"Sophia givespower unto those who don't deserve it. Why? To teach them a valuable lesson and to teach them respect."

Yes, I had an old thread of a game with the same name. I've kept the name because it is pretty much the same game only further in the future.

{Backstory}-----
During the great american rush and the journey of Columbus' fleet of ships, one tiny ship got seperated from the others during a great storm. The ship crashed on an island south of the Caribbean. here, the settlers lived on the strange vegetation, which apparently, had adverse effects on the settlers. They discovered they could begin to lift heavier and heavier objects, fire air out of their palms, and had the keenest of eyes. They managed to live up to this day and widely populate the island they called Ransna. Their skills developed and sunk into their daily lives. These three abilities were clearly divided as Combat, Magic, and Range.

They were very peaceful, until a group of Monks formed claiming that an unholy mage would rise and destroy nearly everything in his path. Meanwhile, a group of three brothers defended the cities from animals whom had consumed the vegetation. One soldier felt underappreciated and seperated himself from his brothers. He then grew powerful due to a god whom had visited him. His name was Ace and was beaten by a twenty year old man known as Georg.


{{{{PART ONE OF THREE}}}}
{Story}-----
"Nineteen years have gone by. I have to hurry. If I don't find those children, Ace will regain full power and full form. He'll surely destroy Ransna if he ever finds them first. How could I have been so stupid! It was clearly in the textbook. It also explains... 'the incident.'"

Georg just recently found a text that explains Ace's rise to power every  twenty years. He recovers the three and decides to train them to prevent Ace from getting to them.

{Characters}-----

Georg- Ransna's saviour. Defeated Ace nineteen years ago. He must find the three children whom Ace had infested and seal Ace's power inside of them.

Miko- Very active and willing to follow orders perfectly. He is very intelligent and able to adapt to surrounding problems.

Nemi- Lived in the forest all of her life and knows a thing or two about survival without rations.

Dirk- A depressed child whom had lost his girlfriend to a maniac three years before. He is very suicidal and treats life as though he is meant to die.

Ace- The evil of Ransna. Ex- serious soldier. Ace takes pleasure in other people's pain. He also seeks his real son, Roy.

Rose- Dirk's dead girlfriend.


{{{PART TWO OF THREE}}}}
{Story}-----
Thethree move up in the world after Dirk's betrayals. A fellow student accuses Dirk of homosexuality, leading to a fight, in which Dirk uses magic. Their regular schools could no longer keep them without the fear of them using their abilities. They are transferred to a guild called Bernard's Sacrifice. There they must learn to use their skills to defeat everyone else in the guild, including Georg. Meanwhile, Ace's past catches up with him as a new evil arises from beyond our world.

{Characters}-----
Animal- A creepy little henchman of Rock. Can barely speak English , as his stroy is similar to Nemi's.

Ace- After repaying his debt to society by repairing the town he destroyed, he becomes the tutor for three new students at the guild as well: Roy, Animal, and Sophie.

Roy- Master of air spells, along with the ability to hide in the air, Roy is always looking for a challenge and proves to be Miko's equal.

Rock- Selfish and has high opinion of himself. Rock believes that because he learned magic from a book, he is better than the others.

Martin- A Ransnian who believes Dirk is gay. Unfortunately, he joins the fight against "the children of the beast."

Sunjin- Rock's older brother. Very secretive and, like Roy, is willing to take on any challenge. He is known for having the ability to turn his enemy into a living puppet without moving a single inch.

{{{PART THREE OF THREE}}}
{Story}-----
"There's a new tutor at the guild. His name is Harrah. Something seems odd about this guy. Every assignment he has us doing involves getting Dirk closer to death. Just when things were getting good too. Georg finally freed Rose from her own death. To top off this end ofthe year, finals are coming up. Only five will receive the guild's recognition as a warrior, and what's about this game of tag? I've never played a game of tag like this."

{Characters}-----
George- A student of the west wing. Not much is known about him. He is always wearing a sweater, even in summer. It might have something to do with his snowman spell.

Sophie- The youngest at the guild at the age of six, yet she is as eo as one can get. She always has drooped eyelids and speaks as though the world will end tomorrow. She is a master of counters, so any attack on her is pretty much useless. She has no family except for her brother, who shewas taken away from when the demon attacked her family.

Rai- yet another master of air spells whose past is one that is very bleak and depressing. Although she maintains cheerfulness despite being molested at seven.

sounds complex....

I would suggest looking up some pics of animals and trying to capture those poses in a sprite set.  Just some food for thought.

Good idea, I'll try it.

If it was Columbus's ships, headed to America, then they would be leaving from Spain. Hawaii is not in the Atlantic ocean and the Panama canal wasn't yet built. My question to you is, How does a storm carry a small ship thousands of miles across continental US?

A wizard did it.


Anyway, it needs a few tweaks here and there, but other than that, sounds interesting.

Glad I could help

[Bluhman]

Maybe it was a REAAAALY big storm?

[X_marks_the_ed]

KICKED Because I finally recovered the resources after McAffee deleted them.  

So, Goody for me, I can kick this topic. So, I will continue construction on Chapter one.

ON-topic: BACKSTORY FIXED!

[I Have a Sandwich]

Why would the survivors of a spanish fleet name an island Ransna?Why wouldnt it be spanish or something?

Please don't categorize them as attack, magic, and ranged. They can all be used as attacks,somehow, they're all technically magical, and they're all ranged at some interval. The types sound really cliche and staged.

[X_marks_the_ed]

Yes, bumped, again. I will be doing more work on it. However, don't expect a demo for a while (like you would even want to play the demo).  I have another sudden spark of interest in it again. But only part two at the moment. Info on part two will be posted shortly. I am losing interest as I cannot reallywork with it until I can use DragonBlaze's CBS. He seems to be gone, though, so I'll be working on talking sequences and quests until I can merge DB's CBS into it with RMerger.

Yes, they can all be used as attacks. That's the point. You don't just stick to one type. You combine them into your own fighting styles. For example, your speed would give you a high advantage in combat, however, with your speed you can easily perform several spells at once. A long range would give your spells and punches more accuracy.

I agree, they are cliche, but I'd like to see you try to come up with types that are original and fit into the plot.
