CLOUD terminology
Spoiler:
CLOUD (雲 Kumo) was created by Mamoru Hosoda, a computer programming graduate from the Tokyo Institute of Technology with colleagues Masayuki Miyaji, Hiroyuki Imaishi and Kazuki Akane, and launched on December 21st, 2012 as a social networking site. Originally, the site was only available to Japanese high schools, colleges and universities but after its unexpected popularity which resulted in the site's crash due to traffic a week after its launch, it was opened to the public on May 15th, 2013. Its ability to connect and bring people together despite the cultural boundaries appealed to the masses and by the end of 2014, CLOUD celebrated the registration of its one millionth member.
On its 100 million member milestone in January of 2018, CLOUD evolved from a site to a universe -- opening itself as a digital world which members could roam and explore, with more user-friendly options and made accessible and usable for members of all ages.
Since its launch in 2012, CLOUD has never been successfully hacked or broken into, though has suffered its fair share of crashes thanks to traffic. CLOUD has scheduled downtime every season for two days and has done so since its launch, with the exception of downtime for preparation of special events, such as Christmas, New Years or Anniversary celebrations.

the capital - CIRRUS

Spoiler:
CIRRUS is located in the very centre of CLOUD and the most popular spot, hosting the online shopping mall known as CLOUDLAND and the ACID arena. All new members start with their DAEMON in one of the friendly online lobbies inside CLOUDLAND and may explore from there. Knocked out players from anywhere in the CLOUD universe also respawn here. The lounge is a bustling social hotspot where many members meet up to socialise and communicate.
The ACID arena hosts a number of sports and battles, ranging from harmless friendly sparring to fierce competitions where DAEMONs seemingly fight to the death for the chance to win exclusive items, credits and real-life money and enter the CLOUD hall of fame. Though the battles seem to be the most popular, the ACID arena also holds many sporting competitions, including tennis, basketball, baseball and even placid sports like chess.
CLOUDLAND holds almost every single store known to man with the option of buying for yourself or your DAEMON. In some instances, shops offer the option to cross buy so you and your DAEMON can look fabulous together.
As CLOUDLAND is the centre of CLOUD, it also has a teleportation service which sends DAEMONs across the globe instantly at the click of a button. CIRRUS was also the first area to be opened to the public at the launch of the universe world in January of 2018.

the wilderness - STORM
Spoiler:
STORM is the a Player vs Player (PvP) area boasting highly dense rainforests, deep caves and maze-like dungeons. Not only is this a PvP area where players can attack each other, but monsters spawn inside the dungeon areas, growing in level the higher or lower a dungeon goes. There are four dungeons which exist in STORM: BLIZZARD, a rough, mountainous area which grows colder and harder to see the more floors are progressed, HAIL, a thick rainforest which slowly gives more damage the more floors are progressed, SANDSTORM, a desert-turned-volcano which slowly gives more damage, becomes hotter and becomes harder to see the more floors are progressed and FOG, a dark cave which becomes harder to see the more floors are progressed. These dungeons are no cake walks and it is highly suggested to bring a party of players to help defeat the monsters inside them. Bringing other players though also brings the risk of friendly fire, griefing or theft whilst exploring.
At the end of each floor lies a mini-boss and at the end of the dungeon, a mega-boss. By clearing a dungeon, you are given exclusive items as a prize and sometimes on the off chance, a secret item. The amount of floors in a dungeon differs every time so it's hard to predict how long one can be in a dungeon. The lowest amount of floors recorded is 1 and the highest is 1046. It's all random!
STORM also has a city known as MIST located away from the dungeons where members can craft items using loot and spoils as well as a NPC run market and a DAEMON run market. The two are next to each other and are usually bustling with players, selling off rare items to other DAEMONS.
As CIRRUS holds the official ACID arena for sponsored battles and sports, MIST has an unofficial arena, known as the BASE arena, for a different sort of battling. Many treat this arena as a 'cockfight' arena, where players can bet on others and the rules are more lax than its official counterpart. As STORM is a PvP area, battles here result in defeat and DAEMONs armour is damaged, are forced to drop half their held coin and are sent back to the CIRRUS lounges for respawn.
STORM is a dangerous area and is not for new players or the weak hearted.

