Yet Another Cliche RPG

Yet Another Cliché RPG is a series that's main purpose is to poke fun at JRPGs.

## Plot

The story follows Holt, who's not into all the JRPG stuff that he unfortunately lives with every day. He, along with his unbalanced party of friends Brad, Louie and Ralphael go on quests in order to stay alive. Oh yeah, and this girl named Dirke just decided to join them.

An inciting incident follows, I'll come up with it later. Or maybe this won't be story focused, who knows!!

## Characters

### Holt

(Full name is Holtinus)

Holt is an Ice Mage, but he doesn't want to do epic quests or adventure. So why is he here, you may ask? It's revealed that he's aimless and doesn't really have a clear vision of what he wants to do with his life, and these guys are the only ones who will give him a place to stay. He has the highest intelligence of all of them so at least he's useful in this party he doesn't want to be a part of.

### Brad

(Calls himself Bradysseus)

Brad is having the time of his life. His class is Fool, which is a Bard mixed with a Rogue and the officially worst ranked support carried by the status of the people who are said class. Unfortunately Brad is on the streets instead of in a castle. He's the de facto leader of the group and thinks he's the hottest thing since sliced toast. He often makes decisions based on selfish or juvenile desires, and it often sabotages the rest of the team. He plays into the horny bard stereotype but unlike those he has a list of things he's into.

Extra bit of trivia: He has two dads named Chad and Tad

### Ralphael and Louie

Ralphael is a Boarman Barbarian, and Louie is a Gnome Healer. Louie is too small to count as a party member, so he hides in Ralphael's backpack and heals him. Together they make a sort of unstable Tank. Both Raphael and Louie are longtime friends of Brad's and are a foil to his hotheadedness.

### Dirke

(Full name is Dirkana)

Dirke is fully immersed into the JRPG world you'd think she's a tourist being accidentally racist. She wants to join an official guild, and she chose our main party (ironically, an unofficial guild). Her class entirely focuses on fire swordsmanship.

### King Curr

John Canker, also known as King Curr is a legendary revered warrior who made a name for himself by wandering around the country killing all kinds of monsters and demons. He's so good at what he does that in recent years of his life monsters have become scared of him and they just run in fear when facing him. In fact, this has happened so much that he has forgotten how to fight, and now that he realizes that, he searches for the most basic team of heroes he can find to join so he can start from the basics all over again. That team just so happened to be the other main characters

### Hyke Githos

A gilded Wizard of some kind. He comes off as not a very trustworthy guy.

## Lore

Centuries ago, a beast known as the Oblivion Dragon placed the planet under its rule. Eight elemental guardians fought against it. However, the Light guardian was corrupted to the Oblivion Dragon's side, and was able to either kill the elemental guardians, or trap their souls into their weapons. But not before the Oblivion Dragon was exiled from the planet using a banishing spell. The Light guardian went into hiding, amassing an army to summon the Oblivion Dragon back to the planet.

Through some unknown circumstances, Brad is besmirched and kicked out of the castle he's staying at to fend for himself and meets Ralphael and Louie.

At the same time as the above, Holt is living his life with only an uncle taking care of him. Holt's uncle says that immediately after high school Holt has to either go to college or join a service. He chooses a service and has the worst time of his life.

Brad, Ralphael and Louie graduate college and meet Holt, but they're rejected from the Guild Registry. So they start their own guild, and that leaves us at the starting point of our story.

## Trivia

* This was originally supposed to be a virtual game world, but that was scrapped
* Hyke Githos is an anagram of Siky the Hog. He has his same voice as him too.
* The Shadow kidnapping one of the Twilight Mages actually adds to the plot of this story, as her disappearance allows the Oblivion Dragon to be summoned
