Title: Lord Nicolias

I wanted to see what you think of the story of the game I'm making.
But if you all hate it, I don't care much.

Main Character: Nicolias
Young adult male that travels with a group of adventurers.  The group just does anything they can do to make money, a lot of times, this includes killing beasts that trouble the local towns.

Then, after they complete an extremely well-paying sidequest, given to them by the king, they decide to have a party in a nearby town.  It gets a little rough when they start to bring out the hard liquor, and Nicolias is passed out until around midnight.  But everyone else is still thirsty, and the booze's all ran out!  Nicolias is sent out to find booze to finish the party, but unfortunately, there is a dry-law that takes place at midnight between Saturday and Sunday.  After visiting a bar, he finds out that he will have to go north to a small trading camp to find the nearest dry-law exempt seller.

Along the way to the camp, thunder suddenly starts to downpour the area.  Traveling over a broken bridge, you hear something strange, and a vampire comes out and attacks you, for no apparent reason other than hunger.

You must learn to adapt to your new skills as a vampire, and make the best of it.  You find that going back to your old job, as an adventurer is made much harder by preists' and demon slayers' constant attempts to kill you.

After spending some time with sidequests, the story starts to get deeper, as evil takes over.  A Dark Preist has captured the Elder Vampire, and is using his influence to controll all vampires to do as he wants.  Towns are completely destroyed, and many mortal men, vampires, and demons are slain by the army of vampires.

Nicolias finds out that he is actually a rare breed of vampire that can't be controlled by the corrupted will of the Elder Vampire and the Dark Preist.  Old vampire friends turn against him, and new friends come and go as well as Nicolias attempts to set things right.

Along the story, you can choose which 3 of your starting 7 party members, and other friends you meet will help you.


So, how does it look so far?

Also, I need some names for people.  As of yet, most of the npc's use the names in the RTP.

Hmmmm... sounds ok. The liquor bit sounds a bit odd, but apart from that everything seems ok.

Well, if I don't use the liquor part, then how would he get separated from the rest of the group?  Open to Suggestions :^^:

I'll just include the liquor part in the version that I send to my friends then...  They're easily amused by things like that.

They have the party and one of them goes out for a bit (Mayby for some fresh air, you decide) then you decide that he has been gone too long so you go and look for him. Thats how you are separated.
What really happened to the guy who went for fresh air is that he was attacked by a vampire too. This makes it less of an odd way to be parted with a group and you get 2 party members other than 1 (your friend)
What do you think, if you use this idea can I be in the credits.
