Characters
Outsider:
The Player plays an astronaut that was traveling but crashed on an Planet in Aquatica. After they were saved by the rulers of Aquatica, they tasked them to save the planet and its fish.
The main task of the Player is to explore the planets and save fish from the hostile aliens, collecting them and keeping them safe till the end of the level to transport them back to Aquatica.
Hostile Aliens:
These were the first Outsiders. They were given permission to discover the Planets of Aquatica. But greed and curiosity got the better of them and they started to kill and catch the fish of the planets. Angered by their broken trust, Yin, the black dragon, cursed the Outsiders into half-fish aliens and Yang, the white dragon banished them from the planet.
Years passed and the fish aliens had created their own organization named “Gill Hunters”. They planned an attack on Aquatica, capturing and hunting all the fish with the hope to bribe the dragons to change them back.
These creatures are very hostile and will attack anything on sight.
These creatures can come in different variations.
Deities:
The deities of the planet Aquatica are two Asian Dragons: Yin, the black dragon and the spirit of the past and Yang, the white dragon and spirit of the future. Yin is the dragon that cursed the first Outsiders into the hostile Aliens and Yang banished them from the planet.
After the Gill Hunters attacked, they found a crashed Outsider and begged them for help since they lost their physical body ages ago and cannot get back the captured fish.
Fish in need:
These are the Inhabitants of Aquatica. They lived in peace until the Outsiders and later the Gill hunters returned. They were hunted for not only their special skills, but also their delicious meat and unique abilities.
Deceased fish take the form of a spirit, swimming around in the sky and sometimes helping out the player to find the fish still in hiding
