[Shiinen]

;A;

B-But I want one that's alive! Pupus are so cute...;.;

[Lennon79]

I normally love cute things, but PuPu... I just wanted to kick the bloody thing. Moogles too, oddly enough...

[Shiinen]

...Welp. I'm nabbing a pet moogle.

And I'm going to name it Save Point.

[Lennon79]

Nuu, save points are all weird twirling spherical things!
And we have a Moogle already, as a GF. Mog, I should say.

[Shiinen]

FF- ...I was looking through these and didn't see them. Q.Q ...Welp. Pet PuPu named Nom-Nom it is.

[FVGT]

My character would probably want to eat it up!

Literally.

As in, Devouring it.

[soren]

Bwahaha this is hilarious

[Shiinen]

God, you alien haters. I need to keep my poor baby safe. Only way is to make him able to use Ultima when he's fed Elixers!

[FVGT]

[Shiinen]

Kay before I screw this up and all that, here.

Name: Eika Munashii
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Appearance:

Picture!

Black hair flows to a crimson at the tips, traversing down her waist and reaching just above her knees in total length. Crimson eyes gave out over the opposition before her -- the entirety of her life as a whole. This is Eika. She has fair skin, the average complextion one could receive from spending a chunk of time outside each day for training. Her attire when not being forced into the official uniform of Balamb Garden is that of a festival-like yukata/dress decorated with blossoming flowers. Stopping at the knees, she wears black lace-up boots with red stockings underneath-- mostly in order to try and up her 5'6'' height to a 5'10'' to the best of her capabilities. Her hair is tied back with both a ribbon and a tie consisting of light and dark red beads as a good luck charm.
Nationality: Hails from Dollet
Trained At: Balamb
Weapon/Combat Style:
Orb Junctioner Specialist: Eika uses a quartet of junctioned orbs that she is able to channel magic through. She has a minor lack in physical combat, and thus makes up for it with range. These orbs also enable her to junction magic into beams in order to concentrate their power (and element) into specific areas, rather than rendering them wild attacks. Should magic be unavailable to her, she is able to manipulate this quartet of orbs in order to provide blunt damage in order to keep enemies away from her.

Limit Break: Paranoia - Upon reaching a state of Crisis, Eika enters a "Calm Time", rather than inducing panic into herself in a negative fashion. Raising three of her orbs up behind her, she forms a triangle with them that junctions and ceases time around her for a series of moments. During this time, she consciously shatters her fourth orb to release the pent-up magic in it in order to induce major damage to surrounding enemies and inflict "Hexes" onto them, alternatively placing them on allies.

Depending on what the element of her last attack used, the Hex she casts has a different effect:

Damaging/Negative-based Hexes are applied to enemies.
Curse of Rage - Fire-based. Inflicts targets with Berserk and Blindness.
Curse of Drowning - Ice-based. Inflicts targets with Slow and Silence.
Curse of Terror - Thunder-based. Inflicts targets with Stop.
Curse of Gaspless - Wind-based. Negates buffs currently present and pierces through wind defenses/reflect.

Positive-based Hexes
Soothing Voice - Cure-based. Begins to slowly Regen any damage that afflicted targets have suffered.
Cheering Voice - Speed-based. Casts Haste on all allies.
Worried Voice - Defense-based. Casts Protect/Shell on all allies.
Cleansing Voice - Remedy-based. Removes debuffs from all allies.
God's Voice - Applicable at any time. Reawakens KO'd allies.

Personality:
Pride is a factor in regards to her Specialization. As one who junctioned not one, but four magic-eating conceptual sources to herself. Eika is a girl that has the capacity to be a leader, but has two flaws that make her suffer from it: a terrible time talking to people in normal conversations and unconventional concepts of normality. As a result, she is rendered unable to lead a conversation -- nervous ticks including her hugging her Orbs or squeezing Nom-Nom in order to gain up the ability to speak on her own methods that she'd like to give a shot. Rarely is she provoked into outbursts, but it's considered to be quite scary when she is.

There's a defense mechanism that she developed because of this -- nervousness is overcome in combat situations or Garden-related activites by inducing a "Calm Time" into herself. This "Calm Time" is a method of literally wiping thoughts from her mind in order to act efficiently and without morals. While able to be snapped out of this, it's a bit...harder to do than one would think. Should she be snapped out of this, she will to the job to the best of her abilities, but she becomes much more "cautious" -- careful, despite the fact that some would call it cowadice.

Outside of that, she is actually quite protective of her fellow classmates, even if most use her little "guru" occupation within the school for details of their love lives. ...She doesn't mind it. She likes having the ability to talk to someone in those instances without being afraid that her words will be judged too terribly.

