Brief Plot Overview
The little kingdom of Burbof (more of a village really) exists quietly and peacefully in the middle of the continent of Virnastia. For the most part the kingdom is rather ordinary: it houses a few farms and small shoppes that carry basic potions and herbs. In essence, its the kind of town you start in at lvl:1. The one thing that makes it stand out is its location in the center of the continent, between all the other kingdoms. For a long time this has never been a problem, until all the other kingdoms started a massive continent-wide war. Because of its strategic location the other kingdoms constantly bullied and tried to take control of Burbof. And since Burbof is so tiny, they had no way to defend themselves. They didn't even have a standing army, just an old gate guard that spends more time napping than guarding. And so the demon lord in disguise king's adviser came up with a plan to show the other kingdoms that Burbof shouldn't be trifled with: they would kidnap the princess. All the princesses, of every kingdom!
About this RP
This RP is meant to be fun, light hearted, and comedic while still being adventurous and action-packed. It is very much jrpg and anime influenced/inspired (think DragonQuest, Tales of ____, ChronoTrigger, etc.) The basic premise is: the main characters need to travel to all the different kingdoms and kidnap all the princesses. Each kingdom is very different, as is each princess. Along with exploring the different kingdoms, players will get sidetracked along the way, by what I cannot say. I'm also hoping that players will also be able to go on "personal" sidequests that deal specifically with a character's story-arc or background. While I do have plots, plans, and story-arcs in the works, I would love for players to carve out their own stories and forge their own paths (if that makes sense). I hesitate when I say this is a High-Casual RP, because I don’t really like making a big deal out of post length. But it is high-casual, although more so with respect to quality than length.
About the World
So, I have yet to make a map or anything like that, but the journey will take place all on the continent of Virnastia. On it are several kingdoms (7ish, final number not decided) that are currently at war. Each kingdom has a princess (or princesses) waiting to be kidnapped. Below is a very very brief glance at some of the kingdoms. I have not included proper names for kingdoms or princesses yet.
Final Notes
-I encourage players to be creative with their characters. If you want to create a kingdom or village for your character to come from, feel free. I’ll be sure to add it to the map.
-having a co-GM would be fantastic. I’m not very experienced with creating an RP, so having someone to talk ideas with would be fantastic.
-don’t forget to pack phoenix downs
-...I really hope this takes off
