Skyborn is a 2012 western-made Eastern RPG created for PC with the RPG Maker engine by Dancing Dragon Games. It can be bought through Steam or Big Fish Games.Claret Spencer lives a simple and happy life working as the main mechanic in her family's repair shop, Spencer's Drydock and Repairs. But one day, her brother announces that he is selling up so he can travel the world, and has promised Claret's hand in marriage to the shop's new owner, professional rich fop Sullivan Chesterford.This throws Claret out of her comfort zone and into the wider world: a place ruled by a race of Winged Humanoids known as the Skyborn, who use their magical powers to oppress humans and persecute the half-Skyborn "half-breeds". Yet a resistance movement led by the Zorro-esque "Red Spectre" is gathering strength in the shadows, and Claret soon ends up deep in the inevitable showdown.

God Save Us from the Queen!: The Skyborn Empress. She's having half-breeds kidnapped to be sent to the Celestial Nexus so their magic can be drained by Qua'lon and is probably ensuring the Skyborn's origins are kept under wraps, though as far as she knew, Qua'lon was the only Fey left in the world.

Bittersweet Ending
 Skyborn (Video Game) / int_40cc0c7e
comment
Bittersweet Ending: The Skyborn's magical abilities are greatly reduced following Qua'lon's death, surely dulling their teeth for more conquest especially with Alda telling them about what fueled them for so long, and most of the characters look forward to what will hopefully settle down into a much more peaceful time... aside from Chaska, who must be remain alone in the Celestial Nexus. She's happy that she's finally in the "place" she belongs, though, and hopes that one day other Fey may be born out of the Earth, to learn how to open the dimensional portals to get visit her friends every now and then, and to change the Celestial Nexus to something less torturous.

Gameplay and Story Segregation
 Skyborn (Video Game) / int_6320eced
comment
Gameplay and Story Segregation: The equipment system in general. Your party will later be armed and armored to the teeth, which would probably attract interest in of itself given most of your characters aren't professional guards, and lots of that stuff certainly doesn't sound very concealable. Obsidian is mentioned to be closely regulated by the Skyborn, with various people saying having the stuff is a quick way to get the Skyborn to put you down. However, players are quite capable of eventually obtaining armor and weapons made from it (buying it from a Skyborn shop, even) which won't cause them any trouble with other Skyborn.

Proud Warrior Race Guy: The Skyborn race in general. Alda found almost nothing about their past save for the war against the humans which is only part of their history they'll talk about, and military rank is Skyborn hierarchy. It's expected they'll drift away from this with Alda telling them of their horrible history and what's being done with the kidnapped half-breeds, not to mention Qua'lon's death has significantly reduces their magical powers.
