[Sign-ups & Discussion] Final Fantasy X: Felonies of the Past

[Amizon]

Final Fantasy X:
Felonies of the Past​

It began with the Machina War.

Spira’s biggest nations, Bevelle and Zanarkand, fought over to see who had the best machina. Jealous of each other’s overwhelming power, war ensued between them and threatened to destroy the world. The rest of Spira were left to ponder their fate.

As a result of the abuse of the machina, Sin appeared. It came from the sky and descended upon Zanarkand, obliterating an entire city with its omnipotent power. Bevelle, fearing the same fate, withdrew its use of machina and turned to the teachings of Yevon, which soon became their only religion.

And so the time of the summoners came.

Following in the path of Lady Yunalesca, summoners would travel on a pilgrimage throughout Spira to the temples of Yevon and pray in the hope that they were worthy of receiving the Final Aeon. Only the Final Aeon alone would be able to defeat Sin and bring ten years of peace – known as the Calm – to Spira from its terrifying ways.

One thousand years have passed since Sin’s birth. A summoner and his guardians travel Spira’s temples to defeat Sin, hoping that they can finally put the felonies of the past behind them.

Rules

No godmodding, powerplaying, metagaming, etc. Those who join must be used to these by now. If not, look them up!

Keep all OOC (Out Of Character) in this thread and IC (In Character) in the main RP thread.

Good English grammar and punctuation are most certainly a requirement.

Romance is encouraged. We need a bit of that every now and again, right?

Comedy is most certainly encouraged as well! Now what kind of RP doesn’t have some light-hearted fun here and there?

Character themes in the template must have lyrics, whilst the battle one should be instrumental.

There are only five spots for guardians.

Put “I will play my part in history accordingly” above your template to prove you have read the rules.

The RP creator’s word is FINAL!

[Gaige]

I will play my part in history accordingly​

Name: Tyrann Opaque

Age: 24

Gender: Male

Race: Human

Class: Black Mage

Weapon(s): Twin daggers, of the kind used in human and animal sacrifices in ancient times. Though they can be used for stabbing, they are most efficient when used as a slashing weapon, designed for the tearing and gouging of flesh as opposed to lethal damage.

Skills/Spells: Black Magic: Fire, Thunder, Water, Blizzard

Hometown: Luca

Personality: Sarcastic and deadpan, Tyrann isn't exactly known for keeping his mouth to himself. Though proficient with the dagger, his tongue can be even sharper. And with a knowledge of vulgarity the people of Spira would find hard to match, he can cut the egos of most people down to size with words before he has to use force.

He isn't outspoken all the time, but he isn't likely to let anyone away with anything if he can give them a good tongue lashing and a stare of death before sending them on their way. He can keep quiet when it's imperative, but otherwise he's likely to tell someone to fuck off if he thinks they're in the wrong- or if they're just pissing him off, for that matter.

Underneath the sarcastic, outspoken, vulgar side is a relatively compassionate person. He just doesn't show it too often because he doesn't know how, and because he just doesn't want to. It would take quite the shock to break his guard and expose his more youthful, emotional side.

He knows how to relax and have a good time though, and has been seen snorting the occasional Hypello brewed "herbal remedy" or drinking from a small container he keeps on him at all times now and again.

Appearance: A little short at five foot seven, with a slightly thin face, he regardless has a healthy tan from years of living in a warm climate. With black, slightly ruffled hair, he maintains a youthful appearance despite a default stoic expression. He really only has three facial expressions. Mildly irritated, mildly amused, and batshit insane.

He also has a rather slim form, contributing to the slightly jarring words that come out of such a small, slim guy. He is rather handsome, with blue eyes, a young face, thin lips, and a nose that isn't particularly big or small.

Attire: Wearing a simple white t-shirt and brown leather jacket, Tyrann's clothes aren't particularly expensive, but they are at the very least stylish. With a collection of black and blue jeans and scuffed white sneakers, his fashion is typical of a 30s Greaser.

He wears a few minor accessories and such, such as a bronze ring around his right ring finger, and a red and white striped bandanna around his head, ruffling it even more.

