I. Transportation:
These are the modes of transportation that are available to the player, ranging from Speed Boots to Teleportation. Characters can only have a couple modes of transportation with them, a list of what can be carried or summoned is listed after each one.

Speed Boots
These Boots allow the party to travel 2x faster over ground terrain but the downside is they have a 50% chance more likely to be surprised due to the speed. Can be always carried.

Motorcycle
This vehicle allows the party to travel 3x faster however it can not go through mountain passes or snow cap areas. May only be summoned in city or airport areas.

Mountain Gear
This gear is located close to the end of the game and give the party the ability of climbing over mountains that were unable to scale before however its only good for mountains or snow cap areas. Can be carried at all times

Car
This vehicle allows the party to travel 6x faster then normal on roads, however it can not go anywhere there is no road. May only be found in cities, at inns or airport areas


Train
Instant travel... but can only go to select destinations. Only found at train stations

Ship
Allows travel across the sea, can not go near reefs or beaches that do not contain docks. Found at docks places with docks, personal ship can be summoned to current dock.

Submarine
Allows travel underwater, may access beaches or underwater docks. Personal submarine can be summoned to current beach or dock

Dragon
Allows travel through the sky, can only land in a clearing or beach type area, can not go over snow caps unless its a white dragon. A summoning horn is always available.

Shadow Step
This allows short jumps in areas available to them so it allows them to get across canyons, or rifts of sorts, also can be used to jump toward a destination, can not go through mountains or other forms of mountain region. Always on possession

Teleportation
Allows for instant access to any place previously visited, or have found the location of the place. Only found at the B.M.C. locations.

Plane
Can only be used at airport access, allows travel over all terrain but can only land at airports.

Airship
Allows access to almost any location that has a flat surface, can fly over mountains and can even travel in the sea, ultimate transportation found late in the game. Summoned with a cellphone

J. Money:
Money also known as Gold Coins (GC) most creatures have GC in one shape or another whether it be items that a character can't use that automatically becomes GC to save time and energy for the player. Characters have a few different ways to gain GC battles are the primary way however the system supports stocks, Gambling and other forms.

1. Battles
Average money value is (A*N*3=GC) Average level of monsters x number of Enemies x 3 equals GC earned this is on the low bell curve so this effect works for all creatures under level 15 every 5 levels after 10 the multiplier goes up by one so level 20 would be (A*N*5=GC) Average level of monsters x number of Enemies x 5 equals GC. Certain enemies like bosses have their own set amount.

2. Stocks
Stocks are a feature found later on in one of the bigger cities, this feature gives the character the opportunity to invest money into particular fields such as Armory, Medical, and Food. These stocks can only be slightly effected by the character which means, a character who buys a lot of medical supplies would make more money if he invested in Medical then Armory. Stock growth is a 50/50 chance so a character can gain or lose money, now depending on how much money they spend on a particular field may make it easier to make extra cash but does not guarantee that they will. Characters must also have their agent Sell their stock if they want the money back, or Buy stock if the market drops in a certain area. Every 1000 GC spent on particular Items in a stock gives a 1% toward that area but takes away 1% from the other stocks, also if a stock sky rockets, which is a 1/100 chance of happening store supplies increase, so certain items that were unavailable before become available. Mathematical increase in amount put in... So in the 50% chance listed here is the break down, 20% chance of a 10% increase in investment, 13% chance of a 15% increase in investment, 7% chance of a increase in investment, 5% chance of a 20% increase in investment, 3% chance of a 25% increase in investment, and a 2% chance of a 30% increase in investment. If a character invests more then 1 million GC and also puts them at a 99% chance of success meaning they much spend 49,000 they receive a 1% chance of doubling their investment. The mathematics go in reverse as well so other stocks go down by said amount if the stock fails. Also for stock purposes each 1% gained by the investment works its way up, so 1000 would just change 20% to 21%, 2000 would just change 20% to 21% and 13% to 14% and so on in that fashion.

