Basically, this is my reimagining of Final Fantasy XIII. We're going to come up with an original story and actions, original villains, and basically rewrite absolutely everything.

Our introduction will be very much like the first two chapters of Final Fantasy XIII. A Pulse Vestige will have been dragged up, with the whole panic over a Pulse Fal'cie generating a Purge. Your L'cie characters will be turned in that Vestige. They can fall in because of an accident, go in intentionally to rescue a loved one. Whatever.

Either way, I'll be controlling the Pulse Fal'cie, and making a few changes. Either way, it'll die soon after bestowing its powers onto you guys, making you L'cie. At that point, your focus will be undetermined. But as your Focus goes on, and as your characters develop, I'll be PMing you with your Focusses.

Eidolons will be unlocked via emotional actions, and I'll PM you when I feel your character has reached an emotional climax sufficient to cause the doubt that manifests an Eidolon, at which point I'll control it, while you fight it. The whole Doom thing will be cast, but obviously your character isn't gonna die unless you want them dead. You can only have an Eidolon prior to the story if I give explicit permission. Otherwise, unlock it like an XIII character would.

Remember, this is only loosely based on XIII, with the geography and terms used in the game. We're going to change the entire story and make it unrecognisable. Be creative, come up with new locations, and have fun with it. This is a chance for you to show some creative brilliance.

And finally, if you plan for your character to be a L'cie before the events of the story, it needs a damn good reason in your bio. Just for the emotional kick, I don't want everyone running left and right with experienced L'cie.

Fal'cie require an extremely detailed bio and particularly in appearance and personality. History not so much.

L'cie turned before the RP need a well deatiled bio in history.

L'cie turned during the RP need a moderately detailed bio.

Humans need a moderately detailed bio.

Ci'eth require a moderately detailed bio. (Yes you can use Ci'eth, and they can have at least some intelligence, but must be wild and aggressive at their core. Again, if not, it'll have to be for a good reason.

I don't suppose my villain's Focus could be to kill the thing that gave her her abilities, could it? Just a thought...if it's going to die anyway, and since she IS the lead villain... :awesome:
 
^^ I actually wanted my focus to be along those same lines. Only another fal cie - Iron Giant to be exact :jess:
 
We'll see where it takes you. You just have to RP out your characters hatred towards their Fal'cie and it'll happen with no problem.

And you put it here, Sol. Just post it when you've got the time but claim your Eidolon in advance if you wanna be on the safe side.
 
I can just see my character now :hmmm:

And then Chocolata moaned in extasy as he cast Firaga...

Bio up by tonight. :tehe:
 
Sorry Channy. But there can be as many characters like Vanille as you like. So you can make a second Vanille. :lew: No worries.
 
I have no idea what sort of character I'm going to be making yet... but I'm actually really excited for this. xD I might try to get a bio up tonight or tomorrow.
 
Not planning on joining or anything (because it's XIII), but I just wanted to stick my head in here for a second and say...

Name: Sailud De Rasche (Rasche)

Age: 15-16 326-7 if you count crystal years.

Gender: Male

Race: L'cie
Appearance:
Hair: Golden (Light)
Skin: Light Brown
Eyes: Green

He is roughly 5 foot 7 and has a fit build. He wears a solemn expression when in deep thought and loves to smile whenever possible. He has hair barely touching his shoulders and possesses a black tribal tattoo on his left arm. His clothing is odd compared to the garb worn on cocoon. He wears a black t-shirt with the sleeves ripped off. He has black boots of leather hide of animals he wears on his feet, reaching only to his mid foreleg. He wears what looks like an elegant blue silken blanket wrapped around his legs to create pants. While they look like pants of sorts, the layering of the soft robelike cloth reveal that is is only of a material tied and fastened to his legs with belt buckles and knots. The pants fit him almost tightly and he wears a matching blue blanket tied from the pants that wraps around his torso from the back to the front(Think Fang's blue thingy XD). His brand is on his chest in the middle and unseen.

