Fain 1 Report post Posted February 5, 2010 Hey guys im here to advertise and ask for help in my first game. My Zodiac Signs are going to be based on a series of games. The Zodiacs Symbols and personalities help decide who my character is how to best represent them in the game (basically anyways). -Story- 500 years after the Rule of the Gods, the humans finally have control over their planet and all is in a state of peace. However, the peaceful world as we know now will now fall into a state chaos. The emperor of Farcia is now trying to destroy the countries one by one with a mysterious figure working behind the curtains. What could be happening? Who is doing this? Will the world ever be the same? We follow the stories of two soldiers, a general and a monk to find our answers in the Zodiac Sign: Capricorn. -Characters- Daiken:A blue haired soldier born and bred in military army. He is part of a defence unit called DEFENSE. His main weapon of choice is a shield. He is a very protective of friends and in fight always goes first. Although he worries for his friends he is also very trusting and is calm and gentle like a flowing river. He is always used to working in teams and loyal to the Farcia army but an incident causes him to desert the empire and journey for the truth. He represents the Water element. Ren:A blonde haired soldier also born and bred in military army. He is part of a attack unit called STRIKERS. His natural weapon is a sword. He is Daiken's best friend. He is very cold and distant to others except for Daiken. He is emotionless, even on the battlefield but is rumoured that he is faster than lightning, hence his title "Lightning" and he also seems to have a hate for people who try to control others. He always travel with Daiken and doesn't actually care for anyone else. He represents the Thunder element. Lenna:A fiesty red-head with a heart of gold. She is a prisoner in the Farcia and helps Daiken and Ren escape as she also wants to know what they know. She hates using weapons and therefor mostly uses her fists. She is a little wild and outrageous but will help anyone in need. She is the troublemaker of the party and usually drags the party into trouble. She has a very dark past and has a hate for the Farcian army. She is extremely powerful but also agile making her a worthy adversary. No one knows why she helped Daiken and Ren but she seems to have good intentions, well for now. She represents the Fire element. Llyud:A first class general of the Farcian empire and loyal to the Emperor. She had risen to general in 6 months because of her excellent leadership and her skill with a spear. She is brave and intelligent and makes the wise decisions for the party. She was born in a high class family but is very generous to the poor and unlucky. She joins Daiken's party because she is unsure of the Emperor's intention and wants the truth. Her high sense of justice and trusting nature makes her the bearer of the Holy element. -Villains- Emperor:Ruler of Farcia and one of the greatest leaders of all time. He is the one that helped Daikel free the people from the rule of the gods. He had recently became sick and was unable to decide what's right for the country. He was cure 2 months before the events of the game because of the mysterious man called Vertebris. He has apparently made a deal with the devil in order for eternal life and is helping Vertebris destroy the world. Nina:A first-class assasin working for Vertebris and known as "The Black Cat" in the "Otherworld". She is very devious and seems to have plans of her own. Although she appears to be very loyal to Vertebris but she seems to have an "other" side. Her intentions are unknown. Vertebris:A high class general in the "Otherworld" and the messenger between the Emperor and the "Otherworld". He is a silent man, loyal to his duty and a master of magic arts. Rumours say he has surpassed "Light Speed" and is the most feared man in the universe. He has his own reasons on why he wants to dominate the world, but refuses to tell anyone why. He is a dangerous man. Classes My game includes different classes you can job change into, once you unlock them. Each character uses the classes very differently (Hence why I said they have water element etc) I'll start off with: Knight Knights are balanced fighters focusing well on power and defence. They use the traditional one-handed sword and shield. They are usually at the center of the party weakening they're foes using skills like Break Blade. Depending on the character they have a unique skill special to that character like Water Strike or Holy Blade. They're a good choice for a fighter. Thief Thieves are experts of stealing and good with a dagger. They mainly focus on taking an opponents treasure but can defend themselves well with duel wielding daggers. They are highly agile and aren't usually the center of attention focusing on being un-noticed. Just like any other job, depending on different characters they can use special skills like Steal Soul or Shadow Dagger. Good for stealing, not for fighting. Mage Masters of the magic arts one of the best ranged fighters. Depending on the character there are specific mages like Fire Mage or White Mage. Each character who becomes a Mage has their own set of skills like Watera of Flare. One of the best ranged fighters. Ranger A ranged fighter who uses bows and arrows. They have unbelievable accuracy able to hit any foe without fail. They are agile making them able to dodge close-range fighter. Depending on the character you can use unqiue skills like Blaze Arrow or Lightning Trap. Another great choice for a ranged-fighter. Dark Knight Masters of the dark knights and the most defensive class in the game. They're unique trait to use dark magic is very useful since they're the only people besides Reaper which can use instant-death skills like Death and Starfall. There is only one character in the game that has a unique skill for this class. Adventurer Travelers of the world and masters of many weapons. They are the most balanced class in the game which allows them to be useful in nearly all situation. They have a wide-range of skills like Cheer and Swordmaster. Each character has unique skills for this class such as Lightning Fall or Brotherhood. Skyrider Riders of the skies! There is no actual explanation as to how they are in this world. The use nothing but their hoverboards to fly and fight they're enemies with. They have a unique set of skills like Float and Speed Up. Only one character has a unique skill for this class. Dastrier Astrologers of the universe Dastriers use ancient books and staffs to fight their foe. They use unique magic like Moonfall and Aplha to destroy their foes. Each character can use unique skills like Ultima and Flarestar with this class. They are the most dangerous fighters to exist. Ninja Master killers of the dark. Ninjas use daggers and shurikens to kill they're foe. They are extremely agile and strong. Each character brings they're own unique skill to this class like Shuri Star and Silent Night. Reaper Physically the strongest class in the game. Reapers are the bringers of death and master of the scythe. They share the same skills as a Dark Knight such as Death and a unique skill like Time Greaver. Only one character has a unique skill for this class. Trainer A special class that has a special with with it's partner and can summon them in times of needs. Trainers are a well balanced class which have a mix of magic and physical skills. They use unique swords called "Rapiers" and can summon they're friend to aid. The have a unique set of skills such as Mystique Flurret and Magical Cadavar. Each character also has a unique skill such as Summon Blue or Shine. (P.S. I'm recruiting spriters to help me create my summons) EDIT:*NEW CLASS* Warlord Having been victims of war, Warlords have seen the brutality of battle and have even learned from it. They fight on their horses and use axes to bring pure destruction to the battlefield. Warlords are agile and gifted in strength but this makes them useless when it comes to defending themselves. Warlords have unique skills such as Innocence and Anger and each character also brings a unique skill like Memories and Fate Redemptious. Warlords are the true cavalry of death. Screen Shots Below: The first ever monsters you'll fight in your life. Soldier Rooms (Where soldiers sleep) First village you enter (Barely people there, I'll add more later. This is a brand new project so I request help from anyone but there a few things I'm certain of: I will use the Active Time Battle System. The story will be mission based.

Arkbennett 16 Report post Posted March 23, 2010 I don't understand. How did human beings retake the planet from gods? That said, I think you should revamp the storyline. Sounds too much like FF9. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OverlordMao 0 Report post Posted March 23, 2010 I don't understand. How did human beings retake the planet from gods? That said, I think you should revamp the storyline. Sounds too much like FF9. If I can interpret the storyline a little, I think the gods 'left' the world for an unknown reason. But I do have to agree, the story line does need a little work on. (Sending a PM to ask if I can join since I need something else to do with most of my time. I've been growing bored lately. X_X) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
