Sinister Saga

-About Me-
Hello RMXP.org. This is my first real game I have been developing for really almost a year now. This is the first time i'm bringing the project to a forum. Please don't hesitate to give any constructive critisism you can dish out as it will be greatly appreciated. The game is still in development at this no with no scheduled release date for a demo or the full game. I am currently working by myself on this project, everything you see was done by me. I hope you'll like what I have to show so far.

Please be aware that there are still loose ends in the project's catagories. These will be addressed as soon as possible.

The story takes place in a fictional galaxy consisting of five planets. Recently the planet Nefarii has been destroyed by an unknown cause, leaving in it's place a deadly Neurotoxic gas floating by in space. Many are looking into what caused this occurance to happen. You start off as Yusei Huga, an assassin/theif who works for a widely known organization of theives, the "Peregrine Falcons". Accompanied by your sister Amali Huga, and the widely known "Azure Knight" Azazel, you take on a mission to aquire a database which holds all of the banks throughout the galaxies' data which has been seen on the planet 7th Utopia. Thus the story begins...

This game consists of six playabe characters with the addition of four "optional" playable characters. Those marked with "Mandatory" must be optained in order to advance through the story.

-Yusei Huga (Mandatory)-
http://img368.imageshack.us/img368/8670/hugafn7.png[/img]

Age: 21                                                                                                         
Planet: Zuu                                                                                                 
Weapon of Choice: Wakizashi & Tanto   
Fighting Style: Myousuken                                                                             

Description: Yusei is the descendent of the famed Huga family, who’s known for their traditional circus shows on the planet Zuu. Growing up with such fame, one would think he would have an easy life, but it isn’t the case for him. He hated that life, and eventually ran away, persuing a life of thievery. He dispises his families legacy, often refering them as "circus clowns", but he does use his inherited traits as an advantage. He was always fascinated with toys, specifically puppets, which he uses as his "reinforcements" on his missions.

Fighting Description: Yusei's training in the circus has enabled him to become an expert at puppeteering and ventriloquism. A combination of this talent with basic attributes of Myousuken enables him to use some very unique teckniques. He can create puppet clones of himself, or turn himself into a puppet for a short time. He can also travel his voice through very skilled Ventriloquism, making his voice heard in other areas of his choosing. He is also immune to certain status effects like hypothermia, paralyzes, and sleep.

-Amali Huga (Mandatory)-

After hearing that her brother left, she persued him trying to figure out the cause of this, which is when she witnessed her church on fire by an unknown cause. Nobody knows what exactly happened afterwards, but since then she's been seen carrying the cross of her burnt church viciously tied to her arm. She considers killers as sinners, and feels the need to kill those who disagrees with her ways. 

Fighting Description: Using her astonishing abilities as a medical nurse with some impressive Jisatsuken, she almost never runs out of energy, enabling her to use death-threatening teckniques without the expense of dying. She can also pinpoint her attacks to a specific bodypart on her victims, ensure either a quick and painless death for some, or a gruesome and painfull death for others. She also posesses the "Goshou" tecknique, which enables her to drain the Ether Potential of others to raise hers.

He suffers from the disease "Tuberculosis " after being exposed to the neurotoxic gas of Nefarii some months ago. It's effectively attacking his lungs, but what's really noticable is the damage it did on his left arm, which is why hears this prosthetic arm. He is often to himself and doesn't like to share his emotions with anyone. He also developed a mild speech impediment.

Fighting Description:  Konamaru's addiction with nature has evolved so well, he can communicate with the animals that inhibit it. He also developed a "six sense" which enables him to control the shadows of his enemies and certain objects. It can only be done in lit areas however.

Fighting Description: Undecided

-Jisatsuken-
Jisatsuken, often referred to as the suicidal tecknique, is the use of going to dramatic resorts to kill your enemies. It used by completely using all of the energy stored inside of you before ATP is produced to drastically enhance your physical strength. This however will create serious injuries if used to consistantly which could lead to a coma, or eventually death. Jisatsuken was banned from all planets within our galaxy except Zuu for this reason. Advanced Jisatsuken can result in catastrophic changes of the world, resulting in Earthquakes, typhoons, some cases of global warming have been confirmed although they don't know if it's traced to the usage of Jisatsuken. 

-Kengekisuken-
Kengekisuken revolves around weapon usage. Founded by the planet "Scion", Kengekisuken consists of effectively using your weaponry to defeat your enemy. Althourhg one of the most basic fighting styles, it's very effective both in close range and long range instances. It is also the only fighting style that requires virtually no "Ether Potential" to use, making users of it able to fight for a long time without getting tired or lose alot of energy.

-Gokansuken-
Gokansuken is a fighting style that consists of using your six senses to utulize abilities that otherwise seems unethical. It was developed during the Tyrannical reign of "Raija" of the planet Scourge. Slaves were severly outmatched in terms of strength by the army he led, so they resorted to using wheir wits and instinct to be able to break free, hide, and eventually escape to freedom. Some advanced abilities that are attained through the use of Gokansuken is the ability of see through the darkness, ability to sense nearby traps, hearing at a vast distance, and eating poisonous plants to infuse the poison with your saliva without damaging your internal organs.

