Affiliated Terms
Affiliated Terms are not classes, but are terms given to some characters to tell what they are. This is separated into two parts for The World and The World R:2 even though both of those games are fused on this RPG
The World
- Game Masters: Game Master (GM) is a title used by CC Corp employees, giving them the ability to maintain events and perform administrative duties.
- Cobalt Knights: A team of system administrators who hunt down Vagrant A.I. and delete them. The first known leader was Albireo. Later the group was led by Kamui. Formed from the remnants of the Crimson Knights, and possessed much more power.
- Illegal Character: A character that has been illegally edited via hacking.
- NPC: Stands for non-playable characters. These are just programs that are used in shops. Most or all of their dialogue is scripted and they perform very limited functions.
- Player Killer: [aka PK] A PK is like a serial killer who for whatever reason purposefully kills other player characters.
- Rare Hunters: Characters that like collecting rare items. Some may be obsessed with collecting rare items. Some own a special rare room for storing their items because it holds more than the storage in the NPCs. It is dishonorable for them to knowingly accept cheat items.
- System Administrator: Players that are in charge of protecting the world. They delete any hackers, cheaters and wandering A.I. Some are also in charge of setting up events for players to play.
- Vagrant / Wandering AI: Corrupted or illegal programs that have achieved a state of pseudo-existence within The World. They are hunted by system administrators who delete them in their debugging duties. A parallel may be drawn between them and Rampant AI. Most of the known Vagrant AI are, unbeknownst to game staff, part of the system itself.
The World R:2
- AIDA: AIDA stands for Artificially Intelligent Data Anomaly
- Player Killer: Characters that prefer to kill players for fun. Also, some like to kill them to steal their items to add to their collection. Many like PKing newbies because they're pushovers and easy targets.
- Player Killer Killer: [aka PKK] PKKs are players that kill PKs. They sometimes kill PKs for revenge or to protect others. Many state that PKKers are no different from PKers, and are looked down upon just as much as PKs, sometimes even more, as they do little but cause further instability among the player community.
- Guildmaster: The leader and usually creator of a particular Guild. Guildmasters control Guild shops and have their own Grunty which takes on their master's characteristics and assists in the running of the Guild.
- AIDA-PC: AIDA-PCs are PCs that have been infected by an AIDA in one form or another. The AIDA affects the Player mentally as a result of its infection, and can also have a number of side-effects within the game.
