Biography: There isn't much to say really. Alex was found at the doorsteps of the Besaid Orphanage when just a infant. No one knew her name or where she came from, but she was named Alexandra after a legendary summon. Though she mostly called herself Alex, finding the shorter version more pleasing to hear at least coming from others. She was always a rambunctious child, always outgoing and ready to take on any challenge. Having a temper and a blunt personality, she didn't have a lot of friends. Being the only child in the orphanage, she was always alone. During summers, she met with Gippal and Urick but that was only when they visited. Naisha was another child she played with until the girl got sickly for some time. So, in the end, Alex was a lot of times alone. Disliked by temple priests who would mutter about her. However, she loved hearing the stories of the heroes who stopped Sin. In fact, one day Yuna and Tidus came to visit the orphanage. The blonde man had shown her kindness and shared stories of his adventures, especially as a Blitzball Player. That was the day when she dreamed of becoming the best Blitzball player.

Of course, that was always difficult for anyone. So she practiced everyday to be just like Tidus. Practicing with a wooden sword and a ball. In her teen years, she had a lot of competition to get in the home team. Years in fact of trying in the try outs until she was finally accepted. Now she has become a star player, known for her aggressive tackles play on the field by defending her team.

Personality: Alex is a hot tempered woman with a sharp tongue. She is brutally honest and speaks her mind without truly thinking it through. She at times can be immature and is easily side tracked when pushed to aggression. Often careless and reckless, she finds herself in bad situations a lot times that usually end up in a brawl. Despite her aggressive nature, she has a kind heart and believes in doing the right thing, of course what she thinks is right. She has a soft heart for women and children, mostly. Usually she is able to speak her mind clearly, but when she feels flustered or embarrassed, she tends to stutter, have a mental panic attack, before avoiding the situation awkwardly. She also tends to have a very overprotective nature when she does care for someone. Be it friendship or love interest. She's brave and loyal, and despite her gruff hot tempered nature and being difficult to socialize with, she's a bit talkative and in reality is pretty lonely. Though she'd never admit it. She gets irritated when someone brings up how she has no parents, being slightly jealous others have a family while she lives without one. She has great confidence in her abilities as a warrior and a Blitzball player but finds herself being modest when she is praised a lot, unused to it. Usually has difficulties talking about herself.

Biography:

Raphael grew up in the bustling city of Luca with his mother and father. Acquiring a rather prestigious education due to being brought up in a rich household, Raphaels life seemed like it was going to be settled for greatness. He grew up to work in Luca's media industry and was employed in several jobs, whether it was an announcer for Blitzball, working in the news, or even handing out fliers, Raphael loved every day and did all he could to bring joy to everyone he met. A loving man, who would soon marry an even more loving wife, Angela Valkyria, of the Crusaders at the age of eighteen and later that year, at age nineteen, the two had a beautiful little child. Esther Valkyria.

Raphael loved his wife and daughter as they lived peacefully in Luca, how could they not? Everything was peaceful, the calm had begun its 10 year start the day they got married and survived sins destruction, thanks to Braska, everything was great, with their child being born two years after it begun. Eight years of absolute peace graced them. But when Esther turned 8 years old... Ten years after Braska's noble sacrifice... Angela was called back to the crusaders, and it was painfully obvious as to why.

Esther was confused at the fighting, Raphael begged Angela to stay, but her duties demanded she join her Crusaders to fight at Operation Mi'ihen. As you can probably tell as you're reading this, Raphaels loving tail takes an incredibly downward spiral from here on out... Raphael, having to cradle her loving daughter in her arms, screaming at the top of her lungs "I don't want mummy to die, I don't want mummy to die!" Made Raphaels heart shrink in fear... He couldn't let it happen... And so he promised Esther.

"Lets follow mummy, and make sure she's okay, yeah?". Raphael smiled, Esther stopped crying, however... it was such a dumb decision, a poor judgement which Raphael would carve into his heart every waking moment from days after now... Eventually, the two would reach the site where Operation Mi'ihen would begin, of course, non Crusaders were unwelcome, but Raphael wasn't afraid to sneak inside to find their Angela... And that's... When sin attacked in the confusion... The utter destruction of sin completely devastated both the mushroom rock road along with the entire beach. Raphael was too late, and in bringing his daughter to the chaos, caused an event to occur... that not even he could believe. Children are suppose to bury their parents... It should never be the other way around...

