Here, the name for the kingdom could be Cirmaia. No need for a language, though they still might have an accent (same deal as how America and Britain have their own accents despite speaking the same language) which's probably be Cirmain, and the way to refer to the people would be the same (Cirmain). It's kind of based off of Australia, because that place was created by Britain sending their convicts there and them settling down in the place, so take that as you will.

My character could be Kalevi Cirmaia, because I'm too lazy to come up with an actual last name and I've heard of kingdoms that have the royalty share a name with the kingdom. They could probably meet by Ikio moving along into the Kingdom of Thieves and trying to steal from the king assuming he'd be a rich noble (he's probably rich in comparison to his subjects but he'd be basically middle class when it came to a rich noble from any other kingdom) and my character catches him due to the fact he is also a thief living in a place mostly populated by thieves. They can discuss from there, though how they realize they need to save the world, I don't know. I kind of assumed Ikio would know and my guy would have to force him to go, but if he doesn't, there would have to be some way to find out.

Aight, I made the thread (https://wolfplaygame.com/forums.php?f=20&t=76268). I'll be stockpiling all lore information and shit there.

Anyway, I'm also unsure just how we'll get them moving to fix the world or something... Maybe some Old Anxient Wise Unhelpful Yoda A+++ Intelligent Omniscient Dude whacks himself into their dreams and says, "'Kay, do this. Not gonna tell you how. But, yeah. That's your mission. Byeeee~".

I am brain dead.

But, I dunno. Maybe Kalevi saw Ikio's mug in his dreams one time, so when Ikio shows up and steals shit, gets caught, he sees Ikio and is like, "Hang on. I know you." And, boom, plot.

Mmm... Maybe they were in a dream together where some character (maybe Nothing and No One, but I don't know what those guys' deals are so maybe not lol) lectured them about the whole thing the day before they met while they were sitting across from each other? They might not have gotten a good look at each other and I doubt they would have been able to speak during the dream (like they were paralyzed or something), but that should be enough to insure they both recognize each other and know what they have to do in the vaguest sense.

I'm also trying to think of someone or something that's trying to actively stop our protagonists. Like, granted, we already have the whole "magic is evil," the kingdoms making magic-users go poof thing, and their mental problems, but I feel like we need some sort of force, the main obstacle, that's always there to try and stop them from getting shit done, you know? It could just be me, though. I mean, we already have enough conflict, right?

Mm. I'd imagine they'd both have to disguise themselves at least somewhat, considering my character's reputation as a king of a heavily disliked kingdom and your character's reputation as... you know, a thief and fugitive (albeit as an alter ego but still). Maybe at some point during their journey, they get revealed as the last remaining magic users (and super powerful ones at that) and they get bounty hunters after them or something, but that's not really a single and consistent force. So, in other words, I dunno, LMAO.

This is entirely unrelated, but what's your opinion on having multiple main characters? Might be cool to have some people come along with the main two to support them on the journey, but it's just a 1x1 so we'd need to play 'em, which would probably also be fun. If you're not up for that, that's cool, too, though. I mainly ask because I thought about there being someone who was consistently on the main characters' side because they wanted to restore magic in order to keep it all for themselves, but the only ones I can think of in that case are No One and Nothing, which I still know nothing about, and maybe a still-corrupt king of Majia who turned out to be alive all along because he had enough magic to keep himself immortal or some bullshit like that.

One other main character who's already going to be in the plot from the start would be Merek, Ikio's dragon familiar. Two others would be Irvine, some psycho child, and Damiana, Ikio's twin sister, but they won't be around for a while 'cause Irvine's murdering people in Kipokl and Damiana is in Taylbakus committing war crimes. No One, the once-Princess of Majia, and Nothing, some dragon who genocided her own species, are also technically main characters who exist from the beginning (though Nothing exists mostly in passing), but they're stuck in Majia putting up with their newfound immortality. And I have, like, fifteen side characters already. Other characters playing massive roles in the plot are A++++.
