Posted. Everyone has arrived in Deling City and there will be time for a little exploration before we carry on the plot. So feel free to do whatever with your characters. Chill out at the hotel, shop or just go general sightseeing if you like.
Just don't get lost in the Tomb of the Unknown King
Also if anyone is wondering Asa is at the Presidential Residence at the moment. So not really available to interact with yet. But I mighhhhht bring her out to meet someone she doesn't know in the group if the posting speed improves.
So here is the character sheet! Supposedly final edition. From here on all I'm gona be doing is probably find a better picture for the revolver.
Name: Rachel Zoran Age: 19 (Seed since 17) Gender: Female Appearance: Short black hair with green eyes. Usually has a serious expression on her face, but is otherwise friendly looking.
Nationality: Balamb Trained At: Trabia Garden Weapon/Combat Style: While her forte isn’t exactly close contact combat, Rachel utilizes a revolver with a blade attached to the barrel. That way she can use it to shoot at people from distance and stab and slash things when they get too close.
The revolver.
Limit Break: Boundary field of continued existence. – When pushed to the sheer limit along with her team, Rachel will unleash a small field around herself and her allies where she will use healing spell such as cura, curaga and life. Assuring the continued existence of her team so to say. It last for a few seconds and by the end her allies should be pretty much in perfect condition. Personality: Overly serious most of the time and can’t take a joke. Generally prefers to follow her orders and leaves improvisation as a last resort. Still part of that comes from the fact that she is mostly support oriented and not the strongest front line fighter. That’s why she prefers to be behind her allies, aiding them in any way she can. From blinding and silencing the enemy to chugging recovery items at her team. As such she isn’t above shooting an enemy in the back if the mission calls for it. Rachel likes to read books when she isn’t on a mission and to lazy around in bed wearing clothes that are comfortable to lazy around with… such as pajamas, huge baggy shirts etc… Additionally it’s easy to get on her good side by presenting her with a brib… I mean gift. Stuff like sweets and plushies work perfectly to make her forget if she is angry at you. Biography: Rachel joined Trabia Garden at a very early age. Originally born in the town of Balamb, her family just couldn’t take care of her due the rough situation the family was at the time. Both the parents weren’t working at the time and they were starving. It was at that time that Rachel showed unusual affinity for working with medicine. She was helping a store keeper at Balamb by cleaning the place and arranging the inventory. It wasn’t much, but with the small amount of money she got, her family could at least have some food on the table. Eventually her parent’s couldn’t bare the fact that they couldn’t give their child a good living. At that time Rachel was already old enough to enter Garden. Problem was that at present they were told it wasn’t possible for Rachel to join Balamb Garden, so they send her to Trabia Garden instead. At Trabia Rachel used every chance to learn about medicine from the Garden’s doctor. Additionally while it turned out she lacked the body of a martial fighter, Rachel appeared to have been a natural shooter as she had steady hands and good eyesight. She passed the training for firearms and while she has the skill to fire rifles, she still prefers her old trusty revolver. At present she has no news from her family and she isn’t planning on searching them any time soon as she has almost forgotten them entirely. She doesn’t even remember their faces anymore. The only person she remembers from Balamb is Hector Thanos with whom they knew each other as children and later met again as Seeds during a mission. They immediately clashed due their personalities, but pretty much made up again a few minutes afterwards as Hector knows the way to deal with her when she is angry. Still since then they are known to be friends, but some people make the joke they are like an old married couple. Fighting at one moment and completely forgetting what the fight was the next moment and making up right away. Additional information: Rachel has a reputation of : Cold Angel. As she appears angelic when she goes to aid her team with her healing abilities, but then proceeds to coldly critique and lecture them about the mistakes they made.
GF: Castanica Appearance: When summoned, a crack appears in the space in front of the summoner. From that crack, multiple hand like things rush though, widening it enough to allow Castanica to appear through. Castanica herself looks rather humanoid if not the fact she is completely covered in darkness and wrapped in what appears to be some kind of black chains and cloth. While there exist other more monstrous GFs, Castanica is quite disturbing in the way she acts. Bound by those chains, she shakes violently as if trying to escape, while shouting through the things blocking her mouth. To most it appears as if the GF is cursing everything around her. There have been speculations that that’s not it’s original form and that Castanica originally wasn’t bound by the darkness and may in fact have been some form of light GF as proven by the life magic refine she gives. What has transpired to drive that GF into the madness and be bound forever by the chain of darkness is unclear.
Rachel calls the summoning: Madman’s prayers. As once summoned, Castanica would start shouting in a language long forgotten, causing enemies around to suffer negative afflictions such as silence, blindness, berserk, confusion, sleep and slow, while doing some amount of damage as her shouts cause the head's of the enemies to hurt. Elemental Affinity: Darkness. Junctions: Castanica allows Rachel to junction magic to both status attack and status defense. Abilities: Status recovery magic refine and Life magic refine.
Not to steal the thunder from this to... But doing this story makes me want to bring back the one I've done on the old Rpg site FFVIII war of the SeeDs or FFX The final Atonement anyone interested? I'm still doing this one just saying. Both of these eps take place after the main story
So to the co-GM: is my sheet approuved?! *makes puppy eyes* Cause I really want to start writing :3
Sorry! I must have completely missed your post. :3 Your CS is accepted, no problems here. Please post your sheet in the Character section and Lennon will add you into our roster.
