Two years have passed since Ultimecia's defeat, and Rinoa and Squall are happier than ever. However, something is gathering in Balamb Garden and the surrounding area. Odd occurences, called Warps, are depositing things that never existed and taking whole buildings away. The occurences are getting more violent, and huge monsters are being brought into being by the orchestrator of all this chaos. Recently, people have been hurt, killed, by these Warps.

The SEEDS are suspicious with this sudden change in time and space, and are wondering if their old enemy is rising again, somehow breaking the cycle of death she has been locked in.

The group must get to the bottom of what is causing these chaos, but as the Warps spread, time is not on their side.

Canon Characters.

Anyone wanting to take control of a canon character will have to either make a very detailed bio, or prove that they have a good understanding of the character by writing an extract featuring the character. I won't tell you exactly what to write for either, but if you think you're good enough, take a shot.

I'm hoping for this to be a long-term RP if I can, so keep it going if you're able.

I'll be taking Squall. Anyway, the available characters are:

Rinoa

Zell

Quistis

Irvine

Selphie

Edea (I'm alright with people giving her powers back.)

Seifer

Laguna

Kiros

Ward

Ultimecia will be reserved for people who can handle her. Anyone who is interested let me know.

Cid

Xu

Biggs/Wedge

Martine

Fury Caraway

Odine

Kadowaki

Ellone

____________________________________________________
Rapture Sorceresses

Given power by Ultimecia, this terrorist group is made up of males as well, but is given this name in honour of Ultimecia.
They desperately want to revive her, and hope that if they create enough Warps, they will be strong enough to bring her back. The highest honour would be to have Ultimecia use you as a vessel, in their eyes

Include:

Name

Age

Appearance and Clothing

Personality

Weapons

Magical Ability

History

OC's

Any characters who don't fit into Canon characters or Rapture Sorceresses are OC's, and the same bio as above applies.

Well, thanks for joining if you decide to.
 
I'll go with an Original Character, I suck at trying to imitate an already available character.

Name: Christiane Freiherr

Age: 17

Appearance and Clothing:
Monk_colored_by_tonbo87.jpg

Christiane wears a brown cloak, underneath it is a modified brown fighter's gi used in East Asian Martial Arts, she has wraps wrapped around her lower leg near the foot and knee, on the upper arm near the shoulder, and around her abdomen.

Personality: Unlike the Arrogant Zell, Christiane is taciturn, stotic, but not as stotic as Squall, and is known to be the Warrior Poet, having read several poems and written a few that had become more well known than her fighting skill in Garden.

Weapons: Christiane is an expert at unarmed combat. She is a master of Muay Thai Kickboxing, and knows skills in Brazilian Ju-Jitsu and Standard Kickboxing. While she isn't as good as Zell, she could hold her own in combat against multiple opponents with ease. Preferring Power, Christiane can use powerful strikes to down opponents easily. However she is not the quickest fighter (although she is not that slow either)

Christiane is also skilled in fighting using her Quarterstaff, using fighting styles ranging from Medieval Quarterstaff fighting to various East Asian styles. She is not as powerful at stick fighting as unarmed combat however.

Magical Ability:
She does not know any innate magical abilities and because of this, must rely on the power of the Guardian Forces to supply her with such capability.

GF have no preference with or against her, meaning she is compatible with all GF's equally.

History: Born in the town of Dollet, Christiane enamoured to be a skilled warrior like her father, who was a member of the Dollet Special Forces until his eventual death when she was 12 (3 years prior to FF8).

Christiane was admitted to Balamb Garden Academy and was trained in hand-to-hand combat by her teachers and friends. She is now ready to take her SeeD exam and become just as much a legend as Squall, Zell, and many others.

