Asharru, a young necromancer, travels across the country to enact revenge upon her brother, Arishaka. She goes on a journey with her lover, Sibri, and an orphan, Ur. As her journey progresses, things seem to take a darker turn.
(The story takes place in a slightly European medieval setting. Asharru, Sibri, and Arishaka are all outsiders. Though, I might choose to change this. :'D)
Asharru: female necromancer
Asharru is the youngest in her family of four. In her childhood, she clung onto Arishaka, her brother, and shied away from the other children in their tribe. Once she became of age, she was betrothed to the elder's second youngest grandson. Distraught, she secluded herself in the darkness of the wilderness when she was able. Two months before her marriage, she met Sibri, her fiance's cousin. They quickly fell in love and often met in secret. After her brother tried to murder her love, Asharru nursed Sibri back to health. She then vowed to punish her brother for his horrific act of betrayal.
Asharru is very endearing and kind to those she loves. She's rather naive and selfish, often putting her own desires before others.
Sibri: male warrior, Asharru's lover
Sibri was raised since childhood to become a hardened and loyal guardian for his tribe. He is extremely loyal to Asharru, to the point of death if needed.
Due to his training, Sibri is often cool-headed and rational. He became mute after Arishaka stabbed him. He is fond of birds.
Ur: orphan, adopted by Asharru
Ur was abandoned by his parents at a young age. He would spend his days and nights begging for food and money, which barely sustained his life. As winter approached, he slowly lost his energy and will to live, and hid in wait for his death. However, when he was nearly dead from starvation and cold, he was noticed and taken care of by Asharru. Because of this, he decided to travel with her to stay by her side.
Ur is a rather cheerful and active boy. He always bugs Asharru or Sibri to teach him ways to fight.
Arishaka: Asharru's brother
Arishaka was the eldest in his family. He doted upon his younger sister, Asharru, and made sure to keep her away from the harsh realities of their world. He would always comfort her when she cried about her betrothal to a man she did not know. When she started to fall in love with Sibri, Arishaka grew jealous and dreamed of killing Sibri. When his desire finally overcame his restraint, he attacked Sibri. Once he saw Asharru's face, he fled in fear and despair.

Thanks to Rick for supporting me and giving me feedback and suggestions on things!
I'm really happy with the way that the story/characters are turning out, and I'm super excited to start writing! Asharru has also become one of my new waifus. :D (twitter)
(I'd really appreciate any sort of answers to the questions below!)
- What do you think of the character designs? (I know there's just two at the moment, but!!)
- Which character(s) do you like/dislike?
(Also, if you're a musician and you'd like to help out, feel free to contact me. :>)
. Good to see more of those actually. Anyway this game looks very interesting (I'm finding many NaNo games are like this. I'm going to have a lot to play lol.) What I like about yours is how they are already in a relationship. It's nice to have a change with romance =).
