Story
"You need chaos in your soul
to give birth to a dancing star"
A cold, rainy night, somewhere on the mountains...
Two soldiers are on their way to take on an assignment.
They're heading to the mountaintop, supposed to find a treasure being claimed by the country's king.
A piece of cake for the two skillfull fighters Fried and Lou.
Despite them both not exactly liking each other, they often work on tasks as a team, probably because of Lou being the son of the king, dragging Fried along on his adventure trips as a helping hand.
Not that Fried, being the king's general, would have any right to protest, though...
As they arrived at the mountain's top however, nothing of importance can be found...
And for the information about the treasure being told by some rather dubious persons, doubts begin to arise.
So the both of them are accurately investigating the area until they discover a suspicious mechanism.
But instead of the treasure, a giant sea monster appears, apparently serving the purpose of protecting the treasure...
Of course no business for Fried and Lou!
So after dispatching the monster, the mysterious treasure finally appears...
But what happened then?
All of a sudden two thieves appear, snaffle the hard-worked-for treasure and leave the two soldiers standing out in the cold...
As quick as they have appeared, they're already gone, and thanks to some smoke bomb, back into nowhere. Without many words, Fried and Lou start to look for them, each on his own.
But without much success, and after a short time there's not even a sign of life of Lou anymore!
What happened to him? Has he been kidnapped? Killed? Or maybe his disappearance is due to something completely different?
And who exactly are the thieves? And what about the treasure?
Fried has been ordered by the king to clear these mysterious things up.
But Fried's main goal is revenge! Until now, he was able to fulfill every order 100%!
Not willing to bear the disgrace of being outwitted by some ordinary thieves, he now seeks to take revenge, get the treasure back, find Lou, and clean his reputation.

Characters
"In heaven all the interesting
people are missing"
Stella: ?
Age: 24
Weapon: Sword
Our story's hero!
Ecce is a 24 year-old, homeless scallywag.
He's a rogue, spending quite some time on planing the "great coup" to finally get rid of his lack of money.
In the meantime he makes a living of robbing smaller stores or ripping off people.
As he gets to know about the king of Kanaah searching for a mysterious treasure, he smells a big chance for money.
Together with his girlfriend Ellis he heads off to get a hold on this treasure - and succeeds!
But unfortunately he didn't take Fried's resistance into account...
So now's on flight, trying to escape Fried's wrath, but unfortunately he lacks a perfect hideout, for he's being searched for across the whole country, and there's a nice bounty on his head. A pretty miserable situation to be in, for our protagonist...
The icing on his misery: the "treasure" does not look exactly valuable, just a small box, resisting any attempt to open it.
Ecce wasn't born under any specific "Stella" (see "game's system". Rather uncommon, but he's not alone with this characteristic, sometimes even turning into a kind of advantage, for he's able to learn a broad range of abilities, making him a tough fighter.
Even though he likes to rip people off at times, he's still a valuable and reliable friend.
He doesn't like talking about his past background since he left his parents' house three years ago in conflict.
But now he doesn't see any way out as to hide at his parents and ask them for advice.
So he's on his way home with Ellis...
___________________________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________________
Stella: Virgo
Age: 22
Weapon: Daggers
Ellis is Ecce's girlfriend for now two years.
Together they lived through many adventures and went through good and bad times.
If it were for her, this wouldn't have to change at all. In contrast to Ecce, she enjoys their "strayer's" life.
Ellis is a friendly and helpful girl. This may stand in contrast to the wild and rough life she lives, but still she knows to value good deeds and knows how to make people smile.
Her worst trait might be her jealousness, she just can't stand Ecce talking to other women...
Well, and she's quite moody, making her hard to handle for most people...
She and Ecce know each other since childhood, for they grew up in the same town. When Ecce decided to leave his home, she didn't hesitate to follow him, and would now follow him even into death.

Stella: Sagittarius
Age: 36
Weapons: Pistols
Shaw is a beforehand-retired bounty hunter and has mastered the handling of pistols.
He's following Ecce for some time now to finally end his theft.
Although Shaw had hundreds of possible chances to get a hold of Ecce, the rouge either managed to escape, or Shaw let him - for reasons unkown - escape.
Apparently both of them got used to their game of "cat and mouse", and in regard on this, Ellis even calls them "Tom & Jerry".
One day, Shaw got into serious trouble, but got saved saved by Ecce...
Since then, he wants to accompany Ecce on his way home and protect him against Fried.
But this might as well just be some kind of pretext... He's even more interested in the box Ecce and Ellis have stolen. Maybe he knows something about this mysterious chest?
He even seems to know Fried for quite some time...
Shaw is pretty cynical and likes extensive talks. He's strong but educated, and it often seems difficult to match him to any stereotype... But when danger arises, he's always reliable.

Stella: Aries
Age: 27
Weapon: Staff/bow
Francy is an all through mysterious person...
She seems to be inable to speak, rendering her past background unkown.
Ecce & co meet Francy on her way through a city.
With no apparent reason she clasps to Ellis and has since then not shown any inclination to move off of her side.
Since she's a good fighter, the group takes her with them.
It is not known which role she might play for the story...

