The Skies Beyond

A Board 8 RPG being made by Huff n puff 20. It's being made in RPG Maker VX, and uses enough scripts to drive people insane. The game uses a few characters based off of Board 8'rs and Signups are still available. The story is completely conceived by Huff, and takes a lighter tone to that of his previous RPG Maker games, with blatant jokes abound.

Story
There are two worlds, one transposed onto the other-- one's a Skies of Arcadia-esque world where Islands float in the sky, and people travel around on Airships, and the other is-well... nothing like the first. Now in the sky world- there are pirates, and the Main Character, Agnus is one-such pirate. But he got unlucky and fell off the Airship he was on, separating him from everything he once knew. Finding himself in a strange land fraught with a political scandal (*coughmayormaynothaveanythingtodowithPikanesscough*), he's unable to find any clues on how to return to where he once was, but then an invasion from the RI Empire throws things into further chaos.

He's an Air Pirate from the Island of Silvanius, and falls into a whole world of trouble when he's tossed from his air ship. http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r117/Airship_Canon/The%20Skies%20Beyond/Erina.png Erina (Original) Erina is a somewhat cynical girl who finds Agnus washed up on a beach. She stays with him for some reason, despite the fact that they're always fighting. http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r117/Airship_Canon/The%20Skies%20Beyond/Stranik.png Stranik (StealthisSheen ( SEP)) Stranik is a fun-loving, womanizing, however mysterious, thief. He appears before the party every now and then, and always with a bang. http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r117/Airship_Canon/The%20Skies%20Beyond/AyvuirFace.png Ayvuir (Ayvuir) Ayvuir is a twin-swordsman who's out for revenge.

Other Party Members
Ike Ike of the Greil Mercenaries, who fights for his friends, is playable, but he's a Jeigan in every sense of the term. He makes the part where he's playable extremely easy, but there's a cost. Although, use him and you get to see a really flashy attack that hits for over 9000!

Villains
THE BIG BAD Who be this mysterious man, and why be he complaining about Marth's down throw? One thing's for sure though, and that's he's up to no good. http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r117/Airship_Canon/The%20Skies%20Beyond/Figure.png Figure (FigureOfSpeech) Figure is the big bad's second-in-command. A mighty foe who, while he can be quite lazy, is very explosive. He wield a myriad of large weapons, and is very violent. However, he's least to be expected, when not committing acts of EEEEEVVVVILLL!, he's a smooth guy, who's well known amongst the female population. http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r117/Airship_Canon/The%20Skies%20Beyond/Evix.png Evix (Original) Evix is the Emperor of Ri, but in all reality, he's just a pawn of a much more sinister force. http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r117/Airship_Canon/The%20Skies%20Beyond/Seth.png Seth Aldane (Huff n puff 20) Seth is a mysterious man who uses a mighty force to get things done. He's a powerful swordsman and Lightning mage, who may have ties to the big bad, but he follows his own agenda. http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r117/Airship_Canon/The%20Skies%20Beyond/neckbeard04.jpg General Cyrus Neckbeard (War13104) Cyrus is a General in Ri's army. He rose to his position on sheer skill. In battle he uses the power of his hair to his full advantage. However, he's not just a villain... Dante (X Dante X) Dante is a mysterious foe who has no ties to anyone, and mercilessly attacks the party. Repeatedly. With a huge Scythe, no less! McBones (McBonesII) Not really villains in the typical sense, but these annoying, MP-wasting, Poison-Happy Skeletons are everywhere!
 * Neckbeard's sprites are not complete.

NPCs
http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r117/Airship_Canon/The%20Skies%20Beyond/Biolizard28.png Bio (Biolizard28) Bio is a legendary strategist, called upon by the people of the town of Emblemincia when Ri invades to defend the town.
