Protectors: Shaska

Shaska, the blind rider of Juneizer in my video Game concept "Protectors: Susheru Forest" (need to come up with a better title )
K'al Juneizer Character Sheet

Some of you may recognize this, it's a character development sheet for an old DigiPen project I did back around Halloween of 05. I had an unfinished version of it up in my gallery for quite a while. I just finished this a few days ago...it's taken me a LOOOONG time to get it done. >_>; Most of this is old, especially the line work, but all of the color on the right side is rescent. Yes, she is blind and her eyes look funny, I know, respect her! >:[ Also for a character design sheet to be used as referance for animators, this is bad, so it's just a development and concept sheet, not a design sheet, er whatever I'm trying to say. I've changed her name, her original name was Shakeira, changed it to Sheira, and now it's Shaska for....originality purposes I guess.

I was gonna have you guys just go read the artist comment for Juneizer's sheet if you were interested to know more about the actual game story and play, but then I remembered I have this paper below typed and saved on my computer.
The originial title was "Spirit Protectors...", but I later dropped the "Spirit" x3


Protectors
Susheru Forest

-Protect, and be protected-

Back story:
The Ashes spirit sought to gain more land and destroy it and it’s creatures, through the use of his brainless and deformed minions (which any mortal being can become). The land he, the Old Spirit of Ashes, wanted to rule over was the only place where the sacred K’al’s lived. All that lived in or simply cared about the land, fought back – though many lost their lives and the K'al's are even more endangered then they were before the fighting. Their hides are worth an even greater deal then they previously had been, creating more enemies for them to hide from.
The mighty Spirit Ashes, was enslaved in his own "wasteland", to live for an eternity alone. He was concealed in a Black flower, which later became known as an "Ashes flower". Only one of flesh and blood could set him free, by picking the Black flower from where it grew. And one day, a foolish man wandered onto the land of Ashes and picked the Black flower, setting Ashes free.

Currently, the Susheru Forest is free of tribulation, but all things must eventually come to an end… Dark times are too soon fall upon the land, once again. It’s up to a young K’al, his young blind rider Shaska, and the young forest spirit Susheru to protect and save their home - Susheru Forest – and the rest of the lands and their creatures threatened by the powers of the Ashes' land Spirit.


Objective of Game:
Stop the destruction of the Forest by finding out who and/or what is responsible; Protect/Save the forest and it's creatures, as well as other lands of the world from the Spirit of Ashes land and his misshapen minions of Darkness.

On the side Missions/quests:
• Run errands and do favors for others to gain their trust, respect, make a name for yourself, get information, and get things/supplies you need.
• Travel to; new lands, see and talk with the ruler of the land(s) sbout the situations at hand, go into towns and villages to buy and trade goods, visit people/friends that can help you – train you, feed you, give you shelter, special potions, etc.

Game type:
• RPG
• Action/Adventure/Fantasy (some Sci-Fi)
• Occasional Movie Clips with optional subtitles and skips (K'al's don't talk, they make animal noises, but with voice translations dubbed over the animal sounds)
• Room for sequels! 8D
Game Rating:
• T for TEEN (Violence, Weapons, Blood, Suggestive Themes?)
Game Play:
• Play mostly as Juneizer; with Shaska on your back
• Play as all 3 main characters (Juneizer, Shaska, & the young Forest Spirit Susheru), but the majority of the game is played as Juneizer
• When in towns, stores, and other highly human populated areas, you play as Sheira; and since she's blind, that creates more obstacles for the player to work around.
• Only a few selected 'levels' are played in as Susheru, but there are special ways to unlock hidden levels that can be played by Susheru

Feeling/setting:
• Main Setting: Natural surroundings; mountainous, hilly, evergreen forest, valley
• Color: Green, Blue – Cool Colors
• Civilization: Villages, Kingdoms, rulers
• Other Settings: Dessert, Ocean/Beach, Tropical, Icy land
• Kind-of a cross between STARWARS and The Lord of the Rings ( I guess )

Technology:
• Transportation/Travel; Foot, Animals, early forms of hover mobiles
• Weapons; swords, knives, magic potions, magical weapons, some gun like machinery, sticks, etc.

Character's info, race, special powers, and weapons:

o Race: K'al – an animal, an endangered and mysterious creature that often use to be used in warfare, their hides are worth a great deal in the present day of the game's world

o Special Abilities: Trained in the same fighting style as Shaska, only as the steed
o Info: Named "Juneizer" by Shaska, Male, conservative, driven by feelings, calm, modest, played from birth till death
• Shaska:
o Race: Human, from a Village around the Susheru forest area – a very conservative and 'one with nature' kind-of tribe you could almost say
o Weapons and special trinkets: Dagger, Sword (not obtained until later), potions, a ray gunish thing ( only works every so often – ammo is very scarce and expensive – also not obtained until later), wooden walking stick, Necklace passed down in her family that SUPPOSEDLY keeps her form harm, Special flute that drives off evil spirits, or at least keeps them away at a safe distance (only obtained through trading or buying)
o Special Abilities: Is later on trained in the art of… some ancient fighting style which few know now
o Info: Blind, Female, adventurous, level headed, fun, cautious, ages 10 – 20 through out course of game
• Susheru:
o Race: She's the young forest Spirit of the Susheru Forest
o Special Abilities: She can hover/glide, appear and disappear (only to animals, humans see her as simply a small glowing light), can heal creatures and plants (but needs energy and her feelings effect the abilities of her powers), communicate with all living creatures through thoughts, tap into peoples dreams, and later on inhabit the bodies of mortal beings
o Info: Younger and more inexperienced than most other Spirits, mystical, unpredictable

That's pretty much the jist there; though I have like 20 more pages of written material for it and I'm STILL undecided on alot of stuff. xD
Hope you all enjoyed it though!
