Hymns of Yggdrasil by Sasame Kiryu
I do warn anyone who does not like to be involved with contraversy; This game is closely religiously based, and I would appreciate it if I didn't get any flack from anyone. It's just a game.
This is a chapter game. Or basically, this is a string of games which tie into one story. Six games to be exact. The games are more story based than game based, but I'd like to think that the game is fun in the process of telling the story. I believe it's very complex, and I've taken a lot of time weaving and kneeding this story line to the fullest of my ability. In this little description, I shall post the information for the first chapter: Sacrilege.
Please notify me of any typographical errors that you may see, as I don't like leaving something wrong once I've done it >_<
Need a spriter. Please, if someone would help me, it would be much appreciated. The sooner I get this baby done, the better. Post HERE if you would like to help.
Thank you very much.

- Story Synopsis:It began 520 years ago. The Relinquishing War. The war that was said to decide the fate of the planet, and possibly all life. The demons envied the humans so much, who were praised by both the heavens and the abyss. These 5 demons, the 5 strongest demons of the depths, arose from the ground, assembling an army of both sacriligious humans and undead minions.
The state of the world is sporatic chaos. 520 years later, the war still has no definite end. Some think it hasn't even started. Some areas of the world believe the stories of the war are just that; Stories. Though the world does see much bloodshed with each passing minute, some areas go about life with no troubles. These areas are known as Yggdrasil's Tears. Sections of the planet in which the heavens cried upon during the war. These areas somehow seem to be blessed by peace and prosperity. The demons are setting their sights on these areas, trying to find a way to destroy them.
But there is something that the demons fear. Interferance from above. Asgard has been known to interfere with endevours involving midgard. The Celestial Weapons. These four weapons were handed down to the Elves who guard Yggdrasil, but were then given out to the humans, long before the war. This was done in hopes that elves and humans could come to a peace and live amongst each other. When the war broke out, the rebellious humans destroyed the possibility of this happening. And so the weapons were sought out.

An - Characters:
Romelia(In Color) - The character with which the game starts. Undergoing the baptism of the Valkyrie at birth, she was destined to become a noble soldier from birth. Bearer of the Infinity Glaze and Imperial High Knight of the Esvium Order.
Lukea(In Color) - A young girl from Les Villa Symphonia, one of Yggdrasil's Tears. She's poor, but has an unusual amount of potential and combatative ability. She has many strange marks on her body, including one resembling a crucifix.
Sphen(In Color) - Half human, half elf. An abomination of life doomed to roam the world, unwelcomed by society. His origins are unbeknownst, even to him. He's wandered the land for decades, awaiting the time of his death to arise.
Reamus - A soldier of the Lixus Army, Reamus is highly skilled, though greatly under matched. He demanded that he not be promoted, in order to see more action on the battle field. Though he is of elite status, he is still a mere pawn. He's always looking for the greatest challenge that would give his life, and his blade, meaning to persist.
Pelewn - Pelewn is a rogue, wandering the outskirts of Abdera. He performed various odd jobs, saving the money to save his mother from a deadly illness. He's been out of his town for two years now, not even half way to his goal.
Jim - Jim is venturing westward with Setsuna, posing as a couple of sisters. Though he seldom fights, his prowess with a gun is phenominal. The secrets that he and Setsuna share are not be revealed to anyone, as they'd vowed before they set off to venture westward.
Setsuna - Jim's childhood and best friend. They've been through a lot together. Setsuna being from the far east has made childhood life considerably hard amongst the many middlers, though Jim was there through it all. After a tragedy at Setsuna and Jim's town, they vowed vengance on the perpetrator, setting off to the west.
Besato - Not much is known about him, therefore not much is explained. The only solid fact about Besato is that he is one of the five demons who masterminded the war. Possibly the one who conjured the idea to begin with.
Echidna - Possibly the spawn of all that's gone wrong in the war; On the human side, anyway. With so many children, she came into the war already having her own army. Her lair in Arima is widely known as a paradise for demons, but is heavily guarded with soldiers and various barriers. She seldom leaves her palace, still having many children.
Typheous - Born of Gaia and Echidna's lover. He was simply caught in the middle of all the chaos, unaware of the happenings of the surface for over 300 years until Echidna had told him. Though he was furious to find out that Echidna was sending their children off to war from birth, he was content that she'd stayed with him. Though he swore not to get mixed in with these childish endevours, he vowed to protect Echidna no matter what.
?shma - The "Leader" of the 5 demons who'd conjured the war. His vast tomb, the Angra Mainyu, is said to contest with the power of even the celestial weapons. For 300 years he roamed the surfaces of the planet, recruiting creatures who had abandoned their fate. Cursed by the lands, these beings seemed to aimlessly and hopelessly succumb to ?ƒ?’†shma's will. His vast knowledge of the cons over pros on existance in general made people gape in awe at his presence. He currently resides in Talmud, weaving his nefarious plottings of the war.
Lillith - Said to be ?ƒ?’†shma's lover, but they are seldom seen together. Though she has little involvment with the war, she daudles in her own mischevious affairs. She resides on the opposite side of the planet of her lover, making it so that she doesn't interfere unintentionally. Although she hasn't had any direct involvment in the war, her influences have definatly affected it greatly. Her reign over Ahriman has lasted long past several millenia, though she still dwells in the same, unaged Castle.
Shemhazai - A fallen angel of the heavens, Shemhazai is one of the 5 who helped start the war. Though he's not a demon, he's had a great affect on the war. His legions of followers, known as the Grigori, have great destructive power. They were also known as womanizing peddlers, roaming the surface fornicating with mens daughters to give birth to a warrior race. The various guises of the Grigori are unbeknownst to those of the surface, being dealt with for centuries before the war. The various baptisms of brimstone and obsidian he'd conducted on these children marked them as his property. Only Shemhazai knew of the proper conducts of this ritual, making him one of the largest contributers to the war. He wanders the surface still, his men scattered about the regions.
Ashtart - The last of the 5 who'd started the war. A rebellious godess of the who longed for nothing but war. She abandoned her life amongst her equals to persue what she loved so much. Her various followers accepted her as a descended deity and contributed to her sidings on the war, giving her a vast amount of reputation at the strat of the war. She's not hiden like the rest of the 5. She welcomes anyone that can kill her with open arms, though far be it for a mortal to kill a godess. Her rampages and pillages are wide spread and often feared, no matter which part of the surface it may be. - Screenshots:

This is not the end result. I plan on making it fully animated and lots cleaner. Thi is an older version of the CMS!! It more than likely won't look like this!! - Features:
Original Content: Original character's, battlers, and enemies. Details and concepts drawn by me, Sasame Kiryu.
Custom Menu System: An eight character menu system, made to hold each of the characters from each chapter.
Open Ended Gameplay: I plan on making this game big, with multiple pathways. The things you do in one chapter WILL affect what you do in the next chapter.
Custom Skill System (Pending): The Yggdrasil Chamber skill system allows for the player to interact more thoroughly in battle, timing their button presses to the timing of the guage. - Script and Credits/Team:
