I'm creating this thread to keep track of my game, but mainly to get any feedback or reccomendations that I can.
I feel very driven to finish this game, and I will complete it. I should probably have a demo available by May or so if things go as expected. I'm still in the very (very) early stages at the moment, so I don't have much going for the game yet.
UPDATE 1.01- Added Eve's weapon and some gun information under Setting. I plan on organizing the topic when I get more information. Just for basic purposes, I will Bold any new information per current update.
UPDATE 1.02- Added Rain, River, Sole, and Lune. Added a feature section, added special abilities, added special ability for Izekial, added short description for Rigel and Izekial, added weaponry for Imbri. Added Rigel's last name(Boles)
UPDATE 1.03- This game is officially on hold until I get better with RPGM. I do plan to come back to it, but all of the controversy is to much for me, knowing as little about RPG maker as I do.
Basic Story
____________
The nation of Arcadia is a strong, idealistic nation. Even though surrounded by larger countries, it has a better economy and military than any single one of them.
Arcadia prides itself on it's peaceful manners, even referring to it's military as the "Peace Corps". The Eastern nation of (yet to be named- I wish to have very effective naming, so I'm going to do some research first.) is at war with Arcadia. The story begins with the Seventeenth general of Arcadia's Eastern front, Rigel, and his soldiers as they hold back the (eastern nation's) northwestern line.
The game will flow between two storylines that will eventually meet, though I am not entirely sure as to how yet.
(second storyline-)
Eve is a shcizophrenic young girl. She lives in a labratory/medical facility. She has been raised there since as long as she can remember. One day she sees one of the doctors operating on a horse. When she peeks closely through the window, she can see that the doctor is holding a knife in his hand, and the horse's muzzle had been cut.
She has an instantaneous reaction, but she is a smart child. She remains quiet about the situation, as she tries to find the horse. She finds the horse..and a lot more.
Setting
____________
(My game) is a fantasy, medieval-based game. But it is not lacking in science.
Guns exsist in the game, but they are largely in study, and not much is known about them. They are used in the military sparsely, and only by high-ranking soldiers with a doctrine in firearms(which takes around six years of study and practice to attain). Even in the hands of a skilled marksman, guns lack the power of even guns in the Revolutionary era. They are a more powerful than bows, and less accurate. Think of them as a prototype.
Being highly unheard of in the (world's) past, the government doesn't want anyone using a gun who doesn't know about every part of them. They are a new breed of weapon, and the government wants them to be in safe hands. Anyone who has the right to wield a firearm has the knowledge of making a gun, and has full knowledge of every aspect of the gun.
And no, this isn't a sixteen nations at war kind of game. Arcadia and it's eastern neighbor are at war, and other diplomatic negotiations and possiblities will occur, but it's not going to start out in the middle of a huge war.
Features
_________
Special abilities
__________
Characters will have unique abilities. Some may be battle-based, and others adventure-based(such as one who can open locked doors).
Characters
__________
I have only four as of yet. I plan to have a satisfactory number, but I plan to put a LOT more into character development that into number of characters.
Rigel Boles
_____
Male
Aged 30-36(undecided)
Seventeenth General of the Peace Corps.(Arcadian military)'s eastern front
Weapon: Guns(mainly in the powerful category-Shotguns/etc.)
A man with a proclaimed glory. He is refferred to as "Sir Boles", and he prefers to have his status recognized. He is a gruff, decisive man. He may be an asshole, but he sticks by his orders, not letting human pain or emotion get in his way.
Izekial
_______
Male
Aged 17-23(undecided)
A P.C.(abbrevition for Peace Corps-used in horribly-lacking-in-length-possiblity job class names.) soldier under the command of Rigel
Weapon: Swords(mainly in the rapier/long dagger category)
A young man who is confused in his idealistic views. He is a curious and patriotic boy, innocent.
Unique Skill: Negotiation, Diplomacy(inbattle and otherwise)
Eve
______
Female
Aged 5-12(undecided)
A young girl with schizophrenia. A resident of a labratory in Arcadia's science district. She is horribly empathetic and doesn't understand the half of it.
Weapon: Rings/amulets(I plan on having more than just these. But they will be unique mental-based weapons, probably.)
Imbri
______
Horse, male/female(undecided)
Aged (undecided)
A stallion/mare that Eve watched being operated on.
(*POSSIBLE STORYLINE SPOILER*)
She was genetically altered to understand the Human language in near-perfect accuracy. Because of this, her intelligence far surpasses any normal animal. Scientists wanted to be able to have contact with her, but they lack any knowledge on the tongue. So, they altered her eyes to be a pure black, having a faint texture that captures and entrances anyone looking into her eyes. She can display emotion and basic conversation to anyone entranced(as unrealistic as it might sound, it's actually quite realistic. The eyes can display a prism of emotions, and ones altered to capture attention can easily display even more of the being's concept)
*END SPOILER*
Equipment: Horseshoes (thanks William)
River
______
Male
Aged(undecided)
A son of (Country to west's King. Need to study some more.). He is a kind man, like his brother Sole.
Equipment: Spear
Rain
______
Female
Aged(Undecided)
Daughter of (Country to west's King. Need to study some more.). She has many physical qualities of an assassain, though she wears a noble robe. When speaking, her words are few, but meaningful.
Equipment: Claws
Sole
______
Male
Aged(Undecided)
Grand commander of Arcadia's Peace Corps. A kind, stalwart man. He is very idealistic, and very young for someone to hold a status such as his. He left the (country to west) to come to Arcadia because his father, the king, dismissed him as being his offspring. This has caused a disliking for the (country to west) amongst the populace, of whom hold a strong following for Sole.
Equipment: Scimtar/cutlass type swords
Lune
______
Horse, Male
Aged(Undecided)
Lune is a powerful stallion with a pure silver mane. He was said to be bred for his beauty and strength, and he shows pure characteristics of both. He is the steed of Commander Sole, and is treated highly. He is mainly recognized because of his unique appearance and high status.
Equipment:Horsehoes

Obviously, I am not very far at all into my game. This is just the very, very basic setup for my story. I will continue updating the story, characters, setting, features, and the like as I get the game further developed. I plan on spending a lot of time studying, as I want to make sure my game is accurate and as good as it possibly can be.
Any reccomendations or advice or any posotive or negative feedback would be appreciated. Please, before giving negative feedback, remember that I am in a very early stage of development, so I will fix and correct things, along with adding a multitude of them.

I could comment on what I like specifically but won't bother unless you ask me to (which I don't mind), but there's nothing that caught my eye as needing improving (except for stuff you already pointed out like their personalities).
