And I Almost Forgot...
I know I forgot "The Elder Brother" in that last post but I didn't feel the need to change him for the 1st edit but just in case here is his original backstory with no edits as of yet, I am in the process of doing his first edit now.
The Older Brother
Name: Sebastian Aeuhert (Pronounced Au-Hare)
Height: 6ft 9in
Age: 39
Bloodtype: AB+
Weapon Name: “Saberhagen” (One Handed Broadsword)
Story:
Born into a noble bloodline Sebastian is the first and eldest son thus he is the rightful heir to the Auhert family name. As a young boy Sebastian grew up with the finest of what life had to offer him, the family servants would tend to his every whim and call at his mother’s behest, much to the chagrin of Sebastian’s father the great warrior Raphael Auhert.
Raphael was adamant that spoiling the young Sebastian was reversing his teachings of discipline and work which Sebastian was learning through combat and that this in turn would lead to the boy being blinded and unable to accept the world as it truly is, instead forever living in a fantasy world where only wealth and splendor exists.
Over time Sebastian’s feelings for his father changed to feelings of anger and eventually resentment over what his father was doing to his mother who was pregnant with their daughter Adelia, to him and to the family. But silently he found comfort in the fact that one day he would surpass his father and would make his mother proud.
Years passed and Sebastian learned from his mother that he was a brother again to a baby boy named Alexander.
Growing up Alexander was notably closer to his father, which made Sebastian’s relationship with his brother troubled, however Sebastian dismissed it as the boy did not know any better and eventually he will be forced to grow up and learn the truth. However as a result of this he often found himself spoiling Adelia who was growing up and becoming quite demanding of her big brother.
As time continued conflict in the family became worse and eventually led to Raphael leaving the Auhert family estate with Alexander .
After his parent’s split Sebastian watched his mother fall into a downward spiral of depression.
Along with Adelia he frequently spoke with his mother about the split and she confided in the two regarding the truth of their father, themselves and the Auhert family, She also made Sebastian promise that no matter what happens he would take care of his sister Adelia.
Now at the age of 39 Sebastian is the head of the Auhert family and is the epitome of law, order and justice, he has a deep set loathing of people who fail to uphold these basic principles and also resents anything or anyone that would dare tell him otherwise. As the eldest sibling his mother wrote in her will that the great sword “Agnedynestra” is to be passed onto him upon her passing.
Time passed and inevitably the time came for the sword to be bestowed upon Sebastian, however when Sebastian went with Adelia to the family vault to retrieve what was rightfully his, he was shocked to discover that Agnedynestra had been stolen.
Enraged that the sword was gone Sebastian pondered alone in his quarters as to how this could have happened; he worked tirelessly to form a conclusion as to how it happened, but it wasn’t until Adelia checked on her older brother and asked him “Who knew where the vault was?” and “Who knew about the sword?” that the answer was clear as crystal.
Realising this and with chuckle Sebastian said, “My dear baby brother…”
With this knowledge Sebastian along with Adelia began to plan how to retrieve the sword and their brother at any cost.

