This thread is tl;dr and has many RPG elements, mostly plot-wise. Skip this thread if you aren't the least bit interested.

I've made this sort of thread before with RPG Maker VX, and due to real life complications as well as a lack of dedication and resources, it never happened. This time I'll limit myself to the story first, sidequests and features later, and balancing and extra unlockables last.

I need an enemy, right? The Vaktovians. I don't actually plan to feature any other clans in this unless that clan's name is fitting. So far, here's how the plot goes:

(Skip if you're not one for plot, it's a long read.)
------------------------------------------------------------
You're a child in a thriving city-state, in school, studying to be a (insert class here). Your city-state specializes in that class, as most city-states specialize in one class only. The laws of this city-state are bent towards peace, yet have soldiers around to protect the citizens from hostile city-state attacks.

Due to psychological trauma, you're mute, and you don't have too many friends. One of your neighbors, an adult veteran, secretly trains you in combat in his spare time. Hardly anybody else your age has your experience with combat, as lower-middle class children are forbidden to wield weapons and learn martial arts outside of school grounds.

A rich kid who ran away from home eventually finds out about your secret training by spying on you. He reveals that he has combat experience himself and wishes to spar with you, with the threat of giving away your secret if you refuse. After a few months, he becomes your best friend, and you're easily the dominant of the two despite your inability to speak.

As you near graduation of year 6, the adult veteran decides to take you two along outside the edge of the city-state where monsters are present. After showing you two some real combat practice, he remarks on how much you've improved. Upon your way back to civilization, you notice three strange figures in weird armor with their backs to you. They seem to be observing the city-state. The adult veteran decides that they must not be friendly, so he and the two kids try to sneak around them. The attempt fails, and the three hostile soldiers immediately engage them with advanced weaponry. The adult veteran orders the two kids to run, and you may decide to run or stay and fight.

A day later, the city is suddenly attacked by a hostile enemy force known as the Vaktovians. Wielding advanced robotic technology, they quickly demolish the city-state's defenses. Within hours, the city is under siege, and you're one of the few lucky enough to get out via emergency escape plans. Whether or not you escape with the adult veteran depends on what choice you made earlier. You notice that the armor the Vaktovians are wearing matches the armor the hostile soldiers from yesterday wore. The city-states nearby are also taken over, and the rest of humanity falls.

Seven years later, you wake one morning for your training. Unlike others your age, you've already mastered your art, yet you have the choice of whether to show up or not to make an example. Because of your mastery, the officials of the last surviving city-state would have made you an instructor, yet being mute complicates things.

After training, you gear up for your real duties: A member of an elite Vaktovian hunting squad.
------------------------------------------------------------

Confirmed characters inspired by Roblox usernames:
1. Vaktus
2. Dologan
3. Arcaneclone (Because a female boss is always necessary, although I will shorten the name to just "Arcane")
4. Gargix
5. iRoKtuS (iroctheworld. Secret boss.)

Non-Roblox characters:
1. You: A mute soldier, and one of the finest humanity has ever seen. Has a very traumatizing past.
2. Adult Veteran(Name undecided): Your mentor as a child.
3. Rich kid(Name undecided): Your best friend as a child.

Please, give suggestions and critiques, I'm always open to them. Please note that I've spent very little time in VAC, and they're the antagonists simply because of their name and what they're known for. This is my game and my plot, and in no way will this be like Roblox. It will have modern, medieval, and futuristic elements. It will also not feature space nor underwater, though an alternate dimension is possible. Vaktus may or may not be the final boss, though boss status is almost a guarantee.

If you want your character in here, I'll be more than happy to add this character. There are some rules though:

1. Must, must, MUST be creative and well thought out. If you put something like: "Ross: The strong, silent type. Has laser beams from his eyes and he secretly betrays the main character/is secretly Vaktus", I will not put you in the game. That isn't creative at all, it's abusing a stereotype. Give me an actual description of the character, as well as a backstory, and perhaps combat style if you want him to be a playable character.

2. Know that I can and will adjust your character to justify the plot. If you're going for main character status, know that I might just end up making you a NPC.

3. If you're a Vaktovian, you may have a cameo in the game if you wish. Only High Ranks may qualify for Boss status though.

4. Do not use your username as the character's name. Also, don't use names that's been used in other games before, such as "Doopliss".

