    Lets delve into the story

    The story takes place in an alternateuniverse. It is somewhat like ours,

    but a little less advanced. There are

    different races of creatures that live

    together in harmony. The world is

    controlled by a race known as The

    Elements. They are Wind, Earth,Water, Ice, Fire, and Metal. The

    Elements keep the world going and

    keep the peace. All beings defer to

    them and go to them for council

    and to resolve disputes. They are

    considered the law and they keeporder. The Elements are timeless

    and have not been known to

    associate with anyone outside their

    race.

    The Elements have been captured. It isknown that whoever controls The Elements

    controls the world. The information leaks out

    that they are being held in separate

    dimensions. There are portals throughout

    the land that leads to where The Elements

    are being held. There has been a guardianput in place to make sure no one can rescue

    The Elements. However, the guardian wants

    The Elements released but is being forced to

    keep them captive. The one behind this coup

    is Jaguar. Along with his trusted lackey, Niko,

    Jaguar is attempting to bend the people to

    his will and control the world. Standing intheir way is Shayla and her sidekick Bastian.

    They have found the location of the portals

    and are now trying to outwit the guardian to

    save The Elements.

    Behind the scenes (Shayla) cont

    Shaylas greatest developmental impact on her value system had tobe when she was 10 years old. Her mother, Shay, was a counselor at

    her grade school and was Shaylas role model. Her mother showed

    her how important school was and the value of helping others.

    There was a girl that Shayla went to school with by the name ofBerney whose parents had just gone through a rough divorce.

    Berneys grades had been slipping in class and she had been assigned

    Shay as a counselor to see about helping her through this roughpatch in her life. It was through many months of counseling that

    Shay was able to help Berney get through this divorce of her parents.

    It was because of this specific event which made Shayla dedicate her

    life to helping others in need just like her mother.

    Behind the scenes (Shayla) cont

    Shayla iss an extreme extrovert. Because of this personality trait it makes it easyfor her to approach and recruit people towards the War cause. Shayla much

    prefers groups of people than time alone to reenergize.

    When the war broke out it wasnt long before Shayla joined forces in retrieving

    the Elements. If the Elements arent save the entire world would be lost.

    Shayla weighs all the pros and cons of any situation before acting on it. Shaylas

    decision to join in the war effort is a perfect example of this. It is because of howshe feels the world will turn out that she has decided to put her effort into saving

    the Elements.

    Shayla is a go getter. She wishes to travel the world. One of her highest pros to

    join the war was her chance to experience something new and exciting.

    Shayla tries to think through all possible decisions that come her way. She also

    thinks through how those decisions might affect her and others. She only makes

    educated risks that have been weighed thoroughly.

    Behind the scenes (Shayla) cont

    Throughout Shaylas many adventures she has met several interestingpeople and creatures. One such was the Guardian who guards the

    portal. After a long discussion with the Guardian she learns that the

    Guardian is in deep turmoil over its current predicament. Shayla learnsshe must locate Jaguar and retrieve and return a diamond back to the

    Guardian. It is because of Shaylas personality that she is able to

    interact with many people and decide on the best course to tackle theproblems she faces throughout the war.

    (Fast forward to Shayla at age 32)

    Shay is arrested for child molestation. It has come out that Shay was

    doing more than counseling the children at the school Shayla went to.This incident has caused Shayla to reevaluate her values that she

    accepted and followed that her mother had instilled in her. If not forher mother she wouldnt be out trying to save the world. She wouldnthave lost so many friends in this horrible war to save the Elements.

    9/31

    Behind the scenes (Shayla) cont

    When Shayla found out about Shay being arrested for child molestation shehad to stop and think on what she was going to do. Shayla had to decide if

    she wanted to support her mother through this crisis or if she was to

    abandon her mother. She also had to decide how she wants to perceive the

    individual accusing her mother. Shayla understands that due to this crisis,she must think outside the box of possibility to determine her manychoices.

    Shayla understands that whatever she decides could make a huge impact onher life. After mulling over the pros and cons of whether or not to support

    her mother or to abandon her, Shayla decides that she will not abandon hermother at this time. Shayla knows that there are more than 2 choices onwhether to support her mother or not to. But at this time she doesnt feelenough information has come forward to allow her to make an educated

    decision. Once more time has passed she will have to readdress this choice.

