[CHAR] FF7: SOLDIER [Big Game - Always Accepting!]

SOLDIER classes: [SOLDIER 1st Class] [SOLDIER 2nd Class] [SOLDIER 3rd Class]

Crest of the Lion It is the crest of the SOLDIER 1st Class that distinguishes them from others. The Crest of the Lion (or Lion Crest) represents Strength and Courage. The 1st Class SOLDIERs are responsible for the most important and dangerous missions. 1st Class SOLDIERs are given special privileges, such as the use of personal items, clothing, and equipment, as well as the right to deny orders assuming any responsibilities from their decisions.

Eagle Wings The 2nd Class SOLDIERs have soared above their former 3rd Class rank. The Eagle Wings represent Resilience and Perseverance. The 2nd Class SOLDIERs are the best among their 3rd Class counterparts and only those distinguished enough ever rise to 1st Class. 2nd Class SOLDIERs are leaders in charge of squads of 3rd Class SOLDIERs and Shinra Troops.

The Sun Crest The crest of the 3rd Class SOLDIER. The Sun Crest represents Passion and Beginning. 3rd Class SOLDIERs are at the beginning of their potential. 3rd Class SOLDIERs perform duties that support the Shinra Troops and their 2nd Class leadership.

SOLDIER is the elite fighting force of the Shinra Electric Power Company. Its members are advanced super soldiers with superhuman strength, speed, and ability. They are much stronger than the Shinra Peacekeeping Troops and the Turks recognized by the glow of Mako in their eyes. Shinra uses SOLDIER for special missions that require the greatest use of force. SOLDIERs in and of themselves are Shinra industrial secrets, and to prevent information from leaking outside the company walls, it is difficult for SOLDIERs to retire. Even if they are allowed to quit, the company would monitor their subsequent actions. Even if they believe they have evaded surveillance, Shinra will follow them for the remainder of their lives, and if the situation calls for it, have them terminated.

Children around the planet dream of joining SOLDIER and becoming 1st Class like several of the 1st Class SOLDIERs already known. To further increase the organization’s popularity, and as a propaganda tool, Shinra has created fan clubs for many of the 1st Class SOLDIERs.

Character Sheet Details & Explanation

The Crest will go here. I don’t have Photoshop, so if you are a person gifted with graphic design and you like this game, then feel free to make the group better crests. Until then though, the crests posted above will do. You will post the crest above your character’s profile to designate the rank you wish to have. If you choose 1st Class, then know that 1st Class SOLDIERs have the most fashion freedom. No other SOLDIERs do. They wear the standard uniform. If you choose to play a 2nd Class SOLDIER, then if anyone ever plays 3rd Class SOLDIERs, then your character will be in charge of them. Your character will be their leader and superior. Those who wish to play 3rd Class SOLDIERs enjoy character development. I look forward to seeing your character’s growth throughout the game.

Character Image goes here. Please avoid using artwork from reputable anime. I do not want to see Ichigo from Bleach in this game, a ninja from Naruto, or a pirate from One Piece. Look for Digital or Original art only if you can. You do not need to have a picture. Regardless, your writing will determine what the writer sees.

Name

This is where you will write your character’s name. You can use some fan-surnames such as “Highwind, Fair, Strife, etc.” or even surnames from other Final Fantasy games “Leonheart, Tribal, Cole, etc.” but remember that you are role playing an original creation. I would like for everyone to use a little bit of game culture such as a lot of the characters from Wutai were the ones who commonly had Asian names. You can use 1001fonts.com if you want to use fancy headers for your character’s name. Feel free to jazz-up your profile however you like with character quotes, poetry, youtube videos, etc.

Age

No children or grandparents please 18-40 y/o.

Date of Birth

Refer to the Game Timeline to plan a date.

Gender

Male or Female.

Height

There’s a trend where a lot of people like to make six-foot-ridiculous characters. I do not want giants in this game unless you PM me and tell me that being a giant has significance to the character’s concept. I am putting the height floor at 5’0” and height ceiling at 6’5”.

Weight

Self-explanatory.

Hair Color

The hair can be any color of the rainbow with crazy highlights. It can be long, short, buzzed, faddish, etc. Pigtails, ponytails, dreadlocks, etc. You can freely describe the hair colors and hair style in this section if you want.

I skipped Eye Color because all SOLDIERs have Mako blue-green eyes.

Written Description

This is the overall description of your character from hair, build, skin complexion, tattoos, scars, clothing and accessories. You do not have to detail your character’s weapons. You will be able to do that below. Because your character has been imbued with the DNA of summons, they may show similarities in physical characteristics such as having a Moogle ball above their head if they were imbued with Mog or scales along their skin if imbued with Leviathan. These aren’t extreme characteristics. You're not making an anthropomorph.

Personality

As you write a general explanation of your character’s personality, mention 3 things they like, which can be like their favorite things: cats, apples, fishing, etc. Also mention 3 things they dislike. If they have any silly habits such as nail-biting, leg-shaking, knuckle-cracking, etc. You can mention those to if you want. I’m just offering ideas. Also, if they're a 1st Class SOLDIER what do they think of their fan club? If they're a 2nd Class SOLDIER, how is their relationship with their troops? If they're a 3rd Class SOLDIER what are their goals for personal growth?

Background

Some of you will probably go into depth in this section. Some of you may not. Before beginning this section, consider discussing prior relations with other writers who are also interested in this game. Maybe your character and another writer’s character were in the same village? Maybe you both decided to join SOLDIER together and have been rivals all this time? I will open a discord chatroom to make discussing these things easier for everyone. You do not have to have relations, but it does build story between characters. The main topics to answer here are: Why did your character join SOLDIER? How did your character reach the rank he or she is now? Does your character have an alias that other SOLDIERs know him or her as? Is your character loyal to Shinra or is their loyalty beginning to wane?

Summon Genome

The DNA of what summon was imbued in your character? You just state the summon's name here. You don't have to pick a summon solely from Final Fantasy 7. You can use any summon as long as it has a clear-cut spell or skill list.

Weapon

I don’t want every SOLDIER wielding the same exact weapon. Understand that there are different types of weapons at different sizes and lengths often defined using the words “great, long, or short.” You can only have ONE weapon unless it is a dual weapon. The weapon doesn't even have to be a traditional weapon. Your character could wield a fan, yo-yo, club, bat, shovel, etc. But ONE weapon. Choose wisely. SOLDIERs are capable of martial arts as Zack demonstrated in the Crisis Core anime movie. Hand-to-hand fighting can be claimed as a sole weapon. In this section if your weapon has a name, then state it. Describe the weapon. How long is it? How heavy is it? How many materia slots does it have (this is in relation to how many materia skills your character has)? How many rounds does it hold max? How fast does it fire those rounds? How many magazines does your character normally carry as spare? Are there any distinct designs on the weapon? Again, I’m giving you food for thought.

Materia

The materia you list here is related to the summon you chose. For all characters who have chosen a summon with “Instant Death,” Instant Death will not work on Mini Boss or Boss enemies. They can work on minions since many minions will be cannon fodder, but you cannot one-shot a boss. Sorry. Reference a Final Fantasy wikia to get some ideas for the materia and spells the summon uses. You should not have more than 5 skills here.

Limit Break

The limit break is a powerful combat move and usually the character's most damaging move. While in the game, there are many different ways to activate a limit break, in this RP there are two: 1) your character takes 10 consecutive damaging hits from an enemy or another player (yes, another player can help your character limit break but it's dangerous), and 2) if a mini boss or boss nearly kills your character, they get a "second wind" which is his or her limit break. Give your limit break a name. It doesn't have to be themed around your SOLDIER's summon genome. It is just a signature attack or move. Describe how the attack or move is performed. Does it attack a single target? Does it attack multiple targets and if so, how many? Is it a support ability that aids the party? Describe it.

---

The Turks act similarly to an intelligence agency or investigative bureau, engaging in reconnaissance and espionage, or even black ops, including kidnappings and assassinations, on behalf of the corporation. They are consummate professionals, adhering to the mission no matter what. Due to the nature of their job, members are privy to numerous company secrets, and as such, become security risks should they resign.

They are well-known for wearing business suits even when immersed in bloody combat. Unlike the Shinra military, Turks wield various weapons—ranging from katana to fire arms to shuriken to martial arts—each operative specializing in one type of combat, and being capable of augmenting their weapon up to 3 materia slots. Like all character roles in this game, they too have limit breaks.

Currently, the leader of the Turks, the Head of the Investigative Division and General Affairs is an open role that can be claimed by a writer. If a writer does claim this role for him or herself, then I would want there to be an alternate in case the writer disappears.

