Introducing Project: Jericho

I said during the last Dev update that I was working on a second project called "Project: Jericho".

It's a futuristic VN taking place in a Dystopian future.

And I feel like today, I am ready to reveal it to you.

Project: Jericho is another VN made using HS2, an engine with a more realistic touch, dearly needed for the story I want to tell with that VN.

First and foremost, it is important to note that Tales of Unity and Project Jericho are connected.

How and why, you'll have to either figure it out, or finish Tales of Unity.

This post will state the main thing to know about the project, mostly small news too, to see more renders and actual characters, you'll have to wait a bit, another post is planned introducing and showing ALL the characters currently ready !

What, where, when, who ?

Project Jericho puts you in the shoes of a young man heir to a genius father that perfected the use of energy to prevent humanity's need for energy to spell it's doom saving the planet's slow agony in the process.

Despite being the son of an eminent scientist and technological prodigy, you grew up alone, taken under the wing of Fey (Not in the banner above), an elven woman, while her connection to your father might not be clear, she raised you as her own, you and your other childhood friend, Emma and Marius.

Characters: 

"Fey" Elf Age 39: Ever since your first step in this world, Fey has been the one taking care of you, Motherly, smug and sweet her focus through your entire life has been to keep you safe as a mother would.

Fey is a tall brown skinned elven woman with jade eyes, and dark red hair flourished with a freckled body.

Her past is still foggy, if not unknown.

(Fey isn't on the banner)

"Marius Vander" Human (Elven heritage) Age 22: Marius has always been this hot headed idiot, he's been your closest friends through thick and thin, but don't repeat that to Emma, or else she might get jealous.

Marius focused his adulthood on his passions living a simple and fulfilling life, he's always been a relaxed and kind person towards his close friends, his love and passion for cringe humor and concept does seem to lead to more uncomfortable silences than cries of hillarity, despite that he proved to be a great source of advices during your teenage years.

Marius grew up without any parent, he was raised under the care of Fey, it is rumored that his mother was a close colleague of YOUR father.

"Emma Dimolto" Half Elf (Goblin heritage) Age 20: Emma is a kind and reserved young woman, born from a human Father and an Elf Mother she still developed traits related to goblins, probably a recessive trait from one of her parent, she's taller than most goblins, and smaller than most humans, and yet she's got the elegant shape of an elf.

Through her life she showed numerous interest in various domains, arts, sciences, philosophy, and biology, she's a tease to her friend Marius, which she considers as her older brother.

She always had a crush on you, never tried to hide it either, you never really acted upon it despite Fey's obnoxious teasing.

(Emma is on the far left of the banner)

"Sally Grunbog" Goblin Age 24: Sally is a Barista at your local "hideout", she was your first ever girlfriend, you first met during Middle school despite having a small romance with her in High school, you never met her parents.

Unfortunately every good thing has an end, and while you two were blossoming together she had to leave to study elsewhere, leaving your good homie Marius to pick you back up from the depth of a brutal break up.

After only three years away, Sally returned to your town attending a coffee shop as a Barista, and while she's been back for only a few days old link seem to tie you back together.

(Sally is on Marius' right)

"Vallery X 'Val' human? Age 21: Vallery X is from the Undercity, the counterpart of your town, a place filled with misery ruled by an opressive state and managed by crime lords.

Raised by the crime Lord "Lewis Ekis"  alongside numerous brothers and sisters Val had to fend for herself in the slums of the undercity 

'In the undercity, you either survive honest or live rotten' - Lewis Ekis.

The circunstances in which you and Vallery meet are unusual to say the least but quickly becomes the first step in a maze leading to civil war.

Her skin and eyes are of a pure white unusual, especially for a human.

Vallery won't be developped on this post as her character needs to be experienced without any knowledge of her past.

(Vallery is big bittie Goth GF next to Emma)

And many other characters... (I have elves with abs definition planned yes.)

I think a proper introduction to the world needs another post, and I don't want to overwhelm you with information, here are these first 5 characters.

Tell me what you think about the setting and these characters, how do they look, what do you think about them and about the project itself ?

Thanks in advance for your feedback and take care !
