants. Other normal features, such as fast travel, or leaving the gaming corner of the VR, were disabled.
All players were forced into one safe zone, a city named Wolefin. Stronger players prevent the weaker and solo players from leaving the area, and other players are content to stay in the city and wait for rescue.
But there are players who want to avoid stagnation and see what lies beyond their virtual prison, and this common goal binds them together.
The Players:
- Eisbaer (she/her)
- Resident vampire fan and artist, primarily of pottery and miniatures.
- Mage; provides support and heals with the aide of her familiars.
- Saffron (it/he)
- Furry; avatar is a tall wolf with red fur. Has big himbo energy.
- More of a bruiser and relies on claws, fangs, and blunt instruments.
- Vallens (ve/vem)
- The grumpy necromancer. Utilizes strong offensive magic with some healing and revival spells.
- Ver familiar is a skeletal panther named Françoise.
