Fantasy Adventurer Couple Setup OOC

[SataiRolePlayingGuy]

I did not have many details in mind when coming up with the idea.  There are a number of ways it could go.

 

As far as the couple themselves go, I figure the boy is a fairly ordinary but skilled swordsman, the girl is probably some sort of magic user, whether offensive/defensive/both.  A few potential optional twists for her include that maybe she is not human/half-human, maybe a princess on the run.  They very likely did not know each other before ending up together.

Some possibilities for their adventure could include, trying to hide from, or fight when possible, some sort of invading army, some sort of treasure hunt, maybe the last survivors of a larger group/organization, who now have to struggle first for survival and later justice/revenge, or something like that idea, but the last survivors of an attacked town.

These were just some possibilities that quickly came to mind, other ideas could be considered.  The meeting is likely either the boy stumbling on the girl in some sort of trouble or possibly running into each other in some town and the girl ‘hiring’ him or asking for his help in some manner.

What if the boy is someone considered an unsavory type, at least in terms of appearance.  Like, a big dude, maybe has an eyepatch or something like that, and is generally viewed like some kind of villain despite being a nice guy underneath his looks.

As for the meeting, going with the general idea of "a guy who seems like a bad guy but actually isn't, yet people think he is simply because of his looks," maybe this guy is being forced to work on this quest to pardon himself from his prison sentence, due to getting involved in eliminating a cult that kidnapped his younger sister.  When she unfortunately died, he went into a berserker rage and it eventually led to his arrest and imprisonment.  As a chance for 'redemption" (in the eyes of the snooty nobles in charge), he's being given a chance, even though behind the scenes, they have no intention of giving him freedom.

One could always go with the classic "go and gather some super rare artifacts to prevent a world ending scenario" type of treasure hunt, or a cult going crazy and summoning monsters from another world in order to conquer it for themselves, or following that first possibility, trying to stop an army of undead soldiers under the command of a lich king.

...but these are simply ideas.
