Final Fantasy IX: The Fall of Mages

Whoo. Well, it would appear that my previous character, Gabriel 'did a great job in sea battle'. Since I intend to create an entirely new character, I will abandon the previous character, leaving him as a deceased warrior in battle.

So, here's the new character. Hopefully, more members join in.

My character:

Name:
Luna Crescent

Alignment: ( Good/ Neutral/ Bad)
(Extremely) Neutral

Title: ( If you got one...like Red Dragon Knight or Head of some village)
Queen of Weapons

Gender:
Female

Age:
15

Appearance:
AnimeFemaleNinja.jpg

As the image suggests, she is rather small sized, being rather young too. Standing at a height of merely 156cm, and weighing about 50kg, she certainly doesn't appear to be challenge, but can readily summon any weapon, and manipulate them freely towards her opponents.

Her commonly seen dressing is as shown. Hair color is black, not brown, as with iris color. She does carry a pouch as shown in the picture that also acts as a belt.

Personality:
Innocently naive, and cold. Occasionally cute (When the naivety shows; also her most attractive quality)

At her tender age, despite having mastered her ability to call forth any weapon to use at her disposal, she has yet to learn the harshness, and evil of the world. As such, she is an easily manipulated person.

As a child, her parents were murdered, and thus unlocked her powers, which she has since honed to perfection. This murder that she witness right before her eyes caused her to close up to the world around her. Thereafter, she was extremely cold to people she didn't know, and very wary. Though, most of the time, her naivety gets the best of her, making her trust the person more easily.

However, when in battle, she is a deadly force to be reckoned with. Overwhelmingly calm, and composed, opponents find it difficult to use scare tactics to lower her guard. It is only through sheer skill that she may be bested. There are occasions where she goes berserk, but that is only when she is somehow angered. There are varying degrees even then.

A lesser extent would actually help her. She becomes more intent on winning, and becomes more cunning in her methods of achieving victory. Whenever the opponent pushes her to this extent, they ALWAYS lose.

A larger extent would disadvantage her. She becomes overly intent on killing the opponent more than winning, and loses her cool. This results in various loopholes in defenses as she struggles desperately to kill as soon as possible. However, at the expense of defense, her fury heightens her speed and strength. Victory is possible, but slim.

(Not to worry, the extent of anger will be described in detail at the right time... By me, of course- obviously?)

Weapons: (What kind of weapons he/she uses, if he/she does...)
Crescent Blade (The weapon in the picture)
Is blood red, not because of the many people it has slain, but because of the ruby it is partially coated with. It is also Luna's favorite choice of weapon.

Abilities: ( What is he capable of, what kind of magic, skills is he able to use. For example weapons skill or black magic)
Weapon Art-
Unlike most mages, her magic is extremely unique to her, and very much sought after. At present, Luna is the only one who has mastered this art (And perhaps the only one that knows it). Simply said, it is the ability to summon weapons and control them. (Imagine Noctis from Final Fantasy XIII Versus)

However, the number of weapons she may summon is limited to 10, which is already quite a lot. Do not scare yourself into thinking she can use that many skillfully, however. With more weapons, she has to divide her focus to control them all efficiently.

This divided attention results in weaker skillfulness against the opponents. Furthermore, it is mentally draining. The weapons summoned can be of any kind, but all are made of Mithril. Luna's Crescent Saber is also made of Mithril, but decorated with Ruby.

This magical art of hers, makes use of her mental prowess. If overused, she would fall unconscious. Otherwise, a slight headache would be all that she suffers.

Swordsmanship-
The proficiency she has attained from continuous use of her weapon, the Crescent Saber has allowed her to reach the pinnacle of swordsmanship. Unfortunately, despite this, she uses her Weapon Arts ability more than she uses her individual swordsmanship, which also leads many to the fallacy that she is weak with just a one to one duel. (With one weapon)

Fighting style: (How he likes to fight and is he/she keen on to magic or blade)
As mentioned above, she uses her Weapon Arts a lot. When in battle, she would summon about 4 weapons: The Lance, Axe, Sword and Dagger. By swirling them around her, she creates a pseudo barrier around her that prevents most from even daring to step in.

Against magic, she isn't exactly helpless either. When one uses magic against her, she could quickly call the weapons together to block the spell. However, the spell may be able to go through the openings amongst the weapons and harm her, which makes this ultimately, a weak form of defense.

Also, Luna must be able to know where the spell is coming from. If she defends the wrong area, she would then be vulnerable to attacks from the other direction.

The above is against Mages. Against Warriors, her fighting style becomes more crafty, revolving around furiously attacking the enemy until an opening his defense surfaces. Then, she would exploit that opening and finish the opponent off, or weaken him badly enough.