Turk Character Sheet Details & Explanation

Name

You can use 1001fonts.com to get fancy headers like the ones you see me use in designing this game. You can use them to jazz up your character's profile. Turks can have a full name or they can be named after their weapon of choice such as "Knife" or "Nunchaku." It sounds silly but these were actual names in the game.

Age

No children or grandparents please 18-40 y/o.

Date of Birth

Refer to the Game Timeline to plan a date.

Gender

Male or Female.

Height

There’s a trend where a lot of people like to make six-foot-ridiculous characters. I do not want giants in this game unless you PM me and tell me that being a giant has significance to the character’s concept. I am putting the height floor at 5’0” and height ceiling at 6’5”.

Weight

Self-explanatory.

Hair Color

The hair can be any color of the rainbow with crazy highlights. It can be long, short, buzzed, faddish, etc. Pigtails, ponytails, dreadlocks, etc. You can freely describe the hair colors and hair style in this section if you want.

Eye Color

These are natural colors unless your character wears contacts. If they wear glasses, mention them here as well.

Written Description

This is the overall description of your character from hair, build, skin complexion, tattoos, scars, clothing and accessories. You do not have to detail your character’s weapons. You will be able to do that below. As a Turk, when on duty you have the usual unisex business suit. The colors are always dark colors from navy-blue to black. If you're role playing a female, you can choose the character having heels instead of dress shoes but all Turks where dress pants.

Personality

As you write a general explanation of your character’s personality, mention 3 things they like, which can be like their favorite things: cats, apples, fishing, etc. Also mention 3 things they dislike. If they have any silly habits such as nail-biting, leg-shaking, knuckle-cracking, etc. You can mention those to if you want. I’m just offering ideas. If they aren't the Head of the Turk Department, let us know what your character thinks about the department head. This is optional if we don't have a head for the department.

Background

Some of you will probably go into depth in this section. Some of you may not. Before beginning this section, consider discussing prior relations with other writers who are also interested in this game. Maybe your character and another writer’s character were in the same village? Why did your character choose to become a Turk? Did they also qualify for the SOLDIER program and just decided against it? Just offering some ideas.

Weapon

What is your Turk's primary weapon? I don't count the weapons already taken by SOLDIER members. The Turks are treated separately. However, I don't want every Turk wielding the same weapon as another Turk. nderstand that there are different types of weapons at different sizes and lengths often defined using the words “great, long, or short.” You can only have ONE weapon unless it is a dual weapon. The weapon doesn't even have to be a traditional weapon. Your character could wield a fan, yo-yo, club, bat, shovel, etc. But ONE weapon. Choose wisely. A Turk's weapon can hold up to three materia.

Materia

You can place whatever materia you want here. You only get three to include their maxed out forms such as Bolt, Bolt 2, Bolt 3. These would still be considered 1 materia "Bolt." Again, you get 3 slots.

Limit Break

The limit break is a powerful combat move and usually the character's most damaging move. While in the game, there are many different ways to activate a limit break, in this RP there are two: 1) your character takes 10 consecutive damaging hits from an enemy or another player (yes, another player can help your character limit break but it's dangerous), and 2) if a mini boss or boss nearly kills your character, they get a "second wind" which is his or her limit break. Give your limit break a name. Describe how the attack or move is performed. Does it attack a single target? Does it attack multiple targets and if so, how many? Is it a support ability that aids the party? Describe it.

The Security Department is in charge of the non-Mako-infused troops - The Shinra Troops. They make up majority of Shinra's military force, and are deployed more often than SOLDIER. This department has a rivalry with SOLDIER and extends challenges in the form of training sessions. The Security Department is a fallback for SOLDIERs deemed unfit to undergo Mako infusion. Within this department exists The Roboguard who was remote piloted as well as manually piloted by operators from the inside.

Rank System

The FF7 verse labels Shinra Troops as they would minions; therefore, the troops don't have a legit rank system. For this game, if the Shinra Troop are infantrymen, then use standard U.S. Army ranks. We're not going to go specifically into rank details. It'll be simple, Private and Sergeant. Their superior is the SOLDIER 2nd Class. If they are a Roboguard Operator it'll be Guardsman and Elite Guardsman. If we need to go into Navy or Air Force terms, then we'll worry about that if it ever comes up.

Hair Color

Natural hair colors. Shinra Troops don't get much freedom to dye and style their hair in fancy ways.

Eye Color

These are natural colors unless your character wears contacts. If they wear glasses, mention them here as well.

Rank

Infantry: Private or Sergeant; Roboguard: Guardsman or Elite Guardsman.

Written Description

Shinra Troop are pretty military. They wear the standard Shinra Troop uniform with a helmet and scarf.
When off-duty, yes, they can wear normal clothes.

Personality

As you write a general explanation of your character’s personality, mention 3 things they like, which can be like their favorite things: cats, apples, fishing, etc. Also mention 3 things they dislike. If they have any silly habits such as nail-biting, leg-shaking, knuckle-cracking, etc. I’m just offering ideas.What are your character's goals?

Background

Some of you will probably go into depth in this section. Some of you may not. Before beginning this section, consider discussing prior relations with other writers who are also interested in this game. Maybe your character and another writer’s character were in the same village? Why did your character choose to become a Shinra Trooper? Did they qualify for the SOLDIER program and just decided against it? Just offering some ideas.

Weapons

Shinra Troops can have as many weapons on their person as deemed logical by Rule of Cool. These are standard military weapons. This is a fantasy game. Make them up.

Mecha

This is an optional category. If your character is not apart of the Roboguard, then ignore this section. Just delete it and don't even include it in your profile. However, if your character is a Roboguardsman, then you need to detail your robot here. I'm expecting some pseudoscience made up shit. What weapons does it have? How tall is it? Is it quadrupedal or bipedal? What are all of its functions? Does it fly? Does it climb? Is it fast? You should be able to answer all of these questions. You can finally give your Mecha a name.

Materia

The materia for the Shinra Troop is pretty locked tight. The materia will be Seal, Bio, and Time for all Shinra Troops.

Limit Break

The limit break is a powerful combat move and usually the character's most damaging move. While in the game, there are many different ways to activate a limit break, in this RP there are two: 1) your character takes 10 hits from an enemy or another player (yes, another player can help your character limit break but it's dangerous), and 2) if a mini boss or boss nearly kills your character, they get a "second wind" which is his or her limit break. Give your limit break a name. Describe how the attack or move is performed. Does it attack a single target? Does it attack multiple targets and if so, how many? Is it a support ability that aids the party? Describe it.

SOLDIER, 1st Class

Name

Alain Stratos

Age

26

Date of Birth

June 13, εγλ 1975

Gender

Male

Height

6'0''

Weight

202 lbs

Hair Color

Silver/White

Written Description

Alain stands at an average height of six-foot-zero, but weighs just over two hundred pounds to give him a slightly above average build necessary for a SOLDIER who attacks in melee range. Even at 1st Class, Alain chose to keep his standard SOLDIER uniform, a dark sleeveless shirt with metallic shoulder-guards to protect the upper arms and standard fatigue pants and combat boots for the lower half of his body. The only bit of personalization is a sky-blue muffler scarf Alain wears around his neck. He has sharp, glaring eyes and silvery-white hair he keeps cut short and combed straight back to maintain a militaristic discipline in his appearance.

As a result of his genome, parts of Alain's skin are covered in scales of either bronze or dark blue. The scales cover his back mostly, but can also be seen on his arms as well, doubly so due to his forearms remaining bare due to his SOLDIER uniform. While he probably won't be sunbathing in Costa del Sol anytime soon, on the bright side the scales add a layer of protection especially on his back and shoulders.

Personality

If you could boil Alain down to a single word, it would be "driven". Alain's dogged determination knows no limits. It doesn't matter how many times he is knocked down, shot at, or thrown around. If there's any breath left in his body, he will get back on his feet to continue the fight, even if it means forcing himself to continue. This can be admirable most of the time, but there are those rare times where this proves to be more of a detriment, where his determination instead devolves into stubbornness. Alain isn't an overly social sort, preferring to speak through actions instead of words. He isn't completely anti-social, but he can be awkward in crowds and especially at parties or other specifically social events. His home is clearly on the battlefield, that much is certain. Along with his determination is a certain level of pride. He wears the name and emblem of his former unit proudly, almost thinking himself as one of them first and a SOLDIER second.

