Thread: Character Backstories

  1. #1

    Post Character Backstories

    If you're like me and create backstories for your characters, post them here.

    Kent (Fighter): An amnesiac where the last thing he remembers was an incredibly massive machine-like creature.
    Suko (BB): A martial artist looking to perfect his skills against all manner of foe.
    Tika (WM): A healer who can speed up the flow of time for a bit. Zand's older sister.
    Zand (BM): A stick more than a person who can reverse time for a bit. Tika's younger brother.

    The time altering capabilities of my mages are my excuse to use the emulator's fast forward and rewind functions.

    I'm not sure what I would name my characters now. I know when I was younger and still in school, I would name them after close family members, friends, or the girl I had a crush on at the time.

    One of our members, years ago at this point, had done a Let's Play and members of the forum were randomly chosen to give the character's names.

    Just digged up one of the screencaps I took at the time. I was one of the lucky few chosen at random, and it's safe to say if something like this were to happen again today I would have chosen a way better name than lwlftw.

    Shoutout to OrigamiWombat for the stream. I can't remember who that is. Maybe Dr Unne?

    I did this for another thread, I'll just re-post my answer since I still like it.

    Warrior - Squire from a kingdom tasked to to restore the crystal, the Knight he served scoffed at it and so the Squire stole the crystal and took his place.

    White Mage - Holy Order who guards the Crystals, it is they who tasked the various kingdoms to send their champions to restore the crystal. White Mage is an apprentice who was foreseen by prophecy to be the one to restore the crystal.

    Black Mage - From an order of dark forces who wish to use the crystals power for their own gains in arcane knowledge, they sent one of their own to restore the crystal so they may all benefit from it's power.

    Thief - Stole the crystal from a warrior tasked to restore them, thinking it only a trinket, they take it to the meeting place in the guise of the man they stole it from and instead get swept up in the quest instead of a reward.

    Monk - A man filled with turmoil who took refuge with the monks to calm his heart, the journey of the crystal is given to him in order to complete his training.

    Red Mage - An adventurer and world traveler who comes across a warrior summoned to deliver the crystal and restore it. The two are attacked by monsters and the hero falls, but tasks the Red Mage to complete the journey for him. Having nothing better to do, they go along.

    I wonder what the back-story of POTATO is... could lead to some funny scenarios if people just yell his name as it is in all capital letters!

    Mine is simpler. The heroes were all whores that have their feelings cheated by their regular patron. They decided to set off on a journey to rediscover themselves and also needed some crystals to get high. Thus, the story begins!