Well, some character's personalities may be a tad different after FF8's events (I recall Seifer being more happy and laughing with his friends, compared to his sinister, dutiful, harsh attitude) so that might have to go into consideration xD

Also, I might give Laguna a shot, been a while since I played FF8 up to Esthar, so I might be rusty. If he's fine i'll send the paragraph+ of me as Laguna, if it helps, just give me a scenario and i'll go with it ;)

This is for an OC

Name: David Steelwing
Age: 18

Appearance and Clothing: http://media.animegalleries.net/albums/userpics/217423/swordsman.jpg if necessary i'll include a text description too

Personality: A calm, cool and collected character who is often viewed as a loner, in spite of this he is quite intelligent, devoting time equal to study and swordplay. He doesn't have a particularly friendly appeal at first, preferring to focus time on bettering himself and only really talks to people when adressed by a superior or on a mission, in both instances it being more that he has no choice.

Weapons: http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff281/Aschthebloody21/swordsman.jpg just the sword, nothing else, as well as the weapon in the appearance pic

Magical Ability: Being one to apply to study, David has capabilities in GF handling, though he prefers not to use them. For the most part he uses them for magic alone. Favouring the thunder elemental spells, non elemental spells and the aura spell.

History: Growing up in a neglectful family, David grew up unloved and not loving in return. When he hit 15 he joined Balamb Garden, trying to make a name for himself in a world where nobody cared for him.

When his 18th birthday approached he took the written exam to join SeeD and a week later took the practical exam to defeat the Ifrit inside Fire Cavern. Passing both on the work level with flying colours but low on the leadership and more social levels, he now waited to begin the main part of the SeeD exam.

This is an ORIGINAL CHARACTER, hope you like him, this RP looks like it’s going to show some potential and hopefully it will ;)

Name: Markus Fairdale

Sex: Male

Age: Seventeen

Appearance: Markus is a teenager of medium height and of slim build, he weighs approximately ninety kilograms and appears to be at least five foot eight. He has medium length, dark brown hair along with startlingly blue eyes to suit his slim but handsome face. Here's a close image of how he looks for those who want a better picture http://www.animecharactersdatabase.com/viewone.php?id=15773

Clothing: Markus traditionally prefers light clothing, in the weight sense as he cannot stand his movements being hindered by heavy clothing. He’ll often wear a light coloured shirt, covered by his normal dark green jacket. He also prefers to wear his light brown baggy pants and simple brown boots.

Physical Abilities: Despite his appearance, Markus is very strong with an incredible amount of agility allowing him to run and jump with an amazing amount of agile, speed and grace. Due to this he prefers to wield light weapons, such as the simple blade, however he does have skill with many other weapons including guns, gun blade and a whore variety of physical weaponry.

Personality: Due to his upbringing and the things that happened to him as a child, Markus has learnt to be completely self-reliant and as such, doesn’t feel that he requires friends. He is quite intelligent and an incredibly good tactician, however he is often quite untrusting of other’s abilities unless he has seen them for himself which often hinders this ability. He is however, incredibly protective of those he does get close to. Despite the fact that he rarely shows this, if his companions are in danger, he will throw himself into the middle of any situation to save them.

Weapons: Markus’ most preferred weapon is that of the simple blade which he carries on his back. Just under three feet in length, it is a light and easily manoeuvrable weapon. It is a simple, pointed blade and holds no special properties known to Markus, it is simply a blade he inherited from his father.

His main prominence is with his blade, however he is quite adept with many others weapons such as the Gunblade, simple guns, spears and if need be, his own fists along with many more. Here's an idea of what his blade looks like, it's just a bit shorter than that and slightly more thinner http://pascalg.files.wordpress.com/2007/11/berserk1.jpg

Magical Ability: Markus has a very high affinity with the GF Ifrit and therefore is quite prominent with Fire Magic he has been given by Ifrit himself. Despite this, he prefers to use his weapon in a battle and only uses magic as a last resort.

History: From an early age Markus’ life has been lonesome and neglectful, his parents died when he was barely five years old and up until he was fifteen years of age he wandered the world alone, honing his skill with the blade. During his fifteenth year of life, he spent many months taking jobs that required his skills until they eventually dried up. It was then that he was approached by Headmaster Cid and offered a chance to become a member of a prestigious group, the SeeD.

