Alithica: The Fall Of A Kingdom

http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a67/nuggetdie/newbanner.png[/IMG]


http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a67/nuggetdie/I.gif[/IMG]Story
Over two thousand years ago, war raged between the Nabidh and
Comharsa tribes. They fought over the beautiful lands of Alithica,
the only continent on the planet. It was not until a thousand years ago
that Devah, the God that created the world, set about the events to finish
the war. It ended in stalemate, and both tribes agreed to merge into one
Kingdom. The Nabidhan General Ulthrik was announced the first King of
Alithica, and finally the world was safe. However, Devah had not taken into
account the hundreds of years of Monarchy that would follow...


People grew angry, the kingdom degenerated. Alithica is a world torn into
political corruption, rival military leaders vying for power, Religious fanatacism,
a powerless King and a government split in two. Now is the time. Now is
when the only Royal with knowledge of the outside world will step up to the
fray, a young Prince by the name of Anmer Vitorus. Now is when anarchy will
be stopped. But Anmer does not know this yet, having been called onto a
routine protection mission, guarding a Duke's wagon. This is the first step to
overcoming an insanely overpowered government. But is he up to the task?

Prince Anmer of Alithica http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a67/nu ... anmer1.png[/IMG]
Age: 21
Class: Swordsman
Damage Type (Skills and Weapons used): Light, Sword & Sword Skills.
Bio: The only son of King Vitorus and a well trained swordsman, and next heir to the Alithican throne. He was well educated outside of the Royal Palace, so he does not have the same overview of Alithica as the Royal Family. He knows being a Prince holds little responsibility in this land, though it does mean he can reach his full potential as a Knight of the Alithican Guard. He was trained well by Sir Gharrus, and weilds a sword in battle. Being of royal blood, he also possesses Light Magic abilities.



Sir Gharrus http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a67/nu ... harrus.png[/IMG]
Age: 57
Class: Knight
Damage Type: Sword & Advanced Sword Skills.
Bio: An extremely experienced Swordsman, as is proven by his Knighthood. He has turned many Squires into fully fledged Swordsmen. He trains fewer Squires than he used to, though, as his increasing age puts him in a more behind-the-scenes job, directing the trainers rather than training. He has a very cynical view of life, and is extremely diligent about his work. His final Apprentice isn't even a real Squire, but an Apprentice Mage learning some melee combat attacks to aid him in battle. He is a very highly trained Knight, but his age makes him a little slow, but hard-hitting. He weilds a sword in battle.



Apprentice Rhan http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a67/nuggetdie/rhan.png[/IMG]
Age: 19
Class: Apprentice Mage
Damage Type: Base Elemental Magic, Magic Staff Skills
Bio: An Apprentice Mage, Rhan typically trains under Master Wizard Drake, but is currently undergoing a melee course with Sir Gharrus to gain his official Mage title. He is childish and naive, often careless. Somehow, though, he has little left to do in his training, and is a well-accomplished mage, even with his quirky personality. Rhan and Anmer have been friends for years, and is Anmer's only real friend. Rhan uses magic staves as his weapons, and he has an extensive set of Basic Elemental Magic skills.


Priestess Stefanie http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a67/nu ... nette1.png[/IMG]
Age: 18
Class: Trainee Priestess
Damage Type: Holy and Prayer skills, Blessed/Holy Staff skills
Bio: A Priestess-in-training at the Church of Devah, she is highly devoted to her faith, but that is mainly because of sixteen years of religious indoctrination. She knows very little about the outside world, and very little about the fact that she is one of few who still believes that Devah exists. However, she is quickly exposed to the horror of 'real' life in Alithica, and does not adapt easily from her religious routine. She weilds Holy Symbols in battle and has many Holy and Prayer skills.

Mayor Orion Montague http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a67/nu ... tague1.png[/IMG]
Age: 43
Bio: The real ruler of Alithica's capital, Ulthrik, and all-round nasty politician. He is the elected mayor of Ulthark, but even if he wasn't voted in, the fear he generates would have gotten him into office regardless. He is very well spoken and charismatic, however he has the strange ability to get what he wants from anyone. Orion was trained from the age of 14 as a Swordsman by Gharrus, but only two years into his training, Gharrus grew tired of Orion's subversive nature, and refused to train him any longer. Orion took advantage of this and got into politics instead, quickly rising through the ranks.

Title Screen.

Now for the more game-related stuff.

- RTP-Style. Standard battle system, nothing fancy there.​
- Custom icons for weapons.​
- Say goodbye to Cross Cut. Brand new skills and states everywhere.​
- Yes, I know this is stuff that all games should have. But hey, at least it doesn't involve crystals.​

- Some charsets from PhanxGames, all by thephantom.​
- Some edited charsets by me.​
- Music from Chrono Symphonic, Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross.​
- Minor script tweaking by me.​
 
Cheers to whichever lovely person moved it here.

Also, bumps. I've updated the title screenshot, it's a very small script edit, but I think it works better than the default positioning.

I appreciate all feedback, comments, complaints, questions and cash.
 
Sounds interesting. I'll be keeping an eye on this one.

There are a few things I would change though. Stefanie is only 16? That's quite young. If you can make her young age believable, then it shouldn't be a problem. Just be careful when dealing with very young heroes.

Also, the forest paths are very narrow, very straight, and very plain. If you can make them a bit more interesting, that would be great. Just add some foliage and make the paths a bit more random.

Music from Chrono Symphonic? I love chrono symphonic! I'd like to see how you use them! ;)

Hmm. Now that I think of it, I'll age her up a little.

This is a good point. I'm redoing quite a bit of the forest, but keeping the basic layout. (Which you don't know of yet, seeing as I haven't revealed a fullsize map. :P

It'll mainly be for the more intense moments, I'm using the original midis for the game music.

Anyone else out in RMXP-Land fancy commenting? :D
