Dude, we're getting the band back together!

[Hellis]

Iäve come to realize my old charachter was basicly Gladiolus before Gladdy was a thing.

That makes me happy.

[Rockette]

@Noxious - Mommy likes.

@FantasyChic - Sounds pretty solid. Looking forward to it.

@Hellis - Oh fuck. How goes it man? Low key, if we had a Gladio-esque character, I'd squeal.

[Insatiable]

Just got a new job and will be sleeping at a wickedly early time to put myself in an optimistic mood tomorrow. I already have a concept for my character and I'll have it finished soon. ;)

@Hellis

We definitely need a coupla hard, pipe-hittin' players. ;)

[Ambiguity]

Finally caught up on the intro posts! This looks really phenomenal y'all.

Might have a few questions I'll push your way soon (intentionally vague).

[FantasyChic]

I am nearly done with my sheet. I am up to Regalia. I do have a question though. How lenient are you in terms of weapon/armor tech? I imagine SOLDIER has some good funding to be able to afford nice tech, just wondering what the scope is. As I said, I am going a Sniper type that can also heal if needed.

[icmasticc]

@FantasyChic - As far as the level of tech is concerned, this is a world of advanced technology and SOLDIER would have much of this available to them. Custom weaponry and the like would be the norm amongst individual SOLDIERs, so I'd say we're pretty lenient on what you can create and how creative you can be. Unless it's glaringly overpowered or overly outlandish, I doubt we'll have a problem with it.

[The Survivor]

@RocketteHi, I'm interested but I'm a little unclear on some things. What exactly are Aeons? Why is there a war throughout all of Viera? Do SOLDIERS have any physical scarring/deformities as a result of their combination with Aeons?

[icmasticc]

@The Survivor - Aeons are the entities that fell from the sky, basically. I'm not sure if we're revealing full details about them at this time so I'll hold off for Rockette on that one.

The war started because monsters appeared alongside the falling of Aeons. These creatures don't care who they attack, they just attack and normal conventions of dealing with threats didn't suffice for these types of beasts, thus SOLDIER. There's also little political battles and others things concerning advanced technology and things we haven't touched on quite yet.

It's not specifically stated, but considering the Aeons are bonding to the DNA of SOLDIERS through splicing genetic material, I'm not sure that would cause any outer scarring. I'll let Rockette hit that one too.

[Rockette]

On my way home from work, I'll answer questions when I get there and dig into this food because wings are life.

Stay tuned.

[icmasticc]

My character is now up under the tab as well. The background is still a work-in-progress because this new work schedule is not my friend, but I figured since that's the only part that's not all the way finished, I can still put up the character for reference and what not.

EDIT - Oh, not sure if this was mentioned or not by @Rockette, but go ahead and submit your character concepts in the thread here, not under the tab. No one goes under the tab until they're fully approved. Thanks.

[FantasyChic]

Do we put our sheets for review in here or in a PM? I am ready :)

*Edit: You edited your post to make me look foolish!

[icmasticc]

@FantasyChic - Lol, I just made an edit about that too haha. Yeah, go ahead and submit here in this thread. Once approved, you can post it in the tab.

London Chase

_{A P P E A R A N C E.}

London has been called many things in her lifetime and has often been told that she is like the waters, beautiful to look at but dangerous, callous, and unforgiving underneath it all. She never disputes this metaphor. With a light skin complexion, harsh silver eyes, and long, light blonde hair, she often leaves an impression on everyone she meets. However, upon closer inspection, one could see the effects the Aeon binding has had on the young woman. Her silver eyes are freckled with dark blue specks. Her torso and back have been scarred the shades of gray and blue. Her ears have been shaped and appear more pointed and angular. Though she doesn't broadcast these changes, she does not hide them.

Her expression rarely changes. To others, she seems emotionless and unfeeling. She often wears clothing suitable to her situation. Adapt and thrive, after all. She chooses clothing that accentuates her figure, but provides comfort. She enjoys wearing sweaters, camisoles, and light jackets with tights or jeans, often accompanied with boots and heels in various lengths. She accessorizes with scarves, necklaces, and never leaves home without her trusty sunglasses.

