Tale of a lucky jester

Around the late 1500s to the early 1600s there was a kingdom ruled by the Goldlion monarchy. This kingdom operated using a niche system that required many different mythical species to keep the economy going. Anthro hermit crabs and sea creatures controlled the ports and supplied riches that came from the grand seas. Griffins and sky creatures provided aerial defense, helped with the weather, and commanded the skies of the kingdom. Any other mythical being supplied the demand to their niche which kept the economic wheel turning. This means people who are born a certain species have a destined job, their own community, and basically a place for them in society since birth. People can try for different jobs, but it’s not usually encouraged incase that species can’t fulfill the requirements for the position. However, what does that mean for humans? They don’t have any magical powers of their own or abilities that can contribute to a particular niche. That means the human species became almost extinct near the 1600s after they got knocked off the food chain. A peaceful activist group realized that humans weren’t being treated the best by other species, so they fought to find humans their own niche in this society/ world.

Ideas were tossed around for a while on what humans can do since they’re not exactly useful. Eventually nobles were asked by the king to take humans in and have them provide services where they could. Humans are treated well by the nobles since they’re a dying breed and they have the humanity in them to treat them well since they’re struggling to survive in this world. Some humans are still not treated too well or provided for, but people still fight for change so that they’re cared for. The Cumbers family is a family of dragonborns with 3 sons, a nice house, and a decent ranking in the nobles hierarchy. They participate in the human protection program and house a couple that end up having a kid. Since the couple couldn’t keep up with their son that well, Jareth, the eldest son of the Cumbers, decided to pitch in and help. The child was named ‘Jesse Fiddlehead’ by the dragonborn after noticing that the eccentric child has a knack for going outside and finding such plants. The two acted as brothers and Jareth grew up taking care of Jesse as he tried different hobbies out to see what Jesse’s niche could be. Their favorite hobbies ended up being sparring and trying different forms of magic. It was discovered that Jesse is skilled in plant magic, and can use his ability to heal and protect others.

Around the time Jesse became seventeen and Jareth was twenty three they were old enough to gear up and try dungeons. There are feral creatures that plague dungeons and keep many treasures stored down there that they steal from the kingdom. If a party enters a dungeon and successfully bring back loot they must report back to the king to get paid for their spoils. For a couple years Jesse helps Jareth clear levels of the dungeons and they’re able to bring back their loot to the king. During this time Jesse would catch glances from the King’s shy son who is the next heir to the throne. The two are around the same age and they’ve had brief interactions while Jareth reports to the king with his other party members.

By the prince’s twentieth birthday a ceremony is held where he finds a partner to help him with the kingdom once his father passes down the responsibilities of the kingdom. All noble families are required to attend even if they don’t have a female heir to court with the prince. Jareth didn’t want to go, but due to being the eldest he was burdened with the responsibility to attend as the representative for his family. Since he didn’t want to go alone he brought Jesse with him and had him suited up for the event. As the night goes on no woman was up to the prince’s standards for his next queen. However, one person was and he had to make some arrangements with the Cumbers family to have Jareth part with him. Jesse was chosen, and the current society/ system was shaken up and in an uproar. This was just the beginning for what their lives had in store.


I am a little lazy when it comes to adjusting things on the site since there is already a lot, but when I get the chance I'll add Jesse and "Brood" my new ocs to the chara list, plus Goombie and Boogle... I'm still working on their designs tho, but their story is coming next on my to-do list.
