RTP Toon Lore

[Taronysaurus]

MV is the first version I've bought, so I hope my question isn't too stupid.

There are a bunch of built in actors, including what appear to be in some way the default party of adventurers, Harold, Therese, Marsha and Lucius. There also appear to be a bunch of "Cover Art" characters, Aldo, Nina, etc.

I know the rest of the Cover Art toons have names. How about the rest of the default toons?

Is there some lore behind them? I know that I can make whatever game I want. I'm just asking if there is some kind of official or at least sample backstory for them.

Also, are any of these guys supposed to be members of the community?

In my game, Harold, Therese, Marsha and Lucius have already completed their quest to save the world and now they just hang out in the tavern basking in their glory and mooching free drinks. They wear little badges that say that they saved the world.

I think the preset party of adventurers are just two male and two females names that the game engine makers decided to use. The story behind them is whatever story you choose for them to have.

You're actually wrong. Technically there is a pattern in way of creating RPG Maker character names if you want to get technical, every single preset adventurer party creates an acronym of sorts. The only one that doesn't is 2003.

@Tuomo L So there is pattern with the name randomness. Nice eye. I did not like the names, so I did not event look at patterns.

Well, you could use the same way of making names. A custom party done in same way could be something like

Jason
Annie
Vince
Anthony
Sebastian
Cynthia
Richard
Iisac
Pauline
Tanya


You can use this to create easter eggs and unique names as well. Just food for a thought.

I actually did games like that for my students. I love acronyms and palindromes.
