MAIN CAST PLANS

———

LOGICALGEEKBOY

- - -

Logic is the crowned King of Legacy. He inherited the throne when his father was assassinated by someone, first presumed to be MythicalSausage, later discovered as Evil Xisuma, influenced by the Withering Energy. Logic is not always a good king. He continues his youthful playfulness, and puts himself in life threatening situations. Logic’s accusations of Mythical as his father’s assassin started a civil war which, in addition to nearly tearing the kingdom apart, also allowed the Withers to amass power, as only a King on the throne of Legacy is able to truly detect and stop the Wither’s destruction. Logic casually supports the Church of the Bee, however, he isn’t devoted, to the dismay of Chim.

MYTHICALSAUSAGE

- - -

Lord Mythical is Logic’s righthand man and the current default heir to the throne. He attempted to overthrow Logic during the civil war, but the two later reconciled and agreed to share responsibilities after the discovery of the Withering Energy. Mythical was trained in swordfighting, and can hold his own in battle, however, he prefers the arts of philosophy to war, although he will fight to protect his honor and name. Whenever Logic goes on his adventures, Mythical stays behind to tend to the kingdom. He’s one of the largest proponents of the Bee Church, causing him to clash heads with Lime, who doesn’t believe in the Bees.

SLICEDLIME

- - -

Lime is a god, who, when he discovered the amassing strength of the Withering Energy, gave up some of his memories, and all of his powers to take on the form of an elf child to investigate. He was adopted by a knight in the castle when Logic was a child, despite being unable to speak the common language of the land, only being able to communicate in an archaic dialect spoken by those who worshipped the Old Gods. He was raised to be Logic’s trusted ally and personal bodyguard. He is arguably the best warrior in the kingdom, although he dislikes actual fighting and advocates for peaceful resolutions to conflicts. His one goal is to keep Logic safe. He dislikes Mythical, for kidnapping him during the war as he sometimes has flashbacks to that time. He is one of the few in Legacy that doesn’t worship the Bees, although he was forced into it, instead spending his time cleaning up the garden devoted to the Old Gods. No one notices how one of the stained glass windows in that place looks suspicious similar to him.

CHIMNEYSWIFT

- - -

Chim is the head pastor and leader of the Church of the Bee, and firmly advocates for them. He oversees construction of the Honey Chapels, blessing them in the kingdom. He is supposed to be one of the closest royal advisers, and is jealous that his position is taken by Lime, especially as Lime doesn’t follow Chim’s religion. When MythicalSausage tried to overthrow Logic, Chim supported his revolt, although later claimed it was for the sake of the bees rather than any true support, as the pastor must be neutral in conflicts.

POPTARTKATZE

- - -

Poppy is a magic wielder and hunter. She often sells her wares in the village around the castle, and she and Lime have become close friends, to the point where Lime goes to her to ask her to track down Logic when he disappears during the war. During the war, she did her best to keep the others in the town safe, before Lime asks for her help. Afterwards, Poppy is the first one to stumble into a place of Withering Energy, finding it during a hunting trip, and reporting it back to Lime. She dislikes Mythical for the harm he did to Lime, but also dislikes Logic because she feels he is an incompetent ruler. She slowly grows to like the two more as she meets them when helping them investigate the Withering Energy.

PEARLESCENTMOON

- - -

Lady PearlescentMoon is, as expected, a lady of the castle. She spends much of her time doing art and design, however, she also does archery and swordfighting casually. She supported Mythical during the war, but advocated for Lime when he was captured. Soon after the Energy started appearing, she ended up spending more of her time as an ambassador, and later was also made a lady of, in nearby Hermit Queendom. She likes Chim, but thinks his incessant asking of her to try and spread the Bees to Hermitcraft is foolish, considering most efforts had ended up dying out, especially when the larger threat of the Withering Energy began to present itself.

PYTHON

- - -

Python was summoned into Legacy on accident when Logic and a few others were performing experiments. He has no memory of how he got there. He was let into the castle and worked as a servant, developing a casual friendship with Logic, who he thought literally created him. During the war, Python did his best to keep his head down and not be caught in the crossfire. When Zloy appeared soon after the Withering Energy did, Zloy recognized him as Python of Hermitcraft. Python discovered he was kidnapped by the same Evil Xisuma who tried to kill the king, and struggled to reconcile his newfound identity, before choosing Legacy over the other.

