Heh heh heh. I wanna design a sidequest. Can I please please please?

Also, isn't there gonna be more than one character? RPGs are fun because of the interaction between characters. I'll do character ideas if you so wish.

I can't do graphics because I'm supposed to be helping out with 'Lands of Lunori'. Unles you really need them. Then I will because I'm a sentimental fool.

[Robotam]

Tomi:
He looks good, but could you detail him a little?
He looks a little ordinary for a hero, but else it was good, keep it up.

MooseT:
Of course there is going to be more than one.
And sure you can help with ideas, that'd be great.

And as you can see or situation can't get much worse, so I need your graphics more than ever.
I don't wish to interrupt your Lands of Lunori works but charas needs the community contest game.
So if you can help with graphcis, please do.
100% custom!

Title of the Game: Faded Reality
Genre: Classic RPG(so as to not spoil it)

THE BELOW CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR WHAT COULD BE THE FINAL PRODUCT, ONLY LOOK AHEAD IF YOU WANT TO WORK ON THE GAME OR DON'T CARE ABOUT RUINING THE STORYLINE.

Setting: Cliche RPG world, but a bit more technologically advanced, like it's on the verge of an industrial revolution that could be fuled by Tark's steam engine. Guns are rising in popularity, although still sparsely used, and even though Tark invented the gun, others refined it to create better ones, hence why he's not some sort of super rich inventor. Anywho, towns live on trade or are self sufficient, with a few sprawling centers of commerce forming the major cities in the game.

Main Characters:

Balanced Hero: Jefferson
Description: Jefferson is your average hero. He was born and raised in the village of Resan. Since childhood he trained to be a fighter like his father. After his father dissappeared on a journey, Jefferson was given the responsibility to protect the village from monsters. He is proficient in blades, but his current weapon are the guns his friend Tark recently invented.

Magic-Powered Heroine: Mora Olimbar
Description: Mora's birthplace and histroy before age 5 are unknown. At age 5 she was left on the doorstep of Mayor Boar's house, and he took her in as his own daughter. Although, in private, she is a fierce warrior and has bested her own father a few times, she rarely talks in public and is very shy of the villagers, whom she thinks considers her an outcast. Recently, she has been forced to take care of the village in her father's steed due to his illness.

Powerhouse Hero: Ignar Pothuk
Description: Ignar is a dwarf from the dwarven kingdom of Krashnik. For years he has been a high ranking soldier in the army, and one of the strongest dwarves in the kingdom. Recently, however, he had a fight with the King and challenged him to a duel. He lost, and was banashed from the kingdom for his insolence. Since then he has been wandering, searching for a fight.

Black Sorcerer: Ordoth Deckra AKA Ordeck
Description: Born Ordoth Deckra, he shortened his name to Ordeck around the same time he started studying the dark arts. Although not entirely evil, simply working for his own ends, he has been disturbing the city of Desra recently and capturing young women for whatever experiments he wants them for. He is strongly opposed to the Overloard's actions and abuse of black magic and giving his kind a bad name.

Supporting Characters:

Jefferson's Father, Daren - Daren was known throughout the land in his younger ages for his strength and bravery. He travelled the world in search of adventure, and found his share of it. After awhile he settled down in a quaint town and started a family with a local woman who captured his heart. The village had a monster attack problem, and he regularly held off the monsters from attacking the city. To prepare for his death, he trained his son in the art of combat so that he may one day take over protecting the city. A few years ago, however, he suddenly packed up, bid his wife and son goodbye, and left on his own adventure, promising to be back soon. He was never seen again.

Jefferson's Mother - Jefferson's Mom is a strong willed woman, who was able to tame her husband into a quiet life... at least for a little while. After Daren left, she took the fatherly position as well as the mother role and raised Jefferson to be strong, but not reckless and stupid.

Tark - Tark and Jefferson have been best friends since childhood. Tark always had an affinity with technology, and practiced his inventing skills as he grew up. He gained a bit of fame after he invented the gun, but soon after he presented it at the annual Technology Fair(a fairly new gathering for inventors), others improved upon his initial design and he lost interest in the project. He is currently finishing his new Steam Engine, which he plans to present at this year's Science Fair and use it to power a wagon by rotating the wheels.

