This thread is the [official?] game thread for Irina Academy.

This thread may have slightly more detail in storyline and such than the original gamepage.

 

STORYLINE:

Erin Lyle is a rather average boy, besides being sickly and weak. After being invited to the most renowned school in his country for 'gifted students', the young man soon finds out that 'gift' doesn't just imply talent. In fact, Erin was brought to the school supposedly just for his open-minded nature: in hopes of using it to aid the five girls in school with elemental abilities that confuse and irk them and those around them. 

 

As Erin starts his life as a student at the famous academy, he'll have to learn to get along with some kookie classmates and the very unique girls he's been asked to aid- and eventually, he's going to have to find out the true reason his health falters so badly: he's got a special power too!

 

Learn the lore of the land and find out how it relates to these unusual students- and help them uncover the real reason 'God' gave them these gifts...and if there are even more out there!

 

Note: Each character's backstory has some darkness in it, and the story is rated 16+ due to mentions of certain issues.

 

CHARACTERS:

Erin Lyle - The main protagonist. He starts out weak with no knowledge of his true strength, but eventually you'll find out just how strong he can be.

 

Jorda Bailey - A stoic young girl who is like a walking tree: she lives off sunlight and water. She is a lover of schedules and a very simple girl. She is self-sufficient, and while she helps you at the start, it'll take a while before you get to meet up with her again...

 

Ilda Nora - A feisty girl who runs a local gang and only really goes to school to play sports. She lives in a local boarding house rather than in a dorm on campus, and happens to help make weapons sometimes. Though she's a gangster, she's got a strong sense of justice- and she'll definitely help you out, even if she'll curse you out as well. She can withstand fire, but should never be asked out during rain...

 

Lyn Rowell - A girl with a static electricity field that shocks anyone she touches, Lyn has no attention span and an even worse memory! Always chipper, she likes to have fun and tends to forget what she was having fun with quickly. Her father happens to make armor/clothes, and her kid siblings- which she has five of- will often mention that they hope you'll take care of her, and not hurt her...Has she been hurt before?

 

Vanna Seliana - A girl who both lives by and loves the ocean. She's the eldest of all the girls you have to deal with, and also the most serene. Able to breathe underwater, Vanna is usually found underwater rather than on land. She moves faster that way, it seems.

 

Luft Williams - This girl is a literal airhead- and it's because she's always blowing on a breeze and getting lost that it'll take time before you meet her, considering you're /in the same class/.

 

Leanne Lyle - Your twin sister. For the beginning, she'll just send you letters. But someday, this sadistic girl is going to end up on campus too..!?

 

Iris Hemsworth - The Headmaster of the school, who knows a lot more than she seems to. Why is she so intent on bringing all the elementals together...?

 

Corona Hemsworth - The Student Council President is the granddaughter of the principal. She's on your side rather than her grandmother's, don't worry- though it'll take time to get her to work out well on the team, since she's very, very strict...

 

Ian Andrews - Corona's right-hand man with a tendency to have information he shouldn't. Ian will be a great resource for you in the future- albeit he's also just comic relief when you try to figure out why he has the school's student registry, along with detailed profiles on the staff...

 

Kevin Walbern - Your friendly, brother-like roommate in the dorm. He'll be easily persuaded to aid you when you need it, even if it means using his martial arts and possibly other fighting techniques in battle!

 

PLANNED FEATURES

-A cast of unique characters with deep backstories and interesting side events.
-At least up to 9 characters you can include in your party with the protagonist, Erin [for now, he's required. Sorry.]
-A day/night system that will decide certain events.
-Learn skills many ways: Through special quests, leveling up or skill books bought at the store!
-Want to feel like you're in school and earn rewards at the same time? "Homework" quests will provide a variety of random requirements from getting specific items, fighting specific monsters, or talking to specific people. Sometimes classmates will give you assignments with games, too! each 'homework' turned in gets a reward depending on who it's from!
-Trying to make combo-moves between party members.

 

CREDITS:

So far, using scripts from Galv and Yanfly, along with likely a few more from Hime and Tsukihime.

A new icon-set has been set in place, made by Avery.

Getting some freebie art most likely from a fellow named D'Art

 

FUN FACTS AND SCREENSHOTS:

At the start, you'll have to make due with school supply-based weaponry. Also note, most/all skills are going to be in Latin- along with the element names and commands. Don't worry though, they'll be easy to understand, most likely.

 

Since everything will change soon, the screenshots will change quickly. For now, please look at the game page for what's currently there- which will change when I update it later on.
