[OOC] Final Fantasy X: Return of the Aeons

[Aerandir]

this RP will be a high Casual to Advanced writing.


Setting: It has been twenty five years since the beginning of the Eternal Calm. The Youth League and New Yevon as well as the machine faction have joined together to build a better Spira together after their differences twenty or so years before. Because of this Spira has exploded with technology, Airships are more common now, but not common enough that it is still expensive. But a few Public transport ships are available. Blitzball spheres are now in every town, it is still the one sport that brings Spira together every year.

Though the temples are obsolete now, Former Guardians and Summoners have asked the leader of New Yevon, Baralai, to make the temples a historical monument, replacing the holes (caused by someone that no one knows about but the main people involved.) With replicas of the Fayths that once were housed there. Although they are more of a museum now, the Fayths chambers as well as the Cloister of trails is still off limits to the public because of the Fiends that have found their way back in once again.

Besaid, still a small village but twice the size it once was, now is a popular place to visit because of Lady Yuna who lives there with her husband Tidus and child(ren). Besides that, the Besaid Aurochs are now one of the better teams in blitzball, though it's rival is the Zanarkand Abe's, which was created by Tidus as he helped in the reconstruction of a part of Zanarkand, Among some of the buildings restored, the Grand Stadium was also brought back to it's original Glory, as well as the section where Yunalesca created the final temple and housed her Husbands Fayth Lord Zeon. The rebuilding of Zanarkand stood for remembering what has happened in the past and to never make the same mistakes again.

But our story begins in the humble Village of Besaid, like many other stories. The Blitzball tournament is starting and now because of the easy travel, fans of each team go to their teams home town to follow them back to Luca. Then on to Zanarkand for the Finals. A group of friends and strangers shall meet here and be thrown on an unexpected journey to save Spira them from their Sin once more...

This is our story... Write it well...

Eye color: [color=#0080FF]Bright Blue[/color]
Appearance: (Picture preferred, Description is accepted, both are best!)

[color=#FF0040]Stands 6'8, has slightly tanned skin with a large scar going from cheek bone to cheek bone and crossing the bridge of her nose just below the eyes. Wears black fingerless armored knuckled gloves, as well as a chain necklace with a silver pendant with design of the summoning creature Valefor.[/color]
Weapon: [color=#FF0040]Sword[/color]
Any Armor: [color=#FF0040]Has minor chest plates and some protection to the hips and armored knuckled gloves[/color]
Biography: [color=#FF0040]There isn't much to say really. Alex was found at the doorsteps of the Besaid Orphanage when just a infant. No one knew her name or where she came from, but she was named Alexandra after a legendary summon. Though she mostly called herself Alex, finding the shorter version more pleasing to hear at least coming from others. She was always a rambunctious child, always outgoing and ready to take on any challenge. Having a temper and a blunt personality, she didn't have a lot of friends. However, she loved hearing the stories of the heroes who stopped Sin. In fact, one day Yuna and Tidus came to visit the orphanage. The blonde man had shown her kindness and shared stories of his adventures, especially as a Blitzball Player. That was the day when she dreamed of becoming the best Blitzball player.

Of course, that was always difficult for anyone. So she practiced everyday to be just like Tidus. Practicing with a wooden sword and a ball. In her teen years, she had a lot of competition to get in the home team. Years in fact of trying in the try outs until she was finally accepted. Now she has become a star player, known for her aggressive tackles play on the field by defending her team.[/color]
Personality: [color=#FF0040]Alex is a hot tempered woman with a sharp tongue. She is brutally honest and speaks her mind without truly thinking it through. She at times can be immature and is easily side tracked when pushed to aggression. Often careless and reckless, she finds herself in bad situations a lot times that usually end up in a brawl. Despite her aggressive nature, she has a kind heart and believes in doing the right thing, of course what she thinks is right. She has a soft heart for women and children, mostly. Usually she is able to speak her mind clearly, but when she feels flustered or embarrassed, she tends to stutter, have a mental panic attack, before avoiding the situation awkwardly. She also tends to have a very overprotective nature when she does care for someone. Be it friendship or love interest.[/color]

[FF_Fan]

Name: Persephone

Notable parents: Biggs (not from game but her father is a blitzball star who used to be on the Zanarkand Abe's)

Age: 17

Hair color: White

Eye color: Royal blue

Sex: Female

Appearance: 5'4 dark tan athletic hour glass figure from playing Blitzball since she was 6. Long white hair that reaches to the middle of her hips when not braided. she tends to wear as little clothes as she can get away with. Bikini and shorts Or soft clothing, even a dress fairly occasionally.

Weapons: Spear

Armor: none she relies on her reflexes and speed.