Biography:
Born in Dollet Town, Eika was raised in a family of people that believed moreso in spiritual concepts than technology. Her life was simplistic. Her time was spent reading of the many scriptures, books, files, notes that her mother and her father wrote. It was a humble little existence in a humble home with a humble atmosphere. Of course it changed. Of course it was aggravated by the pitiful excuses of human beings that came from the woodworks and did their deeds.
A terrible thing, isn't it? To wave goodbye to the father that raised you in the morning, and hold to the disappointing news that he had been assaulted -- nearly lynched to a point -- for the unconventional beliefs that he held. Technophiliacs, obsessed with the ideal that technology could and would sustain the world, held contempt for the man and his family that believed that spiritualism and greater powers would inevitably be the cause for humans to advance in the world.

It was because of this that Eika joined the Garden. Because she grew up ridiculed for what she was taught, for the pains her father went through, and for the pity that she felt for her parents for having to live in fear of what would happen to her if they were harmed. She couldn't stand being coddled for her own safety -- being trapped in her home in order to keep her away from the bad people that disliked her family's old-fashioned ideals. So she joined Balamb Garden, only to find her first year rather disheveling. So much technology around, her inability to find a Specialization of her own, the general lack of friends from not being able to speak to anyone out of lack of experience in associating with others...It was a lonely year, to say the least.

But...there was one instance that made it better for her. A complex amalgamation was found -- a singular Sphere that was kept contained for a time due to its strange nature of junctioning any Draw Points found on the campus or from students unaware. Most left it alone -- technology unable to explain it for the life of what it could be -- and she begged, and she begged, until her pleas bounced from instructor to instructor to allow her to see it. Knowledge of her own culture taken into account, the Headmaster allowed it for the sake of not wanting to crush the poor girl's desires. And that is what made the connection between her and this inexplicable existence that the Garden had found.

A single touch -- her hand placed on the surface of the Sphere -- Junctioned it to her and her alone. The Sphere broke into four pieces when it hit the floor, reforging into four orbs that circulated around her body at the mere gesture of her hand or the thought of where she wanted it to go. Yes, like a Guardian Force, the orb acted. It was a condensed physical manifestation of the magic that every student in the Garden was able to draw from natural resources, yet for her...It functioned with actual purpose. Through them, she could draw magic, condense it into a more powerful form, and release it faster, quicker, more efficiently than mere normal Junctions were allowed. And thus, she became the first Orb Specialist, with this new "weapon" taken into account. It was a blessing in the strangest of ways, at that.

A way to defend herself.

A way to prove that her beliefs were not something to be tossed aside.

If technology could not explain and control the existence of such, yet her capacity to Junction it into four separate entities and turn it into something combat-able, the spiritualism she held dear to the heart moreso than most had some kind of basis to it, did it not?

Her goal as of then on was to become a SeeD -- to graduate from Balamb Garden and become a high-standing figure in order to show her family back in Dollet Town that there would be no need to fear anymore. To not call her beliefs idiocy. Quite literally so, to have what her life had grown on be something that others could accept as a potential reality.

Additional information:
- Owns a Pupu voodoo doll named Nom-Nom that was junctioned to her. He is able to carry a single item on him that can be used on Eika in the event that she's too busy. She loves him very much.
- Has a fascination with Chocobos.
- Suffers from a combination of nerve disassociation with her skin (at times rendering her unable to feel) and hypersensitive skin.
- Many people believe she's some sort of "voodoo priest" or "shaman" and ask for her to tell them their fortunes in life. Her payment comes in the form of either gill or junctioning over magic into her orbs. The catch is that she's always right.
GF: Visionary
Appearance:


Elemental Affinity: Non-Elemental; Status Ailment: Silence
Junctions: Visionary offers Magic-related benefits and gives it's user better resistances to status ailments. When Summoned, Visionary's eyes act as a "basilisk's" gaze, causing damage to enemies and attempting to Petrify them. While Visionary is summoned, Eika is immune to being Blinded or Silenced.
Abilities:
Extraction - Allows Eika to Junction from four enemies at once, rather than being limited towards one. She is able to Junction four times as much against a single target, twice on two targets, etc.
Med Mag-RF - Used to make mid-level magic from low-level magic.

[Lennon79]

That GF is absolutely terrifying. Just saying.
I'm not 100% on her having an alien as a pet to be honest; considering that there's only one in the canon and it's a right bastard to find, it's a bit far-fetched that a student would have one as a pet.
Hm... a PuPu-like thing would be acceptable, a robot (despite her technophobia) or voodoo doll or something, but having an actual sentient alien as a pet is a bit much... sorry.
Other than that, looks great.

[Little_ninja]

Name: Xerox Craft
Age: 16
Gender: Male
Appearance:

No tie, no cardigan. A lab coat on top of the jacket.

Nationality: Trabian
Trained At: Trabia
Weapon/Combat Style:
A toolbox/giant spanner. Xerox carries a toolbox which has a giant spanner. Usually using a giant spanner to fight, there are times he will use the toolbox itself or other tools normally found in a toolbox. If given enough time, he will use items he picks up in the environment or from enemies, to temporarily upgrade his spanner or his allies weapons. He may, create an assist robotic turret that flies around and assists in the battle as well. They are quick to break (for now) and may take a hit for Xerox.

