Hi everyone. I've got an idea for the story of a game that I am making... I'd like to get some outside opinions on it. Good? Boring? Cliche? (Are accents possible here?) Basically, here is a brief(?) outline of the Prologue...
A long time ago, there was a Kingdom called Mosaic. It was a Kingdom, a City, a Continent... Mosiac was, essentially, a kingdom consisting of one city that spans an entire continent. Smaller than Australia. (NOTE! To picture Mosaic, I'd suggest that you take the starting city from FFVII, clean it up a little, and make everything blue instead of black. Thank you.)
In Mosaic, the leader was determined by a science fair of sorts... A vicious, political science fair. The person with the best and most ingenious Project (as determined by the current King or Queen) would ascend to the throne, and become the new ruler of Mosaic.
The people on the western continent knew little of Mosaic, until one day, when a new King, Sir Edward I, attempted to contact the outside world. Soon, the western continent's under standing of technology grew, and various technonolgical marvels changed the continent forever. The people of Kaillel, the western continent called the mysterious land to the east Technetia.
As technology grew to the modern level, contact between the two continents ceased. A new King, one who intended to keep all of Mosaic's technology for himself, had claimed the throne. The people of Kaillel tried to contact the Technetians, but were either simply ignored, or destroyed (in the case that they tried to approach Mosaic directly). The technology of Mosaic advanced like never before, and progress in Kaillel ground to a halt.
In Mosaic, the new King was quickly overthrown by an ambitious man by the name of Thomas Kreem, whose project was the creation of artificial superhumans. His first subject was a fifteen year-old volunteer called Khiran Black. Project Void, as he was called after the experiment, was the first prototype artificial superhuman: the project that won Kreem the throne.
Numerous other Projects were created, each more refined than the last, but none could match the sheer power and cunning of Project Void. Finally, Project Void and King Kreem (well, mostly Project Void) discovered a new technique of human augmentation that could potentially create a superhuman as powerful as Project Void. Work on "Project Chaos" began at once, and the Project grew ever nearer to completion.
On the day before the predicted completion of "Project Chaos", a massive malfuntion afflicted it. This malfuntion soon occurred within other systems, and it was feared that some new type of virus had infected the city. Suddenly, control of "Project Chaos" was lost. A surge of destructive energy, known today as the Wind of Chaos, blasted forth from "Project Chaos".
Nothing survived.
The people of Kaillel soon discovered that Technetia had been utterly destroyed. None could fathom what could have caused such terrible destruction. No one ever did.
Our story begins when an old couple discovered a young boy, wandering the roads, crying. The old couple took him in, and he lived with them in the village of Cyber. He could only remember one thing: his name.
Chaos.
