PLOT
Spoiler for:
Emerald Chronicles, Castor Wars it´s about a legend called "The Emerald Crystal Legend" and about how the world and life were made thanks to the Emerald Crystal energy.
In ancient times the Emerald was divided in three big fragments by a powerful blacksmith and each fragment was delivered to each one of the Three Ancient Clans.

However, it is said that one of those Clans attempted to acquiere all the fragments and a war began, that war was called "The Emerald War", it was a bloody and briefly war that end with the summon of the Three Horned Dragon.

The result of this was the extinction of all the Ancient Clans and the Emerald Crystal Fragments scattered somewhere on earth.
As time passed by, the Emerald Crystal Legend and all related with the Ancient Clans were forgotten or became part of a fantastic myth.

Many, many years later, a researcher from the Catech lands called Dr. Akakios Hoffman fell deep inside a mountain and discovered a skeleton that belonged to one of the Ancient Clans; the Adharis Clan. With the skeleton he found also an epitaph about his life and purpose.
That Adharian had a partner and both were escaping in an attempt to save the Emerald Crystal.

Dr. Hoffman realizes the importance of this finding, but he is unable to search the Emerald fragment by himself due to the wild animals and beasts inside the mountain, he is not a warrior and can´t fight well, so he shall find his way to return to Catech Castle and tell to the King his discovery, he will return again to the inner part of the mountain with an escolt and find the Emerald Crystal Fragment.

When Dr. Hoffman and company found the fragment, it was stolen from him by another person, it is here where Epic Castor (Arthur Gales) has to track down the thief and prevent another "Emerald War".

Arthur Gales received the title of "Castor Épico" after returning from the Jard's Grotto where not only he fought deadly beasts and creatures like the Basilisk and Dragons, but he also rescued Kuder, who was in danger.

Maybe he doesn't look as a great warrior, but Arthur Gales is a 1st Class soldier, devoted in battle and responsible of his team members.

He is the youngest member of the Alpha Squad, he is noble and he is always trying to do the things in the best possible way. (No entiendo lo de something square or concrete in the missions). He hates to be underestimated when it comes to his battle skills.

He is faster than Arthur or Renard, but has less strength.

Age: 21
Race: Wolf.
Location: Zejic.
Ocupation: Local witch.

Kaja studied in the sorcery academy at Griot Varj, she was so good that sorcery bored her and she left the academy. She returned to her birthplace at Zejic, where she worked as a local healer for the wounded and the sick with the help of her sorcery and magic skills.

She has a helper called Rina. She is very helpful when there is a need of complex sorcery of weird herbs. Rina helps the wounded and sick in her birthplace, Adelheim Village.

Kaja is lazy, but not apathetic, so when she does something, she does it with a certain laziness but it is well done. Also, she is very smart.

Kaja didn't find happiness in being the local healer, but she doesn't have many opportunities outside Zejic, so she is alert to any chances to get out of Zejic to find a more exciting life.


Magu

Ocupation: Many.
Weapon: Axe.

She is the "multi-task" woman inside Adelheim Village, very popular within the people of the Village, she can bring food, water, roll-trees and fight with the wild animals who threathen the villagers.

Age: 53
Location: Catech.
Ocupation: Researcher.

A native from Elkrej although most part of his life has been on Catech Kingdom and he is one of the closest persons of King Castor III.

Dr. Hoffman has dedicated all his professional life to search related things about the Emerald Legend, a true expert on the matter and has published many books about  the Emerald Legend. Dr. Hoffman and Dr. Alberthi are the pilar of knowledge around Catech lands.

He is from Griot Varj Kingdom, one of the three kingdoms, this one is located at the far south. He was sent to Catech Kingdom to replace the previous helper of Dr. Hoffman.

Dr. Alberthi shares the same fascination about the Emerald Legend, but he is more severe because he will do anything for that knowledge.

He is a serious and quiet being, and when he displays an interest on something or someone, it is usually because he wants something in exchange.

He is not a fighter, but he knows black magic spells and can face any warrior with a chance to still achieve the victory.

When I read the plot, I was like: Sounds great!!
When I saw the characters I was like: Drawing is good, all in the same style...

Then I got to the screenshots. There I was baffled to see the greatness of the surroundings, combined with the standard windows and housing of RMVX and then you added some sprites which make the entire thing look rather cheap. You should improve your sprites with more detail and less black outlines and also edit the standard RMVX stuff to add some more detail.

For the rest, I'd love to try it...


As blonde as can be!!!
Doesn't mean I'm the dumb one...

Sure! I will try to work on that, I´m not an spriter, but I will do whatever I can to improve it (or look for someone), thank you for your comment :)

If you have the time, please try Castor Wars, is only the first chapter but it is something.

I hope with this demo to find more people to help me with graphical matters.

Kind regards!
