Story Themes so far
possible beginning (1)
Jason is the one with the hidden past(partly because of the amnesia.)
Emilia secretly likes Jason and tries to help him everyway she can. Especially in the intro/scene 1 after Emilia finds Jason she takes him back to her house. In scene 2, soldiers come in the middle of the night showing her a picture of Jason and ask if she had seen him. She says no and they leave. The next day she tells her mother and she throws a fit and wants him out. He has not yet recovered and Emilia trys to reason with her mom. I'll tell more later. I have to go.
Possible ending
Also about the army...one of the little scenes I've got playing in my head is Jason's mind being "awoken". He is taken by an oracle guy, they (the little quest group) meet earlier on, who is with the army fighting etc. Anywho, he takes Jason to his tent, and awakes his mind, which triggersoff Jason's "war machine" ability, causing him to wipe out the whole army camped there...the magic spreads over a 5 or so mile radius, nearly killing the rest of the hroup, who only escape it by goign underwater...anywho, I associate this scene with the end of the game, and the last thing is that the group goes back and finds Jason in a very very big crater left by his destrcutive magic, and they have to fight him, and maybe, I don't have a clue if it will be allowed or not, end up killing him...and the game ending in a cutscene where Jason finds control of his powers etc, and comes to his senses long enough for a tearjerking scene with Emilia crying over him, before finally dieing..
Possible story partIve been thinkin about the story and I think that should happen after awhile like
(Jason is fighting in a battle for a seperate country then where his adventure will take place. )
After the battle the soldiers go back to the town and Jason goes home and goes strait to sleep. When he wakes up the next one he imediately gets an assignment. He has to go on a ship and sail to another town, to take them from the sea while some others will take them from the ground. While on sea a few days pass and he runs into an ambush. (Me and the animator show a cut scene where jason goes to help out and then it goes blank or somethin and he wakes up on beach) WHile on the beach he doesnt remeber any of the past events. He gets into a battle and then the monsters take somethin of his runs into the woods. from the woods he follows and then he gets jacked of most of his valuables that wasnt wiped away at sea, and is nearly killed. They leave him there and he is found the next day by Leone... Emalias lil brother. Leone takes him to his house and clothes him and his sister tends to his wounds. He wakes up and tries to move but emalia tells him he is wounded and tells him everything she knows between the time her brother found her and the time he has been there. A day passes and then the town is attacked , this is when he find out that the country is is being invaded by an evil guy with an army and a hunger for power. He is still wounded but he still goes out to fight for them Emilia tries to stop him but comes with him because she knows he wont listen. After the town is nearly half destroy but defended they return to emelias and go to sleep. THey wake up the next mourning and Emilia realizes her brother never came home. They go out to find him but hes already dead when they find him..
Possible story part
He is apart of another army, but feels that the (highest ranking officer) is just attacking villages because it makes him feel powerful. He discovers this to be true, and tries to tell the rest of his squad/platoon. They, very loyal soldiers, think he (the main character) is trying to take over the army. The hero and a few friends decide to leave, but the general dude tries to kill them. There are 6 escapees, ony 4 make it to the ship, which they steal from the lower, weaker soldiers cleaning it. They leave the island/continent/city and just sail in whichever way the wind blows. After a few weeks, they get caught in a massive hurricane/typhoon storm and one of the escapees falls over board and drowns. The last three manage to survive the storm, but, encounter a large sea creature. The creature is defeated, with no casualties, but as it goes under, its undertow is too strong for the ship. The last thing the player sees is the ship go under, and the screen fades to black. When the hero awakens on the beach, he realizes he has massive gashes, and a piece of wood sticking out of his side. he can't find his fellow soldiers, so he decides to head inland. He gets to the outskirts of the city, and faints.
Then the Soldiers are searching for a criminal that has just broken out of prison, and they search pretty far. The criminal sees your body, and takes your clothes, weapons, armor, items and gold. He scampers away, and about 10 minutes later, the guards come across your stripped body, and see you are greatly injured. The girl's brother, a very caring soul even though he is a soldier, decides to take you in, regardless of your background. You are taken to his house, where the city healer has you under a restraint spell, and the soldiers pull the wood out of you. You wake up screaming, and try to get out of bed, but you are still too weak, and you fall over and slowly lose consiousness. The city healer heals you and puts bandages with a special ointment to cure the scars. After many days (about 8-14) you awaken, and meet your caretaker, the soldier's sister. The hero just stares at her, and then closes his eyes again. Then another week or so passes and you wake up, and don't remember who you are, actually you don't remember anything before now. The village takes you in, and you become a normal townsfolk person. 4 months pass, and you hear shouting outside your house. You go outside to see what happened, and you see a familiar emblem on a heavily-armored soldier, picking on a friend of yours. But, you aren't angry at the fact your friend is getting pushed around, your a enraged at the emblem, and you don't even know why. You grab the nearest sword and attack full force. (Insert battle). After the battle ends, your character continues to slash and stab and cut up the soldier. Your caretaker stops you, and, since you are covered in blood, she takes you to get cleaned up. There, she tells you of how her brother came across your body, and everything else they know about. You tell her you don't remember anything, but the emblem on that soldiers armor made you go berserk. After the bath, she takes you on a stroll of the beach, and you come across one of your fellow escapees. He is dead, but the armor is made from a very durable mineral, so you take it, even though it is very beat up. This information seems to be easy for you to notice, but your caretaker explains she has never seen the mineral, or armor design anywhere before.
