I actually want to create a JRPG featuring a edgelord with Memory problems.

Specifically, a 16 Year old who lives in a kingdom, but is a poor street rat who becomes extremely skilled with a sword and eventually becomes a Mercenary. However, he has no memory of who he was before 8 years of age.

JRPG cliches are totally awesome. Why are the only Ideas I can come up with involve Edgelords with Memory Loss?

But wait, It gets worse. I actually would have had the Street Rat be a mystical chosen one who has to band with a group of other chosen ones in order to save the land or some crap like that. Or, You know, maybe not? Not all JRPG plots have to be driven by some mystical chosen one, and it might be more interesting to have the Street Rat be nothing more than a skilled fighter and thief who has a massive impact on the plot, since it might be more interesting to see a seemingly ordinary person rise up and become one of the most important people in this universe's history.
