 Earth was not only consisted of humans and animals. Mythical creatures like monsters, orcs, elves, beast people and gods were also apart of earth's ecosystem. Everyone on Earth got along until an elf spokesmen was assassinated secretly. A note was found on the body. It said that a human did it. Enraged the elves made an alliance with many races excluding the humans and some races who believed that humans weren't the ones who killed the spokesperson. Their objective was to kill off the human race altogether. The legendary hero Pedro Zapata was able to find the murderer and killed him. This murderer was a blood sacrifice to a God called Oblivion. After defeating said god they were granted a wish. They used that wish to relocate the mythical beings to a carbon copy of Earth. Unfortunately the wish they made wasn’t specific enough so the mythical beings had an empty slate of their new home. This meant that they had to somehow reconstruct their civilizations, this led to conflict between the mystical races. Most of them went to different locations to separate themselves.  Pedro Zapata had a communication device with the king of the elves, they were able to make a portal from Earth to Gaia. The other races later on found out about this and began a war against the elves. Pedro Zapata realized that everyone is after him so he decided to go to Gaia and help with the elves. Unfortunately he went missing, presumed to be dead. Reina Axton, Pedro’s girlfriend gave birth to a child.

Characters: 

The Turnside Character Mission explains Chase's bio

Elizabeth Lowens - A half elf and human princess of Gaia’s Central City. Very cocky and short tempered. She has a superiority complex as she believes as a princess, everyone should respect her and do what she says. She is also racist

Travis Sanchez - The second oldest in the group. He’s very relaxed and vastly enjoys playing card games. Travis never allows negative emotions to get to him even at the hardest times. Prefers to be distant from others but will converse if needed be. Loves sleeping

Wyatt Cole - A calm and intelligent person. Unlike the vast majority of the group he holds his emotions in, but inside he’s insecure and worried about what people think of him due to a dark past that he can’t overcome. Wyatt can devise strategies to win any dangerous situations.

Prinys - A half elf and orc male who is shunned from his village because of his heritage (Many people in Gaia don’t like interracial offspring) Orcs usually prefer offense over defense but due to fear of death, Prinys wears heavy armor. Prinys is somewhat timid as he barely has any social interactions. 

Hachi Axton- Chase’s one year old Shiba Inu. She is easily frightened by any loud noises which is problematic as she’s trained to be a support dog for the group. She is usually hyper active and enjoys playing with children. She’s very close to Chase as they constantly play with one another.

Blasie Cole - A short tempered guy that’s competitive compared to everyone else. He loves nature as he wants to be a park ranger. Living on the streets has taught him many things but underneath that tough and rough demeanor shows a relaxed cool guy.

Therese Fernadez - A shy girl that has quite the temper when pissed. After the death of her sister she feels that she’ll be the next in line to die. She’s pessimistic due to her trauma. She also finds making friends pointless as she believes they’ll die too.

Greynog - A dinosaur that’s apart of a nearly extinct species called the Growthnosaurus Spruk. Greynog developed the ability to grow in any size she chooses at a early age which means that she can’t control her abilities and causes issues in the group. She has a best friend that rides her called Raptor which is a actual Raptor

Kennedy Cervantes - A quiet and reserved boy who suffers from anxiety. He considers Chase to be his best friend. Due to his family working with the Shadow Ninja’s he’s taught how to use the dark ninja arts. He wishes the responsibilities he has could be put to someone else.

Rinoa Domica - A timid girl that deals has trust issues due to a fake friendship with someone else. Her mother expects her to be the most pretty and well respected woman. But that causes issues because of her choice of masucline clothing

Gameplay/Interface: The game is mainly 2D with pixel art. Players traverse the world by either using the analog stick and D-pad in a third person view. To interact with objects and people, the player simply has to press the confirm button. In dungeons the player may come face to face with monsters where it’ll shift from a  third person view to first person. Only five characters are able to fight monsters. The Overworld map will be similar to Sonic Rush where Chase will walk to certain points that represent a location. When the player enters a location they’ll be able to walk freely. As typical JRPG games go they will be levels, equipment and use of items. Being that there will be 10-11 playable characters, Players can swap out their party lineup on the world map, cities and towns. Players will also be able to undertake simple side quests that are simple fetch quests and may add character development to certain NPCs. There are special side quests called Party Quests where party members can bond with one another to increase their relationship rank. (And no there will be no romance) 

Mechanics:

Boss Battle Bingo: During the course of the game, you’ll gain access to the Boss Battle Bingo Board. The BBB discourages players from doing simple actions and instead allows the player to stay on their toes and exploit the boss.  If all five characters fill a bingo row a roulette will appear and the roulette will turn until it stops, whoever it lands on will get the bingo boost. If someone achieves bingo by themselves they’ll get it automatically, if one character gets two or more slots and another character gets less, the roulette leans on the characters who filled in the more bingo slots. The character with the most slots filled will have a higher chance of getting the bingo boost. bingo boost will last a certain amount of turns being that it’s similar to a force boost. Should the player fills out another bingo row and the roulette lands on a character that has bingo boost, they’ll activate bingo burst. Bingo burst is an ultimate skill that deals devastating damage to enemies. Bingo Boost are mainly buffs that can hit weakness and can deal double the damage. Instead of a supportive skill targeting one ally, it’ll target all allies, it’ll apply to healing and shield skills. Elemental attacks are stronger. Normal Attacks hit twice.

Relationship Rank- After undertaking party quests characters can increase their relationship rank with one another. Chain Attacks are skills that rely on follow-ups from other characters. The max level of relationship ranks is 5

Five Man Rush- If all party members followed up during a chain attack, it’ll be called a five man rush. Five man Rush increases stats and characters can use synchronized attacks from RNG

Enemies and bosses will consist of beasts, demons, angels, humans, zombies, dragons, orcs, elves, beast people and gods. There is no alignment system so killing a demon or angel doesn’t result in a different ending.

Challenges will include puzzles,fun but somewhat difficult mini games that are required to progress through the story and difficulty spikes that encourages the players to make strategic decisions in random encounters and bosses.
