Hi everyone, and Happy Holidays! (if you're reading this around the time I'm posting). I want to tell you all about something I'm doing that you may probably be interested in. I've had many in the past immediately downvote the other posts I've made of this, so I'm going to try and be more direct. Hopefully this doesn't get downvoted a lot and doesn't get buried in the boards, but that's just me being selfish!

There is a project that I have been working on for two years that I'll need help with. The only way to put it is that it's a fan made MOBA game like League of Legends. Ridiculous, right? Well, it's not a real game, it's moreso the concept of a game, so that's a relief on our part. It is a game fairly similar to League of Legends (all MOBAs have a parallel formula, really) and the good news is, I already have the base made up. There's something much more important, though, which is where you, the champion designers, come in: the characters of the game

The characters of a MOBA are probably the most important elements of a MOBA, and that's what I want to base this "game" off of. I already have some of the characters made, in which one of you champion designers whom I've contacted through this very place to help with, but of course, writer's block is a thing. And that's why I want one of you (some of you?) to help me. So,** why should you help me if it's only the concept of a game? That's selfish of you and completely pointless.**

Well, it's not like we're gonna create the concept and leave it at that. What I want to do is put it all on a website (kind of like this one) to showcase all of our ideas/concepts so that the world can see it. Hopefully, it will gain some support. If gains that much support (which I highly doubt), than maybe it could be made into a real game? :) I don't know, but I do know that it's worth it, even though it doesn't seem like it.

This isn't a truly serious thing! I want to do it for fun mainly, since that's why we all create champion concepts. Creating an entire game is a fresh start on a clean slate where you don't have to make a concept for the purely defined standards of League of Legends. This game does have standards, but they're not as set-in-stone as League of Legends. There will some seriousness to this, since I don't want there to be two week gaps between communication with each other, and I've done this with other people before and many debates have happened (which is actually a good thing), but still, I just want to have fun creating it and being proud of a final result!

The setting of this game is fairly simple. It revolves around the benevolent goddess Aria, whom the game is named after. A scientist somewhere in the world accidentally opened a portal to the world of the dead, and now the dead are coming into Aria's world, wishing to take it over. So, Aria wants to form an army to fight back against the dead. Aria makes it so that it is these warriors' destiny to fight in her army, hence they are called the "destined". The classic game mode (like Summoner's Rift here), is basically where the destined train to fight the dead. I was thinking there would be PvE game-modes where you actually fight the dead, but that would be more like an MMO than a MOBA.

The crappiest website ever made of this game is linked to the thread. You can look at the current characters there. If you want to help out and are interested, then just send me an e-mail at [email protected] and you want to use Skype, my Skype name is IcyJK913, just like my e-mail.

Hopefully some of us can get together and make something truly great!!! :D

Seems like a nice idea :P I will definetly check it out later.

This game does have standards, but they're not as set-in-stone as League of Legends.

Could you maybe give a quick summarization ?

So far only a few chracters seem to have a lore and the setting seems nonexistent. Will that be fleshed out or will it stay this way for the time being ?

I'll help out, but when I go on break. So that I don't have school to worry about.

I could also link a few old concepts that I had that were received well, if you want.

Seems interesting, but I'm curious as to what kinds of limitations there would be on character types. Are the 'destined' restricted to certain roles, or could a character from pretty much any walk of life be a part of this world?

This is a great idea, and i really respect it. I would love to be a champion designer for this, but I've got my eyes set on Rito. I'm guessing a lot of other people would certainly be open to the idea, and so am I.

Even if I want to become a Rioter, there is no reason why i can't get involved in this. So I would love to help. :)

I've got many ideas that I am saving for Riot, but if you give me some concept art, I could put a kit to it.

Even if this game never comes to fruition, it is a marvelous idea and I wish to be a part of it
