MEET
FAMILY
As with any introduction, you begin by
meeting everyone and learning their names~
except that you're providing the material.
You get to name the family, as well as your favorite
food and favorite.“thing.” Pick anything you want,
or use the “Don't Care" options for an easy out.
Our story takes place in Tazmily Village, a tiny town nestled among the Nowhere Islands,
North of town, beyond the Sunshine Forest, a cozy log cabin sits high atop rocky Mt. Oriander.
Tired Attire
Your brother, Claus, wakes you up from a
peaceful slumber. Amble downstairs to see
what's up, greeting your mother along the way.
She stops you before you even go outside and
scoots you upstairs to change out of your PJs.

A Dashing Tutorial
Claus has been up all morning playing with
a familyofDragos, gentle beasts who roam
the mountainsides. Claus and Alec are happy
to provide a quick lesson in dashing, so
shed your fears and try it out for yourself!
CA Sateececste ee
Unlike his brother, Claus is an ambitious go-getter, always
ready for action. Even though he sometimes pokes fun at his
brother's innocence, he'll always stand up for his family.

ANEW BEGINNING
Lucas wakes from a recurring dream, padding solemnly
through an empty house while memories of his mother
fill his head. Flint only ever returns for a few hours
of fitful sleep each night before the sun rises, leaving
for the cliffs before dawn.
-_CHANGING Along with the town, Lucas has grown and changed.
Memories of the past, however, still haunt him.
It might be a good idea to visit Hinawa's grave, but
be sure to change in front of the mirror first.
ALIVE-STOCK
Flint’s small ranch has certainly seen better
days—charred livestock wander aimlessly around the
femains of their stable. None of the animals seem
fazed by this, for some reason. As you head toward
town, Boney decides he’s willing to take you for a walk.
Boney has been by Lucas’s side these past
few years and is not about to leave him now.
This friendly pup will help you fight anything

Dr. Andonuts is a brilliant scientist currently working in the field of
