NOTE: Hi there ^^ This old thread has been necromanced by a few lovely people here so if you're interested in this, then I highly suggest that you ignore every page from 1-7 as the contents there are ridiculously outdated. Feel free to check for any updates from page 8 and so forth, thank you c: (And there are pictures here, I swear :O)

THE GXB REBELLION
Vivaldast, a country both of wonders and advancement are diverged into two with women as Researchers and the men as Fighters. With a sudden foray from the men, the country has been in war for nearly 8 years now and unfortunately with no acknowledgement of the reason of such bloodshed.
Sethra Hopeland, a young unofficial Researcher, due to her cunning habits of troublemaking and witty attitude was specifically sent as a spy to gather any valuable information from the men as she disguised as one of them herself. A month was the only time she and her mythical companion, Ash had before arrived the rumoured Ending Day, 2nd Gold. Would she be able to find a way to gain victory of the war? Would she be able to find out what even caused it or maybe, would she experience something that she never had expected within the time with her enemies...?

I think that's a interesting story :3
I want to help, but I just can make the script
Maybe I could do the outline and the drawing (maybe...must see the sketch first ToT)
Because I'm still learning myself...

@Yuuki Paint Sai and a tablet.

For this game, unless you are going for the comedic/parody route, I would want a really, really good reason for females and males to fight each other. For that matter I would want a very good reason as why the females are still able to fight. A human population usually sits around 50% for males and female because of the chance of a child being male or female. Unless all the females are Amazons or have some advantage, such as technology, they wouldn't be able to hold against males. Males have the advantage on strength, physique and psyche. Though if you can write it well, it could be very interesting, I would just want pretty good rationales, unless it isn't meant to be serious.

A good example of females and males at war in a really serious sense would be the Black Jewel Series (series of books, not for young ones though) The overview of it is
One strong and ambitious female wanted power. She gathered like minded people and destroyed the stronger opponents and potential threats. She twisted the weaker males and chained the stronger ones when they were young. The males, fearful of females reaching powerful maturity, destroyed them while young. Females, fearing the males, chained powerful young males. Thus a dangerous spiral was created were the strong destroyed potential threats. This is set in a world were females are the stronger sex and are meant to rule, and males are to serve and protect. The spiral is a corruption of what they are and why the war between the sexes will eventually destroy them all.
This is a rather dark example, but it is rationally built up and both sides have a reason for doing what they do. Females and males wouldn't fight each other without good reason. Plus, it has a pretty good stance as to how females stand against males you are physically stronger.
