After having a complete change of heart, I've decided to COMPLETELY re-work this game. I've decided to rewrite the entire storyline, completely. As a result, all information regarding this game prior to this post is now invalid. However, I've decided to keep the game's name "Dead Rose".

Storyline


 
Spoiler: ShowHide

^Temporary Title Screen

It's the year 2007. In Kyuk, Ontario, a series of bizarre murders have occured. You play as a 17 year old high school student (whom you name) as bizarre incidents occur. One of the main character's close friends, Daniel Uy, disappear. Worried, the MC gathers his friends and searches throughout the city, looking for him. Checking an alleyway, the MC notices a trail of blood. Following it, he notices the corpse of his friend. The MC notices a figure running away. In a fit of rage, the MC chases after it. After cornering the figure, the MC is shocked to find that he was chasing after a ghost. The ghost confronts the MC, and is unphased by the MC's attacks. The MC is defeated but is unable to accept that he cannot avenge his friend's death. The MC summons a powerful ally, the soul knight, Azriel. Utilizing the soul knight's power, he defeats the ghost. Walking back to his dead friend, the MC is suddenly disturbed by a new sight. Looking past the alleyway and into the streets of Kyuk, he sees spirits walking amongst the living. A young female spirit notices him and approaches. She senses the MC's confusion and begins to pester him with questions.

"You seem confused. Did you just recently die?" She asks him.

Puzzled, he replies back, "Dead? I never died.. I'm still alive. What's going on?"

Taken aback, the girl is even more curious in the MC. She explains to him, the phenomenon of the spirit world and how it's parallel to the living world. She then explains that normal humans can't see spirits, let alone talk to them. But she then comments that the MC had a particular scent that drew her to him. In disbelief of what the girl said, the MC approaches a normal person. He attempts to touch them when he suddenly phases through them. Suddenly, the girl notices a sudden rift in the spirit world. She explains that rifts have been opening up through the spirit world and it's been making the spirits restless. She comments that there was a small rift in the alley the MC came from. The girl shows the MC the rift. Out of curiousity, the MC reaches out to touch the rift. Suddenly, there's a flash of light and the MC is unable to see spirits anymore. The MC's friends arrive shortly afterwards. They call the police and inform them that their friend was found dead. And then they later bring the MC back home where he is completely exhausted. Piecing together what has transpired, he suspects that the spirit world is related to the bizarre murders that have been occuring lately. Determined to prevent more deaths from happening, the MC begins his investigation!

In an effort to prevent more deaths occuring, the MC begins his investigations of the spirit world and its relations to the murders.


Claire Tessa
Spoiler: ShowHide


One of the MC's best friends. She is the same age as the MC. She has known him since preschool and have been close friends ever since. She is a happy go lucky girl and has many friends. She is very passionate and committed. She has felt guilty over the death of Daniel, feeling as though that she could've done something. She's one of the first people to suspect the MC's intentions and decides to help him in his investigation. She summons the soul knight Anahime.


Lynn
Spoiler: ShowHide


A mysterious spirit girl. She's the first spirit to interact with the MC. She explains the phenomenon of the spirit world and acts as a sort of guide to the protagonists. She's treated as the "little sister" of the group and can be considered as a "mascot" character. Not much is known about her except that she is searching for the souls of her dead parents.


Justin Regdul
Spoiler: ShowHide


Another student at Kyuk public high school. He is the same age as the MC. He plays as a defensive lineman in the school's football team, the Frosthounds. He's fairly big in size and looking from simply outer appearances, can be quite intimidating. However, he's very relaxed and funny. He's good friends with the MC and Claire. Even though he didn't know who Daniel was, he still helped the MC look for him the day that Daniel went missing. When Claire confided in him about her suspicions of the MC, he decided to help out the MC. He summons the soul knight, Valcos.


Reiko Inozawa
Spoiler: ShowHide


A mysterious student who just transferred into Kyuk public high school. She's a year younger than the protagonist. She's japanese and nigerian. Although, her physical traits resemble more of her japanese blood. Ordinarily, she is just another student at the public high school. However, it is interpreted that she is introverted and a little odd. There have been instances when other students witnessed her speaking with an imaginary being. The MC encounters her at the spirit realm. She summons the soul knight, Harumi.

Yes, there's a lot of 0%s. This is mostly due to me completely reworking this game into a different one. I'm finishing development of the story before I get into any actual hands-on work. Also, I'm finishing some of the aesthetic parts, such as battlers. After all the characters have been drawn, I will be looking into spriting tutorials to make my own sprites.

Valcos

I thought we changed the name of the father. It wasnt Valcos for a while now, if i remember correctly xD.

In what way? It'd be nice to have a direction ._.

Calintz

Well maybe nothing thus far I guess ...
You do have the title screen listed as temporary ...

Mainly the title screen.

Fallen Angel X

Ahahahaha, yeah, I noticed my title screen is crap. That's why I labelled it temporary. I'm brushing up my photoshop skills, so yeah.

Oh, and added a picture for Lynn and created a logo.

Fallen Angel X

Created another temporary titlescreen ._. Still doesn't look much better, though, I think it's improving... a little. Oh, and added a new character, "Reiko Inozawa" and added a picture for Justin. Also, I added a progress list.. though, I'm still just starting out.

Calintz

Hmm ...
Just add some professional level coloring and that title screen would actually be very nice!!
