THE FANTASY SLICE OF LIFE AU MEME

"Okay, you know how every RPG has the grand heroes chosen by fate to become wonderful friends and stand up to the evil sorcerer/empire/corporation/monster and keep it from destroying the world? This game is not about them."

It's not always about saving the day. For every fate-changing hero running around and saving the world, there's a hundred perfectly ordinary people living out perfectly ordinary lives.

Well, for a given definition of "ordinary" anyway.

This meme is basically just an excuse to play out characters living their lives in a nice, relaxed JRPG setting along the lines of the Atelier or Etrian Odyssey series. There's no hard setting details other than "low fantasy JRPG aesthetic" so feel free to go nuts with the details!

Just drop a toplevel below with some AU details for your character (you can even pick out a character class if you're really into that), tag around and LET'S DO THIS

[A nod.]

Then rise, Dave Strider, and if you wish, join me.

There is danger ahead no matter your choice.

[A solemn warning, but not a distinctly unkind one. She's a bit robotic, though...]

[Blink. After a moment, he tilts his head.]

Join you and go. Where.

[I mean, speaking of robotic.]

[untilavalon]

I have many destinations, but my first is the nearest town.

[Listen. Knights get hungry.]

I intend to take up some work there for a time before I move on.

[Until destiny has its way with her, apparently.]

The town where everyone thinks I'm a ghost or a devil thing.

[That town? Just checking.]
