World of Araki

World of Araki is a massively multiplayer online sandbox game developed by Underleaf Entertainment and released on Steam somewhere in Spring of 2023.
== Synopsis ==
Taken place on the open yet mysterious Araki Isles, the player resides on one of its islands to gather resources for crafting recipes, interacting with NPCs and other players, and overall making themselves at home. 
== Gameplay ==
With an openly generated landscape to explore, players are tasked with fending themselves on the island with their island's nearby resources, even if they are spawned in an already established area. Those resources can be crafted into items, though some can only be crafted with a certain crafting bench.
Resources can be found in Wildscapes, widely unexplored lands which is decreased with the more structures built over them. However, there would also be pre-established settlements scattered randomly throughout the land where NPCs would often be located at.
=== NPC Interaction ===
Besides other players, the player can also interact with NPCs occupying the islands. Their actions and speeches towards a certain NPC will raise their friendship, which alters the avatar's morality overall. NPCs also have certain personality traits and interests tied to them.
== Characters ==
=== Main ===
* Custom Character - A fully customizable avatar that the player controls and can be edited through name, species, physical appearance, clothing, and abilities. However, their reputation is determined by the player's actions themselves through NPC interaction.
** Custom Assist - A partially customizable pet that follows and aids the player in their time on the isles. Despite their customization, they are often sarcastic yet loyal and easygoing.
=== Supporting ===
* Harlow - A friendly traveler who is also an apprentice at Bushill Academy. He tries to help guide the players as much as possible, though he has some social issues of his own.
* Guildmaster Pablo - Owner of the Everly Dojo and mentor of Harlow. He gives tips on improving the player's skills as well as finding players to battle with, similar to Club Penguin. 
* Senlin Ju - A wise and knowledgeable fairy witch who sells potions and spells to the player, sometimes helping in their adventures. She also has two familiars: an owl and cat.
** Twiglet - A serious and sometimes skeptical owl that helps hand out materials for Senlin and reminding her of certain things. He has a somewhat love hate relation with Manu. 
** Manu - A mischievous grey tabby that is nearly the opposite of Twiglet and is often in the brink of trouble around the house, as he is easily bored. 
* Captain Ringbeard - A mighty sailor and captain of a guild called Crimson Silvers who occasionally visits the islands to bring souvenirs and encourages sea travel.
* Myla - An inventive and hardworking elf who sells crafting recipes and has a starting work bench on her house for new players with resources.
** Tulip - A curious yet resourceful rabbit that occasionally aids Myla by collecting resources for her when she is busy. In addition, she also reveals herself as the Easter Rabbit when caught.
* Lloyd Hart - A somewhat crazy but clever jester that hosts the April Fools event and resides in the strange castle of Crazewood. While he is often neutral in a sense, he gives out trap abilities to those who complete his trials.
* Saint Nicolas - A chubby yet talented man that gives out gifts to lucky and good islanders at midnight of Christmas Eve, and also loves cookies. He lives on an icy arctic island where his gifts are made.
=== Antagonists ===
* Shatterus - A dark grey dragon with purple and is often covered in a darker purple aura that he can control at all times. It is unknown what his origin is to most, but for some reason, he has an urge against Araki's emperor and wants power over him.
** Faetal - An organized beetle-like dwarf that often serves Shatterus in their schemes. Unlike other members of his guild, Faetal is one of his most favorites and is rumored to even have some "feelings" for him.
* Witching Hailey - A flirty witch who is Senlin's rival ever since their second year in the Bushill Academy. She is also the main antagonist of the Heartstruck expansion pack due to her strange ability to attract others and control them.
* Basil Imp - An ugly goat-like demon that is based off of the fictional character Krampus and is Saint Nicolas' main enemy. He would do the opposite of him and steal the gifts of innocent islanders, occasionally their special belongings.