Accepting reluctantly he was taught to master his blade and become a mercenary, just before he was due to take his written exam however, the Ultimecia crisis occurred and SeeD operations were put to a halt. Once it was over however, he did not feel like he wanted to continue. Only through the hard talking of one of the senior SeeDs was he convinced to take his written exam. Having obtained Ifrit many years ago through unknown circumstances, unknown to all but himself anyway, he was not required to take the practical exam and now waits to take the Field Exam.
 
Great job, everyone! You're all approved. Thanks! This RP will start when we get a few more people.
 
I was really interested, but I hadn't seen a post in a little bit so I was unsure. I saw your post in the RP group so...why not? Good place for me to start I think, plus I LOVE FFVIII. There are a lot of VIII characters open obviously. I feel I know a few of the characters pretty well. I'm confident I could handle Zell, Irvine, Selphie, Kiros, or Xu/Quintis well. But...I think Zell's my favorite so I'll take a shot with him.

Name: Zell Dincht

Age: 19

Appearance and Clothing:

Zell has bright blonde hair, spiked and slicked back somewhat from his forehead. His blue eyes show a fun tenacity in his personality. Despite his bright eyes, when people first see him, they can't help but notice the weaving black tattoo on the left side of his face. He wears a fire red shirt, though no matter the climate, a black hoodie is worn on top of it with a blue flair on the arm. The arms of the hoodie up to the elbow appear to be cut off, showing his muscular forearms. Zell always wears his black gloves for protecting his hands. He has very loose denim corduroy pants which cut off at just below his knee. Zell wears black shoes which have a red flame on the sides with short gray socks. He has a very lean body, kept in shape by his martial arts training, so he quite a bit of lean muscle with very little body fat. During the battles against Galbadia and Ultimecia, Zell was quite short for a boy at 5'5". However, in the past two years he has grown quite a bit to around 5'10".

Personality:

Zell can be pretty intense, and quite a hothead. He tends to go full throttle in whatever it is that he is doing, from the very serious to the most mundane. He also seems to take life easily, very much in a 'easy come, easy go' attitude. However, if someone makes him mad or makes fun of him, he becomes outraged in an instant, screaming out in a bellowing, angered voice. The only one that usually ended up putting him in that position was Seifer though.

Almost any other time, he tends to irritate those around him with his constant chatter, questions, and just moving around, waving his fists in a corner when he gets bored. When things get down to the buckle however, Zell can quickly focus and understand what he needs to do, and does these assignments well. So long that he doesn't have to be delicate or use his brains too much, he usually saves the thinking up plans to Squall, literally asking him what they're supposed to do. He finds Squall to be a good friend, even though they're on opposite spectrum's with their personalities.

His friendship with Squall is a close one. If something is on Zell's mind, he'll run around just to find Squall and tell him something that happened to him or explain what's on his mind. From how he killed this big monster by himself, to even girl trouble, he'll only go and see Squall, no matter how busy he might be with something else. It seems Squall is annoyed by this a lot, but he doesn't usually specifically say for Zell to go away or leave him alone. This might hint that Squall is close to Zell in his own way as well. It's clear that while Zell is close friends with Squall, he relies on him as a leader which shows the absolute trust he has for Squall. Zell is certainly attached to all the members of the team though, thinking of them all as part of his extended family.

Despite being quick to act and a bit of a hothead, Zell is a very caring and compassionate young man. If someone he knows is hurting or upset, he'll do anything he can to help them, even if he goes about it a bit sloppily. What he can't stand is someone taking advantage of others for their selfish gains, or doing what he thinks just isn't right. Sometimes he isn't very good at explaining why he doesn't like something, he just knows its wrong and wants to do what he can to stop it. The others almost always agree and accommodated in the past to put a stop to it, such as with Galbadia's invasions, Seifer becoming a Sorceress' Knight, and Ultimecia's own ambitions.

Aside from the serious nature of things, Zell likes having fun, so he hangs out with Selphie quite a bit. Except when she's planning the next Garden Festival. Often, Zell, Selphie, and Rinoa will plan to have a day of fun activities so part of the game will be to try and secretly drag Squall in on it, just for fun. For whatever reason, he seems to get a better kick out of things when Squall comes along too. Often he'll nudge Squall with a little smirk, seeing what reaction Squall has. It has also become widely known throughout Garden that Zell loves the Cafeteria hot dogs. However, no matter how much he hurries, most of the time they're usually fresh out just before he gets there.

