I posted this plot idea on the discord, but figured I'd post it here as well for those of you not on discord!
So I wanna do an adventuring thread involving the desert. I know I want to start off with one of the main characters waking up as a captive in a slaver's caravan, uncertain how he/she got there (also they might have memory issues in general- and currently, I'm envisioning that character as a male, but again- this is in the early plotting stages so who knows!).
Eventually after getting out of those shenanigans, I was going to have them taking refuge at the Niafi river delta in some village near there that's being plagued by the sudden swelling of the sea threatening to flood their entire city- this event will more or less be one of the catalysts to discovering an ancient sleeping power inside an ancient race that's been long forgot. (the character(s) to be created for this thread, I'd like for some way to be apart of this ancient race, or connected to it and it's story directly in some way)
I'm thinking they've got powers linked to the elements (water, fire, electric, wind, etc). The race will be one of divine descent, maybe it manifests in its desire to be awoken in strange dreams, or whatever; but I'm still working on the idea since this is a hodge podge of ideas influenced from my dreams the last two days XD Also, going off of the Essyrni thought of their race being the 'first race' or some such- and perhaps this is the pure blood line of that legacy- who knows! Just some thoughts!
Not sure I'll want this idea as a big group thread or event or anything (hence why I'm not posting it there), but the idea is reluctant 'heroes' are tossed into unfortunate situations that they more or less don't have much of a choice but to figure out; while their ancient heritage mystery begins to awaken / show it's face, etc. I'll probably post this up on the plotting board to get some feed back as well but I just wanted to post it out there to get feed back and thoughts~
But basically trials will happen and these long dormant powers awaken and the mystery involved needs to be figured out! Cause like- what the heck, right?
SooOOooOoOo
I'm more looking for someone(s) to work with me on plotting specifically with those with this blood line or associated there in sorta thing. Might be interesting if they were some form of immortal. Like they can die but can be brought back into their mortal vessel/ body or something.
I love ancient history/mystery/adventure stuffs. Perhaps they all can't recall certain aspects of their memory (IE- their child hood) and remain inside the body of a certain age when they last 'died'. Or perhaps they had a history with their new incarnated body, but when they get to a certain age of awakening, they forget their current selves and lives and begin to have their past ones take over-
So they're fighting losing current memories and recalling the new ones to embrace this mystery.
I have an idea on a character (or two...) who could be involved with this (ie- the initial one captured in the caravan); but I'd love to see who would be interested! I'm hopeful to get this thread active (like I used to be a lot more active in posting before I had to move, etc, etc etc) but now that I'm back, I'm hoping to post several times a week to this thread (Hopefully! I'mma try)
So if you feel you are excited to help me with this idea, lemme know!
