A few years ago myself and Nicholas Saeko (My Evil, yet somehow better partner in video game crime) started an idea so bizarre, it was right up there with Goichi Suda. (suda51) That game was Risqué. An American take on the JRPG. Classic ATB style fighting, demented Japanese ideas mixed with 2 children of the 80's who drink too much and spent way too much time on Anarchy Online and Rock Band.
The original idea had myself, Nickolas, my sister and our mutual best mate as the main characters.
This proved difficult because none of us wanted to be properly lacking. (ie the caster of the group didn't want to be physically weak...) Imagine how fun a game would be, with a team of 4 Sephiroths. That would be sarcasm, seriously, whom would play a game that's not hard (aside all these kids who play Modern Warfare online only)
I digress:
So now, we've made 4 new and equally dysfunctional characters:
(I'll just mention first names)
Klint: The "hero". An ex-boxer, who spends more time drinking than fighting. Can still fight, however has a perpetual hangover. Rude, vulgar and gayer than springtime, Klint tries to help, however it usually ends up horribly, horribly wrong.
Julie: Klint's younger sister. Still in college for an as of yet decided art major. Also a hard drinker (family trait i suppose) Julie is the complete opposite of a lady. She train's with Klint's friend Jordan and usually is kicked out of bars for "finishing" fights.
Jordan: Jordan got lucky and found he was quite good at MMA. In the cast's hometown he won a title and is constantly being paid to defend it. Jordan is calm and laid back, but when his temper flares he rivals Klint for unpredictability. Jordan tries to be the voice of reason.
Vincent: Vincent is rich, However he worked for his money (debatable by everyone Else's view) playing stocks and gambling. Vincent is of Asian decent, everyone makes cracks about him being a ninja, samurai, whatever. Very tactical fighter who has a fondness for knives.
the cast probably seems pretty normal, but this is just a brief description. more will come
