FE8 hack Light of Malice

[Lethakitty]

Hack concept.

name is not final

Story is based on Persephone main character Phoebe is kidnapped by the kingdom of Ebonia and bathed in dark magic to corrupt her pure soul. however things are not what it seems because the pure nation of Lununa is the one with the more malicious intent desiring to eliminate all darkness and control the world.

Characters  I want at least 30 right now I only have one completely made being Phoebe the main character. her base class is called Tainted Maiden she uses dark magic and Claws (though claws in this game are magical and made of magic)

other name:  Jesse (Main antagonist)  Itzcoatl (boss joinable later)Playables: {Trevor(Hero, Jordan(Troubadour),}{ Amber(wyvern rider), Lana(wyvern rider), Jesica[Jesse's daughter](Myrmidon) }{Richter(cavalier), }{Tiffany(Thief), Nicholas(Archer),}{ Candy(Mercenary),}{ Xelon(Mercenary) Bree(shaman) Melissa(soldier)}{Ricard(Mage) Lara (Pegasus knight)} no new units in ch 8 {Tracie(cleric)} {Viola(Shaman) Barry(Knight)} {Leia (Wyvern rider)} {Arthon (Thief} {Red (Myrmidon) Frost (shaman)} {Joanne(cavalier) Micaiah(not really RD Micaiah)(dancer} {Chandler(berserker)[myself] Victor (Assassin)} {Itzcoatl (Hero) Jillian(falcon knight)} {Edna (Wyvern lord)}

Chapters 25 chapter minimum

I want to include third tier promotions also

Other locations: Alerint (neutral island nation near Lununa) Floraline  (nation that separates Lununa from Ebonia) Sleevanna  (nation comprised of Lununan prisoners east of Alerint) Hatatia (nation aligned with Ebonia)

Richter is recruited by talking to him with Phoebe he is a stationary NPC Jesica breaks the locks on phoebe and jordans cell and Richters is open due to his Execution approaching. There Is a guard in front of the wyverns door with a door key and Lana has a hand axe and naturally kills the guard. The Executioner takes 5 turns to make it to Richter Trevor does no damage to the executioner due to high defense and can only really be taken out by phoebe who has magic. Trevor dies to the executioner in 3 hits so 8 turns to get phoebe to kill the executioner ending the chapter also automatically recruits Richter Executioner is the boss

I can't wait to see what the characters look like

[Lethakitty]

phoebe is long blonde hair and blue eyes with her outfit being kinda similar to dark signer carly from yugioh 5ds. I suck at actually making sprites all I have is rough drawings that I will share later

[Blitzrick3]

Eh, I'm a mage. Cool.
*tries to do magic but it exploades in his face*

[Lethakitty]

So my current avi is a basic idea on what I want Phoebe to look like using sacred stones sprites as a base

Edited January 19, 2017 by SheDon'tBuyDat

[Melissa]

So I imagine my character looking like Alm or Gaius @SheDon'tBuyDat

 

EDIT: Give him armour like this when he promotes:

[Lethakitty]

ok that is CH 1-15 done with brief plot summaries If anyone has any criticism I would love to see it

 

[Hoshido Noble Red]

<.< >.> Red the trainee Swordsman (or Cavalier if not do-able)

[BANRYU]

I'll do a Monk character, name/stats/appearance pending. 

I can actually sprite-edit my own character if you want, just let me know.

EDIT: Might wanna do a bard, depending on whether there are any plot-relevant bards/dancers (mine won't be plot significant lol)

EDIT AGAIN: Okay I don't think we need multiple bard/dancer classes then, I'll think of something for the monk haha.

Edited January 19, 2017 by BANRYU

[Lethakitty]

A dancer will join in 17

 

[Melissa]

What sort of time period is this game set it? I ask because I plan on setting my game in the modern day

[Lethakitty]

transitional between ancient and modern Modern elements are appearing but there not fleshed out enough for about another 15 years

[Melissa]

What do you plan to do with the characters from my game?

[Lethakitty]

I will not be using too many of them and if I feel like using others I will ask you about information about them

[Melissa]

@SheDon'tBuyDat Oh, understandable

[Lethakitty]

Here is the sprite for tiffany well at least a basic idea of what I want her to look like.

[Yula]

That looks pretty good actually.

[Blitzrick3]

Looks nice.

[Melissa]

I'll definitely make either Gardy or Joanne my avvie once they're done 

[Lethakitty]

Trevor and Jorge and Ricard

Just a reminder that, in order to be used in a hack, your portraits need to have 16 or fewer colors, and the background counts as a color.
