It was a warm night when the Cervid star shower lit up the dark. Bright, heavenly bodies moved swiftly across the sky and signaled the passing of spring into summer for the people of Sedaia. For many, from the highest of noblemen to the most humble of peasants, summer was a pleasant and peaceful season. With the transition from winter well over and the year's crops planted, Sedians from all walks of life used the time to perfect their craft, enjoy themselves, or go traveling. The capital of Haydrin's Seat was a particularly popular destination as the country prepared for it's annual Celebration of Kings.
And you too are about to undertake your own journey...
...but it may not be pleasant or peaceful.

"Windfall" is a story about many stories. A group of travelers, each with their own goal in mind, will come together and discover that they have more in common than they might have thought. This will be a completely character-driven RP - as characters move toward their goals, the world will move with them. This is heavily inspired by the JRPG Octopath Traveler, although it won't take place in the same world. I will be playing your GM and general "world mover," and I will have a hand in how your character's story goes - but so will every other player. More on that later.
The setting is the fictional, fantasy country of Sedaia. It is, again, heavily inspired by Octopath's own setting:
Our characters' journeys will span the length of the country as they chase their personal objectives. When you create a character, be sure to give them a concrete goal to work towards and the drive to see the journey through. You will provide their reason for traveling, while the rest of the players (and myself) decide how your character's story will go without your direct input.
Everyone will have a say in how everyone else's story plays out.
This way, the continuation of your character's story and how it relates to other characters' stories can come as surprise. Don't worry, included in the character sheet will be spots to mark general feel you want your story to follow, what topics you want to avoid, how much danger you'd like your story to involve, etc. No one is going to suddenly be facing something they would hate to have to write out (hopefully).
One thing I'll note is to please keep in mind that we want characters willing to travel with one another, even if they start out as strangers. Mysterious lone wolf types are cool and welcome, so long as they are willing to group up. Drama, arguments, etc. are sure to happen between characters, but eventually I'd like for them to come together as friends.
The most important thing I want to get across is while everyone has individual goals, the plan is for strangers to come together and bond and help each other achieve said goals.

Looking for a group of between 6-8 interested people! Feel free to ask questions!

Extra Setting Info:
- More in-depth world info and map will be provided with the OOC
- Humans are the only sentient race
- Magic and monsters will be present in the setting, more on that with the OOC
- Magic will be relatively simple though, think elemental spells for the most part
Extra RP Info:
- I prefer a relaxed OOC feel. At this time there won't be a posting deadline but instead I'll check in with people frequently and see how things are going, work with them if they are stuck, etc. I'd also like for potential players to be patient with their fellow players and just have fun!
- On that note however, I am really looking for people willing to see not only their own character's story through, but the stories of the other players' characters as well. If you end up not feeling the RP that's one thing, but please don't bail once your character's story comes to a close. I want people willing to be invested in the stories of every character in the RP. Thanks.
- I can foresee some violence and mature themes taking place during the course of the RP, but whether it will be 18+ in nature is up to everyone.
- Leaning towards art for face claims, but player majority opinion rules.
Other Information:
- Discord will be required for this RP, as an easy way to discuss character stories with separate channels.
- Discord will ONLY be used for story discussion (and OOC talk if wanted), no RPing will take place there.
- Pixel art source
