(Progress Percentage Undecided)
Irina Academy is a game I originally planned in VXAce, but have decided to make in MV instead at this stage. I'm working on developing it slowly by myself, but with help from friends at points. Though the graphics and such I'm currently using are primarily built into MV (characters are made in the generator at this stage) I might change them before actual release. I'll be using a lot of spoiler tags to keep things feeling tidy...Early apologies for that.
Note that I'm still debating if the game will be commercial or not. I'm also debating recreating certain terms later to be in Latin, for some reason.
Basic Summary
Erin Lyle thought himself an ordinary and somewhat boring guy- until he was somehow invited on scholarship to the elite "Irina Academy", known for only accepting the brightest and most gifted of students- which he's certain he is not. Once he meets the principal, however, he learns that the term "gifted" doesn't always just imply a genius like he thought. The ancient myth of The Children of the Elements is far more real than he'd ever imagined...

I'm not sure how to rate the game yet, but the following are the warnings as for reasons for the high rating.
1. A lot of mentions of death
2. Mention of rape
3. Mention of Domestic Abuse (mostly emotional, might include physical, not sure)
4. Mention of Alcohol.
5. Plethora of mental health issues.

1. While your primary character will always be Erin, there are about 9 other characters that can join your party once they're unlocked.
2. Though it's not required much in the main storyline, there is planned to be a 'friendship' system, much like dating systems in other games- the closer you become with a character, the more content you'll get to see that you wouldn't otherwise. You can become friends with all playable characters as well as certain NPCs.
3. Depending on which characters are in your party, you will have the opportunity to use Combination Skills. I'm still figuring out how damage will work.
4. Quests will be an intricate part of the game, and help you throughout your mission given to you by the Principal. While some will be mandatory, others won't be- but might lead you to secrets that might just teach you about the truth behind the lore you've been given.
5. Some items are planned to only be usable on certain characters. Some characters also have special passive skills that cause them to be in perpetual states- I'll share that below.
6. Fights can happen anywhere. Though there are dungeons that you'll use to train and push the story along, you might end up challenged by your classmates as well. Keep your guard up!
7. A day/night time schedule. To be decided how it'll work.
-I will add more details here as I think of what to include-

Faces will be included later. I'm not quite ready to post them now.
Erin Lyle: 18. A gentle, kind-hearted and open-minded boy with low self-esteem. Though he sees himself as not-so-interesting, he's been told he has a gift himself- one he has no knowledge of. Will be living on-campus.
Leanne Lyle: 18. Erin's twin sister with a sadistic streak and a sensitivity to sunlight. She won't come in until later in the game, when she joins you as a student. She seems to be related to the lore much like Erin...Will be living on-campus.
Jorda Bailey: 15, Child of the Earth. A girl with a need for order and schedules, she's not very cooperative at times due to being a bit obsessive. She's often seen sunbathing, due to her ability to use photosynthesis. She's the slowest character, with a perpetual "Stuck" state. Lives off-campus.
Ilda Nora: 20, Child of the Fire. A woman with a hot-head and a naturally high body temperature. Though she's a gang leader, she has a strong sense of justice and chivalry. Lives off-campus in a boarding house.
Lyn Rowell: 17, Child of Thunder. A young, spastic girl with an ever-cheerful persona and a lack of an attention span. She's often called the walking battery because she can use the static surrounding her to charge her phone, amongst other things. She lives off-campus with her grandfather and five younger siblings.
Luft Williams: 18, Child of the Wind. An aloof girl that lacks any sense of direction and is always in a perpetual state of being "Afloat". Though she's supposed to be living with her mother and half-brother, she gets lost by being blown by the breeze, and seems to see home as somewhere else.
Vanna Soliana: 22, Child of the Water. Calm and collected, Vanna is always at her best when she's in the water, and she can breathe in it too! Lives off-campus with her parents and two younger siblings.
Keith (possibly to be renamed): Age undecided. Keith is Erin's roommate and supporter. He's a good listener though a bit of a goof at times. He seems to know a lot about what Erin's going through for some reason...
Corona: Age undecided. The student council's president and the school headmistress's granddaughter. Corona knows about Erin's situation and will act as a voice of reason and aid when able. She has a mix of a sweet and sour personality, sometimes kind and sometimes harsh. She lives on-campus in the girl's dorms.
Ian: Age undecided. The student council's vice president and the local conspiracy theorist, Ian also knows about your scenario. He has a lot of advice to offer and is a great tactician, but seems to have a lot of mysteries to him- like how he has classified documents in his room so often...Lives on-campus in the same dorm as Erin.
Iris: Age 50 or so (not fully sure yet). The headmistress that invited Erin to the academy free of charge. A seemingly kind woman with some tricks of her sleeve, no one seems to fully know what she's thinking at any time. Her authority, however, is absolute.
