Creation story. A meteor fell and on the impact crater, a settlement formed which grew into a trade hub. The materials there helped it grow strong, attracting originally the strongest in the land, as well as the most curious. Scientist and soldier alike. Then, blossomed into a flourishing kingdom. The soldiers protected the scientists and merchants while they provided them with the best equipment ever made from materials not of their world.
Psyonium.
The land consists of many video game worlds connected. The world is united under this kingdom.
The kingdoms are mixtures of known video game titles / worlds.
Not much is known about the upper echelon of kingdom rulers.
Obviously it's ruled by a person but they are super secretive.
The Ruler is a descendant of one who first discovered the meteor. That's how things are kept in check. So it's been a long line down until now.
The Ruler meets with the figure heads on their businesses and they make decisions with each other about how things roll out for the land.
Societal Advisors (people) - Military Generals (weapons)- Merchant Heads (product), Banker Heads (money), Farmer Heads (food!).
1 guy is the figure head, then they have a team of people who run their operations.
So the businesses and stuff that exists in the realm all revolve around these things.
The figure heads can be iconic video game characters, but like, parodies, so a character that is similar to Sonic could run the bank, and the coins / money could be rings of some kind. Or it could be a Mario brother, and they have coins from the Mario games.
The title screen could be something like this so we can introduce the land:
Darkness. A heavy click sound and a flash of the screen. Like turning on an old Nintendo game.
"Oliver & Monsterbutt."Climbs up into the middle of the screen and a "ping" sound.
Video game-esk, with pixelation and little glimmers. The letters are built from things gamey-
The letters are on top of a wide shot of a large kingdom. A giant Castle in the middle, a few large buildings that come down a hill into several houses / smaller buildings then there's the grassy trees and bushes..
A flash of lightening and we see Oliver walking through the bottom of the screen. Behind him a lumbering big monster (MB), behind that is another boy (Sohn) and behind him is a sneaky chubby girl, (Celeste). And then a long line of soldiers and monsters that finish off with 6 larger figures. They are all silhouetted.
The letters fade as we go pan into the sky. We focus at the top of the castle where the sky turns purple and red, storming. An outline of an evil figure in the clouds. It's in the shape of the most evil creature in the land, and next to him the 6 silhouetted figures are there with him.
It flashes "press start" and an upbeat sound effect plays. It all fades and then:
Title card of the episode.
A red and purple storm begins swirling on edges of the land. We zoom into a small town on the outskirts of the land.
A boy walks through the center square. He's very simply dressed, nothing dramatic. A simple tunic, messy brown hair. Big blue eyes behind a pair of square glasses. His belt has a few trinkets and a couple of potion vials. His boots super worn down like he's done a lot of traveling. A modest sword with a chip in it and a worn bag slung over his shoulder.
Some young towns people notice him and celebrate his arrival, "Thank you! Thank you!" they yell. He is humble and smiles, waves them off. "It's nothing, really!"
He walks past the Inn, parchment paper nailed up next to wanted posters reads "Young Boy slays rampant beast, SAVES TOWN!!"
People offer him things as he walks through the town. He takes, graciously. But his smile is turned serious as his eyes focus on the storm brewing over the town. It all happens in a flash of lightening. Dark forces begin to overtake the town. Soldiers in dark armor, smoking Glowing eyes, no physical features at all, just shadow soldiers, storm the city.
Ollie helps people run the other way as he makes his way to the center of town. He dispatches these shadow warriors easily. They disappear into shadow dust when slain.
He goes to the center of town and helps a trapped villager. Ollie dispatches a few more soldiers and just like that it's silent. The storm is gone, no sound, eerie silence. Then, slowly the sounds of the towns people as they come back to see what happened. Ollie scans the sky and sees several storms off in the distance. This isn't just a single attack. Other parts of the land are under siege by these mysterious shadow warriors as well.
Royal Soldiers march through and help restore the town. An announcement from one of the soldiers cries: "All men who are brave at heart are to report to the castle grounds at once. This is for the fate of our known world! The Kingdom demands it!"
