Characters
Spriter is currently working on the sprites (FATE Redux)

Warren:
The main protagonist. He was born and raised in Sparta with his best freind, Linda.
Weapon of choice: Sword (How cliche)
Bio: A young worker without a care in the world. After the war started he was drafted and sent of to West Port where he met up Artemis. In his 2 week stay there they became good freinds. At the end of the second week, he was to be shipped off to the Southern Continent to go fight. Artemis used her theiving skills to get Warren out and back to Sparta.

Artemis: The main girl protagonist.
Weapon of choice: Fists
Bio: Named after the planet "Artemis" she is a sly young girl in search of some quick cash. Her brother was drafted and killed in the war a year before Warren was drafted. Fueled by this anger, she made a vow to stop at nothing to get revenge on the south.

Linda: Warren's childhood freind.
Bio: She dissapeared on her 16th birthday to the surprise of everyone. Warren spent a year looking for her before giving up and going back to Sparta.

Alexander: The great knight who had prevented the war for many years.
Weapon of Choice: Longsword
Bio: His childhood dream was to become a great knight and to fight for his freinds and family. But when the threat of war actually came, he was the great ambassador trying to prevent it with all his will. After a Spartan ship sunk, the government decided to wage war even as Alexander protested. The Knight's order kicked him out because of his stance. After a few years he decided to make a shelter town for those displaced by the war.


The northern continent

Sparta: The largest city in the world which is located on the southern peninsula of this continent. Warren is from here.

West Port- A small port town where Artemis was born. Here is where most big ships come in, but with the war it's mostly war ships now.

Light Temple- Located in northern Sparta, it is home to many monks and nuns and the famous "Light Alter" which is said to gran holy powers unto the one with the elements.

Water/Ice Temple- Located on the Eastern Peninsula, this is the temple with the element of Water and the element of Ice.

Alexandria- The greatest knight Alexander lives here residing in his castle watching over his townsfolk. This area is on the Eastern Peninsula.

The farms-

Farms cover the east side of the continent because of its fertile soil.

The southern continent

Warrior's guild- Located at the heart of the Northern continent, this structure is heavely defended against any attack someone could bring. The main planning stage for the War and home to many noble and ruthless warriors alike.

South valley- A small farm town located just south of the Warrior's guild. It doesnt have much to do with the war, and welcomes the money of the Spartas and the south continent people alike.

Earth Temple- In the large forest on this continent lies a forgotten temple buryed beneath the ground...


The Eastern Continent

Fire Temple- The temple of the fire element.


Artemis

A large planet with a mostly tropical climate. This planet is made 90% of water. The magic levels of this planet are staggeringly high.



Atlas

A snow covered planet where magic is very scarce.

That aside, this sounds prety interesting. Any ideas when you'll have a demo ready?

The storyline seemed pretty good, but started to seem cliche at this sentence.
 
Wikipedia is your friend! Looks interesting although there is a not a lot of story revealed. You could describe the bad guys a bit more and more info on the characters.

What should I look up on Wikipedia? As for the characters I was typing very late at night so theres not much, but I will update with more soon. :D
 
I got the name of all my weapons names, half my evil characters names abilities and personalities, skills, info and some ideas for my storyline just by looking through Greek and Roman Mythology. If you're gonna use ancient greek names you could research about them a bit at least, you may find some themes for your games.
