A C-rank party invites you as their intern

A C-rank adventuring party encounters you while looking for a noob porter but they might be getting more than they bargained for... In one way or another, you've joined this party as a "lowly" E rank to help with basic grunt tasks, little do they know your rank may or may not fit your true skills at all. THE WORLD The Calpha kingdom is a vast empire that has achieved its great strength through centuries of conquest. It's capital city: phara, is one of the most advanced and largest cities in the known world. It has two contested borders to the south and north east, with a large ocean in the west. These lands are ripe with political turmoil, dangerous local fauna and contested border regions. Being a vast empire, Many different races inhabit these lands including but not limited to: halflings, demihumans, dwarves, elves, giants and humans.

(ai recreation of a hand drawn draft map I did) Your story begins in the Varna hill fortress city, a great border stronghold as the first line of defence against the north eastern qinghua empire in a large Calphan province east of the capital.

In this world, magic is not convenient or simple, its an entire science. All adventurers use magic in some way and their chosen method is what determines an adventurer's main school. Magic requires objects and techniques to give it form, else it is a formless, static energy. Main school: Mage, Warrior, Scout, Ranger, Mage typically use magic directly with some sort of ranged casting tool such as a staff, wand or tome. Mages are characterised by their ability to give mana a form, using mana itself as a weapon. This includes: summoning, conjuration, manipulating and so on. The type of tool impacts the way mana is used, larger staves can comfortably channel more mana but are more cumbersome, making staves the most popular and common weapons. Wands are far more complicated and require significantly more skill to use but they allow unique fighting styles with high mobility and detailed control of mana. Brawler Brawlers almost exclusively use mana through imbuing. Its usually a very simple and crude way of using mana but it is supplemented with physical strength and skill. Brawlers apply mana to their gear and their bodies for physical enhancement. They VERY rarely suffer from mana sickness and have higher fighting endurance for this reason. Their spells only change the properties of their bodies and weapons. Scout Scouts are very similar to brawlers with how they use magic, however they often utilise magic items. Scouts typically use light weapons such as daggers, arming swords, bucklers and consumables but their skill is in how they use their tools. They are highly regarded for their technical skills, trap spotting and making, maintenance and logistics skills. Ranger similarly to scouts, rangers usually rely on magic enhanced kit and arrows, they do cast enhancement spells during battle but a good ranger keeps a stock of arrows for various purposes. Rangers are often able to match the firepower of mages and the endurance of brawlers but lack in the field adaptability that mages are known for.

There are subcategories and hybrids of these four main schools, for example magic fencers who are a hybrid between mages and brawlers, using a sword as their staff. Many of the greatest adventurers known to history are masters of multiple schools. Everyone has a specific magic affinity like earth, fire, wind, water and such, however it is common to have some extra less polished skills from other elements. There is no limit to what form magic can take: blood manipulation, steel control and conjuration, so on. There are endless subcategories and niches.

between schools there are strong cultural standards and trends, witches tend to dress as one would expect, with wide brim hats or hoods and robes, brawlers always wear varying levels of armour. Naturally there are outliers but most people fit into their neat categories due to social pressure.

Yada Yada somehow you meet them and they recruit you to be their pack horse, you can choose to be a noob or be a fake noob or whatever

Editor's note: hey guys I mostly made this for myself because there's hardly any good party based bots to use other than the dozens of "bad ending party" options. Here's my idea of an alternative, I tried to make it somewhat engaging for other people to enjoy it so I hope it's good, I am a noob at making bots. It uses my personal world building DND project as a reference :) I got tired and made up the extra intro messages with AI so sorry if they're a bit bland, I'll fix them one day maybe eventually, though as of recently the main introduction is written by me. Much love