Ollie now knows his mission. He has a sense of purpose in his gut and in his heart. He needs to make it to the center of the land to make sure the kingdom is safe. He will offer his sword in the fight against this encroaching evil.
The video game land is under attack by a constant threat of evil. A dark force is invading each video game and Ollie has to go in and save it, but Ollie fails, a lot. Ollie can't save everyone. Some places fall and this corruption spreads. Several celebrated heroes fall to the darkness. Even O's idol.
Will elaborate more on his idol soon.
O's Idol is an old world soldier who defended the kingdom during a monster phase, and defeated a legendary monster snake dragon.
(parallel to Monster Hunter )
Desmond Destoldt the Great. Or just Double D for short.
He's highly respected and O had the privilege of hanging out with him on multiple occasions.
O has a picture of them together when they first met. The picture is of a hearty soldier kind of like Reinheart from OW. He's got a scar on his face and he's just a paladin type guy. He's wearing armor made from monster parts.
He taught O about honor and respect. Things his father never showed him. He was a big role model to him.
When this happens it could be a flashback episode to where O is younger, and new to the world and DD show's him what's up.
He becomes a bit jaded hearing about the passing of his idol, but one day he's in a town kind of just messing around. He's not interested in hunting down bounties or doing anything. He comes across a mystic and eventually he tells him of this weird future. (we'll figure it out soon it's a bad version of what truly happens, shit's mixed up in the order, or who's involved.)
In that future though, Ollie has a battle companion. And they tear it up.
Ollie works alone, so having a companion is bullshit in his mind.
Ollie is difficult to work with, his style is rogue and he doesn't want the extra "help"
O tries to make it to the castle but on the outer rim of the castle zone it's blocked by the corruption of this new evil force. He can't get into the castle at all. There isn't a way around the corruption at this moment and he's going to have to figure out something new.
A camp that is set up nearby is set and they have a set system where they are trying to get into the castle and stop the evil forces around as much as they can. O pledges alligence and starts learning about the evil forces.
O picks up a quest to stop a local wizard who joined forces with the Evil.
The wizard is controlling a group of 20 Shadow Soldiers and causing trouble to a farming family.
O learns from the wizard that the army is controlled by an evil ruler king, and 6 generals that keep his army in line. Each general using a special weapon.
The wizard was originally a good guy, but got corrupted by the dark magic. O saves the wizard and stops the shadow forces and completes the bounty.
O hears of a bounty at this far outpost where a general is rumored to be there..
Eventually Ollie comes across Monster Butt.
O ends up on the outskirts of the land where he stumbles upon a rouge camp of Evil dudes. The camp is built around a giant cage and in the cage there are flashes of light and electricity. A creature is moaning in pain. O can't sit idle while a beast is in trouble. He finds out that ...
The monster is trapped by these tough high ranking "evil" forces. They are beating him up pretty bad. He's restrained and cant fight back.
Ollie has to figure to rescue him.
After some kind of scheme.
The general has his weapon used against him which almost cripples him. O learns the power of these OP Items the Evil Forces are using to corrupt the land.
O defeats the bad guys and he's able to take care of MB.
The general escapes.
MB is saved, but wounded. Ollie is reluctant to help him out because of his lone wolf mentality.
Ollie uses his skills to help MB. MB is grateful and they part ways.
So now we build on who O is and who MB is.
Ollie needs to need MB.
MB needs to need O.
So a bit of a double story goes on between them when they part ways.
Ollie needs to fail and it needs to be saved in a way MB can only do it.
Ollie realizes he needs MB to save the land. He's part of the mystics prophecy.
They get captured by evil forces and help each other escape. They promise in the cell that they will work together.
They become battle mates. This could be a few episodes. 2-3 where they go to villages or towns and help try to put things back together. Like closing out the bounty board in the hub camp outside the castle walls.
They discover the source of the evil forces and see what the main bad guy kind of looks like.
Their relationship grows as they fight evil forces. But they aren't getting anywhere. Some wins, some losses.
They are battle hardened. They still have no new moves, or items or skills. They are just basically high level with bad gear.