Background

Originally from the ill-fated Banora Village, Alain Stratos was conscripted by Shinra at age 17 at the start of the Wutai War. The training was hard, and the battles were harder. Non-SOLDIER troops were no more than cannon fodder to most SOLDIERs and Shinra higher ups. Perhaps it was luck, then, that Alain found himself in the vanguard unit nicknamed the Dragoon Team; named for the spear-wielding 2nd Class SOLDIER who commanded them: Abel Beoulve. A demoted 1st Class SOLDIER, Abel's tactical ability allowed the Dragoon Team to stand out a bit more than the average Shinra Unit. As a vanguard unit, Dragoon Team was deployed for the purpose establishing Shinra footholds in Wutai-held territories, and were ultimately the ones who allowed for the trenches and encampments to be built up in the first place. They were under fire and ambush on a regular basis, but between the Unit's teamwork and Abel's leadership, saw the least amount of casualties than any other Vanguard Unit during the first several years of the war.

Then the order came from high up the chain for Dragoon Team to launch an assault on Wutai itself. A normal enough mission on the surface, things went south when a group of ninjas from Wutai revealed they obtained a Summon Materia. This one in particular was an Earth-elemental monster called Titan. Dragoon Team did manage a victory, but Titan inflicted heavy losses on the team. When the dust settled, Dragoon Team was almost completely wiped out, Abel included. Still, Shinra won the war in the end, and the few survivors of Dragoon Team were honored for their valor. As for Alain himself, he had developed a bond with Abel during those two years. The SOLDIER was like friend, mentor, and brother all rolled up into one. Abel's death was particularly hard for Alain to accept, but he was given Abel's spear and signature scarf as mementos of the fallen SOLDIER. Instead of returning home, Alain tried out for the SOLDIER Program and made it in, effectively following in Abel's footsteps.

Despite the war itself being over, Shinra still faced stiff resistance in the form of an emerging Eco-Terrorist group calling itself AVALANCHE. Alain's time as a 3rd and later 2nd Class SOLDIER was spent rooting out members of AVALANCHE and eliminating them. One deployment sent him and a newly reformed Dragoon Team to Alain's hometown of Banora Village. Supposedly there had been reports of AVALANCHE activity and Dragoon Team was to investigate it. An AVALANCHE plot was indeed discovered, but too late to save the Mako Reactor before it was blown up. The Reactor's destruction took Banora Village with it, Alain only managing to survive thanks to his SOLDIER augmentations. Alain became less sociable after that. He was briefly demoted back to 3rd Class for the failure at Banora Village but the demotion didn't last long. Alain fought harder than ever before, becoming more and more stubborn in his dedication to the job and to the elimination of AVALANCHE. This newfound tenacity helped propel him to 1st Class within SOLDIER.

Limit Break ~ Infinite Jump

Alain commonly makes use of what is known as the Jump Attack Technique, made famous by Abel Beoulve during the Wutai War. It involves either jumping as high as possible from the ground or from an elevated vantage point and allowing gravity to add extra power to the Dragoon's spear as they hit the ground. The Infinite Jump is an evolution of the technique, made possible by Alain's Summonn Genome, Bahamut. When sufficiently battered or angered, Alain can temporarily grow a pair of leathery dragon wings on his back. They are only temporary, but while they are present Alain can use them to leap much higher in the air and keep himself aloft for extended periods of time. During this time, he can come back down for an attack only to quickly launch himself back into the air again. This act of using the Jump Attack so quickly in succession is what earned it the nickname Infinite Jump. The wings wear off after a maximum of seven Jump Attacks.

[Karl Kadaver]

Lapin Delacroix

SOLDIER Class: 2nd “Eagle Wings”



Name
Lapin Delacroix
(of House Delacroix)

Age
20

Date of Birth
April 8, εγλ 1981

Gender
Female

Height
5’3”

Weight
122lbs

Hair Color
Black

Written Description
Lapin, despite almost always being clad in the uniform of a 2nd Class SOLDIER and being rather short, always carries herself with an air of poise and dignity. Since her hair is naturally long, when she’s on duty, she keeps it up in a bun, except for the parts of her hair that mutated due to the Summon Fusion experiment.

As a result of being bonded with Carbuncle, she has a diamond-shaped, red gem in her forehead, as well as a pair of long, ear-shaped extensions in her hair, which start just above her natural ears and hang down to just below her shoulders.

Personality
Lapin conducts herself as she believes a lady should conduct herself: she speaks articulately, she’s rarely rude or crass, and she tries to be friendly to everyone even if it’s only because she feels obligated to do so. She’s quick to speak her mind if she believes that it can benefit the group, and this can at times put her at odds with her subordinates, who probably don’t have the education and refinement that she does. Her role as a 2nd Class SOLDIER dictates, at least to her, that she should not get especially close to any of her subordinates, so she can come across as aloof and at times withdrawn. She is ever ready to please her superiors as she has a reputation to maintain as a Delacroix.

In her downtime, she enjoys reading history books or sharing her knowledge with her more inquisitive comrades. She also likes to play games that require tactical thinking, such as King’s Field, or chess, and even though she may not win every game, she enjoys the challenge. Also, she recently discovered that she likes dogs, as she’s never had any pets growing up but sees them quite frequently on her travels. She thinks their little, dark eyes and noses are simply adorable!

She doesn’t anger easily, at least not visibly, but the easiest way to get a rise out of her is to compare her to a rabbit. She’s well aware of what her name means in another language, but her name is not Rabbit, it is Lapin. She’s generally annoyed by her mutation which lets people draw even more similarities between her and Leporidae but she tries not to let it bug her too much. Using that as a jumping off point, Lapin is also annoyed by people who are rude for rudeness’ sake, and if that person happens to be a subordinate, she will certainly call them out on it. As a representative of SOLDIER and the Shinra Corporation, as well as being a Delacroix, she believes that she has to maintain a standard of behavior.

Background
In times long ago, it is told that if a person or persons were in need of protection, they could send a prayer on the wings of a bird and before too long, The Delacroix would appear to defend them from whatever troubles would beset them.

This is the glamorous part of the legend, and the part that Lapin prefers to cite when asked about her heritage. In reality, the Delacroix were a band of mercenaries of various ethnic backgrounds who offered their protection services for the right price. They were known for using only shields as their primary weapons.

Fast forward to a couple of generations ago, when Shinra Electric Power Company had only recently discovered Mako energy. The Delacroix by this time had become the private security firm “Delacroix Security Solutions”, and had made quite a name for themselves as one of the top security firms in the world. Seeing an opportunity to build a powerful business relationship, Delacroix approached Shinra and offered its services; Shinra, at this time, could not possibly have enough resources to protect all of its assets: the Mako mines, their fledgling reactors, and all of its other business holdings. Delacroix were hired, and Shinra began to prosper. Shortly after Midgar was completed, Shinra was able to buy out Delacroix and assimilate them into their own security forces, setting the Delacroix family for life.

Lapin is the only child of Konejo and Usagi Delacroix, and because of this, her parents were able to devote all of their time (read, their servants’ time) to her care, education, and upbringing.

She knew nothing but only the finest luxuries growing up, but was also aware of the strife and hardships that occurred under her feet in the slums of Midgar, and she was sympathetic, though she never actually ventured anywhere near the slums and always more or less assumed that Shinra Inc always had their best interests in mind.

Having grown up with the finest education Midgar had to offer, and with such a rich family history herself, in her downtime, she dove into educating herself in the ways of the Delcroix fighting style (mostly as a hobby, but also as a way to carry on her family’s legacy of protecting the downtrodden since there was now no business for her to inherit). She became quite adept with the fighting style and, when she turned 18, applied directly for the SOLDIER program, based on nothing more than her own skill, pedigree, and desire to make Midgar (and by her reasoning, the world) a better place.

Hair Color

Written Description
Landon, having spent many of his formative years mining coal, is quite lean and muscular. His body is covered in faint scars and burn marks, some from normal wear and tear from working in the mines of Corel and building the Mt Corel reactor, but some of his more recent scars are from the destruction of said reactor. His most notable physical feature is his prosthetic right arm, which appears as a molded metal arm, complete with a five-fingered, jointed hand. Dark scarring can be seen on his upper arm where the prosthesis connects to his body. The arm is myoelectric/infused with Mako, giving it the ability to function like a normal arm, minus fine motor skills. He can hold objects in his hand without fear of dropping or crushing them, but cannot deftly manipulate them, like say writing with a pen or typing on a keyboard. He has no feeling in his prosthetic limb.

Like his picture suggests, Landon keeps his sleeves rolled up and avoids wearing his suit jacket whenever possible. His suit is navy blue and he wears a silk, light blue tie that his Ma gave him before he left for Midgar, which he cherishes.

