The Ultimate Fate of the Characters

Astrobot7000 · 04-18-2010, 06:15 PM

Since 8bit is over, and there is serious doubt as to when an epilogue will be made (probably never). what do you think is the ultimate fate of the characters? Specifically the Light Warriors and White Mage?

I guess you can almost look at the question like, "Whatever happened to X a year later?" Where X is the character.

Black Mage - Allowed to live just so he can suffer some more, because killing him would not, in fact, be punishment

Fighter - Took over Vargus School, taught a new generation of slothful airheaded warriors.

Thief - Went back to Elfland, made his nation (and himself) much wealthier, ensured the extinction of the dwarves, and put up wanted posters for the other three nitwits he traveled with.

Red Mage - "Deborah" is that pretty dancer you saw at the strip club last week.

White Mage - Looking for Sarda, and wondering why he disappeared right when the world needed him most.

Pretty much the most accurate outcome for each of those character this may see for a long while.

Thief's and Fighter's seem quite logical, except Fighter would likely cling to Black Mage until one of them dies. Or maybe not anymore after what happened with White Mage and the murders.

Black Mage's fate intrigues me. What is hurting him (I assume everything) and how is his life miserable? Details are required.

As for Red Mage... I see him trying to restart the order of the Red Magi... maybe dancing on the side. Although I don't see that as his end point, maybe a half way point.

Black Mage - After years of attempting to retrain himself to the strength to cast level 2 magic, BM finally runs into the actual old man who took his gold and pointed Fighter and BM off to the Cave of No Return. After a massive stab-fest, BM is finally arrested and sentenced to prison for a life of dag. Much to WM's dismay, BM becomes a published author detailing his life living with stupidity stupid people and their effects on others. To BM's dismay, all of the money is funneled off to a charity.

Thief - After returning to his homeland, Thief discovers that his father has instituted the IRS successfully. Unfortunately, due to Thief traveling abroad for so long, the Prince was now viewed as a foreigner and subject to all international taxes. To pay these taxes, Thief channels all of the novel profits BM made into his own personal charity fund. Years later, Thief's family is overthrown by the Snahp'krakal'pop Syndicate from who had been operating out of the black market for years.

Red Mage - Becomes the most powerful and successful PC in all of creation. He reaches five divine ranks and rules an immortal god for all eternity... on his character sheet. This comes to and end when he is run over by Queen Sara's carriage when she almost mistaken RM as a psychotic hobo transvestite prostitute blocking her way. She was only 'almost' mistaken him as a drunken hobo transvestite prostitute due to the fact that in truth, RM was a drunken hobo transvestite prostitute.

Fighter - After failing to guilt trip WM for not telling the truth, and failing to keep BM out of prison (he testified at BM's trial as a defense witness... 'nuff said there), Fighter "finally" creates his sword-chucks. He opens a school, which closes after Fighter's first demonstration results in the death of all of the students, the school's staff, and three people who were eating at the Bistro across the street. Apparently, even Fighter can't kill himself. Eventually he combines his skills as a short-order cook with sword-chuckery to open a restaurant where he can slice and dice food the customers order right in front of them, giving them a fantastic show... before he accidentally kills them. One of his victims turns out to be the Dwarven King who was in exile from his still-burning lands (damn those fires and the ore mines). The world heralds Fighter as the greatest evil of all of the lands for his massacres ("I'm a famous, hero! Weee! Everybody loves me."), except for in Elfland, where he is herald as the one human who is not quite as inferior as the rest of them. In prison, -- see above -- Black Mage learns of the world's fear of the evil Fighter, and weeps.

White Mage - She is praised by her order for her efforts to save the world from Chaos, but then they chastise her for failure in turning the Light Warriors away from their reign of terror. She is unfairly tossed out of the order, forcing her to try to seek a normal life somewhere. On that quest, she fails miserably.

King Steve / Princess Sarah / Drizz'l - Steve massive stupidity becomes partially overshadowed by the fact that his inane claims turn out to be correct in regards to both mana-energy and foreign affairs. This puts Corneria into a severe depression, killing local economics and morale. Sara manipulates her father into believing that he was voted out of his kingly position, but the plot backfires when the populace votes the piece of string onto the throne. Drizz'l plots from the background, rending the string a puppet. After several bad puns on the oddity of calling the string a puppet, Corneria sinks even further into economic depression, even though the string's popularity ratings shoot sky high. Sara realizes that although her father was incredibly stupid, the world population wasn't that far behind him. She manipulates Drizz'l into several errors that result in the string's term of office being cut short (yeah, more bad puns). Giving up all hope for the future, she takes the throne. Five years later, she finally gives it back and is also made queen.

I'll blabber on about other characters if I think up anything.

The Blight Warriors stick together because they lost their demigodly powers and no longer have the luxury of being believed to be heroes and so they suffer forever and ever except for Fighter who gets to live happily ever after like in the Shrek films until the next sequel comes out but then there is still a happy ending for each sequel so I guess my point is mute because you see he actually enjoys the company of his ultrabuddies unlike the rest of his so-called friends Fin.

Si Civa · 04-19-2010, 06:28 AM

They die. That's quite ultimate if you ask me.

Except Thief. He cheats Death so he can live happily after other jerks have kicked the bucket and continue screwing people over which means every single one of you and me. That's your goddamn happy goddamn ending goddamn people. Be goddamn happy now.

Neni · 04-19-2010, 07:02 AM

As for White Mage, since her faith in the exitence of Good in all People was utterly shattered by some miserable little spellcaster who's name I don't even have to say, I guess she decided to became an Abomination hunter exorcist, who dedicated her life to Clean the World of every person even remotely simmilar to afformentioned spellcaster.

But that's just my opinion.

Astrobot7000 · 04-19-2010, 03:22 PM

I liked your idea about prison Carteeg. How about this for character fates?

Thief nullified the contractual pull he held over his fellow travelers after the Dark Warriors took credit for saving the world. He returned to Elfland to find it brutalized by King Steve's mana-enhanced army.
"I don't suppose I should be surprised." (Thief is in front of Elfland while it burns. Royal Guard chases Messenger Hank in background)

Red Mage attempted to restart the order of the Red Magi, but no one was interested. He then became King Steve's military strategist. He was subsequently fired for insisting that Onrac would make a good barracks for his campaigning troops.
"Heh' oops." (Red Mage in front of Onrac being destroyed in enormous explosions)

After failing the Dark Gods' prophecies of being a nexus of worldly destruction, BM was used as a scapegoat for his group's rampaging. He was sentenced to 4,057 years in prison.
"At least I never have to see those 'holes ever again." (Black Mage in a jail cell)

After failing the Light Gods' prophecies of being the world's savior, Fighter voluntarily joined his best friend in prison.
"Yay! Now we can be together forever!"
"Whyyyyy?"
(Fighter and Black Mage in the same jail cell)

(Real Light Warriors at a circus with elephants performing in the background)
" "My cousin Gary can get us a job," you said. Thanks a lot Barry. Now we shovel elephant shit for a living."

(Dragoon and the golden chocobo in the forest where Chaos was defeated)
"Am I on time for the final boss?"

The End!

Black Mage - Probably continues to spreading chaos around him.
Fighter - If his INT stat becomes positive even few points he probably would realize he is only good guy in the party and what has been going on during their journey.
Red Mage - No idea, he has been mostly doing plans anyways for party.
Thief - There is world to conquer for profit.
