#afk journey story

No, no. He's got the genre right. Specifically, greek comedy (but as the story goes on, it COULD be, in fact, a tragedy). It's okay, Merlin. We can't all remember thousands of years of advancements in literature, especially when we get knocked on the head as often.

I have found the strength to draw one (of two) OCs for AFK Journey. So let me record a few details about her here.

Lavinia

Close childhood friend of Valen. Her father was an Imperial Knight stationed there (Stoutstone Isle) but died on duty in her early childhood years. Since then she dreamed of stepping into her father's shoes, bravely (and angrily often) tagging behind Valen to prove she was no less than him, despite being nearly 3 years younger. Sometimes even managed to kick his butt!

Left for the capital at 11 with her mother. She hated the city and missed the island (and her friend), but then found the Heroic Order and saw that girls were allowed - and then didn't think of anything else.

She had agreed with Valen that they'd meet again as knights but he never showed up and so time passed. On occasion she'd discuss with her mother what he might have been up to, not knowing that he's been in Holistone the past few years.

Her design was influenced by the two other Imperial members Guywin and Joey. She isn't meant to have any special rank, but somehow the design looked bland without the touch of gold.

Her story would be experienced as some extended side quest. At that point she's been through stupid stuff and hit rock bottom. She hid in the Ashen Wastes for a few weeks, before Berial senses her despair. He grants her continued life in exchange of being entertained... so now Lavinia is returning to the capital to follow up on her dark thoughts and assassinate the current leader of the Heroic Order.

She would not actually be wearing her uniform, but some rags she got in Mauler territory a few weeks prior. Only after the side quest is over she'd be seen in uniform again.

Valen's got to attend an important meeting of the Solitaries in the capital, and Merlin joins for the opportunity to see more of the Lightbearer Empire (and refresh her memory). They run into Lavinia on the road and travel together for a bit.

"Who the heck gave you permission to grow into such a stud of a man?!" "The same entity that made you grow pretty beautiful curves. You actually look like a girl now!"

Then lots of things happen. xD Friendships rekindled and broken again. Attempted murder in broad daylight and witnesses.

Truths are being shared, faith and trust are lost. Futures put on line. Hypofiends and a Hypogean in the middle of the capital!

Valen nearly throws the towel on the Heroic Order.

Corrupted Lavinia versus Valen (and others)

Berial is causing chaos but escapes from Merlin and the celestials.

The leader of the Heroic Order ends up very dead. Lavinia lives, somewhat against her expectations and wishes.

Hogan saves the situation, at least he tries to.

The Happy End is not missing, though: while leaving behind the capital for good, Lavinia continues to serve under and among better men in Holistone. ;-)

Due to previous events, Lavinia's life is dependent on Berial's grace. She's also got some perks due to that but she'd much rather not have anything to do with a Hypogean. Thankfully, he forgets about her until I need more drama many years down the line. xD

And finally... she wouldn't be a playable character ever, her skills are boring and greatly overshadowed by Valen or even Guywin. I might think about her stats in the future but since that part of the game isn't what sparks my interest, I probably won't. *shrugs*

Thanks for reading. :-) Until next time! <3

AFK Arena fandom, I am so serious, if you care about any characters, do NOT wish for them to be in Journey. Journey fucks up everyone it touches. They made Lorsan into a slacking bumbling idiot. They made Lyca into a cowardly Mary Sue who gets violent if people suggest she doesn't have natural talent. They made Brutus into a pacifist with a big heart. They made Mirael a star student who's somehow also incredibly irresponsible.

Whoever you love in Arena, pray they never get added to Journey because the bastardization that will happen to them is not worth it.

Gavene only said Eironn might be good at cooking bc the latter was talking about how he'd cook the fish in the river and it would taste great; but he just had to bring up his bunny bf's cooking skills. What? He cooks for you? Yeah, yeah, that's great. Lucky you. 🙄😂

[local-angst-dispenser]

Trust that if something happens to Alsa and Soren I will break into this game and raise hell

[windblume-violet]

Do... do I go with the username for the running gag of "worst kept secret" or do I say fuck it and say magister Merlin for giggles to see his reaction

[baekuras]

Highly recommend AFK Journey’s you get amnesia, have hamsters, investigate arson, smite some wind, go on a date, crash a party, and probably more I’m just stuck.

You’ve got yourself, and call us Robin cause we’re a mage and got no memory. The game has character creation, though quite limited. Still good though.

We’ve got Valen who gives me Claude from FE3H vibes for some reason and a mysterious second sword and is a Lightbearer, the second recruit to your team and a good VA

We’ve got my favorite design in the game, Bryon, a Bird wielding Wilder who I pulled and has a great VA in my opinion

AFK Arena players will recognize Silvina, a Graveborn assassin who was my favorite Arena character next to Lucretia for some reason (IDK I just like her)

Every game needs a mysterious person tied to the protagonist, and you get Mirael, a flame sorcerer who calls us dear and has the best animations so far.

And also from Arena, Antandra, a dual sided spear and shield wielding Mauler who can make her own shield and also has a good voice.

There’s like, six or so Promo codes for free stuff, but if you like a game with artstyle, I recommend this one. It’s quite stylized and has a decent story. There is a small amount of heroes to summon, but it’ll probably increase as the game goes on.

I'm slacking so badly in zzz and wuwa...

[frugalkubal]

Finally got a Supreme-tier hero. ｡⁠◕⁠‿⁠◕⁠｡

I fortunately got the one copy of her (from a random 10-pull summons) I needed to ascend her to Mythic+. Furthermore, I immediately got her up to Supreme, thanks to my acorns. (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)

Anyway, Exclusive Equipment and Special Skill are unlocked at Mythic+.

And these stuff are needed to upgrade the exclusive equipment:

I hope to get a copy of Thoran soon, since he's the only one who's close to ascend to Mythic+. Then, I'd be able to enter Difficulty 10 of the Arcane Labyrinth.

I like the labyrinth here better than on afkA, bc having to dive into the labyrinth every other day is honestly more wearisome than fun to me.

Some Past AFK Journey artwork I made more than a couple months ago ! ( i think)

The story is great and the character designs are lovely!! For what it lacks in other aspects it makes up for in designs and story I think (I don’t have any complaints so far and i’ve been playing for o tink three months-ish)