Personality
Landon may possibly be the nicest Turk to wear the suit. This doesn't mean that he's a pushover, or that he's any kind of pacifist, however. Generally, he's easygoing and friendly to his compatriots and even potential opponents, but when it's time to fight, he'll ensure that he puts his enemy down with very little muss or fuss. He likes to throw down and seems to genuinely have fun fighting, and even if his life is on the line, he'll still have a smile on his face. His flippant attitude may annoy his comrades, but he doesn't care. He tends to act like a 'bro' and has a nickname for everyone, and tends to change those nicknames on the fly. He also has a soft spot for women and children, and will at times catch himself being crude or idiotic and completely stop so as to not offend the 'fairer sex' or 'young ears'.

There are generally very few things that set him off. A person can get up in his face and spit at him and call him every derogatory name in the book, and he'll stand there and take it...until they insult his Ma or Pa. Doubting his ability because of his prosthesis will usually earn a snide remark along the lines of "Nah, my only limitation is the parts of me that are meat, friend-o."

Background
Corel was once a middling coal mining town near the tourist trap of Coast Del Sol. It's residents were proud, hard-working, and friendly people. Three of those people were a burly bear of a man named Kain, his young wife Helen, and their rambunctious son Landon. Kain worked the mines since his childhood, and when Landon was 10, he followed suit. Helen, meanwhile, ran a diner of sorts to keep the working people of the town well-fed and happy. When Landon was just on the cusp of 18 years of age, his father passed away from black lung. The town mourned for a time and Landon quickly and seamlessly took up the mantle of 'Man of the House' and primary breadwinner of the family.

Two years later, Scarlet, representing the interests of the Shinra Electric Power company, came to Corel and and made a proposition: Shinra would build a reactor on the nearby Mt. Corel, and the town of Corel would reap the rewards that having a new, cutting edge source of power would afford them. Landon, along with the town elders, readily agreed and days later, construction began on the massive reactor.

Landon readily leapt into his work helping in the construction and even when morale seemed low and Shinra seemed too pushy, Landon worked to keep everyone's spirits up. However, one fateful day, Landon's world was suddenly turned upside down. An explosion occurred in part of nearly completed reactor, and Landon, along with a handful of men went to try to rescue anyone they could. Although they were able to get a number of people to safety, Landon's right arm was badly injured by falling debris and he lost consciousness.

When he came to, he tried to lift his hand, only to find out there was none. The doctor who was present told him that the injuries to his arm were too extensive and that he had no choice but to amputate. Landon's only response: "Is everyone safe?"

Indeed, there had been only two deaths in the explosion, and a Shinra investigation quickly found cause of the explosion: the terrorist group known as AVALANCHE.

Within days, Shinra forces were storming the town, under the guise of rooting out hidden AVALANCHE members. They completely razed the town, chasing any survivors to the north. Landon and his Ma were barely able to get to safety, but not before a Shinra troop uttered the words that would etch themselves into his mind for the rest of his life: "You brought this on yourselves."

Landon knew that the trooper was wrong; AVALANCHE brought this misery, not the people of Corel. After healing up and rebuilding what they could, Landon made the decision to leave North Corel for Midgar, to join SOLDIER and exact his own brand of justice on the cowardly terrorists of AVALANCHE. Using the last of his savings, he travelled to Midgar and found someone who could outfit him with a new arm and in a couple of years, once he was fighting fit, he tried out for SOLDIER...and failed.

However, his skill and enthusiasm caught the attention of the Turks, who appreciated his up close and personal style. After his recruitment, he quickly made a name for himself as a quaint and folksy, but skilled and dedicated enforcer.

Weapon
Although Landon is proficient with a number of mining implements, such as pickaxes and shovels, his primary weapon is his fists. He learned to box as a teen, and carried those skills over to his career as a Turk. He also knows a few grapples and throws, but he more prefers to simply punch his opponents.

Penn

Text Link

Name

Pendulum; although claiming her real name is Fubuki Weiss, she chooses to be called Pendulum, or Penn, after her weapon.

Age

Penn in only eighteen years old, a little young compared to her fellow Turk allies.

Date of Birth

September 6, εγλ 1983

Gender

Female

Height

Penn is exactly five feet tall, making her pretty short in comparison to those around her. There are even times when fellow Turks tease her about her height, or call her "Short-Stack", to get a reaction.

Weight

Weighing 102 pounds, she has a habit of being thrown around in battle...

Hair Color

Penn has natural ombre hair, as it goes from silvery white at the roots, a light pinkish purple down the middle, and then to a soft icy blue at the ends. As her hair grows out, it slowly changes color, resulting in the gradient ombre. Her hair is often curly, stopping at her bottom and she keeps her front bangs instead of parting it to the side.

Eye Color

Penn's natural eye color is blue, but she does need to wear either glasses or contacts in order to see properly. The contacts make her eyes significantly lighter, while she wears baby blue framed square glasses when outside of battle.

Written Description

Pendulum is a petite young girl, standing at five feet exactly and weighing about one hundred pounds give or take. She has curly ombre hair that's usually left out when not on missions and blue eyes that change color depending on if she's wearing contacts or glasses. Her skin is surprisingly smooth and silky, void of any knicks or battle scars. Her casual wears often consists of a knee length short sleeved periwinkle dress with white flats, and a black shoal with a bow in the front.

When on duty, Penn wears the standard Turk uniform, a navy blue suit with dark low heels and her hair tied into a high ponytail with a dark band. Her pendulums are often hidden in her sleeves.

Personality

When first meeting Pendulum, she seems to have a cold, aloof personality based off of her appearance. She appears to have a distant attitude around everyone except for those she's seen on a day to day basis...that is until you get close enough to actually talk to her.
The true Penn is a very crude, violent, arrogant, and aggressive person. Having an attitude reminiscent of a teenage delinquent, Penn tends to come off as very anti-heroic, if not downright evil. This problematic behavior goes all the way back to her early childhood days and having to cope with being mostly deaf in both ears. Uncomfortably brutal at times, Penn smiles eerily when finding herself in the middle of a battle. Her personality reflects her fighting style when alone: mercilessly assaulting the opponent with pendulums and having no regard for anything other than the enemies around her. Despite this, she's quite talented in fighting, using her pendulums in various ways besides attacking. She's also very intelligent, being capable of strategic planning and investigating, to the point that some even consider her a prodigy among Turks.
While not the most mentally stable fighter, despite having the image of one, she knows who her enemies and allies are. Cold to her allies, but colder to her enemies. She's also very rude and foul-mouthed, which makes her hard to approach; with the help of other Turks, her aggressive outbursts become less aggressive. With that in mind, Penn knows when to be mature, although is still quite aloof and unsociable, showing disinterest in hanging out with her fellow allies, even when she wants to.
Due to the constant praise of her abilities, Pendulum has a superiority complex and wants to be first and the best at everything. She doesn't like when people look down on her, as if they were superior; thus, it diminishes her already short fuse. Because of this complex, she's implied to be anti-social; she seems not to care for much people.
Penn is also immensely prideful, as she hates the idea of others either helping her or her having to rely on others to assist her in battle. Because of her pride, Penn refuses to work together with others claiming she can do whatever she's assigned on her own. However, she will repay those who help her. She likes napping, drinking tea, and anything cute. She dislikes loud sounds, the smell of oil, and cheese, and has the habit of talking to herself,
watching her pendulum absently, and she easily becomes distressed and even cries randomly due to bottled up emotions leaking out. This also leads to uncontrollable shaking from time to time.

Background

Pendulum remembers only small parts of her past, back when she was still Fubuki Weiss. She remembered that she was one of the many people that lived in Midgar's slums as an orphan; except she was a little different. Instead of banding together with others to survive, she was all alone. For one, her appearance shied away those that tried to approach her. She always had a hard time seeing, and was never able to understand those around her, never obtaining the human interaction that most needed to remain sane. Fubuki remembers being bullied, even those in the slums beating her down, forcing her to steal food, and spitting at her when she 'ignored' them...all of it was forever etched into her mind resulting in the occasional trembling fits she has to this day.

Fortunately, their efforts gave hope to Fubuki, as one day during her 'errands', stood face to face with an open book next to one of the merchants' booths. She knew she was only suppose to get necessities, but she couldn't possibly pass this up. So she stole the book and took it back to the slums, her eyes squinting just see the pictures displayed in the book.

This book lead to Fubuki's interest in the Delacriox Family. She didn't know what they did exactly, but their symbol, followed by the picture of a woman praying to the wings of a bird were etched into the girl's mind, giving her hope. She often drew these symbols in the dirt and picked up forgotten bird feathers to pray on them at night. It was the only thing that kept her believing that everything would be alright.

She had no idea how long she had been doing such things, but before she knew it, her wish had come true. She remembered military men walking through the slums, picking up every person they thought they could use (for what? Penn could only assume for the Genome experiments now thinking back on it), Fubuki being one of them. She could only watch in awe, remembering how hard she prayed and how many times she drew the symbol, only to see it etched onto the shield of the girls walking within the troops. Before she could even express her gratitude for giving her hope, the girl was whisked away.

