ARIEDONUS'S PROFILE

It kind of sucks, but maybe it'll get a chuckle. I'll probably make a better one later, haha.

Fun topic idea. :D

Woah, Sion, looks delicious. I'm really digging the character windows, or whatever you want to call them. Only suggestions I have are to change the water in the background, because it looks square and unnatural. Also, I think the windows would look better if the blue was changed to a different color, or if blue was added to the character windows.

But that's just me being nitpicky, haha.

EDIT: @Liberty: I think I know which cliffs you're talking about. I'll try and fix that. ;D

Earthbound, because I'll probably never play it. Haha

Overview
I haven't really been working on this game for too long (about two months), but I'm hoping it will be a game with a storyline people will actually be interested in/care about. Other than that, I don't have much to say except read on...

Also, if you're looking for the game's page, click the banner. :D

Backstory
It's a bit rough at the moment, but here you go.

"Syrunilae was a beautiful planet, formed by a god by the name of Vaigen. He watched over his planet for many years, assuring that balance was kept. Eventually, it came time for his sister, Eclipse, to come check up on him and his planet. She was the unofficial leader of their galaxy, and to keep things in order, she spoke to the gods and goddesses on occasion, a routine checkup of sorts. On her checkup; however, Vaigen decided to go a step further and give his sister a tour of his planet.

Unfortunately, it did not lead to any good. After their tour of Syrunilae in the form of humans, a human couple happened to see Eclipse and Vaigen as they returned to the heavens. At the time, neither thought anything of it, but word of the event made its way to every corner of the earth, and everyone was wondering: what if? This question even plagued the mind of the few blessed with the ability to speak to him, and they constantly questioned him, asking for answers that he would not give. Anger soon got the best of him though, and the god called on a large group of meteorites, raining them down on Syrunilae. The meteorites completely and utterly shattered the planet, nothing remaining once the dust had cleared.

Destroying the planet took a fair amount of energy from Vaigen, despite his godly status, but he took no note of it and set off to create a new planet. It was a fresh start, another chance to make his perfect little world. But, creating a world takes more energy than destroying one, and it took its toll on Vaigen. After mere days the god could no longer go on with this task and perished, leaving his new planet unfinished as he vanished from the cosmos…"

The game's story starts with two explorers, Leo and Jade, on an airship to an unexplored area. Minutes from their destination, the airship is shot down. Luckily, Leo lands in a lake and survives, but Jade is nowhere to be seen. So, he begins to search for her in a nearby forest, although he may just find a little more than he had planned...

Class System
Each character has a variety of classes available to them, and they can be changed any time you're not in combat or a cutscene. Certain puzzles in dungeons may only be completed by characters of a certain class, as a certain ability specific to that class could be required (ex. a character with the Thief class is needed to unlock a treasure chest). Also, you will be able to form the most effective battle strategies by the classes you choose for your characters, making combat easier and more profitable.

When the class menu, or the "Grimoire of Skill" as it is currently called, becomes available, each character has three classes to choose from. As the game progresses, the characters may unlock other classes that will offer different/better fighting styles, though through what means is dependent on the class.