3. Gambling
Gambling, this is the easiest way to either gain or lose money, basic types are, Casino, and Arena.
Casino, there are different type of card games ranging from black jack to slot machines, with an average turn out based on character luck and the average win ratio is 1/3 with a 1/37 of a good win, a 1/124 chance of winning big, and a 1/1545. Characters may participate in the Arena, at the risk of losing "Items", when a character goes up for to try for the arena they must wager an Item, the arena will then match the item's value with gold, or another item of equal value. if the character wins they keep both... if they lose they lose the item they were betting. Characters can bet as many Items as they want, but the more they bet the stronger the enemy. So... while 1 ella root might be 1 goblin, 10 crushed red crystals might be 2 Large Dragons.

L. Setting:

1. Time Period
This game takes place 25 A.L. (After Liftoff) in where the first ship had sailed into the skies,



2. Technology
This is the era when most cybernetic enhancements are taking place, meaning that most people are still relatively human and less robotic. Average human life is 150 years with most reaching their peak at around 40. Medical fields have expanded in great bounds nanites are now the best way to cure anything including the common cold. Wars don't take place on the ground anymore since A.L. happened now huge flying frigates do battle in the skies. Since technology has advanced housing has moved to teleportation, no more doors, places are now teleport only type entrances with doors only used inside and escape exits. Main modes of transportation is Magik powered trains, and planes. Though for those who are rich Teleportation is by far much faster. Airships, this was achieved by combining current ship technology with Magik runes to form a anti gravity field to lift the said ship off the ground. Weapons have gone beyond just normal, most weapons used now are based off ancient artifacts of battle each Item is made up of base minarals and then forged with Rune presses to make them stronger.

3. Magic & Monsters
In the year 250 B.L. a scientist named Uskar Reflin founded a theory on Magik which used electrically charged ions in a small rune that could be stored and used at a later date these runes had different effects depending on the electrical charge and the material the rune was made of, some of the most prized were that made of etheralite which had the strongest effect. as time went on Magik became more then just a theory it became common knowledge most everyone had a type, 30 years later Uskar had found that the runes eventually conjoined with their host, almost like a symbiotic relationship. Most people were not really affected except those with etheralite runes, something in these runes had caused a chain reaction where the rune would metamorphosis the human body into a creature. Scientists looked into this and found that the effect was more rapid when attached to animals, the only problem is that the animals would breed and their offspring became feral and destroyed the research facility they were located in, causing Monsters to be born. About 25 B.L. humans began being able to cast Magik without the assistance of runes, people called this Magic because it was just like what they used only runes were not required, some humans were even known to be able to summon Monsters to assist them in battle. Those who embrace their Magik past have been known to do what is called "Splicing" which brings out the animalistic nature of the person.

M. Major Towns:

1. Mavaria
This town is the largest town on Galatega, it is made up of 75% human and 25% robot. Most of the people living here live an okay life... with very little poverty. this is also where the Tactical Force of Mavaria is located at.

The town is kept in order by their current ruler which is chosen once ever 50 years during the great fight of generals. Two years ago the leadership changed to that of Delasta of the Demon clan. This city is hidden away in the high hills of Magik. An abundance of crystals and eggs can be found in this city. Currently at war with Mavaria. This place contains a Arena

3. Lona

Law is very key to this town, every crime has a penalty so getting away with things is very hard in this town, this place also contains the Stock Market, and also is the location for the Medical stock.

4. Veno
This town is a contruction town, it is a war torn town with factions standing on both sides, life is tough for everyone here, since the splicers control half the city and the humans controll the other half. 35% human, 15% robot, 30%splicer, and 20% monster. It is lead by two factions from the same family two sisters who govern the city one who is a splicer the other a Grand Summoner. This town is by no means poor since it produces vehicles and advanced weaponery to both sides of the war, it stays pretty calm unless someone stirs up the town then war breaks out. This place contains a construction site, which is used to build the parties air ship that will take a long time to build, it also has a stock market for Armory that is not available when the characters first visit. Vehicles can be used and rented here also purchased if characters have enough money (Mountain gear is obtained here later on.)