5. No using guns as a skill/weapon for your main character. I will disregard your character entirely, as it tells me if you're a JRPG fan or not. The last time I did this, everyone wanted guns and swords on their character, and the lack of creativity amazed me.

6. Know that my resources are still limited. If your character description doesn't come close to matching any of the characters I have, I'll ask you to change it or to pick what comes partially close.

With that, I'll leave this incredibly long post to the rest of C&G to devour. Have any questions? PM me. This is not a guaranteed project, however the idea's been in my head for weeks now. It very well just may happen. Also, if I've made any mistakes in this post, please tell me. Thank you.

A lot of it WILL be inspired by Dark Souls, and I'll be using one or two of their boss themes.

I love that game so much.

Anyway, hey BP. Remember me by any chance?

Doing good, doing homework, so it's all terrible.

Seriously, high school is incredibly easy compared to this.

Other than that, no complaints. You?

I also need soundtracks for levels and scenes. The tone of the song should have dark elements, and please, nothing from Pokemon or Kingdom Hearts.

Oh heres a character

Name: Bob (Because really long names in RPGs are cliched)

Description: Usually silent, wise, really agile. Preferes to work alone but that does not mean he is bad with teams.

Speciality: Master swordsman, uses Dual swords, a bit of magic (such as firebolts and a combination of the swords and magic to create Red hot (and on fire) swords. You could add other basic magic if you want). Also is handy at engineering ("If you got the scraps I'll make what you want")

Past: Former Vak, ran away from the Vaks after they destroyed his home town. Vak is still hunting him, known to have causes many disasters for them (such as sneaking on board to steal a ship and set another on fire). Currently lives somewhere in a forest with a hoverbike and some scraps from the ship.

OPTIONAL: This character meets the mute character after he battles Vaks for the 3rd-10th time. He can craft things for you and sometimes may acompony you into battle (exepct most bosses).

You can change the name entirely if you want, I'm not creative with names.

Hey, min! Allow me the freedom of dissecting your character, I'll pick out the good, the bad, and what I need in him.

>Name: Bob (Because really long names in RPGs are cliched)

Yes, definitely changing.

>Description: Usually silent, wise, really agile. Preferes to work alone but that does not mean he is bad with teams.

He could be a character for the main team. He can't be too silent though, that's the main character's job. He might be the 2nd most silent in the game though.

>Speciality: Master swordsman, uses Dual swords, a bit of magic (such as firebolts and a combination of the swords and magic to create Red hot (and on fire) swords. You could add other basic magic if you want). Also is handy at engineering ("If you got the scraps I'll make what you want")

A spellblade? With two swords? Pick one, haha. I don't allow too many qualities on a single character, as it takes away from other possible candidates.

>Past: Former Vak, ran away from the Vaks after they destroyed his home town. Vak is still hunting him, known to have causes many disasters for them (such as sneaking on board to steal a ship and set another on fire). Currently lives somewhere in a forest with a hoverbike and some scraps from the ship.

Former Vak may or may not be possible. Vaktovians in this game will, for the most part, be emotionless. They're not much more than skilled zombies. However, since the plot is undeveloped, that could only apply to the lesser soldiers. The high ranks will definitely have personalities. Also, when Vaktovians attack, they strike mercilessly and do much more damage than trashing two ships. Still though, we could have Vaktovians see him as a high-priority threat. Then again, there aren't that many humans remaining to begin with.

If you want your character to be Ex-Vak, please change his backstory up a bit. The manhunt for him is interesting, however the rest almost competes with the plot.

>OPTIONAL: This character meets the mute character after he battles Vaks for the 3rd-10th time. He can craft things for you and sometimes may acompony you into battle (exepct most bosses).

Interestingly, VAK battles will never be random encounters, so this may be possible in some way. Unfortunately, the bulk of the Vak battles are toward the end with some fights only occasionally happening. There are other monsters, and although Vaks are the main enemy, they aren't the only threats.

He could be an unlockable character after defeating a boss character/Vaktovian. Mind giving me a physical description of him?

Also, crafting MAY be possible, but it will be on the bottom of my priorities. I'll keep it in mind though, as I love the idea.


Overall, the creativity is only average, however it's better than what most people come up with. I love some of these ideas! Please expand and fix this character.

Actually, Min, I need you to decide on either an ex-Vak or elemental abilities.
