This will be the story of my new project, once I get a computer up and running that can be used for programming... I'm using a friend's laptop at the moment. Check my profile and my threads where you can find the one in geek culture about my harddrive incident.
I decided to plan it out by then.
This is Hassassin - Story of the Assassin.
Hassassin is pronounced "Hah-sah-seen".
The word "Assassin" originates from the arabic word "Hassassin". These Hassassin were a secret group who worked in spite of Allah, the islamic god. (My religion and my god
)
Anyways, I'm switching their story around. Here it goes.
In the middle eastern world of chaos, the beginning of the 8th century introduced a new dimension. This new dimension was mixed with our very own, which caused many problems.
This other dimension contained life just like ours. It contained life, but no humans.
In this dimension that was mysteriously combined with ours, lived monsters that were aggressive, protective, and in no mood to share co-existence or the vast middle-eastern land with us humans.
Our only hope was the Hassassin, who would be assigned missions to eliminate the vulgar creatures that unexpectedly inhabited our land.
And so, you start out in the country of your choice; Pakistan, Afganistan, India, and Iran. You start out a young adult, the age of 21, who has to leave the fields and fight off the monsters in the areas that they exist.
You interact with all of the other Hassassin in this game, and soon, it becomes a fierce competition. Battle for the first rank in the Hassassin organization.
You also have the option of dueling another Hassassin.
Character Statistics-
Health: I'm aiming for a realistic health system that doesn't let you die easily, but allows wounds in any limb on the body. With a wound, movement of that body part is limited depending on the seriousness of the wound.
Stealth: The amount of noise/disruption you make to assassinate a group of monsters depends on the experience points gained.
Speed: With every other level up, your speed in running and combat increases. But if you choose the skill of ghost, you can be very fast, and even invisible and completely silent.
Strength: You get this primary statistic which increases every other level, but if you choose the skill of combat, you learn new moves and your strength increases even more.
Magic: If you decide to take the skill of a magician, you have the additional statistic of magic. Your spells can range from curses, to lightning strikes, to ice blasts.
Sword: If you choose the skill of a swordsman, you can use daggers and swords, and with every other level up, your skill increases.
Demon: If you choose the skill of a Demon, you can use curses and summon monsters that you can control. With every other level up, this skill increases.
Axemen: If you choose the skill of an Axemen, you learn combat with Axes, war hammers, and maces. This skill increases with every other level up.
Bowman: Upon choosing the skill of a Bowman, you can use bows and arrows. this far distance combat skill increases with every other level up.
Fact - You can only choose two skills when you create a character. You can choose another skill with every 30 levels. You can also buy another skill with every 10 levels (in U.S. Currency).
Fact - Magicians can learn spells that enhance their other skill. Say, and magician/bowman can use a spell that makes the arrows explode upon contact. A magician/swordsmen can make his sword contain fire, or lightning, which would strengthen every attack. There are many more spells, with other skills too.
Notes on the actual Hassassin:
"They were meticulous in killing the targeted individual, seeking to do so without any additional casualties and innocent loss of life, although they were careful to cultivate their terrifying reputation by slaying their victims in public, often in mosques."
"Typically they approached using a disguise; their weapon of choice was a dagger, rejecting poison, bows and other weapons that allowed the attacker to escape."
"For unarmed combat, the Hassassin practiced a fighting style called Janna which incorporates striking techniques, grappling and low kicks."
"Under no circumstances did they commit suicide, preferring to be killed by their captors."
"A victim, usually high-placed, might one morning find a Hassassin dagger lying on their pillow upon awakening. This was a plain hint to the targeted individual that he was safe nowhere, that maybe even his inner group of servants had been infiltrated by the cult, and that whatever course of action had brought him into conflict with them would have to be stopped if he wanted to live."
The Hassassin existed between the 8th and 13th century.
Sheikh-ul-Jibaal is the leader of the Hassassin, AKA "The Old Man".
"The Hashshashin were often motivated by outsiders."
"The power of the Hassassin was destroyed by the Mongol warlord Hulagu Khan."
The word 'Assassin' in arabic is : قاتل
Thats it so far, I'll update with more and more information that I plan later on. This is just a starting idea.
Any ideas comments are welcome. This MMORPG will go far, I promise