    Behind the scenes (Bastian) contBastians father, the dwarf, was a great warrior; he fought for a small village. Ever since

    Bastians infancy his father talked to him about battle and how good victory was. One day aburglar sneaked into their farm, Bastians father heard the noise and went to check it out,unarmed, when Bastians father spotted the burglar he made a run for his house to get hisaxe, the burglar heard him and chased him down. As soon as Bastians father reached his axethe burglar threw a dagger at him and ran off. In Bastians fathers final words were so thathe would keep his battle axe but to only use it when completely necessary.

    Bastians mother, had abandoned him and his father at Bastians birth, though he knows very

    little about his mother his father always told Bastian about her, but while his father wasalways at war, Bastian was in need of any parenting.

    Bastian, always wanting to be like his father, he spent his time pretending to battle with haydummies and later on boasted about his victories in battle at the local pub. All throughBastians life friends were hard to come by due to his pride.

    Bastian took care of his father when he was ill and he did all his work for him, for example,farming, hunting, cooking, etc. after his father got better he rewarded Bastian with a brandnew dagger. He learned from this reinforcement that helping is a good way of caring forsomeone.

    Behind the scenes (Bastian) cont

    One time Bastian used played with his dagger and killed all the chickens. His father was furious andmade him work 12 hours under the sun. He learned from this reinforcement that killing is bad unlessyou are going to eat your prey.

    Bastian in his childhood he spent a lot of time in the village pub boasting about his alleged adventures.What wasnt mentioned before was that he also was a lousy poker player. One day he saw this strange

    looking humanoid walk in, he was obviously not from the village. The, for lack of a better word, man satdown at the poker table and started playing, when Bastian caught him cheating he grabbed a smalldagger his father gave to him so he always carried it around and lunged at him but stabbed thewaitress who jumped in front of him to protect him.

    (Fast forward) Bastian has reached the age of 45 and is now thinking about all his fame, all his fortune,all the battles he has been in, was it all worth leaving the village where his family including himself grewup in? He also questions his own happiness, all the money anyone would ever want, has it made himhappy? All the fame anyone can ever stand, has it all been worth it? Bastian had put fame and moneyas a priority before but now that he reaches the middle of his life, he begins to become bored of it all.

    13/31

    Behind the scenes (Bastian) cont

    Battling in a surprise attack Bastian was defending his home using his fathers battle axe as

    his weapon, by this time Bastian was a fully trained warrior, he knows how to use anyweapon that is put on his hand. When all of a sudden he loses grip of his axe and he is leftdefenseless, he still feels this urge to engage his enemy even without a weapon and so hegoes with his instincts. Bastian found out that he was a more efficient warrior using his handsthan he was using any weapon. From then on he always went into battle with no weapons,only body armor. He was known all around the world for his amazing skills as a warrior. Oneday he had a dream of him fighting off a raid of bandits off of his village, this dream

    frightened him, and so he traveled to his village to make sure that everything was in order.Obviously when he arrived he was welcomed like a king. There he was reunited with hismother; she had heard of his fame and decided to return to the village where he was born ifthere was any chance he would return. She persuaded him to stay the night and to makeleave to his new home first thing in the morning. That very night he woke in the middle of thenight by the screams of his mother being murdered right next to him, the feeling he got whenhis father was killed had returned to him. He then stood up and started fighting the banditsoff. The next morning nothing of the village was left, only a handful of villagers remained andso he invited them to join him in rebuilding the village house by house.

    Bastian must choose between leaving his village with Shayla to save the elements or to stayin his village protecting it from enemy attacks. Bastian has chosen to leave his village tohelp Shayla save the elements, Bastian figured that by saving the elements he would besecuring a good reputation when he got back to the village, and if he stayed in the village hewould be wasting his time and doing the same thing he has been doing for the past years,

    which was nothing.

    Behind the scenes (Jaguar) cont

    Born on the planet Htrae, where Jaguar lived most of his childhood in isolation as per his race

    believes in self-reliance to survive. All he had to go by were teachings written in the native

    tongue of Quesgarian (language of the beasts) upon the mountain tops of the Uria

    mountains. The teachings taught him about how to make his way in the world with hard

    work and self-efficiency. This was all in good till one day

    He was undergoing training around the age of 14 when he came in contact with another. The

    young Quesgarian was dumbfounded at the sight of his fellow quesgarian, similar in age they

    got along. Well he was struggling in his training, so he decided to let this other guy help

    whose name was Ongler. Well all was going good for a while but Ongler felt himself getting

    away from the teachings of self-reliance and thus felt that Jaguars leeching was hindering his

    abilities so he tried to cut him off, well Jaguar didnt like this, for the first time to come in

    contact with someone and then to incur the harsh feeling of abandonment, he flew off thedeep end and lashed out at Ongler, well it didnt end at all well for Ongler. For Ongler in his

    struggle to fight back lost his balance and fell off of the side of the mountains. Jaguar instead

    of feeling guilt he felt relieved and a sense of power. At that moment he knew what wanted,

    he wanted more of this feeling of power, he wanted all of it that he could possess.

