WeaponBirth: Ferrum Anima

Version 0100a; Update 2



This is how you start the game. Tetsumori wakes up in a daze from a pile of fragments scattered about. She has no idea what's going on or why she's there, but from here she starts to wander. Unlike most games that start like this, she doesn't have convenient plot amnesia. She simply just doesn't have anything more than some basic information and vague experiences in her mind. She knows who she is, except at this point she does not know an audible name- "Tetsumori" is a name she gets later (because people have to call her something).

She is dressed in similar clothes to that you'll find in ruins nearby, there's lots of things in the game you can find which are only there to allow a player to piece together things. All of these are outlandish to the nearest settlement which was first established by archaeologists, they're nothing like anything else. She's not stupid, she's about as sapient as everyone else there. The problem comes when you realize she can't talk because she doesn't know any languages.

Even with little direction after she wakes up, she quickly feels the magnet out there. Once you get the thing, you can also see the settlement in the distance and can start heading to it (out of curiosity). That is where you start to get a much stronger direction of what to do next.

"Gray Rock" (places are usually named after what they look like to Tetsumori) is a very strange place with rocks unlike anywhere surrounding it. There's a good chance she would encounter one of the people working nearby, and seeing someone from the dead civilization you are studying walking around is a bit unsettling. It doesn't make it any easier that she's barely "human" either. Well.. She thinks she's from around Gray Rock only from the little evidence around, and so do they.
