Fantasy ”7 Samurai” type story

Fantasy ”7 Samurai” type story

10 different characters come together from different situations to slowly form a tight knit group that fights for each other and survive in a harsh new world.

The world is a mythical fantasy world similar to lord of the rings.

The characters all found themselves in this world , each awoke with no previous memory , and had to survive.

Some are robots (1) some are creatures, eg half man half lion/tiger (1-2) some are wizards (1-2), some are elves(1) some are dwarves(1), several are human, some warriors, others mad scientists, others WW2 pilots, others princes, others modern soldiers (3-5) , some are animals that can talk(1-2), some are Orcs (1-2)

The wizards for example – they have to discover that they are wizards. All characters have to discover their abilities.

None of the characters know the powers they have when the wake up in this world

The setting of the writing is 10 years after they all awoke in this world , each has survived as a loner for a long time.

One by one they start to gather as a single band of brothers living for each other surviving in a harsh world.

The writing needs to do 2 things:

1. Develop each character, and explain their individual journey and survival for last 10 years – key moments only, such as how they woke up and survived early on, key events like being savaged and nearly dying, falling in love, discovering some power, gaining self belief, lifting s friend or lover, etc.

2. Describe a coming together story for the band of 10 characters. There will likely be a key leader who in search of something slowly collects the other characters around him /her in their search for something.

Think of “7 samurai” story as an example but set in the fantasy realm.

There is plenty of scope for creativity.
