Ripple is a quest that takes place on the continent of Midus. It follows the adventures of three playable characters and how their lives will develop, intersect and ultimately change the world of Gatinya forever.

== Abilities ==
Abilities may range from -3 to +3 for a normal mortal, and represent a character's biological and psychological makeup as well as the maintenance that goes into keeping that make up effect. Each level a character may shift one point of their ability scores from one ability to another to represent changes in their lifestyle and routine. Abilities may be represented as a score by adding 10 to the ability. This is typically used when the ability has to serve as a defense against a hazard.

== Classes ==
