This story takes place in the sci-fi/fantasy utopian world of Starkyl, where a group of rag-tag fugitives must overcome themselves and band their feuding countries together in order to vanquish a dark lord and his minions who are slowly taking over the world.

Battle System
How the heroes will battle their opponents will be quite a mix between Kingdom Hearts and Star Ocean. They will each learn similar abilities as well as their own unique ones. They will each possess only one summon - quite similar to Final Fantasy XIII but instead of facing their summons head on, they must face their own shadow from within quite like how it was done in Persona 4 and it is from their shadows that their summons will manifest.

World & People
The world is somewhat of a modern fantasy where firearms, artillery and airships are already invented. There will be some planes as well. While this will mainly be a human story, there will also be fantastical races, like Elves and Dwarves. Maybe a large warrior race as well, I haven't decided on what yet. As with any other fantasy settings, the Elves would rely more on magic and graceful reflexes while the Dwarves prefer engineering as well as brute strength.

The Company
It has not been decided how many would be in the party yet. All it is known is that it'll be Lord of the Rings but with a modern twist, with the firearms and airships as previously mentioned. But instead of one person carrying a burden of destroying evil forever, it's the whole company of them each carrying their own but are in this together because of that. Each will have their own personal vendetta against the dark lord, like each were wronged by him or his forces in some way. As for the burdens each party member will bear, thankfully they won't have as much magical influence but they do grant each the ability to use magic. But how much magic will differ with each individual. There will be an Elf and a Dwarf in the party, in which they would go through a development quite like Legolas and Gimli in Lord of the Rings but yet quite different from them.
