Through The Mist And Fog (I based the title of the game around the name of the character you play as, because the name represents 'Mist/fog and the pupil of the eye'
Character design:
My character in the game will be based upon the samurais within the 19th century. He'll wear the same type of clothing but it won't be the traditional samurai colours, it'll be a grungy/chromy colour; a lightish grey. The character will have a Dali moustache which is a two part, long and thin moustache. He will also have purple flares on his hands. He'll also be a average sized young man with a toned build.

Storyline In Depth:
In the game you'll play as a young samurai named Kasumi Hitomi who would one day serve in the Minamoto tribe.
The game starts of where Kasumi finds out his father is killed by the Tiara tribe in the battle of Uji at the start of the Gempei war. Kasumi is then forced to go fight in the Gempei even when he knows he's too young to go out a fight for the loss of his father. Kasumi shortly realises that he isn't experienced enough in battle to go out and fight, so he takes on battle practice with his fathers companions, who teach him the way of the samurai.
Kasumi wasn't quite ready for battle yet, but was getting close; but then the Tiara tribe invade the Minamoto's village destroying homes, killing people and leaving nothing but devastation behind. Kasumi thought the battle but the battle was not won although Kasumi remained alive. Kasumi knew he had to avenge this defeat, so he gathered up a few of the remaining tribe members and seeked revenge upon the Tiara tribe. One late night Kasumi and the other tribe members had stayed up to attack the Tiara tribe as they sleep, they knew Tiara tribe would have night time watch out so they had to plan a stealth attack.
Kasumi took charge as they all fled over to the enemies camp, the Minamotos successfully took out the guards on watch and started to set fire to the tents around, Tiara members came rushing flooding out of the tents in flames! Kasumi noticed one innocent Tiara woman and baby fighting for their lives as they tried to flee, Kasumi shouted for woman but she was long gone.
Kasumi went to bed that night knowing what he and his people were doing to innocent people. A war was organised to bring peace to the opposing tribes. 2 weeks later the war had been said to start this day, Kasumi was getting nervous along with his warriors as they prepared for battle. BOOM BOOM BOOM the Tiara was coming over the hills, all the Minamoto warriors took position and prepared to fight as the Tiara tribe was running towards them... The battle started and it was fierce, arrows were flying past heads and fireballs were being chucked into cover spots, Kasumi had no where to hide, he tried to find cover in the trees but was easily spotted and came into contact with several Tiara members, he fought them off one by one with great courage and dexterity. After the battle finished Kasumi noticed the woman and baby he had nearly killed a couple weeks back, she was crying over a Tiara members body, Kasumi presumed this must of been the woman's husband and child's father and it brought back memories of his father and what war had done to him, he knew this wasn't the life he wanted so he walked over to the woman and baby and slowly took the babies hand and said "I'm sure your father was a great man and warrior, but don't worry because this isn't going to be happening anymore, peoples live are to precious to loose, I'll be here to protect you" the babies mum looked at Kasumi and from that look she gave it was quite clear there was an instant bond between them both.