If the Warrior is somehow able to defend against all her attacks, then she will turn to creating as much wounds, however small, on the opponent. So as to ensure he bleeds to death.

Race: (Like a rat-man, elf, black-mage or something else)
Human

Nation: ( Alexandria citizen etc..)
Unknown, likes Alexandria (And proclaims herself to be Alexandrian)

Home: (Lindblum or Alexandria or Oeilvert or a village thought up by you)
She doesn't know, being born and orphan roaming the streets of Alexandria. (And doesn't intend to find out.)

Job / Class: ( As who he works. A shopkeeper, assassin, mercenary, prostitute or who ever you wish/ Is he/she a white mage, red mage, warrior or something else)
Assassin

History: ( You know what it means)
Born to ordinary parents from Dali, they knew Luna was more than just an ordinary girl from birth. At her birth, there were 10 lumps of Mithril that she vomited. These promptly disappeared at her parents' touch.

However, that was all to the strangeness. Her parents didn't think much of it. The extraordinariness that they once thought Luna to have faded with time. Thus came and went 5 years. The two decides to bring Luna on a trip to Alexandria.

They had fun, watching the Chocobo Races and all. However, all good things must come to an end. For Luna, this end was vicious. While returning to their inn, her parents were forcefully dragged into an alley.

There, they were brutally murdered right before her very eyes. The fear, the sadness and the anger triggered something within her, and released the potential she had kept within for a long time.

Summoning 10 weapons, she returns the favor, equally brutal. Thereafter, her personality was crafted (As mentioned above). Also, she has made it a point never to forget her parents, no matter what. And to be careful of whoever she encounters.

She since spent her life wandering around, staying this way till about 8 years. She earned her money by robbing others, ensuring that they live to escape (Since she didn't want to replicate the encounter with the robbers earlier). Then, one day, her victim fought back.

Turned out the person she was trying to rob was an assassin. Years of experienced proved to be the determining factor to victory. Defeated, Luna thought her death had came, but thankfully, the assassin saw, instead, potential in her. Compelling her to serve him for life, he made her go for assassin missions in his stead.

And so, another 3 years goes by like this: With Luna assassinating others at his behest. However, the assassin was getting on in age. Furthermore, the missions allowed Luna to gain experience she would otherwise not have.

This led to the realization that she had little need to stay with the assassin at all. Unfortunately for her, by that time, thanks to her hard work, the assassin now had a private army (Albeit small). Leaving was not going to be an easy task, but the naive girl did so anyway.

With that, she began a life of escape from her old assassin master. Yet another 3 years goes by. At age 14, the army stopped chasing her. Apparently, the army that the assassin had built up was now disbanded, as the assassin was unable to pay for their services any more. (Since he no longer worked)

Ironically, this very same assassin returned, surprising her in an attempt on her life. The result was obvious. The old assassin was way too out of practice, and was way too out of shape. The young and fit Luna saw no problem in putting the old assassin out of action.

This was the last person she killed. Since then, she has turned to more peaceful methods to earning money. Working as a courier, she now helps to deliver messages from people to people. Although business was not as brisk than her assassin days, she did well enough to get by.

It is in this year, that the war happened. With the world in turmoil, she once again took up her weapon (Not so literally), and honed her skills, in hope her assassin services could once again be taken. The pathetic earnings from her courier service was starting to incur for her much debts.

Accepted, as you might already know :D A nice character indeed. Anyway, go on and post. Alexandria is being attacked at the moment :(

EDIT:
@Galm 2 - Well, the technology of warships and ships has increased. The overall engineering level has also increased, but there are no cars, planes, bikes or anything like that. Also, there is no such thing as IT :D BTW! They know how to make explosives and bombs, besides, there are some very basic guns available, though they are still kind of useless when compared to modern guns.

So in the end, the changes aren't very dramatic, yet the uses of guns and explosives in battle has made even mere mortals capable of killing talented ones.

Basically, it's like WWI IRL without the tanks and cars and crap and stuff.....

At least they still have Aircraft....
 
Yeah :) Pretty much like that besides one huge thing: Magic :D And well, only like 30% of soldiers use guns (the amount actually varies on the empire/country they are from. For example, like 50% of Oeilvert has at least one handgun, while like 5% of Burcmeria has guns), others are using classic weapons like bows, crossbows, swords, spears and everything else.
 
Name: Augustina Iifa "Tina" Tarvis

Alignment: Neutral Good

Title: The Rose of Death

Gender: Female

Age: 18

Appearance:

Resonance_by_dylusia.png


Tina has white hair, white leggings with a black stripe going downwards, and wrapped around her lower legs. She wears a Robin hood-esque outfit, in a white and red robe. She is about 178 cm (roughly 5'10) and weighs 150 lbs (don't know how to convert lbs to kgs).

