UPDATE: Character Bios!
Schala: A beloved princess lost to the Dream Devourer as a result of her mother's reckless use of magic. She sealed her soul inside her pendant, casting it out into the timeways, leaving her body, magicless and useless. Reborn from her pendant and adopted by the Ashtear family, Schala now tells her own story as she follows in Crono's steps.
Magus: Known as the 'Fiendlord' of the Middle Ages, Magus waged war with humans for many years. But what happens when his long lost sister stumbles upon him after all these years? How would he convince to her his true identity? How will he stop her from killing him, since she's been comissioned to slay him?
Lucca: Schala's step-sister, older by a year. This geekette finds herself constantly running into her little sister throughout her adventures to save the future.
Dalton: Queen Jean Zeal's lackey. Dalton temporarily tags along with the mysterious Prophet and an enigmatic harlequin under the Queen's orders as the Prophet works to prove himself to the Queen
Harle: This enigmatic harlequin is a recent newcomer to Zeal and has proved herself as another one of Queen Zeal's lapdogs. She speaks with an accent and seems very awkward. She seems close to the Prophet ever since he landed in Zeal again.
Jean: The tyrannical Queen of Zeal. Jean recklessly abused her magic and it ultimately led to her downfall on the Black Omen. Although... is she *really* dead?
I figured I'd only announce a project when I made at least some progress, as opposed to otherwise. Anyway, I've been coding fiercely for the past 2 days on a third alternative sequel to Chrono Trigger. I'm currently writing this in C++ using the Allegro game toolkit and goodness I have a headache from working that long!
The game features my diary writing narrating the story at occasional moments in the game, hence the title. It starts out with me stuck as the Dream Devourer in Time's Eclipse after nearly 13,000 years of fighting for my existence. I am able to break free of its will for the moment and I seal my soul and memories into my pendant, casting it out into the river of time. My body is left a soulless, powerless, but living shell as the pendant lands in 984 AD and reincarnates me as a baby to be found by Taban, Lucca's father. I grow up as Schala Ashtear, Lucca's stepsister and from there, the events of Chrono Trigger replay, but my interferece with the events alter the story in epic proportions!
The following is subject to change:
- 8 playable characters, including Jean (Queen Zeal), Dalton, and of course, yours truly!
- A new battle system influenced by the Legaia PlayStation games!
- Humorous cutscenes such as what happens when Gato is hit too hard by a spell
- Never before seen events such as Zeal Kingdom before Crono and friends arrive (Yes, I know Prophet's Guile does this already, but can't I come up with my own creative story?)
- Stronger enemies and new boss fights
- Alternate events such as my return to the Last Village after Zeal's fall
- Totally new spells and abilities! (All techs will need to be redone from scratch for the new battle system)
- An exciting new story!
As of this post, I currently have most of the playable character and spell structure data done, but I still have much to do. I'm working hard at this everyday
