Story: Jo was raised in within a civilization located inside
a forest mountain, hiding from the Demon King and his minions. He, with a group
of disciples, trained in combat in order to one day fight against the monsters
and reclaim what was originally theirs. They only trained using rusting and
chipped swords due to their lack of minerals to produce new weapons. One fateful
day, a traveling merchant came and displayed his goods to the mountain dwellers
and the items that caught his attention were a bunch of sparkly and
expensive-looking armors and swords. This was the moment where his obsession
for all things shiny began. He traded much of his belongings which allowed him
to buy a great sword, and only a few pieces of a set of armor. He also learned
that the merchant acquired/stole these items from the armory inside the castle
of Omin. And so, Jo decided to leave the comfort of his home and set off on a journey towards
the castle to rob the King of his armory and to collect more swords and armors on the way
there.
Note: He hates water due to a traumatic experience in his childhood. Another
reason is because exposure to water can cause his sword and armor collection to
rust.

Archetype: Villain
Occupation: King
Appearance: Clean, Sinister, Huge

Story: A demon that was born with the intelligence that of
a human and magic and strength much greater than any other creature. At first, he
hid in the shadows and avoided contact with any humans and only observed them
from afar. He had seen how the royalties were treated much differently. They
wore luxurious and clean clothes and lived a huge and sparkling castle, which
was the obvious difference between them and the normal citizens. He always
hated filthy things ever since he can remember, so watching them made him very
jealous. Using his intelligence, he managed to rally up his monster companions
and attacked the town and to storm the castle so that he may be king. The whole
town burned while he watched from his castle, and found the flames to be
soothing and cleansing, he became a bit of a pyromaniac. He thought that it was
quite easy, and realized his strength and decided to cleanse the world.
Note: He began wearing a suit of armor after that day,
because to him, it served as a protection against filthy things, and dirt can
be easily washed away. He uses a lance because it is a long-distance weapon and
it is more likely he won’t have to touch anyone up-close.

Story: He is a scrap collector that uses whatever materials
as extra parts for himself. He used to work in an assembly line, building other
robots in the town he lived in before it was attacked by the king’s army and
became uninhabitable for humans. For years, he lived in the ruins and collected
useable scrap parts for himself and hoped to find survivors and robots like
himself. He likes to eats shiny metal objects although it doesn’t actually give
him any energy, he is actually solar powered. More accurately, he is powered by
a magical mineral shard (found in the fantasy world) that absorbs energy from
the sun. He can also convert energy by eating batteries, but he said it tastes
like crap so he doesn’t like it. He first met the hero when he passed by this town
and tried to eat his sword. He followed him ever since because he was the first
human he saw in a long time and served as a companion and a guide.
Note: The hero named the robot SFX because he talks a lot
and sometimes won’t shut up. He has a lot of weird gadgets hidden inside him
despite its small frame, like a radar, stun gun, missiles, and etc. because of
the scraps he collects and builds out of them. Although the hero finds him
annoying, he can be useful at times and he also has sympathy for him as a
fellow collector himself. SFX would run away when faced with monsters, but
would come back for the hero by attacking them from behind, and then run away
again.
