Alchemy Meister Ashley (Original Setting, Inspired by Kamidori Alchemy Meister)

[PrinceArjuna]

Beginning​

Eons ago, at the time when the world was nothing but a sea of chaos, there was a war that took place between two panthenons of gods. When the dust settled, the old order of the Ancient Gods, Gaestrean, was no more, leaving the New Gods, Luminarian, to enjoy their newfound prominence. The remnants of Gaestrean were pushed into obscurity, and life under Luminarian started to prosper.

In order to recreate the world to its image, Luminarian gave birth to a new set of races into the world, putting it alongside the old one that was given birth by the old order of gods. One race in particular, Terran, or humans, was among the new races created by Luminarian. Initially thought to be the weakest, frailest among the races, Terran soon proved itself superior to the other races, using its sheer tenacity and creativity as it raised itself above others.

Civilizations started to flourish, and countless nations started to form all across the world. Terran, in particular, was the one that made most of them. Being well-known for its tenacity and ingenuity, it learned the ways of the other races, elevating the race's status to become the most dominant one in the world. By understanding the world and everything around them, they learned how to manipulate all elements around them, and soon enough, they became the race of miracles, reaching the domain of divinity itself.

Worried upon seeing how much one of its creation had grown into, Luminarian decided to make a drastic choice, a counterbalance so that Terran would not end up destroying its creator. And so, Luminarian created Angels, the divine agents of gods that carried Luminarian's wills. They were sent upon the world to observe the humans, to discern whether their continued existence could bring harm to the gods or not. If latter was proven to be correct, the Angels were set to neutralize the threat, and humanity would be wiped out into extinction.

Fortunately for the Terran, the Angels saw that the humans had yet to reach the threshold, and they were left alone. There were also humans who still worshipped the gods, and the Angels saw no reason to purge them out. Still, Terran was put under constant observation by the divine agents of gods as it made its progress in term of knowledge and power. Whether knowledge and power could ensure humanity's survival or not, only time would tell.

This should make for a nice change from the game's premise.

Huh; strangely enough, the idea of a Kamidori-inspired quest had been rattling around in my head for a while. Though, are we playing in the same setting (and possibly Yuidora itself), or is this an original setting with lots of aspects/ideas from Kamidori?

I'm thinking about an original setting but with lots of aspects/idea from Kamidori.

 

[PrinceArjuna]

RRRIIIIINNGGG!!!

You wake up and are mildly annoyed by the alarm clock that disturbed your slumber. Feeling a little groggy, you reach to the alarm clock and push the snooze button. Being an alchemist's apprentice, this little contraption (alarm clock) is one of your creations.

Getting up from your bed, you yawn and stretch up your arms. Rubbing your eyes, you step away from your comfy bed (it seems to be rather inviting, as if asking you to remain on the bed to continue having a few more minutes of sleep) and walk over to your mirror on the wall.

Standing in front of the mirror, you see your own image, the face of a youth, barely reaching adulthood. You see...

[ ] Shiny, golden hair, the mark of highborn. Despite you growing up as a wanderer, you know that you are descended from a noble family in the past. Your hair is quite long, reaching almost to your back. It takes a few minutes to groom it, tying it into a ponytail.
[ ] Brown hair, the color of earth. You see that it is the most normal hair color around here, and yours is shoulder-length. You also cannot help but to notice a cowlick on top of your head, and you hope that the cowlick won't make people assume that you are stupid.
[ ] Black hair, spiky and short, making your appearance seem more roguish. This hair-styling is worrying you, because it makes you seem rather wild-like, giving you the appearance of a bad boy. You sure hope that this hair style won't give you much trouble in the future.

Blinking a few times, you look into your own reflection again, and you see...

[ ] Brown eyes.
[ ] Blue eyes.
[ ] Green eyes.

You remember that you should be going by now. Your qualification test will begin in just a couple of hours. Failure to arrive in time will bring a dire consequence. You may have to wait for the next year to receive your alchemist's license.

Even so, you shouldn't forget your equipment. You reach for your toolbox before you take your...

[ ] Hammer, a standard weapon of an alchemist. Slow, but packs tremendous power.
[ ] Sword, light but dangerous. Can cut through your enemies with relative ease.
[ ] Gunblade, a sword/gun hybrid. A very versatile weapon, yet difficult to use/master.
[ ] Write-ins.

Smiling, you step out of your cottage to go to the examination area. This cottage is your uncle's, and he graciously gave it to you after you return from your adventure across the continent as a wanderer. In order to become an alchemist, you have to settle down first so that you can begin your career as an alchemist.

 

[Kelenas]

Huh. I wonder if the hair colour is a reference to the Kamidori characters. Long and gold/blonde could be Wilfred, and black and spiky could be Laguna. Though Laguna's hair is more shoulder-length, and not exactly spiky.

Not sure which weapon to pick. I don't suppose write-ins would be an option, here?

Actually, just Wilfred. The other two options are original.
And sure, write-ins can be an option too.

If you don't know what sort of weapon to write in, why don't you just choose from the options?

Click to shrink...

It's more that I'm torn between the various other ideas that come to mind for me. Like, say, our character using gauntlets/gloves, because this way there'll be less damage to the beasties he brings down, and thus more materials (or at least that's the IC-justification). Or wrist-/underarm-mounted crossbows with self-made bolts and poisons. Or a pair of daggers that also double as magical wands...

So many options...

 

[PrinceArjuna]

Hmm... let's just say, as an alchemist, our character is more into physical combats rather than magical. That should narrow it down.

 

[Kelenas]

That helps, yeah. So, less Laguna, and more Wil. I'm guessing the weapon-selection will also have other effects? Heavier weapons like hammer/mace/axe tending more towards a durable and heavy-hitting but slow character, while swords, daggers, and the like would tend more towards speed and agility?

Click to shrink...

More or less, yes. But it doesn't mean our character doesn't have his own set of magic, but like Wil's, it's more into support and reinforcement. And I'd like to avoid giving our character ranged weapons.

Currently playing it again, myself. 2nd game, and I'm currently busy raising the Weapon Skill of most of my party-members so they can actually use their best weapons. As much as I love the game otherwise, this kind of grinding can get rather tedious, particularly since the various side-characters (ie, those aside from Wil and the Heroines) can't use Gems to increase their Skill Growth Rate...

Actually, there is an equipment that allow the side-characters to level up much faster. I kind of forgot what its name is, though. Been a while since the last time I played it.

Do you mean Marwen's Ring and Necklace? They only increase the rate at which a character's Stats grow during level-ups.
Other than those, there's also the Training Bracelet, which gives a character the "Mercy" skill, which prevents an enemy's HP from being reduced to 0. I'm currently using that a lot for grinding the weapon-skills, since for those it doesn't matter if the enemy is killed, as long as the character uses an attack skill of some sort.

Well, if you look it that way, it's kinda true.

Also, I kinda need a faster way to download the game, so other than erogedownload, can someone PM me a better way to download them? Or can someone with the game upload it to Mega.co and PM me the link? I would appreciate it if someone does so.
