Story:
From the beginning of time, man has feared all that is different. The magi have witnessed much over the years. Acts, such as the witch trials have for a long time forced the Magi into hiding along with the races they created. This would continue until the year 2007 when a Magi decided it was time for a change. His name was Hayloskien and he had overtaken death itself and became the first known beyonder,to fuel his uprising. Other Magi attempted to stop him by revealing themselves to the governments of the world and coming to an agreement. In exchange for technology created by the magi(while normal society was limited by religion and politics), the governments would fund and build several hundred schools for finding and training other Magi hidden amongst the populous to counter Hayloskien and his growing army. This started a war between the two factions. The war continued for several generations, yet the system held. Then the world witnessed the full power of the beyonders as an entire country was annihilated amidst a battle between two beyonders on live TV. The result chaos gave Cornelius Graham the chance he'd been awaiting. With ill gotten powers taken from the blood of Hayloskien he not only pulled the churches of the world together under his cross, but took hold of the governments as well. He unified them giving himself control of the world. All other details are lost to history.
Current World:
The Church of Graham is the only remaining religion,all else is considered occult. Magi and the races they created are allowed to live in peace. But there is a plot below it all. Allowing Magi to live freely allows the church a better chance indoctrinate them upon their awakening. The church has their hands in most of the worlds affairs. Most quests a church member will accompany you. They can be a great help unless you awaken. Then your character will have two choices, join or run for your life.
All Beyonders have a name, that is theirs upon awakening. Cornelius Graham's is Blasphemy. It is no mystery why those within the church do not accept these names. All members of the church have one other binding placed upon them. The cross all Beyonders amongst the church are required to carry is bonded to their body. Any attempt to separate from it results in death. It also goes off if they make any stand against the church or Graham. It is forced upon all Beyonders no matter how they join. Some choose death.
However there is hope for a Beyonder. Many of the cults are lead by one Beyonder or another. Their homes are often sanctuary for the newly awakened whether you join them or not. Also,the only way the church members will recognize you as a Beyonder is if you use any of the abilities you receive during or after awakening or take on the forms some of them bestow.
The ultimate haven for the Beyonders is Asgard. Finding it is a riddle though. If you do find it you will be safe from the church. If it suits you there is another option. You can bring down in a massive fireball. Of coarse keep in mind that it will be well guarded from this.
Before you choose a side there is something to keep in mind. Some of the Beyonders on both sides(including Graham) have been around for over a thousand years. I should tell you a Beyonder at third awakening stops aging,some even revert to a younger state.
Terminology
-Magi:Person born with magic drawn from one of several different sources, elemental and man-made.
-Beyonder:A Magi that has reached a level beyond that of their limit. Breaking into a whole new level of power
-Awakening:The process a Magi's body goes through to become a Beyonder, in which a percentage of the cells in the body are replaced with cells made of pure energy. This allows the character to store more power and wield more drastic abilities. There are three of these total for each race and magic type.
-Excalibur(as a type of item,not the legendary sword):When multiple magic weapons are forged together an excalibur is created. Only a powerful the power of a Beyonder can create an excalibur
-Other Terms:Awaiting questions

note:Items on map are there for testers to help me test everything as I work on it.(Including the Pablo,slimes, they give high exp, for helping me test, leveling awakenings(class change) and they have very low stats) All items will be removed in final stage(except for ones that are actually suppose to be there like the sword in the cave).
Anything else you need to put out, or extra info (website, forums):
Current Crew:
Scriptors:Me and Ryono
Other position:Done by me until can find someone for the slots
All I require is commitment and that when I ask you to do something that you try everything possible to get it done before saying it can't be done. I figure experience can be gained as long as you have the right mentality and it's not like I'm on a deadline here. If you want to do my tilessets then by all means do my tile sets, even if you don't do well at first I will help you as much as possible until you can do it up to standard(which is by the way the point they would be in the game).

personally I'd just experiment with the existing layer settings each type of equipment and set them as whatever works best for you,helmet slot for capes and such as that…otherwise I am pretty sure you're into source territory.

*shrug*

paint + copy and paste,if you use the sprite sheet as a template it's not that hard
-
me or you? :huh:

Wow never thought of using pieces of enemies(or their excrement)
-
Include 1 for every catagory you can, and please no negatives of the creativity of others.
Mine:
Weapon:teddy bear
Shield:chest lid
Helmet:burlap sack
Armor/pants:belly dancer outfit -
Tis true,we don't know which leaves a stunning lack of proof. However, something to keep in mind is almost all cultures believe in spirits on some level. So it can not entirely be dismissed.
-
Oh well,any other ideas? Anyone?
you might want to skim the tutorials in the different sections as well as the request threads. -
I always tilted more towards Don Quixote myself. The world he dreamed of really was more inspiring then the comedy of his actions. Not too mention, redemption is not heroism. It is a lesson, if not for yourself,then for whoever receives your story. Hercules should be a lesson about self control.
and homosex, really? Don Quixote dreamed a bar-wench into a princess and Hercules was a womanizer,so how you figure?
what of your opinion Renzo? -
Who is more the hero? Don Quixote for Seeking heroism and achieving only ridicule, or Hercules for achieving heroism while seeking redemption?(read non-Americanized Greek mythology, Hercules was an ill-tempered brute.)
-
It may have been left field, but it actually is within range of the original topic. You'd have to dump modern interpretation to see it though.
-
someone else may have a better idea, but you might be able to create a scripted npc for this. Just make it teleport to an off map location for a set time. Of coarse this means you'll need a bookcase sprite.

There a kid is watching TV and a commercial for your game comes on. What music is playing in the background?
Mine-Forsaken by Disturbed,Queen of the Damned soundtrack -
Spiritualism,levels of the self.
-Body and physical energies visible amongst light.
-Mental energies generally to fast to be seen in noticed environment, unnoticeable in an external circumstance such as "psychic powers"
-Spirit or soul energy, pure and completely untraceable, thus not believed to exist to the general scientific.
Unfortunately the only real proof because of this either way is a stunning lack of proof from the other faction. This comes down to the real truth. Proof is a child's game. We are going to believe what we believe and your findings(as in most debated matters) are going to be dictated by your bias.
Side note:whoever it was that made a comment about my story up there needs to read again. I didn't know that he was dead until a WEEK AFTER I saw him. -
okay,I'm used to rpgmaker… and if you set somethings speed to 0 it doesn't move. Sorry for butting in.

My Story(one of anyway):I had a friend who contracted some serious lung disease after high school. He kept getting worse and worse(found out later his mom was selling his meds for drugs and then smoking them around him).Anyway,I moved away for 6 months, and a few days after I came back I saw him walking down the street and he looked like his old self,I thought he was doing better. Found out the week after that he had been dead for a few months.

wouldn't this work
```
Call npcmoving( MapNum, MapNpcNum, direction, Speed)
```If you set the speed to 0? -
personally I want to add one
Sprite Size:(Not player visible,I need it to seperate my equipable items. My sprites Are made around one of two bases,a small and a large and it would be nice to be able to tell the menu to use that fact to determine if a class can or can't equip. I was thinking of using two for this)
