ArthanusThe idea...
Erathis is a large island more akin to the size of a continent - to the south is the snow fields, to the north the desert, the east the plains, and the west the forests. Besides the unusual layout of clear biomes on the island, the one thing that makes Erathis unique is her 'heart' - a strange and ancient dungeon that seems to produce monsters (people who have either been possessed or willingly given into other-worldly demons are called monsters). The most dangerous of them all however are the seven dragons that seem to rule from up high in the fortress-like dungeon.
Most of the time, people do all they can to hold off the monsters as a wall was built around the 'Heart of Erathis' and it's common for adventurer guilds of all types to try and make their name in glory, mark strange artifacts for riches, or test their strength in the name of honor. A legend does exist though, that there was once a 'war' between these dragons and twelve 'braves' ... to most this is a myth, but such a story lays claim to why the dragons cannot leave the 'heart'.
However, that is about to change.
Our Characters...
I had thought of a general story that our characters (up to twelve players, but we can start with less of course) is that we're all orphans in the same orphanage and at least know of each other. Some could be bullies, or the bullied, or ones standing up for others, shy children, etc. I have a plan for an intro to everything, but without spoilers, just know that after the prologue - we'll jump in time to when they are teenagers / young adults where their fate will await.
The main theme will be that each character is infused with a spirit of a 'brave' - a mythological hero/heroine with unique abilities and powers not seen anywhere else on the entire island. The setting comes with what you might expect, different races (humans, elves, animalkin, dwarves, lizardfolk if we want, etc) and there are mages who study elemental power, but even if your 'brave' used the elements, it'll be more natural and intuitive than the scholarly spells mages have to learn.