Personality: Augustina is a nice person for a mercenary, but is always intent on doing whatever it took to get paid. Although she is nice, she can be a bit bloodthirsty and sadistic sometimes, using tactics that would outright scare others. She is a firm believer of this statement, "Professionals have Standards: Be Polite, Be efficient, have a plan to kill everyone you meet."

Weapons:
Mage_MasherFFX11.png

-Twin Mage Mashers

Tina carries a pair of daggers which have ornate markings engraved on the steel. They have the capability of silencing an opponent by using a poison that deafens their opponent some of the time (1 in 8 chance).

300px-1930_Springfield_1903A1.JPG


-Springfield
Tina's gun of choice. She is skilled with the weapon and carries enough ammo (.30-06) to use it. Tina had acquired the Springfield as a gift from a Dagurran General. It has an attachment that allows Tina to equip one of her Mage Mashers as a Bayonet.

Abilities:
She is known for her jack of all trades master of none, except she is proficently skilled in both CQC with her Twin Mage Mashers, and her Springfield Bolt-Action Rifle. She does know magic, but she doesn't know many spells and if so, only to augment her weapons.

She is capable of shooting at a target for up to 1,000 yds.

Fighting Style:
Tina is capable of attacking an opponent in one of two ways, using her daggers (or her rifle w/bayonet) she is fast and agressive, she likes to get in your face and attack with her weapon. This is effective against warriors and magesas it would allow her to keep atacking until their defense breaks or shows an opening, then exploit her advantage.

Another way is by engaging her opponents at a distance with her Rifle, she is capable of attacking enemies from afar, up to 1,000 yds. She could fire a total of 12 rounds per minute (Using a 5 round clip). Effective against warriors as they have no long range defense against a weapon like this.

Race: Human

Nationality: Alexandrian

Home: Her home is in Dali, but has set up safehouses in just about every populated area all over Gaia.

Job: Mercenary

Class: Ninja/Gunner

History: Tina was born in the city of Alexandria, the Kingdom's Capital City. Her parents were very loving, but when they were killed by a bandit, she was left under the care of her garndfather in the sleepy village of Dali. Tina wanted to become a soldier in the Alexandrian Military, and had spent her life training for the day she would join.

When she turned 16, Tina officialy joined the Alexandrian Military at the top of her class, during a time where up and coming powers Ispen and Olievert are gaining power and influence. Despite her knowing the situation, and with the support of a few generals, the Empire refused to fight a war with them. Disillusioned about the capacity of the world Superpower, Tina left the military and became a mercenary, fighting for money and more importantly, to destroy the Olievert Empire.

Out of the ashes and Darkness an entity has returned, weather they are friend or foe, you will soon discover!

Name: Dark Lotus (formally Shera Shenju The Black Lotus)
Age: ??
Height: Around 5ft 9in (in battle armor more explained in armory) 5ft 6 normal height
Allignment: Unknown

Appearance: Dark Lotus looks like something you would typically expect of a "Dark lord of the sith" from star wars, dressed completely from head to toe in black flowing robes, a black armor chest adorned with various markings and runes in blood red are carved upon it, it also having an unusual shimmer to it....

Rather than her classic "Black Ninja" mask it has been replaced with a more robotic looking visor helmet also seemingly coloured black with shimmers or red that run across the visor like a never ending flow of blood dripping, she commonly wears her hood over the mask giving her a completely annoynmus appearance....something happened the day was felled at the hands of her own mother, something noone can understand....this magic that has been the catacylsmic cause of her rebirth is an old magic that was once thought lost in ages past.

Weapon: To match her new appearance, Dark Lotus carries a strange weapon, a weapon of pure magical infusion that she can bend and shape into any solid or flexible mass at her whim, she and the weapon are as one and only the most experienced of soldiers have ever seen such a weapon as the last was thought to have been destroyed at the end of the first great war.

Ablities: Telephathy through which she can manipulate solid objects in her surroundings and use them as a weapon.

Raw Magika: A once thought extinct form of magic, the last known user of this form was Vivi, the Caster can quickly push there very life force into there spells bolsters there power and rip portions of there victims souls away and seemingly feed on them to fuel there neverending thirst, such power comes at a price....

More to come.....
 
thanks for the welcome back :)

now for a bit about the new form of Darkrul....The Conduit of Chaos!

For those wondering Darkrul was always destined to become a boss type character, and through binding with Chaos his final and most powerful form have been realised.

Name: Darkrul The Chaos Bound

Age:??