Bio: To be revealed.

[DeusExLumina]

I will play my part in history accordingly
​

Name: Cort DelMai
Age: 28
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Class: Red Mage
Weapon(s): Spear
Skills/Spells: A jack of all trades, but master of none. He's studied Black and White magic, as well as the sword and spear although he favors the latter.
Hometown: Luca
Personality: Cocky and sometimes brash, Cort would rather put on a show than do battle. He's good with the ladies, he always has been, and his good looks don't hurt either. He'd rather negotiate than fight but he's always ready when a situation arises, and it seems like situations arise often for him. He's usually the center of a party, and while sometimes annoying, he's good to have on your side in a bind.

He has many stories to tell of adventure that he likes to tell, but none as great as the one he's about to embark upon as a Summoner's Guardian.
Appearance: Tall and slim with long curly brown hair, although he gets many compliments on his looks, he hides his face behind a beard.
Attire: A flamboyant red outfit with a large hat with a feather in it and a long leather coat. His undershirt is a simple white cloth shirt with buttons at the collar. The easiest comparison to draw is to a traditional pirate. He carries his spear on his back as well as a messenger's bag of assorted goods.
Bio: He's was born in Luca but left promptly when he'd come of age (15) to lead a life of adventure.

He spent the next ten years of his life traveling the world of Spira with no companions but his Chocobo, Gendo. He quickly became cultured of the world and the people around him, learning the tricks of the trade of just getting by.

He recently returned to Luca on a whim and is now living on the streets.

[Raiiyokuu]

Hey Ami, can you reserve me a spot.

Since I have a tendency to get sidetrack with other things, at least I won't have to worry about not getting in if I get a reserve.

And you can hang on to it for 3-5 days, if my character sheet has not been done within that time, then you can take my spot off. But, I'd also love some reminders.

Looking forward to this RP. Thanks in advance.

Sword

Despite this, she is a somewhat talkative person, despite her failings.

Bio:
Ariella was born in Kilika, her father was a Crusader and her mother was a devout Yevonite. As a child, she was taught how to fight at a young age, to defend herself against the fiends that prowled the forests of the island.

Six years ago, through her travels back and forth from the temple that she met with a young summoner. Wanting to prove herself and be a legendary hero among the people of Spira. Ariella requested and was accepted to be her guardian.

Through her travels, Ariella learned much about the world of Spira as she traveled with the summoner through her pilgrimage. But due to a lack in judgment and inexperience in battle, the summoner that she was supposed to protect was killed in front of her eyes, an event that traumatized Ariella to this day.

Since then, Ariella went on to Bevelle where she served as a member of the Bevelle Guard for some time, eventually leaving the group to return home to Kilika, this is where her story begins...

UGGH I made this late at night so I cant think straight, If I messed things up Ill fix them later. Hopefully my RP game isnt off. (Nina is my second Rp character. Followed By Kira and Cadence)

 

[Martel]

Has the villain is this been cast, or is the spot open? I'll take it if not and have a bio up by the end of the day

...well, the Seymour of the RP, if you will. The one who should be the primary villain but gets overshadowed by the giant whale. xD

 

[Linnaete]

I'm mentally jotting down some ideas, so a bio will be up either by the end of today or by the end of tomorrow. The characters I usually enjoy writing tend to be ones who like to oppose the established status quo, so I may go write up an Al-Bhed character. I'll need another RP to play around in with the FFXIII one not exactly the most active of RPs at the moment.

 

[Amizon]

Himeno, not accepted. Using Rikku as a picture is setting a bad picture in my mind already. No offense, but the template isn't up to standard.

Diar, you're accepted.

Kyoshiro, I will reserve a spot for you. No problems there.

Kevin, you're accepted as well.

SummonerAmaterasu, I may need more for the bio. It seems a bit short at the moment. So not accepted for now.

Martel, we've come to our own arrangements and I'm sure you'll do well in what we've planned already. Can't wait to see your template!

Olivia, I'll reserve a spot for you.

It looks as though all spots have been filled for the guardians, however, I have a few other people to yet post their templates.