In the chaos of Sins power, Raphael was lucky enough to survive the carnage at the beach... Upon his awakening, his entire left arm had been entirely shredded off, the heat of the blast luckily having cauterised the wound, but his upper right side of his face had been blasted severely, with his eye completely blinded. The confusion of the scene made Raphael forget about the pain, but that wouldn't protect him from the emotional pain he would receive.

Raphael searched endlessly, scrambling at the corpses which piled on the beach, he had found his loving wife... in pieces, ripped limb from limb, her chocobo dead alongside her, barely recognisable, aside from the wedding ring which laid upon her ruined hand, and to her side, laid the corpse of a caucasian little girl, with beautiful white glistening hair and a blood stained white childrens dress... Esther...

Raphael broke, he could only scream in agony, of sheer loss, of pain, of hatred, of denial, of regret, all he could do was scream, clutch the several head of his daughter and ring finger of his wife close to his chest until some of the survivors had to desperately pull him away from his child and wife's mangled corpses... He screamed until his voice had all but gone, but still he wept, crying until not a single tear could continue to drip from his horrified face. It was then, as he wheezed in an attempt to cry, that he heard his daughters voice...

"Don't be sad daddy!"

Raphael's heart had stopped... Upon looking in the direction of the voice, he saw his daughter... They say those who don't reach the farplane, if their wills are strong enough come back as an unsent... taking on the appearance before their demise, they are obligated to stay in the world for better or for worse... Raphael did not care, unsent or fiend, he cradled his child close to him and wept cheerfully, the Al Bhed were able to completely fix up his arm, with Raphael able to lie about his daughter, keeping her secret of being an unsent a secret, however not even she knew she was an unsent, such an innocent child, kept into the mortal world because she didn't want her poor daddy being alone...

With the eternal calm occurring, Raphael would make sure she would always be safe, keeping her entertained with luxurious presents, wonderful luxury items, everything a daddy could do for her little angel. Unsent or not, nobody... was going to take her away from him, that involves killing anyone who gets suspicious, killing anyone to keep his daughter happy and making sure nobody stood in his way from making her life totally free of fear. It's been 25 years since the eternal calm, now at age 51, Raphael approached Besaid, with Esther by his side... To enjoy a wonderful day of Blitzball, not knowing of the events that would soon transpire.

Personality:

"Daddy loves you..."

Raphael is an incredibly protective individual whom only shows his loving, affectionate and merciful side around his innocent daughter. To everyone else, Raphael can be a monster, doing things which will only benefit the safety of his daughter, putting his own life in jeopardy for his daughter, putting the lives of many people to the potential chopping block if they so much as speak ill about his darling little girl. Having no qualms about murdering, stealing, torturing to keep her safe, she is the only thing in his world that matters, and he would purge the world into flames if it tried to strip her away from him, she is the only thing keeping his humanity in check, the only thing in the world keep his fragile mind together. HeR beautiful smile, her shining eyes with her mothers elegant, stunning hair... A literal angel in his eyes... And he'll kill anyone who puts her in harms way. To others who know nothing about him, he appears as a insulting, despicable, merciless, cold hearted bastard, but to those who know of his true intentions, one can't help but feel sympathetic...

Notable Parents: Nope

Name: Sifen

Age: 23

Sex: Male

Hair Color: Black

Eye color: Scarlet

Appearance:

Weapon: (all weapons built with bits of old machina)
Rifle
A small grenade launcher

Any Armor: Discarded scrap metal and bits and pieces of scrapped machina strung and welded together.

Biography: Sifen was always a creative fellow. Eccentric would describe him best, considering his past. He comes from an upper middle class family in Luca. The young Sifen was fascinated by machina and machines ever since he saw it being used when he was a kid. His parents were supportive, and showed him all the materials the engineers who built them worked with to build them every now and then. On one faithful day, Sifen brought home some scraps he had foud on the side of the road and glued them together to make something resembling a cat. He proudly showed it to his parents by leaving it on the counter, but glue can't hold metal and his parents, upon seeing the pile of glue and rusted and unsalvageable scrap metal, threw it away in front of the boy. He was so crushed about it that he, with all the problem solving skills of a nine year old, ran away.. Unlike most 9 year olds, he managed to do it.

