@tsukune I don't understand half the stuff you put in your above post. I've never played XIV by the way, so that may have something to do with it.
First off, how could they NOT have their abilities, I understand them not being able to use them because they don't remember how to. Yeah they're from games, but at least for Edward, he came with all his abilities available to use in his game. To me at least, it makes more sense for them to have their abilities, but not remember they have them or how to use them. It could also be hilarious to see them accidentally discover them. Imagine Cloud using Omnislash on some poor slime because he doesn't know he can use it.
Second, and I know for a fact that this is because I've never played XIV. Forging? How does that work? What materials would one even need to forge a harp? Can someone direct me to a wiki page on it or something? Forget it, I'll find the wiki page myself, save everyone some time.
Third, Edward is starting off alone with no harp. He is so fucked. XD
Edward Chris von Muir was in line to be the seventh king of Damcyan. He became king when a man named Golbez attacked and destroyed the kingdom, for their crystal. He lost everything in that attack, his parents, his home, and his soon to be bride when she shielded him from enemy arrows. Shortly after the attack Tellah, the father of Anna, and two others appeared. Angered, Tellah attacked Edward, insulting him and refusing to listen to reason. It was only Anna, with her last breath, that stopped the man. He wasn't given time to grieve for his losses, when he tried one of the people with Tellah, Cecil of Baron, slapped him and demanded that the prince escort them to get a Sand Pearl, in order to save his own love Rosa. Edward reluctantly agreed and led Cecil and Rydia to the Antlion's den, so they could retrieve the Sand Pearl. Only the Antlion wasn't tame as usual, it attacked Edward, forcing the trio to kill it.
With Rosa now safe and healthy, their next order of business was to head to Fabul, who also had a crystal, and warn them of Golbez. It was on the way to Fabul that they met Yang, a monk of Fabul and together they headed to the kingdom. There they aided in the defense of the kingdom and it's crystal, but ultimately failed. Golbez appeared and stole away both the crystal, and Rosa. They commandeered a ship in order to continue their journey, but Leviathan attacked in the middle of the open water. All four of them fell into the waters, being separated. Edward found himself injured and on the shores of Troia, who's people took him in and began nursing him back to health.
It was some time later before he saw his companions again, but he was still too injured to join them on his journey. Instead he gives them some Whisperweed, something that he feels may help them. It does when they must fight a Dark Elf and can't beat him without their weaponry, which they can't use due to the cave's power. Edward drags himself out of bed and plays a song to subdue the beast, allowing his companions to defeat it.
He recovers some time later, and along with the Epopts of Troia, takes an airship to Mysidia, where he lends his strength to his allies in the form of pray. With the strength of all their allies praying for them, Cecil, Rydia, Rosa, Edge, and Kain, defeat Zeromus, bringing peace back to the world. Only then Edward returns to Damcyan to rebuild his kingdom.

INVENTORY
Dream Harp Initial weapon.
Lamia Harp A harp that weaves a tempting melody, that has a chance of confusing the enemy
Apollo's Harp Harp immersed in the power of the sun, fire elemental weapon that is strong against Dragons.
Loki's Lute The ultimate harp, strong against Dragons, Machines, Beasts, Ghouls, Giants, Mages, and Undeads. Aka, strong against things that aren't human.
Salve Edward is able to use multiple healing items at once, including phoenix downs and remedies.
Bardsong Using his harp, Edward is able to play magical songs that have various effects on the party. Some of these are from the game, some are of my own creation.
Chant Edward casts Protect and Shell on the entire party, at the cost of his own mobility. If you want that extra defensive power, you better protect him.
JOURNAL
Edward is right handed.
Friendly monsters, such as Moogles and Chocobos, tend to love Edward.

I don't think that the Edward we saw in game was the real Edward. He lost both his parents, the woman he loved, his home, all in an incredibly short timespan. He became king of a destroyed kingdom in it's darkest hour, and wasn't even allowed to grieve. Instead he was thrown straight into an adventure while still in shock and carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders. The Edward I want to explore is the real Edward. The one who is able to walk straight into an Antlion's den without fear, the one who travels the world as a Bard to spread the joy of music everywhere, the one who cares so much that he was willing to postpone his own wedding just to ease the troubles of the one he loves, the one that Anna fell in love with in the first place.
@BeanieBaggie Hey there! I would love to do plot number 4 with you! The one about the mad scientist and the member of S.M.P.B. I could make a super badass S.M.P.B member for you. I have so many ideas for combat gear for them.
I haven't posted because I'm going insane. We were supposed to get test results back for my grandpa on Friday, but we got jack shit instead. We have to wait until NEXT week for him to get a biopsy THEN we can figure out what the growth is and what we're doing from there. On top of that my boss wants to take spring break off, since it'll be stupidly slow, and leave me in charge. Not to mention everything else in life that I still have to worry about.