Character Backstories 1st Edit
Yo, Dudes
To comply with the project lead's request I'm uploading today's 1st edit of the character backstories, As I type I am in the process of writing the 2nd edits so some of the information will be out of date but this is mainly for reference and to bring the people who were absent up to date somewhat.
The Younger Sister
Name: Adelia Aeuhert
Height: 5ft 3in
Age: 27
Bloodtype: AB+
Weapon Names: “Aurelio” & “Voletta” (Daggers)
Story:
The second born into the Auhert family, Adelia is very smart to for her age and has an IQ around 200 points.
From birth she has spoilt by her older brother Sebastian who would do anything to keep her appeased and as a result of this she has become very demanding of her brother.
In one of her demands Adelia stated she wanted to also be trained in a weapon style like her brother but unlike him she wanted a style that makes her look enchanting and elegant as well as being lethal, to which Sebastian agrees to train her in an art of her choosing.
Deep down beneath the spoilt girl exterior she respects Sebastian because of his loyalty to her and their mother unlike Alexander who in her eyes is nothing more than a “Betrayer” for going along with their father’s way of thinking and denouncing them entirely
After the two left she noticed her brother was talking more in private with their mother, catching on that something wasn’t right she again demanded that her brother take her with him to one of these chats, though reluctant Sebastian accepted that she should know the truth and that nothing should be hidden away from her.
After learning the truth from her mother Adelia spent her days continuing her training and ordering her brother about, however she did have a new found respect and appreciation for her mother and swore to herself she would be like her.
It wasn’t until her mother passed that she really began to change, Adelia struggled to come to terms with the loss and in fact blamed Alexander for their mothers death.
But through her sadness she realized her brother was now the head of the family and would soon become the new wielder of “Agnedynestra”.
Suddenly life wasn’t so bad she began to contemplate how she could now use her brother’s influence as a means to get others to do things for her while also still having leverage on her brother. The concept was something that appealed to Adelia very much just as much as some other things she had been thinking about…
If the will stated that both parents needed to be dead before the sword is passed on then…
He had to die.
Without her brother knowing she organized and orchestrated a remorseless but successful attack that left her father dead, so now with both parents out the picture the sword could pass on to its rightful owner.
When the day came for her brother to acquire the sword she accompanied him to the family vault to watch him claim it as his own but like her brother she was also disgruntled when she found it wasn’t there.
No sword meant no control and no control meant no sword, growing more agitated by the second she ordered her brother to find the one responsible and retrieve the sword.
In the days after the theft she began to formulate how this theft was possible until one night while she was trying to sleep she worked it out, it had to be there was no one else…
Her thoughts proved to be correct after confirmation came from one of the guards who reported they saw a suspicious figure (More detail on attire needed) trying to escape the grounds into the night.
She rushed to her brother’s quarters to find him still trying to work out the problem at his desk.
She walked up behind her brother in a rare moment of affection hugged him.
She whispered something to him and suddenly everything fell back into place.
The control, her brothers, the sword they could all be hers…
With that she began to plan with Sebastian how they could get revenge and reclaim the sword and avenge the death of their mother.
The Main Character and Youngest Son
Name: Alexander “Alex” Aeuhert
Height: 6ft 2in
Age: 20
Bloodtype: O-
Weapon Name: Agnedynestra (2 Handed Greatsword)
Story
The youngest son of the great warrior Raphael Aeuhert, unlike his siblings Alexander grew up with his father and denounced the noble life of wealth and splendor in favor of training with his father since he didn’t want to ride the coat-tails of his father’s success instead opting to carve his own legacy and path.
This was noted by the other siblings who in turn had nothing really to do with him as a result since they were both closer to their mother.
It wasn’t until a fight between his parents occurred and his father ended up leaving that Alexander was forced to make a life changing decision, either stay with his siblings and mother or leave with his father. The decision was an easy one, Alexander knew that if he stayed he possibly would be pried upon and so he left with his father.
Over the next few years Alexander trained using his father’s style eventually becoming a formidable warrior like his father was.
However Raphael was unwell and with every passing the day life ebbed and flowed out of the once mighty warrior.
Sensing that the end was near Raphael called Alexander to tell him the truth about the sword and about the great task he had to undertake.
“My son, you will be the true wielder of Agnedynestra, the sword resonates with your soul unlike the others therefore you must steal it from them before it’s too late and it falls into the wrong hands”
Those words stuck with Alexander like a bad itch but he knew what needed to be done the question was when?
Then one night under the veil of darkness he returned home for the first time in years and while avoiding detection he successfully managed to steal the blade from the family vault.
Energy pulsed through Alexander as he grasped and held the hilt of the sword, now with the power that his father spoke of Alexander escaped into the night and became the new custodian of the blade Agnedynestra. Now all he needed to do was hold onto it even if it meant fighting his own family…

Brief story
Stroy Development.
As a noble warrior he swore he would protect his family with the cost of his life, however his wife took advantage of this which has drove him to near death and now he only just realised that he was wrong since it is leading to negativities in the two siblings.
The father then as a younger son but with another woman who happens to die giving birth to him, he did this because he knew that the two siblings where going to turn evil as they were idolising their mother. The youngest son doesn’t know about this and he think the two siblings are his real brother and sister.
When the mother died the two siblings blame their younger brother who was at the scene when she died, they think that he could have saved her but decided not to because of things he’s been through, this makes the two siblings hate him more, also making the youngest brother more isolated from them.
Before the father died he wanted to pass his sword down to one of his children, however he found his wife's will which she hid from him for many years so that one of the siblings could find it and keep it a secret from their father, the will stated that the sword had to go to the oldest child, So he tells his youngest son to steal the sword before his brother and sister get it.
The father then passes away and the will is read out to the children, but while the will is read out the youngest child manages to steal the sword however, he is caught on the act so security is called to capture him. He flees to the city where he thinks he has lost them, but his brother and sister are still searching for him and a reward his offered if anyone finds him. When they capture him the let their men fight him aswell as themselves.
This is just a brief version which Billy and I will be working off I think to get the completed version done.

Overview
I decide to produce a brief overview of the game for the deign doc heres what I managed to get.
Our game is a 2D side scroller set in a fictional city slightly set in the future where the character has to keep the sword safe from his evil brother and sister.
The game play will be fast paced this includes both the running and fighting aspects of the game. The running aspects will be similar to the Mirror’s edge 2D game, while the fighting aspects will be what similar to Murasama the Demon Blade.
This is a screenshot taken from Mirror’s Edge 2D which shows the player being able to jump across from building to building which are far apart. The other screenshot shows the player running up the wall; this is an element in which we would like to include in our game, so that if the player is stuck because loads of enemies are around him he would use this to escape.
This screenshot is from Oboro Murasama: The Demon Blade which shows the fast paced fighting style, with the number of hits shown on the screen, something that we could implement into our game.
I'll gladly take feedback and make any changes that need to take place.

Just a reminder
This development blog is part of our FMP so why are some individuals waiting to talk about their progress in person at Confetti? Just post it on here, that way another part of the work is underway and it's keeping everybody informed, not just a few people.

Urban attacks?
I was just thinking about our game and thought that if all the combat was with the sword it may get a bit repetitive so what about some interesting melee combat?
I thought about some break dancing styled attacks that the guy could do with his sword- such as sticking the sword in the ground, taking a quick run back then towards the weapon, grabbing the handle and running up a nearby wall or just lifting himself with the handle and kicking nearby opponent.
I got the inspiration from the free running world champion who combined break dancing with parkour to win the world title earlier this year. Take a look and give some feedback.
