Tumblr page search for mobile is broken so I’m going to keep a random bar of tags here for my own convenience.

Fuck it. It's anime hair. So what if I want this white-haired green-eyed bastard to be cut short on the sides but also have two gigantic braids as thick as my arms down to his waist. I'll do what I want.

Take these and blend them and you've basically got Pommel.

Well, design-wise anyway. Her personality leans more towards feral cat who isn't totally sure it's ready to be an inside cat.

Optional Bosses

I've really got to reorganize my notes at some point and put the story together for this thing. It's a monster (boss) in itself. Okay, so I've already got the one optional boss in the form of the Dungeon Moth Queen in a different post. But this is a new one!

Walpurgia the Sea Scourge

It's a giant two headed whale just itching to kick your ass for daring to sail too close to it's territory. You trigger it by sailing to a remote corner of the map where there's a suspiciously large whirlpool. It can't cast magic but it hits like a truck, has a 50% chance to hit twice, and heals a small amount of its health on every turn.

Duskoles

After Ingo's death there is a friendship stat check. If the MC has not hit the required minimum friendship level with at least one party member before this check then the next time you sleep at an inn the MC will enter a cutscene of shadowy figures he must then battle solo. If you pass the check then the character with the highest friendship stat will wake you up from the nightmare before the battle part starts and you take a walk and talk with them instead.

Extra Content

Alright so in the RPG story/game/outline I'm making the Time temple is one of the last. You reverse and fast forward time to solve puzzles. You're supposed to return the power to the temple at the end but for "plot" reasons you aren't able to return the time power like normal.

So you leave with it cause what else can you do?

However if you happen to visit other temples afterwards you can activate the time power in certain spots to see visions of the past or discover previously hidden treasures that were "overlooked" during the first run through the temple.

Earth Kingdom Dungeon Maze

The solution of the maze is to choose the path whose mineral deposits matches the birthstone order from Jan - Dec. The riddle on the altar at the beginning reads:

A path of brilliant stones Only time’s march knows the way Twelve choices, birth to death Once chosen, do not stray

Not bad. Every four floors is a treasure room. Two real treasures, one mimic. Mimics can only be damaged normally by magic and take severely reduced damage from physical attacks. You meet your first offensive magic user in the same kingdom as the dungeon.

I am a sucker for Dragon Quest 9. Every time I think about the logistics of an air temple in my fake RPG I wanna model it after the Observatory.

I mean COME ON! Look at that! That's beautiful and I am in love with it. DQ9 was my first JRPG and it's going to forever hold a soft spot in my heart and what's a good RPG without it's references and IRL callbacks that take a wiki search to make sense of?

RPG - Current Cast

(Hero) - Default name is August. Typical knight character with basic magical ability. Has been bestowed (cursed with) golden bracers that he cannot remove. Allegedly, they hold the ability to stabilize world temples that have gone haywire.

Priestess Raefa - White Mage, Healer class. Stoic, likes to keep her suffering internal even though there's a lot of it. Second to join the party. Staffs and Scythes.

Pommel - (Name May Change) Originally martial-artist class, likely now taking on the thief role. Makes more sense for their tragic childhood. Catlike and guarded, weapons will be knives.

Ingo (Baobab) - Traditional old man character who's a little stronger than the rest of the party with strong paternal ties to the MC. Lovable scamp vibes, very Jiraiya-coded.

Erole Atliere - Artificer! Guns and hammers are this dude's bread and butter. Autism. No strong ties to the group or their journey at first. Homeboy heard "dimensional travel" and decided he had to know more no matter what.

As for the other characters I haven't much fleshed out yet.

Unnamed Performer (Girl) - Minstrel

Unnamed Scholar (Boy) - Red Mage

Holly - Late Game Recruit, non-human Druid. Picked up from the Dead Plane as a seed. Raefa plants it and nothing happens at first. Eventually -seemingly overnight- a plant person grows from it. Unsure if they will me a permanent party member.

Unnamed Pirate - Temporary Party Member, Optional. Tags along when you pick up Pom to make sure she'll be okay.

Unnamed Old Man - Sage, Replaces Ingo, found in the Dark Temple injured.
