Hello!
This is my first post here so I'd like to introduce myself to everyone of the Bear system who doesn't know me yet and say a few words before we start. Dear God what have I gotten myself into from zero to party leader it's like jumping into cold water. I'll try my best, please treat me well!
I feel a bit overwhelmed I ended up as central figure but I think it's a good forcing practice like hopefully for all of us. I hope we can have a great time!
So if I have to be leader I'd like to say a bit about how I'd like our party to operate and how we will play. I hope Joy can get along with this we will always avoid getting dragged into your typical fantasy adventure and we may do the opposite of what is expected. Fame, glory, thrill, adventure, heroism it's all so exhausting and doesnt end well most of the time.
You know all the isekai adventures where some average person gets reincarnated with superpowers but just wants to live a quiet and ordinary life? But at some point he has to use his powers to help others and that draws attention. People start talking, more come for help, nobles or the king want to force you to work for them and you make a lot of enemies who want you dead because they are jealous or whatever their problem is. Good for the story, bad for the hero. We don't want to be heros. We don't want fame or attention. We do what we must to live our lives, we do what we can to help and make the world a little better, we do what we feel is right but always stay in the background and if we get too much attention we have to move on before things turn ugly. So the silver rule is to lay low and never show your power level to outsiders. The less they know about us the better we can work. Not like we could explain Alice and Ashley to others even if we wanted.
The golden and even more important rule to never forget: If you want to live a quiet and peaceful life you gotta be strong really strong so that nobody can push you around. For that I want to be strong so I can live in peace. Call it selfish if you want. I like everyone to be friends and get along but that's not how the world works its a cruel place. I cant save the world but with my party maybe we can make our surroundings a better place wherever we go.
You can see I'm already really immersed in this game!
Of course we do this to have fun but my idea of fun is to stay out of too much social trouble and drama. My host has already said, One Piece is a good reference. We're just a group of very strange friends traveling the world and getting caught up in adventures and doing what we feel is right. In Japanese such traveling party is called Nakama, a very powerful term hard to translate. And I promise I won't drag you into dangerous situations like Luffy, I'll do all to avoid them! Alice will get us into enough trouble I am sure.
Ok I talk too much because I'm anxious how things will go, let's start!
