Hundreds of years ago, Tatheria overflowed with magic, its power woven into every facet of nature. Among humanity, those born able to bend this force to their will were known as the Magivene and though they made up only a small fraction of the population, they ruled as the world’s elite. But infighting amongst the Magivene, as well as the volatile nature of magic, would spark a war that would go on to destroy civilisation, plunging all of mankind into the dark ages. As humanity clawed its way back from the brink of extinction, they turned their fury on the Magivene, blaming them and their magic for the war and the billions of lives lost. They toppled their rulers, erased every trace of magic from their society, and left the world in its current state: bereft of the power magic once held.
Welcome to a fantasy stripped of it’s magic.
Magicide is an in-development role-playing game (RPG) set in a fantasy world that has been stripped of it’s magic, now resembling a more bleak and colourless modern reality, parallel to our world.
You play as Maya Masaki. A young adult who has accepted the futility of her mundane life, resigning herself to enjoy the simple comforts she can find, such as sleeping until noon or reading a good book.
However, Maya will have to leave her comfort zone as she’s thrown into an unfamiliar situation and surrounded by many unfamiliar faces, her one goal? Escape her containment and maybe do some soul-searching while she’s at it.
These guys give me the creeps!
A game where even getting dressed is a quest!
Explore mysterious and intriguing environments.
Interact and learn all of Maya’s unpopular opinions!
Uncover the mystery of your containment!
Meet the Cast:
The Protagonist
Maya Masaki
An introverted 23-year-old who is completely content with living a mundane, simple life. Maya doesn’t need much to be happy, just a quiet place to read and daydream.
She lives in a rundown apartment by herself, she doesn’t get guests often, her dad is the only person she talks with on the regular.
She feels as if her life is “missing something”. While she’s content with her living conditions, she often envies the protagonists and heroes of the books she reads, often aspiring for a more interesting life.
Be careful what you wish for.
“Can't a girl sleep in on a Saturday without being rudely awoken by some phone call?”
Maya’s Father
Mark Masaki
Mark is father of the year material. He’s protective, caring, active in his daughters life and he’s got a great sense of humour. Mark raised Maya all by himself, as his wife (Maya’s mother) disappeared almost 20 years ago, but all things considered he did a pretty good job.
While Mark is a very soft hearted person, he operates on a “no bullshit” policy, he is very protective of the people he loves and if he sees someone who may try to trick, cheat or endanger his loved ones, his anger can often cloud his judgement.
He’s not as good as a fighter as he was in his youth, but he most certainly still packs a punch.
"You may be an adult, but you're still my little girl! You barely ever call! Can you really blame your old man for caring?"
Fellow captive
Rosilyn Crescent
Loud & Proud, Despite her feminine wiles, Rosilyn is ultimately a tomboy at heart embracing the more, chaotic and rambunctious side of life, Like her fiancé, Cynthia, she doesn’t think about hypotheticals. She’s the type to deal with things by ramming head-first into whatever issue they face.
That being said, While Cynthia is methodical and quite organised, Rosilyn is the complete opposite to that. She thrives in the chaos, gives in to her impulses and tries to see the bright side in any given situation, although sometimes at the cost of seeming a little dim-witted.
Rosilyn is not above a little mischief either, known for her pranks, she’s one of the few people in this era who practice magic, despite how incredibly illegal that is.
“Well, I say we sit and wait! Just like miss sleepy over there!”
Fellow captive
Cynthia Solara
“Pragmatic”. This is a word that sums up Cynthia pretty nicely. To an outsider, she can often appear cold, distant and even unconcerned with others, the only person she seems to have warmed up to, is her fiancé, Rosilyn Crecent.
While she’s not aggressive per se, she often can come across as passive aggressive, especially when others are faced with tough situations, while others may find it helpful to go over hypotheticals, Cynthia is a more logical, results driven person, very methodical in how she deals with things.
But when push comes to shove, she’s a determined and fierce individual focused on protecting her friends and her fiancé to the best of her ability and she enjoys those who see the world in he same lens as her own.
“Well that doesn't mean you get to assault my eardrums for the time being, why don't we just calm down and FIGURE OUT why we're here?”
Mysterious person who doesn’t quite show up at the beginning but you’ll love her anyways!
Evelina amare
Fun fact, she totally made up her last name!
18-years-old, Evelina is not only the youngest, but by far the most wholesome and strange individual Maya will come across. A runaway princess, Evelina is enamoured with the idea of magic, and ran away from her family in order to pursue it!
Unlike the rest of her family, Evelina is a good natured and kind soul. Raised to be the voice of her nation’s people, she lives to serve, always placing others needs before her own.
And despite a few complications with the whole running away from her family, she’s landed herself a pretty interesting gig, a little dangerous, but one that will hopefully allow her to achieve her goal of learning magic.
“Just hold on. All is going to be okay.”
