Premise
You live in a world where Magic, the power forged by the gods, can be used by humans. While this gift brought great bounty to the world's inhabitants, this gift was, in fact, a mistake. The Council never intended for humanity to gain this power. They only possessed it because a deviant god broke the code, infusing it into a world of his own creation. For this, the deviant god was slain, shattering into eight pieces across his creation. Now, the Council intends to corrupt the universe until nothing remains. However, the deviant god presents our hero with a hope. Your character is designated the chosen one, one able to collect his fragments, ascend to godhood, and fight the Council and save the world.
Beginning Scene
The story starts with your character suddenly waking up appearing completely different than they usually look. Their entire body has taken the form of a cute foreign girl in her mid-twenties(exact age is negotiable). Nobody recognizes you, you suddenly have lost the ability to speak, and no idea how much is temporary. Soon after, your character is approached by a strange girl who claims to understand what happened to you and how to fix it.
Format
The story follows our hero's journey to collect the 8 shards. There will be no shortage of obstacles. As the Council gains influence in your world, dangerous mystical beasts emerge, bizarre cultists conduct foreboding rituals, the environments grow treacherous, and you are stuck in the middle of it all. With only a single ally at your side, you shall be tested together.
Central Structure
Like the typical hero's journey, the hero is called to leave behind what they know to overcome trials in a world they don't, coming out changed for the experience. The idea is somewhat subverted, as the call to action is mandatory, and much of the conflict comes from within the character.
Expectations
Endword
This concept is currently at the level of interest check and is not yet a fully realized concept. I wanted to gauge how popular this concept is before I fully flesh out the details such as the magic system and plotline. I'm intending to do this story with one or two other players. If you are interested in what you see, have any questions, or anything else you want to bring to my attention, I'd appreciate doing so in this thread as opposed to private messages. Thank you for taking the time to read my work, and I look forward to writing a story together.

Expectations
- Activity: Daily or faster. While you don't need to post every single day, I'd definitely appreciate at least 7 posts total over the course of a week.
- Post Length: However long it takes to completely address the previous post and present something worthy of reaction.
- Character Depth: I want to see a character who feels like a real person and fits thematically with the trajectory of the story.
- Discord: I want to have contact over discord to discuss plot related stuff.
- Writing Style: Use of internal dialogue is highly discouraged. For example, instead of "Mike thought that the idea was preposterous" I want "Mike furrowed his brow as he confirmed that he indeed heard that correctly." Show your characters thoughts through their actions rather than spelling it out directly.
- Romance: FemaleXFemale.
- Anime: I use anime style images for my characters and creatures, and would prefer you to follow suit.
- Realism: Although this is a fantasy world with Gods, we are not employing anime physics.
- Subversion: While I've presented the premise in a straightforward manner, the details get messier as the narrative progresses.