the downtown - ALTO (18+)
Spoiler:
ALTO is where the business sides of things take place, holding an internal stock market for companies which work both inside and outside of CLOUD. Many who reside here work for CLOUD or are an entrepreneur hosting their business through CLOUD have their DAEMON use the facilities here. Members have the opportunity to work for CLOUD depending on their real-life skills. CLOUD is constantly looking for programmers who are willing to re-write old coding, administration to take care of digital filing, cleaning and answering calls and mathematicians to test the encryption code and redevelop it, if necessary.
ALTO also hosts the famous casino known as the LIGHTNING dome where members can enjoy games such as roulette, blackjack or poker and can bet CLOUD credits or real money and play against other members. Exclusive items can also be won through these casino games and championships, similar to the ACID arena, are held and can attract an audience in the thousands. Players can also gamble on battles in the ACID and BASE arena, but manipulating the results is a zero-tolerated offence.
ALTO is an 18+ area only and therefore members who are under 18 years are forbidden to enter. Attempts to enter by under 18 year olds will send players back to CIRRUS.

T H E ☠ P I R A T E S (leader: ) -- created by Dragon
Daemonhead is the most populated guild in CLOUD, almost reaching 500 000 active members. Daemonhead exists mainly to form easy parties when taking on dungeons. Though revelled to be one of the best fighters around, silver, whose DAEMON is a bipedal, silver panther, is rarely seen by normal members. The only ones who see him on frequent occasions are his subordinates.
Cloud Nine - (leader: SUPERulul & popesMAgotes) 150 251 active members
Cloud Nine is a market guild, working in collecting rare items and selling them off for outrageous prices. If a DAEMON is in a marketplace selling off rare and exclusive items, you can be sure its a member of Cloud Nine. The guild works more as a place of employment than a guild, as members earn commission from items. SUPERulul, whose DAEMON is a cyborg, pink rabbit is said to deal with thieves herself, boasting a kick which can reduce even a high level veteran's health down to zero. SUPERulul is also known as the richest member in CLOUD. Her second in charge, popesMAgotes, whose DAEMON is a floating sun, is talented in the art of manipulation and can barter millions off an item.
The SENATE - (leader: CaPTAINkickass & gogobogo) 190 589 active members
The SENATE is a fighters guild who focus on levelling up their DAEMONs, building skills and techniques for fighting in either the ACID arena or the BASE arena. They also promote betting and usually are bookmarkers or bookies before a fight starts. Their leader, CaPTAINkickass, whose DAEMON is a humanoid pig, is the current champion of the BASE arena (but surprisingly not the ACID arena) and an exceptionally harsh trainer, but the best. Though he prefers not to, CaPTAINkickass is an exceptional DUNGEON MASTER, when he decides to play. His right-hand DAEMON, gogobogo, whose DAEMON is a bipedal giraffe with boxing gloves, is rumoured to be even stronger than CaPTAINkickass but refuses to fight, instead teaches the potential new members who come into the guild.
Cushions - (leader: godspelledbackward, reXXy & rippedShadows) 489 563 active members
Cushions is a social guild which often takes in members new to CLOUD. Though they don't battle much (sometimes, depending on the occasion), their guild events usually consist of going to CLOUDLANDS to shop together, seeing an event together, watching movies together or just hanging out in CLOUDLANDS lounge. godspelledbackward, whose DAEMON is a humanish-dog-centaur, reXXy, whose DAEMON is a small, cute dragon and rippedShadows, whose DAEMON is a human with crazy, blonde anime hair and a pair of goggles are known a inseparable trio and are considered very approachable and the friendliest members in CLOUD. Cushions is also most known for their IRL events, which can attract media attention and have broken a few records of most known people in one area.
Heirs of Sunlight - (leader: Shaka Shaman & Hype Viper) 99 904 active members -- created by Lt. Col. Fantastic
Micah started a guild on other social media outlets and video games due to his growing fan base. It revolved around a guild he was in during high school, before the fame, which was based on Solopaganism. He transferred it over to cloud once it became popular enough.
Basically, Micah and some of his more faithful followers claim to worship a sun god, but nobody is quite sure if he is serious or not. The clan is mainly a social one, with most of its members being fans of his. Micah and his closer friends play competitive matches on STORM for fun, though usually games are subject to Micah's 'trolling' on stream. Since 2015 they've had their own booth at Digifest, PAX, and several smaller conventions where fans could meet famous members and buy merchandise. Micah himself goes to all of the biggest conventions and likes to meet fans in other countries especially. As for Hype Viper, she's more of the event organizer and Micah's life coach. Her boyfriend Reggie and she live with Micah. As a childhood friend of Micah's, she makes sure he stays in line and proof edits all of his videos before publishing them on YouTube. She's also been known to cut off his stream when Micah drinks too much, to some fans disappointment and some's relief.

