conversations.value: The world of Myrra needs heroes. The Kingdom of Alistha hangs on the brink of war with the Verdant States, the art of magic has fallen into disarray, and mysterious storms begin to gather in the massive yawning ocean known as the World's Maw. Evil gathers anew to strike down all that the world has created and the world of Myrra has a host of secrets waiting to be revealed to those brave enough to find them.
  
  Into this fray steps a young girl from Orenton, a beach town in the Kingdom, with a surprising power - one who, with her companions, is the only chance Myrra has to avoid its dark fate.

  *Heroes of Myrra* is an adventure game set in an original world, with a lengthy heroic quest based heavily on the *Final Fantasy* series of games. The game will begin with one character initially, and expand as the party grows over the course of the main plot.
  
  The game is set third person present tense, and will feature both battle sequences utilizing light twists on the Storium engine and character-driven goals, scenes, and conflicts. I expect to get through approximately a scene every week or two as long as players are willing to be open and communicate when things come up!
  
  The setting is primarily fantastic; guns are rare pieces of ancient technology, and few if any still know the art of maintaining or using them. Magic is limited to the use of Micra, small crystals that store leyline energy for those skilled enough to use them, and some countries, like the Verdant States, show more technological advancement than others.
  
  There's more than a few parts to the world, but much like in a video game, much of this will be revealed as the game progresses in exposition and speaking to other characters - and there's quite a bit of room for players to help in annotating the lore, as well!

  If you're joining in, choose a **Nature** card that reflects your character's occupation or standing in the world, a **Strength** card that can reflect both their personality or their combat style, and a **Weakness** and **Subplot** of your choice; PM @friedduck if you'd like to discuss more specific subplots.  Feel free to riff off of the cards provided and provide a quick explanation of your character's **combat style** in with the rest of their **bio**.
  
  Will you be the hero that grants Myrra a second chance?

conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You're cripplingly shy, to the point that even speaking is difficult for you.  You'd like to be able to be more open, whether to assert your opinion or make a connection, but it's almost a physical response you have to social interaction.

conversations.prefix: Brute:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You're a charmer, through and through; you could sweet-talk your own mother into buying junk, and everyone would only like you more for it.  You tend to be able to talk your way into things -- and, frequently, back out of them.

conversations.prefix: Keep Exploring:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Keeper of the only real general store in Orenton.  Urban legend says he hails from the kingdom's capital of Lestharia, though he's been around the city so long that no one remembers for sure.  He's wise, if a bit crotchety, and gives a fair deal.
conversations.prefix: Porrin:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Orenton's unofficial sheriff, Niall has taken it upon himself to ensure the safety of the town he calls home.  Though gruff, he is kind-hearted and only concerned with the safety of those with whom he lives.

conversations.prefix: Fire Flask:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: This challenge represents an enemy for the party to combat.  To fight, use a strength or weakness card; in many cases, a weakness will succeed with a cost.

conversations.prefix: Protect Karie:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: You don't hide things when you don't have to -- if you've got it to say, you'll lay it right out there, but with the intention of being honest, not hurtful.  Most of the time, people respect that.
conversations.prefix: Straightforward:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: All those stories and dreams of heroes have gone to your head. It's all very good and well to help those in need, you bleeding heart - but you didn't have to literally give them the shirt off your back.