Personality: Rasche is an innocent youth with his actual youth taken away from him. He acts very childish and is constantly in wonder of the things around him. He is nice to everyone and happy to help others while he can. He often likes to stick close to people and happily relies on them whenever he can. You could say that he always needs help for whatever he wants to accomplish. He favors his male role model and older brother Orouba and when in a serious situation he tries to act like him. Rasche is very bold in conversation and actions. He never thinks before he acts and he easily brushes off negativity. Despite his immature nature Rasche is loyal to his friends and is always willing to lend them a helping hand.

Weapons:

Rompalo- A weapon origionally created in his home village it consists of a blade 1 foot long attached to a retractable string which is attached to a handle. (Think a simpler version of Vanille's weapon wih less hooks.) It works as a fishing rod in certain occasions and a more advanced version has another string and blade attached to the other end. To use it, Rasche has to throw and flick his wrist and sometimes his body to move the blades therough the air. As he yanks back on the handle the blades come back towards him. He can use it in battle as a staff with a sharp blade on the end and often uses a combination of kicks and throws of his weapon to pull off a chain of effective attacks.

Primary Role: Ugh New Role please -__- He's a Saboteur!

Secondary Roles: Commander and Synth

Eidolon: Hecatonachier

Summon Animation: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=onZ2YUp6rf0 Only he touches his Le'cie brand on his chest.

Elemental Strengths: He's strong against Physical damage and Earth...I don't see how this would matter in an RP but okay o__o...

Brief History: Sailude De Rasche comes from the village of Sailude. The village resides on the world of Pulse and is known for it's skills in hunting and surviving. When he was just nine years old, Rasche became a L'cie by an unknown Falcie he and his brother encountered on a hunting trip. His focus at the time was to eliminate various villages on his home world of Pulse. With his brother at the time sharing his same focus the two completed the task, wiping out the villages of Saiah, Raleche, and Faouthos at the command of their Fal Cie. As he reached the age of 13 Rasche had been crystalized at least 5 times after every destroyed village and re-awoken. It was at this time that his brother had come to the conclusion that their Fal Cie was an enemy of Pulse and of Cocoon. Between the ages of 13 and 15 Rasche and his brother obeyed their Fal Cie and destroyed many more Pulse villages including Oerba, Adelais, and Rounfur. It was at this point that The Fal Cie had ordered both of the boys to destroy their own village. When this happened the two defied their fal Cie and turned against it, only to get turned to Crystal. Centuries later Rasche reawoke from his crystallised state along with his brother in a Vestige on Cocoon. The two had acquired a new focus which required them to destroy a powerful FalCie which had protected their world.

The two set out on Cocoon to find a way off of the planet but as they did this Rashe's older brother had decided to go back to the Vestige in which they woke on pulse to ask it for help for completing their focus to destroy the powerful Fal Cie they were up against. Rasche spent the next few days alone and with his 16th birthday supposedly coming up he felt a sadness that he would have to spend it alone. Rasche had been left alone, but in doing so he was left in a village which had become caught up in a purge. In a panic, Rasche had become worried as he had never handled a situation like this on his own before, but was caught up on a train with the rest of the purgees...

That an okay bio? Eidolon bio later :hmmm: \He doesn't have an Eidolon yet though...His older bro does however...

Name: Hecaton
Gender: Male
Summoning Animation: See above
Appearance: Um http://images.wikia.com/finalfantasy/images/c/c0/HecatonCG.jpg
Personality: Hecaton is very strong and courageous. He's very much an opposite to Rasche in personality and constantly cheers him on. He can be very bold and encourages Rasche to try new things in battle. When fighting he often find\s himself watching over Rasche as if the boy was a son. The two have have an unbreakable bond of friendship.
Attacks including magic.

1 - Hecaton usually shoots beams at his enemies which contain non elemental damage. He shoots them while supporting in battle like a machine gun.

2 - Hecaton casts healing magic to cure Rasche when he's down.

