The Plot:
It all began when humans began forging great weapons of iron in ancient times. Then the earth was still young and spirits, the most powerful of which were the spirits of earth itself, still walked among men.
A great spirit of the earth was entranced by the work of the most skilled crafter and gifted the man with the ability to wield both iron and spells as one...something the very nature of iron had prevented until then.
Over time this man propagated a large and powerful family of people that became known as "Spell Swords".These people became the mightiest warriors in all the land, able to control magic and wield weapons of great power at the same time.
Soon though, many others began to fear them. They were too powerful, too many, and only seemed to be increasing in strength. In fear, many men and nations rose against them, driving them back and far across the vast oceans...supposedly to their doom.
Over the generations the family has become smaller and the power weaker, until the last child born with the gift. She showed much potential, more than any other for generations before her.
Becuase they needed to extend the blood line, they sent her away as a child, back over the ocean and to the kingdoms that had driven her out. With no way to return home, she lived among the other humans until she was discovered and captured.
Fearing that she would become more powerful, yet not having the courage to kill her, they locked her away beneath a horrible prison. There she was tortured and mocked until she thought that she would go mad.
Finally though, something has gone wrong for the prison. She has escaped and now seeks to find a way to return to her home... a place that no one even seems to know of anymore.
The Characters:
Kimi - Kimi is the main character. She's plagued by several mental infirmities due to her long and unjust imprisonment, including...but not limited to constantly talking to an imaginary friend. Though she uses a sword, she is deffinitely not an average main character, due in most part to her complete naivety about some things balanced with her mental disturbia.
Guarda - Guarda is a warrior from the feathered tribe. He was sent to negotiate peace with a kingdom near his home. Upon arrival he was seized and secreted away to a prison island where he has lived ever since.
After saving Kimi from the hands of other prisoners, he vows to help her find a way off of the island and back to her home.
Worbby - Worbby is among other things, the main healer/debuffer of the group. He is a large, leapord spotted bunny with magical powers and a not so friendly attitude towards other monsters.
He's also not Kimi's imaginary friend.
Last Charactert sill in process.
The World:
Hell's Island - The starting area for our heroine, Hell's island is a lot like a old times version of Arcatraz...only not as friendly. It is an island that is home to the most feared prison in the entire world, and where two of the characters are sent. The island has to inhabited regions, the prison known as Hell's Gate and a run down town where the less dangerous criminals are dumped.
In general the island is desolate, mostly scrub and empty space. It is contsantly locked in rain and thunder because of its placement along the coast. There is only one way on or off of the island, and that is a dock that only the guards have access too. As the game starts, the boat has been taken because the guards abandoned the island completely...leaving the prisoners to fend for themselves.
