STRIKE THE EARTH - a Shovel Knight Valor game
What the fuck is this
It's a tabletop campaign duh
Jokes aside, this is a campaign set in the world of Shovel Knight, a rambunctious age where knights of all stripes abound, shenanigans happen, and nobody is really that sure what the technology level is??
In another place and time, this might involve the story of a certain knight who turned to simpler ways after the death of his partner, and a certain tower that rose in infamy and covered the land in darkness.
This is not that place or time so let's just skip ahead a bit.
WHAT IS MY CHARACTER DOING TELL ME
You are a Something Knight on a journey to fight in a legendary tournament that will, if you are crowned winner, grant you your heart's desire.
However, you must have a certain charm to be entered as a legitimate participant.
Player characters can start with this charm - be sure to include how they got it in the first place.
They can also not start with a charm, and be looking for one. Mug someone for it you know you want to
Charms can be taken. Charms can be given. They can be stolen. Pried from someone's cold dead corpse, et cetera. Charms attract trouble (but thankfully the effect does not compound if multiple charms are within the same area), as if you're being tested for the right to enter.
It's much safer to travel in groups than a knight alone, despite the dangers and suspicion such a journey brings. But it begs the questions:
What will you do when the time comes for you to part?
How far are you willing to go to ensure you can obtain your heart's desire?
For if anyone knows anything about the tournament, it is this:
There can only be one winner.
Are you interested? FILL OUT THIS FORM HELLO
Name and Plurk Handle:
General availability - what times and days would you consistently be able to make game?:
Character concepts: GIMME YOUR KNIGHTS. Go into as little or as much detail as you like. Do they have real names? Do they not? What is their deepest darkest 'i would absolutely shank a motherfucker' heart's desire?
Setting and Game Questions: Do you have any questions? I WILL DO MY BEST TO ANSWER.
One fact about the tournament in question:

Setting and Game Questions: Do you have any questions? I WILL DO MY BEST TO ANSWER.
One fact about the tournament in question:
no subject
Availability: Can't do Thursday and Friday evenings (EST). Depending on if this is a text or voice game, I also may not be able to do Weds. Otherwise I should be okay.
Character concepts:
Mouse Knight (alternate: Hare Knight, Jackalope Knight). Not an anthropomorphized animal-person or even a larger version of a mouse. It's a mouse-sized talking mouse in a suit of armor, who can still throw down with the best of them. Mouse Knight came from a colony of mice (or warren of rabbits) that is being threatened by some kind of natural disaster or plague, which all of Mouse Knight's personal physical strength can't fix.
Alternately, if it is believed that Heart's Desire can bring back the dead, then the colony has been wiped out (watership-down style, by some human construction site), and Mouse Knight's quest is to bring them back.
Setting and Game Questions: See above - asking if there are ~genie wish rules~ that confirm whether resurrection is a thing or not.
One fact about the tournament in question: It is rumoured that one of the rival competitors is a previous winner. How is this possible, and what more could that person possibly want, if they already found their heart's desire?
no subject
So, yes, with that wording, it's safe to say that resurrection is entirely possible.