GENSOKYO - (leader: Yukari Yakumo) -- created by machomuu
Based off of the fictional setting of the popular Touhou Project series, Gensokyo is an exapnsive guild that puts emphasis on recreating its namesake.There are several Touhou Project related guilds, and Gensokyo isn't the first, but it is the most popular. Run by an early user of the game, Yukari Yakumo, Gensokyo is unique because of how large it is. The guild is made up of several sects, each run by a ranking member of the guild. The HUMAN VILLAGE is the center of trade in the guild, and it deals its materials to those who are both members of the guild and those who aren't. The Human Village is run by maXis (goes by his nickname, Rinnosuke when the guild is concerned) and mostly exists for the sake of expanding the borders of Touhou's popularity. They sell games, clothing, weapons, and the like to supplement such a goal. The MAKAI is for those who want to delve into the several available dungeons that exist in Gensokyo, run by Patchi and the creator of the guild herself, Yukari Yakumo.
In fact, it is because of how expansive the recreation of fictional world is, both in organizational structure and in concept, that it garners such popularity. It also helps that some of the higher ups in the guild have namesakes from the series that their names hail from, which makes for both good advertising and an official aesthetic. But what makes the MAKAI. Yakumo is renowned for the detail and accuracy of her dungeon design, and as such it does well to attract Touhou fans and non-fans alike, just for the chance to challenge Gensokyo's depths.

T H E ☠ P I R A T E S (leader: ) -- created by Dragon
T H E ☠ P I R A T E S is a guild made for people who lust for treasure and plunder, while getting all they can drink. This guild's primary focus is to treasure hunt for the most prodigious valuables they can muster - from money to extremely rare items. They even travel to lands that people would not normally be foolish enough to enter; from unexplored charters, to the most barren and hostile lands. Lack of these particular lands are a problem, but T H E ☠ P I R A T E S will push on until they have explored all the lands they can muster up. On certain days, older members of T H E ☠ P I R A T E S travel to the downtown - ALTO to play on the famous casino; their favourite games includes blackjack, the roulette, and the casino slots. Not just anyone can join though - only those who are cunning, yet strong and devious enough are the only ones made to join this particular guild. However, if one does fit these descriptions, then it doesn't matter how old you are - prepare for a guild full of life, and excitement!
CLOUD terminology
Spoiler:
LENSES - a technology as common as cellphones and in the process of replacing them. Introduced in 2015, Lenses are a chip-based technology that create a Heads Up Display (HUD) in front of your own eyes with a chip inserted into your arm and on the back of the skull. The HUD is activated with a flick of the wrist (but can be customised) and are commonplace among the first world countries. Used commonly among business workers as an organisation and communication tool, Lenses can also access CLOUD and do simple tasks such as messaging users and shopping. A person using Lenses is distinguished by a green circle around their irises.
VIRTUAL REALITY - Introduced first in the gaming world in 2008, virtual reality (VR) is now a common way to play video games or experience simulations. At first, VR was merely helmets which projected 3D images, but now they interfere with the human brain to experience a 'full-dive' -- true virtual reality. Cloud uses this technology (their own helmet known as the DREAMSCAPE) as their recommended form if technology for online play.
CLASSES - The form of job/class system within the world of CLOUD, primarily used in the RPG part. Classes are not necessarily dictated by a title, but by the items that are carried dictate the class.
SPHERES - Also known as sph and the ingame form of currency. Some also refer to it as credits, but spheres is the correct terminology. Spheres can be bought with real world money and transferred back, albeit with conversion charges and not a lot earned from a fair amount of spheres. It's best just to keep it on your CLOUD account and buy something ingame.
New terms will be added as necessary