5. Vincent
This man has been around far longer then possible, during the time of Magik, he had a etheralite rune attached to him, and was slightly formed into an immortal, it does not bother him that he will never age because his wife was afflicted with the same affect... except she is far less human then himself. Over the years he has become wealthy which his generous donations to charities and organizations has secured his standing in the town of Lona. He doesn't work, but instead has a large sum of money in Stocks. He once knew the great man who invented Magik, but he is far less likely to speak about it.

Act 1: The chance meeting

Kelsarn is taking riding the train roof to deliver his package to a client in upper city Mavaria, when a Security Droid spots him, enter battle scenario. After the battle Kelsarn jumps off the train and lands flawlessly on the ground and walks away from the train toward the inner city.
Walking down the streets he begins to notice that everything seems to quite for the mid-day. Moments later a loud boom can be heard as a explosion cracks the foundation of a building near the Upper city...
Kelsarn notices a firetruck pulling out from one of the nearby stations, he runs along side it and jumps on to catch a ride to the situation... After arriving the T.F.M. has already arrived on the scene as people are trying to dig out the rubble to get to the people who may be alive.
Enter Makaria, she is commanding everyone at the scene.
Kelsarn helps move a bit of the rubble before discovering the source of he explosion.
T.F.M.'s special unit moves in and throws Kelsarn back as they secure the area. Kelsarn shakes his head and continues to upper town.
Kelsarn drops off his package at the clients house and then is invited in for a drink, the person who he was delivering to was his father. he went inside and talked with his father regarding what had just happened. his father tried persuading him to join T.F.M. but Kelsarn turns him down politely. After the cup of coffee Kelsarn goes to leave, but his stopped by his father and given a crystal that is said to be special (Isis Crystal).
Kelsarn returns to his delivery shop to find he has another job the next morning... (players can either rest and save, or run around town and do things there.)
The next morning a package is given to Kelsarn by a member of the T.F.M. and was told to deliver it to the B.M.C. Kelsarn tosses the small box in his bag and heads off. Kelsarn again takes the train... to north city (player controls to head to upper city and to B.M.C.)
After reaching B.M.C. Kelsarn is stopped and asked what business he has, Kelsarn pulls out the package and shows it to the brutes, he is allowed to enter and speak with the receptionist, Kelsarn is then told to wait for the person to come for the package, he is instructed to sit on the couch (player controls either walk around and investigate closed doors, 1 door of interest, causes the crystal to glow Security asks the player to step back. after the player sits down the next part happens.)
Enter Kari, Kari walks down the stairs from behind receptionist and walks over to Kelsarn, she tips up her glasses and asks why he is here, the package is explained and she then takes the package tipping him 2GC for his service.(Exit, player has control and can roam around the town, the explosive area has been cleaned up like nothing has happened, after returning home there is another job waiting for Kelsarn however he doesn't feel like looking at it and goes straight to sleep.) Kelsarn dreams of a young girl talking to him like they have known each other forever as the sit back and watch the stars loom over the city, She fades away and Kelsarn wakes up in a shock as dawn hits the city.


