Sparrow ~Beautiful Fate~ [GxB, Otome] Progress: Redoing art
Posted: Thu Jan 26, 2012 2:10 am
((the vn's logo will be placed here once it's done))
So this will be my very first VN, hopefully out of many more to come. I figured I should post this here first, since I haven't begun full on programming it yet (still have some BGs and character images to do before I do that), but I just can't wait to get the word out.
Story:
“There’s a story that I was told as I was growing up... My mother told it to me every night. She said, that as long as you still spot a sparrow soaring overhead, or just lazing around in a tree every now and then, then there is still hope for a brighter future.”
The setting is a fictional, prestigious high school in Kobe, Japan called Mizuitani High. You play the role of Anzu Kirishima, a senior at this school, and also the smart yet very pretty heiress to the Kirishima Enterprises out of Tokyo. Surrounded by kids of the rich and powerful day in and day out, you’ve never really thought about falling in love before... That is, until your father arranges a fiancé for you! The man of choice? Yusuke Anami. He goes to your school, has good looks... the only problem... He’s kind of an egotistical jerk. Can you uncover the soft, romantic side to him that lurks deep within his heart? Or perhaps you’ll decide that he isn’t worth the effort... There are a lot of guys at Mizuitani, and daddy never said you had to choose Yusuke in the end!
Can you find the happiness that the sparrows have promised?
Protagonist:
Anzu Kirishima
Age: 17
Gender: Female
The heiress to the Kirishima Enterprises out of Tokyo, and the only child of Mr. Shumei Kirishima. Due to her gender, she is required to marry before she’s eligible to take over her family’s company once she graduates. Because of this, she is forced into a relationship that she isn’t even sure she wants to be a part of. But, she honors her father’s wishes and decides to give it a shot. However, Shumei only said that she needed to marry someone from a business background; he never said it had to be Yusuke. It’s up to you whether or not she stays with him.
Obtainable Guys:
[image coming soon]
Yusuke Anami
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Believe it or not (what with everyone there being wealthy), he is the most popular guy at Mizuitani High. His family has done business with Kirishima Enterprises on a number of occasions, which has given him high eligibility to make a fine husband to Anzu, and thus the arranged marriage was made. He tends to think way too highly of himself and this often leads to him looking like a complete jerk. However, underneath that hard exterior, could there be a gentle, caring personality waiting for Anzu? He’s also been in the same class as Anzu since kindergarten.

Toshiro Maita
Age: 18
Gender: Male
A smart guy. If he’s not doing homework, he can usually be found in the school library either studying or reading. He is the polar opposite of Yusuke, in that he barely has an ego and he most certainly isn’t too stubborn to show it when he cares about someone. Though his athleticism is lacking some... He usually skips out on gym class.
Rikyu Nagata
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Optimistic and usually smiling, Rikyu can be considered a bit bubbly. He’s been at Anzu’s side since they were in second grade, just like Yusuke, but the difference being that Rikyu has actually been her friend since then, too. Unlike Yusuke, who never seemed to notice her. If Rikyu isn’t smiling, there’s something seriously wrong with him. He is far from being girly, though. He likes boy things and despises sweets.

Sojiro Maita
Age: 18
Gender: Male
He is the president of the student council, and Toshiro's twin brother. He's nice to everyone, but has a sharp tongue when it's needed. His route will be hidden.

Takaya Tamazaki
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Calm and collected. He's reserved, so most people assume he's some kind of snob, however he isn't. He is the delinquent type; he skips class a lot, because he believes he doesn't need schooling if he's just going to inherit his family's fortune in the end, anyway.
Yoshiko Tsuruya
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Anzu’s other best friend, next to Rikyu. They’re usually together, unless they can’t be.

Shumei Kirishima
Age: 54
Gender: Male
Anzu’s father, and only living parent. His wife passed away two years prior to the beginning of the story, due to pneumonia. He is the current CEO of Kirishima Enterprises, though he hopes to pass the company on to Anzu in a few short years.

Fun Facts:
,, Takaya-kun has the same condition that I once had! Luckily mine cleared up on it's own as my heart grew stronger as I aged.
,, I have already planned on making a sequel entitled "Sparrow II ~Beautiful Tomorrow~" depending on how well this one does in the end. It will star one of the few unwealthy girls that wins a scholarship to Mizuitani. There will be an all new cast!

He is temporarily blind and taking specialty classes at Mizuitani. I'm hoping for a touching ending with him.

He's actually afraid to go to school, or anywhere for that matter. He has a heart defect that makes him feel dizzy if he works too hard physically, stands too long or walks too much. It's only fatal if he pushes his body too hard at one time. He is in line to receive a heart transplant.