_{P S Y C H E.}

London doesn't listen to the rumors spread about her and how she got to where she is. She is often seen as unfeeling and rude due to her expressionless demeanor. She doesn't broadcast her feelings openly. She shares her opinions only when asked or feels she needs to say something.

Despite this, she does have feelings and emotions. She is able to adapt to many situations if they require a delicate touch or an in your face method. If she were to smile, it would be for something truly happy. If she got mad, it would be for something truly bad. If she were sad, it would be for something truly upsetting. She doesn't share a love for politics, believing they often look out for themselves rather than others and she often doesn't respond to authority figures with respect unless they have proven themselves deserving of it. She doesn't share the same values of any particular religion, believing we are more or less responsible for ourselves. No one person is more important than another and those that believe that someone is is foolish.

She doesn't enjoy the Aeons power, but has come to rely on it as a means to an end. A tool to be used to help and progress. Adapt and thrive. She repents the Prototypes of the past and the damage they have caused and hopes to further the advancement of the current technology. She believes that those SOLDIERs that rely too heavily on the Aeon are hell bent on destruction.

She cares deeply about others, especially when part of a team she has come to know. She isn't trusting at first, but once a bond is formed, she is a powerful ally and friend and someone you would want watching your back.

_{B A C K G R O U N D.}

Adapt and Thrive

These words echoed through London's mind constantly as she trained. Brought up to be the next SOLDIER, her adoptive parents ensured she had the education, the skills, and the means necessary to enlist and become a SOLDIER, something they've wanted but could never obtain. They drove their ideals into the young mind of their daughter. Adapt and thrive. Never show your true feelings. That is what would make her the best. So she was trained and worked. Hard. Daily. She never hated her parents, if that is what she would call them. She had no other reference to base her experience off of.

Her real parents were unknown. Were they alive? Were they dead? She had never been told. All she knew was she was a young baby when her parents dissapeared and she was put up for adoption. Her adoptive parents, both high ranking officials in the government wanted a child that fit their particular mold. Nothing more than an accent piece they could brag about to others when she eventually was admitted into SOLDIER. Her genes must have attracted her to Davis and Carol Chase, who handpicked her out of the other children to be bred into a soldier. A fighter. A tool to be used. That is what London now believes. There is no love lost to her adoptive parents and their petty ideals.

She was handpicked to become a SOLDIER. Her intelligence and skills spoke for themselves. She had amazing hand-eye coordination, a steady gaze, and was able to control herself when in tense situations. During the training, she met many other hopefuls for the SOLDIER program. It was there she learned about the other reasons for becoming a SOLDIER. Many others dreamed of this. Wanted to do good for the world. Others just wanted the recognition and the power. Many sleepless nights led London to believe she wasn't here for the right reasons so she opted to leave. It was a high-ranking official named Sereena who sat her down and explained her reasons for picking her. She wasn't chosen because of her parents. She wasn't chosen because of her skills. She was chosen because she displayed the qualifications needed to not only withstand, but use the power given by the Aeons. She would be useful and could prove everyone wrong.

London went on to continue her training and eventually passed and survived being bound with her Aeon. She joined the ranks of the SOLDIERs and aimed to be a useful addition to the team. Recognition isn't something she wants. She doesn't desire the power or the prestige. She wants to be useful. She wants to help.

Adapt and Thrive.

London prefers to be far from the fray; it's where she is the most useful. With her steady hand and great coordination, it's only natural that London is the resident sniper. As such, she has the latest Sniper Rifle: the SL-Aqua, customized just for her. The Sniper rifle is able to scope large distances away and be easily carried. It is made out of an alloy that allows for a sleek appearance and can be broken down for transportation. The bullets are customized tranqs that can be changed with a flick of a switch. In one instance, she can take out enemies with harmful toxins that weaken and kill, but, with a switch, it can administer healthy fluids into allies that buff and heal. If in immediate danger, London has a knife with her and is trained in hand-to-hand combat.

For armor, London prefers light armor for easy movement. Her armor is silver and dark blue and protects against environmental hazards. She is able to glide around the battlefield and endure harsh terrain.