A Combat Tournament is held where O and MB fight against officers and generals of the Evil Forces.
Discover the true evil master mind. He is overseeing the tournament.The main fighter looks familiar. It's a zombied version of Destoldt. Somehow he was resurrected and turned evil by the shadow forces.
O and MB meet Sohn (son) in the tournament. They don't fight but O see's Sohns devotion on defeating this evil. Sohn fails and is gone. (not dead)
Stuff happens and they get the chance to stand up to him.
O and MB fight Destoldt and get their ass whooped.
The evil uses D to fight O and MB while he escapes.
They definitely lose.
The drama of having to fight someone he loves, but knows is gone is hard. MB encourages him to fight on because it's not really him. He's possessed or dead and reanimated, because there's no way D would help this evil force do this at all.
Like ass handed to them lose. O needs stuff to help him fight against him. MB needs skills to help him fight with O.
They Discover the "Evil" forces motives.
O and MB lose because The Evil is using Over Powered items taken from each major kingdom. When used out of their game the items are unchecked and operate sporadically. Making them "OP"
The Evil Forces are going into games and stealing items that cause the corruption. O and MB have to return the items stolen to restore order.
They can go into games and get items that help them.
O is lost and aimless, both him and MB don't know what to do next. O just decides to work towards going into the castle.
During the war and battles to reach the kingdom Ollie meets a boy who quickly becomes his best friend. They meet fighting for the same thing and unite their quest. The boy's name is Sohn. (son)
They are close in age and they both have similar food interests so they clicked very quickly. They soon begin finishing each others sentences. They remember each other from the tournament.
Sohn tells O he's going to the mystic to find a clear path for the future. Sohn has a rough idea of what he wants to do but this idea helps O and MB get on the right path as well.
O goes to the mystic again and the mystic tells him of 6 items that will help him destroy the evil forces. And that he needs to restore the 6 Items the generals stole from each land.
- A mystical Sword. It's in O's favorite game. First item he finds and uses.
- Special Boots.
- A talisman / stone / trinket from MB. They have to go to where MB is from and it's a sad story.
- One of the items is held by a general of the evil forces. They use it like Mega Man because it makes the other generals weak.
- A charm or item from Destoldt. His Idol.
- A mystical blue bottle. Maybe the power on the inside is love? Or something cheesy?
These items really do nothing for him. It just gives O the confidence to be his true self. The whole journey is about him finding himself and becoming a better person.
Getting the items are temples and things done around helping others, doing things.
The OP Items are gained by fighting the generals. They aren't used in fighting, only the generals can use them as weapons.
The items O and MB need to return are weapons the generals are using against the game lands to destroy it.
What lands are in the kingdom??
Maybe the land is divided up into different styles.
- So there's a spacey type land that's like an alien type world, so Super Metroid and _____. This is where they do science and make up technology to help the land.
- There's a mountainous region that has stuff that looks like the Dino level in Super Mario World. and it could have a death mountain vibe to it with the huge mountain and the ring of cloud. This is where they get ores and metals to help build things.
- There's the jungle area where it's like Monster Hunter. Large beasts and monster roam the land and it's prehistoric so there's that.
- A plains type land where it's hills and flat land that stretches on for seemingly ever! Majority of the farmland is here.
- A dense forest level that has a Sonic the Hedgehog feel to it. This is where they get materials for building houses and what not.
- Lake area with swampland and rivers. The rivers all lead here, and rivers flow from each zone to this area.
The Mystic tells S to go home and there he'll find his true purpose. S begins thinking about all the things he loved from home. He's gushing like the Hobbits do in LOTR when they talk about the Shire. He's thinking about hitting the old pub and hanging out with his older brother. Playing darts and doing stuff with his family. He's the youngest so there was a lot of love bringing him up. He spent a lot of time with his brother, which is where he learned how to fight. He joined the tournament to win prize money to take home.
