Final Fantasy VIII: Tempus Veneficarum

Many centuries ago, the world lay at the mercy of the great Sorceress Hyne, first and most powerful of all Sorceresses. For many lifetimes she ruled the world with an iron fist, extinguishing all resistance with might and magic. After countless failed revolts, the people of the world united under one banner to overthrow Hyne and in a great battle that saw the death of thousands, the great Sorceress finally fell. But her power lived on, passed down to a handful of young women, a blessing and a curse. From these few Sorceresses all others would follow and the gift of magic was passed on from generation to generation.

In the present day true magic is rare, yet anyone with the right training can wield its distaff cousin; paramagic. Born of science rather than mysticism, paramagic is used for everything from warfare to powering cars. It relies on sources of energy, sometimes electricity, fossil fuels or more esoteric sources. The world stands at a crossroads and war is on the horizon; the great Republic of Galbadia continues it's decades long expansion across the western continent, prompting its neighbours the Dollet Dukedom and Balamb to prepare for the worst.

Balamb has no security forces, no army. It's only line of defense lies with Garden, the world's premier military academy. Garden recruits its best and brightest graduates into its own elite mercenary organisation, SeeD, famous for its deadly efficiency and use of the Guardian Force in combat. The GF, part magical battery, part guardian angel, provide SeeD operatives with phenomenal combat power and longevity.

With the world on the brink of a new war and hints of a mysterious presence behind the scenes, a class of Balamb Garden students is preparing for their final test, the last hurdle to becoming a SeeD. Now is their chance to prove themselves worthy, to earn their place alongside the best warriors in the world.

-----

In a nutshell this RP takes place at the beginning of the original FFVIII game, with the characters preparing for their field test to become SeeDs. From there the story will branch out to follow the original plot very, very loosely. At times I or a co-GM may contact players by PM to facilitate certain plot points, but that's far enough into the future that we don't need to worry just yet. There are player 8 slots, including myself. Anyone above and beyond 8 will be put on a waiting list in case anyone drops.

Rules


Oh how I love writing rules...
- While debate is always encouraged, GM's word is final. I won't be using this unless I absolutely have to though.
- It goes without saying, but no godmodding or controlling other people's characters without their express permission. Common courtesy boys and girls.
- No canon characters (even NPC characters will be OC) or expy characters. Please. This RP is about seeing the story from a different perspective. We don't need a Cyther or Kwiztiz.
- Romance is expected (Final Fantasy after all) and I'm not too fussed if it's yuri, yaoi or straight. Just keep it PG-13.
- If you are going to be away fro more than three days, tell us and we can work around it IC. Similarly, if you want to withdraw TELL US, don't just leave.
- This is a Casual/High-Casual RP, but I'm not expecting walls. Two to three paragraphs is a good average, if you can post more, great. If not, don't worry. So long as the content, spelling and grammar of your posts are up to scratch, I won't complain.
- Last but not least, enjoy yourselves! Don't be afraid to do crazy things! If I don't see at least one drunken T-Rexaur fight in this RP, I shall be deeply disappointed.

Here I go... I'll finish the bolded parts soon.

Name: Julan Gartem
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Appearance:
His various tattoos hidden by his student uniform and his stark white hair by a dark blue bandanna, he look far less out there while doing his duties as a student of Balamb Garden than on his nights out in Deling City. His use of accessories and colors are muted while in garden, but his grin still prevail.

Nationality: Galbadian
Trained At: Galbadia
Weapon/Combat Style: He tends to hum to himself and sport a terribly focused look in his eyes as he fight, his use of throwing knifes precise and swift. He's not the strongest, though, and when the opponents are armored he'll switch to lightning and ice paramagic.
Limit Break: And what do they do once they've been smacked around a bit? Get creative on this one.

Personality: Is your character a nutter? Anti-social? A kleptomaniac?
Biography: A couple of paragraphs detailing their history, nothing too fancy.

Additional information:


GF: Harpy
Appearance:

Elemental Affinity: Status Ailment: Blind.
Junctions: Harpy boosts eyesight and agility, mostly.
Abilities: Mug, can transform gil into Eye Drops.

Looking good; can't wait to see it finished. As I said, don't worry about the formatting and all that; make the CS look how you want it to look. Hell, even mine is a bit different from the stock one...
By the way, Duncan is a SeeD and a bit older than the others, but that's purely for plot purposes. Once things get started, he'll just be one of the gang.

And you would be number 8, so welcome aboard. Traditional FF summons/GFs/Eidolons etc etc are acceptable as long as you don't take the piss with it; so, no Bahamut basically XD If you want a custom one, try researching mythology for inspiration.

Name: Jaime Meyers
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Appearance:
Has a tattoo on his back of his mother's name. He is muscular due to his constant training and very fast. his height is 5'11'' and he has long platinum hair. His eyes are a bluish green like his mother's. Some say his eye's look like the water at Balam beach because they are so clear like the ocean water. He wear civilian clothes mostly. He thinks the SeeD clothes are a little lame. Usually he will wear a sleeve less shirt with jeans and a hoodie with the sleeves cut off.
Nationality: Galbadian

Biography: Jamie is originally from Dollet city. His mother died when he was 13. She was attacked out of town by a T-Rexaur. She was driving to Deling city for a show when the T-rex attacked her car. She crashed into a tree and the monster tore her out of the car and killed her. His father his a rich senator in Deling city, but after the death of Jaime's mother his father couldn't bare the site of him. His father would say that Jamie had his mother's eyes. Jamie had been proud that he had something of his mother to remember her. His father sent him off to live at Galbadia Garden where Jamie trained to become a SeeD and hopefully make his mother proud. As Jamie grew older the story of how his mother die haunted him. T-Rexaurs weren't know to be in the area and why was there no other cases? He has been to where his mother died several times and investigated the area. He has never found any sign of a T-rex attack, but on his first visit he found a shard of a Galbadian solider's jacket. The closest army station was in Deling city. When he went there to investigate the trail went cold. He knew something happened that was covered up in Deling city his just couldn't figure out what. Jaime had to drop the investigation until he could have more free time after his qualifying exam. For now he will fight for the Garden, but after he graduated he would try and look further into his mother's death and find her killer.
Trained At: Galbadia
Weapon/Combat Style: Fist fighter. equips knuckles if needed.
Limit Break: Fury-Fighter. Jaime equips knuckles and goes into a rage increasing speed and strength. Uses elemental gloves.

Personality: Jaime loves ladies but is loyal to his friends. He keeps in shape and he is a great detective. He just isn't the greatest when it comes to math or science. Jaime relies a lot on his senses. While fighting he zones in on his target and lets his body react to every movement of his opponent. He is known as the best fighter at Galbadia. He has a great sense of humor and is pretty easy going (Just don't say anything about his mother). He likes to pull pranks on his friends every now and then, but when it is time to be serious he becomes a stone. When he is around ladies he can not help but drool over them. He can be very flirtatious, but he is a gentlemen and would wait on them hand and foot due to him being a mother's boy. He never talks about his father and is quite withdraw when the topic of his mother comes up. He likes to keep his past to himself. He feels it gives him strength. Due to the loss of his mother he cherishes his friends and does everything he can for them.

Additional information:

GF: Hermes

Elemental Affinity: Wind.

The other two slots are reserved for the moment, but if they don't turn up in say, two days then their spots will be available Kal.
Characters are looking great so far, just one thing. SniperWolf, I need a bit more detail in your CS, especially bio and personality; if you look at Duncan's CS, that's roughly what I want. Not too long or detailed, but a reasonable mount of detail in each section.
