[VX] Tales of Shusui ~ A Middle Story ~

After thinking for awhile, I felt like I wanted to create a new story that would be able to fit into a game. I have tried to do so with RPGXP 1-2 years before but I couldn't stay onto one project long enough.

This storyline may be a big cliche, tell me if it is. If you would like, please propose appropriate suggestions that will improve the storyline.

Tales of Shusui ~ A Middle Story ~

Storyline - Intro
   
    For many years, Shusui, now fourteen was raised by the four revered spirits of the land. It was a peaceful day. The spirit, Nanami asked Shusui to buy food from the nearby town so that she could cook for him. Shusui enters the town only to find it seemingly deserted. A man shouts that the village chief is dead and Shusui runs up to the source of the shouting. Upon entering the dark room, Shusui finds a body of a dead old man. His back was stabbed with a pattern that showed the name 'Kyou'. Kyou was known as the most feared assassin across the three continents of Aias, Noxus and Eurum. The chief's daughter tries to escape reality and tries to deny her father's death. Meanwhile, Shusui recognizes the stabbings and starts to remember a dark memory of his village in Noxus. Shusui runs towards the exit of the building and hits his head onto a wooden wall. Shusui then falls unconcious. Once Shusui awakened from his slumber, he notices Nanami staring at him intently.

    Nanami had a meeting with the three other spirits and was told that the four spirits had to defend the village in case Kyou came again. With this, Shusui had noone to take care of him. Because of this, the spirits traveled to the village in order to find a person who would take him in. If he were to be taken in by a person in the village, the spirits could watch over him, as they were protecting the village. Unfortunately, noone in the village took him in. The spirits and a villager discussed that Shusui should live in the barracks east of the village. This was also considered a positive action because the former chief's daughter, Rika, was traveling to the same barracks. Nanami gave a letter of recommendation to Shusui and told him to deliver it to the personnel in the barracks. Shusui travels to the desert jungle in order to go to the barracks and meets Rika having trouble fighting a monster along the way. Shusui and Rika defeat the monster and they continue to travel to the barracks.

Characters:

Shusui
Cooperative with others and indecisive at times. Always keeps his errands before his own needs. In the beginning of the story, he is lives with four spirits in the continent of Aias. Originally born in the continent of Noxus.

Rika
A kind girl. Her father died by a fearsome assassin. Has a good sense of reality though she sometimes loses control over this sense when something tragic happens. Her father was the chief of a village within a small forest on the continent of Aias.

Nanami
The spirit of water that is the main caretaker of Shusui at the beginning of the story. Nanami acts kind and motherly towards Shusui, always concerned about his health. Her past is unknown to Shusui. Why does Shusui accept Nanami? Shusui subconciously feels that Nanami is a 'replacement' for his real deceased mother.

FAQ


Q: Why 'Middle Story' is in the title?
A: This game will be connected to other games. Such as a game based on a different character within Tales of Shusui. These games may take place before or after this game.

Such as if a character named 'Rika' makes an appearance and is an important part in the game's plot, I may make a game about her that shows what happens to her after Tales of Shusui. The game may then be called Tales of Rika ~ An After Story.

Oh god, no. I know some people aren't good at mapping, especially with the limitations that VX poses on it's mappers, but your story is an abomination. I can understand cliches, everybody uses them, but you're just throwing out three of the most often used cliches, and asking us which you should use. Um, none of them? Also, why do spirits need food? Uh...and to answer your question, yes, you can use music from other games, as long as you credit where necessary, and your game isn't shareware.
 
Umm C, and umm Forgetting is a bad part of the story. He was 10 when his parents die then he forgets... Does he have Alzheimers?

Sure, he has Alzheimers.

He was actually put into a shock/deny kind of state. Forget all the bad things, etc.

The time gap is for the 'Before' games.

Thanks for the comments. Now to change the story...

Story modified substantially.
 
._.

EDIT: Oh, by that I meant, you only made it worse, and you're not writing in proper paragraphs. It seems like your mind is all over the place. Pick a theme and stick with it.
