I've barely gotten time to work on it yet, but your guys' ideas sound great.

I thought of using tattoo as my skin element as well, but not in the way you are vulpinoid. I love how minds can conceive of things differently.

I can't wait to get more work done!

My brief concept is:

A quest for identity at the brink of apocalypse.

Here is some of the intro parts of the game:


The City at the Edge

Tuko has heard that an old building has tumbled into the wastes, a few miles from the abyss…. I must get there quickly if I am to have any hope of finding something that will help me becomes whole. There is a stillness in the air… I know the day is coming soon, the day the abyss spreads, pulling us into its maw. My time is short and meaningful pages are more scarce. If I leave the city too quickly, others like me will becomes suspicious, other lost souls seeking unity and a way to be spared from the end.

The travel into the sands is harsh… why did the place have to appear in the middle of the day? But, I have reached it… sweaty and thirsty as I am… it is so strange to my eyes, not the delicate round domes of the city, but hard angles and panels of glass. Who knows from where these places come, perhaps it is other places swallowed by the abyss.

Immediately inside, the ceiling threatens to crush me, but I jump to the side… I am rewarded for my quickness, for beneath some refuse lay a few torn pages from a book. The pages are large and shiny, the faces are so alien to me, they all look like young girls, wearing much eye make up and flamboyant hair styles…though these images are not my concern. I scan the lines of text, my heart beginning to sink as I see nothing… then, something seems to leap out at me: Justin remains strong amidst various tawdry rumors. I live my life by strength, especially when others oppose me. Justin must be a strong hero, like I hope to be… I have an open space on my left arm where this will fit perfectly…


Game

This is a game about finding personal identity amidst chaos. In this game, the players will play people who have lost their identity in a catastrophe, but struggle to create a new one in order to survive annihilation. These characters are strong personalities who strive to uphold personal ideals. They brave the dangers of the Edge to seek out the remnants of ancient texts, searching for words that affirm their existence and ideals. If the player can find enough texts to become whole before the Edge swallows the city, they will ascend to the supernal world and be spared utter destruction at the hands of chaos.

I've decided to call my game:

Paths of the Resolute

I can see some really surreal game play coming out of this one.

Sounds like it could be fun.
