I need help with my lore (basically y’all build my world here)
I only have the tutorial completed, so no worries if your lore contradicts my map!
Something I want to say related to lore
We should really have a lore tag. This could give others ideas about their own lore, be inspired by others, and especially look into King_Thunder_Alt1’s posts. They’re really enlightening and I will not stop glazing.
Baseplate for the lore!
The story starts on the floating Island of the Mind, where beings of good past are brought in. There’s many islands in the clouds that have a diverse variety of species and people, of whom you can interact with. It’s a beautiful place, where people rest before traveling back to reality.
The problem is, there are groups of people who have done good things, but are very disturbed. They soon form the minority of people known as the “Unstable Order”. They appear less and less throughout the islands as they gather to practice magic. These minds work faster than you think, though, because they summon a deity once long forgotten, who wanted to erase the people’s flaws and create a new race, known as Hailo’Ahmid. As they slowly regain power, the islands grow more corrupted.
Y’ALL are tasked with expanding on this lore (if you want to). Happy brain-wracking, people :3
Color scheme of red, angry red+violet, black, sort of like Calamity Ganon from BotW (W GAME PLEASE PLAY)
Two forms:
In human form, they still have that same color scheme, permed hair, tired eyes most of the time. If it helps, they wear hoodies and baggy pants.
(They are masculine in this form)
In Pheonix form, [1] they are feminine, and this form resembles their anger. In this form, you may include bright orange and yellow swirls.
However, I don’t expect you to do both forms, you can do just one! :vD
O_O
Pluh
breakdancing
Heck yeah thank you so much!!!
to resemble a great change, death of one species and birth of another ↩︎
Love this so far. Especially the inspiration from BotW [1]
Ideas:
Residents of the island have a constant feeling of not being entirely physically present, as if mildly aware of being in a dream
Creatures on the island get their life force from the continuation of the cycle of birth and death, as well as peace of mind. These forces are essential to them as oxygen is to us, and if threatened can damage the wellbeing and energy of all creatures
“Herbivorous” creatures also consume rainwater and water droplets contained in clouds as a substitute for food; it brings them sufficient energy to survive
The island is said to lie in the blur between life and the spirit world
“Lucidity”: Based on lucid dreaming, island residents with formidable calm and peace of mind can manipulate reality in extremely minor ways; levitating a few inches above the ground, telepathically moving objects small distances, etc. Very few have harnessed this ability (to the point where it’s mostly a legend and isn’t practiced much anymore), and even fewer have mastered it. Mastery allows you to do far more significant things with lucidity, such as temporarily growing wings or creating powerful barriers that are handy in battle. Lucidity is what allows the player to defeat the Hailo’Ahmid and the corruption.
YES i love koroks. Are you planning on making a similar thing with minor secrets around the map for players to find?
@Fergo actually this map sounds like a really cool passion project with a lot of interesting ideas – I would love to get some updates on this and play it when/if it releases :]
If you ever need help with it I’m always here!
also your profile picture is sick, nice to see a fellow dragon lover ↩︎
I want to include a limbus company reference in this so…
this ‘dream-like’ state can temporalily change appearances to their (at least in their eyes) ‘perfect’ self. truly ideal. however, a little too much overdose can result in…well…coverups are constantly needed.
If you could go into better detail, I would understand.
However, abilities? This is a lore topic, and you may include abilities that were lost during the uprise, with the energy and currency in my game called WILL.
well more or less I feel like healing ones were in a great number of loss during the uprise, due to them seemingly being seen as unnatural…
and other abilities could be like animal ones like wings and such, kinda like mha
