Description Assassin's Creed: The Land of The Morning Calm

These are some ideas I had for the heroine for my take on Assassin's Creed.

Story: To give a little summary of the idea for my game, the setting takes place mainly in Korea during The Japanese occupation which occurs during the time period of 1910-1945. There's a lot of things happening during this time period and in this corner of the world, the biggest being World War II, which is why I thought it would be a great era to base a game off of.
My story starts by showing how the main character, Arang, and her sister are forced into becoming comfort women by the Japanese and are sent to the battle camps stationed in China with hundreds of other kidnapped women during the Second Sino-Japanese War. Arang and her sister try to escape and although she does her best to protect her, her sister is killed by the pursuing soldiers. Arang is then rescued by the brotherhood of Assassin's in Manchuria and through difficult training, she gains all the skills she needs to help liberate Korea from Japanese rule.


Also, for those who are wondering, the phrase "The Land of the Morning Calm" basically is a nickname for Korea, much like "the Land of the Rising Sun" is a way to sometimes refer to Japan. Both names are derived from the characters that make up the names of each country in their respective languages and how they both translate in English. Thought this would be an interesting way to name my game

Damn, I was looking at references for my concept art and stumbled upon here. I actually thought of the lore very very differently from yours. Mine is about how the Japanese Assassins realising the atrocities they were doing the entire time and realised that their own mentor was a Templar the entire time. Since nobody could tell if the letter sent by the Assassin in Singapore was credible or not, the Brotherhood broke apart and split into 2 factions- The ones that believed the letter to be true were called the Rebels, the ones that don't are called the Loyalists. Β The rebels sided the resistance to oppose the IJA and were mainly from Japan occupied areas, while the loyalists sided the IJA and were mainly from mainland Japan. Complicated lore that I have created myself with some help of my friends since 2015.

It is a very very complicated story that I have made myself. That explaining it in 3 minutes or the comment I made is not enough. What I said was just the minor plot.

Certainly sounds good for a minor plot. Maybe you could send me a note so we can discuss this further.

Make the game's theme song Arirang and you've got a perfect game.
Also, did you make 3d models based on these designs? If not, I would like to do so.

I can definitely imagine the 3rd one being the main costume since it would be the easiest to pull off instead of all of those robes like the first costume. The main thing that makes an assassin protagonist is the silhouette, the third out greatly resembles that silhouette that players recognize to be from the series, only complaint is that the bottom portion of the outfit loses that feeling due to the fact that it doesn't have the iconic "tails" of the typical assassin outfit that give the eagle motive. Which you can see in these concept arts.

Fix that and stick with the third design and you got yourself a perfect representation of an Korean assassin.Β 

SIDE NOTE:A little too many accessories too. Remember, minimalism is your best friend.Β

WOw, i'm so surprised of your idea...
Can i recommend u some resources? for design?

You may not know that Koreans usually don't wear hood...
I know... hood is the unique design of assassin creed...
People usually wear some kind of hat called Gat.
So here are some resources for

[link]
this is the the fictional legendary thief of the past korea, Jeon Woo Chi. (not actually him but this is design from these days' film.

[link]
this is also fictional character, Hong Gil-Dong. this guy is popular and most favorite thief character in korea.


But if you still think hood is iconic and necessary
[link]
here is some hood and clothes design for hon gil-dong(from korean drama)



PS. If u make ur basic story like.... Your character, Arang, is direct blood line of one of them I had shown to you.( On the assumption that they actually existed...) and some game play on the roof of Korean palace to send the message to the king.. would be epic.

I feel like if Ubisoft were to pick a time period in East Asia, it should be the Imjin War. It has naval battles, samurais, cannons, Koreans, Chinese, and Japanese characters, and historical characters. The only downside is that not many assassination targets.

Kopakapat In reply to KangJason [2013-01-12 14:51:14 +0000 UTC]

Hey, they can't give up the series yet, it's too popular, and they have to change location every time for it to be interesting. What's left? South america, africa, oceania, russia and, you guessed right, asia. I believe that the most interesting place is asia or russia, so I think we have our chances, lets stay optimist. Plus, if you know Assassin's Creed Embers, you see that they have already been working on a Chinese brotherhood. Imagine how a medieval Japan would be! Considering that Assassin's aren't exactly Ninja styled nor Samurai styled, I wonder where they would fit in there.

Haha that's true, it's just that I think i read an interview somewhere where the developers of the franchise said they won't be doing an asian assassin's creed because it was too cliche, but i may be wrong..

Wow really great concept ! I haven't played assassins creed but I love the way you took the principal idea of the game, too make your own background !
And everything is well thought, the dates and historic period, even the title is nice, really, this is awesome.

And the art is very similar too the original game, mixed with this korean style it looks great.
And when you say "my game" do you mean you are actually going to create one, or is it just an idea like that ?

Sorry for the long comment, I never actually take time too, but I thought that was worth it.
And yeah, again, great work ! I keep saying this is awesome !

Thank you very much!! it was a school assignment where we had to redesign an existing game so I chose AC because i wanted to do a setting that i can be passionate about! I'm korean but don't know much about korea's history and doing a lot of research to help create my concepts and story was very fun! Thanks for taking the time to comment means a lot!
