Rune Factory: Blood & Memories
Author Notes: Some time ago, I began to write a story about a wonderful idea I had gotten in my head; a Rune Factory adventure about the monster races and Norad's history through a rivalry between two towns, mediated by everybody's favorite half-monster . However, as my literary mused slipped away and my new, real life swallowed me up, I ended up losing it. I really do want to get back into writing in this fandom though and so would politely request OC offerings to help bring the deep world and history of the Rune Factory world to life. So, what would such a request entail? Well… here is the plot.
The nation of Norad is well-known as a place of magic and mystery, where The First Forest clings tight to the mortal realm, her vast wildernesses unexplored, and amnesic farmers with great potential constantly stumbling into isolated villages. However, for the village of Sharance, the disappearance of many of their young women during the night, robbing them of their memories, is far too much for the local hero, Micah to ignore… especially when one of the victims is the woman who saved his life, Sharah. Seeking out across the Kingdom to locate her, he stumbles upon an ancient city, hidden in the bluffs along the northern parts of Norad; a ruin housing a village of monsters! There, finding an amnesic Raven, Micah is sucked into the city of Sal Novo and its troubles, from local drama, to a villain from a nearby castle who seems hell-bent on banishing monsters from their homes and even trying to turn them into humans! Can Micah recover the memories of the Sharance villagers… and perhaps find his complete memories? Can the feud between monster and human be stopped? And, in all of this, could he perhaps find the truth about the greater world outside their little villages?
So, where do OC's fit into this? Well, Sal Novo, City of Monsters, requires residents if it is to play host to Micah during his adventure and have secrets and events to spring on him (And, perhaps with wife not remembering they're married, somebody to tug at his heart). Below is an application, but I do have a few ground rules.
First and foremost, no Humans! Or, at least, no humans that aren't in a very subservient position and temperament. Sal Novo, as a strong haven for those who hate the Hornless, isn't welcoming of their kind
Give a bit of history and background, to explain why they've gravitated to this town in the first place. Perhaps they were drawn in by family, or developed a deep distrust for humans and sought to fight against them. Or maybe you're a Sech agent trying to work to destabilize the Selphia region as a vanguard for future actions? The sky's the limit.
Please, limit in power level to something befitting an NPC. Some can be fairly powerhouse (Like a town knight/guardian, for instance), but most people aren't going to be too powerful beyond racial abilities.
Please, keep it PG-13
No Gary or Mary Sues, no enemies of all (They'd be kicked out of town), and no dragon anythings.
The following character traits can only be accepted once (for plot reasons): Human-sympathizer, Local human, Loremaster (Librarian/extremely smart person), and political leader.
