Hey everybody :)
So I lost absolutely everything I had on my previous start-of-a-game, so I rethought and came up with this... Hope y'all get interested and stuffs!
Arcana: Masters of Lore
Story:
Hundreds of years ago, the Gods of Lore walked upon the baron planet of Astraal. Power flowed all around and Astraal came to life. Plants began to grow, creatures great and small flooded the land and mankind prospered. Astraal was peaceful...
But then came the darkness. Laurases, Lord of Destruction had come to claim this land for himself. The Gods were distraught, for their power could not stop Laurases. Their only hope was mankind. Once more they walked upon Astraal and copulated with mankind. The children that spawned from this were half-blooded. The power of the Gods flowed through their veins. Capable of performing incredible feats of magick, these children were naturally drawn to each other. They knew their purpose and they embraced it. They called themselves The Arcanists. The Arcanists marched upon The Castell, home of Laurases, and tried with all their might to banish him from the land. When they were unsuccessful, they fled to The Keep of Labas where Laurases hunted them down and crushed them. Few managed to survive. Some were Laurases' prisoners, some escaped to hide from his wrath. Among the captured was the young and beautiful Daleen, daughter of the Arcanists' leaders Maerys and Slalom. Laurases was enthralled by Daleens' beauty and made her his wife. When Daleen discovered that she was carrying Laurases' child, she fled The Castell, fearful of what he may do. Laurases was enraged. He hunted Daleen for three years before he found her. She pleaded for her life, but Laurases had no mercy. He believed she knew where the remaining Arcanists were and tortured her. For years, Daleen remained strong and said nothing. Until one day... Daleen made a fatal error. She prayed to the Gods of Lore to watch over her daughter, believing nobody could hear her. When Laurases learned that Daleen had bore his child, he was angered. He slit Daleens' throat. Now, Laurases had a new problem... His daughter. Upon his word, the tale of the Arcanists began to twist. Rumours of their delusion and power obsessed ways began to weave their way throughout the land. Today, even the word Arcanist strikes fear into the hearts of men, the Gods of Lore have long been a myth and magick? Magick is a joke. Liliana, daughter of Daleen and Laurases, the most powerful Arcanist alive, has no idea that she alone has the power to vanquish Laurases and free the world of Astraal of his darkness. But that's all about to change...
Characters:
Liliana (aka Lil)
The main protagonist of the story, she was orphaned at the age of 3 when her mother vanished.
She's grown up her whole life believing that Arcanists were deluded crazies, so you can imagine her surprise when she finds out, not only do they exist, and not only that she is one... but that she's the most powerful Arcanist of all and she's the only one with the power to stop the evil antagonist, Laurases (aka her dad!)
Laurases (aka Osmer Lidin)
Laurases is the antagonist. He's from another world and took over the world of Astraal a long long time ago, killed a lot of Arcanists, enslaved a lot of them, killed Lilianas' mother and is just out right evil. He's brainwashed the world into believing that it's the Arcanists that are evil, in the hope that his aforementioned daughter won't kill him because she also believes that they're evil.
When he realises that Liliana knows the truth, he takes on the guise of Osmer Lidin quite frequently in his efforts to kill her.
Maerys
There isn't much to say about Maerys... she's the oldest living Arcanist, Lilianas' grandmother and the leader of the Arcanists. Her husband, Slalom is believed to be dead. I'm considering either killing her off eventually or possibly even having her possessed by Laureses.
Helandre & Vasamer
Non-identical twins, Hel & Vad are dangerous alone, deadly together. Not only are they accomplished in close combat, they're also Arcanists. Their twins bond gives them an extra power... They can merge together and become one super deadly force. They squabble a lot, but they're really awesome. They accompany Lil on her journey and refuse to let her give up!
Scripts:
I'm currently using:
Ccoa's UMS
Kellesdee's Dynamic Lighting System
I have a love for custom scripts, as you've probably noticed. I'm hoping to integrate a journal feature, and loads of cool battle add-ons. I dislike many battle systems though, so I'm yet to find the perfect one!
Team:
Just me at the minute! I do have ambitions which are way beyond my capabilities like custom music and graphics, so anyone Photoshop and Garageband (or similar) savvy, be sure to throw me some help which will be way much appreciated and, of course, you will be heavily credited and praised and (if possible) I will try help with whatever I'm okay at.
I'd also like someone who could read through the scripts, fix grammar and spelling errors and just jazz up the script overall as I'm not great at writing!
Closing Statement:
Thank you for taking the time to read, please feel free to comment, send me some help, ect...
I know the story is very typical RPG, but what can I say? I love fantasy RPG stories :grin:
