Ember Sky: Restarting

[Phayre]

So after dropping my project (and for some god-awful reason never changing my sig), I've decided to give it another shot. Why start a new topic? Well, the old one was long and buried in crap. I'd rather not go update everything. The fact of the matter is, there will be new facesets, more united graphics, less of me randomly redoing bits and pieces, and more of a decided storyline. The old game has been scrapped, mainly because I lost track of which variable was which, et cetera. I will need help in the following departments, if anyone is willing:

-Music (Vidian offered a while ago.... but not sure if that's still on)
-Battlechars (I just suck at these things)
-Coding (as in, when I'm throwing the laptop out a window because my stupid main character won't walk or some such nonsense)

I'll also repost the story, with all notable changes:

Introduction:
The world of Ember Sky is dictated by two primary forces, Chaos and Reason. Too far into Chaos, and the order of things falls apart completely. Too far into Reason, and the universe stagnates, making change and progress impossible. Charged with the balance of these two forces are the Domierni, a race with access to the workings of this Greater Balance. When a young scientist, Grey Antharos, seeks to further understand the balance so as to improve the lives of humans, he drags himself into ruin and defines the course his partner, Christophe diSayre, will follow for the rest of his life.

Two years after a horrific end to Grey's experiments, Christophe is a lonely drunkard who will do just about anything for money-- except get a real job. Although he thinks his dealings with the Domierni and the supernatural are over, he finds himself repeatedly brought back into everything he had tried to forget. His journey becomes one to find the truth about what happened in the experiments and why, and how he is connected to all of it.

Characters:
Characters:
Christophe DiSayre
Age 25
Weapon: Handgun
Special Skill: Treatment (a treatment used on bullets to invoke status and elemental damage)
Christophe is a down-on-his-luck ex-scientist whose primary hobbies include drinking, cursing, and micromanaging. As a result of a traumatic incident involving his best friend/colleague, Grey, and a test experiment, Christophe is incredibly wary of all things supernatural. Unfortunately, his knowledge of this experiment ties him into a conflict greater than he could have possibly realized.

Caolan Ravendi
Age 17
Weapon: Mage's Gloves
Special Skill: Magecraft
In contrast to Christophe's cynical nature, Caolan presents a front of carefree innocence. He's not as naive as he would have everyone believe, however--- his magic seems to be more of a burden than most mages deal with. On occasion, Caolan is very cryptic, to the point where Christophe never knows how much of Caolan's words to trust. As the story progresses, Caolan finds that even he does not know himself as well as he had thought.

Lyra Elseth
Age 24
Weapon: Sword
Special Skill: TBA
A former general of the royal army, Lyra defects for reasons she has yet to reveal to Christophe. Her brother, Athair, remains one of the army's deadliest generals. Christophe meets Lyra in the city of Huinn, where she warns him to leave town before her brother arrives. Little does Christophe know that Lyra's reasons for warning him have little to do with his own safety.

Athair "Flameheart" Elseth
Age 30
Special Skill: Flameheart (powerful fire-type moveset, better than Caolan's magic)
Weapon: Big red-bladed sword
Athair is considered one of the best younger generals available to the kingdom of Marionna. Despite his strength and reputation, Athair is cheerful and easy-going. Since becoming involved with his new superior, Athair has cut off ties to Lyra and grown intensely close with Arin, who accompanies him on almost every mission. He becomes good friends with Christophe.

Arin "Shadowblade"
Age 22
Special Skill: Shadowblade (dark-elemental sword attacks and magic)
Weapon: Rapier
Arin is well known not only for his status as the youngest of the elite officers, but also for his mysterious origins. All anyone seems to know about his background is that he was found by Athair two years before the events of ES. When angered, he often overreacts, especially when someone he feels responsible for is hurt. During the course of the story, Arin eventually decides to protect Caolan.

Evariste Rainer
Age 16
Special Skill: Heal, Channel
Weapon: Athame
Evariste is the only surviving child of one of Arthei's most prominent noble families. He fancies himself a prodigy, and chose to study healing arts simply because they were the most challenging specialty available. His ability to channel stems from his family's long-seated association with Chaos. He is currently a student at Arthei's prestigious mage academy.

Grey Antharos
Age 34 at death
Grey was a scientist working on a project involving the Domierni, a race of people charged with maintaining balance between chaos and reason. A calm, reserved man, he was Christophe's idol until his death. Grey's project will slowly resurface and once more become the focus of Christophe's life.

Yay!  Ember Sky's back!  Newer storyline sounds interesting.  I could try to write a few pieces for you, but I'm busy of late.  I could take the one song you used for the title and arrange it into different themes.  Anyway, good luck with Ember Sky.

[Prpl_Mage]

I'm sure you can do it this time. Just pop by on the Msn and ask me if there is anything you need help with/want me to do.

[ThexXtremeXx]

if you need any help feel free to ask!

[Roland_Deschain2]

I can code fairly well, so long as it's not for an ABS.... Because I suck a those apparently.

[Phayre]

I don't think I'll be doing any fancy custom systems or battles, simply because it's my first game. AFL, I'll almost definitely take you up on your offer, and I'll probably randomly bug everyone else too. Thanks for the support. The game will get going once the facesets are ready, and hopefully a more organized and focused approach (rather than just OOH! PRETTY! *sticks on map*) will help.

[CoolZidane]

I could help with music if you need it.

[A Forgotten Legend]

I guess I could help and make a soundtrack for the game.

I started a few themes today and put it into one song.  You can use this song if you want, but its just more of "Here are the themes I've made so far!".

EDIT:

It was originally going to be called "An Ember Sky" but, then I found the different themes... so yeah... And I never changed the name. =p.

EDIT AGAIN:

I didn't have that song on this computer, and so I made some from scratch.

Original Post:

Originally from Phayre's Signature[/I]
"I agree with Phayre 1000%." --A Forgotten Legend.... watch your back, Archem

Hahaha. lol.

Hm...  Actually I may start to create a theme for you today...

[Phayre]

It's very nice-- could you do some variations on the theme I've been using for the title screen as well? And did you have anything in mnd when you cooked up this little piece? You're amazing, AFL. *hands freshly made cyberbrownie*

[A Forgotten Legend]

A scene where the characters have just lost someone (not by death or anything like that).

But you could use this in any kind of emotional scene. (Not the super mega ones though.)  Tell me some events by Pm and I'll try to work on some things.  Like I said, those are different themes that I might use in later songs. ^^ *eats cyberbrownie* and yes, I'll do some themes with the title screen song.

[Dominicy]

Honestly, I didn't ever read the plot of the original Ember Sky (I don't know why) But this one sounds pretty interesting.

[Phayre]

I am still working on ES. Rejoice, Charas. Rejoice.

[A Forgotten Legend]

♪♫ Rejoice, rejoice, rejoice Emanuel Charas, and ransom captive Israel Ember Sky...♫♪

[drenrin2120]

Cool, it'd be nice to have some Charas Exclusive Full Games and not all these demos. Keep it up!

[Fisherson]

I'm still willing to do those battlers if you need them. I have most of them done execpt Evarsite and Coalan. Although in  the pakage you sent me you never metioned Chistophe, do you already have a battler for him? If not just send me those sprites and i'll get to work. FWI I'd do it quick, i'm about to go and, hofully get a new coputer and it won't have all my files and templetes on it. If I get it, i'll have to save up for a Flashdrive so I can save Warped and all the games i'm working on.
