90's JRPG story generator

Contribute a little piece to the prototype for generating JRPG-inspired stories!



The concept works like this: there is an overall story structure, with multiple overall stories, and within those are many potential sub-plots, with characters and locations filled in (almost madlibs-style). It results in sort of a system of infinite parallel universes. It's a lot of writing for one person for this kind of prototype, so if you help add some content it'll come together much faster. The initial text-only proof-of-concept works, but it's sort of lacklustre without any real flesh.



The more generic/cheesy/tropey this all sounds, the better. We're talking "save the four crystals from destruction" here! Just picture games from Square and Enix before their merger and you'll be on the right track.



If everything goes as planned, we'll be able to read through a story that feels true to the genre, but is different every time. If we can achieve the desired effect, then we can add more gameplay elements.



Here's what to expect:

Page 2: name and describe a main character & an NPC

Page 3: name and describe a good location & a bad location

Page 4: name and describe the big baddie

Page 5: your name/email (optional)



If you have lots to add, you can submit this form as many times as you'd like!
