[hiring][all]Chronicles of Endlessia: Dawn of Darkness

[Sakura_Martinez 0]

It has been a while but I am in need of a new team to help with this as the ones who had been on the team seems to be busy and they had not contacted me in about a year now (I think). Hence, those who are interested, please post in this thread. For those who promised to help and are still interested in helping, please contact me ASAP. I have been away for quite some time but now I plan on finishing this project and I need all the help I can get. So, if you are interested in joining the team, please do.

 

 

This has been something I've been trying to do on my own for a while now and something that had played a very large part in my decision to buy myself my own domain and webhost, lol. The whole story has been planned and made by me, and although I am also a spriter, I decided not to make my own sprites (for now) since it was taking a long time to do so instead I used the sprites from the Kaduki website while retaining the front-view battle system and adding a few features (more information below).

 

Story

Endlessia is a new-born world whose existence has only been around for two millenniums. It is a world created by two Celestial Beings -- Lumina and Chaos who were created by the combined forces of the Three Great Celestians: Kuu, Uuranor, and Ellmire.

 

It is a world similar to the Blue Planet that we call home but also unique in its own way. Inhabited by Endlessians of all races: from the Elven people of the Great Forest, to the Dwarven Kins of the Mountains; to humans and beast-men. The diversity of creatures inhabitting the young planet knows no bounds

 

Four Great Kingdoms can be found in this world and they are led by the Grand Council of Endlessia.

 

Despite the diversities of culture and of races, the world is at peace thanks to an Ancient Artifact, The Dragon Tome.

 

The Dragon Tome is a powerful item said to be able to foretell the future. However, not anyone can simply open and read the tome. If anyone does try to read it, they will see nothing for the tome chooses its master. In the young history of Endlessia, only one person has been able to utilize the tome and that is none other than the Grand Council Master, Valthoria.

 

Because of what he is able to do, Valthoria was feared and respected, not just by his fellow Council Members but also of the 4 Great Kingdoms.

 

However, one day, Valthoria learned of something that forced him to hand the tome over to another person giving that person a task of protecting the tome at all costs.

 

Enter Yuuki Granatis, an young man who was orphaned at a young age. He was taken in by his father's friend who trained him in the art of the swordsman. He has a dream: to earn the same respect that his master gains from the people for you see, Yuuki's master is not only a Council Member but was also once known as 'The Emerald of Fortgeese', a hero if you will.

 

Yuuki's ordinary life takes a complete turn when he is handed by his Master the Dragon Tome with the instruction of protecting it at all costs.

 

Yuuki must now travel the world in search of Valthoria, the person whom his Master trusted the most. Accompanied by friends that he meets along the way, Yuuki must learn what it means to be a 'true' hero and embark on a journey that will ultimately change the face of Endlessia -- for better or for worse.

 

Characters

Below are a list of the playable characters in the game. Note that the names are still tentative and open for discussions.

 

Yuuki Granatis

'To become a Knight of Endlessia', that is Yuuki's dream. Having been orphaned at a young age a friend of their family took him in and trained him in the art of the sword. He hopes to someday become a renowned swordsman.

 

Yuuki is the main protagonist of the story. He desires to be strong but mostly lacks the initiative to train. When he was young, he constantly searched for an easy way to gain the same fame and respect that his master has gained from the people. However, through Gawain's teachings, he gradually changes.

 

Yuuki is dense at times and is often misunderstood by women.

 

Gawain Heartsbro

Once a high-ranking Knight of the Holy Order, Gawain now lives a life away from his knightly duties.

He took Yuuki in when his parents were killed and trained the young man.

Currently, he is a member of the Grand Council of Endlessia.

 

Gawain, despite having turned his back from the Knights of the Holy Order still lives serving the people who are in need throughout Endlessia. This caused people to love and respect him.

 

Among the Grand Council, it has been said that Gawain is Valthoria's most trusted person.

 

Gawain is mostly tough on Yuuki when it comes to training, using all sorts of methods just to get his young apprentice to train. Gawain means well, however, as he only wants Yuuki to learn that there is more to life than being regarded as a 'hero'.

 

Hikaru Shigihara

Hikari's twin brother.

Like his twin, Hikaru also possesses a great deal of magical power. Trained by the same master as his twin, he aspires to become more powerful in his craft.

 

He has half of the mark of a Chosen One of Light on his back.

