Hope

An unimaginably powerful individual known as the Wizard hosts a yearly event on an island with a promise to destroy the world if not entertained. Twelve souls, chosen at random, are granted the abilities of Knights and must stand against a villain who cannot be killed, knowing they're only buying a single year of safety. The Princess will join alongside them as the host of the Protector, a spirit who sides with the forces of good, to suppress the Wizard.

The Wizard has always lost. The Wizard must be defeated again. Who will be chosen this year? With no way to know, the world can only watch with held breath to know its fate this year.

Premise

Hope is a small plot-driven roleplay that brings heroes together to stand off against evil. Thirteen players will make up twelve knights and one princess who will face off against twelve monsters and the Wizard. The 'DM' will play as the Protector, the Wizard, and the monsters the knights must face.

The story will play out over a series of chapters until it reaches its conclusion. Will the heroes triumph and defeat the Wizard or will the world be destroyed?

What is known

The Princess and the Protector are always on the side of good.
Eight Knights are always free to choose their allegiance.
Two Knights always feel a call to good and will learn who the Princess is immediately.
Two Knights always feel the allure of the Wizard's power and will be drawn to it.
The Wizard will always destroy the world if not stopped and cannot be convinced otherwise.

Interest

Because this is to be a small game, it will have to be driven by its players until it reaches its conclusion. A dedicated Discord server will be made to assist with coordination and plotting. This server will have both public and private channels, public to be used for building CR (character relationships) and private to plot ideas if needed.

It will only be known to the DM which Knights are good-aligned or evil-allured, however interested players can reach out to the DM privately to opt out of these Knight options before they are chosen. It will be known only to the players chosen what their alignment is, but discovery during the course of the roleplay is welcome and encouraged.

I, Skye, will be the DM. This will not be a public game and those involved are folks who have my personal thumbs-up. (i.e. If you're reading this, that's you!)
