Been a while since I've been able to get online ( been quite busy raising funds )
Here's my idea ( barrowing from most of everyone in the community ):
Attila
"The S K Y Stealer"
There are 6 "Zones" each with a different magical S K Y power ( and different color/texturing ) and your hud will have a hexagon with 6 points to hold each of the "S K Y Power Artifacts" ( each artifact is of what seems as ancient and almost wooden or metal-like ancient alien origin that partially surrounds a glowing crystal with many facets and 2D particles emanation and some of them hovering about the crystal while some parts of the wooden or metal-like structure seem to scale or orbit about the crystal )
You play as "Attila" a male semi-punk/semi-goth/semi-ranger kind of guy ( early 20's )
You have a car that when you have enough "S K Y Energy", it will enable a hovercraft mode and you can even fly upwards several dozen feet in the air ( but not much more than a few dozen feet )
Your goal is to "collect" these ancient "S K Y Power Artifacts" and once you do then they work on the hexagon in your hud and create a extremely powerful combined 7th "S K Y Power" which enables your car to actually fly. This enables you to fly up to the top of a floating "S K Y Castle" in the 7th zone.
Attila has a pet which like pokemon/digimon has a special powers which get power-up'd in a different way with each of the "S K Y Powers" as you collect the "S K Y Artifacts" from each zone.
Each time you collect a "S K Y Artifact" then your pet ( which the player names at the beginning of the game ) will morph and change form his original state into 6 other states until finially his final form is revealed when you enter the "Ancient S K Y Castle"
Each morph unlocks a new attack and defense power.
( this is an optional idea but go for it if you like ) -- You can enter battles with various enemies throughout the game which like an RPG game go into a "Battle Mode" and you gain XP from the battle.
You can drive around and use weapons on your vehicle to battle with other enemies in vehicles.
Your vehicle is a semi-dune-buggie and semi-hover car but remember that your car's wheels rotate underwards only when you have enough "S K Y Power" which "when" you have collected a particular "S K Y Artifact" then you can collect from enemies as well as rupees ( or some kind of gold or money ) as well as ammunition for your car and your British Revolver that has been in Attila's possession for a long time ( possibly from family or a friend )
At the end of the game; when Attila defeats the main boss enemy, the "S K Y Castle" crumbles and falls to the ground forming a ruin and you win the game.
p.s. don't have Attila wear all black, that's extremely lame although if you want to add comedy of a "cool" nature then you have Attila's pet wear all black and give him a personality as though he thinks he is a really cool bad-ass kind of dude and then as he "evolves" he becomes "actually cool and bad ass"
Also you should make Attila's pet speak English and they can both talk to each other and to everyone else.
