I've just remembered about this thing...sorry Aurv., you're still waiting...
...I've decided on the names btw...though as for the Raphael/Jason and Cecily/Emilia ones we can vote for them...hell, let's vote on all of them.
Everyone involved in this put forward the names you think people should have (you too Wed, if you're reading this), and we'll have a vote on them.
The names I've got are:
- Raphael (main guy; Black Mage)
- Cecily (main gal; White Mage)
- Azrael (second main guy; Swordsman)
- Kirma (party member; Red Mage)
- Kara (party member; Thief)
- Leonardo (party member; Animal Tamer/Trainer)

A sidethought, what do people think about having party members that aren't permanent but appear as the game goes on. A good example of this is (from Kingdom Hearts 1) Aladdin in Agrabah, or Tarzan in Deep Jungle, or Jack Skellington in Halloween Town etc.
The thing we'll have to do then though is make it the game so that it can happen...which is where our scripter would come in. He or she would take the thing I'm writing, and add to it ideas from everyone else, and put it into script form. For example (quick 30 second job here, but it puts across what I mean)
Tutorial: On boat, how to move etc. (- in game tutorial guy = BlueCube???)
Intro scene: Boat wrecked in storm, Raph. awakes on land.
[Short play modey bit: (Could be used as a tutorial instead of the boat tutorial) move about, ends when you stumble upon pack of wolves]
Cutscene: Raphael running from wolves and killing them with magic. Ends when he slumps against the gates.
Cutscene: Guard on top of wall looks down and sees Raphael against gate.
Play time: Control guard. Pick up Raphael and carry him through town to the Inn.
And so on. The cutscenes will have to be scripted like a film script or play script. If no-one wants to do that then I can do it (scripting the cutscenes), but we really need someone to script the story and ideas into a script to be turned into the game.