    Behind the scenes (Jaguar) cont

    Jaguar took in an apprentice one day; his name was Niko. He had ahumanoid lizard like body, and hissed most of his speech. Jaguar thought

    that he could make a profit by having Nikos help in his dealings. Niko

    loved taking advantage of people, and one day after a sizeable job Jaguar

    learned this. They both returned to the base after their job and then

    Jaguar went to grab his half of the profits from Niko. Niko then said, Icant believe that you trusted me, you FOOL! At that moment, Niko

    threw something at Jaguar. Once Jaguar saw that it was a bomb he tried

    to avoid it, but he was severely injured. It took him several months to

    recover from the injuries.

    17/31

    Behind the scenes (Jaguar) cont

    Jaguar soon thereafter left Htrae and went to Sram, the main capital planet of the universe.

    Where he was in back alleys and slums for the most part just trying to make a living at the

    expense of others. His big opportunity came when a grifter saw one of his cons and realized

    this guys potential. Well he was taught everything from who people were, to the statuses

    and how to get what you want. But even for the grifter, Jaguar was too greedy and just

    wanted more. Thats when he heard about the elements. He knew then and there what hehad to do. He had to capture the elements, now the only problem was how and when.

    Jaguar saw this wealthy looking woman walking in the main city. He was a little curious

    about her and followed her to the restaurant she was heading too. Well he started chatting

    her up and using some of his suave to try to get her to invite him to dinner. It worked, very

    much so, and Jaguar told her that he had a business that he wasnt trying to develop and he

    just needed a little starting cash. Thats when the lady said that she would make aninvestment in him and gave him a good sum of money. Jaguar told her how to communicate

    with him (the information was false of course though), and after that night Jaguar never

    talked to her again. After leaving the bar, a strange old guy approached Jaguar and told him

    that he had potential and did a good job at conning the woman, and he wanted Jaguar to

    work for him. Jaguar accepted.

    18/31

    Behind the scenes (Jaguar) cont

    Jaguar was at a local gathering spot, trying to hustle some others out of their cash in a few

    games of Kinflax (a unique game of sleight of hand using cards, dice, and a dead rat). There

    was a waitress there that caught his eye, Gentra. Jaguar thought she was beautiful, but

    didnt let her know it. She tried to initiate several conversations, just to be dismissed by

    Jaguar. Jaguar did feel like for this girl, but didnt want to show it. Then she touched him on

    the shoulder and whispered in his ear, You dont have to worry, I wont bite.Then Jaguar

    turned to her and looked into her eyes, then he leaned in to kiss her, and thats when the

    dice fell from his sleeve pocket. A man across the table yelled at him and lunged forward.

    The guy who caught me, his name was Bastian. He yelled saying How dare you cheat us, you

    shall pay. Then Bastian lunged at Jaguar with his knife Jaguar stood up but and tried to

    move but fumble. As the man lunged forward he pulled a knife out and thrust his arm

    forward trying to stab Jaguar, but Genta jumped in front of Jaguar yelling, Stop, dont! And

    thats when the blade pierced Gentas heart instead of Jaguars. Jaguar then ran out as fast

    as he could.

  • 8/9/2019 Final Project 15

    19/31

    Behind the scenes (Jaguar) cont

    He does not remember feeling for her or their conversation. He only remembers

    playing a game and someone caught him cheating and this woman idiotically

    jumped in front of him, and the guy stabbed her. Whenever he sees a girl that

    looks like her, he feels warmth and guilt, yet he doesnt know why. He felt a sort

    of loss when he played Kinflax so he didnt play as much anymore.

    Jaguar was in the main gateway between portals and thats when he met Alyahs

    (the guardian) for the first time. Something about her was familiar and he felt this

    sensation of warmth and guilt come over him. He had to talk to her and find out

    all about her. He never knew why he felt like that when he saw her, but he found

    out a lot more about her that will enable him to fulfill his plan to capture the five

    elements.

