Plot-Synopsis
  Yoshi is a 16 year old high school student with everything he wouldn't want: parents who argue all the time, a bully that will never leave him in peace, a best friend who is nothing like him, failure at schoolwork and sports, and is in love with a girl who doesn't know he exists.
  Yoshi lives a somewhat empty existence. He doesn't specialize in anything and has no goals. He would be best described as a dreamer. Every day is the same if not similar to him: go to school or just stay home and read. He doesn't particularly dislike life; he just doesn't enjoy it.
  One day while walking home from school alone, he gets into a fatal accident of some sort which hospitalizes him. He can't remember how it happened, and dies in bed at the hospital due to blood loss. He has an out of body experiance and sees the hospital staff trying to resusitate him. While trying to figure out what's happening, he sees a darkly-cloaked figure next to him. The figure proceeds to tell Yoshi that he is a death deity who was there to take Yoshi to the afterlife. Yoshi rejects, saying he isn't ready to die yet. The death deity tells Yoshi that he may have a second chance, but at a price. The deity tells Yoshi that his death was the first in a string of murders that were to occur in his hometown, and most of the targets would be people Yoshi was close to. If Yoshi could find the killer in time and prevent the last death, Yoshi could stay alive. If he were to fail although, he would lose his life again. Yoshi looks at his body trying to be saved, and feels he has no choice but to agree.
  And with that, Yoshi's empty existance has become meaningful. Forced to walk this dangerous path just to stay alive, and to keep those close to him alive. What difficulties will he encounter in fighting fate?

Characters
Yoshi

Akio
 Age: 16
 Gender: Male
 Description: Extroverted, interpersonal, athletic, creative
Yoshi's best friend. They usually don't get along, but since they're both outcasts it gives them enough reason to hang out with each other. Akio enjoys making jokes which are not funny and usually unfitting to any situation.
Aiko
 Age: 15
 Gender: Female
 Description: Extroverted, interpersonal, passionate, creative
Akio's little sister and almost complete opposite to him. She tries to watch over Akio and Yoshi so they don't get into more trouble then they normally do.
Hatsu

 Description: Extroverted, interpersonal, hot-headed, logical
Locally known bully and thug, Hatsu acts spontaneously doing whatever he wants. To him life is nothing but a game to be played. Hatsu often bullies and messes with Akio and Yoshi.

Final Notes:
  I am looking for help with the project. If you are not a noob with RMVX and you are looking for a project, PM me on what you can do. The more the merrier.
  Also for those who would inquire, this game is supposed to be like a japanese game made in english. Instead of speaking or writing japanese, it's in english. The culture is, however, japanese.
*** UPDATES ***

1-12-2009 - Fixed up the thread. Nothing special though.
8/12/2008 - Two months later and I finally update... My mapping improved and I have a mapper which is helping me, although he won't be able to help me much anymore.
6/27/2008 - First post edited to look better. Not too much different though.
6/13/2008 - DEMO UP!!! (6/27 Temporarily removed)
6/12/2008 - Axerax's void logo up.
6/8/2008 - Some enemies can now shoot fireballs, and somewhat get in position from far away just to shoot at you. (I've got to make some sort of progress bar, but the combat system is like 40% complete.)

       - Currently there is a somewhat effective jumping system, attack change system, 4 current attacks, some enemies can jump too or sprint. Still trying to make enemies able to shoot or teleport but it won't be easy.
