Introduction

The land of Atles has been involved in strife for countless centuries. Long ago, there were once four towers harnessing the natural elements of nature, all embodied into four crystals. Fire, Water, Air and Earth, these four crystals kept the natural world in harmony. However, the greed of mankind grew, and the crystals were harnessed for power. The crystals became corrupted and shattered, sending the land into chaos, destroying these towers, and bringing ruin to the world.

And yet life persisted in this harsh climate. Civilization grew, and without the power of the crystals, the world was forced to instead look to technology. Over time a new mineral was uncovered: Aldite. These minerals seemed to harness the power of the crystals elements, and scholars theorized that with the breaking of the crystals, their powers were released into the earth. While only harnessing a minuscule amount of power compared to the crystals, aldite was used in conjunction with growing technology to empower the races of Atles, eventually forming new kingdoms and empires which spanned the land.

With newfound power, the greed of many grows once more, and threatens the world. It will fall upon a new group of heroes to fight against this follow to save the world and bring the power of the crystals back, finally bringing balance again to the natural world.

About the Roleplay

The story brings multiple characters together to join the Hunter’s Guild. Beginning with a simple quest, they become embroiled in a greater battle against a dangerous and powerful foe, which culminates in deciding the fate of the entire world.

You know, Final Fantasy stuff.

Sorry to any readers creeping on this page! Sadly this roleplay is already full of hand-picked doom murderhead writers and most have their background information already put together and are ready to rock and roll. But you're welcome to read alongside this crazy thing. Also big ups to Inkarnate as always for knowing how to code because I sure as shootin' can't code for beans.

Other information and junk will follow shortly.

Before I forget, here's the strategy I came up with.

Avaddon aggros and brings back a ton of minibros on his track. Edgar and Luna will pick off some of the minibros that are following after him, as well as some stragglers and any that get onto Artemisia and Blaike. Balder, Ianthe, and Mitra will make sure the herd stays bunched up while killing any that get too close to them. Artemisia and Blaike will work together to create a Fire Vortex, with Artemisia using her wind magic/Aero and Blaike using his black magic/Fire. Once most of the minibros are eliminated, the group will slowly pick off the stragglers.

Afterwards, our choice on exploring the forest I suppose/going deeper into the nest.

For fighting the Mama Malboro, that's a different story. For the most part this is a ranged battle and the group will need to use the bombs Edgar made wisely. Everyone puts the Fire Aldite into their weapons and will zone the Malboro out. Avaddon and Edgar will be the ones choosing where to use the fire bombs, as we will want to knock down trees in an attempt to damage and immobilize the Malboros. Frontliners will be Balder, Ianthe, and Mitra will fight on the frontlines to keep the tentacles away, while Artemisia, Blaike, and Luna will fight from the backlines with Blaike going into the frontlines should anything happen to one of the frontliners. Artemisia and Blaike will prioritize damage, but should also work to burn any tentacles that try to harm, disarm, or disable their allies movements while Luna will focus on shooting at the Malboros eyes.

While nothing will go completely as planned, these are my two ideas I currently have for how to approach combat.

...a lot.

@Savo

Dude, chill. We have a discord to discuss this kind of stuff

[mickilennial]

Not to mention we don’t necessarily need to play this like a video game. It’s a story. A role-play. Not a video game.

GM post will be done tomorrow, prepare your butts for blasting.

That sounded gross.

Question for y'all, how would you describe your characters victory pose after winning a battle if this was a FF game?
