[b]Plot[/b]
Look at the stars. Do you see them? Each star burns bright and forever, an eternal watcher, vigilant in their guard. Certain moments come when these stars align and it is during these times that events of great and mysterious power occur. Barriers between world decay and things which are not from this dimension enter, leaving their mark permanently upon the Earth. Then there are some born to greatness. Extraordinary powers are bestowed upon them, granting them the ability to change the world in ways never imagined. You are such a person.

As the barriers broke this time you were in your prime, a respected leader in the local community. Struck by the powers of an ancient magic older than time itself as the stars came together. Awaking alone after the incident, a spirit appears before you, tasking you with closing the tears that have opened on your planet. Something compels you to obey her no matter your doubts. As the story progresses, however, the spirit's true motives shall be unveiled. Will you continue with the task assigned or will you carve your own path?

[b]Legendary System[/b]

Your powers alone make you more than human. But simply having such powers does not make you of note. As the story progresses you will be subjected to choices which will be morally dubious and emotionally stressing. Certain choices will lower your Legend rating while others raise it. As the rating rises, you will be afforded stronger and more varied powers as well as access to special areas and equipment. However, the higher your rating, the more difficult enemies are.
