»The hero sexuallg harasses the villain and the villain complains so much to their kooks »Who sympathize and wonder if the destined roles were reversed somehow »Cause the villain is a p good guy

The Hero

• was originally a human who oracles foretold that he would save the world.
• was kidnapped at an early age by the church. they thought a human wouldn't be powerful enough to defeat the demon king so they experimented on him and made him a chimera
• is obviously not very happy with the church
• falls in lust at first sight when he sees a painting of the demon king and is instantly “gotta tap that” so he's like “sure i'll go to the demon country!”
• appears chipper and happy but is very calculating

The Best Friend

• is a rogue/bard/thief sort of class but subclasses as a maid. not sure if human or elf, gotta find her
• childhood friend, went into sneaky stuff
• dommy mommy vibes, smug af, can fake demureness for a bit but the moment it's just her and the hero, she curses the other party out

The Villain

• i actually don't have a look for him other than kind of demon king sort of feel.
• very very tired
• actually a good king, just wants to try and trade with the other species but they keep taking his overtures at attempts to invade when that's not what he's doing
• is not quite sure what to make of the fact that one of his demon generals ends up becoming the best friend's pet

Every birthday they stop being as much as a douche and just say like one rude thing for the entire day

My percolating idea rn is A & B are on opposite sides during a war but A never plans attacks on B's birthday, B always wakes up to an amazing gift from A. (On A's birthday A ALWAYS does an attack on B because, to them, seeing B is the best present even when they try to kill B)

Knight × Enemy Tactician, except the knight always sends him care packages despite the fact that he nearly killed him a week ago

• Magic + passive magic unique to each person
• Knight has the ability ti see strings of fate so he can recognize tactician years later
• They lived in the same small town as children but when the town was attacked by bandits their family went different ways. Knight has very distinct memories of that time (slightly older) while tactician does not
• For knight's birthday, he stages an attack on tactician camp to kidnap him and then reveals he and his team plan to leave their nation and need tacticians help.
• well, more like if tactician is fighting so ardently for them, he'll side with tactician and his team is in it for the knight and not their country

The Universe

Elements

• Spirit / Black
• Fire / Red
• Water / Blue
• Earth / Yellow
• Metal / Orange = Fire + Earth
• Wind / Violet = Water + Fire
• Wood / Green = Earth + Water

Pantheon

One main god – named Stolz – who's actually the overseer of the planet, able to change it down to its foundations. Their main job is to make sure the planet doesn't suffer from distortions in the space time continuum, which could leave to universal collapses. They're lauded as the creator god(dess) and the patron of monochromatic magics, but honestly they keep rather hands off towards civilization. Their 6 subordinate gods are truly constructs, although given their own quirks and personalities (because they thought it would be more amusing like that)

• Stolz (Spirit) Non-binary (adheres to no gender construct, doesn't care which way or the other how people gender them). Keeps a very hands off approach to the planet, only coming in when there's a distortion occurring. Name comes from german for “pride”
• Teava (Fire) Genderfluid (able to change their gender and body as it pleases). Probably the godling who has the most interactions with humanity, taking whatever form seems the most fun. People with exotic or overpowered Special Abilities are often told they have Teava's blood in their veins. Name comes from a transliteration of the hebrew word for “lust”.
• Ira (Water) Female. Is known to cause disasters for people who pray to her for petty bs, but seems p calm most of the time. Name ultimately comes from latin word for “wrath”.
• Voleri (Earth) Male. Quiet, unassuming, prefers to nap. Occasionally goes down to the planets to explore. Patron deity of explorers and intellectuals. Name inspired by the german word for “gluttony”.
• Paresa (Wind) Female. Calm and gentle normally, but can be vicious just like the winds she embodies. Name comes from mispelling the catalan word for “sloth”.
• Jiez (Metal) Male. Patron deity of craftspeoples, regardless of what they make but especially weaponsmiths. Name comes from plautdietsch word for “greed”.
• Kina (Wood) Female. Nurturing, bright and sunny. Oftentimes works as mediator between the gods when one invariably pisses off someone else. Patron deity of mediators, judges, and the like. Name comes from a transliteration of the hebrew word for “envy”.

Magic

Can be vaguely broken down into 7 elements or types. Most people can find themselves proficient in one or two, while prodigies may wield 3 or 4. Proficiency in 6 or 7 elements is considered legendary in this world. While healing is possible to some degrees in every element, what is considered “White” or “Light” magic is under the purview of Spirit, along with things like necromancy and subjugation spells. Magic is based on 2 things: intent ad incantation. While possible, magic is rarely as effective without the verbal or physical component (so spoken spells but also written or hand gestures). SO yes you can cast silently and without moving but magic has the tendency to blow up. Most proficient casters learn a variety of ways to cast the same spell.

Special Ability

All beings in this world is born with one or more special abilities. Most are very basic, such as enhanced hearing or night vision, but you also have ridiculously over powered things like “sneezes fire” or “can create any potion in any container that they can think of”. Some abilities are common in a species or region (such as elves who live in forests might have enhanced hearing while certain groups of elves might have gloomvision)

Item Boxes

An uncommon special ability that allows someone to stash items in a negative space. For most people, the amount of items that can be held is minimal, often comparable to a small rucksack, although some people can have larger ones. Items in an “Item Box cannot be removed by anyone but the user themselves.