Before the girl even knew it, a few years had past and Fubuki Weiss was no more. Declining the offer to the SOLDIER program, Pendulum opted to work under the Turks, hoping to learn ore about the world in the process. With eyes and ears like her, she knew she couldn't be a SOLDIER,
at least not at that time. She had to learn how to read, write, get an education, sign language, and at least understand basic lip movements.

Weapon

Pendulum's primary weapon is, if you couldn't guess, is dual pendulums. She usually has the ends of the pendulums wrapped around her finger or wrist to use them more freely. It has extreme range (3.5 m), being useful in mostly mid and long range attacks. She usually alternates between three different types of pendulums (using two at the same time), each one holding materia within it.

Spiral Pendulum: for Piercing and Quick Attacks.

Weighed Pendulum: for Blunting and Power Attacks.

Materia Pendulum: specifically for using Materia and Magical Attacks.

Limit Break

When pushed to the edge, Pendulum unleashes her Limit Break, Frozen Hell. The move first begins with Penn uncontrollably shaking, her eyes roll to he back of her head, and her head tilting back as if looking up at the sky. She opens her mouth, only to release a bloodcurdling scream. Pendulum chains made of ice shoot out of her body, causing her to scream louder in pain. Chains shoot out in all directions, preventing enemies (and even some allies) from escaping; if they're unlucky and touch said chains, the person in question is inflicted with freeze. Once the chains connect to a hard surface, the area around Penn (exactly 10 feet to 20 feet depending on mood) erupts in a flurry of frozen icicles (a form of Blizzaga if that's okay), growing as tall as 20 feet. This lasts for 17 seconds and has the same effects as the chains, being able to freeze and physically hurt those who touch them. After her Limit Break, she is normally left unconscious. Her Limit actually does cause pain to her and is count as an AOE move.

Laphicet Kyrielight

Name

They go by Laphicet Kyrielight, but their friends and people in their fan club call them Laphi...so basically everyone calls them Laphi.

Age

Despite their youthful appearance, Laphi is twenty-one years old. Yeah, I know.

Date of Birth

January 17 εγλ 1980

Gender

Although being biologically male, they identify as genderfluid and usually sticks with non-binary and sometimes male pronouns.

Height

Laphicet stands at a below average five feet and four inches.

Weight

127 lbs

Hair Color

Laphicet originally had blonde hair, but since going through the SOLDIER experiment, their hair has faded to a light purplish white. It's semi long in length and stops just above their shoulders. Another side effect of the experiment would be Laphi's "fake ears" which are the same color as their hair. The horns on their head, however, are a stark purple color.

Written Description

Laphicet is a below average biological male with a fragile build as they stand only a few inches above five feet. They have semi long light purple white hair that stops just above their shoulders and milky white skin. Before becoming a SOLDIER, Laphicet had ruby red eyes. In terms of casual clothing, Laphicet is know for wearing clothing that those in their fan club send them so it could be almost anything, really. However, when it comes to their unique SOLDIER uniform, Laphicet wears a sleeveless white and red turtleneck jacket, dark colored shorts that stop just above their knees, and dark shoes. Bandages wrap around their elbows to their fingertips and all of their shins. These parts usually had some piece of light armor over top them, including a thin breastplate that goes underneath their jacket. Laphicet's signature yin and yang chakrams hang off the loops attached to the sides of their jacket.

Due to accepting Fenrir's DNA, Laphi's hair changed colors, and it sticks up in two sections, giving off the impression that they have animal ears; these parts of their hair are pretty sensitive too. They also have stark purple horns that stick out from just under their "animal ears", only sticking an inch or two out of their hair.

Personality

Laphicet is very nice, but they also has a very meek and timid personality. They tend to be very shy and apologizes a lot; it's easy to intimidate them to the point of tears. However, they also love to talk to those that are willing to look past their meek nature, and becomes much more lively whenever they're given a chance to speak up.
Laphi is probably one of the kindest and softest 1st class SOLDIER you'll ever meet, as they literally wouldn't hurt something so long as said something doesn't deserve it. They have a deep deep disdain for disputes occurring between friends or allies, often trying to stop them once they start.

Unfortunately, Laphicet also had a deep-rooted complex over being looked down on by others as being "weak". This happened as a result of memories and experiences from their childhood where they were frequently bullied and told to act tougher due to them being rather frail for a boy, resulting in their now gender-fluidity. By doing such, they were able to feel more comfortable about what they lacked and was finally able to ignore all the negatives that people threw at them; although there are times when specific gender comments strike a chord in Laphi, this being the only thing that can get him particularly angry. Though they try to hide it, they get uncomfortable when others treat them as a girl and sometimes a boy, and they would rather spend time with other boys instead of girls. They greatly admire men who are physically strong and they wish they could be like them at times.

Laphi likes to cook, bake and read books, but dislikes natural disasters, fighting, and bloodshed; hence why they are more of a support based fighter. They also go completely bonkers when they see anything chocobo related. When it comes to Laphi's fan club, they are very open with them and loves to interact with them, even accepting gifts.

Background

Laphicet was much like any other farmer boy, working under his adopted grandfather who found him abandoned at said farm when he was only three. Due to his fragile build and weak body, he was originally kept away from the chocobos due to the possibility of getting trampled by them. It was only when he turned seven that his grandfather deemed it was safe for him to start helping out. Laphicet was absolutely enamored with the feathered being, tending to them every chance he got; he even slept with them in the stables if he was sneaky enough.

When he wasn't playing and helping out with the chocobos, Laphi listened on to visitor's conversations and made small talk with the younger visitors. All they would talk about is becoming a SOLDIER, fan clubs, and who was stronger compared to the other, most of which had no real meaning to the boy. However, slowly, but surely, as more and more kids brought up SOLDIERs, Laphi knew he had to work hard and become of them, for the sake of his real parents and grandfather; he also knew that if he became a SOLDIER he would be famous in a way, and his parenta would be bound to hear his name and come looking for him.

This new drive slowly lead to Laphicet focusing more on his studies, but it also gave way to the worse year of his life. Now thirteen years old, Laphicet noticed how boy like him were a lot taller than him, and had more toned muscles, and deeper voices while he just stayed the same. He would often get picked on by his so-called friends for looking and sounding like a girl. His grandfather told him that he was bound to start changing any day, but four years later and nothing. This lead to Laphicet changing their gender identity to genderfuild, remaining as such for the rest of their life.

Only a few months after accepting their new gender identity, Laphi was accepted into the SOLDIER program and despite having very decent fighting capabilities, what actually got them to 1st class would have to be their excellent support in battle. Laphi knew how to tend to those around them, and this carried to the battlefield, giving them the alias of the SOLDIER's Backbone, one that remains loyal to this very day.

Rowen Tuesti

SOLDIER Third Class

Name:

Rowen Tuesti

Age:

18

Date of Birth:

June 20^th, 1983

Gender:

Male

Height:

5’9”

Weight:

180 lbs

Hair Color:

White (formerly dark brown)

Written Description:

By all accounts, Rowen does not look at all like your typical military man. He is hardly imposing at only 5’9” and there is a definite greenness to him that most people are quick to pick up on. And while he has an athletic build, it is not nearly as well pronounced or muscular as other members of SOLDIER. But despite these obvious shortcomings, Rowen still carries himself with a sense purpose and there is an unmistakable confidence in his eyes. Not even the drab blues of the Third Class uniform can cover the aura of nobility that years of his father’s tutelage have engrained in him.

Before joining SOLDIER, Rowen had kept his brown hair slicked back and formal, but now it is left unruly and snow white, the latter of which is due to him inheriting Ramuh’s genome. While it was a bit unnerving at first, barely a thought is wasted on it since he sees it as a purely superficial change.

Personality:

Easygoing and genuine, Rowen is not at all what most would expect from the son of Roland Tuesti. Where his old man had made a reputation for himself by being cold and calculating, Rowen has strived, with varying degrees of success, to be more open with others and to be a kinder force than his father ever was. Yet if you look closely, you will still find traces of his strict upbringing in his near unshakable confidence and how he absolutely hates losing.

There is an intelligence to Rowen that has been cultivated by years of studying. And while he does not care all that much for being overly formal and adhering to needless etiquette, he is quite disciplined and loathes leaving a task half finished, since in his mind it will just make more work for himself later. And while he is not nearly high strung enough to be considered a perfectionist, Rowen definitely has an appreciation for keeping things ordered and prefers to discuss plans thoroughly rather than simply charging headfirst at the problem.

