My concept storyline

I've read some of the plots posted here, and also the comments and critics on them, and I decided to post my own concept/storyline/plot here too, since I think I could use some feedback to get it up to an avarage level. I don't care about blunt comments too much, but if you do post something along the lines of "it sucks" or "start over" please be so kind as to give a reason too.

Storyline:

A small world is plunged into despair when a prophet int he south makes a prediction about it's destruction by a soon to be born Half-Demon. When word reaches the king he spents a good year ordering his men around killing every Half-Demon they see, however, one half-demon baby, born in a rather isolated area to the north is sent to a different dimension by chance, just before news of the prophecie reaches there.

This baby (which accidentilly is our hero Wink ) is found in this this other dimension and lives in an ophanage there, without the slightest clue who or what she really is, nor where she actually came from.

When the girl is 6, she is adopted by a woman named Asteriel and her 4-year-old daughter Sakura (a name that is prone to change in the future). Asteriel gives her the name Lythia and takes care of her onwards, as if she were her own child.

When she is 16, Lythia discovers, together with Sakura, that Asteriel has been hiding the fact that she is sick from them for a long time. They decide to serch for a cure. For about a year they try every medicine they can get their hands on, but none work.

Then word reaches them about a miracle flower (note: in this dimension there is no real 'magic' like you usually find in games and stories) that is said to posses healing powers. The now 17-year-old Lythia rushes to the cave where this flower is said to bloom immediately, accompanied by Sakura. When she touches the flower, Lythia is sent back to her original dimension again.

At the same time, multiple prophets in the (first) world predict the same: The Half-Demon they thought was dead is actually alive and the end of the world is soon to come. The king's youngest son, Aexe, persuades his father into letting him search this Half-Demon and kill it.

Aexe and Lythia run into each other and get acquainted. Lythia starts tagging along with Aexe, because she doesn't want to be alone in a world where she knows noone at all, though she doesn't tell Aexe this exact reason.

After some time they get along really well, but then they are separated and both learn of Lythia's true identity individualy. when and after they meet again certain events happen ( excuse my vagueness, but I think it would ruin the sequence in game if I told it here Wink ) and Lythia decides to search for a way to defy destiny.

I'll post some more detailed info about Aexe and Lythia later, right now I'm just happy I typed all that without my internet crashing on me again like it did an hour ago when I had this all typed out too... By the way, my avatar is a part of a picture I drew of Lythia waaaaaaaaay back when the first ideas for this story started in my mind ^^;

Nice. Some clichés, but enough originality to make people not really notice.

The picture is awesome.

One question though: As a baby, how is Lythia sent to the other dimension?

Good! One thing, 10 years is a big gap. What happened between all those years. You don't have to go into a big detailed paragraph. Smile

quite complicated, you see, her mom fell in love with a demon and ran away from her village to live together with him and Lythia was born. Not very long after this Lythia's grandfather tries to take Lythia's mom back to the village, but they are attacked by lesser demons and mom dies ( I might tweak this reason for mom's dead, cause it doesn't feel quite right) . The demon dad is left alone with the baby, but doesn't really know how to take care of it, so he thinks it better to bring her to the village. The villagers mistake his appearance in their town for an attack and kill him, they then discover that he was holding the baby and want to kill it, but Lythia's gandfather, who can use magic, just can't see his daughter's only child get murdered though, so he sends her to the other dimension.

The ten year between her being adopted and her discovering about Asteriel's disease. well, from 6 to 10 she goes to school, where she is treated bad by the other kids because she is kinda different (even in a magicless world some demonic traits show), Sakura helps her to get more open and deal with her 'problems' better. Because of Sakura's and Asteriel's support she also finds courage to follow her dream to defend the weak, so when she is 11 she leaves for an Swordfighting Academy in the capital of the country she's living in. Sakura later enrolls to an Academy close-by to study History. They both finish their studies around the same time ( because the history study is shorter) and when they come back they find their mother sick.

Ok, that would work. Just needs some tweaking.

Edit: I was going to point that out cal, but I decided to just go with it.

I said there was no magic in the second dimension, there is in the first...though not really the elemental kind of magic.(Edit: like fire and thunder and such)

Most of that will be explained with Aexe's history....

no problem Grin

here is my concept art for Aexe too, I'm too tired to type the histories out now, but they will eventually appear here (most likely around friday or so).

Aexe concept art

he looks a bit feminine, and scaling the picture down made his chin look funny, but, as for the concept itself, I kinda like how he turned out.
