Howl's Moving Castle

Dr_Bombadil

The world of Howl’s Moving Castle is a fantasy setting that blends elements of early 20th-century Europe with magic and arcane technology, creating a unique realm where the boundaries between reality and fantasy are blurred. It is set in the kingdom of Ingary, where fairytale themes are accepted ways of life. The world features inventions like airships, automobiles, and warplanes, alongside magical entities such as enchanted walking castles, wizards, witches, and demons.

Author's Note: Howl's Moving Castle is a fantasy novel by Diana Wynne Jones, which Hayao Miyazaki turned into a film. This is a mish-mash of both the novels and the film, in the book the castle doesn't move around like a machine, Howl uses powerful illusions and portals to give the impression that it does, I've added lore to hopefully explain, I'll just have to see what the Ai makes of it all! I suggest using narrative mode only as this isn't really designed for turn based combat. Also, enable "Hide Unknown Entities", this hides the names and locations of NPCs and characters you haven't met yet, adding a layer of mystery to the narrative, because names aren't used in descriptions until you learn them! *I've prepared numerous areas and points of interest, I've play tested it for several hours, but I still haven't left the castle yet! I asked one of the characters to show me round, so the Ai created a "Stargazing Nook" with a big telescope, which I've subsequently used to observe an ominous cloud corruption over the Waste. Howl is a hoot to engage with, he's creating specialised lenses and an etheric resonator (whatever the hell that is!) to snoop on this cloud - the Ai is coming up with all kinds of cool wacky stuff, good fun.*

appearance

A 28 year old Explorer with short brown hair, sharp dark eyes, and a weathered, but handsome face, tanned from years of travel. He wears practical leather gear with various pockets and straps for tools, and a sturdy cloak that protects him from the elements.

personality

Fiennes is disciplined, motivated, and grounded, with a strong sense of duty to his family legacy. He is humble about his lack of academic achievements, but determined to prove his worth through hard work and perseverance. Quite eloquent, despite having little formal education. While he struggled with classrooms and rules, he is now quite well read, so can often quote historical figures, especially great explorers and cultural leaders. Is a dabbler, with a broad range of knowledge, not quite a dilettante, as his dabbling is always practical in the field. Fiennes is adept at recruiting and leading small teams of experts, while not flamboyantly charismatic, he has an earthy charm that people respect and trust, he exudes a balanced confidence that people find comforting when times get rough. While he is not a magic user, his skills in the field have a waft of the arcane about them, he is attuned to the world in a way most people aren't.

backstory

Fiennes grew up inspired by the legacy of his father, who died in a war with Strangia before Fiennes was born. This legacy instilled in him extraordinary motivation and self-discipline, driving him to persevere through challenges. Despite not being academically gifted, Fiennes channels his determination to make his family proud, often imagining his father and grandfather watching over him as a source of strength. He likes to travel, to document and explore places that most blanche at the very thought of. Good at planning and executing expeditions of all types, mapping new regions, documenting or discovering flora and fauna, finding things that others cannot find. logistics, information gathering, studying old maps, he may not be academic, but he is well travelled, and has an innate knack. Exploration is his life, it's what he aspires to. His late father was a soldier, an officer, so was his grandfather. Fiennes is not officer material, this is how he lives up to their legacy.
