At the present, is the anime Original or Cliché?

Any one up for changing the setting from good vs evil to good/evil vs the void?
Think Disgaea type evil. Not so much Warhammer or tolken evil but business type evil.
And the void want to return everything back into nothing or non existence.
 
I want to make him a her, change the Dwarves to Golems, the Elves into Dryads, and the forces of Dark and Light into Void and Life.
I don't mind changing the dwarves and elves but having a female mc in a light fantasy has been done numerous times. On that subject having a male mc has also been done. In stead of changing the gender how about we change the race to an "evil" race?
 
[X] Sakura Sato finds himself on the path of the sheep, unfortunately.

Meh, let's go for humor for the start.

Void and life? You're all idiots. That's pretty cliche, you know!!!

Let's go for 'A Practical Guide to Evil'-esque fantasy world. In which the plot of everything is a literal Divine mess and the reality is more GoT kind of fucked up.
 
Honestly, I want to change the Dark goddess' name to 'Dave'. But I have silly ideas, so don't pay too much attention to what I say.

On a more serious note however, we could separate Light and Darkness from Good and Evil. As in, Light is not Good, and Dark is not Evil. Instead, the two goddess could be twins, and the 'wars' between them are really just the divine equivalent of a slap fight.
 
[X] Sakura Sato is nowhere in the city center, having gone to gather wood and herbs in the nearby forest. (+1 Fate Point)

[X] Change Dark and Light into Mist and Life. NO.

Two hours till the votes are locked, and I'm not seeing any votes pertaining to changing the setting.

Notice: in order for the setting to be changed, the numbers of [X] (Insert modification) must surpass the numbers of [X] (Insert Modification) NO.

So...:

[X] Change Dark and Light into Mist and Life.

Is a vote for a modification.

[X] Change Dark and Light into Mist and Life. NO.

Is a vote against it.

'It is by the inaction of the good that evil deeds are committed'. If you don't vote 'NO' to a modification, you are the sole guilty party responsible for fluffy pigs becoming intelligent and banning bacon from the world.

Remember it.

You. Alone. Can. Change. The. Setting.
 
[X] Actually that whole description of a fantasy world was a dream. The sheep woke up Sato.
 
How about changing him being a villager in the first place?
Hell, change his home village too.

[X] Sakura Sato watches the scene from the window of the church. (+1 Fate Point)

[X] Change his profession from villager to a hunter who relies on trapping.
[X] Change his home to a village about to develop into a true town due to becoming a trading center.

Fine, fine! I've made some modifications to it, but that's just because you kept nagging me!—Shadenight123
Intro

The World of Gaia has been for countless centuries under attack by the vile demonic beings of the Underworld. They, blessed by the powers of the Dark, have continuously attacked, harmed and annoyed the pure citizens of the many races that belong to the powers of the Light. The sturdy Dwarves, who work in their mighty furnaces in the depths of the mountains, have fabricated many a weapon for the valiant heroes who set forth to defy these demons and hellish necromancers. The gracious Elves with their pointy ears and magic, as well as keen eyes and nimble bows have held dominion over the forests for centuries, without once allowing them to be marred by the hands of the Dark.

The Humans, the most adaptive of races, has always been on the forefront of this war between light and dark, between the pure and good goddess Hikari and the evil goddess Yami. Most often than not, humans are found on both sides of the conflict.

Sakura Sato, a young boy, was born into a period of peace following the prophesied arrival of a Hero meant to defeat the evil Lord of Darkness, and finally banish the Goddess Yami from the world of Gaia. He is a Hunter capable with traps, son of villagers, and his village, formed near a riverbank, has seen a great increase in trade in the recent years leading it to develop a budding and ever-growing economy. It's a place rife with merchants and stalls, people filled with money and inns for the would-be travelers and adventurers, with a nice cobblestone path that snakes through it and a dainty-looking brick chapel-like structure that preaches to the good goddess Hikari.

There are plans to build a large stone building that will serve as the first of many storehouses, as well as a fully blown market.

It is a happy, everyday serenity that glows through the streets and eases the hearts of the villagers.

Not that Sakura Sato could know that, since he's currently busy stalking his prey through the undergrowth of the forest. He's already collected his herbs and the wood for the day, so now all that's left is the meat.

His ears are perked up, his expression filled with concentration. He knows that if he wants to eat, or sell his game, he must ensure the beast runs exactly where he wants it to run. Straight into his trap. Go straight into my trap. The whisper is barely registered by the audience, but it comes from Sakura's own mouth. He tenses, the deer lifts its head, and finally the game is on and he runs.

He runs for the prey.

The prey runs in turn. Hastily avoiding the brambles, the patches where the wooden roots are thicker and the thorny bushes, the deer is straight in front of his vision. It's a matter of seconds, and then there's a sordid thunk, and the deer falls down, straight onto a pile of jagged rocks hidden by a bundle of rope and a grass-colored cape of sorts (Hello, I think we could go for an alteration here. I've got a brilliant Idea. Do you want me to change this piece? Y/N?). A peculiarly large rock is left near the trap, and with calm and practiced ease it is lifted by Sakura.

Then there is a thunk, and everything grows quiet.

As Sakura's work on the game he captured goes off-screen to keep the audience from barfing, and ensuing this remains a T-rated Anime, what will Sakura do once he's done with the prey?

If we make a proposal to the Artistic Director that remains cliche, but still changes things up a bit, would we gain or lose a Fate Point?


[X] He will bring a part of the game home to his little sister.

Also, I may change my vote on this later, pending new information. But until then:

It might be allowed without any change in the Fate Points at all.

If I write 'Big Breasted Cute Elder Girl-type' and you go with 'Spunky Lolita-type', it's the same Cliché, just a different flavor and thus nothing changes.