Act 2: Trip to Lona

Kelsarn is given an electronic delivery that must go to the council in Lona. After griping about the job Kelsarn has 2 options, either go by train which will be faster, or by foot which will be slower.
Train: Kelsarn gets on the train as it heads toward Lona, which will take a few hours to reach its destination, Kelsarn decides to take a nap, and dreams ends up dreaming about a odd world (Kelsarn ends up in his own dream, battle encounters here count for experience.) near the end of the dungeon he runs into the girl he saw in his dream, but a darkness consumes the area and a rune can be seen in the ground as a large shadow monster attacks Kelsarn. After defeating the monster the girl reappears and hands him a necklace, and speaks in a foreign language. Kelsarn then wakes up clasping his hand, when he opens it its empty, he scoffs and shakes his head he then gets up and notices he has arrived at his destination.
Foot: This travel will take a bit more time (Random encounters associated with the area.) Kelsarn goes to rest... scenario like above takes place Kelsarn reacts the same except he is in a sleeping bag, he goes back to sleep and wakes up the next up a few hours later and continues on with his journey
Once reaching Lona (player is free to explore but must go to the council hall before leaving) once Kelsarn has reached the council hall he is asked to speak with one of the council members to give the parcel and electronic information to. He is directed to wait in a back office (player can look around noticing some old photos of people who are no longer around) a man enters shortly after greeting Kelsarn with great vigor, Kelsarn hands over a small box with a envelope on top of it. The man skews a look of confusion as he takes the package, he thanks Kelsarn for his service and hands him his business card. As he is leaving he is asked a question by the man. "Which is more important in life, remembering what it is like to live or knowing the path you walk?"
Remembering what it is like to live Kelsarn responds with this answer the old man nods and agrees with him then goes back to analyzing the box.
Knowing the path you walk Kelsarn responds with this answer the old man qwerks an eye and says "you are a very stable man" then goes back to analyzing the box.
As Kelsarn leaves the building he is given a box and is told not to open it until he has arrived back home, confused at the gesture of the person giving it to him, he tosses it in his courier bag and heads back home (its to late to leave town by foot train is the only option) on the way back home Kelsarn nods off slightly and sees a large snow covered peak in his dream. Moments later the train screeches to a stop flying Kelsarn forward in the seat in front of him. A gang of splicers has stopped the train, the security guard and the Marshall on the train advise the passengers to head to the back, and orders the security guard to follow them to make sure they stay safe. Kelsarn is no where to be seen, he used his stealth ability to blend in with the shadows, he then follows the marshal to the front of the car to check on the train conductor, who is being attacked by 2 splicers the marshal charges in Kelsarn also appears from the shadow (treat as level 3 guard with white and blue magic, Kelsarn is also in this battle) After the battle the marshal thanks him for his help as they get the train moving again, Kelsarn examines the bodies of the dead splicers and notices the symbol of Santaga on them. After arriving back home Kelsarn notices 2 new delivery messages on his board, he just kinda looks at it and heads to his bedroom. Kelsarn then remembers the box and when he opens it he finds a pair of boots (speed boots). Kelsarn lays back and stares at his ceiling, before deciding to go walk around town. (player controled)

Act 3: Curse of the woman
After returning back home Kelsarn sleeps until the next morning, when he wakes up he is located in a room with a large crystal, with a sealed door leading out, the crystal is kind of hazy, it begins to glow brightly as he walks toward it, upon examination he notices a girl. He jumps back and lands on the ground as the crystal shatters in thousands of pieces. The girl falls to the ground as Kelsarn runs to her aid the sealed door opens up and two armored guard rush in. Enter battle, Kelsarn and fallen girl on one side and the 2 guards on the other (treat as level 5 guards with one black mage and one white mage). After the battle Kelsarn checks on the girl as an alarm sounds and more guards rush in. Kelsarn says "aww shit..." as the guards run in a bright light surrounds him and the girl and they are transported elsewhere. The guards speak on the radio and say "She has been awakened, shall we persue?" a mysterious voice responds "No that will not be required."
Kelsarn and the girl arrive underground in a abandoned train station Kelsarn slowly looks around as it almost pitch black out the only thing he can see is from the aura the girl is letting out. Noticing a derailed train car and a collapsed stair case. The girl begins to wake up and screams out "Koyota!!!" and gets up and slowly walks away from Kelsarn. Kelsarn slowly walks toward the girl with his palms up and empty "Its ok, I wont hurt you." The girl quirks a look before drawing her gun from behind her back and pointing it at Kelsarn "Koyota! Niogo" she repeats multiple times pointing at the ground. Kelsarn shakes his head before stepping back into the shadows and disappears before appearing behind the girl, how ever the girl was ready for him and catchs him before throwing him to the ground and pointing the gun at his face. "OK OK!" Kelsarn exclaims holding his hands up, the girl helps him to his feet. A loud noise almost like the sound of a train makes the floor tremble. The girl runs back as Kelsarn stands there looking down the tunnel, the noise stops and the floor below Kelsarn crushes as he flies back next to the girl (Enter Large serpent)
After the battle the girl laughs and says with a smile "Ko-yo-ta" perplexed by what the girl means, she points at Kelsarn at this point he is already nervous of what this girl can do. The girl grabs his hand and shakes it. (Natelie has joined the party. player can now explore the Abandoned train station.
