I also fixed the links to the various updates of the topic at the bottom and I also decided to add in index section to the OP.
Introduction &^
Aliahan, a modest castle/city stark against the land in turning tides of the ocean, far away from the great contents of the world.
An army is the only true protection against war and the champion Ortega is Aliahan's grand hero. Without him, truly there can be no peace greater than the Aliahans know. But the small peaceful land of Aliahan holds little sway over this brash man, save for his heir to his name.
Woman: Pant, pant... Is it true that Ortega had a baby?
*Soldier: That's right! I hear the baby's very lively too!
**Man: Any child of Ortega, Aliahan's hero, is sure to become a great warrior.
Woman: That's true. We should go see the baby!
Though, a child is a great hold to anyone of responsibility, danger is even greater.
*King: Listen! Ortega, the hero of Aliahan, will finally depart for the evil lord's castle! The journey is sure to be hard. But Ortega is our-no- the world's only hope! I am confident he will wrest peace back from the wicked. Now, let us give a hero's send off to the great Ortega!
Soldiers: Aye!
Baramos, a name and creature not known to the many living in this world is a threat to all. As the day of Ortega's departure grows closer, the good will of Aliahan extends their hand of generosity and support to their hero indefinitely.
Merchant: Good morning, madam. Your Ortega's leaving soon.
*Blacksmith: We'd like him to have this. It's the least we can do.
**The Wife: Oh... This helmet?
The day of Ortega's departure is soon. Not everyone anticipates this day with enthusiasm.
The Wife: Can't this wait until the baby is a little older?
*Ortega: I'm sorry, understand this. There will not be peace without sacrifice. Not only for the others... But for you and the baby too.
**The Wife: I understand, dear. I'm sorry. But please... please be careful...
And so leaves our hero.
His journey leads him to strange lands meeting even stranger people!
He ventures where no mere mortal would ever dare, and fights the creatures plaguing the world.
Though, not every battle is won without injury.
Child: Grandpa! There's a man passed out! He has a weird helmet on!
*Grandpa: What? Quick, go get your father!
**Child: Yes grandpa.
Slaying fell beast across the land, leaves many citizens of foreign countries eternally grateful to our hero.
The name of Aliahan and Baramos spreads further as Ortega travels across the world.
The journey is nearing its end.
Ortega has finally found the twisted home of Baramos.
A great battle suddenly ensues! The fate of the world rests on Ortega's great mighty swings!
The battle is clearly tied! It matters not to the combatants. For they intend for one or both die.
Though if no one can return to tell the tale of this epic duel, then who won?
Little to no word of Ortega has come back to Aliahan...
King: Hurry, what is the word?
*Soldier: Sorry, your Majesty. We failed to scale the volcano. Ortega's effects were not found.
**King: So even Ortega was slain... What am I to tell his family...
King: Your husband Ortega was...
*The Wife: Thank you, your Majesty. I've been prepared for this day. My husband fought with honor. I'm sure it was what he wanted...
**King: His loss is a grave blow. There is none who can challenge the evil lord. We are without hope...
The Wife: No. There is still this child who carries Ortega's blood. This child will carry on after Ortega!Somethings up. Your dad was killed. You want revenge. Get it.
WELCOME TO FUCKING DRAGON WARRIOR THREE!
Dragon Warrior/Quest 3 is a game that was first developed for the nes by Enix, which would later become the Square Enix we know today.
DW/Q3 is one of those games that basically helped define a genre (the JRPG genre) of games, and possibly set the cultural standards of Japan for a decade or two; it is also mistaken as the game that made it illegal for (in this context Square) Enix to not release
DW/Q games on the weekdays in Japan. No, no, that's a myth. Square Enix only does that due to customer complaints.
Since
DW/Q3's introduction to the world there have been two different versions of the game released, one for the SNES and then the GBC. The only difference between the two remakes is the SNES's graphical superiority. I probably would play the SNES version but I have two reasons not to. The first is that the SNES version was released only in the Japan; there is a translation patch to translate the game into English but; I don't feel like using it. Now the second reason for my preference to the GBC is that I played that version in my youth and there's a little less of the common JRPG grind.
The features of this game are, the ability to create new characters, a class system and a personality system. Depending on your tastes and hardcore gamerometer, DW/Q3 can have a tremendous amount of replay value. Seeing as how we have the ability to make characters at our whim, I shall and will create characters based on user input, no class discrimination either! I'm not sure what the limit of characters is, though if this topic does get popular enough; we shall see!
For your consideration &%
I may as well start by explaining the stats mechanics to get all of you moving in the right direction in terms of your class utility.
