Hello there, everyone. I'm Frog and I decided to tell the tale of one of my OC's, but from the Guide's PoV. It won't match up to how the actual game works, but alas.
Chapter 1: Introductions.
Hi there, whoever's reading this. Allow me to introduce myself.
I am named Aiden Simon, although you may have heard of me simply as "The Guide". I live on the little island that was once named "Terra", but doesn't have any current inhabitants who have a name for it, so I suppose "Terra" will do. I get my title from my line of work, which is more just how my life works than an actual job, but oh well. For as long as I can remember, I've always roamed this island, wandering about, learning things. Some days, a new person will wake up right in the middle of Terra, and I'll go help them out. Tell them how to build shelter, how to make useful items from materials they gather, y'know. They usually stick around for a few months or a year or so, building towns and doing good deeds and such, but then they move on to bigger, better things. Not even I know what those things are, though. One day they'll just tell everyone to pack their bags and head out with them. However, not one has ever invited me along. Sometimes I wonder if it's because their knowledge surpasses me so that I am no use to them, they're just that cruel, or perhaps they know that one day someone else will pop up here and need my help. Either way, it gets lonely.
However, things changed one day. As I was wandering my way back to my little hut I own, I noticed a bunny stuck in a hole. I bent down to help him out for one second, and when I stood back up? There... he? She? It? was. A tall, imposing figure dressed in a full, tight black robe. It didn't seem to have arms, and I'm not sure to this day if he has legs. However, instead of a normal head, she had a big flaming ball of ectoplasm, similar to the wisps I had seen sometimes in the Dungeon. However, it didn't have a face, instead simply a wide, almost cartoony mouth. Around his neck was a large medallion attached to a thick, heavy looking chain.
Normally I'd dismiss this as a monster, but the method of her arrival was the same as the normal people that came by. So, I asked it if he had a name. Here's a more accurate log of our dialogue (monologue?)
"Uh... Hey there. You have a name?"
*At this point she jumped*
"Can you even talk? Say 'apple' if you can."
*It jumped again.*
"Alrighty then..."
At this point it occurred to me I was probably hallucinating. So, I figured a good night's rest would put me back in my right mind, so I headed to bed, the thing trailing behind me. As I got ready to hit the hay, I decided to do a quick sketch of it for no particular reason.