ZLOYXP

- - -

Zloy is a traveler, teleporter, and wandering trickster, who originally ended up in Legacy while on a search for the source of the Nether Corruption threatening his main home of Truly Bedrock. He scammed several people in Legacy, but his charisma and quick thinking made him able to escape from both Poppy and Logic’s hunt. His realization of Python being from Hermit Kingdom led to him being, while not liked, tolerated in the castle. If he would just stop stealing pastries for once.

NASHCRAFTER

- - -

Nash is a fortune teller, who, unlike some, can see small visions of the future. She usually travels with a wandering circus, making money off predicting futures. She accurately deduces that Lime is one of the old gods, not just a worshipper of them, something Lime swears her to secrecy for, when Logic and Lime visit her group. Unfortunately, she is eventually threatened into revealing to the Withers, both Lime’s existence and his location.

NIKOLIAN

- - -

Nikolian is a shapeshifter who lives in the moat of the castle. He has an intuition for magic, but prefers to try and stay out of harms way.

AVOMANCE

- - -

Avomace is a small-time Necromancer, raising and controlling zombies. He clashes with Zloy over this, as Zloy is a free zombie who hates knowing he can be so easily influenced by any powerful necromancer.

ARCHAELUS

- - -

Archaelus is the castle’s cook. He makes a very good mushroom stew, which he is famous for.

JERMSYBOY

- - -

Jermsy’s contribution to the au is still being considered.

THE PLOT

———

This AU adapts events from both S1 and S2 of Legacy, in addition to having its own unique plot points and spins on circumstances.

The basic ‘main’ plot is as follows:

Evil Xisuma is an entity created by those who use the Withering Energy for evil. After being sniffed out by the Hermit Kingdom, he goes to the heart of the Wither’s power, Legacy, to attempt to gain control over the world. Ex assassinates the king of Legacy, Logic’s father, and frames MythicalSausage, driving the plot into motion.

Logic accuses Mythical of murdering the king, something Mythical denies. While Lime attempts to calm the grieving Logic down, Logic declares war on Lord Mythical, and tells Lime to attack him. Lime refuses, to Logic’s anger, but does end up kicking Mythical out of the castle, a slight Mythical becomes angry for.

Under the suggestion of Chim, Mythical amasses a small army to overthrow Logic before his coronation, after Logic suggests that he would have Mythical executed for his crimes against the king.

Lime is approached by Nikolian, the shapeshifter warning that he has a bad feeling about the future. This is proven right when Poppy discovers that a ‘great darkness’ in the forest is amassing power thanks to the growing conflict. Lime warns Logic, but Logic doesn’t listen.

Mythical attacks Logic. Lime fights him off, aftempting to protect Logic, giving the other time to flee the castle. However, it is at the cost that Lime is captured by Mythical. Lime is tied to his bed and left in his room, heavily guarded, an experience that leaves him with lasting trauma.

Logic is found by Poppy, who shows him also the growing withering energy. Logic recognizes it, and recalls an old fable that, without stability, Legacy would fall to an ancient darkness. It is deduced this is that darkness, and Logic realizes that this is more important than the accusations, especially when he notices a small detail of a scrap of cloth, that happened to also be on the scene of the assassination, that definitely didn’t belong to Mythical. He realizes what a fool he was and returns to the castle to face Mythical.

Meanwhile, Lime attempted an escape. He uses a series of secret caverns, the same ones he used to help Logic escape the castle, ones he had found as a child, to avoid detection, despite that most of the guards were on high alert for him. Lime, however, emerged in the garden dedicated to the old gods that he had maintained, and found him and Mythical face to face. Lime is recaptured, but Logic appears and surrenders, and apologizes, to Mythical for the accusation, explaining what he had found. Mythical is disturbed by the threat.

The group, and other legates, go to investigate the energy. They find themselves trapped by Ex and the Withers, who reveal themselves and attempt to kill Logic and Mythical to leave the throne heirless. During the battle, Lime and Chim working together seal the withers away, Lime using Chim’s magic as well as his godly knowledge to protect Legacy…

Mostly. Evil Xisuma escapes, to fight another day.

Mythical and Logic have a jousting tournament, Logic winning, to determine their new ruler. However, Logic decides that the two would work best if they worked together like they did during the battle with the withers, instead of falling apart.
