Introduction * ******************* First of all, this is not a real game. This should be very apparent to you, because it most probably is showing up along with IAQ's, or other walkthroughs for games that don't exist. This I wrote thinking how I would like to design my own video game. The best way to do that, in my opinion, short of actually making one, is like this. The battle system, characters, story, all of this was created by me (and I'd damn appreciate it if it all stayed on my own work), made so that it could act as a guide for a real video game. But, this is just for fun. In which case, many people will hopefully read this, get a kick out of how good or bad they think it is, and everybody is happy. Faith Torn Asunder is a game based on religion. As its name may demonstrate, it is a game on how what one may believe in may very well be the wrong thing. Or the right thing, there is no way of knowing. It's all about having faith. However, what would happen if your "god" turned out to be something entirely different than you had thought? What would happen to your faith, then? Would you just switch over to a new god, or would your faith be entirely "torn asunder"? ************** * 2.

Battle System * ******************** The battle system is quite like many RPGs, in the mode of commands. You may only have three characters in your party at any time, and you must always use Cedric. Sometimes, in special cases, you have to use one other person, leaving only one free character. So it is best to level each character up evenly. The commands, as stated before, are mostly similar to the way RPGs normally do them. There is Attack, the basic function where one attacks with their equipped weapon. Damage dealt is affected by their weapon, strength, and whether or not they get a critical attack. Another function is Defend. All damage is dealt to zero for one round (except magic and skills, which are halved), and whoever uses Defend cannot do anything else but remain in their defensive position. Also, Item. Simple to explain, any item that can be used in one person's inventory (each party member may carry fifteen items) is used on any target character. Effects of the item depend on the individual item used. The final function, and the most unique, is Ability. This changes with each person (more on that in Chapter 6) in both name of the ability, and what kinds of ability may be used. When ability is selected, a separate screen is brought up. This screen lists the different abilities the person has. Each ability has a maximum amount of times it can be used, a small meter called AP (ability points). The maximum amount is written after the amount possible to use. For example, if you have used Cedric's Twin Strike attack twice, it will appear like this on the screen: (Twin Strike 13/15), which means that it can be used a total of 15 times, and so far can be used only thirteen more. There are four meters that appear on the battle screen (as well as the menu screen), each one that represents a different thing. The green meter represents HP (hit points). The higher the bar is, the more HP you have out of your maximum. If your HP drops to zero, that party member is 'dead' (See Chapter 8). HP can be replenished a number of ways, items, magic, or being cured by a priest. The red meter represents AP, which was explained earlier. It can only be replenished by using items or by sleeping. The yellow bar is SP (Sleep Points), which shows how tired your party member is. This bar goes down slightly whenever you run around on the world map, or around towns, and whenever you do any action but Defend during a battle. When it gets to zero, all stats go down slightly temporarily. Sleep points can only be cured by sleeping. The final bar, the light blue one, is FP (Food Points). During the game, you must eat. You can either eat the rations that you carry around with you, or eat at restaurants. Restaurants are more expensive, usually, but cure more FP. If your FP bar goes down (it goes down gradually over time, there's no way you can stop it), then your HP depletes slowly, just as if you were poisoned. ****************** * 5. Walkthrough * ****************** ---------------- |Part 1. Prologue| ---------------- ***FMV Begins*** The game's main music starts up, and it shows the starry sky. It pans down to a man wearing red leather armor, a red cape, and red hair, walking down a path. The man is ambushed by a group of monsters, and it shows clips of him fighting the monsters with a two-handed sword. This continues for a few minutes, showing the man finish the very quick battle, walking down the path, and sleeping on a wagon of straw that, too, is travelling down the path. Meanwhile, as the entire FMV goes on, text is written across the screen. "Years ago, the evil Raishen arose from the ranks of the mage's school. Once a student who had shown brilliant power, he is now an extremely strong wizard who will do anything to rule the planet, wiping it free of life to live in what he considers 'Total Peace'. His power became immense when he came across the Ruins of To'krash, and nobody could stop him. Except for one man. Jedra, the hero who has proven himself thousands of times, is given one last challenge of his life, the greatest challenge he will ever face, the greatest challenge to come to man. All know that he is incapable of losing, except for him... and Raishen." The music ends when the man is shown in front of a sturdy fortress, gripping the sword on his back. It is dark, raining, and lightning flashes. ***FMV Finish*** You now control Jedra. You will notice that he is level 80. While this isn't the highest possible, it is still extremely high. Enter the fortress in front of you. There are no chests, and all the doors are locked. So there is nothing to do but go forward. You will run into a few random battles, but you will have to try (and most probably fail) to lose. Keep going forward, and Raishen's voice booms from nowhere: Raishen: "This is what is sent to attack me? A mere human?" Jedra: "You, too, are human, Raishen! We both are nothing but mortal men!" Raishen: "That is where you are wrong, Jedra. Whereas you are a mortal, I have become something better. No longer shall I be held back by a name such as the feeble mortal. I am eternal, Jedra." Jedra: "We'll just see about that!" Keep going forward. Notice there are no random battles. If you really need to, use one of the many items that Jedra has in his inventory to heal yourself. You probably won't need it, though. When you reach the elaborate double doors, know that you are ready to battle Raishen. Upon entrance... Raishen: "Welcome, Jedra." Jedra: (draws sword) "This is it, Raishen! Your reign of terror is OVER!" Raishen: "I think not, Jedra." Jedra: "En garde!" **Boss Battle**************************************************************************** * Name: Raishen * * HP: 100,000 * * MP: 999 * * * * Absorbs: none * * Strong: none * * Weak: none * * * * XP: none * * Items: none * * * * Notes: This is a very generic battle.

