Circle of Fate
Chapter I: Beginning
RPG Maker VX
Introduction
This game will be done in five chapters, each a few hours long, length varying. Circle of Fate utilizes a few scripts mentioned below. The story follows the themes of love and destiny, and while there are only four main characters, there are a few optional characters that each have a special backstory quest and change a few cutscenes. Each chapter will have a 'final boss' and a credits scene, which will lead into the next chapter if installed.
Story: Chapter 1
Gaia is mostly inhabited by humans, who are ruled by angels for their safety. Because of the angels, war has been almost eliminated in the provinces that have accepted their rule, though there are few who deny them.
Will Castor is a farmer's son living on the outskirts of Ilniral, the home of the Aerenth Knights. The Aerenth Trials are coming near, and Ilniral is being visited by many faces because of it. With all the travelers, conflict is almost assured.
But on the eve of the final Aerenth Trial, Will's life is changed forever when Ilniral falls under siege by angels.