-Yadosuken-
Yadosuken is a fighting style that bases itself on the usage of status effects, status alignments and the direct use of viruses. Founded on the planet Nefarii, Yadosuken consists of mixing the minerals, gases, percipitation, etc. around you to manipulate the current status' of foes and allies alike. by manipulating the abiotic factors around you, various status' can be created, such as flame barriers, sleeping powder, certain curable cancers, ability of flight, water walking, and various others. Yadosuken users generally do not use use weaponry nor wear armor in combat. They almost never get into physical contact with their opponents.

-Myousuken-
Myousuken consists of mixing the factors of reality with illusions. Myousuken generally revolves around mentally confusing your enemies into believing that the illusions is reality and reality is nothing but an illusion. Like Yadosuken users, Myousuken generally do not use weaponry. They rely on their foe to attack and damage themselves mentally and physically. User's of Myousuken generally defeat their foes by the means of PTSD, or traumatising their victims to death.

-Scion-
The planet in the past. Even in our times, Scion still believes in royal families and kings and queens. This planet is ruled by a Real Monarchy government, a planet ruled by a king and queen who's position of power is inherited. Many would speculate that this would lead to dictatorship like The Scourge, but this is not the case. Scion is the fourth planet from the Artificial Sun. Being directly behind Nefarii's neurotoxic gas, it's mostly dark with only little sunlight per day. There have also been cases of the neurotoxic gases taking minor effects on Scion's atmosphere.

-The Scourge-
One of the worst planets to live in unless you hold some sort of power. The Scourge is a Totalitarian planet, meaning it's ruled by the government completely. Every aspect of the citizens lived are decided by the government of the planet, they have absolutely no rights. To counter the strict policies of the planet, The Scourge is the cleanest, safest place to live. You'd never expect it to be ran by a dictator. The Scourge is the first planet from the Artificial Sun, making it the most brutally hot planet in the galaxy. It's deserts are known to reahc temperatures up to 150F

-Nefarii-
Once a flourished and luxurious land, it was recently destroyed by an unknown cause, and in it's place left a mysterious neurotoxic gas that hasn't disappeared since it's destruction. Nefarii was once ruled by Sovereignty, a lone planet that answered to no other planet or had any affiliation with the other panets. It was the third planet from the Artificial Sun, and the second planet to "mysteriously" vanish.

-Zuu-
"No government, no order". This is the famous quote the inhibitants of Zuu lives by. Zuu is an Anarchy ran planet. No one controls the planet, there is no government. The people living there have the right to do whatever they please. Zuu is the fifth plaet from the Atrificial Sun, making the coldest and darkest planet in the galaxy. The living conditiond of Zuu are currently non-existent, it has the absolute worse pollution recorded in the history of the galaxy. Normal inhibitants of Zuu are lucky to just have lung cancer.

-Lexuthamia-
Where everyone use to come from. Lexuthamia was the planet that hosted every living thing in the past, before space exploration began. At that time, religion was a major factor in people's lives. So much so, that they developed the first government which ran under Theocracy, a government ruled by religious leaders. Lexuthamia was the second planet from the Artificial Sun before it's destruction years ago, with 1st Utopia taking it's place a little while after.

-7th Utopia-
The 7th self-created planet to resemble the remnants of our homeland, planet Lexuthamia. They gave up their ways in believing Theocracy and decided that the path to utopia was a Republic, or Representative Democracy. 7th Utopia is now the second planet from the Artificial Sun, taking the place of the once "homeland", Lexuthamia.

Once all members of Sousetsu 72, "The Four" are somewhat survivors of the catastrophic destruction of planet Nefarii. Upon their arrival on Nefarii, these four suffered severe brutal attacks from animal inhibitants, they were all expected to die soon after, but somehow survived even after the destruction of Nefarii. Analysis' says that the DNA residue from their open wounds combined with the neurotoxic gas of S.I.N.I.S.T.E.R allowed the animal DNA into their blood stream, making them immune to the gases since the animals were widely known natives of the planet. Although it didn't kill them, they did gain dramatic mental effects from S.I.N.I.S.T.E.R. They also adapted rather strange physical features on their bodies.

