Storyline

In the world of Versumi, a dark shadow has begun to pass over Jinosa. However, it has so far gone unnoticed. Emily Ann Jansson, a young girl of about 19, is called to Shilan by the Supreme Thief. When she arrives, she is given a mission. She must choose to take the mission, or be sentenced to "Death by Blood", a horrid death sentence that uses the forbidden art of Blood Magic to put the one sentenced into agonizing pain for three years that renders the body unable to die, but unable to move, until finally the sentence is finished, leaving one near death, in which hunger and thirst catch up with the person and finally kills them.

Emily leaves on the mission, which is to make his way to Darminia, Home of the Neko, and there she must find and kill the Princess, Valerie Olivia Seaborn. Upon arriving, she finds Valerie is not a bad person at all, even though she is a demon, and she finds herself falling in love with her, but Valerie will have nothing to do with her. She must then decide whether she will fulfill his mission, or if she will die for her sake. However, little do either know that soon, something would happen to shatter the foundations of the world, and the two of them, along with a Paladin named Zachary Joseph Ballmonte, and a cleric named Jessica Amelia Durand, would find themselves thrust into a quest, first for the Fruit of Ganji, a supposed cure-all, but then into a terrible journey to find and claim the ten Crystals of Chaos before an unknown evil can claim them for himself and free the God of Destruction from his prison.

Characters

Name: Zachary Joseph Ballmonte
Age: 22
Race: Human
Class: Paladin
Bio: Zachary was raised in the Black Knight city of Eldon. There he was brought up in the service of the Black Knights, but when he came of age, he attempted to forsake the path of the Black Knight. However, the Black Knights would not have it, and they chased him down into the Caverns of Baradol, where they met with a terrible fate at the hands of Agonis, the Seer of Ages. He was then brought into the Silver Tower, where Agonis taught him the Way of the Paladin.

Name: Jessica Amelia Durand
Age: 18
Race: Human
Class: Cleric
Bio: Jessica was brought up in the Desert City of Karagum until the age of 8, when a man by the name of Sidnos Drow managed to usurp the throne, and cast Jessica and her father into exile. However, Jessica had a strange disease that continued to slowly grip her, and day-by-day her breathing seemed to grow worse. Without the money they had as royalty, they could no longer afford the medicine that had seemed to slow the disease's progress, and she grew worse, quicker each day. In a hope to cure herself, she took the path of the Cleric, but not even their magic could cure her. It was then, at 15, that she met Zachary, who had begun his Paladin training. Together, they fell in love, and began to search for a way to cure her before it was too late.

Name: Emily Ann Jansson
Age: 19
Race: Human
Class: Thief
Bio: Emily began her "career" as a thief when her parents sold her to a slave trader when she was 4. The slave trader then seemed unable to sell Emily off, and she began to grow frustrated with the man. Day-by-day, Emily stole things from the trader, starting at food, but slowly working her way up. Soon, at the age of 12, she had had enough and she slayed the trader and freed the slaves. It was then that she was found by one of the Thieves Guilds around Versumi, which took her in and trained her up more. Soon, she had become a personal guard of the Supreme Thief of Shilan.

Name: Valerie Olivia Seaborn
Age: 20
Race: Neko
Class: Summoner
Bio: Born to the Neko of Darminia, the dark archmage, Dragona Dragmus, cursed her at birth. As she aged, her demon side began to fight against her human side, and soon, at the age of 10, the two sides had begun an all-out war in her body. Unable to control her demon side, she was thrust into fits of rage that caused her to unleash her powers upon the city around her. It was then that a special necklace was enchanted and placed around her neck. As long as she wore it, her demon side could be quelled. However, if she found herself enraged, the necklace's enchant would be unable to quell the demon side and she would unleash her power and rage. Once calmed, though, the necklace would once again quell the demon side within her.

FAQ

Quote from: Impatient person
When will you release a demo? I wanna see this game!
I will release a demo when I feel I have enough of the game done to warrant a demo. At this time, I only have a few maps, and I'm not even sure if I will be using those ones or not.

Quote from: Impatient person 2
When will this game be done? I wanna play it!
Ugh...I HATE this question with a passion. Too many times I see this question on other projects, including my own. Here's my answer I always use.
Quote from: Emi the bitch
It will be released when it is done. I'm working on releasing demos, but if that isn't enough for you...then...you'll just have to be patient, Mr. Impatient.
Yes, I can be rude if someone pisses me off. However, the game is in Beta right now. So, if you can wait just a little bit longer it will be released. That, or you can ask to join the beta crew...which may or may not be approved.


Quote from: Recruitment Question
This sounds like fun...are you recruiting for this? I'd like to help!
Yes, I am. I need some battlers and character sets. You can either find my request topics in the Request section, or you can PM me and ask me what needs to be done.

weird, I wonder what caused that. It's fixed now, though, or so it seems.

Nope. Both your topics image links don't work. I'm amazed you haven't noticed this yourself.

Rep: +0/-0Level 83
There should be no more problems with images on this side. I fixed all the links again. I'm gonna guess it's something on the message board that's messing them up, though, cause the way they are getting messed up is funky, and each of the links I've posted on this board are direct copies from another board.

Your plot seems a little flat, more as just describing everything that you COULD be revealing in game, instead just putting out half the story forward. Players enjoy a little mysticism with their plot in RPGs, rather than just reveal everything beforehand and then finish the rest in game.

I'm no good at writing plot summary...so I just went with whatever I could think up.