3 - Hecaton Picks Rasche up and throws him at the enemy where Rasche will perform a strong physical strike with his weapon.

4 - Hecaton will occasionally block enemy hits coming towards Rasche if the boy is in danger.

Gestalt Mode and attacks during Gestalt Mode.

Attacks- Hecaton uses the same basic attacks as in the game.

Gestalt Mode Attack - The ultimate attack consists of Hecaton, while having Rasche on his back (like Vanille does), jump high into he air and above the clouds where Rasche focuses it's two cannons on the enemy. The two then fall towards the earth and many bullets of unelemental energy is fired as they rocket down and eventually Hecaton crashes on top of the enemy. At the end of this attack Rasche dismounts Hecaton and the summon disappears.

Both approved. Just be careful not to have Rasche end up too Vanille-esque. We're doing something different in terms of history and story yada yada.

The whole elemental strength thing means what magic do you specialise in as a Ravager more than what you specialise in defensively. :wacky:

Also? Brynhildr's female. :wacky:
 
Name: Cloudess
Age: 21
Gender: Female
Race: Human.

Appearance: Cloudess is a 6"1, 150 pound female who has pink hair and wields a very large sword. She wears a lot of make-up and bears a red cape. Her hair is very spiky and she wears a baggy blue shirt, a brown miniskirt and brown boots along with her cape. Usually her facial expression is that of anger or determination. She also wears a very small belt.

Personality: Cloudess is generally quiet. Somehow, people like to look to her as their leader. Cloudess also likes to pretend that she's things that she's not. Unfortunately she is prone to occassionally lie about herself or image things as well. However, she is still looked at as a strong warrior because she is generally consistent.

Weapons: Cloudess bears the Ultima Weapon. The Ultima was created in the War of the Magi. The Ultima is also tied closely to Cloudess' own health, so it is strong when she's strong and weak when she's wounded. The size of the sword is only a little smaller than Cloudess, but she can wield it very well and with speed despite its size and weight. The blade has also been known to change colors depending on Cloudess' health.

Primary Role: Commander.
Secondary Roles: Ravager, Medic.
Eidolon: Shiva.
Elemental Strengths: Ice, Water.

Brief History: Cloudess often got in fights with her sister until she decided to become a soldier. Cloudess wants to be strong because she wants to be like an unnamed villain which she looks up to. Whether she wants to defeat or join this villain is unknown, as is much about her. However Cloudess is also a bit lost in what she wants to do. But she does know she wants to be strong, determined, and wants an excuse to get away from her sister.

Your Eidolons also require a bio.

Name: Shive
Gender: Female

Summoning Animation: At the start of being summoned, Shiva appears in a block of ice and breaks out from it, shattering it. She then dances around gently.

Appearance: Shiva has ice-blue skin and wears a visor over her eyes. Her lips are frosty-blue. Despite all the head-gear she wears, she wears little clothing - simply a thin brown one-piece. Her hair is a deep blue color and a little beyond shoulder-length. Her fingernails are very long, and her boots are leather and intricate-looking.

Personality: (Optional. A personality is not required)

Attacks including magic:
Shiva can blow a kiss to cause damage.
She can also cast Blizzard, Blizarra, and should she have a lot of power/MP and really need to... Blizzaga.
She can also heal herself and Cloudess should she need to, but this can affect her awareness so she doesn't do it too often.

Gestalt Mode and attacks during Gestalt Mode.
Gestalt Mode: Ice-Bird.
Shiva turns into a bird of the mountains called Ice-Bird and casts Blizzaga relentlessly for a half a minute. Afterward, Ice-Bird needs time to recover and is vulnerable to any magic attacks attacks that aren't of the Ice element, should its foes still be alive. Ice-Bird can also cast counter-attack on itself, but this takes several seconds. Once counter-attack is enabled, Ice-Bird can attack back quickly at its foe whenever attacked without losing any awareness or its track in the battle, although the attack is less powerful than the one the foe had done.
