[hider= Plots] [b]Throwing Daggers Plot and Mechanics[/b] Plot: Throwing Daggers is about an expert assassin in France, Ferdinand Vilford, whom tries to stop the 2012 Apocalypse! To do so he must follow God's will through-out the whole game, he has many weapons at his disposal to eliminate those who are to bring doomsday upon the world. The world must be cleansed of evil...... Will you stop Doomsday in the far future of 2012 and will you obey God's will or betray it? Doomsday System: The game has a special system which triggers choices made in the game, depending on what you do accelerates the doomsday system or slows it down, at the end of the game your score will be tallied up by what you bought, how slow you brought doomsday too, and storyline completion! [b]Throwing Daggers II Plot and Mechanics[/b] The year is 1785, only two years after Ferdinand Vilford (Now 28 years of age) has prevented the Apocalypse and followed God's will. God has called upon him to continue his duties one last time, this time to attempt to stop the French Revolution. Will he succeed or fail? Ferdinand must kill those whom are corrupt and those who will cause the French Revolution, Napoleon Bonaparte must be stopped. God will give Ferdinand the power of flight through out the skies, as long as he is not seen or spotted (by non-soldiers/targets) he can fly freely through the air. Wings of Faith System: At one point in the game (about after an hour or two of gameplay) Ferdinand will have the ability to grow huge angel wings from his back and fly through the air, allowing assassinations from the air and quick movement, there is a catch though. Under Ferdinand's health bar is a Faith Meter, you gain points of Faith by doing honorable actions and completing the main story line and side quests. Flying does not drain Faith points, but killing does, to gain points of faith you must visit a Church to redeem yourself or do Religious actions, such as (attempting) to show mercy. If you are seen by a non-soldier or target flying in the sky, you will immediately lose all your Faith points and drop. [b]The Draco's Gems Plot & Mechanics[/b] In the world of Aragonia after the Dawning and the Slaying, Arkoth, the God of the Dragons created six elemental gems, which he named the Dracos Gems; One was of Fire, one of Water, one of Earth, one of the Wind, one of Ice, and one of Lightning. He created these gems as a gift to the mortals as to apologize for what happened. They were scattered all over the earth as so anyone could find them. These gems were extremely valuable, besides for cosmetics uses, the Dracos Gems could be imbued into the blade of a weapon simply by placing it atop the blade, it could be taken out just as easily (by the person who imbued it, of course). Though, Zhiena, the "Goddess" of all Evil decided to create two more Gems as to hide amongst the Dracos Gems, which were referred to as the gems of Darkness and Light. When these two were combined, the person would supposedly receive a single wish from Arkoth and Alkaroth themselves. In reality, it would summon one of Zhiena's minions as to attempt to conquer the world once more. This is the story about how one of Dragonblood, Raphael has to undergo finding these gems as to save his Great Great Great Great Grandfather. Raphael merely lived in the village of Eaglewind, a village in West Argonia. Having lived with his mother until the age of six where she died due to a terrible disease. The village took care of him as he lived alone in the house him and his mother shared, teaching him skills, giving him food and water, and even just chatting with him. Though, when Raphael turned the age of twenty, by now he was a grown man and could take care of himself, he heard a voice calling to him, far off into East Argonia. He left the village, packing himself his sword, which he learned from the guards and soldiers of the Army that passed through the village often, as they trained outside the village. Eventually, he arrived at cave, a huge cave where nothing could be seen and where rumours surrounded it on how this was one of Zhiena's shrines. Inside the cave was a Dragon, Raphael's Great Great Great Great Grandfather in fact, whom was named Roktha. Roktha talked to Raphael about his bloodline and the history of the world which of course was a lot to take in. Roktha told Raphael to search out the Darkness and Light Dracos Gems as to save his life, as Dragon Slayer poison was in his veins. Raphael agreed to undergo the quest to save his Great(x4) grandfather, and was even given proper traveling equipment (See Raphael Magnet in Marketing in one of my posts). Thus, Raphael set out as to search for the Dracos Gems, discovering his Fire Magicks and following Roktha's guidance as to where they may be along the way, as well as searching for the other Six Dracos Gems. Dracos Gems System: The Dracos Gems System allows the player to take one of the gems acquired via the plotline or sidequests and imbue it into their weapon. It will give the weapon magic damaging properties (Fire Gem gives Fire, Ice gives Ice, etc) as well as giving the player three 'Gem Unleash Moves' (which is a big bar divided into thirds) the bar can be filled up by using the imbued weapon constantly or by going back to visit Roktha (It's annoying to go all the way back). Each Dracos Gems has a 1-bar, 2-bar, and 3-bar special. Each 1-bar is an Enchanced Magical Projectile, the strongest in the game. Each 2-bar special is a spread "shot" of projectiles or a powerful spin attack. And each 3-bar special is just a powerful burst of Draconic Magic, giving you a second of invincibility right afterwards it was used. [b]Also used in the Draco's Gems II![/b] [b]The Draco's Gems II: Saviour Plot[/b] Continuing off from the first game, Raphael has returned with the Draco's Gems of Darkness and Light, along with the six other elemental Gems. Upon giving them to his Great Great Great Great Grandfather, Roktha, a demon from the depths of Hell was summoned, the two gems indeed were fake and cost Roktha his life. Raphael attempts to fighting him off but fails and loses the battle, where he is stripped of all his gems as Taranthus flees, his plan is to give them as a gift to Zhiena as well as collect other necessary materials that will make him as powerful as a god, these materials are Dragon's Tears (which he acquired from Roktha) Phoenix Feathers, a High Elf's Heart, and a Kappa's blood. This potion with Zhiena's help will grant Taranthus powers beyond measure. Raphael only barely survived where he goes on as to track down and find Taranthus to stop him. Along the way, Raphael meets a lonely Lycan who goes by the name of Bloodclaw whom is fighting off the Raiders, a group of sick mercenaries who kill, pillage, and destroy anyone and anything in their way. Helped by Raphael and having himself seen and felt Taranthus' evil precense decides to accompany Raphael and help him on his quest. At night, when Bloodclaw went off to hunt, Raphael calmly sat by the fire where a voice spoke inside his head, Arkoth, the god of dragons told him to travel to East Argonia to meet a fire dragon by the name of Atilla as well as himself; Raphael and Bloodclaw were to complete trials to see if they could stop Taranthus, or at least survive. Will Bloodclaw and Raphael stop Taranthus it seems Raphael is to be the Saviour of all of Aragonia. [i]Ending [/i] Taranthus smacked both Raphael and the lycan away as he plucked the last feather of the Phoenix before dropping it into a cauldron. A min iexplosion took place, knocking back everyone. But Taranthus returned to the cauldron and gulped the pink liquid down completely, he glowed with an otherworldy light, before kicking Bloodclaw away, and sending his leg into Raphael's face. Raphael had failed but survived, having woken up in the ruins of Eaglewind, miraculously alive among many other corpses. Bloodclaw was nowhere to be seen, his where-abouts unknown, Raphael looked up at the sky and said, "I have failed you, I have failed all of you, I am not a Saviour but I will be...an Avenger.." The game cuts away into the credits and ending theme.
