Wombat's Quest

Wombat's Quest is an RPG made using RPGMaker 2000. In it, Wombat travels around the Internet along with his party and fights against the stupidity on the Internet. It's available for Rapidshare download at http://rapidshare.de/files/28456820/WQAlpha3.zip.html.

1. The History
The game has gone through many stages of development. The original had only two characters in it, and was actually quite a bit of a soap opera compared to the later versions, and could even be comparable to anime, which Wombat himself openly declares hatred of. However, the game matured in the second version featuring many more characters, and more length. This version was unable to be completed, however, due to many memory leaks. The third version is the current and up-to-date version, and is designed to have a more open feel to it than the previous installments, which had linear plots.

2. The Story
The game is not yet finished, and as such much of the story remains to be seen. So far, however, Wombat recieves an e-mail from the Smogon server on Pokémon Netbattle telling him that he has been accepted for a server moderator examination, despite having never applied. Upon his arrival, he discovers that Kaiba has been granted Moderation powers, and therefore he accepts the examination on the terms that Kaiba loses his power if Wombat succeeds. Chaos visibly has other plans, and Wombat follows along with him despite recognizing it quite clearly.

3. The Characters
One of the more unique tidbits about Wombat's Quest is that the characters don't truly have a defined motivation or drive, making it much less of a story than simply a game. The little characterization that the characters have doesn't follow any particular stereotypes that are associated with RPG characters, which further seperates the game's character design methods from the norm.

Wombat
The game's namesake and main character. He has an exceptionally high opinion of himself, and as such is highly smug all the time. It's almost impossible for him to be ruffled, as he has the luxury that many of his enemies don't in that he can "leave the Internet at any time and not have a social meltdown". He uses logic in the face of the imaginative nature of the Internet, and as such he's not overly well liked. He often complains that people steal his scripts and use them without giving him credit, and as such has stopped releasing his scripts after using them to create the interactive server bot named Aura. Wombat utterly abhors anime, claiming it's not American, and constantly telling people to remember Pearl Harbor.

Aura
Aura is the last program Wombat designed before stopped. Aura is oddly enough, the exact opposite of Wombat, putting her compassion before her logic. Because of her intricate designing, she is capable to think for herself as opposed to requiring special data to control her actions. She does, however, side with Wombat on most of his judgments, but more because she considers herself to be more of a logical creature, as a server bot. She is able to calculate math problems perfectly because of this. She appears to have somewhat of a schoolgirl crush on Wombat, but realizes that he'd only resent it, so tries her best to hide it.

Kioku
His original screenname is the same as his real name (Zac), but he uses the alias "Kioku" around Netbattle. He's the owner of Ph00kedUp, a web page where he designs Web Comics and keeps various logs of online conversations. Kioku has a very strong distaste for furries, whom he considers to be perverts. He has an exceptionally sharp wit, and has the same advantages as Wombat in having a real social life, but still using the Internet. He has his own small Netbattle Server, Kioku's Hideout, which he themes around the Soviet Union, perhaps because he knows RPGMaker 2000 translator Don Miguel so well. Also, many of his enemies seem to think he's a girl for some unknown reason.