Boar - Boar is Mora's father figure, and has raised her to be just as strong as himself. He is the Mayor of Odel, and gained that title by defeating the prior Mayor in a fight. The old mayor, accepting his defeat, decided to go out adventuring and train to come back one day and reclaim his title as mayor. Recently Boar has fallen ill and given his daughter power of the city, which she hates. But he is confident in her abilities, once the right event triggers her to show her true character...

The Overlord - An evil being who uses Black Magic to terrorize the poplation of Izlam(the continent where the story takes place). He appeared out of no where three years ago and is slowly spreading his influence to the monsters of the world. He is planning something, but what, who knows...

Og the Hobbit - Og, one of the few remaining Hobbits left in the world, has taken an interest in Jefferson's travels and records all that he sees in his Chronicle.

SPOILERS MAJORISH!

Rough Draft Storyline:

Life is normal for Tark and Jefferson. Jefferson defends the city while Tark works to finish his masterpiece, the Steam Engine. Jefferson's Mom has been worried about the recent surge in monster attacks, but Jefferson is confident he can handle them. Then, one fateful night, a man wearing a long dark cape and with purple skin attacks the village, and hurts Tark. Jefferson attacks and kills the creature, and with it's dying breath says, "The Overlord will see to it that you die!"

Tark is bedridden with his wound, but will survive. Jefferson, intrigued by this attack, wants to go out and find who this "Overlord" is, but knows he must stay to protect the city. After a day or two of normality, the villagers all gather at the entrance to the village. Jefferson is in front of this crowd, and his mother tells him, "We all know that you want to go find the Overlord. We're going to allow you to persue him." A few men from the village promise to protect it, and assure Jefferson all will be fine as he is gone. Jefferson thanks them all, and after saying goodbye to Tark and his mother, leaves the village.

Jefferson, on his way to where the creature came from, meets a wandering hobbit named Og. Og greets Jefferson and listens to his story in earnest. Intrigued by his story, Og decides to travel with Jefferson and record all that he does. However, in towns and such, he will go off and do his own things without telling, and can only reach certain places in dungeons to record Jefferson's journies.

Jefferson reaches a town called Odel, and learns of a new controversial Mayor, aparently the former Mayor's daughter. Some say she is a fine canidate, others shun her for being "wierd". Jefferson decides to meet this Mayor, but cannot find her anywhere. While he wanders around the Mayor's large basement, he finds a combat room, and a large man exercising in it. The large man sizes up Jefferson, and then attacks him.

Jefferson wins the battle, and then notices that the man he fought was actually very sick. Mora runs in and scolds her father for trying to exercise in his condition, and Jefferson for fighting him. Jefferson apologizes and they both help Boar back into bed.

Boar praises the young warrior for beating him and offers him to become the new Mayor of the town. Jefferson, surprised by this, declines and thanks him politely for the offer. Mora looks dissappointed but says nothing.

Jefferson gathers up his things and is ready to leave when he notices a mob at the Mayoir's House. He comes to find Mora on the front steps, standing silent as the villages throw questions and insults to her abilities at her. Jefferson runs in and asks Mora why she doesn't defend herself, and Mora whispers to him that she is afraid. Jefferson takes the initiative and scolds the crowd for being so ruthless to a women from their town, but Mora interjects and explains that she is NOT from the town. Jefferson asserts that that doesn't matter, that she was raised there and deserves a chance as much as anyone else. Mora is speechless, and the crowd disperses.

Jefferson apologizes to Mora for being so pushy about defending her and is about to leave when she stops him and asks if she may travel with him. Jefferson, stunned, reminds her of her father, but Boar appears from inside the building and assures him that he can handle a town while his daughter follows her heart. Mora hugs her father and then joins Jefferson on his journey.

(also, sometime during all of this boar tells of the old mayor and his leaving)

I've got more, but how does this sound so far?

[Kijuki_Magazaki]

MGG (my good God)..... Moose taht is freaking splendid man!!! I like it!, no I luv it XD Noseriously is well constructed for the RPG planned. 9 outta 10 man

[Robotam]

Osmose:
OMG! You did it all, Osmose!
This is some good stuff.
You got more too!?
However, it's perfect!
Thanks very much, Os!

Tomi:
Good, very good!
I'll use him. As you can see there is alot more characters now.
If you want you could do some of them as well?

