Endless Perspective

CJ Darkanjel · Mythology Intro (Thu Sep 28, 2006 2:26 am)

Disclaimer: Please don't respond to this until you've read ALL of it.

In the beginning there was nothing, null, void, except a single concept. This concept, came to be known as God. This concept, for reason's we can only speculate, created reality, and upon it he created a planet, to harbor the peak of the universe's potential. He unwittingly created another concept of equal power:Death.

The earth started out as a solid rock, and in its creation, the entity Gaia was born. Then mighty oceans grew across its surface, and so Poseidon was born. Than nature came into existance, and thus melody was born. Than the spark of life was ignited and the earth sprang into motion, and thus Asmodeus was born.

Each time the earth became more complex, a new entity was created to be its patron and soon there was ten. They combined their energies to create a new creature. This creature came to be known as a Demon. Demons were physcally strong, all had an equivallent intelligence, and the entities gave them attributes like that of animals in order to enhance them. These demons were a perfect society, and it time they became proud, and shunned the rest of the earth. The secluded themselves to miniverse under the surface of the earth, where they hoped to live forevermore, not bothered by the surface world.

The entities saw there mistake in the demons, and created a new creature, the humans. Humans, were not uniform like the demons, their actions, could be seen as bad by some and not others. They we're given the potential to be greater than the demons, but not given the raw ability to begin with. And so humanity prospered, and grew. However, in the creation of humanity, two more entities came into being. Ultima, and Omega. Ultima was the embodiment of absolute good, a shining femmine creature with a masked face and a Mighty sword. Omega was the embodiment of absolute evil, a humanoid featurless mass of shadow.

These two entities, polar opposites, began to fight each other, and as their the aftershocks of the war spread, soon the other entities were drawn into the war as well. The earth was thrown into chaos as its patrons fought each other. One entity chose to protect the earth instead of fight the war. This entity was Meteor, the Avenger. And he successfully fended off the effects of the Celestial war, at the cost of his left arm. His might left sword, fell to the ground, where it shattered, its celestial power sealed away.

In the end, Omega was tricked into donning the Armor of Sealing Power, granting him power above all others, at the price of his free will. Omega pacified, the war ended, for the celestials at least.

The celestial war provoked the demons into peaking into the surface world once more, and they found a new race had a replaced, an inferior race at that. In a rage, the demons invaded the surface world, and starting massacring every human they could find.

Humanities, ingenuity won out in the end, and with weapons and cleverness, they conquered the demons. A warrior queen struck her sword through the demon kings chest, and the war was thought to be over. However, the queen was mortally wounded by the demon king, and with his last breath, the king of demons placed a curse upon her blood, and on all of humanity, so that the demons would have vengeance.

Cool! When I have time, I'll try to re-write it so it's shorter, and I'll add how it should play out (at the beginning of the game).

Make sure you can correspond it with images.

Switch · (Sun Oct 01, 2006 6:32 am)

I know. I'm exited about the summons thing... making pictures of the Earth being created will be kinda fun, and I may even do little animations...
____________

In the beginning, | there was nothing...

A complete void, | save for a single concept... | Life.

And from life, | reality was spawned, | casting out the emptiness.

But the darkness could not dissapear forever.

Instead, | it coalesced, | growing into another, equally powerful concept... | Death.

Life continued on, though, | creating, as was its purpose, | without knowledge nor credence of Death's existence.

Life soon found an outlet for its power, | and birthed a planet to harbor the peak of the universe's potential...
_________________

OK... There's the first Paragraph... all broken into screens (when there's a "|", it means that those parts fade on a different times, "building" a sentance... like a powerpoint!

CJ Darkanjel · (Sun Oct 01, 2006 4:08 pm)

Sounds good so far. Since you're the artist I guess you get to choose screen breaks, but be sure not to push yourself.

Switch · (Mon Oct 02, 2006 3:58 am)

Yep!

Next couple of Paragraphs:
_________________

The Planet was, at first, a solid ball of rock, | and in its creation, | the primal entity Gaia was born.

Next, | mighty oceans spread across the globe's surface, | and so Poseidon, | lord of the seas, came into being.

Then nature began to grow, | carpeting the planet's surface, | and bringing about Melody.

Finally, | the Planet sprung into motion, | igniting the fire of at Life's core, | and birthing Asmodeus.

Thus, Life had been realized, | and was no longer only a concept. | It was Earth.

Death, however, was bound into the planet, as well, | and the primordial forces from which the universe had been created | now worked in an everlasting cycle of existence.

As the Earth evolved, | it became more and more complex, | and with each new complexity, | a new entity was formed

(Names of the higher Summons listed here, with pictures)

Ten higher beings, | each representing a unique aspect of the Planet.

These entities soon combined their powers, | birthing a new creature: | The Demon.

Demons were perfect; | strong physically, | clever mentally, | and completely equal, | save for their physical forms.

(The animal thing will be shown in the pictures.)

This perfection, however, | would be the Demons' greatest plight.

They built a perfect society, | and shunned the rest of the planet, | locking themselves away beneath the Earth's surface.

Here, they hoped to live forevermore, | not bothering with the surface world anymore.

This is getting better and better, but again, do you really want to have this many opening pictures?

Switch · (Mon Oct 02, 2006 4:22 am)

Yes. I do. Really.

Every time I think about actually making this game, I end up thinking about all this really complicated, extensive stuff, and I think, "Wow... this would be AWESOME to play!" It keeps me going.

CJ Darkanjel · (Mon Oct 02, 2006 4:27 am)

funny, it doesn't seem to get you to make sprites any faster. Now THAT would be nice.

Switch · (Mon Oct 02, 2006 4:30 am)

I just can't seem to make sprites without a reference. Otherwise, I would SO do it. Maybe. Probably only if I had sufficient time.

CJ Darkanjel · (Mon Oct 02, 2006 4:33 am)

how hard is it to get jimmy to swing a sword a couple times under a camera?

Switch · (Mon Oct 02, 2006 3:39 pm)

That's not the hard part; have the time to get together an do it is harder.

CJ Darkanjel · (Tue Oct 03, 2006 2:55 am)

okay, how hard is it to set a time for you guys to hang out long enough to accomplish the previously stated procedure?

Switch · (Wed Oct 04, 2006 3:36 am)

Harder than you'd think.
_______________

The ten Aspects of the Planet saw their mistake in the demons, | and soon they created a new creature... | The Humans.

Humans were different from the Demons. | They were not uniform; | they all had different personalities and unique views. | The humans also did not have the natural physical strength | or mental prowess as the Demons.

However, | each and every human carried withing them | the potential to be greater than any Demon had been, | was, | or would ever be.

And so humanity prospered, | and grew. | However, humanity's existence, | being founded on two basic forces, | brought two new entities into being.

Ultima, the embodiment of absolute good, | and Omega, the embodiment of absolute evil.

These two beings, | polar opposites, | began an epic battle, | sparking a great, celestial war.
