Today's Topic No, I am not the Chosen one

The chosen one is a pervasive character trope used in stories, especially fantasy stories.  It a trope I am personally bored with in my fiction.  However, I am not sure if it is because it is so overused or since it is merely that the formula sometimes storytellers are lazy in spicing it up.

So, Join Michael and Jeffery as they look at the chosen one character trope, and brainstorm out some ideas to modify the trope to make it a stand out a little more in a world of millions of stories.

So, Jeff was working on classes for his very-side-indie RPG video game and thought that brainstorming worldbuilding classes for a fantasy culture would be a great episode

We often think about fictional characters in a vacuum.  However, may people who live around each other have many of the same skills.  So why not use classes when you worldbuild.  It will save you time creating characters in your fiction, and lots of time if you are creating new classes for your RPG world.

Join Michael and Jeff as they brainstorm character creation in a fantasy culture.
