Final Fantasy VIII: Tempus Veneficarum

Many centuries ago, the world lay at the mercy of the great Sorceress Hyne, first and most powerful of all Sorceresses. For many lifetimes she ruled the world with an iron fist, extinguishing all resistance with might and magic. After countless failed revolts, the people of the world united under one banner to overthrow Hyne and in a great battle that saw the death of thousands, the great Sorceress finally fell. But her power lived on, passed down to a handful of young women, a blessing and a curse. From these few Sorceresses all others would follow and the gift of magic was passed on from generation to generation.

In the present day true magic is rare, yet anyone with the right training can wield its distaff cousin; paramagic. Born of science rather than mysticism, paramagic is used for everything from warfare to powering cars. It relies on sources of energy, sometimes electricity, fossil fuels or more esoteric sources. The world stands at a crossroads and war is on the horizon; the great Republic of Galbadia continues it's decades long expansion across the western continent, prompting its neighbours the Dollet Dukedom and Balamb to prepare for the worst.

Balamb has no security forces, no army. It's only line of defense lies with Garden, the world's premier military academy. Garden recruits its best and brightest graduates into its own elite mercenary organisation, SeeD, famous for its deadly efficiency and use of the Guardian Force in combat. The GF, part magical battery, part guardian angel, provide SeeD operatives with phenomenal combat power and longevity.

With the world on the brink of a new war and hints of a mysterious presence behind the scenes, a class of Balamb Garden students is preparing for their final test, the last hurdle to becoming a SeeD. Now is their chance to prove themselves worthy, to earn their place alongside the best warriors in the world.

-----

In a nutshell this RP takes place at the beginning of the original FFVIII game, with the characters preparing for their field test to become SeeDs. From there the story will branch out to follow the original plot very, very loosely. At times I or a co-GM may contact players by PM to facilitate certain plot points, but that's far enough into the future that we don't need to worry just yet. There are player 8 slots, including myself. Anyone above and beyond 8 will be put on a waiting list in case anyone drops.

Rules


Oh how I love writing rules...
- While debate is always encouraged, GM's word is final. I won't be using this unless I absolutely have to though.
- It goes without saying, but no godmodding or controlling other people's characters without their express permission. Common courtesy boys and girls.
- No canon characters (even NPC characters will be OC) or expy characters. Please. This RP is about seeing the story from a different perspective. We don't need a Cyther or Kwiztiz.
- Romance is expected (Final Fantasy after all) and I'm not too fussed if it's yuri, yaoi or straight. Just keep it PG-13.
- If you are going to be away fro more than three days, tell us and we can work around it IC. Similarly, if you want to withdraw TELL US, don't just leave.
- This is a Casual/High-Casual RP, but I'm not expecting walls. Two to three paragraphs is a good average, if you can post more, great. If not, don't worry. So long as the content, spelling and grammar of your posts are up to scratch, I won't complain.
- Last but not least, enjoy yourselves! Don't be afraid to do crazy things! If I don't see at least one drunken T-Rexaur fight in this RP, I shall be deeply disappointed.



Story So far






To clarify, this section is months out of date. It will be updated... eventually...

---

Final Fantasy VIII: Tempus Veneficarum is an ongoing RP set in, unsurprisingly, the world of Final Fantasy VIII. We've been going for a few months now and have lost a few folk. The story has reached a perfect point for introducing new characters, so I'm opening up two or three slots for new characters. Here is the OOC, so come say hi.

I've honestly never played this game but would like to give this rp a shot if that's okay. Name: Zereph Blightsoul Age: 18 Gender: Male Appearance: (Standard/ usually what is worn) (Face) When Zereph is not wearing any armor he is wearing a black body suit that encases all but his head , sprinting shoes (which is worn inside of his armored boots). The body suit is durable and light weight , having padding along vital regions of his body and a fabric that grips easily onto items along his fingers and palm. Nationality: Balambian (honestly unsure of what to put here) Trained At: Balamb Weapon/Combat Style: Zereph typically fights with his sword , his strikes while not frequent , are effectively timed and used to provide maximum effect. Limit Breaker Style: Upon 'limit break' activation he attacks rapidly and frequently without mercy , ignoring his previous tactics for pure offence and frequency. He is known to attack the one who forced him into this state even after killing. Limit Break: Upon limit break Zereph releases a loud roar of pain and anger as he allows his rage to consume him. His armor breaks off of him leaving him in his body suit and sprinting shoes. His rather large long sword also seems to get thinner and slightly longer becoming more aerodynamic.This set up makes him extremely light weight however more prone to being injured/damage if he is hit. Personality: Zereph is highly anti-social. He tends to stick to himself and even when around a group of would-be-friends or associates he makes little to no comments, preferring to observe and take note instead of partaking in the events around him. He sees activities not directly associated with his goals as a waste of time. Biography: Like most students of Balamb trying to become a SeeD Zereph was an orphan. He had no recollection of his child hood and of course his parents. When he six he was found under a burning car after a large scale car crash which involved about seven other vehicles. This is when he lost both memories and his parents. He was strangely found unharmed, not a scratch on his body , not even a drop of blood. He was seen as the lucky one to some and the spawn of the devil to others by this strange fact. After investigations occurred and a few days in a hospital to be safe Zereph was put in a foster home. In that home he went by the name Jacob , the same name his original parents gave him. Yet , for some reason he felt no connection with this name. As time grew on he learned of the tragedy that had befallen he and his parents , yet even so still lacked any emotional conflict. He was a person with seemingly no heart to many due to this. This made people fear him , despite the fact he never did anything to harm anyone or give plausible reason to fear him. With time he joined the school in Balmb wanting to become a SeeD so that he could hopefully find some form of purpose in his life. On the day he was to write his name on his application , something whispered to him , it whispered a name : Zereph... This word more so than a name , struck him to be more fitting and serviceable than his birth name of 'Jacob'. He wrote that very name down and decided that would be his name forever more. Additional information: GF: Lucifer Appearance: Elemental Affinity: Dark Junctions: Enhances physical capabilities and provides minor physical support (occasionally attacks, mainly buffs.) Abilities: Souleater

Due to a few dropped players and being at a convenient place in the storyline, we have spaces open for new SeeDs.
