The Final Fantasy

[Quiksilver]

Question before I make my app: Could I make a character with Dice as his weapon, but he is a Mage who uses his Dice as a sort of Staff? (i.e. He rolls his dice and the role that comes off sets off a spell?)

[Navras]

@ Galesonic: like Atman said, change it so that you came across the void. Then you're accepted.

@SILYC: yes, your character can have dice as a weapon. However, since that is a rather unique weapon, i doubt there will be any at the store or anything like that. So, if you get a new weapon later on the RP that's like your original, it's gonna have to be custom made by someone.

The map has been created! It's posted in the first post of both this and the IC thread. Take a look at where I placed you people! Oh, and read the legend below, otherwise you'll be confused to no end.

[Quiksilver]

Alright. Well, here it is.

Name: Kiec Risynia

Age: 29

Appearance: Kiec was born with long, wavy brown hair, which flows to his shoulders in a mullet-style do. His eyes are a dark, gleaming brown, that under weak light almost appear black. However, one of these eyes has since been covered up by a leather eyepatch, having been permanently disabled by the trials Kiec went through to obtain his dice. His face is a mix of noble blood and wild Berserker-esque handsomeness, striking a generally all-around sort of charm. Being a former SOLDIER on the planet, he still wears the uniform of a 1st Class SOLDIER, although he has personalized it somewhat. This includes a dark blue jacket, an iconic large shoulderplace, and a underarm pouch (think under-the-arm gun holsters) that carries Kiec's dice, Heiwa and Sensou.

Allegiance: Neutral, at the moment.

Weapons: Magical Dice

Magic: Basic spells as of yet, which are associated with the rolls of Kiec's dice. (i.e. He rolls a Seven with Heiwa, he uses a Fire Spell.)

Bio: Kiec, actually, was not raised in this world. Actually he was born on the Planet of Final Fantasy XII, and he grew up in an ordinary life for most of his years, until the year he was recruited by SOLDIER. From that point on, Kiec became a sword-swinging hero, a great find for SOLDIER, who rewarded Kiec accordingly. It took little time before Kiec was a First Class SOLDIER, sent on some of the greatest and most risky missions, and always coming back successful. That changed Kiec, making his both arrogant and powerful, a dangerous conbination. This deadly mix would finally blow when Kiec was sent on yet another dangerous mission, and, believing his own skills, he took no additional support SOLDIERs with his. This would prove to be a mistake, for Kiec was defeated by the creature he believed he could destroy- no, he was not defeated. He was beaten down.

There Kiec was, close to death and there was the creature, about to deal the killing blow. Kiec prayed, swearing he would be humble and treat everything and everyone as his equal...if only he could live. And then...it happened. The killing blow. At first, Kiec thought it was him who had been killed. He shortly discovered that was not the case.

A man known only as the Dicekeeper had saved his life and killed the creature with powerful magic not seen in this world- for the Dice he used to cast the magic, Heiwa and Sensou, where not of this world either. Kiec thanked the man many times over, and the Dicekeeper then made a surprising request of the young man.

He was getting old and needed to pass on the Dice to the next Dicekeeper, the man said, if you can pass my tests, I will give you these Dice. And Kiec, after much debate, decided to try it. He succeded, to a degree. He lost his right eye in the process. But now, Kiec was the possessor of the Dice. But, the trials of these Dice were not over for Kiec. The Dice exploded with magic, and a second later, Kiec found himself in a strange world...in a country known as Vextoria...

P.S. It's been a while since I played Final Fantasy, so feel free to correct me about anything.

[Navras]

Accepted. After reading your Bio, I understand why you are neutral at the moment. However, this makes it difficult as to where to place you... You've narrowed it down to Vextoria so... I'm going to place you a little ways out from the battle of the Rebellion and the Vextorian camp. You're not in the battle, but you're a little ways away. Got it?

okay, get posting.

[galesonic]

Okay. I managed to add what caused me to cross from Maxwell's world into the current one.

[Navras]

Accepted.

Since you're part of the Rebellion, you're starting position is with us at the Vextorian camp in the rebel country Munalous. Read up on what's happened so far and get posting.

[galesonic]

By any chance, are we able to use GFs? If we do, I have a few I could use for Maxwell.

[Navras]

Depends, waht did you have in mind?

