Once upon a time their was a rich and powerful family known as the Ashfords. After 2 years of trying to have a son, they found a doctor who could give them what they wanted. After the doctor had given the mother a special drug of his, she got pregnant and had a son, they named him Nikolai Ashford, but many people called him Nicky. The doctor had a condition; however for his services. That he would be the child's only doctor/physician and to be able to see the "effects" of his drug on the baby, but what they weren't told was that drug gave the baby special abilities, along with an ingenious mind, but the doctor didn't tell them, because he wished to keep this child for himself. 10 years passed and on Nicky's 10 birthday, the doctor, his parents, and hundreds of family friends attended the child's birthday. As the guest were getting comfortable, a fire started in the house, luckily most people escaped , but both the doctor and Nicky's parents were killed. He soon broke down and became deranged and was sent to Faux Asylum, but soon escaped. 7 years later the mad,serial killer Nicky, now known as "two faced Ashford" was captured and sent back to Faux Asylum, the dead doc's former research lab. Now Ashford is trying to find out what happened to his parents, while discovering the research, that gave him life.

This game is still in development So it maybe a while before I can post a demo on here, but if anyone is wiling to help with this here is a link to my recruitment forum or PM me. http://save-point.org/showthread.php?tid=3831
I have decided that the character I have made already is probably to small. So, this game will now be using the Mack style sprites for all adult characters. Here is the new sprite for Nikolai:
Ooooh very interesting story. You might want to grab an editor for your writing because some of the sentence structure is hard to follow. The sprite seems to have some minour glitches (He seems to kinda of shift to the side a little too much on one frame, and theres a thickening of his outlines or something on some of the frames that make it look odd) in it but other than that it looks fine.
