❈ WELCOME - PREMISE
You’ve stepped through the door. This place is somewhere New, and exactly where you want to be. Be welcomed, traveler. Are you ready for your new adventure?
Luxendarc exists in countless worlds and iterations, linked by their common threads but set apart by their own unique circumstances. This one’s circumstances are as unique as they come– a midway point between worlds, converging and shaping into something new as otherworldly travelers come seeking new adventures. The golden hub of Gildenhirst has long been flourishing, its branches stretching towards the sky and beckoning adventurers seeking fresh starts welcome.
The world is changing, and every hand to help chart its course is a boon. Take your time, explore new bonds, and enjoy the ride.
Bravely Borrows is a sandboxy, invite-only RP that borrows heavily from the Bravely Default series while completely doing its own thing. It’s one part slice of life and one part exploration, with an emphasis on playing with Job Classes and expanding the world through quests and player contributions. Take things at your own pace– it is a sleepy game for sleepy people.
How’d We Get Here? How Does this Start?
Simply put, your character is here because they want to be. The actual reason is up to you: they could have been offered a chance at a new adventure, or they were setting off on a new story all on their own, or they simply needed a way out. Perhaps it was simply that one chapter in their life had ended, and another was just beginning. No matter the reason, they stepped through a door (or passed through a veil. Left their house. Stepped off a boat. Whatever the case may be.)
Once they’ve stepped through, they’ll find themselves on a mountain pass. They’ll be greeted by another adventurer who is kind enough to offer some directions. Follow the pass until the rocks give way to forest, and further still until the forest burns with gold. That’s where you’ll find your new beginning.
They’ll come with a handful of items they had with them, as well as a new pouch at their side. Inside?: a handful of gold, a strange jewel, and a curious journal that seems just right.
Bravely Borrows is not meant to be a jamjar in the traditional sense. Generally characters arrive willingly. However players can always feel free to say their character passed through any door or entry and ended up somewhere they were very much not expecting.
Once they’ve reached Gildenhirst– the cozy city built into the mountain and its sprawling golden tree– they can grab a room at one of the Inns, or look into one of the adventuring guilds that built the city as home.
Where do we go from there?
What comes after is up to you! Go on an adventure. Make some friends. Throw your stoic humbug into uncomfortable situations at all times. It doesn't matter if you are not familiar with the landscapes of Luxendarc-- the internet is barely familiar with it as is, and we're going to be changing it anyway. As the game goes on and with player contributions, new locations and creatures will be added. A lot of them are probably very familiar. Scenery from characters' homeworlds may appear, as well as from places no one has encountered yet. Gaze upon this majestic piranha plant. Behold that mecha dinosaur in the desert. Where did they come from? No one knows-- no one knows where you came from either.
We're building this sandbox together, so let's have fun ♥
