The War Over Driahn Peaks (High Fantasy)

Alright, I'll try and come up with a system for magic as soon as I can to dissolve this, but for now go under the assumption of no magic. I don't want want it to end up being an RP where you end up having the solution in your powers. This is supposed to be about normal people dealing with conflict and the results of their actions. I'm not saying that we can't have any magic involved, I just don't want magic to get in the way of that or anything.

I'm hesitant on magic because the whole premise is making morally-grey decisions. It would be a lot easier if you could just use magic to fix it with a compromise of some sort. It's just hard to fit magic into a world where you're not "the destined hero that will fix everything and all will be good". You're just some kid with his/her own motivations, travelling or whatever you end up doing for your own goals or views. There will almost never be someone that is explicitly "the bad guy(s)".

That's just my two cents on magic. I'm not saying no, I'm just saying it's difficult.

It is high fantasy, so it is in the world, but it's not really abundant. There are rare magical abilities at best. If you're wanting to have your character use magic, just run it by me so I can make sure it's not too OP.

So you're only wanting the situation that was the genesis of the guilt and the feeling that the guilt engenders in the character? Ok, I'll rework things. I just wanted to make sure to avoid melodrama, where everyone is just crying all the time.

@reddy

I think you got the idea. It's just an example of what aftermath of a decision would cause any of the aforementioned emotions. An ex-alcoholic's would be seeing that his decision drove someone to alcohol. An ex-hooker's would be seeing their decision cause someone to have to hook for money. It doesn’t have to be something you did, I just can't think of better examples than those. Maybe Einin's could be seeing a decision she made screw up a family (i.e. separation, a parent committing suicide/homicide, etc)?

@SilverWolfAngel Lol, ok. Just saying. It only took me 18-ish hours to realize I didn't respond to your post

@SilverWolfAngel I left it vague, so I went along with your post, lol. Sorry for the late post in response.

@reddy you're looking at the moral weaknesses from the wrong end of the deciaion. It's supposed to be about what kinds of responses to decisions would haunt your character the most, or at least more than others. The example of a grieving family I had in the post could be one. An ex-alcoholic (metaphorical "30-day chip" AA member) might regret seeing someone he kept from killing themselves dive into an alcoholic binge. Maybe you just feel most guilty when you make someone pissed at you because of a decision you made, like informing an abused spouse that what her husband has been doing actually is abuse and the husband finds out you told his now-ex wife and is out to get you. Stuff like that. I personally think it's hard to come up with any broad moral weaknesses or immunities.

The typical emotions to a response to your decisions that you aren't immune to should include at least a little of the following: grief, regret, sadness, self-anger/self-hate, and more on those lines. What kinds of outcomes from a decision would cause at least a little of several of those emotions or a lot of one of them?

@Snarl No problems, man. I understand that life can get busy, whether you like it or not. I think I'll conjure up a major-ish quest (or two, if people want to split into smaller groups).
