the way the story is meant to progress is very fragmented in my mind. I would like to make the character have some tie to the demons gate but for the most part, she starts as a human with human abilites.
The story starts in ancient times when scottland and ireland were in war with the english. this is actully going to feature a lot the stereo typical angry scott humer but i think that this will be put to good use. I was thinking of making this a game that takes place in the renissance era because the main character shows a very strong interest in art. this is infact how the opening cutescene is meant to work. these are really just places to take inspiration from as the world will actully be origional with its own history and events. not to mention its own world map.
in any event. the main character enters the game at an art exibit in a rather large town. at this point in her life she is a 16 year old theif who is for the most part homeless. she has lived her life by stealing the things that she needs, but she would never steal to make profit. or at least, we are led to think. as the story starts to unfold, anyka finds this flyer about a religious meeting that is led by a group that is said to bring happiness and prosperity to all who they give their blessing to. there is a catch though, anyka must join into their society meaning she will leave all that she has known in her travels across the country side.
Like all things, it looks good on the surface but there is always a deeper evil involved.
This group turns out to be more of a fundamentalist cult that is actully trying to bring the so called god to them. these people are textbook ignorant and know nothing of the planes of existance or the celestual library.
Anyka was never a girl to mindlessly follow ideas or theories. to her, everything that this cult stood for was a theory and nothing more. she had her own ideas that would prove more accurate than she would ever imagine.
Finally a day would come that would prove all of the fears that she had always tricked herself into beliving were false. as an unlucky pick, she and 10 others were selected to become ambasators of the gods. more to the point, this cult selected her to die because she was not faithful to them or their god. this is a very brural death that will scar anyka for the rest of the game. she did make friends and to see them slain in such cold blood was too much.
after a small scene of blank screen and text, anyka wakes up in a place or nothiness. she gets up and looks around for a sec, and just falls back down crying. the idea of her life being over is just too much for her but there is a very strong sense of digavou as she is greeted by a figure covered in a richly textured white cloke. this is where the story picks up a few parts of anyka''s life. this is the celestual library where people are examined when they die and their lives read to determine their coarse in death.
" the second coming of the Vedic dark angel is a time to be selebrated and cherished for it is a time of great change and prosperity"
words anyka would not understand untill her trip to her true home beyond the demon''s gate.
