Harry Potter Dark Souls challenge:
A/N: Ok, so I recently noticed that someone once asked for a challenge for a HP/Dark souls crossover. Unfortunately they left things pretty vague and I'm not sure if it was just lack of interest or if no one could conceive of an idea. As such I've decided to write up a challenge for this kind of cross over as well as attached some of my own considerations for a story I'm going to attempt to write. My hope is too see some truly awesome works come from this. Also if anyone does read this and happens to know if their is a specific place to list challenges then please let me know.
On another note I've never really looked around for this type of crossover before so if it exist on some other site and you know of a good story let me know ya? With that I leave you with this challenge. To all who dare I bid you good luck.
Summary: Harry potter receives the dark sign after his ordeal with the basilisk. Up until the end of his third year when he encounters the dementors nothing happens except he starts to have weird dreams (This can be the intro scene for dark souls or anything you want.) Due to having his soul nearly sucked out his dreams become more vivid and he suddenly finds himself in Lordran. You may choose whether to keep this game-like or have it be more realistic. Each time he visits a bonfire he awakens and will not return to lordran until he sleeps again.
Challenge:
-Harry Potter receives dark sign thanks to basilisk
-Harry Potter begins to receives weird dreams of a dark world
-Harry Potter encounters Dementors and nearly loses his soul
-Harry Potters dreams become more vivid and he enters the world of Dark souls
-Whenever Harry rests at a bonfire he awakens
-same scenario for if he dies in his dream
-As he gets stronger in lordran he gets stronger in his world
-I leave this up to the writer to decide how he gets stronger (could be as simple as him thinking more strategically).
Not a part of the challenge but worthy of note:
-I won't dictate what pairings you can use if you decide to but please indicate in your summary if the pairing will be straight or slash (It really is only considerate of an author to do so if the pairing cannot be found as an option.)
Harry Potter Dark souls Fic Setup (my personal setup):
-While dreaming, Harry is able to collect souls from pretty much anything in Lordran.
-When he wakes up he encounters a snake (easy explanation for why it can talk thanks to parseltongue).
-The snake can adjust the runic tattoo on his back to affect his skills based on the number of souls Harry has collected.
-Harry can decide how the souls are spent (same way one does in dark souls)
-These stats also increase Harry's abilities in the real world
-His total magic is affected by Intelligence
-His regen rate is affected by Endurance
-Faith affects the effectiveness of his spells
-Dex affects the speed of his casting
-Attunement affects the number of spells harry can chain effectively
-Harry's life is never physically at risk, but his mental state is.
-Harry cannot remain undead for more than three nights in a row or he becomes hollow
-Items do not transfer between realms unless placed in the bottomless box.
-Box is linked to his vault at gringotts
-Harry can encounter other "players" through summon signs, but cannot go to other realms to help out other players.
-Harry automatically starts as one of the three casting classes
-Nothing from Harry potter enters the dream realm.
-Depending on the story, Harry may endure NG+ as well
Footnote: I won't ask anyone to let me know if they decide to take up this challenge, but if you have some ideas but no intention to write a story then feel free to share them in a review. I may just add them to the challenge!
