In celebration of Golden Sun DS being confirmed, and the fact that it is by far one of the best RPG's in existance, my co-gm (Lillefot a.k.a. Gustav) and I have decided to create a Golden Sun RP! We are very excited about this and hope it will continue on for a good run. We are still working out the kinks to storyline and what not, but we will update it as soon as we have decided what the heck we are doing :blink:
For those who have not played Golden Sun, it is a game where you control characters called Adepts. Adepts are people who have the ability to use Psynergy, and Psynergy is just a fancy name for magic. This kind of magic is not Harry Potter or stereotypical wizard mumbo jumbo. This magic is derived from the elements that make up our world: Earth (including nature as a whole), Fire (lava, magma, etc...), Wind (lightning, tornadoes, etc...), and Water (also includes ice). All four elements have offensive as well as defensive attacks. One person can only be a master of ONLY ONE element. For example, a Water Adept has the ability to generate water/ice. A Wind Adept can summon lightning as well as strong winds.
Each element is affiliated with one planet:
Earth - VenusFire - MarsWater - MercuryWind - JupiterAlong with Psynergy, there are tiny creatures called Djinn. Djinn in a sense are like Pokemon, except they are much cooler. Djinn help enhance an adept's power, and once used they can be combined to summon even more powerful monsters. Djinn are an Adepts best friend pretty much, and they are capable of communication.
Golden Sun is a fantasy RPG, which means no ranged weapons at all (guns, bows, crossbows, etc...) The main weapons are Swords, Blades, Axes, Maces, and Staffs/Rods. Some weapons have additional effects and are therefor called Artifacts. This goes for armor as well. You pretty much go on a journey and fight monsters/enemy Adepts.
Well my hands are exhausted, so I'm going to stop here for now. I will post more when I get the chance. Hopefully this little summary doesn't confuse you. However, if you feel you need more information, here is the link to the official
Golden Sun Wiki. It pretty much gives information on EVERYTHING related to both games.
