Project Blademasters
A ZiK-Studios Production
ZiK-Studios was created as a "just for fun" Group. ZikS is a group of friends (Zeldrak, Ivy-Mitsuno and Kirus, hence ZIK) that decided to post their projects with only a group name instead of their own.
This being established, ZiK-Studios now wants to create an RPG based on another work in progress called "Blademasters". The story itself is being developed by Zeldrak (me) along with character design. Ivy-Mitsuno is my assistant with the storyline while Kirus is also helping out with character design while working on his own project.
With the long forgotten idea of creating an RPG based on my story, I decided to take it out again and create the perfect 2-D RPG using RPG Maker XP (back then when i started i used 2k3).
So enter, and discover... the vast world of the "Blademasters".

What's This all About?
Now for the part where i explain a bit of the story, and show you the concept artwork.
The story takes place in a fantasy world where awar raged for 20 years. This war was fought fiercely between the 4 nations of Terra: Valkyria, Titania, Eteria and Damascia. Each nation had to protect their territory from the other 3, resulting on constant battles for strategic positions. Each kingdom had a Guardian, who called themselves the "Mithycos", each one bearing a Sword of ethereal power to the Chosen of the Kingdom. The swords would mutate according to the chosen's fighting style, thus proving to be the ultimate weapon. In the last stand of the 4 Kingdoms, when no soldiers were left with the will to fight for their Kingdom, the Champions proceeded to create a Peace Treaty among their kingdoms. With the approval of their Kings, Terra returned to peace, and the Swords of the Champions were Imprisoned in their respective kingdoms, kept hidden from the population for centuries.
But now, Titania prepared to rise from their once former glory, when none was prepared. And while peace ruled over Terra, we turn to Valkyria, the Holy Kingdom of the Goddess Valkira, and to our heroes, who's journey will begin with a surprise.
The Cast
Zeldrak Agastos Soshiro
Age: 17
Ocupation: Delivery Boy (Upon arrival to Valkyria)
Description: The last person you'd thought would be a hero in Terra would be a simple delivery boy with an attitude to get in trouble. He is a laid back person, without worries. Living alone in a small house in Valkyria, he is a Prince of Persia-style guy, with a Zidane Tribal attitude.
Concept Character Art: Zeldrak Concept Work (http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/55910036/) Not the final work.
Siegfried Rudora
Age: 15
Ocupation: Squire / Traveller / Enchanter
Description: Searching for the truth behind his unknown childhood, being left as a baby to the care of a band of Thieves, he was raised as one of them but soon became aware of his rightful place in society. Sieg is travelling around the Kingdoms searching for information that might lead to his past and, eventually, his family. Upon arriving to Valkyria, he goes to the palace to request entry into the royal library to search for evience.
Concept Character Art: In Progress.
Tsuta Valkira Namigari (Ivy)
Age: 16
Ocupation: Princess / Magician
Description: The Damzel who is not in distress. She is the princess of Valkyria and the 2nd in line to the throne. With strict discipline of never being able to leave the palace, she dreams day and night of travelling the world to learn the wonderful things the world has to offer. Although not resembling one, she is a very talented magician who can use both fire magic and healing powers at will.
Concept Character Art: Tsuta Namigari (http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/57526437/) by Ivy-Mitsuno
Zaiden Valkira Namigari, the 3rd
Age: 18
Ocupation: Swordsman / Prince
Description: The heir to the throne of Valkyria and Tsuta's elder brother, he sets a role model for aspiring knights. Although he may not look like it, he doesn't like to be Prince. He hates courtesy, preferring to be on the battlefield and remaining only to protect what's most important to him, her sister. Hot-headed when comes to battle, yet calm in personal affairs and obligations, his sence of justice prevails no matter what.

These are only some of the heroes, I plan to put a description of all of them here (12 in total).
Mind you that this is a BIG project and i need people wiling to help only if they are very interested in creating such epic game with an extensive storyline and several characters.

Well i wouldnt mind being your tileset maker.. i have some to show you if you want to see there still unfinished, my computer is curently not letting me post images on forums though for some reason, if you give me you msn i can show you them tomorrow after i get back from school.. Mine is zainox15@hotmail.com and no i dont care if other people get it.. I also do character sprites and i can have a go at animations and im also pretty and i can do a few icons for you too.. I can do battlers to but you seem to be doing good at that lol.
-
you should use photobucket for image host. I've been using it for 2 years, and never lets me down. better than trying to attatch to a post and waste bandwidth of the forum.
Can't wait to see those, as for abttlers, i won't be doing those, i want a side view system, so i'll need sprite battlers.
