Alright, I haven't been able to settle on a single project in the past, but an interesting fact about all my previous projects is that the majority of them took place in the same setting...
...So, I've decided to sort of merge elements from all of them to create this one game, a fantasy/action/adventure/comedy/drama that would be a great "first installment" to the series...
.:Introduction to the world of Tera:.
~:The Story So Far:~
Long ago, a vicious war was waged between the vangaras, separated into factions of light and darkness. The Light Vangaras fought to stop their Dark counterparts from opening the seal of Iravalde, a dark varian overlord who once tried to devour the universe, in an attempt to control his immense power and take over the world. They eventually were able to take the world under their sway for a little while even without Iravalde's power, but their reign of terror was cut short by Vangara Rashade, who stepped up to lead the army of light and defeated the leader of the dark faction, Vangara Zakarae, one of the most powerful meikia experts in history, thereby putting an end to the war.
Over a hundred years later, the dark vangaras still exist, but are commonly known as the "Brotherhood of Iravalde" and operate more like a shady cult than a terrorist faction, and have so far not done anything that threatens the safety of the planet.
...Until...
A messenger arrives to the Zardion Council Hall of the Allied Trion Realms (an alliance of three nearby kingdoms that the game starts off in) with a tip that the Brotherhood is looking for the gauntlet of Saschia, a golden, meikia-imbued glove-like artifact that originally belonged to an extremely evil dark vangara named, of course, Saschia, who was a member of the original Dark Faction, serving as its lead researcher into Varian mind control, as well as the cruel dictator of a dystopian kingdom known as Béancia, which faded out of existence after the war... Overall, she was a total jerk...
The Gauntlet supposedly has the indomitable power to control minds, and is said to be strong enough to even subdue a varian. What's more, according to the messenger, the Brotherhood plans on taking the "daughters of the world's royal blood" and using them in their plan somehow. Considering how dangerous this thing could be if placed in the wrong hands, the king summons two rookie knights, Max "Dynamo" Evercrest and Axel Braveheart, to go and guard the gauntlet by patrolling the deep, deep dungeon that it is being contained in before the Brotherhood of Iravalde can get it. However, once the brotherhood arrives, the two are shocked to find that Vangara Zakarae is still alive, and completely overpowers them, taking the gauntlet for himself and fleeing.
When Axel and Max return to the king, he gives them a new objective: Since they couldn't stop the gauntlet from being stolen, they must protect Amy, the princess of Zarenai, the Allied Trion's foremost realm, who tags along with them as they set out to defeat the brotherhood's generals, steal their 'resistance rings' (large rings that can be worn as either bracelets or chokers that protect the wearer from the Gauntlet's power), and give them to the rest of the world's princesses to keep the brotherhood from attaining their goal. Fortunately, Amy already has a resistance ring, so that's one less thing to worry about.
Of course, things don't go entirely as planned. Contrary to the popular conception that princesses are kind and graceful, the two knights (and their expanding party of warriors) soon find out that each of the princesses, while beautiful, have various negative quirks that make them very tough to deal with, with Max's source of strife being Amy's obsession with him. Furthermore, some of the princesses get captured over the course of the adventure.
...Then things start getting hairy... *Dun-dun-DUN!*

...So, I've decided to sort of merge elements from all of them to create this one game, a fantasy/action/adventure/comedy/drama that would be a great "first installment" to the series...
Welcome to the world of Tera, where all living things generate a highly maliable energy from their bodies called Meikia energy. Like all civilizations, they use their unique abilities to beat the living snot out of each other. Meikia energy is a substance that can alter the very fabric of the universe, making it possible to blast fire, create tidal waves, call forth storms and even animate inanimate objects. (Rocks, trees etc) Basically, if you've done it with magic, chances are you can do it with meikia.
Those who practice meikia manipulation are known as Vangaras (Men of the Vanguard). The Supreme Arch-Vangaras' Guild has become the richest, most powerful guild on Tera. They are devoted to uncovering the full extent of the capabilities of Meikia, and have been working toward that goal for thousands of years.
The world of Tera was once ruled by powerful, seemingly immortal shapeshifters known as Varians. Made of pure Meikia energy, it seemed that nothing could ever threaten their rulership. Until some really crafty hominids came up with a substance called Nixdar, which causes Varians to melt like salted slugs. A war broke out, and surprisingly, the Varians lost. Doomed to seek shelter on a chunk of land hovering in the air, the amazing creatures now face extinction...
Before the invention of Nixdar, though, killing a varian was considered nearly impossible, so when criminals among them faced what would be the "death penalty" for hominids, they sealed the malevolent beings in various forms of suspended animation. Pocket dimensions, specially designed containment pods, the works.
Fast forward to the 24th century of the world, and you'll find that very few people seem to care about the world's history anymore...
Now this world is much like our world... That is, if our world had monstrous beasts roaming through the woodlands... and meikia for use in everyday life. ...And a huge treasure-hunting industry... Nevertheless, it's like ours in the sense that everyone wants the same things we strive for - A good job, a loving family complete with a cabbit for a pet,(okay, that's just Tera...) and money... Lots and lots of money.
However, as the people of Tera will soon discover, the past will always be there and should never be forgotten, lest you be caught off guard when its vestiges begin to resurface and threaten us all...

...Then things start getting hairy... *Dun-dun-DUN!*
One of the missions involves rescuing a captured princess named Emily from the Dark Vangaras, who must be fought in order to attempt to break her free of the control. Once this happens, the gauntlet flies off of Zakarae's arm in a firey explosion. Emily hurries to pick up the gauntlet to try and use it against Zakarae, but once she slips it on, it seems as if instead of gaining the power to control minds, another mind takes over hers! It is then revealed that Saschia is indeed still alive and hidden deep somewhere in stasis, waiting for a woman with a "fragile mind" to slip on the glove, thereby giving Saschia long-distance control over her. She will use this princess' body to awaken her real body and plunge the world under her evil rule once again.
During this attempt to rescue Emily, however, the rest of the brotherhood raids the fortress where the princesses are being kept, and takes every last one of them...
...Except for...
Amy?!
Yes, indeed, Princess Amy, with a black hood and robe on! She was in cahoots with the Brotherhood of Iravalde the entire time and only gathered up the princesses to make them an easy catch for them! (Which is how she had a resistance ring in the first place) However, she stole all of the other resistance rings from the brotherhood's generals and kept them for herself, as she had her own agenda that even betrays the brotherhood!
With enough resistance rings on, she, as a woman, can weild the Gauntlet of Saschia without getting controlled. She plans on awakening Saschia herself, getting control of her body and using it as a sacrifice to release Iravalde, so that she can control him.