 

[Lebreau]

Hold me a spot please? D:

wait... if all the guardians are filled, what else can we be? =/

 

[Amizon]

Hold me a spot please? D:

wait... if all the guardians are filled, what else can we be? =/

I suppose I can make an exception or two for more.

 

[Lebreau]

Well then... dibs on the white mage? Thank you <3

 

[Amizon]

Yes, your spot has been well and truly reserved.

And I was dying for a White Mage to sign up, too!

 

[MagicMasher]

I'd like a spot reserved as well, but if you don't have any more Guardian spots I can try to make up some other form of character. Maybe a Semi-villain?

 

[Amizon]

I'd like a spot reserved as well, but if you don't have any more Guardian spots I can try to make up some other form of character. Maybe a Semi-villain?

I suppose I can squeeze in one more guardian. We've already got two villains coming up and I've no problem with one last guardian.

Edit: Spots for guardians have now been closed. For those not accepted, you won't be able to join as one unless someone drops out of a role that has had it reserved.

 

[MagicMasher]

I suppose I can squeeze in one more guardian. We've already got two villains coming up and I've no problem with one last guardian.

All right. Thanks, Ami. However, if it turns out that there are too many Guardians/overloaded, I wouldn't mind retracting my character (since I was the last one to join so far.)

 

[Martel]

Bio #1 done~

I have already played my part in history, albeit not accordingly.

Name: Selene
Age: 24
Gender: Female
Race: Al-Bhed/Guado half-breed
Class: White Mage (Summoner)
Weapon(s): Staff
Skills/Spells: White Magic, and the ability to summon Anima
Hometown: Guadosalam

Personality: Selene is a very enigmatic individual. She has a permanent faraway look in her eye, and will often space-out, even if she is right in the middle of a conversation with someone. Words, thoughts, places and people trigger memories, thoughts and feelings within her, seemingly at random, and to her it feels as though these are someone else’s memories; that she is but an observer.

Selene is a very impulsive individual, and will act without thinking, and even after the event she is often not entirely sure why she acted the way that she did. She dwells often on matters that come unbidden to her memory, although her train of thought will often change mid-thought, as she struggles to make links between things, or something else simply intrudes into her mind, beyond her control. She is a very difficult person to understand, and when talking to her others get the impression as though she is haunted by something, or as though something is holding her back, yet she is either unwilling or unable to discuss it, or unaware of it altogether. She is often mistaken for one who is infected with Sin’s toxin, although with further conversation people are often inclined to just label her as a daydreamer. She isn’t entirely there, but how would a summoner of all people become infected with Sin’s toxin?

Despite her mysterious demeanour, she is kind-hearted to a fault, and has a presence that can set even the most restless of minds at ease. Quick to smile (although it is often a melancholy smile) but never to laugh, she is as enigmatic to others as she is, it would seem, to herself. She is very open with others, although at the same time she reveals very little: it seems that there just isn’t much to tell. Her honesty does not lead people to believe that she is hiding anything from them, and with Selene, what you see appears to be what you get; a kind-hearted, yet ditzy, summoner, yet without the drive to succeed that other summoners have – indeed, she often gives the impression that she is quite content to drift through Spira and let Sin come to her when they’re both ready. She is missing something, and neither she nor those who encounter her can quite place it.

It would be a mistake to label her an optimist; rather, she exudes a natural confidence (ironic, given that she herself is unaware as to the source of her confidence) that inspires those around her to think positively. Selene herself is actually quite passive: she dislikes conflict, and has no real opinion on matters. What will be, will be. She is supremely unconcerned with her surroundings, focusing instead on the bigger picture. She has become, with her lack of memory, a creature of almost pure instinct, a wraith in a world that she does not entirely belong to.

Selene, if anything, lacks personality. She is detached from the world and, whilst not self-absorbed, is trapped somewhere within her own memories, trying to make sense of things. She believes her current goal is to defeat Sin – and, indeed, her ability to summon and formidable magical prowess suggests as much – yet she lacks travelling companions, and her strength is far beyond that of a summon who is just starting out on their quest. There is a nag in her head that tells her, constantly, that something is very wrong, yet the answers lie just out of her reach.