Ollie also meets up with a thief girl who is super secretive about her identity. She's a cute chubby girl named Celeste. She's a roguish / tomboy who's rambunctious with a mouth, which gets her in trouble a bit when she remembers she has to be incognito. She knows of O and his ventures across the land. She admires him and even thinks he's cute. She writes poetry in a little journal that she keeps very close to her. She secretly admires him that fact makes up for some pretty good / cute / wholesome fun.
Eventually MB gets sad about O having a friend, because they are best buds, but O goes through and reminds him that MB will always be a part of him, to the end. Because one relationship seems better or different doesn't mean he loves him less or isn't less of his friend.
The corruption spreads slowly but at this point one of O's favorite zones is near 100% corruption.
He goes back to try to find a way to save it, discovers a magic sword that when he uses it, it subdues the corruption. (a LOZ Tie in) The land is safe after he overcomes a challenge to obtain the sword.
They begin to follow a path that leads them to the Evil Forces generals. One by one. The sword somehow acts as a compass.
C tries to get close to O, but with her being so secretive O is reluctant. He's an awkward boy who doesn't know a lot about girls anyways. He's more worried about saving the land and being a hero!
She thinks it's cute but dumb.
Eventually they come to Sohns hometown but it has been sacked by the Evil Forces. Sohn discovers everything he had, and everyone he loved is gone. They are dead. He literally has nothing but O, MB, C.
S finds in the ruins of his home a large long sword. (like Guts') He wields it with such force and fury but when anyone else see's him using it, they always laughs at him because they don't believe he can use it properly. He's kind of an aggressive show boat.
It was his brothers sword. It's made from SHMETAL. A special material derived from the meteor itself.
O and C educate S about the metal Psyonium and whatnot but S doesn't care and remembers his brother and family fondly.
They defeat 1 General..
and on the second one he defects and helps O and MB with their journey but is then killed by the last general of the 3 they face.
The defective one tells them that if the land becomes fully corrupted it will all cease to be. It will be "turned off" and everything will go black. Everyone will stop existing. Nothing can restore it if it gets turned off. The Evil Ruler is sick of how things progressed and is disgusted with how everything operates. He's going to turn it all off and reset. The generals are promised a return to the new land and the ability to do what ever they please, rule the lands given to them as they see fit.
This general didn't fully believe and knows that if it's turned off there's no coming back. The evil ruler is just a sick murderer, wanting to kill everything.
Celeste origin story episode.
We learn about Celeste and her roguish ways. We find out she's the princess of the land and that's why she's so secretive. She's trying to find a way to help her father, who is sick in the castle. (we don't know the real story, he's corrupted by the darkness)
We discover that The Evil is the Ruler himself, corrupted by the dark arts.
Celeste is convinced there's a way to save the Ruler, which is why she ran away and is hidden.
She joined O because she knew he was adventurous enough to take her along and protect her while she looked for a "cure"
She realizes how important it is to save her dad so they can put things back to normal.
We defeat 3 more generals.
what's the end look like?
Celeste gets them into the castle, because she's the princess.
Sohn is able to hold off the bad guys as O and MB go to fight The Evil.
The Evil smokes from a pipe as he reveals the evil plan to take over the kingdom and delete it all. Pulling the plug so to speak.
He does a Dr. Jeckyl and Mr. Hyde thing. He's a strong human form like Gannon.
Then O and MB win, but then Evil consumes the crystals he was smoking whole, where he then transforms into a crazy beast. O and MB get an ass whoopin'.
S and C join up the fight where they all work together to bring him down.
Sohn is able to inflict heavy damage on E, because of the broadsword he has.
Celeste has something that paralyzes Evil, it separates her father and the evil force corrupting him.
It's like Castlevania SOTN where you need the special glasses to see the true enemy.
and O comes down with the mystical sword killing The Evil.
It's over. They obtain the corrupted items and they work to return the land to normal.
Celeste's father is too weak to carry on as ruler, but on her journey she learned all the things she needed to become an amazing leader and ruler of the land.
Celeste is ready to become the Ruler and the land is at peace with the recovery and replacement of the items.
When O and MB place the last item in the zone the show ends like how the tv turns off when you pull the plug. Roll credits. Boom.
