    Default ZIN: Action RPG Project

    I've been working on this for some time now, but I'm finally resolved to finish it. So far, I'm working on a basic outline for the story, finished the background stories for the 11 playable characters, and now I'm working on the background stories for the major npcs.

    -------------------------------------

    Plot

    Spoiler warning:
    After witnessing the gradual death of the universe, angels have decided that the only way to save existence is to exterminate the beings that harbor the most negative energy. The human race is on the list for elimination. Humanity was on the brink of extinction due to the Angels' crusade. However, three of the most powerful angels took pity on humanity and traveled to the mortal realm to prepare them for war against their kind. They taught the humans how to unlock their spiritual potential, thus allowing them to push their mental/physical abilities to the limit. This new awakening came to be known as the "Fruits of knowledge". Over time, the humans who rebelled were ready to face off against the angels who sought out to destroy humanity. A great war waged against human and angel. With the support of their guardians, the humans eventually managed to fend off against the angel attack. Humanity gave praise to their saviors and named their three planets after each of the saviors. The books of Z.I.N was later written which told the story of humanities struggle for survival and freedom.

    Over 33 thousand years have passed since the first spiritual war. The three savior angels vanished mysteriously. Humans' moment of victory didn't last long due to a new problem arising. The inner cores of the three planets have begun to lose a significant amount of energy. Left unchecked, all life would cease to exist. Humans adapted to this issue by using the soul as an alternative energy source for the planets. The governments that rule the planets assign various groups of people the role of being a human battery. These human batteries are placed in camps buried miles beneath the planets' surfaces. Their souls feed the planets' inner cores. As a human battery, their life span is decreased by 3/4 that of the average human. Some slaves lose their ability to use their souls as an energy source. They are called dead batteries. These slaves are given the chance to become a citizen by competing against other dead batteries as a gladiator. A dead battery can also gain citizenship by serving as a soldier or demon hunter.

    Now enter a young man named Rio Blade, who happens to be a human battery since birth. Lately he's been having a re-occurring dream about a beautiful woman during his soul draining sessions. One day, he loses his ability to provide energy to the planet's inner core. He is now labeled a dead battery and brought to the planet's surface. After having all the basic knowledge uploaded to his brain, he now has two goals. The first goal is to become a citizen, the second goal is to find the woman in his dreams. Things get complicated when a) He becomes a target of an unknown enemy b ) He gets sent to an unknown dimension c) The humans declare war against angels to settle the score once and for all.

    Character Profiles: (4/21/15)

    (Note: Many of the names are very weird and abstract, there's a reason for it.)

    Spoiler warning:
    Rio Blade - This is the main character. He is born a slave, but always tries to be optimistic about his situation. He has two friends in his life that he treasures dearly. However, things start to change for him once he gets visions of a woman. The more the dream reoccurs, the more he regrets being a slave. Before he can come up with a plan to escape, the slave masters tell him that he is no longer capable of being a human battery. He is branded as a dead battery and brought to the surface. Some of his potential is unlocked by authorities, and he sets out to become a citizen in order to find the woman in his dreams and fulfill the promise he made with his friends. Rio is a naive person by nature, the culture shock of living as a dead battery will make him mature as his adventure unfolds.

The war lasted for years, but the aliance managed to wipe out all but one child. Ala was too powerful to kill. After witnessing her clan slaughtered, she went berserk and masacred half of the infiltry. The remaining half frightened by the girl's power retreated. They decided that since they managed to defeat the vampires, leaving her alone wouldn't jeapordize their victory. That was 1000 years ago. Over the years, her anger faded and she got over the tragedy. In repentance for not being able to save her clan, she sealed her own powers to that of a normal being.

Other than his skills on the battlefield, Kent doesn't have any attributes. Once he earns citizenship, he plans to become a shut in and immerse himself in entertainment media. He gets along with most of his colleagues, but for some reason he tends to avoid Ula Crad. He doesn't understand her logic of remaining a soldier and wants to stay away from people like her. However, one day he ends up being stuck with her and Rio as a team.

    Maiah Tenteri - An elf from Atlantis who is down on her luck. She failed her magic knight exam for the 10th time and is at the end of her wits. Just as she was about to give up, she meets Rio who encourages her not to quit. After a certain incident happened while they were in the midst of conversation, Maiah realized that Rio was adept at using magic. It was then that she started calling him master and wouldn't leave him alone until he taught her how to conquer magic. However, she is too dense to realize that she doesn't fail the exams because she can't master magic, but because it is too powerful.

    Angelise - Angelise is an angel who managed to escape from the USZ headquarters. However, she suffered major damage upon escaping and most of her power lies dormant due to the trauma. Rio spots her in a nearby forest and gives her care. After waking up, she realizes that she has found what she was searching for. She calls Rio the messiah and prophesised that his destiny is to save the universe from dying. Reluctant at first, he gave in and accepted her as a guardian. His only requests are that she stay out of sight from the public, and not hinder his goal to become a citizen. She has a bit of amnesia resulting in her not remembering her name or past. Rio gave her the name Angelise.