Weapons: His gloves are all he needs. Sometimes there is extra plating put on them for added damage, if Zell happens to see a glove in a store window he particularly likes. But his punches and kicks are all he needs to take care of almost any opponent.

Magic Ability: Zell has decent magic power; however, his time is better spent attacking the enemy with his powerful attacks. Magic is more commonly used by Selphie or Rinoa. Instead, whatever magic he may have, he likes to junction to his strength.

History:

What specifically happened to his biological parents, nobody knows. He was taken in as a little boy to Matron's house, which was soon turned into an orphanage for children with no homes to call their own. Even when young, he was often physically protected by a young Squall, with Selphie and Quintis yelling at Seifer for being a jerk.

Before he began to use GF's as a part of SeeD, he remembered being picked on often for being so small. As he got older, he wanted to join SeeD not just to make a difference but become stronger so people would stop picking on him. Instead of choosing to use guns or swords, Zell wanted to train his own body in martial arts. It became convenient for Zell when Matron married a younger Cid, creating Garden and SeeD. All of the orphans ended up joining SeeD, though a few of them went away when future Gardens were established. Once Zell and the others began using GF's, his childhood memory faded, eventually forgetting that he ever knew his comrades as children.

Eventually, he became an official member of SeeD with Squall thanks in part to the events of the Dollet mission. He stayed with Squall, Selphie, and the others from that point on in the battle against the Galbadian Empire and initially, Sorceress Edea. Finding out Edea was actually Matron, the owner of the Orphanage he grew up in and co-founder of SeeD, it was explained she was being controlled by a more powerful Sorceress, Ultimecia. Upon defeating another sorceress Adel, saving the secret metropolis of Esthar and realizing Rinoa had the abilities of a sorceress as well, everyone came together to combat Ultimecia and her own form of the worlds destruction through Time Compression. Soon battling through time and penetrating her castle, Ultimecia was destroyed. Miraculously, Zell and everyone else made it out okay with the world intact. He returned to Balamb Garden, still living his life as a SeeD, the way he always intended. Though life since that turbulent time two years ago has been much more relaxed. A welcome relief to Zell and the others.

-----------------------

I ad-libbed a bit with Zell's close friendship with Squall and his history. Mostly based off of what I got while playing the game. It seems that Zell is dependent on Squall, and he is to a degree, but I don't want to make it sound he can't handle life without him. Just to make that clear. I may have focused on Squall as a character a little too. I didn't exactly intend for that, it just happened. If its a problem, I can edit it out.

As for his history, I'm okay with changing some of that if you like Mitsuru. I have to admit, I made up a bit of it off the top of my head. Mostly with the Orphanage and how he/everyone else joined SeeD and/or went to other Gardens. Such as Selphie going to Trabia, and Irvine at Galbadia.

If there are any changes you want me to make or further test me with a writing example using Zell, I can PM that to you as well, if you like. Unless I totally screwed up his profile. XD

Well she said earlier that she'd start it when the RP got a few more people. I'm the only one since then to join, so maybe if we get a couple other people? Either way, I'm sure she'll clarify once she gets on. ^^
 
I can't post a bio right this minute, but I'd like to try either Rinoa or Quistis (I'll edit with my bio when I get home, I'm in school right now >.>)
 
Also, I'd love to try for the part of Seifer? Shall I post a bio or extract here or did you want it PMed to you?
 
I'd like to try Irvine. Give me a bit of time and I'll edit this post to put up a bio, should be up tonight though.
 
Yay! This RP will start pretty much as soon as the others have finished their bios! If you want to PM your bio to me, fine. If not, just post it here.

Exire, your Zell bio is accepted. And I'm a guy. Just never got round to changing my gender in the CPU. :D
 
Ack, sorry! Nothing wrong with Mitsuru regardless of gender, she was my favorite character in P3. ^^

Thanks, can't wait for it to start.
 
Mmmm. She was amazing. :ryan:

I'll post a Rapture Sorceress bio soon. We need villains too!
