I've wanted to be part of a Final fantasy-ish RPG for a while now, here's my character.

Name: Cade Stray

Age: 23

Race: Human

Class/Job: Gunman. Subclass: Black Mage

Looks: Cade has lanky brown hair and blue eyes with an easy-going face. Cade doesn’t have any major scars or marks that are worthy of note. His body type is more akin to that of an acrobat than anything else. He’s lightly muscled, which leaves him more capable of running, jumping, and avoiding blows.

Cade keeps his clothing very simple. He’s very fond of his blue army trench coat and he wears it whenever he can. Underneath the coat he often wears a faded, green, long-sleeve shirt with gray pants and black boots. Across his chest he wears a bandolier that holds his special shots.

Skills/spells: Charge- Cade fires twice the normal amount of ammunition from his rifle to inflict more damage.
Special Shot- Using some magically charged ammunition; Cade can create some different effects with his gun.
Mixture- Cade knows a little some thing about alchemy and he uses it to make his own potions, bombs, and ammunition.
Aim- Cade’s training gives him a good chance of hitting an enemy in a weak point. While it doesn’t do much damage, it usually hobbles his enemies so he can either catch up or get away.

Weapon: Cade’s weapon is a powerful rifle that he’s nicknamed Tom. Tom is unique in the fact that with a few clicks Cade can change it’s shape and function. To keep the greatest range of versatility Tom spends most of the time in the shape of a carbine (halfway between a rifle and a pistol). When he needs to hit a long range target, Cade elongates Tom’s barrel and flips up a sighting scope. When he’s using some of his special ammunition, he pushes Tom’s barrel all the way back and loads it into a firing cylinder under the main barrel.

Gear: A backpack with a change of clothes, a few bombs, some rations, a potion, a little gold, and Cade’s spare ammunition. Currently his bandolier holds fire shot until he can get his hands on some ingredients to make some different types.

Personality: Cade is a person that enjoys the simple things in life. Good food and good friends tend to make him happy. But his simple nature hides a very technical mind. When Cade sets out to learn something he’ll keep at it doggedly.

Cade is also a person that is very concerned with doing the right thing. He doesn’t know how to explain his reasons, but if something seems underhanded or likely to cause a lot of good people harm then Cade won’t do it. Cade has no problem with killing someone, he’s had to as part of the army, but he’s very concerned with the reasons that he’d going to kill somebody.

Something that Cade does keep hidden from others is his yearning to find his family again. It’s been seven years since he’s last seen them and he’s not sure if he’d even recognize them any more. If he actually did get a lead on their location, then you can bet that Cade will be off and running to find them.

History: Cade grew up as part of a wandering circus that traveled most of the countryside. As he aged he found that he had a talent for sharp shooting and was put to work in some of the acts. It was a fine life for Cade since he loved to see and experience new things, but it couldn’t last forever. When he was sixteen, Cade was drafted into the local militia and separated from the circus that was his home.

He looked forward to the day when he could rejoin his family, but war and the things that come with it washed away most of the familiar things that Cade had grown up knowing. When he was finally allowed to leave the army he found that his circus no longer existed. It’s members had disbanded and there were no clues to the whereabouts of his own family.

With nothing else to tie him down and not wanting to wallow in self pity, Cade traveled west. Among the border towns he made a living as a gun for hire. He earned quite the reputation as a fair and honest person that cared more about doing the right thing than getting paid for his services. He even picked up a little bit of black magic while he was there. It wasn't enough for him to cast spells, but just enough to use alchemy and imbue some of his special ammunition with magical power.

But now Cade is feeling the itch to travel again. He’s staying in Junon until he can scrape the money up to travel to one of the other countries he visited while he was part of the army. To get the money he’s taken a job to protect a merchant that thinks one of his rivals might be trying to kill him.

misc.: Sorry if it’s a little vague, I did my best with the information you gave.
