Umoto

[umoto]

this is my first game and boy i could use some help
Here's my storyline, and once i figure out how to take screen shots i'll post some...
any and all ideas will be taken into consideration!


Umoto wakes up in Bent Wood (oh shut up perverts!) with partial amnesia. while searching through the woods for a way out he encounters a girl about his age, Helga. she looks normal enough until a pack of monsters attacks them. She pulls out her sword and they kill off the enemies, in the town of Bent she reveals that she works for Mother Earth directly, in return Mother Earth, also known as Fuuha sees that her needs are met. Umoto decides to join her, and meets Edgar, a boy also around his age. Edgar who is fiercly competitive, Edgar challenges Umoto to a fight after giving him a new oak staff. Umoto soundly beats Edgar into the ground.  He is lead to his new home, a training ground and lodge, in the middle of nowhere, the only way in and out is by a portal that only opens up for them.

the next day they are sent into the caverns around Bent to stop Rafael, a necromancer, in his attempts to poison the land and turn the people of bent into zombies. they rush into the caverns and are stopped by a huge ice formation, unnatural, very... Umoto reveals his fire spell to melt the ice, something he hid from everyone. once in the end of the cave they are met by Feng and Shu, twin assassins hired by the Raphael to kill all who enter the cave. after the 3 children kill Feng and Shu they take on Raphael. Umoto basically torches him...

after they return home, Umoto, worried that he might be seen differenly now that they know he can use magic, runs into Kako forest, and into the hands of a demon.... after a while of fighting a man critically injures the demon and chases it off. He is Darien, the best mage that ever lived. Fuuha sent Darien to take Umoto, because Umoto's power exceeds his knowledge and experience.

Darien takes Umoto back to the lodge just long enough to say goodbye before he leaves to train. At Darien's home he meets Bonbalan, Darien's son. they train and grow up together... yadda yadda yadda...

12 years pass and Umoto is a grown man. he and Bonbalan set out to solve the mystery behind the people that are disappearing in the nearby towns. What happends next? well, all will be revealed in time.

Not a bad story.

To take screenshots, use the PrintScreen button on your keyboard.

[Darkfox]

Alt+PrintScreen so you don't take a darn screenshot of everything else! Remember it's alt+screenshot to copy a single window, Printscreen to take a screenshot of the whole screen.

small update, a screenshot and more storyline....

the people were taken by a dragon who kidnapped them for nothing else but for a good laugh....

oh yeah, a little background info would be nice....

Umoto
Age 5/18
Class: Mage
Umoto is a rather average person, until circumstances call for a hero, then he stands tall with a big stick and powerful magic. Though he has the capacity to do much more damage, Umoto holds back his power in fear that he may lose control of his abilities and cause all hell to break loose. This often causes him to seperate himself from others. He often finds himself thinking about his family and where they could be.

Helga
Age 5/18
Class:Naturalistic Fighter
Helga's parents were killed when she was an infant. raised by Fuuha, she cuts down those who seek to do the world harm. She never holds back and seeks to bring down enemies with well placed strikes in vital points (giving her increased critical %) Her knowledge of plants and herbs allows her to administer first aid to allies and keep them going.

Edgar
Class: Spear Warrior (yes its just a coincidence!)
Age: 6/19
Edgar was abandoned by his father near a river when he was a day old. Also raised by Fuuha, he learned to use a spear with great effect. He cares nothing for herbs or magic, instead he relies on his armor to keep him safe. He patiently waits for the day when he can meet his father, so he can clobber him good for leaving him by the river!

Bonbalan
Age: 17
Class: Fighting Enchanter
Bonbalan's mother died giving birth to him so he was raised by his father. Though his father taught him the ways of the mage, he was more adept with short blased and enchantry. Though he is not a true mage his father is still proud. Bonbalan prefers to weaken the enemy with magic before he strikes them down with his sword. in a pinch he can also make himself and his allies more powerful.

Dave
Age: 20
Class: Healer (for lack of a better name)
Though he is not an orphan he still works for Fuuha. He prefers to aid allies over harming enemies. He was born with healing powers, and was shunned by his village and disowned by his family when he was 17. He travelled all over the world healing the sick and injured to make ends meet until he met Helga and Edgar and decided to follow them, much to Edgar's disgust.