Have you got an idea on how to integrate your character into the plot? We've just arrived in Deling City with a couple of new arrivals so you can work yourself in as a recruited SeeD for the mission. If you need a synopsis for the plot so far let me know.
Phew, I can't wait to be done with these night shifts. I feel like Bagpuss in the day I swear all I do is sleep.
Nice... I will go ahead and post the cs now ^_^ as for the how to intergrate the character. Well I was thinking she will be arriving as a reiforcement... but from trabia so the difference in time of arrival. She will arrive slightly later, but I will be writing any posts tomorrow at least cause....
well Im doing a bloody nightshift myself right now. I work at a net cafe which means I have constant pc access all night, but... Some pretty problematic clients are here and well let's just say after dealing with a drunk client I barely ahve enough desire to even stay up anymore...
Helioes(caits character is from Trabia and just arrived, )perhaps Rachel just finished a mission in DC and instead of heading back to Trabia is redirected to this group?
could be, heck it could be she was already on route back to trabia when she was informed she has to get back to DC. will decide what exactly will it be tomorrow. When I can think straight again

Oh geez that sounds like the worst. Drunk people can be right dickheads. It's alright to have a good time, but you shouldn't harass other people in the process.
As for me, I've been having problems with the ventilator not doing its job of well, ventilating. -.- I'm an ITU nurse so fixing the darn thing has been giving me more grief than I'd like. At least my patient was still ok and able to cope whilst I fixed it.
will decide what exactly will it be tomorrow. When I can think straight again
Sounds like a plan. I'm pretty frazzled too so we'll hold off on SRS plot talk til tomorrow.
-noms on a sammich totally lost.
Sounds like you need a little help there. XD I'll write up a synopsis on here tomorrow to help get everyone up to speed on what we've done and where we're heading plotwise.
good... cause as much as I want to read the whole story( and I will do that evenentaully.) for now It would be good thing to get a summery of what has transpired to this point.
as for why rachel arrives at different time and different route, Im thinking maybe she had finished a mission in DC, probably something undercover and now she was headed towards Trabia. But in a more runabout way. First south and then through the brige towards FH. Then she was supposed to get a ship north towards balamb and then to Trabia. Im thinking maybe she recieved the new mission when she arrived at FH so she had to rush back to DC. What do you think?
A good idea would be to read the plot summary Lennon wrote on the first page of the OOC. He writes in depth about the story leading up to Timber, so I'll overview that and go into more detail on recent events.
So, the world is largely the same as FF8's with a few notable exceptions. The main characters of the game obviously don't exist, and this extends to some other side characters including Sorceresses and Headmaster Cid, where an OC substitutes their role instead. This helps to just make the experience a lot fresher.
The RP starts in a very similar vein to FF8. Duncan (an instructor like Quistis) accompanies his class of students (including active members Xerox, Syrus and Eika) to their SeeD test in Dollet. Their objective differs from the main game, but ultimately, they encounter a Galbadian officer (Asa) and the radio they're trying to repair. A battle rages on the tower Asa has Duncan captive, and ultimately Asa chooses to retreat into a Galbadian Warship, which chases the SeeD members off. What changes here to the main game is that the radio tower is destroyed and not functioning.
SeeD manage to escape, but a call is made from Galbadian to raze Dollet the ground. So in this universe Dollet now no longer exists. Due to Galbadia's control over most of the world, expect propaganda about the whole thing.
So the SeeD return to the Garden, both their duties fulfilled and yet resulting in an ultimate failure. Duncan loses his Instructor job and is given a new one where he has to lead future operations in Galbadia, and the next day they're given a mission to aid a rebel faction within the Galbadian army. They're sent to Timber where they meet a Faction Liason (Mei and her brother) and they are given a mission to kidnap a high ranking Major in the Galbadian Army. Cue the mission taking place at the Headquarters in Timber, a lot of bloodshed and a few injured SeeDs and a couple of dead ones.
Ultimately they succeed and Wiggs is captured and interrogated for information. Duncan is informed of the next objective, which will take place in Deling City. So with the field team chosen, they embark on the train and head for the city, where they prepare for their next debriefing.
So that's (roughly) the story so far. Lennon has already stated OOC that we're going to assassinate the President as the next objective, so the event is going to play out a bit like the Sorceress parade, but without the Sorceress.
So yeah. Phew. Anyone still lost on any particular point, please let me know as I would like to see some posting before Lennon comes back. If you can't post soon give us a head's up here. If you don't...well...
Expect to be thrown into the Tomb of the Unknown King. Ohohoho.
Hmm...we have only just arrived in DC rivaan so the times of arrival don't really differ. She can easily have just completed a mission in DC and been told to stay undercover until Duncan and co arrive. We can organize some kind of rendezvous with your character somewhere in the city maybe?
well that works! * gives the thumbs up* I'm thinking she most likely has a hideout within DC if she was on a mission there already. Hey she may even have been observing all the nonsensible waste of a parade being prepared. Like seriously that parade was soo overdone >_> I liked the music though.
All hail @Lennon79 the survivor! Well on the ground scheme of things you didn't miss anything important. eart still spinning, politicians are still greedy buggers( mostly) and people still kill people.
Well the rest are finally in DC and Im still trying to decide how to join them.
