Soulwake: Sword of the Spirit Concept Design

Sword of the Spirit


Maker: XP
Expert LvL: Writing 7.7, Art-7, Spriting-7.5, Musik-8, Scripting 0.1


Theme of the Game
Unlike most traditional RPG's in the past, Soulwake will be set in the modern world. A world no different than ours, that is rapidly approaching something unprecedented that will change the course of history forever. Some believe this is what the Bible talks about, while others think it's the beginning of the new age. While the ancient Mayans devised a calendar of the universe that ended in the year 2012 that would be marked as a time of spiritual enlightenment. Whatever course history might take, by focusing on a game that revolves around this topic, I'm hoping to establish a closer connection with the player and the hero. Soulwake will discuss various spiritual issues of life along the character's journey as well as different aspects of our world that are rarely discussed.

They have spent countless eons scouring the galaxy in everlasting chains of darkness...among the abomination that is called Nibiru, a war machine prison planet infused with the souls of the fallen and driven by the very nature of sin itself. It harnesses a power inconcievable by the standards of mankind, and at its core lies it's source, a weapon called Satan, the once great covering cherub who was cast out of heaven along with 1/3 of the once heavenly host. Their consciousness has been seared as with a hot iron, the very reason God imprisoned them on Nibiru.
He is called the Prince of Air, and enthroned at the heart of Nibiru he plots his strategy for his final war, laying waste to infinite barren planets and destroying stars to travel in light speed in his search for mankind and Earth, scanning day and night amongst the cosmos for the moment when the signal will be transmitted from Earth's airwaves, revealing our exact location.
Unfortunetly, this day is closer for Earth than anyone ever expected. For mankind has not only made contact with Nibiru, but is about to complete the final bridge to the spiritual world as well.... Where David and his crew are about to embark on the greatest and most dangerous journey that has ever been taken in the very course of time itself. Only with the Sword of the Spirit, and the help of a loving but almost forgotten God can he restore peace to his beloved world.



Soulwake is based in our world and the player starts off in America.
Party members will range in all races and social classes. Through
the first few hours of gameplay, the world is changing at an
incredible rate. The war in Iraq has exploded into an uncontrollable
religious war that engulfs the entire middle east compelling world
leaders to bring a greater sense of unity, an internal revolution is
flaring in the midst of America, weather patterns are changing
significantly, war sparks among other nations, a biological attack
on the USA kills thousands while at the same time mutating and
transforming man and animal alike leaving wastelands of zombies,
hybrids, and chimeras, leaving much of the rest of the country under
martial law and forcing millions to fend for themselves against
these creatures, a meteor crashes into the pacific ocean plunging
mankind into even deeper chaos and questioning why their maker
hasn't saved them yet. A spiritual force known as kundalini is
adopted by the mainstream as the only hope mankind has to overcome
this hell, but sadly many choose to abuse this power, plunging the
world into deeper chaos. This confusion opens the gate for a
sinister dictatorship that relies on deception and fear to control
the world and bring about a new order.

You journey through this scenario meeting friends and allies that
will help you survive in this world and eventually you discover the
secret behind this deception. You are granted the "Sword of the
Spirit" to engage the spiritual forces of darkness that are now
plaqing the world.

NPCs (Non-Playable-Characters)
The 4 Keepers - Abaddon(Earth),Jezebel(Water),Lucifer(Air), and Moloch(Fire)
4fallen0002.jpg
Abaddon(Greek: Apollyon) - The Destroyer
Scripture Relevance
REVELATION 9:11 They have as king over them, the angel of the Abyss; his name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in the Greek he has the name Apollyon.
REVELATION 9:1 And the fifth angel blew his trumpet, and I saw a star fallen from heaven to earth, and he was given the key of the shaft of the bottomless pit; 2 he opened the shaft of the bottomless pit and from the shaft rose smoke like the smoke of a great furnace, and the sun and the air were darkened with the smoke from the shaft.
REVELATION 9:3 Then from the smoke came locusts on the earth, and they were given power like the power of scorpions of the earth; 4 they were told not to harm the grass of the earth or any green growth or any tree, but only those of mankind who have not the seal of God upon their foreheads; 5 they were allowed to torture them for five months, but not to kill them, and their torture was like the torture of a scorpion, when it stings a man. 6 And in those days men will seek death and will not find it; they will long to die, and death will fly from them.
Demonic monsters are released which fly like locusts (Exodus 10:12-20; Joel 1:4, 2:4-14) and sting like scorpions (Ezekiel 2:6, Lk 11:12).
REVELATION 9:7 In appearance the locusts were like horses arrayed for battle; on their heads were what looked like crowns of gold; their faces were like human faces, 8 their hair like women's hair, and their teeth like lions' teeth; 9 they had scales like iron breastplates, and the noise of their wings was like the noise of many chariots with horses rushing into battle. 10 They have tails like scorpions, and stings, and their power of hurting men for five months lies in their tails. 11 They have as king over them the angel of the bottomless pit; his name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek he is called Apollyon.[/

Ruinz of Babylon

Once the shores of New York are attacked with biological/chemical weapons, the city literally becomes a Wasteland filled with human turned zombies who have lost all sense of reality, mutants genetically altered from the radiation, along with multiple hybrids of animals who have either mutated with other animals to create chimeras OR alone attack you in groups. Once the radiation levels have dropped you our allowed access into the city by Quarantine.

MUCH MUCH MORE CONTENT COMING SOON, I JUST WANTED TO GET THE TOPIC STARTED SO I HAVE SOMETHING TO WORK FROM, THANKS
 
Dude, I dig Skye's 2nd design, which will make her more Asian... and I dig her outfit. By the way, this work of yours went like Tim LaHaye's & Jerry Jenkins' Left Behind novels [specifically, the Tribulation Force] in Western Anime fashion (refer to Marathon's Totally Spies & Martin Mystery)... or more likely a Bleach'ed Left Behind game (The Rapture, anime style!).
 
Hmm... this is a very interesting game. That's a very well developed story, and I actually read the entire thing (which is very rare for me to do). This project looks like it MIGHT be good.
 
MAJOR UPDATE to the storyline and finally, some colourd pics up along with a wip title screen, check out the story section and let me know what you think, thanks!
 
hey i got a few more character concepts in mind, heres the first 1, his names michael. this is the first of his 2 or 3 forms. He is a etheral spirit being transmitting himself to earth, He is lightyears into space currently battling a great war in heaven. as he gets closer his form changes greatly. what do you think about that concept for him relating to the story?
