At long last, I have the game’s main storyline and setting. It took me a while, but this is the first full announced description of what I have in store from this game. I have this under a poll because I want to know if this is a good idea for a plot or not. Please forgive me if this is in the wrong section, I hope I'm not breaking any rules...
--------------------------------------------------------
Story: …long ago, our world was unlike any that existed. It was a land where nobody knew of war, and wealth was abundant. It was a peaceful kingdom, with a proud and benevolent king. …one day, his daughter, the princess of this kingdom predicted terror. She was right. Darkness suddenly appeared and unleashed it’s wrath upon the kingdom. …unable to defend themselves against this evil, the citizens all began to fall. The few brave survivors retreated into the castle, the last stronghold.
They all only knew it would be merely a matter of time before they would all fall too. As a precaution, the mages collected and began to write a text. Once that would become sacred. Etched within it’s pages where spells with unbelievable power. To prevent evil from using the book, it’s powers could only be unlocked by a hero, a soul destined for keeping the book at their side.
No sooner was the book written, the dark forces managed to break through the castle. The mages tried to protect their land, but all fell. The king also fell to this same dreaded fate. Rumors speculate that the princess somehow managed to escape, though nobody knows of her true fate…
Time came and went… taking the lost land and slowly erasing the memory of the ill-fated world. Now… in our own time and world… the book managed to find it’s way into the hands of a young hero. Is this the hero foretold to have the book… an if that’s true… then what’s preventing the past from occurring again?
--------------------------------------------
Setting. Of course, a game isn’t a game without setting. There are multiple places you can go in the game, but these are the general places.
The Living Realm: The world as we know it. The place where our planet exists. Cities, towns, oceans… the things a person here has come to know and love. This is the main realm, where most of the action occurs. The game starts of here.
The Mystic Realm: A mysterious water realm, bound with a mysteries past. Though this place seems completely void of animal life, there are only five islands. Each and every island has a strange remnants of an advanced civilization. Some have towers, and enormous builds, others are ruins. It is discovered that these quiet and lonely ruins have no correlation with the ancient land of the book, but then who built these bizarre places, and what became of them?
The Virtual Realm: This is a strange realm designed by scientists from the Living Realm. Here, natural physics don’t apply, anything can happen here. It is said that be hacking into the systems, one can alter reality, change the realm or themselves, or anything else. Always expect the unexpected here…
? realm: Tales describe a 4th hidden realm. Nothing is know about this place, except that it’s a dreaded and evil place. No known way exists to find this place yet… thought most don’t want to go there.
-----------------------------------------------
Main Character Descriptions:
Leoshi: A shy and sometimes sad yoshi from a small town. Because something bad occurred in his past, he never speaks of what happened to make him like that. He arrived at Yoshi City High to get a better education. He didn’t speak to others and kept himself alone. However, after stumbling upon the spell book, he finds himself caught in an adventure. He is later joined by others to quest on a grand voyage. His on field attacks are the book’s spells.
Dark Leoshi: With a past even more mysterious then Leoshi, he’s a mean and evil one. His intentions remain unclear, though he does everything he can to try and get Leoshi by himself. He never tries to destroy him, just separate him from the others. It’s unclear why he wants to keep Leoshi constantly isolated, but it’s clear he has dark things planned.
Demon: An elite ninja from an unknown place. His goals are simple, to take the book and use it for his own purposes. He first attempts to defeat Leoshi, though when it doesn’t work out, he sets his sights on the book, and will get it by any means necessary. Throughout the game, he is a recurring villain.
Virtuous : This is the name she goes by. She keeps herself cloaked by a light blue sheet, exposing only her eyes. Though her intentions are not known either, she appears to be a good person, as she seems to bail the heroes out of dangerous situations, or help. She merely gets them safe, then vanished before accepting gratitude. Virtuous is basically the mysterious heroine.
----------------------------------------------
Like any RPG, it needs multiple allies to help out. That’s where the other YC members come in. Notice this is how they wanted them to be:
Yoshifrog: The very first member to join in on the fun. Cheerful, though a bit bossy at times, she’s another yoshi to help out. She decided to join Leoshi to look for Yoshi4evr whom has mysteriously gone missing. She’s a basic Yoshi, with basic abilities. A good beginner’s choice, and when levels up can be a formidable opponent. On the field, she is capable of using her tongue to reach new places.
Enrique: Need brains? He’s the one for the job. He joins in search of expanding his horizons. The scientist, though weak one on the team, he is constantly noting the environment and collecting items as a research project. On the field, he can come and describe the sector and give hints.