Biography: Persephone grew up in Zanarkand as her father was one of the workers hired by new Yevon to rebuild the Stadium and part of the city. As soon as the sphere was completed a new team was created with a super blitzball star as it's coach/player Tidus, who was married to Lady Yuna. He named the team the Zanarkand Abe's and her father was one of the first members of it when she was still only 4.

Growing up she took a liking to her fathers love of blitzball as well. Practicing every morning and night. She went gone every game she could with her dad playing, she met Tidus personally many times and even got a few tips from him as well as her dad of course.
When she was thirteen Gippal, who was four years older than her joined the team with her father. She instantly became a huge fan when he scored six points in his first game... Another factor is that she found him extremely attractive as any thirteen year old girl would.

When she was fifteen she was able to keep up with some of the Abe's but then her father Retired and decided to move to Besaid to be with his close friend Tidus who had moved some time before to besaid with his wife. It was a hard thing to take in because she wanted to join the Abe's when she was 17.

When she was 17 though she was recruited by Tidus who was asked to coach for the Aurochs now, most of the original team was retiring now and there were many new additions to the team hand picked by Tidus to get the Aurochs back on top.

She was chosen because she is extremely agile in the water, because she was a petite girl she was not a strong hitter or had a great defense. But she could swim circles round the best and handle and steal the ball so well it made up for her weakness. She had focused on her handling skills as well as speed and maneuverability to survive in the game.

Personality: Very cheerful and loving. She always thinks of others and how they feel and puts others happiness before hers. She enjoys Blitzball with a passion and knows ALL about the gossip of it and other teams and could talk for hours on the subject. She always thinks there is something good in anyone and would never hurt anyone ( besides fiends).

Arriving or living in Besaid?: Living in Besaid playing for the Aurochs

Posted I'm so sorry again it won't happen again

[Teancum]

Name: Urick ( Yur-ick)

Age: 24

Sex: male

Hair color: White

Eye color: Green

Notable parents: His aunt Paine cousin to Gippal

Appearance: Compared to his cousin he is massive, standing at 6'7 and at 230 lbs of muscle, he is as big as a small ronso, he looks like a bear compared to other people. He is shirtless with tattoos over his body and wears pants and boots.



Weapon: Himself he is a martial artist and has some training with multiple weapons but fluent.
Any Armor: He wears a metal gauntlet on his his right arm that goes up to his elbow. On his left arm another gauntlet along with a couter, rerebrace and pauldron (basically armor from his elbow, his upper arm and his shoulders like in the picture) he also wears greaves (metal shin guards)

Biography: Urick is the son of the Sister of Paine. Who grew up in Zanarkand half of his life due to his father being in charge of over seeing the rebuilding of the ancient city, a job given him by his brother in-law. The other half was in Bevelle for school.

He and Gippal grew up together and spent all their time together and became like brothers. To the point where they knew each other so well that they only needed to look at each other and know what the other was thinking, even having conversations with no words to a point.

When he was 19 he went with Gippal on his adventures and they never left each other from that day on. Though he didn't join in on Blitzball, even though he enjoyed it very much he was never really good at it. He took on the role as Gippals "body guard" and always got him out of trouble from fans of girls fawning over him.

Besides following Gippal around they did stop at Mt. Gagazet during which he spent training with the Ronso at hand to hand combat. During which he was named hornless one because of his strength matched some of the Ronso which gained much respect among them.

Personality: Despite his massive and fierce appearance, he is actually a teddy bear at heart. He doesn't tend to speak much for he is shy, Gippal tends to speak for him. But once he is comfortable with someone he will speak more.

-nullandvoid-

[laserX]

Notable parents: Kihmari Ronso
Name: Runya Ronso
Age: 14
Sex: F
Hair Color: White
Eye Color: Dark Blue

Appearance: She is a ronso. A ronso is a catlike race living in a snow-capped mountain far in the north. She is 14, so is 2/3 as tall as a full adult ronso. Her father was very tall, so she is still tall.

Weapons: She carries a two headed lance. The forward head has an axe-like appendance, along with a sharp forward pointing blade (sort of like a pole axe). On the other end, there is a very sharp simple knife attached.

Armor: Ronsos do not wear armor. Ronsos are quick and brave. Armor is for the weak, or so Kimahri taught her.

Biography: She is the daughter of Kimahri Ronso. When Kimahri returned to his homeland in full honor, he instantly became head of his tribe. Women loved him. This allowed Kimahri to pick any female he wanted, and so he fell in love with the village beauty queen (A very attractive Ronso) who happened to be the previous chieftan's daughter. For many years, the two ruled the Ronso on the snow capped mountains. They made many babies, many of which grew up and were sent to other places in Spira to learn about foreign cultures in the spirit of their father.

