Overview/Synopsis: 
For my video game, I will be using Character Sketch #1, who I henceforth will refer to as Kya, to design a 
role-playing game (RPG) entitled K
​ ya’s Quest​. The game will be set in a mythical world with inspiration from several 
different societies. Kya’s past life achieved The Apotheosis, meaning that in this life, she is The Chosen One, meant to 
achieve greatness as a warrior, teacher, politician, or spiritual leader. There’s only one problem - she doesn’t want to. Kya is 
a headstrong, confident, and brazen young woman. Though she resents her title as The Chosen One, she channels her love 
for her family, who is struggling through poverty, to help defend their kingdom from the Dugals, a Shadow clan looking to 
take down the new Chosen One and pursue world domination by stealing The Chosen One’s source of power- moonlight.
