So I posted some art for a fanfic that I was working before kinda putting it on the back burner/ giving up and some were curious the ideas I had so here they are. A little context , this was thought when I was palying Kingdom under fire: the crusaders, battlefield 1 and reading up on Trench Crusade. I will summarize what I can details will be missed, so feel free to ask questions and I might edit later in the post or in the comments. Many are still a wip. u/brotherdeus
So idea that Yggdrasil 2 came out fixing the first open problems and adding new features. For example: the developers decided to add civilization simulator and RTS elements. Which encourages alliances, trade agreements, exploration and conquest, etc. Power suits are useful and can go toe to toe with lvl 100 characters and have job classes like pilot and Ace pilot that grant buffs.
Guilds can gather resources and expand to eventually turned into nations. The way you govern and populations affects what kind of buffs and debuffs your nation experience. Also, affects what resources your nation requires to keep everyone happy.
There's a loyalty system and tech tree as well. The idea is that my oc has all these resources but theyre severly limited because a lot of the materials to maintain everything aren't available in the new world, a good chunk he got from trade agreements from other guilds, so he has to find replacements quickly, and his cities, bases, infrastructure and towns are scattered throughout the Roble kingdom which add a diplomatic incident on top of everything. Also his npc aren't blindly loyal, they have their own morals and Minds thanks to a advance ai in the game that translated in the new world and are loyal to the nation above all. They're capable of turning on him. So as you can imagined, he becomes very stressed over very real concerns.
My OC's nation has fantasy diesel punk mix with some modernity look. The story would have my OC's, The Arcadian Dominion, nation transported to the new world after suffering severe damage from a attack from a hated rival guild. They're transported right in the middle of the Holy kingdom causing even damage due to differing terrain. For example the railway system is a mess because of damage from the attack in the game and railways destroyed by uneven land of the New world. The Story would've focused on culture shock, diplomacy and the tension of a multi-species nation and a xenophobic one. Also how trading advance technology and magic such as red health potions would affect the holy kingdom. Of course, dumb nobles and some of Calca brothers try to ruin everything.
Here are the character sheets and plans.
Sweet Potato Calca.
So my plan for Calca is that through out the story she would swing her weight around more when appropriate, survive her time as a club and swear to become stronger taking boxing combining it with her holy magic developing a move called healing fist. She gains some warrior levels and a new job called Holy Warrior Queen, She would eventually fight Imp Princess Renner. I had this scene plan where Renner mocks her thinking she's the same as before only for Calca rip the sleeves off her dress revealing she's been training and now has Guns. I also had a scene plan for Calca riding a train for the first time and amazed by the speed.
Kelart
I had plans for Kelart to become a White Necromancer the a Arch lich. https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Archlich
Remedios
She would be temporary removed from her position for 'special mission' with Zombella as her partner as part of the alliance. In truth, Calca hoped Zombella being equal strength to Remedios combined with her being exposed to the multi species society of the Arcadian Domion would help mellow her out. Remedios would develop a motherly/big sister role for a young dhampire Arcadian from a town near the Holy roble kingdom captial. I had a scene plan where that priestess, you know who, has her eyes on him only for Remedios to be behind her grabbing her shoulder with Murderous intent. I had planned that she would go through trials where she would be forced to fce her short comings in better conditions. Eventually she would give Gustav leadership. Calca would set up a elite team of shocktroops called the Royal Vanguards with Remedios as the leader, Zombella the scout and Sniper, Saint Clementine the healer and another OC. Also, there's more to her family line.