Hero: A music lover and valiant fighter, he joins in a quest to defeat his own foe. A well rounded swordsman and great friend, he will help out whenever he can. Sometimes his is underestimated by his personality for being too nice, but he will defend anything he cares about with his own life. On the field, he can use his sword.
Yin: One who’s more concerned about herself then others, she’s well known for getting hungry a lot, and sleeping in unnecessary times. A bit of a comic relief, though she snaps when very angry. Skilled in the ways of ninjutsu, she joins in search of finding demon and defeating him in battle. Her field ability is her golden eye, that reveals secrets.
Yoshi4evr: A good friend and helpful person, he instantly joins the group after discovering Yoshifrog was looking for him. His intentions are simple. Stay with her and protect the book from evil, at all costs. He is a combination specialist, using baby Mario to attack with combo moves. He and Yoshifrog are also the only ones on the team capable of using a combo attack by combining power.
Ra: He always assumes he’s right, though he‘s kind. A bit of a stubborn one, he is the brother of Golden. After his mysterious disappearance, Ra takes things into his own hands. On his journeys, he meets the team. Though reluctant, Ra joins the team to find his brother. His field ability is his scepter. It’s radiance gives one a nice light in the dark.
YW: A caring Yoshi always willing to lend a helping hand. He finds the group in trouble and bails them out of a tough situation. In return, the team lets him join in their quest. He is on his own journey to find a certain item, and decided this quest will help him find this item. His on field ability is to attack with a simple punch. Less range then hero’s sword, but stronger.
Ultraloco: A friendly and constantly silly Yoshi, he’s the true comic relief aboard the team. Joins for no apparent reason, just ends up there and decides to join after hearing their tale. A well rounded combatant, he can be handy, with a strange amount of comedic attacks. His field ability allows him to summon a steam train, making transportation quicker.
Tempest: A brave and arrogant Yoshi. He is not at all willing to simply join the team, because he has his own situation. He does agree to helping out provided the team is capable of proving themselves by solving a riddle. One that takes the characters into their first trip to the Mystic Realm. After solving this mysterious riddle, he agrees to join for his own reasons. His field ability allows him to use the Tetra Gavel to destroy a huge obstacle.
Yoshee & Champ: An inseparable pair of a Yoshi and Chao, they are the only team fighters. All of their fighting attacks are combinations of their power, and are thus above average attack power. They join after being rescued from a bad situation in the virtual realm. Their field ability allows Yoshee to throw Champ in the air to catch something in flight.
Jayshi: A simple and friendly character who is hard to get. In order to receive him, you must complete a trading item event. He is a strong fighter and a powerful ally. Hard to earn but worth getting, due to his power. His Field ability creates a blade of wind that both slashes obstacles and blows them away.
Rocky: On vacation for a recently completed journey of his own, he reluctantly joins the team knowing the world’s existence is at stake. For a while, he is unable to attack, he just follows because he lost his weapon in the virtual realm. After going and getting the weapon back, he joins the team for real. His field ability lets him use his bat to hit certain switches in the virtual realm.
Yapi: A very friendly and cheerful Yoshi with a kind disposition. She is discovered on one of the islands of the mystic realm deep within a temple. She joins after you beat a mini-boss, which will not be easy. By doing this, she gladly joins the team. Her power over the elements makes her one of the most powerful in the game. Her field ability is flight, letting her fly up to eight stories high in the air.
Teo: A yoshi who can transform into a dragon. A nice, though sometimes mischievous one. He can be gained after defeating his dragon form. When you get him, his dragon powers can help in a big way, and increase the team’s ability to attack by almost twice as much. His field ability allows him to turn into a dragon and destroy the largest of obstacles. However, he can’t destroy magic based obstacles.
Yesha: A friendly and understanding Yoshi. Her sword is her weapon, and she can use well rounded attacks. She’s a good ally, average in battle. Commands Ice powers, though not too strong, but far range. Her field ability is to freeze water to travel over.
Toshi[ICE]: A more advanced Ice specialist, he is found practicing his attacks in the virtual realm. He joins the team after testing their abilities in a fight. All of his attacks are ice based, and he is capable of taking anything and freezing it. His field ability lets him create a windy blizzard, freezing all the enemies without getting in fights (and not getting EXP). This doesn’t work on minibosses and bosses.
Note: Yoshifrog and Enrique are the first two to join. Everyone else can be gotten out of order.
------------------------------------------
How is that for progress? The game might also include other members as guests, NPC, perhaps sidequest characters. Only time will tell... By the way, I'm open for suggestions.
