I've started working on a CS as well!

I've settled on a name for now, Akamu, and I'm going to have him hail from one of the smaller islands in Accadia. If it's relevant for other folk, I'm aiming to portray the islands of Accadia(or at least the smaller ones) similar to Hawaii, with a lot of relaxed ocean life vibes- and a dash of overbearing corporate tourism

@vietmyke

Awesome! I was thinking of having Accadia for my character as well, and I had the same idea as you! I'm thinking the southern parts could be like you said - Hawaii, or maybe something like French Polynesia, Bahamas. And then, maybe the norther parts are a bit cooler in temperature, but still warm. And yes, a big source of income for the country would be tourism, party islands stuff.

Oops, just saw now that @Theyra called dibs. May I know who how many Dominants are left / what you would like to know if a player wants to propose a Dominant?

An aside - I realized why the vibe was somewhat familiar. I applied to Bleak Centauri years ago (made a character for Quetzlcoatl), which turns out to be yours as well.

@rabidbacon

Yess, this is evolved Bleak, indeed.

All Regalia can use 'regular' magic associated with the Dominant's element, even in their human form. The 'ability' listed on the Dominant banners is really only for narrative purposes, cool scenes, and such.

The character concept is fine. There's really no "dibs", but if you really feel strongly about Valefor, I can make a new one that is similar. As for what's left: I don't think anyone has specifically called mentioned Shiva, Leviathan, Garuda, and some others. But, then again, I don't know what everyone is going for. I made a separate one for myself so I wouldn't hog any of the choices.

I only ask because a Bahamut Regalia might not want to turn into a 85 foot dragon. In scenarios like fighting in an office building it might get cramped to get so big, for example.

@Sanity43217

Indeed what Aeolian said: your character can use magic native to their Dominant without Crystals. But, yes, the size of the Dominants do offer some interesting narrative situations.

Regalia

@Mirandae Hi, I still exist! I'd like to reserve Ramuh for my Dominant of choice, but I do have a question: In his description its stated his Regalia appears as a man when transformed, could they appear female instead while keeping the rest of the aesthetics the same?

@Sylvan

I should've mentioned this I think: the apparent gender of the Dominant doesn't have to match the character. Ramuh is depicted as male in teh Final Fantasy games, but if it's an aesthetic request, I could see to doing a female version, no problem :)

Thinking either Bahamut's "nothingness" domain or Odin's "desolation." I wanna take a superpower culturally perceived as belonging to "good guys" (in my case, healing magic) and have it operate in a mechanically brutal way with a great capacity for cruelty. (I'm basically envisioning a form of time magic, where the subject's physiological and temporal processes can be accelerated or otherwise fucked with so that they are reverted to an unharmed state..... either before they ever got injured at all or long after they've already healed, all in the blink of an eye. Kind of a darker, grittier Crazy Diamond.) Of course, this being basically some kind of "entropy power," she could also rust locked doors off their hinges, hide bodies by withering them to dust (ie. supernaturally advancing their decomposition), etc.

Dunno how "fair" or balanced the powers are gonna have to be in this game so I'm just throwing the concept out there for your quick approval before sinking real time into this ✌️

Either way, very, very cool thread, to which I wish only the best!

@TokyoPewPew

Sounds cool! As for fair: I'll post the combat details later, after we've started the in-character. Combat will be split into a "narrative" part and the "fair" part. What you describe can certainly fit both parts if it's a type of healing that reverses the state of something. It does fall into the category of being "cruel" if it also hurts for the person, which is natural, right? Healing is kind of painful.

Regalia are not immune to Dominant effects from others unless there is some magic that makes them immune to a specific thing. There will be some of that in the "fair" game.

I think I will go with Valefor, though I cannot view his pic/info on the OOC for some reason.

@Theyra

I updated the graphic yesterday (for me yesterday), but I reuploaded it now. Refresh and see if you can see it.

Can Regalia use Crystals for magic?

@Sanity43217

Hm, interesting question. I suppose they technically could, even if they don't need to. Perhaps there would be some kind of conflict with their Dominant if the Crystal is based on a rival Dominant. I'll have to ponder this.

Regalia

Kinda tempted to join if you have the room, that is.

@Theyra

There is no decided cast, so feel free to read the stuff and ponder a character. It's always a bit of a roulette as to who shows up from the interest check, who is interested that hasn't said anything, and how many that fall off.

Regalia

<Snipped quote by Mirandae>

Agreed! FFX Wakka vibes? lol

@Aeolian

YES, that's what I was thinking! :P

Regalia

Normally I love lightning based themes- but I think I'm gonna make a character with the earth element! I'm thinking sorta golden retriever dudebro energy- maybe used to be a surfer before becoming recognized

@vietmyke

Feels like a character you'd definitely run into in an actual Final Fantasy game.

@Sylvan@Silly@Teyao@Aeolian@vietmyke@Ti@Mole@TokyoPewPew@Tlaloc

The person and aesthetic of your character does not have to match your Dominant choice. Just because your character is the brooding type doesn't mean that they should have the 'dark' element Dominant. So, don't feel limited by this.

Your character's Fame is somewhat affect by your Dominant choice. If you choose a Dominant with a 'global' cult, then it's difficult for your character to be an unknown. However, your character doesn't necessarily have to like that they are famous. In fact, I think most Regalia do not enjoy that aspect of it.

If you absolutely don't feel any of the Dominant choices, then speak with me and we'll fix it.

All the stuff about Combat will be added a bit later, closer to the first fight in the story. This gives me more time to complete the graphics, and it won't overwhelm your character creation process.

I can create as much art for your character as you want. I'll probably spam the thread here with art of my own character, so don't be shy. Hopefully we get some AI wizards that join us that can also do this.

This is about your character's personality and behavior. It can also be about how other people might feel in the presence of your character, the 'aura' so to speak. Further, this can be about how your character communicates, how they make decisions, how they interact with things, and maybe how they use language. It is up to you how much of this you go through here. If you want to be mysterious, then keep it vague.

_{C H R O N I C L E}

This is your character's story so far. You can tell it in any way you like, but the basic requirement is at least some noteworthy events. Also include when and how they became Regalia. This transformation is so personal that it could be anything. However, if you are unsure of your idea, then check it with me first.

This is a section about your character's place of birth. Choose a nation on the map, and then describe whatever you want about its language, culture, history, traditions, and climate. If you choose the same nation as another character, then you can coordinate with that player. You may use real world comparisons to make it easy for the reader.

Likes, dislikes, and random interesting things about your character.

If you want previous relations with the other characters, it can be disclosed here. This section could also be for general comments about the other characters, if your character knows them. This section is optional.
