In BC there are agroup of Turks that never recieved a proper name...SE only refers them by weapons..(shotgun) (rod) ect. These turks also are in LO. So do you think they will get a name or they will always be refer to thier weapons?

Well, to be accurate, the ones you're talking about go like this:

Rod (Male):

- One of the playable male Turks.
- An ex-gang leader from Midgar, he enjoyed fighting other gangs and stealing motorbikes.
- He is highly skilled in hand-to-hand combat, as well as in riding and fixing motorbikes.
- He was rather unfamiliar with failure, and — with his ever growing confidence — decided to sneak into Shinra's parking garage to steal a bike from the company, but was arrested by Reno.
- Verdot realized his skills could be used to aid the Turks, and he was offered a place in the organization.
- Aside from his role in Before Crisis, he also appears in Last Order -Final Fantasy VII-. He has been playable since the original beta version of the game, and uses a rod as his weapon.

Gun (Female):

- One of the playable females.
- Her father was a teacher at the Shinra military academy, where she attended.
- She graduated with outstanding performances, and her forte is marksmanship.
- Her excellent handling of firearms impressed the leader of the Turks, Tseng, and he recruited her to the force with great confidence in her abilities.
- She is a very serious person who rarely jokes around, and is often very strict. Like Rod (Male), she also appears in Last Order.
- Elena, a Turks member featured in Final Fantasy VII and Final Fantasy VII Advent Children, is Gun (Female)'s younger sister. The two are not on very good terms in Before Crisis, as — despite their mutual dedication to their work and their exceptional skills — their personalities often clash and Elena resents her sister for outdoing her.
- Gun (Female) has been playable since the original beta version of the game, and uses handguns as her weapons.

Two Guns (Male):

- A former bodyguard of Don Corneo, his specialty is his ability to rapidly fire two guns at once with outstanding accuracy, much like Gun (Female).
- Spending most of his time in the slums, he became fed up with the politics that had overrun the underworld society and was offered a place in the Turks.
- He took up the role, knowing that it would put his skills to the test. His unorthodox "underground" style of conducting missions often results in him failing.
- He also appears in Last Order, and has been playable since the official release of Before Crisis. His weaponry is strictly dual firearms.

Shotgun (Female):

- A female hunter from a wealthy family who likes to do things with flair.
- She has familiarized herself with the art of hunting since she was a child, and is, thus, an expert with her chosen weapon.
- She likes showing off and constantly tries to outdo herself, and, thus, immediately accepted the offer to become a Turks when it was presented.
- She also appears in Last Order, and has been playable since the official release of Before Crisis.
- She uses a range of shotguns as her only form of weaponry.

Martial Arts (Male):

- An ex-detective from Costa del Sol, where he solved some rather complicated cases.
- A passionate, hot blooded and courageous man, he puts his all into everything he does, a trait that manifests in his personal and professional lives.
- His tendency to rely on his emotions eventually got him in trouble with his previous occupation, and — seeing no alternative — took the job offered to him by the Turks, who had been trying to recruit him for some time.
- Like several of the other Turks, he also appears in Last Order.
- He has been playable since Episode 7 of Before Crisis when Verdot decided that the Turks were still lacking the required manpower to deal with AVALANCHE. He uses his powerful fists as his only weapons.

Martial Arts (Female):

- A new recruit to the Turks in Episode 7, along with Martial Arts (Male).
- As a mercenary, she has seen a lot of battle and is accustomed to taking orders.
- As such, she adjusted to her new-found role in the Turks easier than some.
- A thoroughly businesslike woman during missions, she gets her work done with a minimum of fuss. She is level-headed, alert and perceptive, frequently able to assess a situation and take the most prudent course of action.
- She is a skilled martial artist who uses a style that involves a great deal of agility and kicking.
- Like many of the other Turks, she also appears in Last Order, but has no speaking role.

Katana (Male):

- A swordsman who was born in Gongaga and has a soft spot for beauty.
- He tends not to stay in one place for very long.
- Those in his hometown fear his skill and strength for it is said that he killed a large number of people to rescue a friend and was imprisoned as a result.
- Under the condition that he would join the Turks, he was given amnesty.
- He first appears in Episode 18 of Before Crisis, but has been a Turk for several years at that point.
- He uses a katana as his sole weapon.

Shuriken (Female):

- A young woman whose place of birth is unknown, she uses a large shuriken (similar to those used by Yuffie Kisaragi in Final Fantasy VII) as her weapon of choice.
- She is warm-hearted and has a mothering side which can border on bossy, which often manifests in how she looks after her colleagues.
- While still in an orphanage at a young age, the Turks expressed an interest in recruiting her, and she was brought up under harsh training techniques.
- In the history of the Turks, she is the youngest member to join.
- Like Katana (Male), she first appears in Episode 18, though at that time had been a Turk for several years.

Nunchaku (Male):

- A young man who was born into a wealthy household, and despite being raised in an environment where anything he wanted could be purchased, he was unsatisfied with money and demanded to join the Turks in order to seek out a new life of his own.
- The brand of the Turks is very dear to him, and he follows their ideals every day.
- He is a short-range fighter, using nunchaku in battle. He appears in Episode 1, only in the Softbank version.

Knife (Female):

- A new Turk appearing alongside Katana (Male) in the new logos for the AU version of Before Crisis for EZweb.
- What role this new character plays in the story is unknown, however, it is expected that she will only be playable in the EZweb version of the game.

Legend (Male):

- Originally from Junon, he is a super-first class agent who was once feared on the battlefield as the God of Death, and is nicknamed the "Legendary Turk".
- His fame attracts a great deal of attention, those he is intensely private in both his official and personal life.
- He uses both chain bombs and remote controlled bombs in battle.
- He becomes a playable character after completing Episode 24, and can be used for Episode 10 and on.

I'm guessing that since they're playable characters and all, you get to name 'em whatever you want... though, Elena's sister should have a proper name.

Are all the characters playable? they should be...

March 13, 2007, 3:05 AM

I'm not sure if all of 'em are playable, Basch, but Legend, the Legendary Turk is definitely playable.

It's just sad that the game's all Japanese and only avalable to certain Japanese cell phones. Plus, you need to pay a monthly subscription fees to play it.
