A charas project community game?

[Shady Ultima]

The problem is, this is from the previous game. I don't think I HAVE the document anymore of what the actual story was. But I recall there was some genocide thing with the sorcerers...

[DedlellyDeth]

That's too predictable
I say the General is evil, and sent assassins into the other kingdoms so he can absorb them, or something

That's what I meant. That would be the cliche path. But anything else is a bit fantastic.

Seeing this as a sequel... eeurgh.

Are you sure this should be a sequel? There could be much more openness in the game and possibly therefore involvement from Charas members.

[fruckert]

Hmm...guess we'll have to make due with what he have, then
I'll try to brainstorm tomorrow and send the ideas to the rest of the writers team...right now I'm tired and cranky, so writing would not be a good idea

EDIT:

That's what I meant. That would be the cliche path. But anything else is a bit fantastic.

You really need to fix your sarcasm, it's very inobvious

The way we had it, the general/chars father wasn't evil at all. He had eliminated all the sorcerers on the emperor's command.

AH! I remember. The actual villain was a sorcerer who had survived the genocide. He was the girl, who the main character rescues, father, and he is the bad guy, which causes a lot of strife, because the main char falls in love with the girl.


@Dedlelly, it's not a sequel. That game was never finished, and thus, we're still trying to make it. The idea was to make this a quick demo of the game, then continue it and the second part was what we mentioned as a 'sequel'

[HackersTotalMassLaser]

He was the girl o.O

[Prpl_Mage]

The actual villain was a sorcerer who had survived the genocide. He was the girl, who the main character rescues, father, and he is the bad guy, which causes a lot of strife, because the main char falls in love with the girl.

I like that.
Intercourse/incest with a plot twist of homosexuality and creepyness.

[Shady Ultima]

How is it incest?

The girl's dad, hates the main character's dad, and she loves the main character, and doesn't know who's side to choose. It creates a bit of an internal drama for her.

[Prpl_Mage]

AH! I remember. The actual villain was a sorcerer who had survived the genocide. He was the girl's(who the main character rescues) father, and he is the bad guy, which causes a lot of strife, because the main char falls in love with the girl.

Okay, now it makes a lot more sense.
You made it sound like he was a sorcerer, the girl and the protagonists father.

[HackersTotalMassLaser]

total mind blower.

I dont really get the "who the main character rescues, father" part tho, who's father

Edit: Oooh

i thought the girl was really a guy who was a father of someone.

[Shady Ultima]

That was just bad typing on my part. I haven't slept yet, so I'm allowed to type stupidly.

[Prpl_Mage]

And we are allowed to make fun of it... right?

Anyway, I leave the story in you storywriters' hands. I believe in ye' guys.

[Shady Ultima]

Well, we have our foundation, now, we can come up with ideas from there on, and start thinking about how characters look and such.

[HackersTotalMassLaser]

Doing so.

Emperor
General
General's Son
Mystic Maiden
Villain Sorcerer

Is what I got now.

[Shady Ultima]

I'll start work on the CMS. It's going to be heavily influenced by the N64 Zelda games (the whole spinning around thing)

I also plan on using the same system in my own game, but that shouldn't matter to anyone I hope..

(btw KM, did you like my game?)

Alright, I found the whole story that we had written out:

The empire was always a dominant force in the world, conquering nations and spreading its influence across the continent. It was ruled by an ambitious emperor who destroyed anyone who had opposed him. His fears of outside forces lead him to a small nation of magic users.

The emperor ordered the extermination of the sorcerers. Many were brutally slaughtered. The only survivors were a lone sorcerer, and an orphaned little girl.

The sorcerer took the girl as his own. He swore revenge against the empire, and tried to teach the girl to hate it as well. The emperor's ambitions had affected many, including those in his residence.

The emperor was paranoid, and lonely. He gave vast amounts of power to those who would be his friends, including the general. Despite the emperor's oddities, the two became true friends.