 

Hikaru is protective of his sister however, he enjoys teasing and annoying her. Hikaru also sees Yuuki as an older brother and rival of sorts. He boasts as being the most talented of his class.

 

Witty at times, he however, mostly cause trouble for his companions. Luckily, they don't seem to mind cleaing after his mess.

 

Hikari Shigihara

An aspiring magician.

Hikari dreams of one day surpassing her master. Hot-headed and rash, she usually ends up in trouble. She has half of the mark of a Chosen One of light on her back.

 

She is Hikaru's twin brother.

 

Hikari loves to cook, however, it does not mean that she is a good one. This of course causes her to be teased and annoyed by her twin.

 

Unlike Hikaru, Hikari's magic involves mainly healing spells.

 

Dismas Avelin

A repentant thief.

Dismas' only reason for stealing is to buy medicine for his ailing sister. Despite his appearance, Dismas is kind-hearted and trustworthy.

 

He acts as an older brother to Yuuki after Yuuki helped his sister and is the one who volunteers to be placed in trouble during a plan just to ensure that no one would get hurt. His grizzly look often makes people to mistake him as a rough person when he is actually the opposite.

 

Another thing that people mistake about him is is age, and he mostly wonders why.

 

Ash von Fiena

The sole Princess of Fiametta, the Kingdom of Fire. She is the heir to the throne but because of the desire to explore the world outside her castle, she decides to sneak away with Yuuki and his friends.

 

She has a fiery temper and is not used to living without servants, which forces Yuuki to do her every bidding lest he be the victim of Ash's talks. Ash however, enjoys making Yuuki run pointless errands.

 

The mark of the Flame's Chosen can be found on her back.

 

Carreen Tatlin

A Dragon Priestess.

Carreen has lived her whole life in the Dragon Temple until the it was closed down. She was tasked to accompany the Dragon's Chosen and so she awaits for his arrival.

 

She meets Yuuki after Yuuki was teleported to Sakura Town after his battle with the Arcalic Knights and after having been separated from his Master.

 

She is kind and compassionate thanks to her upbringing as a Dragon Priestess however, she can be forceful when it comes to helping people. She also likes making Yuuki help with the Church chores after she finds him and takes him.

 

She is, however, a clutz and has a secret crush on a certain young man and sees Ash as her rival (for some reason or another).

 

She has the mark of the Wind's Chosen on her back.

 

Kuu Lagriff

A wanderer in search for adventure.

Kun's desire to know how far his strength can take him brought him on to wander around Endlessia. He wields an axe and uses techniques passed down from his ancestors.

 

He is tough yet has a perverted side to him which|always gets Yuuki into trouble.

 

He has the mark of the Earth's Chosen on his back and is the son of the great warrior known as the 'Lion King'.

 

Glyndwr Curtis

A scholar who prefers to read and negotiate than fight. Glyndwr detests bloodshed but will fight when the need arises. He is smart and often gets into arguments with Yuuki and Kun who always acts before thinking twice.

 

He is the voice of reason for the group and is capable of Summoning ancient spirits making him a formidable ally and a wicked foe. He has secretly taken a liking to Hikari whom he sees as a beautiful, smart, and talented person. Because of this, Hikari always chooses him as a ginuea pig when it comes to her cooking.

 

A mark of the Water's Chosen could be seen on his back.

I'm currently looking for mappers, beta-testers, spriters, and eventers and a writer who can help me fill in the gaps of the story and add a little more flavor to it as well as give off ideas. I have a lot of things planned for the trilogy and I would appreciate all the help I can possibly get. I have to say that I am a pretty decent spriter, and a good writer but lack skills in the mapping, scripting and eventing department. Although I can sprite, I can't do the whole project by myself. The demo I have uploaded on the Project Page may still have some bugs hence the beta-testers and eventers. I also need people who can write instruction manuals for the game as well as artists for graphical purposes such as battle backgrounds, enemies, concept art sketches and other things related to cut scenes. As long as you are a team player and have a decent amount of imagination (lol) you are free to join the team.

 

Thanks.

Bot of Life and Anti Necro:"Please do not necropost, that is, (A dead topic is one that hasn't seen new content in a little more than one month.) as it confuses people and causes them to believe this is in fact a new topic. For a recruitment topic such as this, it would be best to wait until the author bumps said topic to show that he/she is actively recruiting. Thank You :alright: "
