UNITY'S PROFILE

author=Marrend
For a possible Rosie tie-in, I was thinking of some kind of village-type in the mountains that serves as the Dragon Fist's training grounds. That's... pretty much all the thinking I've put into this, though.

Let's see what I can come up with. Everything below is subject to Marrend's approval, or any changes he wants, of course :P

Name: Hoffzen
Type: Village
Biome: Mountains
Character tie-ins: Rosie was trained in the arts needed for both combat and to seal the Wyrm Wizard here.

Notable features: The village is co-ruled by Lucelain, the elder of the mind, and Riin, the elder of the body. The largest building in the town is Dragon Fist's dojo, and the area around it also is a basic training ground as well.

Description/other details: The village is built right into the side of Hoffzen Cliff, and different houses are built into different layers of the cliff. On the lowest layer is the Inn and a peddler who sells items, weapons, and armor.

On the second layer are students residents, with the rooms bare aside from sleeping mats and places for meditation and reflection.

The third layer consists of the aforementioned dojo and surrounding training ground.

The forth and highest layer has only the House of the Elders, a building with a central Meeting Room and the personal quarters of both elders to the west and east of that room, respectively. The elders both sit in the Meeting Room, deep in meditation, until they have duties to perform or someone approaches them with news or questions.

Hoffzen is home to students from all corners of the continent, as they will accept anyone into training if they are willing to "forsake the errors of the mind and body to rise to the code of the Dragon Fist." Younger students are eager to go out and change the world while older students warn in the folly of getting too involved "in the troubles of this twisted universe."

yyeah. uh, i thought this would be a lot more popular after the character topic went well =x

Maybe we can galvanize it with more submissions!

Name: Temple of Garanaath
Type: A small shrine.
Biome: Wasteland.
Character tie-ins: Maricela (specifically the Blade of Darkness she seeks)

Description/other details: Located in the wastelands (perhaps between two dungeons or in a dangerous or late-game area), this demonic shrine was built in honor of Garanaath, the "Long Forgotten Deity of Writhing Bloodlust."

From the outside, you might think this is some sort of tiny dungeon, what with the demonic statues, twisted vines covering the walls and the foreboding atmosphere. However, inside is very little. Just some symbols on the walls that no one can read anymore, and an altar with a Sword of Darkness laying there. However, only one who truly seeks the infernal can claim this blade.

EDIT: Also, if anyone has a vague idea of a location they want (for their character to be located or otherwise), I'm totally willing to expand the idea into a full location and do the writeup for it. I can even come up with a name if you don't have one. So let me know :D (As long as Craze is cool with me doing that)

Hehe, thanks.

Yeah, I'm not really interested if it's just like an offline version of an MMO. Ah well.

Back to the topic at hand, I never did finish Star Ocean: Till the End of Time. I should go back and replay it from the beginning; it seemed promising! A friend of mine semi-spoiled part of the plot (which was prolly part of the reason I stopped playing it) but the characters were interesting enough to want to see what happens.

I hope so! :D I've been working hard on it ^__^

I haven't played a Phantasy Star past Phantasy Star 4. The ones after that seemed very different than the original 4. Kinda curious about what this new one is like.