There’s a naiveté to Rowen that is telling of his upbringing that left him wanting for little. This can range from the mundane, such as not understanding common slang, to the shocking, like not knowing how to do his laundry. One can say that Rowen is immature in the truest sense of the word, as he has a strong dislike of the actions of Shinra, but no real idea about what he can do to change it. And while he is sorely lacking in experience, he is eager to fix that and learn. But, perhaps most importantly, he is still growing and changing.

Background:

Born into the Tuesti family, whose name reached prominence due mostly to the work of Reeve Tuesti, Rowen was born to a life that left him wanting for little. But while his uncle Reeve is known to have true compassion for the citizens of Midgar, Roland, Rowen’s father, is ambitious and calculating. And it was these two traits that the man hoped to pass on to his eldest son, so that one day Rowen could follow in his footsteps. By no means did Rowen have a traumatic childhood, but it was one filled with rigid expectations and intolerance for failure.

From an early age, Rowen was tutored in the ways of manipulation and foresight, all so that he could be groomed to become just as fearsome of a business man as his father when his time came. And that very well may have happened, had it not been for his uncle who mentored the lad under the guise of giving him work experience. He had only been 15 at the time, but already he was starting to have the same cold and calculating demeanor of his old man. Yet, as he worked with his uncle and saw the unjust treatment Shinra was prone to subject its citizens to, Rowen began to quietly reject his father’s teachings.

It wasn’t until he turned 18 that this little rebellion of his truly took shape though. Being a pragmatist, Rowen couldn’t see himself taking after his uncle Reeve and quietly doing what he could to help the people from the inside, all the while biting his tongue as others got hurt and exploited. So instead, he set his sights on joining SOLDIER, where he believed he could directly help and protect others, just like the hero of the Wutai War, Sephiroth.

Despite his clear lack of actual combat experience, Rowen’s long hours of studying fencing, which had been put on him by his father to “hone his mind,” seemed to have been enough to satisfy his examiners of his potential. Being placed in third class was no real surprise to him, but ending up under the command of one Lapin Delacroix certainly was. The two had known each other since childhood, but could hardly be called friends because both of their personalities where almost inherently at odds with each other.

Nevertheless, Rowen has fully committed himself to SOLDIER. What began as a simple desire to free himself of the future that his father had laid out for him has grown into a true sense of wanting to help people and to find out his true worth.

Name

Beryl Vagrant (ベリル バグ)

Age

17, Seventeen.

Date of Birth

January 1st, εγλ 1985

Gender

Male.

Height

5'8", Five-feet eight-inches.

Weight

140lbs, One-hundred and forty pounds.

Hair Color

Teal Blue/Teal Green, formerly Black.

Written Description

The ripples on the surface means nothing. Beryl, upon first glance seems anything but pensive. He has boyish features, skin as smooth as silk, and a creamy complexion that compliments his overall mystery. All the same, there are times when his full lips will straighten into a grimace or when his eyes, once tinted with mirth, will deepen and fade. Those alien blue-green eyes, which oddly enough fits perfectly on him, are wide, sharp, and transparent. His teal blue hair, in a different shade of light, can be mistaken for sea-green at times. Though the color can be viewed as rare, his diligence to care for it is not. He often leaves his home without touching it, letting his unruly, short cut fall where it may.

At SOLDIER like his other colleagues, he wears the mundane Third-Class outfit. His svelte frame makes it easy for him to blend in and go unnoticed. Because of his past he's often spotted alone, either drifting off or listening to music.

Personality

Beryl walks a thin and near-gray line of destruction. He is a master at concealing his emotions, often leading others to guess and assume or outright provoking confusion. And despite an outright show of cheer and good nature, he despises the current state of humanity and humans. He finds them frustrating but worth the hard-work of saving. This aversion to people has led him to plunge inwardly, often distracting himself with the few things he cherish. The powerful heart-changing sounds that comes from music, the messy peace of the night, the thought-consuming work behind studying and learning.

He can lose himself in the middle of a crowd, often leaving behind only a trace of his presence. Simple mathematics sends him up the wall with headaches and while he openly declares he has something he hates, he'll never let it leave his lips. To fear something similar to what he hates is ironic, because the facts are he trembles unbidden in front of cats. More specifically beneath their unnerving gazes. He became a SOLDIER in hopes of escaping his poverty and becoming stronger.

Background

Beryl is a survivor of the Wutai War and last member of the Ukihara lineage. As a young boy he was witness to the bloody war. Shinra Infantry and SOLDIERs alike stormed their village mid-war. Many were killed even more tortured. His father, mother, and older sibling was capable of escaping. However, it was all for naught. They traveled to the blessed Da-Chao Statue hoping for sanctuary. Only to run into others migrating as well. Once reaching the statue, they had a small respite before being attacked again; this time by SOLDIERS. After witnessing his family killed off in succession, from father to sister, Beryl (formerly named Daigo) was whisked off to Midgar for safety by a missionaries.

There he lived as a vagrant. He changed his name in the way simpletons would, simply describing his new appearance. He studied hard, learned the ways of the slums, built his physicality, and eventually discovered a new way of thinking. He had ascended himself above the moral code. He had decided not to hate Shinra for its misdeeds but to use it for his goals and ambitions. The world was corrupt and that stupid symbol, the emblem of a lion, was burned into his mind. Reminding him of his past on a molecular, visceral level. He decided he needed to become a SOLDIER for his goals. So he made connections, did things that would require unasked favors as payback. Eventually he was scouted and once he joined, he had instantly obtained the moniker "Blue".

Male

Height

6'2" , Six-foot Two

Weight

215lbs, Two hundred-fifteen pounds

Hair Color

Blonde/Sandy

Written Description

Astral has the visage of a wild animal despite his cultivated upbringing. He is made of hard lines, blueprinted from genetics and honed through training. He is a towering man who has often been described as "unapproachable" or "frightening" when donning his SOLDIER armor. On the flip-side, when out casually, many women tend to swoon over his elegant face. Which can often tilt on the side of feminine. With his cream colored skin, smooth complexion, and alien "mako" hued eyes he's a ethereal kind of beauty.

One of the perks of being a first class SOLDIER is being omitted from wearing the uniform. He has opted to wear a unique set of armor. Often seen as one-of-a-kind in the eyes of others. Organized spikes and stylized plates lay across his form. While traveling he'll often be seen wearing a dark waist cloak, dark woolen pants, with high-boots strapped with leather strips. Likewise his armor follows the top all the day way.

Personality

Astral is a doggish man who chases after his goals and ambitions without respite. Quite confident in his abilities and keen of eye, he deems most, if not all, inadequate of his Brightfang. And despite the rumors, he is actually thoughtful and quick-witted. His intellectual side is buried alongside his love of books, debate, and mental exercises. It amuses him that what many believe he enjoys, what the rumors and tales have sung of him, are many of the things he despises. Killing, war, the smell of blood. Hearing his own tales often angers him to the point of avoidance. If not for the hopeful hearts of those dedicated to his fan club, he'd have spurn those rumors long ago. Alas he realizes it's that image of Astral Daimonia they look up to and to shatter that visage, would be the same as introducing them to a stranger.

Background

Astral was born in the village of Kalm to a mythril miner and inn worker. He recounts living a miserable existence, one without purpose and was therefore irrelevant. His father and mother were kind, hard working people whose only flaw was living without ambition. At one point in his young life, he had accepted his lot. Prepared to be like his father, a lowly miner in the Mythril Mine but destiny had other plans. A passing SOLDIER on vacation had visited Kalm. It was at the Inn, Astrals' home for all intents and purposes, that he gave him the greatest advice.

"Want something to change, then change yerself kid."

He did that. Like a beast, he dove into his studies, searching out a mentor, and eventually, after years, joined SOLDIER. As a SOLDIER 3rd class he didn't catch notoriety until he quelled a fledgling rebellion against The Shinra Electric Company in Sector 7. It was a motley bunch and yet it earned him his first rank up. As a SOLDIER 2nd class his climb to 1st was much slower and grueling. He led his soldiers with the same insight that helped him discover Sector 7's terrorism. Many of his battle tactics were considered reckless, unorthodox, however they got the job done and usually above-performance expectancy. Near the end of the Wutai War, Astral shone like a polished gem, when he alone combated a unit of ninjas in order to advance a scattered squad. This act attracted the eye of SOLDIER's hierarchy and granted him the rank of SOLDIER 1st Class. While he takes no joy in his most prestigious act, Astral is content with his position and place in life. Astral, The Wutai Wrecker is viewed widely as a War Hero.