[galesonic]

Like I use the basic from Final Fantasy VIII early in the RP, such as Ifirit (fire), Shiva (ice), Quezacotl (thunder), and Siren (Silence and Slow infliction) (maybe Diablos). The later on (possibly late into the story) I use Stronger GFs, like Pandamonium (wind), Alexander (Holy), Pheonix (massive heal), and others I seemed to have forgotten.

[Navras]

Not now, things like that will come later on in the RP and will be refered to as summons, as is the case in most other final fantasies. As for now, stick with basic spells.

What will come before Summons though are Bio-Mechanical Armor, similar to those that appear in six. This is for all people in the RP, not too long from now each faction will be getting these suits of war. However, I'm not sure as to what all the features should be on these suits. For example, in six they were able to recreate certain elemental effects.

Sugestions anyone?

[Navras]

Bump.


and I still need some suggestions on that bio mechanical armor people. I don't want to be making this up [i] all[/i] on my own.

[galesonic]

Well, you could make the suits unlock the ability of Limit Breaks for a short burst of time, but it takes a while for it to recharge that boost.

And for Maxwell, he only gonna draw basic spells in the beginning. If he were to draw anything higher than basic early on, it'll blow up in his face. I'll give you the list of basic. I sorted them out myself from playing the game (Yeah. I'm a FFVIII nerd)

[spoiler= list of basic spells]

[u]Fire[/u]- Basic fire spell
[u]Blizzard[/u]- Basic ice spell
[u]Thunder[/u]- Basic lightning spell
[u]Cure[/u]- Basic healing spell
[u]Silence*[/u]- Stops the inflicted from using a status effect spell for 1 minute.
[u]Sleep*[/u]- Makes some enemies fall asleep, while others have lower attack chances for 3 minutes. However, the user starts to become drowsy until he actually sleeps
[u]Double*+[/u]- Allows the user to cast two spells instead of one for 2 minutes. However, the spells are around half as strong.
[u]Water[/b]- Basic water spell
[u]Aero*+[/u]- Grants the user wings to fly for 5 minutes. However, the damage you inflict on the enemy is half as strong.

*= Status effect
+= Rare
[/spoiler]

[Navras]

A limit break huh? You know, that could actually work. I mean, machines to create energy don't they? Why wouldn't they create energy for an attack, seeing as that's what they're designed for. Cool.

Okay, how about magic abilities? I personally don't think they should be able to use water or thunder, seeing as those two things could mess up the machine. But what else might they be able to use? Also, what should they look like?

And Atman, what's the deal with that crystal you picked up? What are you planning?

[---------------]

To be quite honest, nothing. I was using improvisation. Hopefully we can turn it into something.

And besides, what's a Final Fantasy without any Crystals? :3

BTW, when Kain thought 'oh no not again,' that was because in FFIV Golbez stole the crystals to, ultimately, destroy the human race. So, he's a little worried. :3

[Navras]

Oh I know all about Golbez and his manical scemes. and as a matter of fact, yes, yes we can use improvisation for it because I was going to use the crystals towards the end anyways, looks like you just found the first one. Keep it close, you're gonna need it.

But to all others, seeing as this was pretty well a freak accident, don't try and find your own random crystal, when the time comes we will have our own. oh yes, we will.

and just to clarify, that means don't use yours now. Don't even attempt it.

Now, back to the other subject... Apperance? Magic? Come one, we need gundams! (lol... gundum...)

[galesonic]

How about they look like the armor of the Galbadian soldiers and generals in Final Fantasy VIII for the rebellion? They suit them well considering the grunts carry swords.

[Navras]

Post a picture of what those look like, just so I'm certain of what you're talking about (it's been a long time since 8...)

My original thoughts were that they look something like this

http://code-geass.bandai-ent.com/knightmares/images/lancelot1.gif

or this

http://www.mahq.net/mecha/codegeass/geass-tv/ifx-v301.jpg

with variants of course, so that we're not copying so much off of that show, but at the same time I don't want it to be too advanced right off the bat. Also, as I'm sure everyone who's been reading this is aware, by the end of this thing, all 4 factions are going to have these bio-mechanical armors for themselves. So we're going to need a color scheme. Naturally we could use the colors of the factions, but I don't think I ever officially gave the Rebellion a color.

your thoughts?

[galesonic]

I think that those armors should go to the 3 higher factions. Since they control more of the continent, they are able to get more money. The Rebellion has around two countries (I'm not looking at the map), so it would be very hard for them to get enough money to get armor like that unless they steal from the other factions and rebuild them. lol I seem a bit stupid to add politics in this.

