[hider=Idea 13 - Echoes of the Past]
Our lucky number 13 idea involves the all too classic tale of somebody with amnesia. You know the ones. You wake up in the middle of nowhere and you conveniently only know your name and one other errant important detail. Well, here's my take on the story. It's mostly just a basic skeleton of an idea, this way it can be dropped into anything and customized however.[hr] I am John Amnesiac (name pending) and I've just awoken from an indeterminate amount of sleep, only to realize, I know nothing about who or where I am. Thing is, [i]everyone else[/i] seems to know a great deal about me. My face is on billboards (or equivalent thereof) everyone knows my name and deeds, etc. Problem is, I still don't have any recollection of any of this. Why do people know my name? What have I done to become so well known? The other player(s) in this story would be helping my character on a journey of re-discovery to help me find my memories and learn just who and/or what I really am.[/hr] Like I said before, this is an idea meant to be customized and dropped into wherever. This could fit into 1001 different Fandoms, or into just about any time period. Then, of course, there's the reason I'm so well known. Is it because I made a breakthrough in the field of science and discovered a cure for cancer? Was I a legendary hero who defeated a great evil? Am I the richest man in the world? Or perhaps it's an infamy thing, and I am wanted for many horrific crimes, or am being framed for something? And what about the motivations of other character(s)? Are they attempting to befriend me for money and fame? Are they trying to lead me into a different lifestyle? Are they hoping to change who I once was in order to become a better (or worse) person?
