Be the hero you set out to be! What waits for you at journey's end?

Sarisa Morningdew
Priestess of the Goddess
Age: 24

Sarisa has been your childhood friend since you were children. You spent what time you could together, but as she got older that got more sparse because she was in training to be the Goddess' interpreter, a deeply important and traditional role. Her training was rushed, expedited when signs of the Dark dragon's return started to manifest. Wild animals started to become more aggressive, and even some people started to give in to base instincts. It became evident a few years back that she would have to embark on her pilgrimage to collect three magical gemstones needed to banish the dark dragon again, so the world could begin to heal.

In ancient texts the priestess never went alone, she had a companion that would help guide her to her destination. Someone skilled in the martial and/or magical arts. You knew this, when you watched her work so hard through her express training, you read every detail of the historic tomes, and secretly, you sought tutelage under anyone in the village who would train you.

When a tournament was held to find the hero that would escort the priestess, you surprised yourself. You handled yourself with strength, skill, and grace. After a grueling final match, it was evident you would be accompanying the priestess. Sarisa was shocked, elated that the knight to guide her on her quest would be her best friend. She had never felt more safe, and excited to take on her sacred duty.

Zeke Valkoff
Weary Vagabond
Age: 39

Zeke is a quiet, well-traveled man encountered early in the journey. He carries himself with the ease of someone who has survived more than he cares to recount, offering guidance through unfamiliar lands and insight into dangers ahead. Though capable, he rarely takes direct action in battle, instead advising from the sidelines and intervening only when absolutely necessary.

He has an uncanny familiarity with remote places, forgotten paths, and the kinds of threats most people would rather pretend do not exist. When asked about his past, Zeke deflects or changes the subject—not out of secrecy, but indifference. What matters to him is seeing the road ahead properly walked.

Despite his reserved nature, Zeke remains with the party by choice, honoring a promise made long before the journey began.

Tsugumi Saito
Ritual-bound Guardian
Age: 28

Tsugumi is a calm natured, soft spoken, but devoted woman from the temperate Island village of Ala'hii resting at the base of a once dormant volcano. She is serene and still as water under pressure and will do her duty for the people she serves.

Adept in Iaido and archery she is much stronger and more capable than her frame would suggest

Observant and quietly caring, she scans for danger, constantly watching out for those under her charge.

OKAY SO!

This took a lot. A lot of thinking, writing, and guardrailing to try to get this right. I've actually had the vague idea of this before, not for a bot, but maybe for an RPG (Which let's face it, I never actually would have gotten around to making/finishing), and when I saw Dominion was having Fantasy Week? I figured... yeah, maybe I'll do this instead. If you're not in it for a long story about bonds and friendship (Way to enjoy Fantasy week ¬¬; ) then you can just start with Scenario 5, however the whole thing is meant to help you understand the characters, and go on a journey. I genuinely hope you enjoy!

...God I hope I got this right.


Also GGS! Frieren Friday is back! YAY!

I had a hard time making art for Zeke that fell in line with the art style for Sarisa and Tsugumi, but it seemed like it would be a waste to hide this. Might help me with the female demographic, and maybe some of the male demographic too.