Runya is 14 years old and is traveling to Besaid to meet those who are her father's friends. She is paying homage to those who fought with her father and who her father loved. She is also here to make friends with humans, thus following her father's footsteps. One day, she hopes to be a guardian (to a summoner) like her father.

Personality: She is very active and loves to be in the thick of the action. She is free spirited, energetic, and loyal to any friends she makes. Occassionally, she can be judgemental and sarcastic (for a Ronso), but she has a morality and honor system which her father taught her to always live by.

Arriving or living?: Arriving

[Hero]

Ahhhhh so glad this is back! Aerandir, it's me, Aikalynn, is it alright if I put up my old character again?

Edit:

"Well, that is to say...I'm going on a pilgrimage."
Notable Parents:
Mother is former summoner Donna, father is former guardian Barthello
Name:
Shion
Age:
19
Sex:
Female
Hair Color:
Black
Eye color:
Brown
Weapon:
Shion isn’t too big a fan of fighting, but sometimes uses a harp for magic.
Any Armor:
None
Biography:
Born to Donna and Barthello in Kilika, Shion was a very weak and frail child. She often fell ill, and as a result spent most of her time indoors. This lead to her love of reading, and eventually, her interest in the ways of summoning. Despite most thinking the art is dead, she was absolutely fascinated, and often would spend all day reading stories about High Summoner Yuna and her journey.
Eventually she learned of her mother’s connection, and after much begging and pleading finally got her approval. She was taught and educated in the old ways, and while there was never a chance to practice them, Shion was well versed in the history of the temples and aeons, and even sometimes found herself wishing she was born during that era.
She seemed to have a talent for magic, and made herself a mage. One day while scrounging through the family library for a time for spells, she stumbled upon her mother’s diary from years ago. She had lamented how she had actually quit her pilgrimage, and had some regret lingering. Feeling a sense of duty, Shion decided to do a pseudo-pilgrimage herself, thinking that she would complete her mother’s journey for her, even if it wasn’t literal. And thus she snuck out and hopped onto the next boat for Besaid.
Personality:
Shion is, to put it simply, a carefree spirit. She is hopelessly optimistic, cheerful, bright, and her smile never seems to falter or fade. She has an iron resolve, believing it is her destiny to help everyone that she can, and will not change her mind once it is set. She is sweet and caring, but many note that her kindness is burdened by her naivete. She is trusting to a fault and gives everyone the benefit of the doubt. She seems a bit on the ditzy side, not understanding sarcasm and taking jokes seriously. She comes off as air headed and dense, and even when you have her attention it feels like at any moment she can get distracted. Her youthful optimism can also get a bit ridiculous to any sane person.

She wants to be able to trust people, and gets very hurt when that trust is betrayed. She is sensitive when it comes to people's weaknesses and doesn't seem to understand why people can be evil. This gives everyone the impression that she is very sheltered. She doesn't like anyone seeing her upset or sad, and will gladly shove aside her own feelings to stay strong for everyone else. Despite her oddities her fears of water and fighting are serious to her, and while she won't admit it, she gets a little upset when people laugh whens he tells them. She tries to keep a level head but she worries too much about everyone and doesn't think about herself. She is, however, good at putting up a brave face, and if the situation calls for it, she won't hesitate to protect those close to her.
Are you arriving in Besaid or Living there?
Just arriving by boat, having run away from home.

[Aerandir]

Yeah we can put it here if the old group comes back I might have to split this and make a second rp same theme

[Aerandir]

Go ahead and post and I'll make Tallia again and make it so they came together?

[knighthawk]

Notable Parents: None
Name: Azzah {last name unspoken}
Age: 25
Sex: Male
Hair Color: White
Eye color: Yellow
Appearance:

Weapon: Guns, This is a new day and age.
Any Armor: Gauntlets and shoulder armor for larger guns
Biography:
Like many others from Spira, Azzah doesn't remember his real parents. They, like many others, were casualties of Sin, lost to the sea when the enormous beast capsized their ferry on the way to Luca. By sheer happenstance, and the whim of the current, a single survivor washed up on the beaches of Bikanel Island, saved from drowning by his bassinet... a makeshift boat, perhaps, but enough to keep the Ronso cub from drowning. Beachcombing salvage teams frequently combed the sands for valuable detritus (and the occasional bodies, which had to be dealt with), and it wasn't long at all before he was found. The Al Bhed didn't exactly know what to /do/ with him, but they weren't going to simply let him die...

He was given an Al Bhed name, since no one knew his given one. He was taught their language as he grew, and their ways with machina. Although his hands soon grew too broad and coarse for delicate mechanical repairs, he was strong and willing to aid in other ways. In time, he found a niche as a gunner...perhaps a strange occupation compared to what people might expect, but he didn't feel he needed to stomp about and rant about the 'warrior's way' and the rigid framework of honor. It wasn't how he was raised. Do what you can to help the Tribe. When you are called, answer. Other than that... do what you want to. Life's too short to squander.

