Looking for some plot-related ideas for the Fire Emblem ROM hack I'm working on. I have some character designs in the works, though a plot to go with it would be nice. Right now all I have is the antagonist.
Basic plot: The continent of Pyrrhen is mighty. Neighboring Archanea, its citizens have long lived in peace and avoided war. However, darkness hovers on the horizon. With the recent death of Prince Alessandro, strange and dangerous monsters have begun to appear, spreading death and destruction all over the continent. With the king and queen ignoring their citizens’ plight, it is up to the avatar and their army to send back the monsters and figure out what’s causing the darkness to spread.
I do want to include the avatar system for people who liked the 3DS titles and are wary of older FE games. However I need a portrait artist for that and I can't seem to find any.
As for Maya, the antagonist, she's the princess of Torrenia, the capitol of Pyrrhen. After her brother passes away, she uses an ancient dark magic to bring him back. However, the consequences are severe, causing blighted creatures to rise up. Only the avatar can stop her, gifted with the ability to wield Divernium, the holy magic.
Looking for alternatives to the plot, volunteers if anyone would like to work on it, and gameplay mechanics that you'd like to see in the game.