[/spoiler]

[Navras]

But Gale, this whole RP is politics!

but still, it's not like they'll get them right away. As far as the Rebellion goes, they'll steal a few! Trust me, I has a plan. This isn't going to be a one sided fight.

Now, after looking at the Armor sets that you put, the basic unit and leader, I don't think that it should so much be the whole Gundam (we'll call them Gundams for now since we don't have a name yet...), but rather part of the whole; I think we can use these. With a few simple changes to it, we could definitely use them. now, me personally, I think that they're a bit bulky and the helmets have to go. Your thoughts?

[galesonic]

I do see your point on how we steal them and the politics. I do agree with you on the helmets and armor. We could make some changes, like use visors for nighttime attacks or something like that. The armors themselves do see like good ideas altogether.

[---------------]

Question:

Should the Malbicious Knight I add be half robotic like the one you described?

[Navras]

@gale: Visors are good. I'm glad that we agree on the helmets lol. Now, for an over draft of just the personal armors for people, the helmet needs to be smaller, some kind of visor too. may be we could have it so that we could see what all magic a person has or their rank or something ("His power level's over 9000!!" "What? 9000!? are you sure?!!" lol)

@atman: No, Gerimiah is special. no need to make your knight half robotic like he is.

Name: Gerimiah Jinjo
Age: 30
Appearance: Gerimiah appears to be wearing a mask over the right half of his face. The mask was simple enough, red colored metal mixed with three strips of black alloy and a yellow marble eye. In addition, there were four sizable metal tubes sticking out of his back and his left arm and shoulder appeared to be made of metal as well. Gerimiah's original eye color is almond brown. Gerimiah has blond hair that is usually pined up. When it isn't, it falls past his shoulders.
Allegiance: Malbicious
Weapons: twin swords
Magic: none
Bio: Gerimiah was what you might call the perfect patriot. He was born into a family that wasn't middle class but wasn't rich either, and he loved his country. So much so that he would die for it. When he could walk and talk, he asked his father for a sword so that he could join the army. Of course his father refused, but the want for glory stayed with him. When he was eighteen, he joined the army and quickly rose through the ranks so that by the time he was twenty three he was fast on his way to becoming a general. That's when the accident happened. It was on a mission to crush a rumored ban of rebel soldiers on the War Islands. He and a small battalion of less than a thousand men stormed the island, only to find that it was a trap set up by Argox. Awaiting on the island was a legion of over five thousand soldiers who effectively took out nearly everyone. In the fighting, Gerimiah suffered a fatal burning and died there on the battle field, just like he had always wanted to.
But this was not the end of Gerimiah Jinjo. He was recovered from his final resting place and created anew in a Malbicous research lab. It took them six years of pain staking work, but Gerimiah eventally woke from his eternal slumber a new man. Though six years had passed, his resolve to serve Malbicious hadn't changed. With his new more durable body, he jumped right back into action and was soon approached by the emperor himself to become a knight in an elite unit, which is his post to this day.

[b]Name:[/b] Damien Edgar Sharn
[b]Age:[/b] 32 (34)
[spoiler='[b]Appearance:[/b]'][img]http://img258.imageshack.us/img258/4060/15782586.png[/img][/spoiler]
[b]Allegiance:[/b] Malbicous
[b]Weapons:[/b] Dual Weapon. A two-bladed weapon that can split into two swords. (in the pic, the other blade is at the top, but it's been cut off.)
[b]Magic:[/b] Basic black magic. Can only use Second and Third tier spells in Trance.
[b]Bio:[/b] Born in a small town near the Lake of Despair to a wealthy blacksmith, Damien was exposed to weapons early. Already becoming a weapons master by the age of 17, he quickly joined the ranks of the Malbicous army under the ruse that he was actually 19. His commanding officer was very proficient in black magic, which is where he learned it. During a battle against Argox on the War Islands, Malbicous was losing. Hurt and about to die, his body started glowing. He then suddenly turned into a feral beast, and had made fast work of the remaining Argoxian troops. When he returned to normal, he was revered as a hero. He then learned he had a special ability called [color=blue][url=http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Trance]Trance[/url][/color], which allowed him incredulous ammounts of power. Not long afterward, he was approached by the Emperor, and invited to a special group of warriors...

I would also like to make a... um... [i]special...[/i] character that I'll tell you about later. Pm me.

[Navras]