-HP "Hit Points" The level of abuse your PC can take
-MP "Magic Points" The number proportionate to how many spells your PC can cast
-ATK "Attack Power" The output of physical damage your PC can do (STR + weapons power)
-DEF "Defensive Power" The amount of physical damage your PC can absorb (VIT + Armor power)
-STR "Strength" The raw damage your PC can output
-VIT "Vitality" The general constitution of your PC, also affects HP growth
-INT "Intellect" The general ability of your PC with magic, slighly aids in magic defense
-AGI "Agility" The general agility of your PC, affects turn order and dodge ability
-LCK "Luck" Affects many things, one of the more prominent is criticals
Here is the run down of all of the classes within the game in various orders.
Warrior- A remarkable specimen of sheer brawn, warriors as tradition calls, are hard hitters and hitter takers. They are pretty much only lacking in the magic department. They can equip a variety of the game's weapons and grow at a slightly above average pace.Female Sprite
*Male Sprite
Fighter- An incredible attacker, fighters are the epitome of criticals in this game. They also move much faster than warriors; they often get the first strike. Their only hamper is the lack of equipment. Their growth rate is below average.*Female Sprite
Male Sprite
Clerics- This class is mostly a supportive class. They can cast a variety of useful spells to aid their allies. Clerics are average all around in stat growth and can use most equipment. They grow at a below average pace.*Female Sprite
Male Sprite
Mages- This class is the offensive spell class. Their magic can cause a great amount of damage to monsters. Despite being weaklings, mages have incredibly high MP and INT. They cannot use most equipment and grow at an average rate.Female Sprite
*Male Sprite
Sages-We won't be seeing these guys for awhile.
These classes are neither warriors or magicians. Simply put, they are here as odd people but don't doubt them; they can still be very useful.Dealers- Are for the most part, an average class all around, save for agility (low) and intellect (high!). They can use most equipment in the game and have a few spells (call merchants, dig holes etc). They also have the fastest growth in the game.Female Sprite
Male Sprite
Jesters- I can not really say anything that great about jesters. They constantly waste their turns and have nothing worth writing about in terms of stats and equipment; it's average all around. They do have an incredibly high luck stat and one grand secret (we'll get there at some point). Their growth is above average.Female Sprite
*Male Sprite
Thiefs- An odd specimen, thiefs are incredible fast, but are average in all other stats. They can use most equipment. At the end of a battle, they will have often stolen something from an enemy. The items can range from rare to normal. They have a fast growth rate. They also have spells useful for dungeons.Female Sprite
Male Sprite
*Growth means the amount of EXP to level up
This list goes from highest potential to lowest. For the most part, anything from four to six rank is average, not low.
Key
Cleric- CL, CLR
Dealer- DL, DLR
Fighter- FR, FTR
Jester- JT, JTR
Mage- MG, MGE
Sage- SG, SGE

These next two sections refer to custom sprites, skip if your PC is the first of its class and genderNow, because there are only a certain number of original sprites, I will create a custom sprite for a user when both the female and male sprites of a class have been taken. There are only a few rules to asking for a new sprite.
-The sprite must retain the original colors of the requested class. I.E., the warrior contains the colors, white, black and some kinda salmon red; if you requested a male warrior, then the sprite that represents your PC is already used by another user (see user list). Therefore, you must request a custom sprite using only the colors of the original warrior sprite.
-Don't ask for custom pallets. This is the GBC, teeny whenny memory restraints. Alot of the pallets are shared.
-If you and a user request to be in the same update, and your PCs are of the same classes/gender then, I'm going to have to choose only one of you. I'm not sure how affordable it is to actually seperate sprites and PC data just for the sake of using the same class in a few updates.
This part is only for if you're going to create the custom sprite yourself.-Again, there are only three
unchangeable colors available to work with. One is used for transparency and those colors you can use can only be colors from the original palette of the class you have selected.
-Sprites should be 16X16 pixels and have only two animations; there is no idle animation. Most of the original sprite look like they're walking in place for the most part.
-Please try not to have your sprite look like something completely different. I.E., don't have the updates with your character look like some kinda juxtaposition of the original art with something that looks like it belongs in a different game.
This section is on personalities and general uniqueness of PCsPersonalities are for the sake of story telling, mostly cosmetic in this LP. When requesting a personality, I want you to make a list of the three personalities you would like from greatest to less greatest. I will then see if I will be able to give you what you want.
There are forty-four different personalities in this game, five specific to female characters and three specific to males.

This list comes from here (http://www.gamefaqs.com/gbc/450388-dragon-warrior-iii/faqs/44873). It is heavily modified for specific reasons. This page is very spoily and I'd prefer if you did not look at it right away.
If there is anything else you'd like to make up about your character, go ahead. I don't mind. Just try not to write a novel or completely mess up the story I may have going. Though, still try to surprise me and most importantly, have fun!