Limit Break:
Rise of the Machines
Xerox will on the field make a number of machines. Making turrets, battle armaments, upgrade weapons, and make battle suits. Sometimes making battle suits with turrets inbuilt or superior robot turrets. Depending on the amount of time he has, he will make more and more machines. Minimally, his limit break will run for 20 seconds. It can run for up to a minute. (6 machines in 20 seconds for now)

Personality:
Xerox is a nice guy who is quite analytical. He likes being in groups, and likes talking. If someone brings up an idea for something that has the potential to be useful, Xerox will jump on the idea. A creative mind, with incentive, he will try to make anything. Successfully he has been known for upgrading and creating items. His inventions have been known to be a little ... excessive. However, he has good intentions. Most things don't bother him, however, do not say anything bad about his inventions, or call anything junk in front of him. Such things will make enrage him greatly.

Biography:

Abandoned at a very young age, Xerox does not know anything about his family, or how he came to be in Trabia. Raised by the Shumi in Shumi Village, he didn't have much to do there. It was a nice and peaceful time for him, and he liked it there. There was a Moomba, Rue, who was his best friend, and they would play together all the time.

One day, Xerox found some scraps of metal and other junk. Thinking about what they are, he put them together, and after some time, bolting, screwing, unscrewing and etc. Xerox was surprised by what he had made. It was small robot. It was walking around. Rue took up an interest in Xerox's ability, so he went and found lots more material for Xerox. At first, all he could make was robots. But as he started to understand more, and learn about more things, he made things like a reheat gun, a super cooling refrigerator and other items.

They were all purposeful, and had great use, except the fact they were made more powerful than necessary. The reheat needed only a second to reheat food to 140 degrees Celsius, and the super cooling fridge would cool boiling water to 4 degrees Celsius in a second. If they were used too long, the food would melt or the water becomes so cold, objects near it start to freeze. Of course it is not to say everything was like this. There were a few useful things like a jet-pack. As he made more items, he started to invent new things quicker and more efficiently in terms of material used

One day, he made a cleaning robot, which got a little out of control and ended up exploding. The Shumi in the village were enraged. Xerox was getting older, although they loved him, they could not deal with him at this point. They requested that Trabia Garden to take care of him and let him become a part of SeeD. Without his consent, he was sent to Trabia Garden, but Xerox was excited. For the first time he would meet other humans. Rue decided to tag along, and actually sticks close to him.

In Trabia Garden, he has learned to fight, and decided to use a giant spanner, since some of his inventions required one of that size. He keeps a toolbox for various other tools with him. He has upgraded and/or modified various weapons as well, and has learned how to use his hands so quickly that he is capable of doing these on the field. Very many know of his slightly eccentric behavior and inventions. One of his most proudest inventions is his teleportation gates.

Additional information:

GF: Varvadoss
Appearance:

When summoned, Varvadoss distorts the space of the area. It can leave enemies missing body parts, or apply a different set of physics to the field. It may give an elemental affect to the field as well, which will return to normal over time.

[Lennon79]

My God, we have a expy of a printer XD
Interesting so far, though you might need to explain how he manages to create functional robots in seconds.

[soren]

Well this is turning out to be a right montly crew!

[Little_ninja]

Genius crazy scientist with stocks of chips in his toolbox? (chips as in computer chips)

;w; Okay. I can just make it like Lulu's little sentient puppets in Final Fantasy 10 to make it a living doll. Pupu voodoo dolls it is. <3

And thank you. I like Visionary quite a bit. xD

EDIT: Oh look it's the opposite of Eika. A little technonerd. The timing.

[Lennon79]

Never played 10, but a voodoo PuPu will do.
Ninja, I'm still not 100% on that. Maybe he could have a handful of flatpacked robots he can deploy, but building them from scratch while someone's trying to kill him is a bit mad. How's that sound?
And btw Shiinen, accepted :3

[Shiinen]

And now the basis of a conversation with her.

"You've been in the cafe this whole time?!"

"I-I don't know how to work the vending machine...;~;"

[Little_ninja]

Well, I mean, it's part of the superhumanness of game characters. I mean, Zell punches out dolphins and meteors, and things like that.
Also, there's magic involved, I mean your character, Duncan, super hastes himself and FVGT's Ein freezes time. I don't see why being able to make machines from pieces of scrap metal and metal his collected in seconds be more far-fetched than those limit breaks.

Edit:
Shiinen are you referring to your character Eika not being able to use a vending machine?
If so, perhaps Xerox can create an automatic guidance manual gun for her! Turn it on, aim and shoot! Tadah! The gun will then start telling you how to use any device!
(By the way, if I am still on, every minute from now on, anything I post will probably get more crazy than the last somehow)

[Shiinen]

...You would literally give her a heart attack if you gave her one of those.

"AAAH WHAT IS THIS MAKE IT GO AWAY ;A; *THUNDARA*"
