Love in Menagerie [Act 1] (Fantasy/Drama Otome)

#1 Post by FrozenApple66 » Sun Oct 18, 2015 10:26 pm

Idea blurb below. A proper post is to come later. I just wanted to set up the topic.
Intro.jpg
Three acts have been outlined for this game. So far, this thread will only address Act 1.
Character Profiles: (For Act 1)

Ariadne
Age - 18 (At the start of the game)
Occupation - Head Manager of the Dillion Menagerie
Caste - Ghost

A young woman who has been employed by the Dillion family since birth. She has finally become the Manager of the Menagerie and does everything in her power to make sure that the Beasts stay healthy. However, she makes sure to keep herself emotionally detached from them as at any moment, their name could be called to the Fighting Pit, where few return from. Similarly, Ariadne does not let herself feel any affection towards her own Masters as they can never understand her plight. The only people she is close to are her fellow Ghosts from neighboring households. But, that is all about to change when she discovers a mysterious homeless Beast on her way home from the market...

Clovis

Age - ???
Occupation - Dillion Menagerie Member
Caste - Beast

A rare unicorn Beast, Ariadne discovered him on her way home from the market one rainy afternoon. He was covered in wounds and strange marks, prompting the Ghost to bring him back. She has since tried to keep him hidden among the other members of the menagerie. Clovis rarely speaks and most of his words, when they exist, are snarky. However, since she saved his life Clovis seems to have imprinted upon Ariadne, doing everything in his power to be close to her.

Emil
Age - 20
Occupation - Dillion Menagerie Member
Caste - Beast

A flirtatious brown fox, he's been around the longest out of all of the current Menagerie members and won the most fights out of all of them.

Malik
Age - 18
Occupation - Dillion Menagerie Member
Caste - Beast

A black snake.

Roderich Dillion
Age - 24
Occupation - Military Captain, Heir to the Dillion Manor
Caste - Eternal

The only son of Lord Dillion, he recently returned home from a military campaign. Ariadne has not seen him in a few years but remembers that he used to just sit in the Menagerie watching everything.

Hobbin of the Waste
Age - 19
Occupation - None
Caste - Ghost

A homeless ghost and a thief who lives at the edge of the city. Rumor has it that he has some sort of mystic power which is why not even the authorities are willing to try and kill him.

Aly
Age - 25
Occupation - Head Manager of the Sullivan Menagerie
Caste - Ghost

Maher
Age - 30
Occupation - Sullivan Menagerie Member
Caste - Beast

Lilith

This sounds so cute! :D Lunescara seems to be getting all the attention right now, haha, but I think this one deserves some too!

Clovis sounds hot. I don't know if that's what you're aiming for, but that's how I imagine him as. Hahaha. (Please make him hot, okay?) Emil, hm. He doesn't sound like my type at all. Emil... a snake. That's all I know about him as of now, but... ooooh, I love snakes. I wonder what Emil's story is? :D And Roderich! As a fellow only child, I am automatically interested in him. Hahaha.

Anyway, I know this is just an idea, like you said, but I do hope you'll continue it. Maybe after Lunescara? Haha. Good luck on all your projects!

Awe thanks~! Lol is that sketch hot enough for you? XD

Anyway, yeah none of the other characters are very fleshed out at the moment because I'm still working on the details for the outlines. Once the demo for Lunescara is finished in Spring I intend to start on Love in Menagerie while feedback gathers. :3

I am glad that you like what has been shown so far~