-Echirov-
http://img79.imageshack.us/img79/9264/echirovdc6.png[/img]

Age: ???                                                                                                   
Planet: Scion
Animal Infusion: Leatherback Turtle
Mental Disorder: Schizoid Personality Disorder 
Emotion: Rage
Fighting Style: Kengekisuken & Gokansuken

Description: Born under the province of Scion, Ecirov is a man without a soul. He suffers from a severe case of Schizoid Personality Disorder, stating that he prefers a solitaire lifestyle. This would seem ok by todays standards, but combined with his excessive emotions of rage, he has proven to be a deadly foe. He feels the need to brutally massacre anyone who gets within decent range of him, as he considers them the reason for his suffering. He shows no compassion towards anything, and considers killing an intellectual sport. He is known to have lived for over 100 years, due to the infusion of the Leatherbakc Turtle, therefore his actual age is unknown. He is also able to breath underwater, although he needs to optain a sufficient amount of water to live, which he stores within his plated globes around and on his body. He is known to live over 4000ft deep within Scion's oceans to keep away from the outside world as much as he can. He is also able to use the "Countercurrent Exchange" tecknique, which allows him to keep an average body temperature dispite his location.

-Farah-
http://img135.imageshack.us/img135/2741/farahne0.png[/img]

Age: 26                                                                                                 
Planet: The Scourge
Animal Infusion: Peregrine Falocn
Mental Disorder: Dissociative Identity Disorder
Emotion: Boredom
Fighting Style: Gokansuken & Yadosuken

Description: Born in the province of The Scourge, Farah has two sides to her...or three...or four. Farah suffers from Dissociative Identity Disorder, a disorder in which the person affected displays multiple distinct personalities. This alone makes dealing with Farah physically a very difficult challenge. She's constantly changing her personality, thus constantly changing her attack patterns and abilities. The emotion of boredom only worsens the situation, since she never "reinacts" the same person twice, she always portraiys a new personality. She usually personifies the last person she encountered, although this is not always the case. The only thing that excites her is the pain of others, which is why she does it consistantly, otherwise she'd get bored pretty easily. Being infused with a Peregrine Falcon, she never takes her eye off of her prey. Once she marks her target, she won't stop until her mission is accomplished. She's the fastest known specie in the entire galaxy.

-Vigaroth-
http://img79.imageshack.us/img79/4018/vigarotheb3.png[/img]

Age: 38                                                                                                       
Planet: Zuu
Animal Infusion: Komodo Dragon
Mental Disorder: Depersonalization Disorder     
Emotion: Anxiety   
Fighting Style: Kengekisuken & Jisatsuken

Description: Born under the province of the planet Zuu, Vigaroth would seem like a guy who can stand his own ground, but this isn’t the case. He suffers from an extreme case of Depersonalization Disorder, a dissociative disorder in which the sufferer has recurrent feelings of one in a dream, feeling a connection from one’s body, like one’s in a movie. Under this status, Vigaroth easily performs out of control acts, although he can be heard trying to fight himself from committing these acts. He speaks in the third person, constantly trying to stop himself, although with no avail. His constant emotions of anxiety only increase the threat. He’ll go into a rage, then feels as though the one being attacked is endangering his life, making his onslaught even more fierce. Being infused with the genes of a Komodo Dragon, he is hard at hearing, making him believe the voices in his head are what his victims are actually saying. He is also vulnerable in distinguishing stationary objects due to a lack of cones in his pupils.

-Reina-
http://img135.imageshack.us/img135/9559/reinaqy2.png[/img]

Age: 31                                                                                                 
Planet: 7th Utopia
Animal Infusion: White-Winged Vampire Bat
Mental Disorder: Schizophrenia   
Emotion: Fear   
Fighting Style: Myousuken & Yadosuken

Description: Born under the province of 7th Utopia, Reina possesses incredible otherwordly talents. She suffers from an intense case of Schizoprenia, which enables her to manifest auditory hallucination, bizzare delusions, and otherworldly beliefs. Believing that her illusions are a reality has given her a very unique perspective of our galaxy as a whole. This only makes matters worse by, when infused with her extreme talents of myousuken, acually makes her illusions a reality. This would be somewhat okay if she believes in harmful illusions, but her constant emotions of fear only makes the matter worse. She always hallucinates someone's death, the destruction of cities, the beginning of armageddon, etc. Being infused with a Vampire bat, she always hides deep within dark, dense caverns where virtually no human has ever been, making it even worse to find her to stop the threat.

-Sousetsu 72-
An organization that once existed to erase the poison that is Droknan Industries. It consisted of 72 individuals, all from the various planets in the galaxy to rot out Droknan Industries' plans. It was said that all 72 members fled to Nefarii where they suspected Droknan Industries hideout, and upon their arrival, Nefarii exploded by Droknan Industries own doing. This has not been proven however.

Please tell me what you think about the project so far.

Awesome Bro

Pretty good, I think you could use more details in this post...You might have worked on it for about a year, but that doesn't mean we'll know what you do about your game's uniqueness. Go far, I think it looks great, the story is a good start, there could be more screens, a little more detail to character/setting/history...At least, that is my opinion without playing it. I love the tactics battle system, I use it in my game, but due to a lack RGSS knowledge, I haven't done much...Good luck! Get a demo out soon and I'll play it!
 
thanks for the comment. I know the story is unfinished, as there are quite a few pot holes that aren't filled as of you. I should have a very informed storyline within the next week or so
