You play as a boy, around 18 or so. You know very little about him, and the first cut scene you see is of the boy with firelight on his face, sitting calmly. You soon find out that this boy is a terrorist from decades back, and that not only is he a pyromaniac, he is a schitzofrenic with 7 personalities. Whenever he needs to make an important decision in his life, he sets up a meeting table in his mind, and in real life, he sets up the same table, moving around every time to talk as one of the different people. However, there is always a shadowy presence in his mind that never sits down, or comes into the light, it is just there, and occasionally whispers things. One day the boy is met by a Shinigami(Grim Reaper, whatever you want to call it), the reaper brands the boy with a mark on his chest, and the boy is knocked out. When he wakes up, he finds that he is no longer in old-time germany(country not important, germany just sounds good). He is now in a strange forest, and as he walks around he stumbles upon a battle field where countless bodies lay battered and bloody until the horizon's edge. In this place there is another person, branded such as he is. Our main character has found himself trained in staff form by his multiple personalities, and the mysterious shadow that exists during the "meetings." The two fight, and soon we find that our intruder has the ability to control blood, a forbidden ability gained by the people where he comes from. During our match, our character finds that his pyromanic abilities have morphed into pyrokinetics, and he fights near to on par with the man a bit longer. Soon, however, our character is wounded, and next to death. Another cut scene comes and we see the shadow come to the light, it is a phoenix, charred as the night sky, yet on fire at the same time. The phoenix says to him "I can make you live through this." And the man calls a meeting quickly in his mind. The decision of the "council": do whatever the phoenix requires. The boy suddenly morphs, his body being pushed up by the shadows. His arms elongate, his fingers sharpen and become of claws, his eyes lose emotion. The shadow envelop him. Suddenly a large explosion, and there he is, a man with claws to rip men apart, but the wings made of shadows caught aflame. We now make quick work of our foe, and fly off, the land burning behind us. The grim reaper appears, and the mark on our chest burns, and we transform back. Throughout the game we learn more and more about the man's past, who he is, and why he wears an old silver-cross necklace around his wrist, with an inscription on the plate. Eventually we fight the reaper, and learn of his intentions, and why he brought the schitzofrenic pyromaniac with the powers of a fallen phoenix inside of him. Thats my idea. tell me what ya think.