Stella: Taurus
Age: 45
Weapon: Sword
Fried is the first general of the crown of Kanaah.
He decided to follow Ecce until he's caught him and finally will be able to clean his reputation.
Fried is somebody you should better not mess with...
___________________________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________________
Stella: Cancer
Age: 22
Weapon: Spear
Lou is the first son of the king of Kanaah and therefore heir apparent.
He's a friendly and educated person, who fled his royal duties early to see the world and make journeys to discover new things.
But since he's able to thing, he's being watched after by Fried. Of course he'd like to change this fact, and Fried - although not privileged to choose - thinks similar.
Lou has always been a friend of the common people and is respected by all of the kingdom's citizens.
So naturally, the turmoil is rather great as he suddenly disappears...

Stella: Leo
Age: 20
Weapon: -
Savers is a young bookkeeper, who dreams of someday becoming an author.
As he hears about Ecce, he decides to follow hom to write his experiences down.
Maybe a novel about a country-wide searched-for criminal might lead to his great break-through?
Savers is the game's saving point, you'll be able to find him at many locations where he'll provide the service of saving your game's progress.
As the game progresses, he might have even more interesting services, like healing your party, a shop, or statistics.

Stella: Virgo
Age: 52
Weapon: -
Avadan is the founder of the "Red Lions" organisation.
As he helps Ecce out of some trouble, he makes him becoming a Red Lions member.
Avadan's codex tells him to help every person in need, independent of what he/she might have done.
He provides Red Lions members as bodyguards, helping you in battles.
So you always should visit his head quarter when looking for new party members or quests.
Avadan might look grumpy, but his heart is made of gold

Stella: Pisces
Age: 40
Weapon: Bow
Travolta is Avadan's "right hand" and co-founder of the "Red Lions".
He's a friendly dude, but supposedly rather crazy...
Travolta is the first Zodiac Warrior who might join your party.

System
"Be careful when you fight the monsters,
lest you become one"
Short introduction
"Ãœbermensch" is basically an RPG like every RPG else.
You travel through cities, dungeons, solve quests, mini games and fight glorious battles against your enemies.
These monsters are visible on-map, making it possible to avoid unnecessay fights.
Battles are fought using the RPG Tankentai sideview system.
Nevertheless we'll take care to bring variety into your everyday RPG life!

Stella
"Stellae" reflect the zodiac a person is born under in the world of Aleysia.
Each Stella gives different abilities. For example, people born Aquarius have exclusive skills, are immune to poison, or might wear special gear/items.
But the most important aspect is the dominance over another Stella! Because just like human beings, your enemies are also protected by the power of the stars.
Basically, Stellae are very similiar to "elements" you might know from other games (Fire wins against ice...).
A list to make it clear:
Aquarius - Pisces - Aries - Taurus - Gemini - Cancer - Leo - Virgo - Libra - Scorpius - Sagittarius - Capricornus - Aquarius
Example of damage calculation:
Aquarius vs Aquarius = 100% damage
Aquarius vs Pisces = 200% damage
Aquarius vs Capricornus = 0% damage
So there are 12 Stellae, and each one "wins" against the following one. Might seem confusing, but it's an easy to solve calculation using the list above or your favourite zodiac-aware calender!
Only having four characters in every fight, you might not be able to fight effectively against every enemy, you may think. But be aware - utilizing some basic strategies, your chances look way better:
-Ecce has no spefic Stella and therefore inflicts the same amount of damage on every enemy!
He's also able to learn skills being bound to any Stella!
-As soon as you're able to recruit warriors ingame, you should adapt your party to the respective dungeon!
With a Leo party, it's dead easy to cause havoc in some lame Virgo territory!
More on this regard, ingame...

Zodiac Warriors
Zodiac Warriors are fighters you are able to recruit in the headquarter or in different "Red Lion" outposts. You take the Zodiac Warrior of your choice from a list, and pay for him.
From then on he's a member of your party (but might be exchanged at any point). As the game progresses, new Warriors become available.
This way you'll be able to adapt to any situation when need arises, and about endgame you'll be able to choose from a list of 30 sturdy Zodiac Warriors.

Screenshots
"There is always some madness in love.
But there is also always some reason in madness"
So, thats it!^^
A demo will be released very soon!
I would appreciate your feedback!^^
Oh, and thx to GreyHat for the translation!
(He will translate the game too!^^)
Greatings,
IronDuke
It's just the initiation! You will learn more about the plot in the game! Hm, about the stella... You can make battles easier, thats true! But if you encounter a group of, for example, 6 monsters each with other stellas, you cant have an advantage to all of them! xD" And you have to recruit the zodiac warriors first! If you dont have them, you'll may be screwed! :D Oh, but if the game should be to hard, you allways can change the difficulty to easy mode!^^
