[OOC] Final Fantasy VIII: Tempus Veneficarum [7/10 Slots]

[FVGT]

I doubt that any of us here are sexist, thus, it'd probably be fine.

[soren]

Lol well I wasn't sure if it would be accepted story wise.

[soren]

Name: Syrus
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Appearance: He is a tall male about 5’11” with normal cut flame red hair. His eyes are an unnatural emerald green and he hides much of his self inside a black trench coat with gold trim that is coupled with black boots and pants. His shirt is red with gold trim as well. He also always seems to have a tooth pick in his mouth.

Nationality: Esthar.
Trained At: Trabia, and Balamb
Weapon/Combat Style: Since he has had to fend for himself most of his life he has wielded many weapons until they have broken. One day he happened across a set of rare gunblades and began to train with them. Ever since he has dual wielded these gunblades and hopes that one day he will be able to upgrade the parts to make them even better.
Limit Break: Lock, Load, and Slash: this limit break works a lot like squalls Renzokuken as in it has finishing moves along with the initial damage and trigger actions. The first finishing move is blast twister. Syrus tucks both blades in close and energizes them. He begins to spin like a twister, flying off into the enemies firing off energy while slashing up the enemies.

Personality: At first he seems anti-social, but as he works with people he will become close to them as he has never had a family or any friends because he has been on the run. He also talks to himself or fire whenever he thinks he is alone but has been caught several times. Little does anyone know that he revieces the other end of the conversation.
Biography: ((To the party he is Syrus, but before he was Syrus his name was Hyperion.)) To start Syrus (Hyperion) has been an expirenment of Dr. Odine’s since he was born. His mother died and there was no father that they could find within the city of Esthar but no one dare venture into the outside world to find him if he did exist. Dr. Odine called him the first of the sorcerers. Just like with the sorcereress’ he could wield magic with ease, even though he never likes to most of the time. Odine tested him as much as he could until finally the boy Syrus (Hyperion) couldn’t handle anymore. One night he ran using his magic to escape, Odine never bothered to lock him up properly because he did not see the boy as a threat. Bypassing all security and getting out quietly he managed to get out and head towards Trabia garden. There he was taken in and trained. He did not reveal his nature to anyone and hid his natural abilities well. He had picked up the gunblades before coming to the Trabia garden and was taught well until he turned sixteen. A squad of men came looking for him. He realized who they were, even though they had disgused themselves. He then ran leading them away. He managed to get to the ocean and faught a couple of them before jumping in and swimming away. He faked drowing when he was far enough out and the men thought he was lost to the sea.
Stuck out in the water, no one around and with night upon him he tried to swim back to shore but shivering from the cold he actually did start to drown. Shortly after he blacked out and thought to himself that he was dieing. Suddenly he heard a voice. The voice told him that he would be delivered from this place and to somewhere he would be safe. He then felt himself rise and be pushed from the water onto the sand. Catching glimpses of a serpent in he again blacked out in the sand. He was later found by a couple from the near by town and was taken to the Garden for care as they thought he came from there due to his weapons. The nurse brought him back from the brink and then he meet with Headmaster Cid. In his office they discussed a great many things like how he had symbols of Trabia garden and was found of the beach here. He finally gave up and found only one answer to his problems. He showed Headmaster Cid what he could do and Cid was stunned. He then took the boy under his wing and helped him hide with in his new home of the Balamb Garden. From hence forth he was no longer Hyperion he was instead Syrus and Cid enrolled him right away.
Now in present time when he has just turned nineteen Syrus is preparing for the final exam in which he must finish the written part of the exam. Syrus had already taken the GF part of the exam in which Cid took him to a special area in the fire cavern where he fought the GF Phoenix and won.

Should have said this earlier, but Cid isn't going to be playing a big role in this RP, same as a lot of canon characters. Most of them will still be there in the background, but for story purposes the roles they take in the game will often be filled by OCs. Although sometimes OCs... have accidents.
But yeah, accepted :D
Also, there's a QQCode cheatsheet at the bottom of the page, for all your formatting needs.

[Rin]

Hmmm... I can't get anything to work, so I guess I'll drop out. Sorry.

[Lennon79]

Your CS is half done and wouldn't take much to finish Rin. Are you sure? If it's inspiration you're having trouble with, I'd be more than happy to help.

[Little_ninja]

I would like to ask
Still recruiting?
I'd like to join if you are

[soren]

Awesome! And yeah sorry I was just using him for background purposes. Same as Dr Odine. But yeah I won't us OCs anymore.

[Lennon79]

No worries; as I say, some canon characters will still be there, albeit in the background for the most part.
Ninja, sure. Fill out a CS and we'll go from there.