Just do NOT die before the really powerful * * spells are being belted out, because that one counts. * ***************************************************************************************** After the battle, both Raishen and Jedra are breathing hard. Raishen: "I must admit, you are a powerful foe. However, Jedra, you are far from my equal!" (Raishen blasts Jedra with a magic attack, knocking Jedra back) Jedra: "Damn! He's too strong! I can't defeat him like this!" (Raishen blasts Jedra with another attack, knocking him off the podium which they fought on) Jedra: "I can't kill him... but I can do the next best thing!" ***FMV Begins*** Jedra holds his hands out in front of him and begins to chant. Raishen: "What are you doing!?" Jedra ignores him, continuing his chanting. Raishen: "How DARE you ignore me!?" Raishen begins to charge for one final spell, but Jedra beats him to it. A small black hole appears between his outstretched hands, then fires towards Raishen, growing to the size of a large man in diameter before it reached him. Six runes appear around the black circle, and each one flashes Red, Green, Blue, Brown, White, and Black, then once in unison, and the black circle encloses itself, taking Raishen with it. When the circle is fully closed, Raishen and the runes are gone. ***FMV Finish*** The screen blacks out, and once more, narrative text fills the screen. "This battle, now called "Raishen's End", is over. Raishen has been imprisoned, never to come out again. Jedra is hailed a hero, and the masses welcome him with celebration. However, Raishen was not killed, and his power continued to increase inside his prison. "Thousands of years have passed. Over the course of time, Jedra died of old age, as did his son, and his son's son. And there is where his generation ended. However, Raishen's story did not end there at all. The story of Raishen's End changes drastically over the course of five millennia..." --------------------- |Part 2. The Beginning| --------------------- ***FMV Begins*** The camera comes back into focus inside of a large church. It pans around a little, revealing the faces of many people bowed down in silent prayer. It also shows the preacher, a bearded man in grey and purple robes. Finally, the camera shows the face of red-haired Cedric, head also bowed in prayer. ***FMV Finish*** Preacher Vaeneir: "Man had been overcome by greed and self-desire. This was a sin that God could not over look. And thus, man was punished, now without food for two weeks. This forced fasting was very hard on man, but a necessary punishment. However, in these old days, man still demonstrated greed. Man challenged God. And while this truly is a foolish act to do, man was reinforced with powers from the pits of Hell. A horrible daemon, named Jedra. The evil Jedra attacked God, taking the Lord by surprise. And thought Jedra not only was a powerful daemon, and took God by surprise, he proved not nearly strong enough to defeat him. Proven to be the inferior, Jedra used his powers to banish God to a far-away prison. God could no longer deliver the paradise and utopia he had promised, because of the villainous Jedra. And thus concluded Raishen's End. As it is written, as it is proclaimed." Everybody: "As it is written, as it is proclaimed." Preacher Vaeneir: "It is yet another millenium. Every thousand years, God's prison becomes weaker. With the turn of the fifth millenium, it is hoped that God will break free. To punish the wicked and reward the good. So it is written, so it is proclaimed." Everybody: "So it is written, so it is proclaimed." Preacher Vaeneri: "Amen." Everybody: "Amen." Everybody gets up to leave, including Cedric. The computer controls Cedric, taking him outside of the cathedral. It is dark outside. Still being controlled by the computer, Cedric walks down a path of stones, and into a house. Upon entrance: Cedric: "Mom! I'm home!" Mom: (coming down stairs) "Where were you?" Cedric: "At church, remember? You sent me there yourself!" Mom: "That was over two hours ago!" Cedric: "Yeah... it was a boring service, too, something about the millenium and Raishen's End." Mom: "Oh, well. It's dark outside, Cedric. Get to bed." Cedric: "Yes ma'am..." ******************** * 6.

Thanks * ************** Faith "Faye" Nelson (kitra1@hotmail.com) -My girlfriend, who's name you might recognize in this IAQ. She is responsible for the names "Raishen" and "Sethlo", as well. Basically, just a source of encouragement, feedback, and several other, unnamable, though just as important "other" things. ^^ aRkRiSt EnEmIa (arkrist2@yahoo.com) -Leader of the IAQ Club, and yet another source of inspiration. I think it was looking at his IAQs that made me decide to make a "serious" one, myself. He's also helped out greatly in many story line and character development, as well as the title. JeffreyAtW (jeffreyatw@portalofevil.com) -Third and final inspiration; while I had planned on 'creating' a video game for a while, it was seeing his actually written down (the first I've seen) that made me actually write my first IAQ, even if it was a failure... Ragnarork -Once more helping me out by pointing out my many errors in the mechanics of writing this IAQ, making it look much, much better Dan Kauder (dkauder@hotmail.com) -For the name "Rage of the Seven Seas"; Fenrir's ultimate attack Square (www.square.com) -For making great games and filling my damned thick skull with ideas ****************** * 11. Disclaimer * ****************** If one thing ticks me off, it is plaigerism. Leave my stuff alone. Copy none of it. Everything here I made up. Steal it, and I'll get royally pissed off. This goes in two ways; if I stole anything from your site, IAQ, story, etc; know that I didn't mean to. Just tell me, and with some proof that not only was yours written first, but that I copied from IT, I'll change the copied information. Also, I want you to know, that despite religious themes against "god", the names "Lucifer" and "Gabriel", I am not anti-Christ. The fact that I do not believe in any sort of god may help, but I do not want any Christians or the like bothering me with stupid emails about how I should repent and worship Jesus.