Scan

A rare special ability. More information can be found the higher level the user is. Scan can be obfuscated, as there are ways to hide information that can show when scanned by those who are of a lower level. Scan also becomes unique to the user so no two people will see the exact same information (i.e. someone with the Occupation Chef who uses Scan might see certain monsters labeled as edible, unedible, tasty, not tasty without X, poisonous but edible if prepared correctly, while someone who is a merchant adventurer might Scan the same monsters and things would be listed with average sell price for various parts).

Soul Bound Communicators

A special magical item that is considered a must have for all adventurers who want to make it big. Allows for near instant communication with other communicators via ambient magic waves (although some areas are dead zones where magic waves cannot penetrate and other areas have too high a concentration of ambient magic that they'll interfere with the connection). You can link communicators by either placing one on top of another or with the creation of a com address (a piece of spell code that works like a QR, so say, if someone has a quest offer, they can leave their QR code at the guild and prospective adventurers can message them for more details. these com addresses can be fixed or temporary). Because they're soul bounded, they cannot be easily stolen (the communicator will return to it's owner once outside a meter radius of their body), traded or destroyed unless the person who owns it stays dead for longer than 6 hours. They come in a variety of styles, shapes, and designs. You can own multiple communicators. There are very costly rituals to de-link a communicator, but it uses a lot of resources, MP, and time so it's not really wroth it for the average thief. A de-linked communicator becomes inert and wipes any information on it. Can be hooked up to the user's item box for easy viewing of the items inside.

Beings

A catch all term for any intelligent species on the planet. Humans are one type of common being, along with elves and beastmen. There are many other types of beings too.

Planets

The universe is made up of 9 planets that orbits around a star known as Lobo. The planets are interconnected through special teleportation portals located within the capitals of each planet, as well as some other major cities. Some planets' orbits intersect which allows for another way for beings to move from one planet to another. Each planet is unique, with their own governance, values, and perils. The only thing they share is a pantheon and language, although there are variations of that as well.

• Kanxun. _ Capital is Darvaza. Name comes from the transliteration of the lezgi word for “love”.
• Radost. _ Capital is Tenaron. Name comes from the transliteration of the macedonian word for “joy”.
• Taika. _ Capital is Masaya. Name comes from the lithuanian word for “peace”.
• Gidult. _ Capital is Olkaria. Name comes from the old high german word for “patience”.
• Daya. _ Capital is Osore. Name comes from the transliteration of the telugu word for “kindness”.
• Hyvyys. _ Capital is Etna. Name comes from the finnish word for “goodness”.
• Vernost. A planet that is made up of mostly water, with islands dotting its Lobo side. It's strange orbit causes one half of the planet to be plunged in eternal night and winter. Capital is Murgo. Name comes from the czech word for “faithfulness”.
• Stedrota. _ Capital is Batagaika. Name comes from the transliteration of the old church slavonic word for “gentleness”.
• Enkrateia. _ Capital is Stull. Name comes from the transliteration of the ancient greek word for “self-control”.

The Team

Small start up company that makes apps and games. They've been in business for just under 3 years but the whole team has never been in the same place at the same time prior to this trip (almost everything is done remotely and this is considered a side gig for everyone but the CEO and the PM). The trip was suggested as a way to socialize and get to know everyone but it ended up with them finding themselves in another world instead.

Relationships

• CFO+CD: Online friends. unknowingly twitter mutuals in vastly different fandoms. became friends due to dealing with fandom discourse.
• HP+CD: Exes. Dated in university, broke up but remained amicable. Jokingly calls each other frenemies and loves taking potshots at each other's current waifus and husbandos. (They broke up because of irreconcilable differences on whether a certain character is fuckable which somehow led to a ridiculous fight)
• HP+PM: Kyl makes Luis test games for him. They have a very professional relationship. Luis was very surprised by his appearance, thinking he would be more put together.
• CEO+CD: Former roommates. Roomed together for a little less than a year, both making quite an impression to the point where they kept in touch.
• PM+CFO: Passive aggressive email chains. Don't see eye to eye on organization of company and filing systems.
• CEO+CFO: Childhood friends. Grew up together, Paz used to babysit Lyn when she was younger.
• CFO+HP: Paz constantly has to remind Kyl that there are labor laws and that they can only pay him so much in OT. Kyl gets strongly worded emails every time he fails to accurately log his hours and Paz sometimes always knows.

• PM+CD: Luis has met Tommi once and she scarred him for life (she was playing gacha games on her phone and was trying for her waifu and failed) – he's still terrified. Tommi does not realize this, tries to be friendly and freaks him out lmao.

Random Babbling

Cheat Ideas

• ability to create clothes with stats/buffs they think of/turn things into clothes (would automatically dye and cut fabrics and hides)
• invisibility
• barrier
• Auto-Enchanting of items (see Berserker's “Knight of Owner” ability)
• transform into animals? shapeshift?

Random Ideas

• trying to decide if they get to remake their bodies or not. if god gives them a choice, CEO jumps on the idea – not for herself but for CFO
• everyone gets appraisal / scan, large item box, and a communicator. possibly altered/slightly higher than normal stats via “god's blessing” (provides boosted stats, maybe even a res)
• instead of “another world” it's a “set of another world” – each thematically different. i guess 7 would probably be a good # since thematic but 9 has norse mythos. hmm. 108 for sins, lucky 13, 5*7=35... the plan is they all reincarnate in different places (“We didn't mention that we wanted to be in the same place” “YOU'D THINK THAT WOULD BE IMPLIED!”) it wouldn't be too much of a stretch to be on different planets would it?
