There seems to be--
A need.
The dice lay still, and yearn to be in motion.
Heroes have been forgotten, but are placed again on the landscape board of the mind's eye. Their figures cut colourful silhouettes agianst the game board. The board is a tapestry of emotion, of memories -- and of attitude.
The music that plays thrums along the instrument strings of fate, with serendipity. Crackling energy, comfort, focus, and laughter - you choose the song and how you hear it.
Monsters litter the spaces ahead, their large, still figures painted with gore, casting shadows in the clear light.
You have been fighting. This entire time. You just didn't know it. And the monsters -- they're more than the systematically placed inhabiting agents of the process of inhibition. They are mindless. And they are your path to improvement.
But who... who are you? Wait... that's not right.
"Who am I?"
"My name is Hemi, and I am meaning. I am purpose, I am choice. I am the energy of this life's inception."
I am burdened. I am an agent within this world, and have been offered a goal, and a path through which to achieve it. I must learn the rules game and follow them.
My quest is to live! It is to reach that point above the edge of achievement's peak. It is to honour the game that has been made for me by playing it to my best ability to win. It honours my opponents, and it acknolwedges my fellow players with respect.
The tool I have been given is myself - my abilities, my skills, my choices and how they shape my character's personality.
It is, also, my burden.
... It's hard. This game is slow. Decisions made now can come to fruition in many days time; and that is with little ambition, for basic tasks. Completing a task can turn into a quest simply by its need to be repeated consistently.
The cool part about this game is that its core processing rate can be increased through upgrades and levelling. That's nice.
"So, wait... who are you?"
You've known what character you are for a while now. Sure, you're a mix of classes and unrelated skills. You're a bundle of choices you made and choices made for you. Youre also a Premium Bundle Subscription. You're the whole package.
"So, uh... who's it gonna be?"
-------------------------------------------
"Ah, what the heck, I'll give myself a cool sword."
A flash of green light sparkes and fizzles away.
"Leaf Blade!"