Making his way down to the port of Luca, he jumped onto a ship and managed to hide just long enough that when he was found, turning back would be too much of a delay and he was taken to Bikanel Island. Upon arriving, he was to stay on the ship which would depart back to his home but again, being a crafty 9 year old, Sifen escaped once more and found himself hopelessly lost in the Bikanel Desert where he had no way of communicating with most of the people there. Life was not fun at first, being a homeless 9 year old who couldn't speak the language of the land he was in, and so he was unofficially exiled. From ages 9-15 he lived out of the city, meandering from oasis to oasis, rarely entering the city other than when strangers forced him to sleep at their houses and eat their food. During these stops he slowly built up a small collection of screws, gears and tools. Nothing too big, since he was effectively stealing these things, Just wrenches, nuts and bolts, gears and the like. By the time he was 13 he had built his first ever... thing. It wasn't machina, just a pair of knee pads made of metal and screws. The fun part came when the sun began heating the metal and he burned the skin on both of his knees. He since improved the design to have some fabric seperating the metal from his body and began crafting more armor for himself as he found more and more fiends walking around. He found throwing rocks to be a good way of fending the off before he could run.

During one of these encounters, his last of the kind to be exact, he was met by an Al Bhed man who preceded to throw the equivelent of 30 pebbles in just a few seconds with a machina he carried in his hand. A gun. The man took Sifen to his home and workshop. The home was covered in machina and tools of all kinds, it was all Sifen had dreamt of and there, on the wall was his first ever view of a gun in the light.

The engineer was one of the few who spoke the same languuage as he, and seeing the boys eyes light up, gave him a tour of his shop. The man's name was Cdabrah and he specialized in repair work mostlly, but he taught this foreign, emaciated, socially awkward, lost and overall fairly primitive child how to work with machines. Sifen was extremely eager to finally get to work with machina in a workshop and this eagerness was met with Cdabrah's short temper. Sifen proceeded to take apart and put together a multitude of finely made machina from around the home and put them back together with improvements that sometimes worked and sometimes didn't. This infuriated Cdabrah, but seeing the spark in Sifen's eyes, he couldn't send the boy away empty handed. He gave the boy enough money to buy some tools, and told him to never come back.

The next six years of his life were spent going from shop to shop, taking one apprenticeship after another and getting kicked out, learning to build all sorts of machina and machines, such as the ins and outs of complex engines and other systems that made machina do what they do at their very core. His favorite, however, were the guns he made. He is fluent in the Al Bhed language as well as his native tongue.

Personality: Not the most "out there" guy you'll meet, but his head is definitely in a different world. Abandoning your home at the age of nine has that effect on you. He did most of his growing up young, but he's no hardass. He enjoys a good joke every now and then, but knows that he needs to get work done to get results. He views tasks mechanically, working harder than normal people should, however not always on the right thing leading him to getting in trouble with employers and masters throughout the years. He has a bit of a skewed view of right and wrong due to his past of stealing to survive, but has a good idea of what the rest of the world thinks is right. He's come to terms with this fact as opposed to trying to adapt to everyone else's views.

Notable Parents: SECRET PARENTS
Name: Twi Pald
Age: 18
Sex: Female
Hair Color: White
Eye color: Green with spiral pupils
Appearance:
Weapons: Aer knows. You guys will find out.
Any Armor: Sexy armor?

Biography: Not much is know about or remembered by Twi due to a lot of experimenting on her own part. She knows she's from Spira, and that she's definitely Al Bhed. Her family doesn't live in Bikanel, she can speak broken spiran but prefers Al Bhed, and that she can't use magic. She's only tried once and just nothing happened. At some point in time she must have tried this before which led to her new set of talents and she must have been doing it for a while since she instinctually remembers how to make the things she does, despite having no instructions on her person. She joined up with some drifters while selling a mixture that made the user happy and hallucinate when ingested who wanted some for free in return for steady pay. These were the bounty hunters Durza and Treba. They didn't exactly take her in as much as lead her where they were already headed. She joined for the sole reason of belonging. Of course the money they made was fun too. Recently she saw a group of Guardians wandering through her neck of the woods and took notice of them. They too had belonging, and that one had similar, be it red, face paint to her own. She was determined to learn where he got it. She isn't exactly determined to rebuild her memory but maybe one day she'll find out.

Personality: Insane is an overstatement but Sane doesn't cover it either. She's a beautiful in between that keeps her interesting. Any trace of her true personality is usually washed away by various substances entering and exiting her body at nearly all times. To see her sober would be reason enough to try the lottery. Depending on what she drinks, her personality varies from mellow to overactive. She has some quirks that are always prevalent, however. She can be comfortable in any position imaginable and enjoys the company of others a little too much. She's not a believer in personal space and often invades others. She's not cynical for being dealt a bad hand for life and instead improved upon it in any way she could. Not a fan of clothes.