As it is, his calling took him and a dozen others to many places, lending their mechanical knowledge to the construction of many of the blitzball arenas. When construction is not needed, then repairs are the calling of the day.

Personality:
Although he would seem cheerful and lighthearted for a Ronso, in comparison to his adoptive people, he was an island of calm and insight. His way of combat is slow but careful, each shot like a snipers, not the frivolous spray and pray many others claim. He knows he is a misplacement of two people, on the coldest nights he feels that the reason he wanders is to find his place, not on the sacred mountain of his blood, nor the eternal sands of his teachings, but someplace else where his soul will no longer wish to leave.

Are you arriving in Besaid or Living there?:
He is always wandering, a personal permanent pilgrimage to see the world. As such, he is arriving to besaid.

Hair Color: Black
Eye color: Yellow
Appearance: Appearance
Weapon: Weapon
Any Armor: What's shown in the picture
Biography: Growing up in Bevelle, Zac had heard many stories of the hero who had helped High Summoner Braska bring about the Calm 35 years ago, then again 25 years ago, when Lady Yuna brought the Eternal Calm to Spira. Said hero was a swordsman named Auron. The stories he would hear about Auron fascinated Zac and influenced his decision to follow his example and learn the way of the sword as well.
Personality: Unlike his stoic hero, Zac is easy-going, fun-loving, and friendly to a fault. Instead of being as mission-oriented as Auron was, Zac takes his time to 'stop and smell the roses,' as he would say. However, when his friends are in danger, the friendly, carefree Zac completely disappears, leaving behind a ruthless man who would do anything he can to protect his friends, even if it means using his own body as a shield.

(Sorry I posted in the IC, first. I just assumed that I could go ahead. Again, I apologize)

[Aerandir]

Sex: Female

Hair color: Black

Appearance: she wears the wraps all the time for comfort, as well as for stability. She usually wears a tight shirt with flowing pants like in the picture.

Weapons: Katana and martial arts.

Biography: Born in Kilika she is the first born to Donna and Barthello. She has a strong personality like her mother and doesn't take crap from anyone.

While her sister was reading, Tallia basically lived in the forest fighting fiends and honing her skills and spending time with her father listening to his stories.
Similar to her sister she loved the stories of the summoners and the guardians. But she was more interested in the guardian side of of the story. She learned the katana because of her fathers hero sir Auron, and martial arts from her father.
Besides training to be a "guardian" for her sister she also was a second mother to Shion. Always taking care of her. She cared greatly for her little sister and would die for her of she had to.

Arriving in Besaid

[Venom]

Name:Nily
Age:17
Sex: Female
Hair Color: Blonde
Eye color: Brown
Appearance:
Weapon: White Magic, And blunt force trauma! (Seriously she isnt afraid to bust a staff over a skull!)
Any Armor: "Some ceremonial stuff in a case.....that I am NOT wearing."
Biography: Hailing from a Djose, or well more or less. Her father is a Die hard historian, Believes that the sorry state the temple was in was a travesty. Dedicating his funds his time, even his love into restoring it. In her younger years she was field with wonder at the stories of summoners and Guardians and the eternal tragedy that was sin. How the world constantly lived in plight, and how these "Heroic" people would throw their lives away in the attempt to soothe the worlds sin.

"Delusions of grandeur and ritualistic sacrifice..."

Her wonder began to change to understanding, and a step further....Disappointment. Why her father drilled into her head the methods of summoning, She began to shirk the studies of the summons and focus more on the white magics. Its theory treated closer than black magic to her own "Required" reading, so she could dabble in it with little suspicion.
By the time she was 16, her father caved to her "rebellious" faze and allowed her to study as she wished. But her study is completly unrelated to magics, it was the truth. How much of history is a fabrication, just how much of life is a lie? As if to ease the wound, she did begin wearing a ring that represented Ixion...But then again playing it off as a attraction to unicorn's was probably in her plans already, but there is an odd comfort in the tales of the aeon...perhaps a reminder of her blissful ignorance?

Personality: A pessimist, but when you think about what could possibly be existence and how everything that the world knew recently WAS WRONG.....*she inhales deeply*
In short she thinks about everything, and what one thing means in the relation of another. She struggles greatly with first encounters, and physical contact is particularly troubling. She seldom speaks about her opinion's and or thoughts simply for the fact she doesn't want to go through the trouble of explaining it all.
On a positive side, she keeps most of her emotion in check, knowing that scenarios only go more and more cataclysmic as people loose control! The more she knows about a person the better she can connect, and really understand...If you really are worth knowing.
Are you arriving in Besaid or Living there? Arriving, completely unrelated to the sport....