Sigurd Riot

Age:

20

Date of Birth:

[ μ ] - εγλ April 22, 1981

Gender:

Male

Height:

6'0"

Weight:

171 lbs

Hair Color:

Black

Eye Color:

Honey Hazel

Rank:

Guardsman

Written Description:

Sigurd wears the standard Shinra Troop uniform as depicted. His helmet has three different vision modes: infrared, night, and electromagnetic. The scarf about his neck is beige, and his uniform is mostly black with steel-colored shoulder pauldrons and knee pads. Out of uniform, Sigurd wears casual clothes such as jeans, T-shirts, jackets, etc. He is one of the handsome Shinra troops made even more popular by his performance during missions. He not only is an impressive trooper but an impressive roboguard pilot. [Reference: Pic]

Personality:

Sigurd has a boyish personality. He is confident in his skills, and if any commander ever ordered him to do something, he would get it done without question. Because of this high-speed spirit, he has made a reliable name for himself. Sigurd doesn’t ever feel like he needs to compete with the SOLDIERs because he brings a unique skill to the table that no SOLDIER can replicate and that comes with being a roboguard pilot. Sigurd’s favorite mecha is obviously his first one that he’s named, "Heavy Titan" after the Titan summon. Sigurd has yet to actually pilot the thing for there hasn’t been a situation to warrant the need for the Roboguard Units to be activated, but he eagerly awaits the day when he gets the opportunity. He has only piloted Heavy during countless hours of simulation exercises. Through simulation alone, he was deemed to be one of the top roboguard pilots in the unit. However, because he has yet to actually pilot a roboguard, this claim has yet to be proven as truth. Despite being a damn good Trooper, he often faces ridicule from the veteran pilots in the unit, and the toxicity hinders his ability to advance to an Elite Guardsman. While this frustrates Sigurd, he has learned to keep his feelings to himself. He can’t trust too many Troopers or SOLDIERs in Shinra. They just give him a bad feeling at times.

Because of the Shinra Mansion incident in his past, the option to join the SOLDIER project was presented to him on countless occasions and brought up on the lips of his peers. Overtime, Troopers from his unit opted into the SOLDIER project. Some made it and became 3rd Class SOLDIERs that he is still friends with today. Some weren't so lucky and died due to complications. Sigurd believes that he saw what the experimentation was like, and out of fear, refuses to opt into the project. Instead of revealing that fear is his excuse, he hides it behind arrogance. He has his unit believing that he is too good and arrogant to become a SOLDIER.

Besides his reputation, Sigurd is very down-to-earth. When he’s off-duty, after he cleans and cares for his weapons and equipment, and runs maintenance on his dormant roboguard, he goes out on the town to drink, party, and try to win gorgeous girls with the rest of the Troopers. He often gets into tough-guy matches with the SOLDIERs, and as much as he challenges them, and loses, he doesn’t ever feel inferior. When you’re this good without bio-engineering, huh, who needs Mako?

Background:

Sigurd was born and raised in Nibelheim, a small mountain village located at the base of Mt. Nibel across the river from Cosmo Canyon. His parents were Simon and Ashley Riot, commoners in the town that received frequent Shinra attention. During his childhood, Sigurd got to see several Shinra big-shots pass in and out of Nibelheim from President Shinra to the First Class SOLDIERs. He and his childhood buddies were influenced at an early age to join Shinra and become the best like the First Class SOLDIERs. One day, the boys had a dare to see who was the bravest. The dare was to see who could get the closest to the spooky Shinra Mansion. They had always seen strange folk going in and out of the manor. They even saw several people moved into the manor (after Kalm’s firebombing). The bravest boy was able to crawl through a hole they had dug beneath the wall at night that was protecting the property and sneak passed the guards to touch the very door of the manor itself—at least that was what he claimed he did before high-tailing it back to the group. When it was Sigurd’s turn, he was under major peer-pressure to outdo the other boy. Sigurd snuck onto the property and around the side of the mansion to one of the windows. He touched a window and made a motion to open it that he was originally hoping would fail when the window suddenly gave. To his fright, the window opened, and seeing no one inside, he boldly slipped inside.

The mansion was eerily empty, or so it seemed. There had to have been people inside, otherwise, why were there guards guarding the place? Instead of grabbing a worthless object from the house as proof he had won the dare, Sigurd’s curiosity led him further into the mansion. The memory to this day is fuzzy, but Sigurd remembered somehow gaining access to a lower floor, and when he reached it, he found people undergoing horrific experimentation. He was seen by Professor Hojo and the sight of the man had scared him into fleeing from the mansion. He returned to his friends with no proof of ever entering the mansion only the story of all he had seen. They called him a liar and a scaredy-cat. The boy who had entered the mansion before him was declared the winner. Regardless, Sigurd never forgot what he saw. It gave him nightmares for weeks, and he hoped to never see the spooky man again.

When Sigurd was old enough, he enlisted as a Shinra Trooper and was intelligent enough to test out and qualify for the Roboguard unit. While having yet to operate the roboguard he was trained for, Sigurd continues to perform exceptionally well as an infantryman.

The Hound

"Stand down or feel my bite."

Name

Cayde "The Hound" Halloway

Age

27

Date of Birth

June 29, 1974

Gender

Male

Height

5'9

Weight

210 lbs

Hair Color

Black with orange/red highlights mimicking flames.

I skipped Eye Color because all SOLDIERs have Mako blue-green eyes.

Written Description

Cayde isn't very tall for his age, being a height of 5'9", but is a fairly muscular, handsome 27 year old, with a sort of charisma that everyone and everything see as quite attractive. Cayde has very tanned, light-brown skin, with his charismatic glow and smile. He has a warriors build, his body having been described as hard as rock if someone where to ever run into him. Cayde's hair is quite messy as he doesn't style it often and most confuse it for flames due to the colo and the way it sways when he moves. His outfit is one denoting a special forces agent as he wears a tight black tactical shirt with grey lines down the middle, black cargo pants with a gunblade holster, black combat boots, and a black trench coat that holds his tools and magazines.

Personality

Many people have stated that Cayde doesn't seem to be the type of person who would be a SOLDIER and fighting in battles. He's often a cheerful guy, a person that would never frown or hold grudges against anybody no matter what they did to him in the past. He would lift spirits up in dark and gloomy times have fun in everything he does. He truly is a person who enjoys life to the fullest. His usually merry self would lead him into doing many selfless deeds. With this kind of personality, Cayde is able to make friends easily. Cayde is kind to all of the people around him and can easily sympathize with others. Loyalty is also one of Cayde's charm points and will press on forward to protect and serve the leaders of SHINRA, even willing to sacrifice his own life or them. Other SOLDIERs noted that Cayde possesses great willpower and stubbornness, getting him to change his mind isn't easy to do; unless orders counter his ideals, he is going to stick with his way to the end. He is also very dense and usually shows a blank or confused face. Although he seems like a kind person, Cayde does say that he tends to hold grudges for a long period of time. As a fellow SOLDIER, he is loyal to his superiors such as the President of Shinra. He would follow orders without question and doubt. As one of the SOLDIER 1st, he takes great pride in his title and defends it significantly.

Despite his usual self, his personality takes a 180 shift when it comes to battles, Cayde becomes a quieter and cold person than what he was like before. His battle strategies are often ruthless and violent. He is willing to make sacrifices, like his arm or taking a blow on the chest, in order to win the battle or learn the opponent's move set, strengths, and critical weaknesses. This also shows Cayde's more reckless side. He would let the opposite side of the battle damage him just to make a plan of how to block the blow or counterattack. After a battle, it is rarely seen to have Cayde not have any scratches on him or any serious injuries. He also enjoys strong opponents and will always look for a good fight. And if ever loses a fight, Cayde works extremely hard to "catch up" to the person who beat him. He is willing to overwork and injure himself for this purpose. During battle, he displays a more calculating side to him and often wins using tactical approaches.

Background

Cayde was born in Nibelheim and never really got to know the people that lived there. His father happened to be a well known Shinra Troop Leader that would bring his son around the HQ. He would always tell Cayde of how special he was and how the boy would grow up to be something more than even him. No one knew that Cayde's father, Zavala, had been placing his son in Hojo's experiments. Cayde was tested many times and prepped for the SOLDIER program for when he would come of age. Zavala would constantly train his son, pushing him harder and harder whilst also nurturing the personality that Cayde would grow into. Things would eventually change when Cayde would 16 and was brought to live in Midgar close to Shinra HQ.

To make a long story short, Cayde made SOLDIER 1st Class quickly due to the prior experiments and training. He was there for many major battles including the Wutai War where he earned his moniker of The Hound due to his "special" missions in the war. Some deemed him a monster among men whilst his fanclub deemed him a hero. Time would pass and Cayde's reputation to the public would fall more and more as those who hated Shinra, even those that loved them, could only see him a dog following Shinra's every command no matter how sadistic. Though Cayde still made bonds, generating a close friendship with Sigurd Riot, becoming a big brother to Laphicet Kyrielight, and a rival to Astral Diamonia. He is one of the longest reigning SOLDIER 1st Class, The Hound of SHINRA, and only fate can foretell if the Hound will stay loyal or eventually bite the hand that feeds him. If only his father told him the fate of his mother before his death at the hands of a sadist.

