Storyline


The Tale of Elemental Heights''


“In 200AP Elemental Heights, was created situated above the mortal world below where the humans worshiped the Pagan Gods.
In 210AP: The first Mages were born, each born to one of the five Elemental Powers: Earth, Water, Fire and Soul. Their elemental Colours became their names, Red for Fire, Green for Earth, Blue for Water and White for soul. Years past and the five mages grew closer and yet something seemed uncertain. Tensions began to grow as a power struggle ensued between the Red and White Mages,
Things eventually got out of hand, a battle waged between the two Mages; they destroyed the Elemental Temple, The Green Mage decides that something needed to be done and a meeting was called, this was to become known as the first meeting of the Elemental Guardians. All but one of the Mages turned up to discuss what was to become of their future...and how the Elementals can live on...

After much discussion the Elemental Guardians decide that to end this they where to divide the world below into different continents, and place the different villagers into the continents where they would live as the New Mages.

Each of the Mage's would place their powers into the world below dividing the continents under the following names:

> Teó: Air Mages
> Aingeal: Fire Mages
> Deuraich: Water Mages
> Talamh: Earth Mages

Due to the fact that he refused to attend the meetings, he was struck from the list; he was no longer considered as an Elemental nor was he considered a Guardian, he was an outcast and was no longer welcome!

However, unknown to them he was there...and he watched their plans, and plotted his revenge...

World Development



The world of Elemental is known as Bá¡idheil, (BA-id-HEEL).It is then split into Four continents each continent holds One of the five Mages as shown below


Listed below are the Capitals of the cities also with a small description to each:

Rutilian



Description: Rutilan village is the home of the Red Mages, it is situated on two levels the bottom level is covered with lava...this also is where the Red Mages live. On the top level there are a number of teleports usable by only Red Mages. Also on the top level there is a single house, This house has now become an attraction to all Red Mages as they are not able to view the outsides of their own home, The famous building has never been entered due to the face that the Red Mages use teleports to enter and exit any building they desire to enter...many attempts to create a teleport that lets the user into this house but it seems to be the only way to get in is to open the door...a concept no Red Mage is able to do

Background: Rutilan was first founded by Sir Rutilan. Sir Rutilan kept the ancestors safe via a special brand of magic known as Elemental Magic, which takes into concept all four of the elements in the world: Fire Water Air Earth. However it turned out that the power was much too strong and it overwhelmed him causing eventually his death, however some Red Mage Folk Law says that before he became overwhelmed by The Element. However before he became overwhelmed by the power, he realized that something was going on and he created a secret underground section where only those select few could warp down there using a special ability!

Brimlad



Description: Brimlad Town is home to a mysterious group of Mages known as Blue Mages, The most prominent features of Brimlad are the water fountains, they all have different healing properties, however unknown to other mages there is a secret hidden deep within the confines of the city lies a secret underground school where secret lessons are being taken place.
Background: The underground school was built after the war so that if by any chance Elemental Mages revive themselves again then they have more of a defense!

Gaisu


Description: Gaisu Island is a beach where the Air Mages live. Gaisu Island is very small due to the fact that there are very few Air Mages left. The Island is beautiful, with everything ranging from palm trees to long windy beaches, some people believe it to be paradise, however there is more going on than meets the eye
BackgroundThis place is one of the first to have been rebuilt after the war...some people question why it was built first, others just except that it is purely because it is stunning and close to the water

Aarderian


Description: Aarderian, is the home of the Earth Mages, The most prominent feature of this city is the entrance with a small path to walk and one slip could spell unforeseeable doom many people decide to avoid this amazingly beautiful city, the city itself although simplistic offers everything anyone could ever need,, it is like a jungle paradise, there is none that is as beautiful as this!

I didn't knew "Ren" is english for "FF X-2 Rikku in pink"? Okay, serious now: Looks like good project but a bit unoriginal at some points like the title and Ren who is an obvious rip-off of Rikku if you see that character art picture. The story also reminds me a bit of Avatar (Legend of Aang)
 
Ren was based off of Rikku, especially with the concept art used :D However, that is soon to change as on further developments of Ren's character mixing with the Voice Actress who plays Ren, we have made slight adoptions to her character, just the concept art remains of Ren's FFX lineage :D However this week my new Artist is working on her new concept art...which brings her character forward more and ebbing away from Rikku, but there is truth in your observations :biggrin:

The only links between Avatar and Elemental that I can think of is the fact that there are different nations based on each Element, but the positioning is based on Wiccan beliefs of where each element is positioned... in the world :D

The title, yeah I know slightly un original, not really an excuse for that...but the game is based on the Elements so it suits the project, plus originally the Purple Mage was called The Elemental that is the background for the title...Also, although the title is unoriginal, the story I believe is where this project will shine :wink: it is difficult to explain the Story without using Cliché's however I hope with time you will see that I am not merely posting some recycled storyline and that although the Title is highly unoriginal the story itself is original!

Thankyou for your comments it is appreciated