London has made it clear that her Aeon is of use to her and a handy asset to have, but that it doesn't hold power over her. Though it has made no attempt (yet) to take control, she is prepared for the day it tries. Her powers derive from protection of herself and her allies as well as being able to fend off her enemies if they try to get too close.

_{Glacier[intellect, order, justice]Spawning from her arms, legs, and back, London is imbued with ice shards that protect her against damage. She is able to fling the ice shrapnels at quick speeds and is able to slide around on an ice path when in this form.}

_{Arma[protection, peace, progressive]London is able to summon a shield to surround her or her allies and absorb damage. The shield is made of a see-though material that looks similar to water. The damage absorbed is processed into whoever it is shielding and their next attack forces the damage back against their foes.}

_{Fugam[manipulitive, inventive, law]London is able to summon a birhgt light to envelop her and allow her to transport herself around the battlefield. The light forms what appears to be angel wings that grant her the power of flight for the brief time she uses her power. She can escape from danger or fly to an ally to help defend.}

Angelius appears as a man on the offset, but do not be fooled by his appearance, he is a powerful Aeon capable of moving the waters and the light at his will. He has long, flowinf, dark hair that flows like water along his back. His pure, white angel wings are long and are able to cover his body. His eyes are pure white and his lower half is as transparent as water. He glides along as if swimming, but appears as if he is flying. Though angelic in appearance, he is a force to be reckoned with when cornered and can unleash a torrent of power when pushed. He believes in justice and order, but beleives he knows how to deal said justice.

Not to be trifled with, when at the limit, Angelius imbues London with a harsh, blue light that transforms the woman into an aquatic being. She appears to be made fully of water. In this form, London moves gracefully and can withstand damage due to her aquatic body. She can summon torrents and waves of water to thrash her foes and can summon pools to soothe allies.

[icmasticc]

@FantasyChic - Alright, I'll be first up. This is a nicely done sheet. A character who can not only heal, but buff is a good addition and honestly someone needs to play the support role. I don't see any glaring issues so it's all good on my end.

Once Rockette gets on, she'll run through and give you the final approval. Good job though, I expect she'll like it too.

[Rockette]

@The Survivor - This is an excellent series of questions, and I'm glad you asked them.
Aeons - in truth - we don't really know what they are. However, the best way to describe them is of extraterrestrial creatures that fell from the sky, upon meteors, that impacted the world. Many people assumed them as one, aliens, and two, fallen gods. Depending on the course of belief one chooses. The exact origins of them is a detail we are not revealing at this time. But, for character creation, all the experiments they've done was to try and find out what they are, and so far they've only concluded to just use their power for their own good.

The war is a result from conflicting political beliefs and the revoking of Aeon cells that were used in pharmaceutical campaigns that benefited the public. Their cells were found with unique adaptive qualities that could repair cellular damage, also evident in their own regeneration through the years they explored and experimented. But they suddenly stopped them, for what reasons? It's unknown to the public. The monsters mentioned only appeared just recently, that sort of set the tides of war to overflow into the present state of things.

Yes, characters bear scars and slight deformities, dependent to the state of the bond they have with the Aeon. Some are slight, like pointed teeth, fluctuating eyes, colours within skin tone and hair, and perhaps texture to their outer extremities. And of course, scarring. Whilst the characters maintain human appearances, there will be slight things that make them not so much human either.

Hope this helps!

@FantasyChic - I'm impressed with this characters when compared to previous ones I've seen from you, she's your best yet. The effort shows, and I'm happy to see it and the sheet is wonderfully put together. Excellent use of colour and order. Now there's only one thing, her induction into SOLDIER. The programme is considered a secret, and only privy to maybe those of rich background or were inducted into the military before hand, and thus selected or volunteered. So, for her background to be plausible, I'd like to see some inclusion to her adoptive parents' involvement within in the government or were apart of the wealth and heavily money endowed families that are integrated with the govern and military. This would help tie in her training to become apart of SOLDIER from the beginning.

Other than that, she's accepted.

[FantasyChic]

@Rockette ah yeah, I kind of insinuated they were part of the government without outright saying so. I will edit.
