THE ROYAL TRIALS OF THE HEIR OF GELIDRA
So, for anyone interested in helping me brainstorm this, I’ve been plotting an overall story arc for Hala since her creation. The general theme is that, as the daughter of a Demon Lord (of an admittedly small region within the Demon Realm), Hala will have to prove herself worthy of returning to her homeland and claiming the throne. How, exactly, is up for debate.
The big thing is that I wanted to make this a far more social deal, and actually integrate the story of Hala and her struggles into the community we have here. Exactly when these trials will occur will be based on Hala’s current Power Level, and a few other factors (such as environmental events). So, what’s the theme of these trials?
Basically, Hala will have to uncover and conquer former servitors of her Clan - fellow Demons whose corruption got the better of them and thus forced Hala’s father to expel them from the realm. For those of you familiar with the gem of a game that is Shadow of the Colossus, that’s part of the inspiration behind this idea. Each of these Demons will be powerful NPCs, specifically when compared to Hala herself, and she (alongside whoever’s with her at the time) will likely have to find a way to best these beasts. Sheer force alone can only do so much!
I’m using this thread as a point of discussion, brainstorming, critique and such in regards to this plot! Heck, it’ll also serve as a sort of thread tracker for when I plan the next trial to commence, so if you’re ever interested, take a gander and let me know!
Hala’s Power Level | Trial Beast Theme | ~10,000 | Unknown |
Trial Beasts Demons expelled from Hala’s realm, turned corrupt (more so than normal) and vicious. Each effective arc in Hala’s story will introduce and revolve around these ferocious foes, who have also been scattered about the mortal realms. Each has a number of theme focuses, or so my goal suggests, much like Hala herself does. So, what kind of themes am I looking for?
Čert Zbrane – (Slovak; “Demon Arms”) A unique form of magical materialisation to which members and highly ranked retainers of the Gelidra Clan were privy. This power allows the Demon in question to forge weapons and objects from a particular elemental matter, charging them with focused Ki that adopts another elemental effect of sorts. Hala’s use of Čert Zbrane revolves around ice and lightning; she conjures snow and hail which condenses into armaments of supernatural durability, then charges them with her Ki to create vivid violet arcs of electricity. Each servitor will also have access to this power, albeit with different materials; fortunate individuals who become Hala’s retainers in character may even be taught this power!
Emotional Focus Each Demon will possess a focus of their being, surrounding a particular emotion or state of mind. Obviously, as they’re Demons, it needs to be something negative, or rather ambiguous at best. I didn’t want to commit to the theme of the Seven Deadly Sins with this, because that’s a real common reference and I’m always one for trying to think outside of the box. Though not necessarily obvious, especially as it’s usually obscured by her drunken state, Hala’s theme is her cold and callous temperament.
Mythical Origins Hala’s name and elemental themes originate from Slavic Mythos; Storm Demons known as Ale were said to bring hail and thunder to destroy the crops of villagers. Though Slavic origins would be nice, I’m really not too fussed about which these Demons end up being focused on. There’s plenty of monstrous entities in mythology from all around the world, and Slavic is just scratching the surface! It doesn’t have to be as tight a bond as Hala’s is to her origins, though that doesn’t mean there shouldn’t be some sort of connection!
