Working Title: Memento Mori

Story Breakdown

The main factors in the games story are:

* The island builds a nuclear power station
* 3 years later when the nuclear has been working for a month the main reactor implodes causing a nuclear explosion.
* Because the island was in a certain radius the structures and environment was barely scratched by the physical explosion but 100 miles of the island was completely destroyed.
* Many people died from radiation but most of the island inhabitants became mutated.

Story line from start of game

Paul (one of the main characters) was in prison a year before the accident and the day before the explosion Paul was put into solitary confinement (Lead Casing) which saved his life. The door to the Paul’s cell is opened and Steve (another main character) appears holding a handgun. Steve and Paul make their way to the prison’s main building hoping to find supplies, bullets, shelter and other survivors. The pair found that the prison was empty and contains all the needed stuff for a main base (Safe House).

Steve explains what happened by showing Paul newspaper clippings and video files from the internet. Paul wants to go and have a look at the nuclear reactor and what the island looks like.

Paul is giving a gun and goes to the power plant (If multiplayer Steve goes too) and explores the reactor. Near the centre of the power plant commotion is heard and as Paul and Steve get to the doorway a big demon walks past (soul eater – see sketches) holding a girl around the age of 20. Paul and Steve shoot at the demon no effect and have to shoot gas canisters to create an explosion.

After the last canister has been shot the soul eater drops the girl and is flown towards Paul and knocks them both into an active nuclear reactor. The reactor cause’s Paul and the soul eater to mutate together (Keeping Paul’s appearance). Steve is seen through Paul’s eyes and fades as Paul loses unconscious.
   
If two player then Steve has to carry Paul and the girl to the van outside and drive back to the safe house.

Paul wakes up in the prison medical centre, Steve is on the laptop and notices Paul waken up and throw’s a PDA at him. (PDA will be a way of communicating, viewing status and a map of the island.) Steve explains he’s edited the PDA so Paul can understand it (Paul has dyslexia) by using images. Steve explains a way to get off the island and it’s a boat stuck at the docks but looks like its broken (Satellite link up).

Okiba starts to wake up and Steve explains about the soul eater and what happened. Okiba looks at Paul and tells him about the soul eater and what they do. Okiba tells Paul that in order to increase the power of the soul eater and increase the power of Paul he will need to absorb the souls of people who have lost free will. Free will can be lost when sleeping, knocked out or the mutated population of the island. Okiba starts to feel faint and collapsed. Steve and Paul have to find a doctor that survives the explosion.      

The user goes to find a doctor using the help of the PDA and satellite link up and bring a doctor to Okiba. The doctor inspects Okiba and finds out she is not human. Okiba starts to wake up with the doctor still there and she tells them that she is not a human but an elemental and she ages 4 times slower than humans. Okiba tells them about her home world. The prison then starts to shake and through the window a portal opens up and beast’s start to walk out. Okiba recovers her sword from her equipment in the corner of the room and heads out the door.

Playing as Okiba the user learns how to use Okiba’s movements, her magic and swords.  

Part of the prison was damaged and the user has to find a survivor who’s a builder. Steve knows one and puts the data on the PDA. Steve also hands Okiba a PDA who seems to want to stay.  

(The user can now free roam with any of the three main characters and complete the storyline for the characters.) (Any characters can do any of the main missions but the sub missions must be done be the needed character.)
