I already made this in another guild, but I figured I might as well do it here, too. sweatdrop You don't have to read the background story, but please read the room description.
I'd like to note that Internet searches have revealed that both NeuroTech and Solid Software are names of real companies. However, I like the names, so the companies in the story are fictional and not related to the real ones.
Also, I made it a sticky JUST BECAUSE I CAN.
The Background Story (reading is optional):
In the year 2015, a company by the name of NeuroTech developed a sophisticated system of machines that could sync with the brain and nervous system, giving the illusion of anything programmed into the machine. It was able to stimulate every sense known to man. They called it the Neuro-Stimulation Illusory System, or the NSIS. Customization controls could allow for a certain, limited, amount of pain to be felt, or none at all.
After several military-training applications over the next few years, NeuroTech teamed up with Solid Software to produce a new type of gaming system in 2018, far superior to the holographic virtual-reality consoles on the market. However, the companies formed a new invention soon after the release of the NSIS gaming system. It was called the Dream Engine.
The DE could be installed via the Internet onto the NSIS, and would read any surface thought processes to form a simulation based upon what Solid Software called "your personal dreams and fantasies". Due to the fluidity of a person's thoughts, often this simulation would need to be moderated and maintained by an artificial intelligence program. These were, of course, susceptible to parental controls. People could also create "rooms" over the Internet where other players could join in a large simulation, though these were usually less-supervised.
Controversy arose as several people began producing violent, graphic, or sexual fantasies across the web. However, Solid Software maintained that "we people are entitled to our dreams, and to say otherwise is not only infringing upon our freedom, but also our humanity."
Solid Software did, however, enact several filtering policies, and required any simulation rooms to be rated based on content.
The Room (please read):
On the Internet was a room called GTS 01, which was hailed as the most well-maintained room by its participants. However, its catering to macrophiles eventually brought censorship law down on it hard, and it was disconnected.
However, a young and brilliant Net-surfer by the username of Zion brought a copy of the room back to life, though he installed more "decency protocols" which prevented anything overly graphic from being processed. He then opened the room to the public as the world's most highly-developed giantess fantasy. Any female characters would be allowed to change size at whim, though he balanced this by allowing some other characters, especially himself, to have mods and abilities.
Respawning (coming back after dying) is allowed, and pain settings are at 1%. However, the body would react completely accurately. Basically, if you're hurt, your body will react the exact same way it would normally, though you'd only feel one-hundredth of the pain.
PROFILES:
Please send a profile to me via PM, so I can post it here. Copy and paste this form and fill it out. More weapons may be picked up by a character in-game, though don't go saying you found an assault rifle buried in the ground. Keep it realistic.

CURRENT STATE OF SIMULATION ROOM:
The room's general settings may change from time to time, if altered by the room-maker (me). However, I won't change time periods, so as to avoid weapon confusion. Everything will take place in a slightly-futuristic setting (the year 201 cool , though advanced technology might not always be present. I will make a poll that asks people to give input on a possible change in setting. Feel free to also express ideas OOC during the RP, or PM them to me.
Current State:
The simulation is in a rolling countryside expanse, without any large or clustered populations nearby. The temperature is mildly warm and the weather is clear and sunny. The area mostly consists of plains and meadows, but there is a decent-sized deciduous-and-evergreen forest near the "edge" of the accessible area. A large and deep lake is on the other side of the map and covers about half of it all.
