• Player Interest (at least 5 players)
• Character Sheet Presentation & Character Generation (need at least 5 complete CSes)
• OOC

Also, be mindful guys, if I take hours to reply, I am in a different timezone. Also, I return to work tomorrow so I'll be doing that for 9 hrs of my day before I return. So if I get 5 interested people overnight, I'll release the CS when I get out of work.

What time period we in?

I'm assuming that this is the first AVALANCHE under Eifé? Wutai War's over, so this should be post the Genesis mass defections yeah?

Also interested. My character idea is either a Gunslinger/Sniper hybrid or a straight up Dragoon style fighter, not sure which one would fit in more. I know I'd like to call dibs on Bahamut for the Dragoon, but if I went with the first idea... I don't know, maybe Bahamut again. I don't know the FF7 summons nearly as well as the other games in the series.

@Holy Soldier

Regarding your restriction of not having more than five skills. This is stated in the materia section. Does this imply that you will only allow five pieces of materia (including/excluding support materia)? Or does this imply five separate skills outside of materia? Or does this imply five skills acquired by leveled materia i.e. if I have Bio and Transform fully leveled that is it?

5 materia slots. How you fill those slots is up to you, but you only get 5. What I check for is to see if you picked materia associated with the summon you chose. Some summons do not have a lot, but you do not have to max out the slots.

Second, regarding your weapon profile. You stated we would only have one weapon, is this one primary weapon or one weapon specifically? Would you allow a secondary weapon such as a dagger or combat knife? As you stated SOLDIERs are trained in the martial arts, would this count as a secondary weapon as well?

One weapon. Dual weapons are also considered one weapon. Utility weapons such as a knife, which can be used to cut things like rope, meat, for cooking or crafting I will allow as an "item," but it won't be considered a weapon. But no, one weapon. This is your character's primary weapon. This is a Final Fantasy 7 game not Call of Duty. Majority of the characters fought with one weapon. If you want to have a character that uses more than one weapon, then make him a basic Shinra troop. They are the closest thing to a realistic non-fantasy soldier.

When your characrer is unarmed, he can still defend himself using martial arts but his martial arts would not be better than the SOLDIER who specializes in hand-to-hand combat (that SOLDIER's prinary weapon).

Elaboration would be appreciated.

Well it appears that there is not an official Out-of=Character thread. So I am assuming you would prefer to have character sheets deposited here to see if it is even worthy of an out of character thread. Let me know what you think.

Written Description [+]

Raithen is a man of average build and average height. He wears typical attire consisting of sturdy trousers and a collared shirt covered up by a button up vest. Other accoutrements include leather boots, knee pads, a variety of straps holding a number of pouches and a simply red scarf. To cover it all is a rather hefty trench coat which aids to conceal the combat knife, the ammunition and occasionally the firearm he carries, Venom. A cigarette oftens dangles from his lips surrounded by a dark, trimmed beard. His hair is dark and thick, combed over from the side with the sides and back shaven. Beneath the layers of clothing are the effects of the Hades genome. Raithen is surrounded by the faint scent of decay, rotting flesh, and necrosis. As he ages, his body is being consumed by the rot of a daemonic undead. While currently it is hidden away by his clothing it has begun to consume his torso, the flesh deteriorating from his very bones.

Personality [+]

Raithen acts as his conscience regard for what others expect of him. He makes his own way, but he is kind and benevolent. Raithen believes in goodness and right but has little use for laws and regulations. He hates it when people try to intimidate others and tell them what to do. He often clashes with the Turks, the few times they have cross pathes. Raithen follows his own moral compass, which, although good, may not agree with that of society. He waylays the evil terrorist group for his corporate overlords, is chaotic good. Raithen is the perfect example of the combination of a good heart with a free spirit.

Background [+]

Synopsis:Born to the once prosperous Gongaga Village, Raithen was an energetic and amicable child. While he did not particularly shine as a student, the other children held him in high esteem because of his keen eye and athletic capabilities outside of the school house. He was particularly good at throwing rocks at birds as they flew nearby. A few years older than Zack Fair they were simply acquaintances, but Raithen never missed a beat when Zack left for soldier. Skip ahead a few years and the Reactor had ended up in pieces, nearly destroying the entire village and scattering the people around the world. While Raithen had already lost his Mother before the incident, both Raithen and his Father had left the village to find fortune with life in the big city. They had relocated to Junon, but it was only for a short period before Raithen had moved on to Midgar where he enlisted in SOLDIER. He achieved first class in an appropriate amount of time showing great athletic ability and a well tuned eye for defensive measures almost as if he had a second sight. Along with being exposed to high levels of mako, he was also imbued with the Hades genome. Although it had its side effects, the Genome was overall successful - proving that the Shinra Electric Power Company may have been on the right track.

Venom, Breath of Hades [+]

The firearm he carries is of a complicated alteration of weapon in research and development by the Shinra Corporation known as the Fomalhaut. While Raithen is not a blacksmith or a military genius, he does know his firearms. While the common shell is representative of a strong twelve gauge slug, with a small explosive element. Of course, knowing his firearms Raithen has also been able to fabricate his own ammunition imbuing shells with various status effects allowed to him by Hades. He is capable of creating shells that on impact explode with the power of the chosen materia (if the effects of such are not known). For example, if he creates a Transform shell the effects could be either mini or toad, or both without the ability of Raithen’s knowledge. These shells must be created before battle as they do require time and concentration to make.
