More info on the Apostropha



The Apostropha are ancient spirits that have been a part of the world since the beginning. No one knows exactly what they are, but the Great Book mentions them joining with the Knight and other hero's throughout history to vanquish the rising evils.

In Paper Knight's Story, the Apostropha join Nait as he searches for the Author's Pencil. They are very helpful to his cause, especially on the battle field. Each new Apostropha is a new ally in battle, each with it's own unique traits, stats, and abilities. Typically, an Apostropha is defined by one trait.

General Types of Apostropha
Elemental - These are based on one specific element, learning high levels of both physical and magic skills that use that elemental. They are also very weak to the opposite element but resist their own element.
(At least 4, one for every element)

Support - These apostropha specialize in helping out Nait through either healing him or providing status buffs.
(At least 3)

Special - These apostropha provide unique abilities and are typically optional or hidden. They specialize in stealing equipment/items/gold bills from enemies, raise the experience/gold bills gained at the end of battle for the party if the apostropha is alive, or simply draw 90% of the enemies attacks to them. Although their abilities maybe less conventional, a skilled player might figure out the best way to use them. (At least 2)

As of now, there are 10 planned Apostropha in the game, and there will be secret ones for the player to discover on their own. Apostropha do have their own levels and gain experience, so the player must keep this in mind when switching up their party.

These look very cute. My favorite is the one with the snowflake-shaped tail, I guess that would be Apostrice? Heh; That's a weird sounding name... How about Cryostrophe? From Kryos (Cold) and well, Strophe (a turning) Also, it sounds like Catastrophe (Same etymological root) which is pretty badass. Just think about it. Pyrostrophe, Aquastrophe, Terrastrophe.... xD

Anyway, the idea sounds nice. Good luck implementing this!
I like the second last with the muffler tail pipes, personally. I hope his skills involve at least one high speed acceleration and plumes of smoke.
Thanks for the feedback.

@alterego That's actually a good naming scheme. I kinda already decided to let some people come up with the names themselves though.

@Dyatho The muffler guy is actually supposed to be a thunder elemental, but if I made him grey and added some smoke puffs, that could be a cool design for an Apostropha with the skill set you mentioned. Thanks for the idea.
