​

Today, you have been born.


What you are right now does not matter. Who you are right now does not matter. When you are right now does not matter. However, for specificity's sake, I will tell you this–you are a patchwork of base ideas, you have no real identity, and you are in the lowest fragment of reality.


Soon, you will emerge into a higher plane of existence, a dimension made of an amalgamate of fragments that have been pieced together by some twisted being. "Humans" inhabit that plane. When you ascend, you will join their number and their struggle.


...


For now, you need to decide what kind of "being" you will become.


I suggest that you start with a body.


[ I ] Start with your head.


[ II ] Start with your body.


[ III ] Start with your limbs.


[ IV ] No, something else... I don't wanna start with any of those. (Write in)

Hi. I'm Berry, the writer/artist of this Quest, which will be made with a mixture of writing and pictures. I'm aiming for at least one image per post.


I apologize for the short introduction. I'd rather you find information you want to know inside the Quest instead of through the narrative text. The 'you' you play as is a blank slate, so I feel it's fitting that you start out with nothing to work off of other than the barest hints. But just to clear things up, the character creation you're undergoing right now will decide what you look like, your stats (which I'm still contemplating whether to show or not), and your super power. After that, you'll be tossed into a city, in which the prologue ends and your adventure begins.


That's... it...? :^) Yeah.

1] if the head is inclusive of the brain and not just the outer skull.


Or else


4] Brain

[ I ] Start with your head.

**Your existence is not limited by the constraints of your physical form.**


Well, don't blame me if you regret it later... It's time to design what your head is like.


Your head is very important. It defines how you make your decisions. Humans call it a "personality," but that's just a lofty concept used to give themselves individuality. All just a bunch of chemicals and neural connections. Not that I'm looking down on humans, of course. Anyways. I totally am, though. Humans are so illogical and contradictory. What's not to look down on?


How smart are you?


[ I ] I am very smart.


[ II ] Not very smart.


[ III ] I don't need to be smart.


[ IV ] Is a simple question like this necessary?

 

[cupidcreep]

[ I ] I am very smart.

 

[Cez Bloodblade]

[iV] smartest option.


------------------------------------------------------------------------


My option analysis:


I] self reassuring which implies second degree smartness.


2] honest and humble.


3] foolish decision after you start with the head.


4] smartest option.

​

Perceptive, aren't you?


You are correct. Why would I ask you a question just to determine how smart you are? This question isn't exactly necessary; I could've asked you any question to find out more about you. The answer you chose has shown that you notice the little things more. As a result, the EGO will give you more information in every scene you are in. It will show you the underlying meaning, hidden environmental factors, etc. The other factors would have given other types of bonuses, but I'll tell you if you ever manage to figure out what they are.


Now, choose what you focus your body or your limbs on. Again, I suggest you choose your body.


[ I ] Body


[ II ] Limbs


[ III ] I want to change my answer.

Spoiler

I flipped a coin to choose, by the way.

 

[budgieboo]

​

Good choice. I'm glad you took my advice.


Your body is the ability of the physical form that you control. Without it, you will not be able to affect the world. Through the body, the usage of the head and limbs are implemented.


Here's another question for you:


You think that your parents are trying to kill you. How do you respond?


[ I ] I won't die here. Kill them first.


[ II ] Run. I can't let them catch me.


[ III ] I'm just being paranoid. I will wait for more evidence.


[ IV ] It wouldn't hurt to be careful. I set up some traps and a safe-house.


[ V ] No, I would... (write in)

 

[mindheist]

[ IV ] It wouldn't hurt to be careful. I set up some traps and a safe-house.

 

[TripTripleTimes]

[ V ] It wouldn't hurt to be careful. I will gather evidence, set up traps and a safe-house, don't let them catch me, and I won't die here.


All four points are reasonable, but together they make a better, detailed plan. If we are smart about this, we can survive whatever!

Perceptive and dexterous. Not a bad combination, if I do say so myself.


It's finally time for the limbs. Took a while, huh? The limbs embody how you impact the world around you, and what impact you have already made. Every action you make has a consequence. Gotta give before you get, and all that jazz.


One last question, and I'll send you off:


There are three friends who have been together a long time–One, Two, and Three. One heavily relies on Three to survive, and Three, being someone who is very passive and obedient, always acquiesces to One's demands. However, One must always convey their commands through Two, because they do not communicate the same way that Three does. Two wants to maintain the friendship the three friends share, so they always act as the mediator.


One will never grow because of their dependency on others. Two will allow bad things to happen because of their fear of change. Three will always be a puppet because of .


Who is at fault?


[ I ] Three. If they refused to take care of One, then One would grow independent and Two would be forced to change.


[ II ] Two. They could stop relaying One's orders to Three, which would make One grow independent and Three become free.


[ III ] One. Pressure from One causes Two and Three to fear and to submit. Without One's commands, Three would not need to submit and Two would not need to mediate all the time.


[ IV ] (Write-in.)

[TripTripleTimes]

[iV] Aren't all three of them at a fault? Any three of them can do something but refuses to do anything about it. All three are dependent to each other.
