From Ashes We Rise [FAWR / WIP] Upd. 30. Oct

That… makes sense. Sounds better anyway xD
Thanks, I will edit that!

Here’s your cookie! :cookie:
Ah no, seriously. Stray will thank you for not ratting him out to the cops. Of course, we will gain something in the long run from him because of that, but currently he will just be helpful.

Ok, I am sensing a but here @Wraith, am I correct or being too suspicious?

…Where do you see a but? I am not really sure what you talk about if you don’t elaborate further, sorry. °^^

I ment but as in “he will help you if…” kind of thing.

So, I’m under the impression Troy’s trying to be coy and likely do a little covert espionage if you start to get him suspicious at the cafe (i.e pet Ace even though you shouldn’t if you want to remain anonymous), but… the way this one segment flows makes it seem like he’s pressing the question rather than be sly about it.

[“So,” he starts and you listen to him. “Are you from around her(e)?” It is such a trite question that it almost seems subtle. “Haven’t seen you around here before.” Again, he offers a little smile.]

It might just be a case of redundancy, but he’d sound a lot more subtle if you removed that second instance of “here” so that it’d be:

[“Are you from around here?” It is such a trite question that it almost seems subtle. “Haven’t seen you around before.”]

Or maybe:

[“Are you from the city?” It is such a trite question that it almost seems subtle. “Haven’t seen you around here before.”]

Edit: @moonwalkerdragon The “but” is that you have to have not called the cops on him. Then he’ll be helpful. :stuck_out_tongue:

Then you are wrong ^^ There is no but. He just helps you if you don’t rat him out. If you would arrest him, then he would take you to a side mission, where you can get more time with Stray.

And thank you, Lithophene! :slight_smile:

I just played this for the 7th time or so and I just… wow, I didn’t know it was posible but it seems like the more I replay it the more I like this, and I adore this story. I really like that you have a lot of options to choose what kind of person your MC will become but there’s also some room to leave things to your imagination.

I also imagine my MC as a clueless flirt(?) Like, with Stray he immediately started flirting back, but if characters don’t make it really clear they are flirting with him or when they are “maybe” flirting, he doesn’t get it and think they are acting strange or something like that.

I don’t know if it has been said before but I feel that Crow has gotten quite depressed after the MC died and either still is or is just getting out of it, his behaviour is just recognizable to me.

Ah, I have so many thoughts and headcannons about this story, I can’t wait to read more! :heart:

Oh by the way when we are already talking about strays and headcanons since we now know that Troy is a cat lady I will just imagine my MC did buy a new headware for her costume to mess with him (Subtlety? What is Subtlety? What’s wrong with the huge neon sign saying: “Hey! Find out my secrets!”?) :smile:

What? Winter probably comes to Kalathol too, that’s the only reason Abyss wears that. So that her ears don’t get…eh cold…Nevermind the ice powers…(No that’s no complicated and somewhat weird plan for seduction, how did you get that idea? :sweat_smile:)

@Wraith “Couldn’t she have chosed a better time to find me?”
Shouldn’t that be chosen?

I’m sorry if that has already been mentioned ^u^;

“Well, I suppose you can cover me while when we start.”
I don’t think that is correct? but I can’t think of what it should be at the moment…

Wow. This game is dope. Love the powers, the plot, setting, characters, obvious inspiration from Detective Comics, everything. One gripe I have is that there are lots of cool choices for powers, with only 3 choices of weapons. That’s just a big turn off for me. Is more on the way? I cleared my cache. Sorry if this was asked before; I kept scrolling up to check only to find Billy, Mandy, Grim, and, some dude named Reaper. And alot of HeroGen3 images. So, yeah…

I think I fell in love with Specter, perhaps Vine too. Also, I really really like your idea about the blood things power !

Are you planning on adding more weapons, or?

As far as I remeber it’s on the list for things to eventually add, but I wouldn’t be suprised if @Wraith prefers to first write more for the actual story instead of adding some new weapons.

If the MC talk to Criw at the mansion is tht more in the hero route or would the MC have another change to vist the home of crow n Troy in the other 2 routes.?

If the MC runs into Stay on the streets in citizens clothing would the MC and him not recognize one another?

I hope I can get revenge on the corrupt officials that arrested and imprisoned the main characters father I feel like making them into habius corpuses. pretty certain I spelt that wrong I am not good at Latin

xD i’m sure an option like that would come up, but then I think it might depend on your role xD I’m not to sure if a villain would care to much one way or the other while the anti-hero might do it for fun, a hero would more then likely take the chance to try and show that there is justice that is not corrupted, but they couldn’t do for a selfish reason, then again, that chance might come up and you get a option to go who cares, everything worked out ok in the end.

Edit: Keep up the great work @Wraith :smiley: if you get stuck or anything, your fans are always here for you :slight_smile:

i absolutely love this game can someone explain to me what all the powers do its kind of troublesome going through the game 8 times just to see what they are and what they do

2 Likes

xD i totally understand haha xD although if im honest i’ve played through way more then 8 times xD haha

(i think it was mentioned above somewhere…) ok so most of the powers are some what self explanatory, electricity, fire, ice, shadow, translucent projectiles, metal, dust and blood, the first 3 are kinda just that, you have control over those elements and can create them i believe xD as for shadow, well i never really tried that one, but i think you can control the shadows like Wraith, the translucent projectiles, that one feels more like telekinesis to a point but i think your changing the light to suit your needs, turning it into a weapon or form of self defence, i never used thhe metal or dust powers, but the blood power was talked about not to long ago xD it allows you to use you own blood or the blood of an enemy to do as you wish, altho, if the blood is from an enemy it has to be open already, meaning, not in their body.Edit: ah almost forgot xD the lat three have a negative side effect as well xD

and im sure @Wraithor any of the others can give a better explanation xD

thanks a lot man yeh my main one is why the hell would you want a power to control dust i mean i just dont see how that could help unless you really want your opponent to sneeze

oh haha xD like i said i never tried that one so i don’t think it dust, i used that word because its part of the small description for the power in game xD it turned someone into dust.