In gratitude, the general gave his daughter to the emperor as his queen. He believed she would live a wealthy, and sheltered life. This was not the case.

The queen's presence was enough to cure the emperor's loneliness, but not his paranoia. The emperor was very possessive of his new queen, not letting her leave the palace. The queen's father began to notice his daughter's dwindling health but did not question it.

With the queen's failing health, she was unable to deliver a child and died in the process. The emperor fell into despair, knowing that there was no one to continue his name. The general, knowing the real cause of the queen's death, was filled with tension towards the emperor.

After losing his queen, the emperor ended his ambitions of conquest. He instead sought for peace with unconquered nations instead of domination. He eventually met with a noble relative from the Southern Continent.

On the surface, the two were allies. The nobleman actually had wanted the empire for himself. As the emperor once was, the nobleman desired power.

Burning with rage over his daughter's death, the emperor's general formed an alliance with the nobleman. They were to kill the emperor and have the general take his place. Everything was set for the emperor's coup d'état until something unexpected had happened.

The emperor was murdered, and not by the command of  the the general nor the nobleman. The emperor was very well protected, yet was ripped to shreds. No one in the empire truly knew who did it or how, and it caused a rift between the two rulers.

The murderer was, in fact, the sorcerer. He yearned for the destruction of the empire. Disgusted with her father's actions the sorcerer's adopted daughter ran away.

The general was entitled to the empire, which stirred a ruckus with the citizens. Many underground rebellions were formed against him in suspicion. This unplanned attack on the first emperor caused a cold war between the two nations.

Despite the sorcerer's violent behavior, he had an unconditional love for his child. Overprotective and unable to trust anyone, he cursed those she had come to love. Anyone who cared for her in return would suffer.

*Beginning of Game
This cycle of torment would continue until one fateful day. When being attacked by a group of rogue, she is saved by a young man. The young man risked his life to save her.

As did any other man, he suffered. However, he did not die. The man was kept alive for a reason unknown to her.

The young man was actually the general's second child and then heir to the emperor's house. Like his father, the boy was militant. He spent his time on missions putting down insurgents to his father's empire.

The sorcerer considered using the boy for his plans. The boy was the sole heir, and had access to the emperor himself. The boy could at his eyes, his ears, and at times his weapon.

The girl stayed with the young man, trying to decipher her father's motives. The boy would experience nightmares depicting the sorcerer's memories. The girl cared for the young man, and soon began to love him.

The two had first traveled to the empire to meet the emperor. The young man had a dream detailing the original emperor's murder. He wanted to warn his father, not knowing of his father's original plans ideas.

The young man was not able to see his father. The southern nobleman had launched an attack on the empire and began to advance. Despite more nightmares, the young man traveled to the southern continent eager to prove himself in battle.

The young man reached the southern continent and was shocked to discover its city leveled. The nobleman was dead. It is at this time that the sorcerer and the boy had met face to face.

The sorcerer, using the young boy's body, annihilates the empire's armies. The young man  holds no memories of his actions, and journeys back towards the empire. The boy does not realize the sorcerer's grand scheme.

It was the ultimate revenge. The emperor's son was rumored to be a demon, slaughtering members of both nations. This would cause the citizens of the empire to not trust the emperor.

Morale would already be low, for many of the soldiers in both armies were dead. The rebels would attack the empire in its weakened state. The only one who would see the young heir would be the emperor himself.

After much travel, the emperor's son would finally see his father. When he does see him, the nightmares come back. The boy murders his father.

The sorcerer reveals himself for the last time. He only has to make the boy commit suicide. The empire would fall.

In an effort to save the young man, the sorcerer's daughter sacrifices herself. The hero is now free from the sorcerer's control. The two exchange blades in a final clash to the death.

The sorcerer is defeated, realizing that his actions caused him to lose the one thing he loved. The young man looks onward knowing that he lost everything. He is now the emperor of a fallen empire.