Appearance: Selene is 5’5” in height, and has the slim, willowy frame with slightly longer than average arms and legs that are a racial trait of the Guado, although her hands are relatively small by comparison, and the veins around her face are not quite so knotted; although as her complexion is practically bloodless, they stand out almost as much as a normal Guado’s do. Her hair falls down to around her waist, although it is a light blonde, as opposed to the darker blue/green that most Guado have; an Al-Bhed trait. Her features are drawn and somewhat regal: high cheekbones, a long-straight nose with a slightly pointed tip, pale, bloodless lips, all accentuated by dark veins. Her eyes are heavy-lidded, making her appear as though she is in a stupor, and are a lifeless grey, although they are swirled, an Al-Bhed characteristic.

Attire: Selene wears a simple white robe, the hem and cuffs of which are laced with black, which is slightly sturdier than the white material the robe is made from. Despite all it has been through, the robe is as pristine as it was when she first donned it. She often wears the hood up, to disguise her distinct facial features. She also wears worn leather boots that reach up to her knees, and a single silver ring with a small sapphire embedded in the centre.

Bio: Selene was born the child of an Al-Bhed and a Guado, an unusual union that earned her considerable amounts of distaste and scorn amongst both races. During her childhood, she lived with her mother, and the Guado side of her family – she was something of a secret child, a secret shame, never allowed to socialise, and rarely allowed out of the house. Her elder sister, who was pure Guado, was her caretaker for much of her youth; her mother was often ill, and she saw her father a total of three times over her life, before he was killed by Sin, shortly before her tenth birthday. It was her father’s death – and her mother’s grief – that prompted her to become a Summoner. She finally succeeded in this when she was nineteen, and began her pilgrimage, along with three companions – Farah, her elder sister, Xenia, her closest friend and the daughter of an old friend to the family, and Khonsu, a friend of her sister’s, who later became her lover.

However, her pilgrimage did not go smoothly – as a summoner, she was admired and revered. As an Al-Bhed/Guado half-breed, she was treated with contempt. As the large majority of people found out the latter fact before the former, their subsequent respect was hollow and meaningless, and over time, Selene began to feel less and less that these people deserved to be saved, although she never said as much to her companions, or anyone else.

Her sister’s death marked a turning point: Sin attacked a coastal village that they happened to be very close to at the time and, naturally, they rushed to aid the village. Selene had acquired several summons by this point, and was able to fend off the sinspawn with relative ease. However, she could not be everywhere at once, and nor could she stop Sin itself. In it’s mindless rampage, the creature conjured a cyclone, which ripped through the remnants of the village. Selene, Xenia and Khonsu were all extremely lucky to escape. Farah was not so fortunate, and was crushed by falling debris. Her death broke Selene’s spirit utterly, and she refused to speak to either of her companions for months afterwards.

It was Khonsu who finally reached her through her grief and, a short time later, the two became lovers. Selene re-discovered her purpose as a summoner, and continued her pilgrimage, eventually acquiring all of the Aeons and finally being at the stage where she could confront Sin. However, she was devastated to find that the sacrifice of one of her companions to become the Final Aeon was required to defeat Sin. Naturally, Khonsu volunteered, although in the end, she could not let go of her lover. She refused to and, as a result, Sin annihilated them both, absorbing Khonsu and swallowing Selene and Xenia in a burst of energy.

Selene awoke in her home in Guadosalam, alone. Her memories naught but flashes, and a strange detachment upon her very existence, she left shortly afterwards, wandering the lands. Of her companions, she remembered little – only that she had an elder sister, a lover, and a friend – and of her goals even less, only that she must travel the lands and eventually confront Sin. When she told people this, they hailed her as a summoner and, over time, she embraced this again as her calling, all the while oblivious to the truth: that she was, in fact, dead, and that she had failed in her quest. Guided by her instincts and shattered memories, Selene continues to travel the lands, in search of answers and what she assumes is her goal, all the while attempting to ignore the nagging feeling that this is not the case…