  • 8/9/2019 Final Project 15

    20/31

    Behind the scenes (Jaguar) cont

    Jaguar then made Alyahs create a rift with the portal to xtense, which caused the

    dimension to start folding in on itself and break apart into 5 separate dimensions all

    fragments of the former dimension, stuck there not able to be able to work with one

    another the elements were powerless by themselves, and thus with alyahs holding them

    inside the fragmented dimensions Jaguar now controlled the power that he so craved. The

    sway of the elements. He is very articulate in his speech, and can make most anyone comearound to his frame of thinking. He is good at coming up with an idea and convincing

    someone else that it was their idea so that they like it even if they didnt. He can say the

    worst things to you and make them sound like he just complimented you in the nicest way

    possible. Pretty much he can spoon feed you a bunch of crap and make you like it.

    Jaguar, due to events that happened to him in the past he doesnt trust many people. He

    understands people very well and is very good at reading them. He can play on theiremotions to be able to influence their actions.

    He is conflicted in what actually makes him happy, he doesnt know himself as much as he

    lets on. He chooses not to let anyone close to him, because he is afraid of feeling and what

    it might do to him. He thinks that if he cares then he will be become less than he is.

    Behind the scenes (The Guardian) cont

    Before time was recorded there was alwaysan Ethereal in the world, dramatic in theircreation born from a dying star livingthroughout the universe for an eternity.

    Alyahs was different from all those beforeher, being endowed with enormous amounts ofpower hidden in the form of a necklace from theElements, three diamonds together to represent hermind, body, and spirit, if any of which were to bedestroyed her existence would be forever gone

    while unleashing the power of a cosmoscataclysmically.

    Born as an Ethereal meant she could neverbe in one place in full form, taking on any form shewanted, born as an agent to the Elements to do that

    which they could not.

    Behind the scenes (The Guardian) cont

    A sheltered childhood communing with her creators left littlewant for socialization,never knowing corruption until she hadmatured enough to understand what was happening. At age twelveshe was tasked to broker a peace between the Humans and therebelling Quesgarians, being introduced to the harshas an experience rather than to achieve the goal. With theresolution in her mind to simply separate the two races from each

    other, she set out.

    Her first taste was the extreme hatred that was prevalent betweenthem, most of the diplomatic talks ending poorly and fights breaking outover the smallest of whispers. Her presence did nothing to quiet thedissent and war broke out all over the continent. Taking a reprieve toreview a way to end the fighting she materialized on a cliff piece near a

    battlefield, with the fight still going on she cried out in horror at what besether.

    The mortals doing everything they could to destroy each otherinstead of resolving it peacefully, unspeakable acts happening as shecried for the fallen, eventually the fighting subsided... the carnageburning through her, eating at her.

    24/31

    Behind the scenes (The Guardian) cont

    During this time glimpses of her own kind were found onboth sides, coming through the portals spread across the world;Not sitting idly by but participating and adding to the destruction.Her own kind feeding off the frenzy then she was nowhere,floating weightless.

    After a few moments passed, trails of people appeared

    below her all walking in one direction, she followed them for quitesome time as she thought over everything she had seen andattempted to put it all together.

    Souls of the dead, beings who were stuck in purgatory with nopurpose, on the path to eternity ofnothing. Much like a roadway streetsbranched off, occasionally the living mix with the dead traveling in and outof the dimensional plain.

    Exploring these avenues, a presence of guilt overcame her, whatthe Elements called the Ghast Door was in front of her. A portal were allsouls eventually reside in, the longer she stayed the harder it was to lookaway, transfixed without purpose. Watching different times clashing andthe souls falling in to the whirlpool, it started to pull on her, tugging on her...

    feeding on her essence.

    25/31

    She descended slowly, decades had passed before regaining hersenses, the abyss of eternity having nearly consumed her. What broke thespell was a call from the Elements, a warm sensation emanating from within,removing the coldness of the door.

    Having been summoned by the Elements saved Alayhs from suredeath, however the interaction with the Ghast Door left her feeling as if shewas missing something, something she could never replace.

    After talking with The elements, Alayhs travelled down to the mortal

    realms. Her task is to save a lost soul, for quite some time Alayhs wanderedin villages and beer halls trying to find a reason to save the life of another,but this day felt different. Something was tugging on her again like theGhast door, something unsettling that required investigation.

    26/31

    Jaguar by looks alone was an unfriendly person to be around, having a

    history of disorder... just another lost cause. To meld with the populace as shetravelled she took up odd jobs around the area, one day would be keeping aneye on sheep or like now bar tending. Watching Jaguar cheat at a simple cardgame was enjoyable for a bit, when he stood up from his latest winningsAlyahs went near him to refresh his jug.

    A sudden rush overcame Alyahs as their eyes met, a feeling that filledthe void she had attained, then everything caught back up. A loud soundoccurred, dice falling out ofJaguar's pocket notably fake, his former opponentnoticed this and drew a weapon. Out of an known motive Alyahs dove in frontof the blade that would have killed Jaguar, he left the scene uncaring.