Rest coming later



Name:
Lance Cryor

Age:
18

Gender:
Male

Nationality:
Galbadian

Trained At:
Galbadia

Weapon/Combat Style:
Yamato/Swordsmanship Specialist: Lance is a very accomplished swordsman, carrying and utilizing a katana. He has a lot of lightning fast attacks and combos that overwhelm the opponent. He can close in and attack from long distances with top speed despite his blade's length. His powerful attacks are followed by another damaging assault, sometimes leaving the opponent hard to recover; his chained strikes are stylish and damaging; overall, he turns into a whirling top of destruction when in battle. Lance is renowned as a expert of Iai (居合, Drawing and Resheathing) — a style of swordsmanship which involves the user rapidly unsheathing his blade to slash the enemies, and then re-sheathing it after completing the attack.

Limit Break: And what do they do once they've been smacked around a bit? Get creative on this one.

Personality:
Lance's disposition is a strange one, for he possesses an inherent amount of emotion despite what is viewed. His facial expression reveals an initially callous demeanor and is antagonistic to everyone he meets. However; there is more to his antagonistic nature than simply dismissing the presence of these individuals, but rather, he possesses an upfront behavior when dealing with them. He believes in one to be upfront, for without providing knowledge to your own intentions, you are thought to be a coward without any honor. Yet he remains calm and contempt, only ever letting his voice be heard with nothing but a soft whisper, yet even then, it possesses a ferocity that will cause them to immediately comply to any of his demands, regardless of their extent.

Lance possesses a very refined sense of manners. He appears to be very calm when talking to others, and normally quite respectful despite what one would expect of him. He uses the honorifics "-san", "-sama" and "-dono" quite frequently when referring to individuals of his own status, as he determines through their power. With others, he refers to them simply by their first name, or last name if he has no knowledge of their first name. What is intriguing about his mannerisms is that they are fit to hold conversation with some of the finest of individuals. Contrary to what one may believe, Lance holds a knack for conversation when a particular topic intrigues him, though he'll never be the one to initiate it.

Regardless of his traits, Lance is a young man with a cunning that very few are able to rival. His genius is, not at formulating excellent plans, but choosing the best two plans out of the many he thinks of. He uses these to create a primary plan of action, and a contingency plan, just in case. He is also far more deceptive than he makes out to be, and is able to deceive even experienced opponents with very simple tactics.

Biography: A couple of paragraphs detailing their history, nothing too fancy.

Additional information:
Lance was trained extensively in the art of battle, mathematics, and history.
Despite the attraction he regularly receives from women, Lance is adamant on only falling for the "one".
Understands an basic knowledge on engineering and intermediates on black-smithing enough to keep his and his friends weapons at quality level.

GF:
Avianus

Appearance:
Beauty

Elemental Affinity:
Wind

Junctions:
Avianus increases Lance's speed, and reflexes. He also gains a small boost to his coordination.[/B]

Abilities:
[I]Initiative, and Alert. Avianus can create varying wind attacks that leaves areas decimated or support wind magic to help Lance or his teammates.

[Lennon79]

I like what I see so far, just one minor nitpick. Since they're all just students, they wouldn't be masters of any martial arts just yet; experienced practitioners certainly, but not masters. Their skills and abilities will evolve over the course of the plot so in the future they can be. All characters need to be weak and inexperienced enough to make mistakes and lose from time to time in the beginning, 'cause trust me, they will.

[Little_ninja]

Cool
I am fairly busy today
I will make it some time tonight

Squall, and Zell were considered "masters" of their respective fighting styles and still lost quite a bit. I mean I akin it to Black Belts. Trained since god knows when to reach Black Belt 1st level but still has a long way to go. I know what you are saying. Just two different thought patterns. I thought of it as the fact that students are trained from a very young age and he's able to master an aspect of his swordsmanship which has only made him accomplished but still has ways to go. I understand though. Change and finish things later.

[Little_ninja]

Sorry
I will need another day
Since it is so late when I got home today
It's a one off long day, so yeah.
I'll have my CS up tomorrow, guaranteed (tomorrow for me)

[Shiinen]

My CS will be up by today or tomorrow morning! I had to dig back into a bit of FFVIII terms and stuff to get my bio going. I hope a Junction-egocentric fighting style will be alright...;;

[Lennon79]

I might need you to explain what you mean by that, but I doubt it'll be a problem.

[FVGT]

I believe what she meant was that she's going to rely solely on either the Guardian itself or the abilities/bonuses it gives.

[FVGT]

DOUBLE POSTS ARE DUMB

[Shiinen]

Not quite- GM-SENPAI. CAN I HAVE A PET PUPU. PLEASE.

[Lennon79]

Hm... I'm going to say that you can have a dead pet PuPu. 'Cause I fucking hate that thing :D
