Axis Saga - The Angelic Demon

[Skie Fortress]

I'm on the verge of releasing a demo of my side project Axis Saga, I wasn't going to bother here, but I figure I'll give it a try. Anyways on with the topic.



Story

This is just a story I've been tinkering with, It takes place in the same world and the same time as Mystic Legends.

In present times, there was earth, home to Humankind, Eltians; the longeared fanged people, and Lycanthropes, special humans gifted with the ability to change form in the night. Hidden from earth were two realms, Monervera, the realm of Angels and the Ixtanel, home to demons. Angels and Demons, had a long established, yet shaky peace treaty. A single event would crush this already crumbling treaty. A halfling was born. Half angel, half demon. For an Angel and a Demon to conceive a child was the most vile sin that could be committed. War broke out. The Devil Lord, Feaj led the demons to battle, and the Arch-Seraph Anna led the Angels. The angelic demon was taken to the safety of earth to live a normal life, away from the angels and demons who would never accept her. Her name is Rasya.

17 years later, Rasya discovers her origins through an unexpected event and learns of the secret war that has been waged since her birth. After countless acts of aggression against her, she then decides to travel to the two realms with the hopes of stopping this war and bringing harmony to Angels and Demons.

Playable Characters

Name - Rasya
Weapon - Spear, Holy/Healing/Thunder Ether
Age: 21
Race - Angel/Demon halfling
A halfling of angelic and demonic descent. She was taken to earth by someone unknown to her. Maybe her parents, a friend of her parents? She was raised on earth and has no clue of her origins or the secret war being waged. She has a generally upbeat personality and is a bit of a tomboy...a bit. Watch out though, although she may seem upbeat and hyper, once angered, she's a force to be reckoned with. Angry Rasya + Sharp object = RIP, just ask Keros, he'd know.

Name - Keros
Weapon - Broad Sword
Age:23
Race - Eltian
A silent and serious young man. He found Rasya when he was younger. His mom and dad raised both of them and he considers her a sister more than anything else. Keros may appear as cold and unfeeling, but he's actually quite....how would it be put...sociable, once you stop being scared of him.

Name - Matthew
Weapon - Small Sword & Gun
Age: 16
Race - Human
A brash and arrogant young man heading down the wrong path. After events involving Rasya and himself, he reforms...somewhat.

Name - Cyllya
Weapon - Kodachi
Age: 20
Race - 3/4ths Human and 1/4th Dragon Lycan
An energtic young woman working as a spy for Magdelina. She gets an assignment that involves watching over Rasya and joins her. She's very skilled, but her bright personality would never hint to that.

Name - Zhyr
Weapon - His claws and a bow
Age - 18
Race - Wolf Lycan
A wolf lycanthrope, he is VERY egotistical and thinks that nothing can beat him. He hate's the Vaneer continent and wants to leave to see the world. He's skilled with his claws and bows, so while he may be an egotistical asshat, he at least has some skill to back it up.

Name - Chaos
Weapon - Demonic Sabre
Age: 321
Race - Demon
A demon lord who wants to find Rasya. Being a demon, his intentions can only be evil...

Name - Claire
Weapon - Rapier and Bow
Age: 256
Race - Angel
A powerful angel exceeded only by the Arch Seraph herself. She leaves Monervera in search of Rasya. However she doesn't seem to hold any malice in doing so. She's highly clumsy and airheaded so no one takes her seriously. Though, that just may be her biggest advantage.

Non Player Characters

Feaj - The Devil Lord and ruler of Ixtanel. He seems to be enjoying himself in this war, although he isn't nearly as evil as he makes himself out to be.

Anna - Ruler of Monervera and the strongest angel. She's strict, but kind. She doesn't appreciate Rasya's existence, but she can put up with it...for now.

Magdelina - The opposite of Goddess Guardia and the protector of the universe. She's...an amusing figure and although she carries such a large burden, she would rather fool around and have fun rather than do the protecting she supposed to be doing. However when things get serious, she will be there.

Goddess Guardia - A mysterious Goddess that Leon's crew seem to be looking for. This Goddess also has a religion based on worshiping her that has gained worldwide influence. Non believer see it as a brainwashing cult.

The Mystic Legends crew - Yeah you'll run into them a few times. It seems that they're on a quest too...

Lucrevia - A lycanthrope and an enigma, Both Rasya's, Leon's, and Mai's groups will run into her a few times. No one knows her intentions...

Features

Random Touch Encounter System - You'll be able to see enemies on the map but when you collide with them anything ranging from a normal battle to a surprise attack can happen so while you can dodge field enemies, after that it's all up to chance once a battle starts. The best of both worlds eh?[/bastardness]

Outburst(formerly Etherion. Was renamed to fit with the unfortunate Angelic Awakening) - The innate ability of all living being. If this ability is left untrained then it comes out uncontrollably during times of great danger, but if it is harnessed then one will become strong. build up etherion by attacking. the face gauge determines your etherion status. At 3 attacks etherion becomes available.

Ether(formerly Magi, renamed to fit with ML) - The sister ability of Outburst. Is the most widely and easily harnessed ability. Focus your energy and pinpoint a target to draw it's energy. Use that energy to do various things in battle.

Sorcery - The 2nd tier of Magical energy. Use your Ether enough and it will evolve into Sorcery. Use this time to draw even greater amounts of energy from your foes and cast stronger spells and support abilities This system's been cancelled for being inferior and buggy.

Ethereal & Physical Strike stacking - When you use the Slash/Thrust/Claw/Etc and the Ether commands the amount of times the chosen command hits varies, doing either one to three hits. The chances are based off the number six. You have a three out of six chance of hitting once, a two out of six chance of hitting twice, and a one out of six chance of hitting three times.

Judgment - At random intervals, the gods will look down upon your battle and give you a reward for your hard work. You can choose from healing, powerups, enemy destructions, and items
