| + | ======Mahou Daisakusen====== | ||
| + | Name translates as "Great Magical War." | ||
| + | |||
| + | Series of fantasy-themed shooters developed by [[company:Raizing]]. Heavily influenced by [[company:Compile]]'s last entries in the //[[aleste_series|Aleste]]// series, which Raizing's founding employees were said to have had a hand in designing. | ||
| + | |||
| + | This would become Raizing's first shooter series. The four core characters from //Mahou Daisakusen// would also make "guest appearances" in at least two other Raizing shooters outside of the series; this makes quite a bit of sense, as they're rather compelling, even as shooter characters. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ======Core Series Characters====== | ||
| + | |||
| + | * **Gain**, the Fighter | ||
| + | * Insane wandering soldier "of unrivaled expertise", usually accompanied by his pet monkey. In constant search of the "ultimate weapon." His ship is Valhallyzer. | ||
| + | * **Chitta**, the Sorceress | ||
| + | * Hopelessly naive, disproportionately powerful sorceress. Her ship is Gun-Dalf (heh). | ||
| + | * **Miyamoto**, the Samurai Dragon | ||
| + | * Grim, honorable Samurai from the North Forest who's also (literally) a dragon. The only "serious" character, and the only one to remain through all three games in the series as a main character. Flies on his own, and appears onscreen to be about as large as the other characters' ships. | ||
| + | * **Bornnam**, the Necromancer | ||
| + | * Charmingly ugly old man scheming obscure madcap schemes, usually involving his experiments in necromancy. (A defiler of the dead has never been this //wacky!//) His "ship" is Golgodian, which seems to take the form of some sort of undead-ish creature. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ======Other Characters====== | ||
| + | ===Shippu Mahou Daisakusen=== | ||
| + | * **Nirvana**, the Huge Fairy | ||
| + | *Gigantic fairy in the race to look for a new home for her people (I think). About Miyamoto's size, and flies without need of a ship. | ||
| + | * **Kickle and Laycle** | ||
| + | *Two children from the future in the race to get a "hex" that will allow them to get back to their own time. Their ship is a modern-ish fighter named "Sorcer Striker" (HAH!) | ||
| + | * **Honest John**, the Automatic Armor | ||
| + | *Steam-powered flying robot built to represent his maker, a greedy blacksmith who wants to "live an easy life" with the race winnings. Also about Miyamoto's size, and likewise flies on his own. | ||
| + | * **Bul-Gin**, Captain Goblin | ||
| + | *Lone Goblin soldier on a quest to resurrect the Gobligan Empire after it was destroyed by the core characters in //Mahou Daisakusen//. His ship is Great Gobligan-S. | ||
| + | ===Daimahou Daisakusen=== | ||
| + | (Fill data in at some point) | ||