Possible part
Jason, Emilia, and (temporary party member) are searching the continent for scrolls/parchment/stone tablets or some other special artifact, when they come across your lost shipmate. He, unlike you, remembers everything (a little differently, because of the brain washing) and tries to kill you. Your party fights back (obviously) and starts to win. (shipmate) is amazed at your strength, and flees. Your team decides to chase him, and your temporary party member is the first to find him. (at this point game play changes to that of the temp. member) You fight against (shipmate) and lose. He kills you in a very evil and gory way, and leaves your body parts spread out across the floor. He laughs and flees again. (control goes back to your party) Then Jason and Emilia come across his mangled body, and you don't know what it is. Jason realizes it and jumps back, and starts to gag. Emilia, still in the dark about the object, looks at it. She leans over to get a closer look and sees your partners face in a pool of blood. She immediately jumps back and screams so loud (birds eye view of location, birds fly from trees) She can't stand up, but inches away, still shocked at the sight.
possible ending
hero dies (how unknown)
possible ending
hero is kidnapped by a wizard
My comments
 Day and night system could make it possible for alternate endings scenes and easter eggs
I had an idea where there is a natural rank with people born with jewels in either hand or their head that give them powers, they cant remove them or anything or customize their skills
we have three different stories
-first story follows raph (can find hooded character at certain times in certain areas as an easter egg) only can custommize main skills in their rank and weapons
-second story covers the hooded character (can find raph at certain times in certain areas as an easter egg) only can custommize main skills in their rank and weapons
-third story is unlockable once the other two are done and follows i dunno random character (third guy is completely customizable - except for name cause that only works on xp. Clothes, ranks (everything but the special born powers), friends and enemies (will effect story, party),
Characters need to eat and it effects their state of attacking...
-if they havent eaten for days or nights :they wont die just attack is normal defense is lowered and stats given by clothes dont have any effect
-If they have eaten way to much then: they wont die just attack is weak defense is normal and stats are given by the clothes
- if they have eaten just below or just above a normal level then there is no affect
- if what they have eaten is just right then they get a stat boost x2 for the foods content
- food content is a normal boost certain food gives most food fills hunger but some food can increase attack, defense, agility, etc for a certain amount of time (the longer it stands the more it costs or the more it increases and attribute)
- Also about the eating thing you can only eat food to the perfect point of stat boosting, if you over eat instead of falling to the perfect point it will fall to right below the perfect point.
Level 6 (10 bars)State where your stats are affected in battle
Level 5 (8 bars)Over eat
Level 4 (4 bars)Ok Eating lvl
Level 3 (2 bars)Perfect
Level 2 (4 bars)ok eating
Level 1 (6 bars)Under eating warning lvl
Level 0 (10 Bars)State where your stats are affected in battle
when you eat it rises lvls
when you get hungry it falls
to keep from being cheap lvl 3 can only be access through rising
when the hunger meter is falling it skips 3.
Also food should carry some type of taste
the better the taste the more filling it is the worst the less filling
taste lvls
lvl 1 Really Awful (rare food)- A 50% chance of just fills 20/10 of a lvl or 10/10
lvl 2 Awful - a 50% chance of filling 1 bar or 2 bar
lvl 3 Sweet - 50% chance of 7 bar or -20 bar
Lvl 4 Sour - 50% chance of 3 bar or 4 bar
Lvl 5 Drunk - 50% chance of 6 bar and 3 barwith +defense
Lvl 6 Normal - just fills 12 bar
lvl 7 spicy - 50% chance of 15 bar or 5 barand some defense
(any other if anyone wants to add)
Possible ranks
- Raph is born with a jewel in the back of his dominate hand he doesnt remeber what it does though or how to use it since he has amnesia
- person or girl i think it was walking with raph was born with a jewel that can steal enemy souls ( just recreates them in battle so you can summon them for attacking)
- Hooded Character is accompanied by a girl with a jewel hers does wind
- evil guy has mind control on his he can only control people with jewels if they dont have a ward on them
-third character doesnt have a jewel and searches for purpose cause hes an orphan (main reason why he can go around and the player can customize his rank... when i say customize it can only be chosen once.)
New Rank info
People born with jewels (they can have other jobs like thieves and stuff but they are mainly known by mortals by what they have.)
Mortals can still have magical powers through studing to become a magi, mage, wizard, sorceror, etc
I have a book on normal attacks people can use so bloop.
Also all magical people have mana ... no mana no attack
One last thing....
I dont know if ty told you three but me and him were talking about ways we could keep certain information from the public possibly through asking for a private forum in zelaron, creating a new forum of our own, and I forgot the last one lol but those two are some ways we could go by accomplishing it
