WANT TO CONTRIBUTE TO WORLD ONE? Feel free to PM if you're interested. I'm only really looking to accept mappers, artists (general), musicians, coders, and dedicated testers (ie. people to file error reports and critique literally everything); PM if your skillset is not on this list but you wish to help.
 
STORY: Washed ashore and separated from his crew, Eric finds himself the newest hope for a land that he doesn't even speak the language of. Due to his moral aptitude and his apparent cunning, he is praised as a hero by a small band of outsiders, but the moral grey area begins to grow as betrayal, under-the-table-dealings, an enigmatic virus, and destruction of history happens; every being in Illfog and the land surrounding it seems to have something that isn't quite right about them- Eric must question who, if anyone, is in the right, whilst battling savage monsters, becoming a sex icon, and destroying one red herring after another in a wild goose chase where the clock is ticking.

 

GAMEPLAY FEATURES: For the most part, The Beginning does not offer any traditional battle system (with one or two exceptions), instead going for a visual novel x adventure style. Most things in the gameplay are offered through items and choices which lead to different paths and endings.
 

CHARACTERS:

Eric (playable):

A sailor of 20 who has washed up on the shore of Illfog after being wiped by a violent storm. He was madly in love with his captain, Henri, the 19-year old daughter of his mentor from the Otherworld. He has impressive strength due to his experience on the sea, as well as a strong moral code passed down from his mentor.

 

Jennis:

A young-looking girl who has taken an interest in Eric, assisting him in various tasks. She openly states her goal to marry Eric, as well as wanting to take him to the throne in replacement of the corrupt royal family. She seems to have a latent magical power. Part of the "outside" group.

 

Henri:

Eric's captain, also from the Otherworld. She has gone missing, but Eric claims he still feels her pulse in the air. She keeps everything very professional, but at least favours Eric over the other sailors on her ship, usually leaving him in command while she plans excursions, negotiates with other groups, and the like. Her father mentored Eric before dying to the Beast of the West Sea in the Otherworld.

 

Abby:

A nurse, and the one that found Eric washed ashore, taking care of him. She doesn't appear to be attracted to men, but takes her job so seriously to the point where it's impossible to discern which "team" she plays on. Part of the "outside" group after the murder of her brothers, and the betrayal of her sister.

 

Carver:

A tutor who has mastered a type of aromatherapy that allows him to appear to have not aged a day over 25, bar his hair. He wishes to teach a new generation of heroes, then die protecting them. This reflects his reading pattern of romantic epics. "Outsider"

 

Prince Rylai Ewan: The only one in the royal family who leaves the castle regularly. He suffers from falling out with his mother as he travels farther away on his expeditions. It is believed he has left Illfog several times with a small crew. He is powerful, and the only one publicly know to adeptly harness magical power. He strongly believes in his own, black and white moral code, and sees corrupt people as below worthless, but treats those in his favour with mssive respect. He is on good terms with the outsiders, often feasting with them, and often praises Hood's leadership over his father's.

 

???:

The ghost of a hero who begins haunting Eric. He claims that he has done Eric's quest himself, and failed. He can make his body solid for minutes at a time, but it wears on his celestial body immensely.
