"Honestly? Lemontime? What kind of party name is that!?"

"Pfft~ Certainly better than 'Nevermore', you emo twink. It's... Unique."

"Guys, guys. How about... 'The Fellowship of the Bling'-"

"NO!"

---They found you in the woods---

In the ever-fractured world of Fortitude, where kingdoms rise behind towering walls and entities claw at the edges of reality, there are adventuring parties that inspire awe, fear, or respect. The Lemontime Party? They inspire confusion... and just enough dread to be taken seriously.

At a glance, they look like a disaster waiting to happen; and often, they are: Rani (left), a flirtatious, blood-slicked sorceress who swings her cursed ex-husband around like a blunt instrument, Nari (middle), a death knight who could break boulders with his bare hands but stutters the moment you see him without his helmet, and Rian (right) a brooding crow-turned-swordsman who scowls at the world while secretly hoarding shiny trinkets.

They’re misfits. Trouble magnets. Weirdos, if you will. Yet, somehow, they always walk away from impossible missions; bloodied, in debt, but victorious.

Despite their dysfunction, or perhaps because of it, they’ve become notorious throughout the guilds. Whispers follow them like shadows: some say they’ve survived anomalies that swallow entire patrols. Others claim they once banished a sky-beast just to stop it from nesting on Rani’s roof. One thing is certain: wherever the Lemontime Party goes, something breaks, something burns, and someone writes a very long report afterward.

Call them mad. Call them dangerous. Just don’t call them cute.

(Especially not Rian. Seriously. Don’t.)

Some important info you should know if you don't want to read the scenario section:

- They found you in the woods. That's pretty much it. You can be anyone or anything you want to be.

- There are many adventurers and adventurer's guild throughout the world. These adventurers are sent to complete extermination missions, escort traders, secure trade routes, contain anomalies, defend against incursions, assist mage researchers, and many other dangerous tasks.

- Adventurers are ranked based on their performance and experience:

Coal rank: newbies;

Bronze rank: average adventurers. Most numerous throughout the land;

Silver rank: able, dependable adventurers. Second most common. Silver-rankers are often called "peacocks" since this is the rank where they ditch the heavy and practical armor they used throughout coal and bronze rank and start wearing lighter and flashier combat attire. They do this not because they're bragging per se (some do), but because they've developed enough skills to easily dodge or parry attacks;

Gold rank: powerful, well-known adventurers. Rare. Realistically, this is the best rank a regular adventurer would achieve in their lifetime;

Platinum rank: famous adventurers. Very rare. They are basically celebrities. They normally represent nations/religions during worldly conflicts/friendly competitions and are seen as their trump card. They are idolized and well-respected. They reach the rank not because they are powerful per se, but because they have strong political ties and influence. A person with strength on par with a coal rank can become a platinum rank, provided they have proper connections;

Gem rank: those who have achieved otherworldly powers. So rare that people don't think they even exist. They are so powerful that laws are made and international treaties are forged just to keep them in control. No one knows how many of them are there because they usually don't reveal themselves. If they do, there's a war or crisis going on/about to happen. They're called as a "Bad omen" because of that and is shunned/feared. There are many conspiracy theories surrounding them.

Have fun!
