= Plot =
25 years ago, the noble king of Caecenia was usurped by a rebel force within his own land. The chief usurpers, named the Seven, have broken up the kingdom. Their regions are named for the color of their banners.
Life since then has been chiefly peaceful. This peace, however, is an oppressive one. The people of the land suffer under heavy taxation in order to finance the Seven's lavish tournaments, their way of deciding domestic and geographic squabbles. Only the best knights under the employ of each of the Seven are allowed to participate to further their region's advancement.
Kari of The Red would have been one such knight. Loyal to her region of The Red yet disgruntled with her relegation to fetch quests, she longs to become a tournament knight. But it seems it will never happen.
That is, until she and her friend, Natch, are forced out of their hometown by the Red's knights,
who are searching for twin heroes of fire and ice...
Three in twain regard
Divided is the renard.
= [WIP] Features: =
-Find the remaining two pieces of the mask in a Zelda-style open world!
-Compete to be the top tournament fighter under the banner of each Lord, then turn the tables on the officials by donning the mask and undermining their entire region! (Saving the peasants in the process, of course)
-Customize your battling approach with skills and gear!
(More coming later)

= [Current] Cast =
Kari (final artwork in progress)
The main character and underappreciated
knight of The Red. She has a bit of a temper,
but has a good sense of justice and mercy.
Le Renard (final artwork in progress)
Kari's alter-ego and freer self. Wearing the
mask bolsters her confidence and that of
the people she helps.
Natch
An upbeat girl who is
Hodge's employee and suffers from narcolepsy.
Hodges (final artwork in progress)
The Red's most popular shopkeeper
and Natch's employer.
Basil
(artwork in progress)
A fox that has the habit of appearing
around Hodges' shop whenever Natch
falls asleep.
Frederick
One of Kari's fellow knights who is
in love with Natch. He isn't quite
aware of her problem, and no one
has the heart to mention it to him.

-I've been trying to complete a single project for almost a year now, and hopefully this will be my first one.
-I'm slowly but steadily making progress on it. I will post a demo when it gets to a satisfactory state.
-Most of the above sprites that I have yet to create final images for are in the Fantasy Hero Pack for VX Ace (I'm actually using MV for creation), are by Katakura Hibiki and published by Degica.
-I'm using some of Ækashics' animated side-view battlers, found here: http://www.akashics.moe/
Please leave any thoughts or suggestions below :)
