Here are some ideas I have.
Make of them what you will.
The End War Chronicles: Star Saga
A three part story.
The basis of the story is that world as we know it was created by two gods, one who was based in light energy in one who was based in dark energy. The gods were benevolent, and created the universe together, but they were unable to foresee that their light and dark creations would clash with eachother.
This led to the creations of the light based Guardian Angels and the dark based Guard Daemons. These are more or less human with the souls of angels, so they get some cool powers.
The End War legend states that both Guardian Spirits will one day see the creation five of their kind at once, each with a birthmark of Star (for the angels) or Pentagram (for the Deamons) on the back of their right hands. These two groups are destined to lead their respective sides in the Universe-spanning war known as the End War.
The game follows the Star as they attempt to complete that task.
This story is much more fleshed out then what I have posted here, so if you want more information, please ask.
next idea:
The Dark Ones (possible title)
This story isn't nearly as fleshed out but:
Our universe is one of several organized into a giant universal ring that is moving steadily through time. Each universe is temporally ahead or behind the universe adjacent to it by about one millenium, to prevent the formation of a universal feedback loop.
The universes are held inplace by dark matter, and dark energy keeps them in their correct timeframe. Furthermore inbetween the universes is the Mainframe, a network made of dark matter, which in this state is the physical form of knowledge.
Creatures called the Dark Ones are able to use dark energy and matter to control space and time, as well as hop between universes. They can also access the Mainframe and gain access to interuniversal knowledge for short periods of time (connecting to the Mainframe indefinitely would cause one's brain to basically explode.) The dark ones function as a sort of interuniversal police force.
Now here's the story: a scientist has found a way to manipulate dark matter and energy in such a way that he can access the Mainframe, however the process causes the universes to align temporally which, unbeknownst to him, would form a Universal feedback loop and basically destroy everything.
You play as a dark one who tries to stop him.
I may include a sub-plot which fleshes out Dark One culture, but that isn't important to know for this introduction.
So. What do you guys think?
