Huh. Heres to hoping that character select screen only appears after some decent questing. The story is going to revolve around Dark Lord [son of the previous Dark Lord] and his sister. I was thinking it would've been alright to go through rouge 10-30, then get some quests where you learn of his sister. After some more, you get the chance to renounce your pupil status under the Dark Lord to join her as her student. Gang warfare all over Kerning, anyone?
Also, I had been thinking Pirates might be pupils of the dark magician. Maybe some sort of weird hybrid chimera creature made in the Black Magicians lab. You start off in the lab and a Black Wing sets up a nice little training area for you in the corner. Afterwards to go out to antagonize the general public in magatia and other areas, returning constantly to get upgrades to your body when you can handle the strain. Boss. We've seen non-humanoid NPCs that seem to speak, fight and somewhat resemble normal maple characters/npcs [namely some in the Aran fights]. Might be something similar. FAPFAPFAPFAP
