Right, got a few weeks of R&R after a couple ugly years. Figured I could use it to start something new and see how fr I can take it. And to keep it simple on my brain and go against QQ's trend, I'll stick to my roots.
I present to you: Answering the Call! A generic story of High Adventure.
The world is changing. It is becoming darker, more hostile. Monsters are more agressives, boldly invading the territories of man with no fear. The empire is gearing for war, getting ready to conquer the entire world. In their towers, Sorcerers seeks greater powers in ancient tomes, failing to realize that they will only find their doom. Ancient Evil is waking from its slumber once more and it is eager to plung the world into darkness once more.
Though, what sort of world is this?
[] Heroic fantasy: The most cliche of it all. Standard Sword & sorcery stuff. Nature is good, Industry is bad. The most advanced thing in the setting is a magic powered airship or a fortress of DOOM.
[] Steampunk: The power of coal! Steam train! Steam ships! Steam planes! Gun has replaces the bows and clever mechanism empowers armor instead of enchantment. Science has spread, and it is in a bitter and drawn out fight with magic. Which will emerge victorious? It might be up to you.
[] "Cyber"punk: The fight is over, and the contestants knocked each other out. They drank too much at the afterparty, promptly engaging in a brutal shouting match as a second bout. The third on came soon after, in bed. Thus little Magitech was born and she's a darling! Now this is a world of chrome and silver where everything is possible! Monsters-infested wilderness and ancient civilization ruins are still present for all your adventuring needs, but your cool horse is now a bike. Expect mad scientists, sleek powered armor, nanomachines, henshin heroes and clone armies.
[] Space Opera: Or put another way:
The bike has become a starship, your hometown a entire planet. The elves have replaced their tiny skirts for skintight suits. Yet evil still lurks and the Empire is stronger than ever. You have a lightsaber, don't be surprised when the Death Star comes for you.
This is the main flavor of the setting but you can []write-in specific element you want in or out of any setting. Monstergirls? Giant robots? No fantasy races? Magic less widespread? If your option gather a third of the total vote, it'll be thrown in.
So that's the world. It is as beautiful as it is cruel and it is about to face a challenge like never before.
But that's still a secret, something ordinary folks knows nothing about as they enjoy their daily lives. Where you live is no different.
Where is that anyway?
[]Beloved peasant village: If there's a bright center to the universe, this is the place that it's farthest from. You live if the middle of nowhere, and contact with the larger world are sporadic at best. You know absolutely nothing about the larger world but your people are a hard-working, practical lot, used to defend themselves from the danger of the wilds.
[] Town of adventure: Maybe it's close to an important location or maybe it's a major regional hub but your town is always bustling with activity. Whether it's merchant caravans or adventurers, everyone come through its gates eventually, hoping to strike gold. They brings with them the latest news and rumors, along with knowledge and skills from foreign lands. Thanks to that you enjoy a high quality of life and your formal education was thourough.
[]Capital's slum: You were born in the shadow of glory, a step away from the mover and shaker of the world. Your life so far was harsh and merciless, but it made you fast and quick witted. It doesn't look like your life will change for the better anytime soon, but who knows, a single moment could turn your life around.
[]Write-in
Ah, so that's the doomed hometown. Neat.
What about you, then? From the outside, you look like a pretty teenage boy. And honestly, you don't feel any different. But that's the furthest thring from the truth isn't it? You're the protagonist. The main character, the one everything revolves around. You're the hero. You're pretty much a can of untapped awesome waiting to be unleashed on the world. But what kind, exactly?
[]The Chosen One: The Powers that be saw Evil coming a mile's away, so they decided to be proactive. No, they didn't burn the book holding the Dark Lord's resurection ritual or smithe the dude trying something that stupid. They didn't send an elite Angel strike force to cut down the monster's army to size before they became nearly unstoppable. No, they looked over all the kids that would be of a good heroing age right when the forces of Evil hit their peak and ravaged the world and decided he'd be the one to barely turn the tides at the darkest hour. That poor sucker is you, but the role comes with a prophecy and a sweet artefact of power to gather to defeat the bad guy.
[]The lost Bloodline: You were found as a baby by a single woman who took you in and raised you as her own. Yo know nothing of the legacy you carry within, but your blood sings with conflict and the challenges ahead are sure to awaken it.
[]Natural born badass. Mom and dad are ordinary, average folks. No gods watched your way and blessed you at birth. No fate was put on your shoulder. And yet somehow, you're the ace. You are stronger, faster, smarter, and plain better than your peers. You have no hidden power or family heirloom but whatever path you'll take, you'll become legend.

Finally, decide the level of lewd.
[]Chaste hero: One waifu, only hand holding on screen and one kiss at the wedding.
[] "Normal" hero: You're a teen with needs and plenty of girls to choose from. By god you're going to take advantadge of it. Expect "tame" harem shenanigans but in the end you'll have to pick one. Unless you're really good at this.
[] Ecchi hero: It's all about the boobies. Clothing damage and walking into women while their changing clothes are common occurence. Women will fall for you for the flimsiest reason and never fall out, regardless of how many other girls you pick up. The lewd becomes frequent and highly graphic here. Put in NSFW section.
[] Rance hero. It's all about you. Or rather your "sword". In whatever orifice's available. Consent is optional. Horrendously NSFW.
