(AKA I Wanna Get Off Mercurius' Wild Ride)

Brief overview:

A normal high school girl, a mysterious item/place that transports her to a completely different world where she learns that she has been chosen to bear a great power that could either save the local kingdom from their enemies or destroy the entire world. She meets those destined to protect her, goes on a quest, faces enemies who use dastardly tactics, learns about herself, and oftentimes finds love. Sometimes things end happily. Sometimes the protectors meet their deaths in brutal ways. Sometimes the girl returns home, unable to be with her love for the rest of her life. And sometimes, the girl meets with a dreadful fate.

And so it's gone in the world of Relgas as long as anyone can remember it. When the stars align, two of the Four Elemental Embodiments, must grant a portion of their powers to two opposing sides of a human conflict. The other two can either abstain from granting a human their power, or choose to do so, just a much smaller portion. This time, it is the Lord of the Skies, Mercurius' turn. He is still haunted by the unfortunate fate of his last chosen one and is determine to not let it happen again. His options are limited since direct divine intervention is not allowed. But Mercurius is known for being the most capricious and flexible of the Embodiments. He figures that if he can't intervention once he chooses his bearer, he'll just have to change up what kind of bearer he chooses. After all, there's plenty of other women who fit the requirements that aren't high schoolers.

A young college student from another world who was a tourist stopping by an old well while visiting a friend in Japan over the summer between semesters should do nicely.

@Ersa93 Small question, are there any distinctive 'races' of people within Relgas?

I haven't established any such. Are we talking like DnD type of 'races'?

Yes, or anything similar that I could include to my character idea

I was planning on them being all human, but I think we can toy with some non-human ideas. The Embodiments have been known to take on the forms of other things, including humans, so there might be a small population of people that are descendant from such unions.

@Ersa93 Wanted to run something by you first, real quick. Basic idea is a family that serves whoever the current King of the Eastern Region is, who carries a blessing of Mercurius in their bloodline (though it doesn't always manifest). That power being the ability to control their body and manipulate it to their desire, reflective of flexibility. Basically shapeshifting taken to the extreme, things like enhancing your abilities (strength, speed, etc) temporarily, or hardening yourself to take a hit, or shaping your arm into a blade, etc. How does this sound, or should I go back to the drawing board?

@Sylvan
Maybe just the ability to do one of those things? Mercurius is also the Embodiment of air, so perhaps they could have an air-based ability that mimics something you listed above.

Fair. Sorry, that was written while half asleep. I think I'll switch it up to Air power, I have some thoughts on how to write that more fittingly anyways

I hope to get to this soon. Thank you for your patience and sorry for the wait. My mind's been vegging out majorly after work and time keeps getting away from me.

Sorry for the absence. It's been a rough patch for me, but hopefully I can get the ball rolling soon. I'm thinking about just starting with those already approved if everyone is on board and just hope I can pick up a fourth player soon.