Name

Damian Seran

Age

32

Date of Birth

June 12, εγλ 1969

Gender

Male

Height

Stands at 5’11”

Weight

195 lbs

Hair Color

Becoming a SOLDIER caused his hair to go from a natural black to a cobalt blue color.

I skipped Eye Color because all SOLDIERs have Mako blue-green eyes.

Written Description

Damian is not quite the giant that most other SOLDIERs are, but he’s certainly far from short. He falls just short of six feet tall at five foot, eleven inches, but every inch of that is lean, athletic muscle. He bears a single long scar down his right arm that he keeps exposed with an armor set up that doesn’t cover it, and all his shirts are missing the right sleeve. On the job and off the job, he wears combat pants and a combat shirt with pieces of plate armor over it, primarily the shins, thighs, forearms and chest, with his left shoulder having the only pauldron he wears on it.

Personality

Damian is a calm man outside of combat, with a confidence that has the unnerving ability to attract women despite the fact that he’s not actually interested in a relationship. He likes spicy food, learning more about the past, and a good card game. He doesn’t particularly care for idiots, super sweet food(chocolate overload type foods for example), or laze-abouts. He normally kicks those types in the ass and hounds them until they do their job. When it comes to his fanclub, he is always encouraging them to become the best they can be and that that may not always be with the SOLDIER program, though he himself is entirely dedicated to Shinra and the program.

Background

Mister Damian Seran was born the child of two restaurant owners in the town of Costa del Sol ten years after Shinra first discovered Mako Energy, a town that at the time wasn’t doing so well until the beginning of the construction of the Midgard Plate after he turned seven. It was during the interim years that, as he got older, the young lad came to have complete confidence in the company as it made the living conditions, and the amount of business his family’s restaurant got, better.

However, he was content to inherit the restaurant until he met one of the early SOLDIERs at age twelve who had stopped in at Costa del Sol to take a break from the hectic life he lead in Midgard. The man and he spoke for the duration of his stay as he told the young man about his adventures and some of the perks of being a SOLDIER. After he left, a young Damian was determined to join the SOLDIER program and set immediately to training and threw himself at his school studies with a vigor his parents had known he’d had.

In the year εγλ 1987, after his eighteenth birthday, he joined Shinra’s SOLDIER program as a 3rd Class SOLDIER, where he stayed despite many shining moments in his service. The reason behind his delay in moving to 1st class was never quite clear, but he was given the promotion shortly after the Wutai War started in his 23rd year. The Wutai, through a combination of their ninjas and infantry power, had managed to hold onto a strategic position that would give Shinra a route to an important stronghold that there was no other way to approach. The 2nd Class SOLDIER that was in charge of Damian’s group had been wounded during the fighting and, in a desperate play for victory, the young SOLDIER spearheaded a charge into the enemy’s right flank, where he managed to cause enough damage to make the Wutai forces retreat at the cost of all those who had accompanied him and several wounds to himself, including the scar on his right arm.

The attack proved he had the salt and skills to be a 1st Class SOLDIER, despite the fact that the 20 Shinra Troops who had charged in with him hadn’t survived the encounter. The young man had broken a siege that had been costing Shinra dearly for several months and came out of it alive, which was all the proof required. His promotion only firmly set in Damian’s mind that Shinra was the way of the future and remains fiercely loyal even after so many years with them.

Age

30

Date of Birth

November 5th, εγλ 1971

Gender

Male

Height

6'1

Weight

215lbs

Hair Colour

Long, free flowing black hair

Written Description

His complexion is extremely pale, so much so that it often makes him stand out from those around him. The ghostly complexion complements his mako infused eyes, giving him an almost otherworldly appearance.

He has a deceptively slight build, his black clothing hiding a muscled physique beneath. The torso hugging top he wears is covered by a full length cloak that stops just above the heel of his foot. A black hat finishes his attire, blending in with the rest of his gear.

Hidden behind his lips are a set of elongated canine teeth, a side effect of being imbued with the DNA of Anima. From his lips comes a voice that is both intelligent and menacing, a bass note that is filled with authority.

Personality

Caius is a determined character, entirely focussed on his mission from planning until completion. This determination is what got him to 1st Class, making him stand out from the others at his earlier grades. Outside of operations he takes in the world around him, exploring and learning all he can. He seeks to expand his horizons and knowledge in whatever way he can.

He is a merciful individual and that is what endears him to his fans. He always provides his enemies with an out before he begins. Those who accept are allowed to walk free, those who don't...die. He would prefer the worlds problems be solved through diplomacy but is not so naive to think that's possible. His long term goal is peace in the world and he realises that his skills must be used to make that a reality.

Background

He was born and raised in the slums of Midgar by his mother, never knowing his father. His mother worked in the Honey Bee Inn as one of the "main attractions", but it wasn't until he grew older that Caius understood the sacrifice his mother made to try and provide for him. Mountains of books and enough food to keep him healthy, Caius' youth was filled with reading the history of the world.

During his teenage years his mother fell ill, eventually succumbing to her illness six months later. The time that followed was hard for Caius, she was his world and now he was alone. He wandered the slums for a few days before he came across the train station. A uniformed Shinra soldier stood on the platform proclaiming wealth, fame and the chance to make a real difference awaited aboard the train. Caius boarded the train to his future as a Shinra soldier.

He spent a while moving around on placements at different locations, seeing some moderate action that caught the eye of his superiors. He was accepted into the SOLDIER program at 3rd Class. After several months of assisting in the guarding of a Mako reactor, he was ordered to return to Midgar. He was tasked with helping the Shinra troops quell growing animosity in the slums through regular patrols.

During a routine patrol through the Sector 8 slums. Caius and his patrol partner were ambushed by a terrorist environmentalist group, His partner was immediately incapcitated by a bullet to the back. Caius grabbed the man by the collar and began to return fire indiscriminately. The untrained attackers all ducking for cover, giving Sully the chance to get to cover himself. He quickly called for back up but was told the nearest support was thirty minutes away, the majority of the nearby Shinra troops dealing with a riot. What occurred next was soon going to be a key propaganda tool for the Shinra.

It took twenty three minutes to complete the systematic defeat of seventeen terrorists, the capturing of their leader and the saving of his injured partner. What impressed Shinra was the testimony of Caius' partner. His battlefield tactics, awareness and clinical precision outshone what most SOLDIERs had achieved in extensive careers. The fact he saved his partner would have impressed enough, but the capturing of a terrorist leader who could be paraded and shamed in public made the decision easy. He was awarded the highest honour, the rank of SOLDIER 1st Class.

For the couple of months that followed Caius was the face of the SOLDIER program, his fan club numbers swelled as his face and dramatic recreations were shown everywhere. As with most SOLDIERs though, he soon dropped from the limelight as the next big hero came along. He was not disappointed, the glitz and glamour had grown tiresome and was not something he wished to be part of. He was appreciative of his fans and would take the time to reply to letters and such, but he felt like Shinra put too much emphasis on public displays rather than working to resolve key issues.

With the parading and public appearances done with, Caius was finally allowed to continue with his new role as SOLDIER 1st Class. He excelled in the freedom he was given, successfully completing each mission that came his way during the years that followed. During this time his follows began to refer to him as Caius Sully - The Merciful. Reports would often come in that he spared large numbers of enemies during conflicts, much to the delight of Shinra who could obtain valuable intel. Shinra, his fans and enemies alike knew that his offer of mercy was a one chance option. Those that didn't take it were dealt with, with ruthless efficiency.

As time has moved on the increased freedom provided by his rank has meant that his inquisitive mind has exposed some cracks in his loyalty to Shinra. Visiting every corner of the world, speaking to many different people, he saw just how the company affected everyone. He still works for Shinra but ultimately see's it as his best chance to help move the world forward.

Blade of Blood: Caius plants his sword into the ground in front of him before clasping his hands together in front of his chest. Loose debris around him begins to elevate as a black aura begins to envelope the blade of his sword. Caius reaches out grabbing the sword, the aura then covering his body. No light penetrates the aura other than the a pair of red eyes from where's Caius' would be. A red cone of light emanates from his eyes until he finds his target. Once he has found it, he removes the sword from the ground as an otherworldly roar emanates from the heavens. Then in a blink he charges forward attacking his target. The aura lasts for ten rapid strikes before dissipating. The initial strike has a 50% chance to inflict de-barrier and de-spell.
