Hello
Let me introduce myself and us first. My name is Andris Celms, aka Dreik. I'm the Creative Director and in a way also the Producer of the Phoenix Dream indie RPG video game development team (lol, it's a bit long). We have been working on our game Faded Haven for a LONG time now. We've had our ups and downs, but we're still persisting. We recently moved to RMXP.
Game Story
5 years after the end of age of terror a young girl named Dalia sees her family being killed by a man named Kayro and swears vengeance. The story starts 5 years later when Dalia encounters a guy named Dreik, who proposes to help her. Because of various reasons they soon find themselves running into a lot of trouble, they also encounter other people who decide to travel with them for various reasons. They follow the tracks of Kayro, but soon notice that something is happening in the world; various schools where battle professions are taught are being attacked by hordes of gryphs. Their chase after Kayro pulls them in the middle of these attacks when they encounter a dark person called Astaroth who seems to be responsible for the gryph attacks and is also in some way involved with Kayro. They finally encounter Kayro, but are unable to beat him. The gryph attacks increase, other villains working for Astaroth appear and Kayro is encountered more and more, slowly revealing the mystery around him. They find out that the one causing these attacks is M.I.L.O. who is being manipulated by Astaroth. Kayro sides with Dalia and the team to stop Astaroth and M.I.L.O., but they fail and Astaroth succeeds to bring down the world’s defenses, the schools of battle professions. Together with other people around the Lavir they fight to bring the peace back to the world and banish Astaroth.

Dreik Stormtracker is a 17 years old, friendly and adventurous half-elf guy searching for adventures and willing to help Dalia. He decided to help Dalia when after their duel she explained her past. He also had 2 other motives to join her: He owed her 5000 and he was urging to have an adventure. Near the end of the game he makes a couple with Amnesia. He hates Ryu because their resemblance got him and Dalia in great danger and because Ryu is everything Dreik has learned not to be; the hate goes both ways. He was born in a noble family and after the loss of his parents he was raised by a dragon. He is an Elemental mage, Warrior. His weapons are swords and shields and he doesn’t use armor.

He falls in love with Dalia during their first meeting. He initially works together with M.I.L.O. and Astaroth. He is friends with M.I.L.O., but is forced to stand against him because of the mind games of Astaroth. He is former slave and victim of Blood soldier experiments in result of what he got Lich King inside him. He is Dark paladin. His weapons are swords and he uses light and medium armor.
M.I.L.O. is an artificial life form created to cure people. As a side effect he gained intelligence and power to control any being or object. Feeling like a young child he is driven by a fear of death. Manipulated by Astaroth he causes the havoc in the world.
Astaroth is the most evil being in the world. He manipulates M.I.L.O. and other villains for his own enjoyment. Being a half Darkness demon he possesses incredible speed, power and magical power which combined with his wide range of abilities and coat of darkness that makes him almost invincible makes him into the hardest boss of the game.