    Lucifer - As the leader of all angels, Lucifer receives direct instructions from the holy spirit. One of the commands he receives is to watch over humanity. However, that command changed when the great drift started. In order to save the universe, the Holy spirit commanded Lucifer that he control the sentient mortals to subside the negative energy that is affecting its functionality. He did as he was told, but three powerful angels didn't agree with his plan and stood in his way. He was forced to halt his mission. Thousands of years later, the Great Drift continues and many galaxies have disappeared. Lucifer lost all hope until he received word from the Holy spirit that there is another way to save the universe. What Lucifer plans to do, and how it will affect Rio remains a mystery.

    Zeus - Even though Lucifer is in charge of the affairs of Angels, Zeus is considered to match his power. As rivals, they often fight over affairs, but it always ends up a tie. Despite their differences in perspectives regarding mortals and guiding them, he respects Lucifer and often lets him take charge. However, things changed when Lucifer decided to apply his logic in real time by enslaving the humans. Zeus felt Lucifer's plan had to be stopped, but he knew fighting him head on wouldn't work. He was at a loss of what to do until Nike proposed to him a solution. Together along with Ianus, they headed to the mortal realm to assist the humans and prepare them to fight for their freedom. After the first spiritual war, Zeus vanished. To this day, no one knows what happened to him.

    Ianus - Ianus is a high ranking angel known as the "Beginner and ender of life". Before the spiritual war, he created and assigned familiars to other angels. He also served as an executioner, dealing with rogue angels who rebelled against the order of things. Since he favored the humans he was monitoring, he refused to participate in the cleansing. For the first time, he felt powerless as he watched humanity get annihilated. When Nike suggested to help the humans, he was the first to accept the offer. After the first spiritual war, he disappeared without a trace.

    Nike - A powerful angel regarded as the "Bringer of victory". She has an attraction for both Zeus and Lucifer, which led to a long, agonizing love triangle. In the end, Nike chose Lucifer as a partner. At first she couldn't be happier, but her ideals about the mortals matched more wtih Zeus than with him. So when Lucifer sent angels to enslave mankind, she broke things off with him and was the first to instigate a rebellion with Zeus and Ianus. After Spirtiaul war I, she helped rebuild human society on her corresponding planet, and then left to never return.

    Alliances (3/6/15)

    Spoiler warning:
    These are the various organizations in the ZIN universe. Each organization has specific goals that they feel are important for their cause.

    United Satellites of ZIN (USZ) - This government makes up the combined forces of all three planets. Their main focus is to handle the knowledge necessary for keeping Angels from enslaving humanity. This knowledge includes studying captured angels, grafting spiritual scripts for stronger weapons/armor, teaching soldiers effective fighting styles, etc. The USZ is also responsible for hosting the slave plantations used to power the three planets' cores. This is the oldest alliance ever formed spanning thousands years in the making. After Spiritual War 1 (SW1), top leaders of the USZ separated and created organizations that satisfied their ideals. Some of these organizations are at war with each other today. However, the remaining members continue to work towards the greater good of humanity. Since the army only deals with Angel trespassing affairs, the army doesn't get involved with any civil wars between countries or planets. They do however hire any organizations willing to support their cause. They are secretly planning to start a second Spiritual War with the angels. However, they must first locate Purgatory. Once they do, all angels will be on their hit list.

    Fallen Angel Alliance(FAA) - These are lower ranked angels who fought with the three savior angels to protect humanity from their own kind. They live isolated from human civilization ever since SW1 ended. Many people fear that they will start another war and once again try and enslave humanity. Because of this fear, the USZ keeps close tabs on them. This organization only fights when being threatened by other organizations. Other than that, all they seek is acceptance from humans. Although there are some party members who violate the rule of never harming humans. The FAA makes it their duty to help humans weed out the bad seeds.

    Demon Alliance (DA) - These are groups of angels who like the Fallen angels remained on the three planets. Unlike the FAA, they harbor ill will towards humans. They do everything from killing them to raping them. Their mating spree over the course of generations is the leading cause of the present lost soul population problem. Satan is the leader of the organization. DA is in constant civil war with FAA in a struggle for supremacy. Their philosophy is that a balance of chaos and peace will save the universe. They use chaos as a means to keep the moral spectrum stabilized.


    The Calling Bureau (TCB) - TCB is a group of evangelists who actually collaborate with the DA by enacting in violence against citizens. They are against slavery and has made it their mission to end it. While their cause seem noble, their rationality for their actions are just as warped as the DA. At first, they weren't taken seriously and given the nickname The Crazy Bastards. However, the USZ had to step in when their actions started getting extreme. They turn out to be tough adversaries. The group is lead by an ex USZ leader.

    "-The planets are named after the three angels that saved humanity from doomsday: Zeus, Ianus and Nike."

    o.O since when was Zeus an angel? oh and nice use of a shoe brand there. lol

    overall, seems a bit of an odd setup to me but whatever, good luck and all that. maybe if it's released or theres any pics or something it'll make more sense.

    I'm twisting the religion folklores and centering them all on Christian concepts. Did you know that Pagans and Christians did a collaboration? In order to convert people to Christianity, they apparently made it seem as though the Genesis story leaves off where the story of Thor ended.