CLOUD and you
posted june 18th, 2014

Spoiler:
It is May of 2025 and like every other person on the globe, you have a unique DAEMON and a CLOUD account. Maybe it's something you check every now and again or maybe you live and breathe CLOUD but whatever it is, it's something that has definitely become part of your daily life. Actually, you can't really remember how you connected with your friends without it.
During the past month, rumours of a new update to CLOUD have been spiralling about the internet. It's not unusual for the forums to go crazy at each new update, speculating what new content might be added but this chatter speaks of something different -- an update to CLOUD that could change not only the way we play, but the way we live. The server emails have confirmed the new update and released a world-wide announcement:
On the build up to the 25th, rumours have been bouncing around what the announcement could be, both online and offline. In fact, it made national news. You, as a CLOUD member, are probably excited about the announcement too and have been keeping up-to-date with all the theories going around. One of the weirdest ones you've heard is that if you log in between 00:00 and 00:01 (JST) a week before the announcement, you'll get to see a sneak peek of what it could be. Since you're pretty game and can't wait to see what this announcement will be, you give it a shot.
As soon as you log in, you can't see anything on your screen. Then, the room lights up and you can see that you must be inside one of the sports arenas in the grandstands, which is slowly filling up with other players who also wanted to test the rumour. There's gotta be hundreds of thousands of player present, perhaps even millions. It's hard to tell.
There's a digital timer hovering in the middle of the arena and when it counts to zero, it's 00:01 (JST) and the lights dim. One more player logs in, appearing directly in the center of the arena. You've never seen the DAEMON (a large, red, bipedal dragon in rare looking robes) or heard of this player's username before but by the looks of them, they seem very important. The stadium goes quiet and the DAEMON speaks:
At the mention of a secret item, you are sent a message from the user ICARUS with one item attached; a silver key with your username etched into the side. The teeth of the key seem individual to you as a quick glance to either side of you confirms that the person next to you has a slightly different key.
ICARUS logs out and you too are forced back to the login screen.

You've never seen the DAEMON (a large, red, bipedal dragon in rare looking robes) or heard of this player's username before but by the looks of them, they seem very important. The stadium goes quiet and the DAEMON speaks:
"Greetings, players! My real name is not important, but you may call be by my username, ICARUS. As you may already know, the brand new update for CLOUD will soon be here. Many have been excited about the news of a 'revolution' and your enthusiasm is not in vain. Tonight's announcement grants all users present a secret item and a hint at what the new update will be."
At the mention of a secret item, you are sent a message from the user ICARUS with one item attached; a silver key with your username etched into the side. The teeth of the key seem individual to you as a quick glance to either side of you confirms that the person next to you has a slightly different key.
"CLOUD has always affected our lives in a positive way and it's time to take the online experience to the real world. Or is it time to take it the other way around? It really depends on how you use CLOUD. Whatever the case, this new revolution will change the way you perceive the world around you, both on and offline. That is all I will reveal. Have a nice morning, day, night and evening."
ICARUS logs out and you too are forced back to the login screen.

the rules of CLOUD
- This roleplay is rated T for Teen.
- Never think you are not good enough to do anything. This is not an 'advanced' or 'experienced' roleplay. This is an opportunity to go nuts with creativity. The world will be an open one so you have all the space you need to do anything you want.
- But please, keep things reasonable and somewhat realistic. I will warn you if you are overstepping boundaries, however.
- Never god mod, powerplay or bunny without proper permission.
- Activity is compulsory. Do not join if you don't think you have the time.
- Always be respectful of your fellow player.
- This roleplay is set in the future. If there are technologies that may exist that you want to include, be sure to ask.
- There may be instances where I will tell you if something is not allowed. Please be kind and considerate with any requests I may throw at you.
- There also may be instances where I give vital information to other players to post. It is important to read as much as you can before writing your own post.
- If you have any questions about anything, feel free to ask.
- Most of all, good luck and have fun. :)
