Saber Marionette J-RPG “My Alicia”


Saber Marionette J-RPG “My Alicia” (セイバーマリオネットJ-RPG ぼくだけのアリシア) Is an obscure Tabletop RPG (Role Playing Game) created by Satoru Akahori with Studio PACCHI. The game is based on Saber Marionette J where you play as the character ‘Nagare Hokuto’, a junker who is a marionette doctor in solo game play mode. The story takes place at the same time as SMJ TV series as it coincides with events that took place in the tv animation such as the infiltration of the main computer in Gartland and the hotsprings event. But Hokuto and his marionettes saves Japoness from further destruction behind the scenes while Otaru and his marionettes deal with the threat from Faust in the main stage. The game also allows you to create your own marionette with unique set of abilities to help Hokuto with his mission in multi player mode.

Introduction

A marionette enthusiast named, Hokuto who operates “Yorozu remodeling shop” (a junk shop) in Japoness is trying to boot up a general purpose marionette that he customized named, Alicia. After receiving the sexadoll part that he ordered abroad and installed it to his marionette, Hokuto found that she is acting strange after being activated, it is as if she has emotions, but he brushed it off as some sort of bug in her system. Hokuto then orders another set of sexadoll parts that took far longer to arrive, he got irritated to find that he only received 1 piece of the items he ordered. Furious thinking he got swindled, Hokuto and Alicia went to the shop where the parts originated only to find it ransacked. While in the shop, they were attacked by the marionette group “Blue Danube” resulting in him being thrown into the “behind the scenes conflict” between Gartland and Peterburg that was taking place in Japoness. After Hokuto managed to get his parts, he then activated his second marionette named, Bercé. He later acquired the marionette named, Sylvia as a souvenir after the Peterburg army base had been wiped out.
