Reborn - Brainstormed

Hello Everyone,

My newest game Idea, and also my first official project with the torque engine is calles "Reborn".
The Game plays not on Earth, not with humans but on another planet (no name yet) with Elves, not
really Elves but like in The Lord of the Rings the high Elves called "Elbs" I think, so thats what it would be.
They are a very proud culture and their history reaches back many many years (quite some zeros).
The game plays some what in the future but the Elb's idea of future is not the ones we humans have, ok
metal will be used for the floating vehicles and all of that, but Elb's work with magical powers and nothing will
look like plastic (Doom 3), I'm not even sure yet if I will even use shaders, but I do want some decent visual
effects appearing in the game!

I haven't really put together my whole storyboard together to form the actual story but here is what the game
will be about and where the player kicks in:

One day a microscopic asteroid crashes in to the planet, in a lake to be more precise, and over hundreds of
years a virus builds its way up to the surface, now the infection has spread in to the Elb's organisms and they
mutate to a form of zombie, not the traditional form of zombie - a little more intelligent and not as slow.
The player is a young boy by the time this happens and the boy flees from the city, terrified. He finds a camp
of soldiers that take care of him, raise him to be a proud warrior and upstanding man.
The warrior master (no name yet) has always noticed that the player figure had super natural powers that made him stronger and faster than the other soliders but also sometimes lead him to loose his control in the practice fights and tournaments. At the end of the prologue video (everything up to now was the prologue) the player was made a warrior and is now 21 years of age.

You will probably have noticed that I always refered to the male sex for the player character but in the game all the classes will be male or female!

The fact that the warrior master has noticed his super natural powers are a result of minor infection, through the small dosis of this infection his organism developed a tolerance to it and that makes him survive the
bites, scratches and all other attacks from the infected enemys.

All of my other information will release to much about the game and ruin the game for people that have read this article so I will release it later on in development, lets say with the first demo?

Here is the concept art for the mage clothing, male and female:

I am still not sure if it will be a First Person Role Playing Game (FPRPG) or just a gegular 3rd person RPG, but there is still enough time to decide that.

If anyone would like to contribute art, models, music, sound fx, or take over the voice of a character, contact me and i will get back to you when the need arrives! Credit will be given of course, and optionally a website address.

At this point I don't need any more members to work on the game but if you are interested in joining then contact me and again I will get back when the need arrives.