Height: 8ft tall

Appearance: Standing some 8ft tall and extremely muscular, there is very little trace of the old Darkrul the Black Waltz lord within the Chaos bound, save the horns and glowing eyes...His former blonde hair is now an living flame and flickers with the bowels of the darkest depth of despair...his eye a darkness that glows like and eclipse...and his skin blackened and seemingly as tough as dragonscale, he wears a chared black breastplate of armor and carries both a shrouded black staff that contains the voice of Chaos and the Sword of Chaos...a vicious zwei hander upon his back.

Weapons:

Staff of Chaos: A staff entirely shrouded in dark energies...its almost impossible to make out the true form of the staff as the energy constantly bend and twist, reshaping the staff constantly....through the staff Chaos speaks to his host guiding him on there current goals.

Sword of Chaos: The regal sword of Chaos, a massive zwei hander adorned with the jewels of the lord of darkness....the sword seemingly has a life of its own as blood flows through the centre granting the weapon extreme precision and a cruelty of its own.

Personality: Extremely rutheless, uncaring, unfaultering and purely evil, the madness of Darkrul has become a burning inferno of rage that can errupt at any time serving as a conduit for Chaos to take total control of his host and put forward his plans of turning the world into his preverbial paradise.

Abilities: Extremely potent Dark magic combined with ruthless and barbaric swordsmanship.

Job: none.

Class: Dark Lord of Chaos.

Biography: After the final reading of the Book of Black arts, Darkrul bound his body forever to the will of Chaos, transforming him into a host of Chaos...Through him Chaos acts out his plans of erradicating all life upon the planet and making the world his own to launch an assault against his sworn enemies, the guardian forces of light.

Although the Chaos persona of the new Darkrul is seemingly unstoppable...Darkrul still remembers the pain of the one he thought he lost...the loss that sent him down this dark path.....and even now there is still possibly hope for redemption....Queen Alshi of Granseal may be humanities only hope against this seemingly relentless and unstoppable force.
 
its good to be back, and now lets make those evil figures to say hellou to my little friend
 
quick addition about the kingdom of Granseal in the RP:

The Kingdom of Granseal:

Ancient Kingdom of the Green and White mages said to have vanished shortly after the destruction of Gravlon, many belived the kingdom had fallen to an assault by Darkrul the Waltz Lord, but in truth the kingdom had been placed under the protection of Bahamut, Lord of Dragons and was Transported into a realm between the Earthen realm and the Guardian force realm, out of reach of Darkrul.

In the Earthen Realm Granseal appears as nothing more than a ruins, ravaged by time and seemingly devoid of life, only those that are loyal to the kingdom of Granseal or can commune directly with the Guardian forces of light can see the true splendor of the Ancient City, spires of white and gold stretch across the skyline as mages stand upon the tower walls, ever vigilant of a possible betrayal and assault upon there beloved kingdom.

Granseal is famed for its Griffon knights, an elite fighting unit of Dragoons that fight upon there Griffon steeds with tremendous Zeal, through years of training and dedication the Griffon and the Dragoon fight as one, and the Griffon will protect is master until its dying breath is drawn, its said long ago, a Dwarven ally was trained as a Dragoon and granted a Griffon and the honorary rank of Griffon Knight for his services to the Kingdom, but weather there is truth in this story is unknown...

The Soverign of Granseal is Queen Alshi, a High Priestess and extremely powerful White Mage, Beloved by her people she sits upon the throne of Granseal and rules with kindness and compasion rarely seen by many a ruler...however she harbors a dark past with the Waltz Lord Darkrul and her son is the byproduct of that past.

She has often been asked to marry but often refused saying "her heart belongs to her people", but this is often an elaborate lie as she is still very much in love with the man that was once to be her protector, gone mad and corrupted with dark power.

Her son Prince Rafl, is only aged 14, but by appearance he is seen to be 21, due to the magical connections in his blood, his apperance and age is years beyond his actual age and it is said that he may be timeless, as once he reaches the age of 16 its is said he will no longer age and eventually rule over Granseal for eternity, He has little love for his father, of whom he has only just discovered about and condones his dark actions seeing him as nothing more than a "power crazed beast"

Granseal has once again returned to the Earthen realm in full at the behest of Queen Alshi as Granseal enters the war....albeit reluctantly, but if the visions of Queen Alshi were to come true....not even there grand kingdom would be safe from the Reaches of Darkrul and they too would fall into the ever increasing Chaos of the fallen Lord...
 
Anyway, some news to you guys. Carlos and king retreated and while you are going to face Darkrul, they are preparing for another attack by forces of Ispen :D but this time a lot more of enemies. So while the fight in the academy starts, also the attack on Alexandria starts.

So when we get back from academy, Alexandria will be a bit different place :D But I don't want to spoil more. Just telling why Carlos and king retreated
