Okay I got a story concept for it, I have ideas, But be nice to have a crew even if online one to help build this RPG.

First of all the story starts out talking about Long ago Crystals had fallen from the sky and into the Earth, these crystals had elemental properties that eventually formed Pangaea, naming these crystals the Seeds of creation. The land of course separated into continents, but the land of the crystals became separate from the rest of the world. The crystals granted this separate land a illusion, so no one of the out side world would ever be able to find it unless they knew were to look or accidentally enter. The elements also had influence over the wild life and so Animals Evolved differently in this land and became humanoid (Anthropromorphics, Furries if you will.) The energy granted from these crystals often gave these Humanoids the ability to manipulate a single element. They also had the ability to appear human to the out side world if they were ever to leave the Land of the Crystals. This humanoid race became named Deamons. They were natural born adepts, due to the ability to manipulate elements, but they were ever only able to manipulate one and only one type of element.
This energy from the crystals also gave Deamons a nearly immortal life span. Every Ten Years is only 1 year to a Deamon.

Over time in history, they feared that the crystals needed to be guarded and so the made laws, it was forbidden to leave the land of the crystals, doing so you would never be welcome to enter the village ever again. This was to prevent the out side world from learning of the location of this land. And to help protect it, They Deamons who mastered there Adept abilities, were Decided to be Gaurdians, becoming a guardian was Honorable thing to all Deamons, but.. becoming a Gaurdian meant leaving the land them selves forever. Never allowed to return, there job was to make sure no out siders were to ever come back including the deamons who chose to leave.

There are Ten Elemental Crystals, Thus there are Ten Elements, and its 1 Mastered adept of each element who becomes a guardian so there are ten Gaurdians.

The elements are Fire, Water, Earth, Air, Light, Lightening, Ice, Rock, Sonic, and Shadow.

(For those who want to say five elements, there is a reason for having ten.)

SPOILER: Later in the story, after something called the Elementals Attacks the village of the Land of the crystals, and then the village vanishes, the Main characters of the story learn of something about there Race angering the elementals. It is said that Deamons had Sinned in the past that angered the elementals. You find out that there are only five elementals (Aqua, Gaia, Magma, Areo, and Spirit) and the sin was that the Deamons split the elements. There was origanly only 5 crystals so 5 elements but the y split them making 10 elements. Note Fire-Lightening, Water- Ice, Earth -Rock, Air- Sonic, Light-Shadow)

Okay any ways that is only part of the story, its only a puzzle to the rest of the plot.

I was thinking that this story is going to go by Eras, starts out way in the past, but after a certain story arch is completed it moves on to next era as Deamons Life span seem nearly immortal.

Characters I have so far are:
Silvian, a Leopard Mastered Adept of Water and has become a guardian.

Ociri, a Jackle adept of Ice, he has not mastered his abilities and is not a guardian but ends up forced to leave the Land of the Crystals after it completely vanishes for unknown reasons later to be discovered.

Kalie Castafire, She is a tombboy princess, human, but she is one of the few humans who are capable of seeing past the natural illusion of Deamosn and seeing them as they really are. Her roll, is she dies in the 1st story arch, but she reincarantes for the next era (different upbringing ect, but same personality, looks, ect. But her name is different of course. Her roll dies after each Story Arch and she reincarnates in each Era. She is somehow linked to the Elementals (later to find out why and what I mean.) And In each Era Silvian and Ociri meet her again and again, Silvian falls in love with her, but he is forced to watch her die every era, and always tries to re win her heart. Also Silvian tries to train Ociri to master his elemental power and become a gaurdian.

Any ways that should due for story explanation, i do not want to write a book here in one post. Any ways that is the idea of the story.



Game Ideas:

A controled Lvl System were players are capped at lvl 5, but they find somthign called a Lvl sphere that increases the cap by 5.

So basicly start out as lvl 1, get experince but suddenly capped at lvl5, find a lvl Sphere, they are now capable of going up 5 more levels.

These lvl spheres will be hidden through out the game, like heart tanks in zelda. This will prevent players from over leveling, gaining experience wont be to hard ether. This way they can work on character development by fighting and by exploring.

I was thinking doing something similar with Equipment were you need to find special items that allow you to progress, with special ability upgrades and such to help your battles further.

Any ways there you have it.

There just ideas and concepts, not written in stone, they can be changes, deleted, or added on.

Things to think about with character sprites which could be tough,

Is they need a Animal Antrho form, a human form, and they will be dressed differently for each Era, as each Era is different timeline of course.

Also to All Deamons are able to become gaurdians, mastering there element and so they get a ability to summon what is called a Golem. There HP is basicly the MP Bar, story wise, they are the embodiment of a adepts power, when a golem is damaged the Adept can feel the pain. If a golem is completely destroyed then the adept loses all of his power, and will have to regain it. There for if a golem gets damage MP decreases, if the golem is destroyed, then MP is 0. No MP then Adepts can not use any magic.

*Hops back in*
Ok, I'm here, now what do you need?

I would strike the name daemons, it has a negative connotation and well,... does not fit seeing as there is no evil overlord.
why would you claim rock separate from earth?
more logical = crystal / sand

Possible name: fallen, though super obvious... or something else...

Golems, have them separate, as they are guardians, meat shields and should be like a tole paid for their use, but not a constant mana link, like cut out a base line of 40mp or something like 25-50%

If you do want to be apart of it, please go to Wolftears.megabb.com

I want to say that the name Daemon stays, the story is by far way more planned out. Daemon is a word used to describe beings that are between mortals and gods, regardless of good or evil. The title will be City of Gods.

Yeah summoning a golem, your right should minus some magic for summoning, but because they are supposed to be the essence of a Daemons power, so I also thing there should be a fatigue thing, so maybe minus a little more mp each turn its out. If MP reaches 0 then the Golem KO. Story wise, when a Golem truly dies, a Daemon loses there power, and have to regain it, but end up with a new golem (This is a story event, separate from battle. In battle just MP reaches 0 its just KO. I have a moment were there will be a Golem Death.)

I been writing this into a actual story, not too far, but the entire thing is planned out in my head.

Also explantion of the elements,

Fire, Water, Earth, Air, Light, Lightning, Ice, Rock, Force (instead of sonic), and Shadow.

Earth I was thinking would be more plant based, while rock is well stone, rock, ect. Force is more the manipulation of sound waves or unseen forces, like gravity.

Also they these elements make up actually two sides of a coin sorta speak.

Fire + Lightning = Pyro
Water + Ice = Aqua
Earth + Rock = Geo
Air + Force = Areo
Light + Shadow = Anima

Also story wise and im sure ways to incorporate into the RPG, eventually the main characters will be able to perform a fusion with there summoned golems. Which I would image would cost even larger amounts of MP for use. Will probable even come up with other limitations to balance it out. But the effect of fusion would greatly boost certain stats, and maybe special moves to be used.

Anyways, please post in wolftears.megabb.com its my forum site. I would greatly appreciate it. That is were I would like to focus the project at, as i have a few buddys who want to be apart of it and are on there. Otherwise if you do post here, you will be waiting a while for a post, cause as I said in my PM i had quit gaia, only ever so seldom come on here. I still receive alerts for PMs that how I know you responded on here. So hope to see you in Wolf Tears, and thank you for your time, Wanted to fill you in on some of my reasons, feel free to ask questions and make more suggestions.
