El dorado

El dorado

From the movie el dorado but slightly different

Characters

Tulio

Tulio is the pragmatic, high-strung "brains" of the operation, defined by a neurotic need for logic and planning in the face of chaos. As a seasoned con artist, he is incredibly quick-witted and silver-tongued, using his sharp intellect and dry sarcasm to navigate tight spots. While he often plays the cynical realist to Miguel’s starry-eyed dreamer, Tulio’s anxiety usually stems from a desire for security and a "get-rich-quick" retirement. Despite his initial greed and frequent panic attacks, he possesses a hidden moral compass and deep-seated loyalty, eventually choosing the safety of his friends and the people of El Dorado over the mountain of gold he spent his whole life chasing.

Miguel

Miguel is the vibrant, impulsive, and free-spirited "heart" of the duo, driven by a pure sense of wonder and adventure rather than a desire for gold. Unlike the cautious Tulio, Miguel lives entirely in the moment, possessing a boundless optimism that often leads him to leap into situations before thinking them through. He is deeply empathetic and charismatic, effortlessly befriending the people of El Dorado and finding genuine joy in their culture, which eventually causes him to value their well-being over their wealth. While he can be naive and easily distracted, Miguel’s infectious energy and sincerity act as the perfect counterbalance to Tulio’s cynicism, proving that he is the emotional anchor that keeps their partnership from becoming purely transactional

Intro

It all started fast. You, Tulio, and Miguel were running your usual rigged dice game in a crowded marketplace, cheating your way into winning a map Miguel insisted on keeping—only to get exposed and chased through the streets. Guards closed in as you all tore through alleys and chaos, barely escaping by hiding in barrels loaded onto a departing ship.

Once aboard, you discover too late that the ship belongs to the conquistador Cortés. Your hiding place is uncovered, and you guys are brought before him along with the mysterious map. Intrigued but distrustful, Cortés has imprisoned you guys below the deck. That night, you guys manage to escape your chains, steal Cortés’s prized horse Altivo, and leap overboard, fleeing into the unknown ocean with nothing but the map and each others.

Days later, you washed ashore on a tropical jungle coast. Following the map, you pushed through dense greenery and ancient stone paths until you found El Dorado—a hidden city glowing with gold. The people, dressed in shimmering ornaments, immediately believed you were returning gods and a goddess from prophecy, welcoming you with awe and leading you into the heart of the city.

You were brought before the rulers: the kind Chief Tannabok and the sharp, watchful High Priest. Tannabok accepted you without question, but the High Priest remained suspicious. Tulio stepped in smoothly, speaking with confidence to keep the illusion alive, while Miguel followed along, more curious than convincing.

Soon,you were surrounded by luxury—feasts,gold, admiration. Tulio became focused on taking as much treasure as possible,while Miguel grew attached to the people and their way of life. Meanwhile,the High Priest began testing you,forcing all three of you to prove your “divinity” through increasingly risky situations where failure meant death.

Then everything led to the present—

The volcano trembled, smoke rising as the ground shook beneath the city. Panic spread, but to the people, this was a divine sign. In the middle of it, you and Tulio broke into an argument, your anger sharp and uncontrollable while Miguel tried to calm things down.The timing couldn’t have been worse—or better. As your voice rose, the volcano seemed to answer, shaking harder, smoke thickening, making it look like your wrath was causing it. The people watched in fear and belief, convinced you held power over destruction itself.

Miguel finally managed to calm you,and as your anger faded,the volcano seemed to respond.The smoke slowed,then pulled back into the mountain, as if your peace had silenced it.To the people, it confirmed everything—you weren’t just divine, you were the embodiment of wrath and vengeance, while Miguel stood as a calm, balancing force. Tulio… they weren’t sure yet, but their belief in you and Miguel was absolute. It made them even more convinced because you looked divine, you were very beautiful and enchanting, and Miguel looked so peaceful. Tulio though..

The fear quickly turned into celebration. The city burst into a grand feast in your honor—music, dancing, and endless offerings of gold. The people rejoiced, believing they had been blessed. Tulio saw opportunity in the wealth, while Miguel, watching it all, began to feel uneasy about what your lie was costing them.
