[Ratty524]

For the most part, this is complete. I may only go back to work on this to correct any bugs/glitches once reported. Those will be the only changes.

INTRODUCTION
Here's a project that I've been keeping a secret for a long time.

I was messing around with an RM2k chara maker, creating "unique" characters for my first, and probably only rm2k3 project. It was originally a stupid, comedy-type RPG with all sorts of inappropriate humor, yet that pretty much didn't happen. However, I felt like I had to use on of my generator creations, a blue variation of that red warrior guy from the RTP, in a crazy game that's meant to mock some elements of old-school, cliche super hero comics, thus Blue Man Dan was born.

I was originally was working on this alongside the Secret of Ludia (before I canceled it), yet I stopped for no apparent reason at all. Recently, I found too much love and fun with this project, so I felt the need to get it done. I consider this project a combination of decent-level work and a result of my corrupted mind.

That's all I have to say at this point. Enjoy.

THE KAH-YE-YAH STORY

[Show/Hide] Story

On the distant planet of Whatdafuk (WUT-DA-FOOK), nature, people, animals, mutants, and machines live together in harmony. Shikoku Island, one of the smaller islands of the continent of Wapan, is the main focus of our epic story.

Just like the rest of the world, Shikoku Island is a peaceful place, where people would laugh, sing, and dance like White people. All seems to be going well as usual, but peace can be like a bubble on a needle. The wrong people will rise to power and easily destroy it.

One morning, people woke up to the sounds of destruction. Swarms of abnormally large Bumble Bees swarmed the island like locusts, destroying everything in their path. It seems that the witch of a nearby island, named Elle Beetaku, has called for an attack over Shikoku island. She laughs maniacally as her bee's break, detonate, and sting. The people cower and cry in fear, with all hopes of living life lost, but there was one who still had hope, as she ran through the woods and looked to the moon. She prayed to the higher beings of the galaxy, the Chicken Gods, for a hero who will set them free, and become her savior.

A few moments after the prayer, a meteor heading for the planet appeared. It crash landed near the house of a mysterious old man. Curious as he was, the old man brought the meteorite into his house, which was glowing brightly towards his narrow eyes. Suddenly, the meteorite began to crack, then a whack, and then... BANG! The meteor revealed an armored, monkey-faced young man, who jumped into the air in excitement. "Kah-ye-yah!" The man shouted. "I am Blue Man Dan, the Blue Man of Justice!" He was, as he stated, the hero the Chicken Gods has sent, and he promised the old man that he would set the island free from the clutches of Beetaku. He seems like a nut, but boy, does he have some determination! Thus the legacy of Blue Man Dan has begun.

THE CAST

[Show/Hide] Characters

BLUE MAN DAN
Believe it or not, he's the protagonist of this story. Blue Man Dan was an "extra" hero created by the Chicken Gods, and was sent down merely because better heroes, like Superman or Batman, where not in stock. He is a clumsy, hot-blooded man who often acts out of impulse and mere insanity. Despite this fact, he has keen heroic qualities, and is always willing to take a stance against injustice when duty calls. He has a habit of screaming "Kah-ye-yah!" and doesn't know why he does it.


ZEALEA WHITE
Zealea is an 18-year old village girl who has a respected name amongst the citizens of Shikoku Island. She is very kind, forgiving, and helpful towards other people, yet she can easily be the opposite when push comes to shove. When Beetaku's bees invaded Shikoku Island, she prayed to the Chicken Gods for a hero to save the land. Once she met her hero, Blue Man Dan, however, she was completely crushed. Zealea considers Blue Man Dan as an obnoxious joke, and is in disbelief that he is the hero she asked for. In her heart, however, she doesn't dislike Blue Man Dan that much.


ELLE BEETAKU
Beetaku is the main antagonist of the story. She's characterized as having a very teasing, sarcastic personality to both her subjects and her victims. Because she feels that she is unstoppable, she staged an attack on Shikoku Island and marking it as the starting point for her goal of world domination. She does not take Blue Man Dan seriously, and doubts his ability to put an end to her actions.


STEVE "THE WISE MAN" MONOSHIRI
Steve, better known as "The Wise Man", is a lone, elderly man living on a small isle near Shikoku Island. He discovers Blue Man Dan when he "hatches" out of a metorite that landed near Steve's house. He's a bit proud of himself, being that he's "The Wise Man", and has a knack for engineering and building all sorts of strange contraptions like "Bug Spray". Steve is one of the few people that has some bit of faith in Blue Man Dan, despite the fact that he keeps getting called "Grandpa", which he considers greatly offensive.


SAVE FAIRY
Many strange and mystical beings live in the world of Whatdafuk, one of them being the Save Fairies. They use a special kind of Judu (magic) which records people's memories, called "Saving your Progress". They are also gifted with healing powers, which comes from a light, sweet kiss on the lips. The Save Fairies trust in Blue Man Dan, and offer their full, unconditional support for him.

NOTES ON PLAYING
Here are some tips to help you out in playing this game:
> Grinding helps. Not only does it boost your levels and make battles easier for you, it can also earn you money, which you can use to enhance your character's abilities/statistics.

> "Judu" is the term for magic in this game. You learn "Judu Magic" by purchasing "Judu Scrolls" in the armor/judu shops in the towns you visit. It's best to have as many judu skills as possible, as it can make your battle experiences a little more easier.

> The battles are intended to be slightly challenging, where preparation is key. While at the beginning of the game, the enemies won't do that much damage to you, going into fights without full HP/JP can be sometimes detrimental.

> The game's chipset graphics consist of the default RTP and some graphics rips from other games. Sue me.

> As your progress through the game, you may notice some "interesting events" that occur. At that point, you should think about back-tracking to certain areas. You may never know what will happen! [/hint]