    Along the avenue to the Ghast Door, Alyahs is troubled why Jaguar hadleft her alone, unknowingly betrayed. The last remnant of her humanity is lostat his lack of caring, a cold hearted demeanor overtakes her. Valuing to neverlet herself to be sacrificed so worthlessly.

    27/31

    Moving closer to the Ghast door, Alyahs recalled everything about

    her actions in the Second War. Obliterated the ground forces to end thewar, the general populace regards Alyahs as a "She-Devil" and someone tonot be trifled with. Local ghost stories speak of her and parents using heractions as preventive punishment for wrongdoing, "Don't go trading mycow for magic beans, otherwise Alyahs will come and get you."

    Dealing with the trauma of the failed test by the Elements, sheretreated into the seclusion the void offered and the Ghast door gave.Staring into the abyss of the door she reflected on what happened, howeverything culminated into all out war from her actions; then the otherEthereal what were they doing there, why where they helping the fight?

    For years she thought of it while being pounded by guilt of notacting, every thought enhanced by the Ghast door until the Elementssummoned her. In conversations with others she is reserved from thatordeal, judging and always confiding in herself rather than reaching outfor help.

    Jaguar had been spottedtraveling the portals, Alyahs went out

    to meet him and fix her thoughts withhis to try and understand him. Thechoice was hers to make whether tokill him for his crimes or to let him

    live.S

    he caught up to him after a bitof time passed, he was obviouslywaiting for her thoughts raced throughAlyahs' head at this prospect.

    Throwing away the feeling tokill him she embraced him, searching

    for words to talk, but before she couldutter a word... he did something...something that hurt beyond measure.

    He had taken a jewel fromher necklace, time stood still in hermind with so many thoughtspounding on her... to let him liveand risk dying and possiblydestroying the mortal realm, or to

    sit back and brood to figure out away to live and keep the mortalswell.

    A year passes before anotherperson travels near her plane, thistime a human. A warmth

    surrounded the person in front ofher by the name ofShayla.

    Shayla having the idea that shattering the jewel wouldn't destroy themortal plane, but only a facet of Alyahs, breaking only the bond the Elements

    had placed on her.

    And the plot thickens

    Shayla and Bastian got came up with a plan to try to take back the crystalfrom Jaguar and return it to the Guardian. Upon getting the crystal backthe Guardian would restore the dimensions and allow the Elementals togo free.

    Shayla sent Bastian to nearby cities to try to put together a rebellion

    force. They managed to get a resistance ofnearly 1000 men, but Jaguarwas up to his own tricks as well. Jaguar got wind of this resistance, andstarted forming his own counter resistance, except Jaguar was able to domost of it himself since he had the powers of the Elementals flowing intohim.

    The Guardian Alyahs didnt want to keep the Elementals at bay, but hadno choice due to the leverage that Jaguar had on her. She couldnt go onletting this happen, so she exerted some of her spiritual energy intoJaguar to give him memories of them that night that they shared at thebar hoping he would feel something and stop this madness for her, butsomething went horribly wrong. She couldnt cut off her transference.Jaguar ended up engulfing the entirety of Alyahs spiritual being.

    The plot thickens even more

    Jaguar felt such immense powernow. He did remember that night, thoughharsh for him to feel that guilt, his emotions were overwhelmed by sheer

    power. In those few moments that it took for this to happen, across all of thedimensions a miraculous flash of light sprang forth originating from the soul ofJaguar. He was now the Guardian, but he was much more. He was that whohad limitless power.

    Shortly after that had happened, Shayla and her little army mounted an attack

    on the main gateway where the new guardiannow housed himself. The fightdid not last for long, for it was a one sided battle. Jaguar with his new powerslaid waste to the inferior rebels. Shayla determined to put an end to it lungedfrom behind Jaguar with her sword. With a slight twist Jaguar escaped neardeath, but incurred a hearty blow to his left shoulder, he then spun around anddelivered a devastating blow to the side of Shayla. The bones in Shaylas sideyelled as they cracked, and Bastian in an attempt to save Shayla dove to her

    side and barely pulled her away into another portal.

    They knew they couldnt defeat him right now. This was not going to be won ina single battle, they are at warnow. Bastian heard tales of a mighty power, theXaxthir, a demonic Djinn that will grant his summoners a single wish, but it hasconsequences. Fornow they had to run, but soon they will venture to find outhow to summon the Djinn. Their main concern is to stop Jaguar, but thequestion is, to what price will they have to pay to do so.
