My standing idea:
You play as a Bomy
When you get old enough, you go to the Cave of Testing, to prove your self (hard not to say prove your manhood, because that's essentially what it's based on...the Natives of almost every nation had at some point a way of proving a boy's ascention to manhood, since girls become women as soon as they hit their period in most of those cultures...pygmy's kill an elephant by spearing it from below and running, one culture would hook a kid under the ribs with a metal claw and spin them around a tree like a tetherball or something, mostly it's just here's some water, see you in a week...but I digress)
The Bomy goes to the Cave of Testing. The door opens when they have X years on them. They have to race through the rapids, kick through a maze, and duck through a rotating-blade walkway...
There, they reach a tiny platform atop a tall pillar, where a single shaft of light hits it...they have to choose which race they wish to evolve to: Zulite, Sælei, Drakkara, Zorbi, Baddie, Enkidian, whatever's ready. They choose with the dir keys, and they fade from one to the other. Kinda like how you can't tell if a cocoon holds a buttefly or a moth, you can't tell if one of those Dragon baddies is gonna be a Sælei or an Ambient's gonna be a Zulithe.
Or maybe some they don't hatch into, maybe some they transform into, or their spirit animates a statue, or something. Maybe each race has its own quest. |
