The Magnificent Manbeard
Inspired by Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age, this RP will take place in an altered version of the world of Erdrea. In this world, the locations from the game are scaled up to house realistic populations -- for instance, Heliodor City is home to several hundred thousand people. In the game, the protagonist is the reincarnation of Erdwin, the Luminary of Legend and the hero chosen by the World Tree, Yggdrasil. However, since this would be a group thread and all characters should be treated equally, we will collectively be known as the Echoes of the Luminary -- we were each born with a shard of Erdwin's soul.
You can make your characters any age from any background -- reworked characters from the game or OCs, hailing from any location. To facilitate this, we will say that there have been many generations of Echoes across the centuries, but thus far none have known their dormant potential. When Erdwin died way back in the Age of Heroes, his soul was shattered, the shards attaching themselves to new children being born. When an Echo grew old and died, the shard would be recycled into the Heart of Yggdrasil to be reborn anew. This cycle happened repeatedly over the centuries, with none ever awakening their Luminary powers -- until now. Part of this may have been a grand scheme by Yggdrasil Herself to ensure there were always a certain number of Echoes in various stages of circulation should the Dark One or the Lord of Shadows ever return. Since different Echoes of the past may have died at different ages, it is completely possible to have one Echo who is elderly existing at the same time as another who is very young. The exact number of Echoes will depend on how many characters are created by us. However, I will also allow there to be several Tainted Shards, resulting in Dark Echoes.
As for the story that brings us together, we can say that the Seer appeared to each of us in our dreams, instilling in us the belief that our destiny would lead us to the upcoming Masked Martial Arts Tournament in Octagonia. At the end of the competition, a magically sealed chest is brought forth and when opened, reveals a branch of Yggdrasil Herself, the Rainbough. It begins glowing in response to our presence, which attracts the attention of a nearby family of black dragons. The beasts swoop down into the Arena, causing mass panic. It is here that our Luminary powers first awaken, leading us on a path to present ourselves to the rulers of the world at the annual Colloquy of Kings in Dundrasil.
Here, we take place in the battle that leads to the fall of Dundrasil, and then venture forth on a series of battles and adventures around Erdrea, to other worlds, to the afterlife, and even to different timelines and eras. The Dark One of our world may be one of our biggest foes, but what if there are other Dark Ones from other worlds? Other times?
For my main characters, I am going to play twins Dharbin and Dhalsuphur. They hail from the tropical kingdom of Entoya Island, which is a few days south of Lonalulu by ship. They are the sons of Admiral Dhinmur Galadoza, the commanding officer of the Entoyan Royal Navy and a high-ranking member on King Kaduna's Privy Council. Both the twins have shards, but Dhalsuphur's will eventually become Tainted, leading to him becoming a Dark Echo. Any other characters that become Dark Echoes can elect to leave the team of heroes and join his team of villains.
I have many ideas for this RP, but would love to hear your ideas as well
