hehe funny, i think it'd be funny if you just introduced your freind and have his pixel art representation be horribly ugly and fat and just have him killed by the main character because you thought he was a random encounter monster (because he is so ugly)

or he reads a sign to say "cafetaria" or "food" but in the native language of that place it means: "danger, boobytraps ahead dont go this way, it could lead to your death because the boobytraps are set to go off on anyone and anything who ventures in thier general direction, they are very strong."

You're Bob. You're a powerful knight. You're in a Royal procession (with fanfare. Think Parade) to escort the heroic Sir Adam to the king so that he can send this decorated war hero to defeat the ultimate evil. You of course dream of one day doing heroic deeds just like Adam. As you walk Sir Adam to the throne room, he sees the princess, and says he's going to greet malady before being given the King's Royal Decree. He walks into a different room (say the left or the right instead of straight up where the throne room is). Suddenly, the King walks up to you from the off the screen throne room, seemingly furious that Sir Adam Hasn't arrived yet, so he asks you (since you were in charge of bringing him here) where he is (Complete with Yes or no dialog). If you answer No, he threatens you with death until you say yes. If you answer yes, you tell him what just happened. In a rage the King rushes off into the other room. You hear a struggle with the princess screaming things (think "it?s not his fault! He didn't do anything!" Typical cover up stuff) then silence. Suddenly, the Blood stained king comes out, somewhat in a stupor. Eventually he comes out of it and realized he just killed the only savior of his Kingdom! Realizing that the populous may riot if word gets out that he killed their only hero, he blames you for dereliction of duty, (since you didn't bring Adam to him first) changes your name from Bob to Adam as punishment and decrees that you go defeat the Ultimate Evil or die by his own hand! You now literally live your dream of living Adam's Life, and not only go to defeat the ultimate evil, but hide the fact that you're not the true hero everyone thinks you now are.

I see what you mean there. This thing could basically become "Adam's quest" where one half of the game is fighting the evil and the other is finding out who Adam "really" is. (through other people who "think" you're Adam.)

Although it really wouldn't affect the storyline much if you remove the rename part. (just make the king decree you the new "hero" instead of the new "Adam the hero")

I watch way too much TV anymore.

-Mybusters - Hindenburg
-Bible - Genesis?
-Neon Genesis Evangelion - The End of Evangeleon movie. Although most of the entire series is covered there.

It's been a personal dream of mine to http://www.directron.com/ballpc.html and paint it so it looks like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angel_%28Neon_Genesis_Evangelion%29#Leliel