[Osmose]

Once again, SPOILERS FOR THE WARY - I want at least SOME people still surprised by this

Also, if you haven't surmised, Og is the savepoint man. You don't really ever see him except when he's standing there as a save point.

When we left off, Mora and Jefferson had just left Odel in search of clues about the Overlord. Mora mentions that she heard of a strange man who appeared recently in the nearby town of Pofra, a satellite village that makes most of it's money with the trade route between it and Ridhelm, the main city of the area.

Our heros arrive at Pofra and notice that everyone is excited about the coming Festival of Life. They hear around that the main event will be a long procession going from Pofra to Ridhelm to party all night long. Jefferson, a bit low on cash, decides to offer to help defend the parade for a bit of money. He is accepted, and is given a funny costume to wear so as to disguise himself with the rest of the guards.

Dusk comes, and already the town is alight with lights and candles and all manner of fireworks. Mora is dressed in a very colorful, and, er, revealing party dress, to which Jefferson has no objections, and gets slapped for a comment.

The parade begins and Jefferson settles down near a desert-themed area of the parade, aparently selebrating some far off culture he's never heard of. All goes well, until a signla flare in the back of the parade goes off, calling all guardes to come quickly with swords out. Mora, Jefferson, and a handful of other hired guards a running too.

When they reach the area, they meet a tall man with purple skin, and Jefferson recognizes him as...

Jefferson: "You!"

It's the creature that attacked his town, or so he thinks. The creature, while holding a limp guard in one hand and a long ornamental curved sword in another, explains how he and the other creatures are warriors in the Overlord's vampire army. Moose has heard enough and attacks the creature, but loses. The creature takes on of the guards, calls him "suitable", and flys off to the west.

The parade is obviously ruined, and the rest debate if it should continue with these new events. A red glow from Pofra, however, drives them back to find their town in flames. A firefight ensues and Jefferson bravely runs into houses to save trapped townspeople. Mora uses her water magic to help with the fire.

Afterwards, the town thanks both of them, along with the guards and firemen, for their great service and offer them all free passes to the High Trading Center in Ridhelm. Mora and Jefferson, seeing no reason not to, decide to head to Ridhelm and see what's there anyway.

During their travel to Ridhelm they camp out for the night, and we learn a bit more about Mora's past. About she has flashes of her memory before being brought to Odel, and how she was, and still is, very shy around people. We also see the growing affection between our hero and heroine, but nothing too open yet.

The next day goes normally, and eventually they reach Ridhelm. It's a sprawling city with huge main streets, tons of smaller streets, and many back alleys for unfreindly types to lurk. Jefferson and Mora decide to walk around seperately for awhile, and to meet up at the High Trade Center later.

Jefferson does his fair share of wandering. There's a shop for everything you can imagine, including one selling improvements on Tark's basic gun technology. In that store he also is introducedc to something called a "Telephone". It's some mechanical device the runs on waves through the air to communicate. With it, Jefferson is able to talk to Tark, who has recovered and is currently at the Invention Fair. He invites him to come to it sometime, as it is at a convention center somewhere. As to how Tark got there Jefferson can only guess.

The back alleys have shops with less than legal products, but at reduced prices. The sellers warn, however, that if he sells them anywhere besides these back alleys, he will not get paid anything due to them being stolen. There's also a craps and poker minigame.

Jefferson has had his fill of the city, and decides to go to the High Trade Center. It's a large dome near the center castle, and holds some of the best shops in Ridhelm. He meets Mora and they both enter the dome with their passes. Once inside they see shops with some of the best equipment in the world, but none of the shops take gold. They ask a man at an information booth and he tells them that the High Trade Center runs on a special type of currency called SC, or special coins. These coins can be found all over the world, or can be bought at a rate of 1000 Gold for 1 SC. Whether the player has enough to buy something at this point depends on their skill.

Time is short. I'll do even more later.

XD Still very good moose, I keep liking it. I see as just  an RPG so very good job.

Moose has heard enough and attacks the creature, but loses. The creature takes on of the guards, calls him "suitable", and flys off to the west.

When one has been typing like that, names get confusing. More than once I had to look back and find the name of Ridhelm.

It's the weekend so later today I should be able to get to a point near the end of the cliche. Also, please suggest some programs I can write about for when Jefferson and co. reach the desktop.
