Very few beings have the power to exist outside of time
But those that do also have the power to destroy it...

When another being breaks the solitary confines of time, the first to know is the master of all time, Father Time. When one being, a human named Solitaire, escaped time, Father Time as usual went to investigate. Soon he found that after Solitaire had escaped time into the White Parlour (his domain) she had created her own reality, where she could escape from Time, and even Death itself. There she created Cartes, her very own minions with which she used to infiltrate and destroy the Time Line of a planet called Earth.

Since Father Time cannot set foot in the time line for fear it would permanently alter Earth’s future, he gifts certain humans the ability to travel through to the different times and stop Solitaire's mysterious undoing. His particular interest lies with one of the girls he has chosen for this task, a girl from the current present, Rose Reveries.

At first, the task at hand seems simple to the humans, eradicate the Cartes, and stop Solitaire from destroying the time stream. But they soon find that this situation isn't as black-and-white as it seems...

Spoiler

Father Time

Spoiler

Gender: Male
Time: N/A
Bio: Father Time has always been, and will always be. His job is to observe the happenings in the timeline, but cannot himself interfere directly. It is also his job to make sure the beings that exist outside of time adhere to the rules, and do not interfere with the timeline in any way that they are not supposed to.

Rose Reveries

Spoiler

Time: 2012
Bio: Rose is the main character of the story. She is one of the 4 humans Father Time pulled out of time before their deaths, and took on the role to help prevent Solitaire from destroying time. She didn't really want to do the task at hand, but feeling nervous around the others, she dutifully accepted. She's lived a completely normal, boring life, with which she was never happy. She has an obsession with cats. In general, Rose is a shy person and it takes time for her to warm up to most people.

Lucy Hargreaves

Spoiler

Time: 1809
Bio: Lucy is the daughter of a nobleman from the 1800's. Her whole life, she's pretended to be a little eccentric to avoid becoming the head of the Hargreaves family. It sort of grew on her, and now even though she's not really crazy, she still acts the same way. She didn't hesitate to go with Father Time when he asked her and the three others to go with him, she "wanted to see these so called fantastical wonders" that Father Time was talking about. She can be a very serious person when the occasion calls for it, but for the most part she is the self-proclaimed "comic relief".

Eric Black

Spoiler

Time: 1902
Bio: Eric has been a homeless orphan his whole life, but he never begged or complained about it. Everybody loved him in 20th century London, until he was killed in an alleyway by a mugger. He went with Father Time because he wanted to help people, even after his death. He's a very kind person, but sometimes on the ignorant side. He doesn't really want to hurt anything, so he often has trouble finding the drive to fight in battles.

Lancelot du Lac

Spoiler

(WIP)
Time: 923
Bio: Lancelot is a very quiet person, and because of this very little is known about him. Before he was pulled out of time, he was a soldier fighting some sort of war in the medieval ages.

Solitaire

Spoiler

Time: 2010
Bio: Solitaire was once human, but became corrupted when she forced herself outside the Time Barrier. She now plots to alter the flow of history on her home planet Earth for unknown reasons. She is also the leader of the Cartes, a race of her creation that can travel through time and do her bidding, for she herself can no longer step in the time stream. The Cartes also inflict what is later known as the “Curse of the Cards”, which forces creatures from visited times to do their bidding and attack their enemies.

The Fates

Spoiler

Time: N/A
Bio: The three sisters, Wyrd (that which was), Verdandi (that which is), and Skuld (that which will come to pass) are the beings who control what happens in the time stream. Not much is known about them otherwise, except that they always seem unworried by what is happening in the timestream after the 4 humans have been sent to fix it.

Life & Death

Spoiler

Time: N/A
Bio: Life and Death are the two beings that have dominion over, well, life and death. They work together, and are happily married. They are very close coworkers with Father Time and The Fates, though they don’t seem to particularly like Father Time, especially in Death’s opinion. Despite their jobs, they are actually quite nice people.

This story takes place on an Earth much like our own, but still quite different. This world is a little bit more advanced than our own at certain points in time, giving birth to the Steampunk era, and as you play through the game you'll find that there may be some things that exist there but not here, and vice versa. There are ten different times/places you can travel to, but I don't have a description for them all yet.
Prehistoric Times (???)
Egypt (500 BC)
France (989 AD)
Japan (1563 AD)
England (1893 AD)
Canada (2003 AD)
Germany (2256 AD)
United States (approx 2956 AD)
There's a reason for each date/place, but it's sort of a game spoiler so I won’t say what it is


Prehistoria

Spoiler

Jungle

some caves

underwater mini-game thing

*brushes cobwebs off of thread* Wow, it's been a while O_o
KoT is now off of its secret haitus!

I've been working on a lot of maps, here's one that's semi presentable~


I've also finally got all of the facesets for Rose and Lucy sorted out! I've still got a lot of these left to go for the other characters though D:

Spoiler

[Strawberrycat24]

that screenshot is sexy Rose.
It reminds me of Alice in Wonderland somehow. hmm...I'll try to figure that one out later.
n_n did you do the faces yourself?
if so you are a genius.

[RoseReveries]

yes I did do the faces myself, thank you I'm glad you like the screenshot as well, it was really annoying to make haha

[RoseReveries]

I decided to change Eric's design, here's his new portrait!

the full version can be seen here

[Strawberrycat24]

He certainly looks dapper without the scarf.

Has a bit of a Dr. Who look to him...though...I think it goes well with your game.
