Your name is Harold, you were born to a wretched family in a small and relatively unknown village somewhere in the countryside.
Your family is that of farmers, as everyone else is in this village.
The village's main yield is that of wheat, on a field owned by a lord somewhere in the region where you live.

Life in your village is quite unexciting, with nothing much going on in the day-to-day your life is miserably boring.
Toiling in the fields all day, eating only oats and bread with rarely any meat, filthy streets, and lousy deplorable drunkards, which are most of your home village's population.
Added on to your misery is your loneliness, ever since you stopped being a little boy you didn't get along with much of anybody around you.
You always though better of yourself than everyone around you, you couldn't stand living such a squalid life.

Your mother always used to tell you fantastical stories when you went to bed, some were terrifying tales warning you not to go out or some woodland fairy or elf would take your soul, some were nice fables meant to teach you about life, and some were boring anecdotes, but your favorite stories were the great and fantastical ones.
Stories where brave adventurers , stories where powerful wizards ,stories about ingenious rogues, so on and so forth.

You reminisce on your favorite story..


1) The story where the knight slew the evil duke
2) The story where the mage tricked the demon into falling down the abyss
3) The story where the rogue sneaked into the royal palace
4) Write in


(note that the choices aren't exactly about class selection like in D&D or whatever)

Alright, lets do this again, last time I fucked up and got lazy, I'll try not to abandon the Quest this time.
I lost the original thread but it's fine, I think taking this in a different direction would be better anyways

So we like fantastical animal story's where weirdness wins out over mundanity huh.
We are such a bored peasant hoping something cool happens to us it hurts. And i love it.

You reminisce on the favorite tale your mother told you, the story where the knight slew the evil duke.
In the story, the mighty and brave knight rose up in defiance against the evil demands of the duke, and led a revolt to take him down, and after a long and bloody battle at the duke's castle, the duke was slain at the hands of the righteous knight.
That story has affected you the most in your opinion, you always think
back to the brave knight, whose unfaltering constitution and
unstoppable determination, gave him the power to do as he wills, and not
anybody else.

You suppose that story has shaped your entire life, and led to your misery more than anyone would think. You hated living this deplorable life in this drab and dirty village, in your dreams at night you imagine a different life, where you stand above the common rabble, above the mud, above the wretchedness of peasantry where you are, ascended in might and glory where you deserve to be! You are destined to set yourself free!


| THESE ARE YOUR GREAT AMBITIONS |


Your mother died last autumn, she was one of the few things you cherished in your life, and she was what anchored you to stay in your home village, and now you have no reason to stay.
You always wanted to venture out into the world and explore what there is to find, but you didn't know where to go or what to do. You were too young back then and you had no opportunities, but now you have nothing stopping you from leaving all this misery and wretchedness behind.
The choices stir in your head, there are many paths you could go on to achieve your desires, but you aren't sure of how you should start.

Perhaps..

1)..you should join the army, they say that men of noble souls can reveal that so called nobility through great feats in war. They say that you could even gain a noble title.

2)...you should go the capital and rise up through the social ranks, you could even (with enough luck) possibly get into the esteemed Royal Alchemical University

3) write in
>>
>>6428865
oop, ID changed, but I am OP.
anyways, yeah, procrastination, this overall took me not that long to write, but getting the will to write and "scope creep" really can make someone anxious
>>
>>6428867
I think from this point onwards I'll be able to work more diligently and the time between posts will be much lesser
>>
>>6428865
>1)..you should join the army, they say that men of noble souls can reveal that so called nobility through great feats in war. They say that you could even gain a noble title.
I wanted to write-in mercenary at first, then remembered we are a broke peasant.

>>6428867
Recommend having a username to make things easier.

You have got to start at the bottom before you rise to the top after all. And there is not much farther to the bottom than being a ambitious pheasant that just joined the army in the hopes of wining glory and power on the battlefield.

The Beaver Knight, he builds his own house

Or better yet, the ant knight, the smallest of all that shall build the greatest kingdom of them all.

>>6429371
That does have a nice ring. Ant inspired armor could be pretty cool.
>>
ok I am locking it in option 1
>1)..you should join the army, they say that men of noble souls can reveal that so called nobility through great feats in war. They say that you could even gain a noble title.

and I am guessing my IP will change anyways, so here I am
>>
>>6429771
Well i guess that all depends on how artistic and fanciful the armorer's of this world can get and if they can do insect theming with there work.

So I tried making ant heraldry.... Think we should stick with lions, eagles, or other fancy lines.
>>
>>6430162
Perhaps you are right.
>>
>>6430162
yeah... this isn't gonna be an "antman" adventure
>>
>>6430311
Is it going to be a rags to riches story though?
>>
>>6430668
not necessarily, it may be somewhat adjacent, but not really that.

Also, sorry for being slow, I am working on it, but I am a procrastinating SOAB
>>
After many days of pondering, you realize what you should do.
You understand that as a peasant you have little opportunity in this world if you don't push yourself above your blood. You heard somewhere that you could be distinguished as a noble, through great feats, if you prove yourself in the field of battle.

You see yourself in your imagination helping conquer an enemy capital, and after that being hailed in the streets as a great hero...
Ohh sweet fantasies.. how good those are to you.

Now that you are sure, you decide to finally leave, through great uncertainty.
Your whole life was your village, and you don't know where to go, but you are determined.

1) You decide to go along the first road you find, that must lead you to somewhere good.
2) You decide to go through the forest, you hardly believe in your mothers old fairytales, it must be the way!
3) Maybe ask some people in the village for directions?
4) You remember back when you were young, you ventured off and saw a great big castle in the distance, mother was mad, but you remember the way there, perhaps that could be the way?
5) Write in
>>
>>6423164
just realized how retarded I must seem like due to how I was writing this, I forgot to fix my rewrites.

Please I promise you I am not retarded
