What would you do...

If you could enter a world of your dreams...

A world where magic is real and there is danger...

Would you run? Would you hide?

Or... Would you fight?

Would you fight even if it meant that you and all you love would...

Perish?


STORY
Backstory
200 years ago in the land of Daien, there flourished 4 nations. Each of the nations controlled a certain element. One nation decided to attack the other nations. Chaos broke out soon after. The nations were at war with each other. 3 more factions joined in, causing even more devastation. There was one man who ruled over the entire land. He was know as the Overlord. A mysterious man and no one knew how he became the Overlord. He was the most powerful magic user in the land, able to control all the elements. He created a spell to end the war. A spell known as Final Magic. The spell was designed to remove all wrongly-used magic from the world. Hoping this would end the war, the Overlord performed the spell. However, the spell caused a kickback. It destroyed all the magic in the world, both good and bad. This caused many disasters. Eventually, half the world was destroyed. And the Overlord disappeared without a trace. Until about 20 years ago...

Main Story
Vince was bored.

Bored with his life. Bored with his home. Bored with everything. One event changed that forever. He and his friends were whisked away to a new world. The world of Daien. There they learn that they must activate eight crystals in order to be able to face the "Overlord" of this world. All goes good for a short while. That is until... Vince disappears. Then the friends search for him, not knowing that Vince knows exactly what he's doing. Even though it may well kill him. But, then... He won't have a boring life.

WARNING ABOUT STORY!
At the beginning, it sounds like its gonna be some lame Final Fantasy knock-off. Well, it changes. Things that you wouldn't think of will happen.

Spoiler for Major Spoiler: Major Plot Twist and Major Conflict!:
It turns out that all the Magic Knights have to do is kill the Overlord. However the Overlord is Vince's father. How this happened was that Vince's father and all his friend's missing relatives were the Magic Knights before him. It also turns out that the Overlord, once defeated, takes over the body of one of the Magic Knights that defeated him and uses that body to kill all the others. He then lies low for ten years, then he summons more Magic Knights in order to keep his rule and his "immortal" life. Vince notices something when he reads into the history of the Overlord. That the overlord has always possesses the Magic Knight of Darkness. Knowing this, he comes up with a plan... And that's all you get in this spoiler. :)

Playable Characters
Vince Rayen
The Main Hero

----

Age: 18
Weapon: Broadsword of Darkness
Element: Darkness
Description: Normally pretty laid back. Others consider him lazy even though he has an extreme desire for adventure. He gets what he wants when he gets to Daien, and a lot more. He takes responsibility for all that happens, even if it isn't his fault. After losing his father at a young age, he has been the main income in his home, so he has learned some of the hardships of life. At times, he can be considered cynical. However, he will protect his friends no matter what. Although, he is socially inept, so often doesn't realize when a girl likes him.

Mae
The Support

----

Age: 18
Weapon: Staff of Light
Element: Light
Description: Her family has always been somewhat separated, so she longs for other's presence. She gets nervous easily and is naive at times. She also has a stubborn side. She doesn't always speak her heart, so she is usually very indecisive. She doesn't like conflict, and doesn't like the new world at all since it always seems to just be fighting. She loves her friends, and...
Spoiler for:
...she also loves Vince.

Sinu Siku
The Average Hero

----

Age: 17
Weapon: Pendulum of Water
Element: Water/Ice
Description: He grew up in a rich family, but always hated it. Other people would try to be his friends only because of what he had. It took him many years, but he finally found friends in Vince, Mae, and Caleb. He wants to be strong, and always tries his hardest. However, he tends to not listen and go his own way. This usually leads him into dangerous or embarrassing moments. He also has ill feelings toward Sonya.

Rose
The Hot-Headed Girl

----

Age: 19
Weapons: Twin Axes of Fire
Element: Fire
Description: A fighter all the way. She was soon to be kicked out of school because of all the fights she picked with other people. She will agree to anything if it involves violence. Her morals aren't the best in the world, but she isn't evil. She never really had a family and lived with Sam most of her life. Her and Sam have a strong rivalry. And...
Spoiler for:
...She likes Sinu.

Samantha (Sam)
The Quiet Strategist

----

Weapons: Chakrams of Earth
Element: Earth
Description: Almost the complete opposite of Rose. She is a straight-A student and is very quiet. In the new world, she serves as a strategist. Her and Rose share a rivalry. Her family ran a farm, so she understands hard work. She isn't very good in battle, but her strategies make her useful. Socially inept, but not naive. She is very keen to her surroundings, but not to the feelings of others. And...
Spoiler for:
She likes Caleb.

Sonya
The Trickster

----
(Faceset coming soon)
Weapon: Arrows of Time
Element: Time
Description: She loves tricks and games. This has made her unlikable at times. She isn't very well known in Vince's hometown, but she could fix that easily. She has amazingly keen senses and helps find traps. Although, sometimes she won't tell Sinu about them just to watch him walk into them. Because of this, Sinu doesn't really like her. She is playful and slightly naive, but overall a good person. And...
Spoiler for:
...She likes Vince AND Sinu. Big problem here.

Caleb
The Normal Person

----

Weapons: Dual guns of Wind
Element: Wind/Lightning
Description: He was relived to find that his weapon in the new world was a pair of guns. He likes normalcy and just wants to go home. He's nice, simple, and just plain normal. But, he is an excellent pathfinder and marksman, so he proves very useful. And...
Spoiler for:
...You were expecting me to say he liked someone didn't you? Well, you were wrong. ::)

Jin
The elder Sister

----

Weapon: Whip of Non-elemental
Element: Non-elemental
Description: The voice of reason in the group. She tries to direct the party in the safes direction, but is usually ignored. She taught at Vince's school and was well-liked even as a teacher. As Vince's sister, she is the only family Vince has in the new world. She is stern but kind. She's quite capable in battle and a good bargainer.

Important Characters
Odin

A young boy who helps out the group with knowledge.

The Overlord

A man as old as time. He is the cause of all the chaos in Daien.

The Red Death

A mysterious assassin who has supposedly been hired by the Overlord to attack the Magic Knights.

Good idea, though cliche (man it seems my hands love this word so much :P). Well, sorry. It's just... Okay, forget bout the story.

Why don't you add more details in characters?
By the way, Axer sounds... weird? I think Axewoman is better (though I still think it's weird too).

Rep:
Level 88
Well, I got the screenshots up. I'm hoping someone can help come up with some of those class names.. I agree with you, jap0911, Axer is wierd.. And I know it is cliche. It will get better as more of the story comes.

mapping can use work. too many empty spots can make a great game turn boring with no visuals while walking around.

I will show you two maps I made using the tilesets you show.
