FFIX, New Terra: Sign Up And Discussion

A hundred and fifty years ago, Kuja gains control of the Eidolons and uses them as weapons of war, a group of people from across the world join together in an attempt to stop Kuja and save the world. Their journey takes them all over the world and they each have their own reasons why they fight. The Eidolons, even the ones summoned as an act of war, are instrumental in the welfare of the planet. They join the only 2 summoners alive at the time. Eiko Carol and Princess Garnet Til Alexandros XVII, Garnet lost her family but gained a new family within her fellow companions, she also takes on such a huge responsibilty, she takes her rightful place as Queen of Alexandria and still saves the world. Eiko had an adventurous spirit and had a burden herself she lived in the, then, ruins of Madain Sari alone with some Moogles, even though she was only 6 years old. Their adventure was a journey unlike any other and has helped to restore the planet to what it is now.

Gaia has been thriving... The settlements, cities and villages that were decimated, a hundred and fifty years ago, have now been completely restored. Airship technology is far more advanced as they are a more popular mode of transport. They are used to venture the world frequently, as the continents are more public knowledge now. But still have the same names "Lost Continent" "Forgotten Continent" and "Outer Continent"

A new world was visited as well this was the world of Terra, not much is known about this place since the portal had been reduced to nothing but a pile of rubble. History tells of another portal that is actively open to the ruins of Terra, but whether this portal is fact or fiction is clearly speculation, no one knows where it is.

But all is not as "Happily Ever After" as it seems. There is word of a strange beast from a distant world here on Gaia, rumours are floating that this creature has come through the portal that is linking the two worlds together. But again no solid prove of this has been recorded.

Name:
Zora Carol

Job Class:
Summoner

Race:
Gaian

Gender:
Female

Age:
18

Theme Song:
Natural Selection (Arc: Twilight of the Spirits)

Appearance:
Zora has long blue hair, green eyes and stands at 5'6" tall. She has a horn on her forehead that she uses to communicate with her Eidolon. As for clothing, she likes to wear traditional Summoner's Robes, they are orange in colour and are quite fitted against her slim figure.

Weaponry:
"Flute of Heaven" This particular flute allows the owner to learn the Auger Shell Melody and increases magic defense for the owner.

Zora uses flutes which are light and are used in battle as an instrument, they provide various effects such as dealing damage or providing support. The Flute is also used for to help to communicate with the Eidolons.

Skills:
Most Summoners from Madain Sari have the added ability of being able to use White Magic. Zora, however, is unable to use and learn White Magic, the reasons behind this are unknown she has spent most of her days within the Alexandrian Library trying to learn White Magic. She has recently found a new skill which allows her to perform melodies for various effects and results, at the minute she has only learned one melody.

Melody:
The ability to perform melodies that have various offensive and defensive effects.

"Auger Shell"
Name: "Shell"
Description: A Magic field envolopes the targets providing them with a Shell casing that reduces magic damage.

Eidolons:
The ability to call on Ancient creatures known as Eidolons and summon them to your side in battle. They have their own unique abilities, which which alternate from offensive to defensive effects.

Summon:
Sylph
Three pixies come down from the sky and heal the caster with curative pixie dust.

Shiva
Description: Cold air is the sign that this Eidolon is close by, she drops the temperature around her targets encasing them in a block of ice. A click of her fingers is loud enough to shatter the ice and damaging her targets.



History:
Born and raised in Madain Sari, Zora has only just turned 18, she has fully come to terms with her Summoning abilities and having an Opal allowing her to summon the Eidolon Shiva and a Jasper allowing her to make use of Sylph's healing capabilities.

She yearns to have the power of even more Eidolons. Growing up she has been told stories of her ancestor Eiko and friend, Garnet, the only other Summoner of that time. The Eidolons they once had have now been scattered around the world, and Zora wants to collect them all so they do not fall into the wrong hands.

Zora often goes to Alexandria but her adventurous spirit has gotten her into more trouble than she would care to admit, but she would just duck out of harm's way and try and retreat.

For her 16th birthday she was given an Opal Gemstone and wondered what the point of it was until she realised this allowed her to summon Shiva. And recently she acquired a Healing Gem from Alexandria allowing her to call forth the summon Sylph. She has learned that if an Eidolon does not wish it, you will not be able to use it's power, which she just associated it to being a security measure after what happened when the Eidolons were used for mass destruction, causing cities, settlements and villages to be decimated. This nearly wiped out the entire Summoner race, luckily that was not the case.

Zora also goes to Alexandria to try and learn how to use White Magic, although she has yet to develop this skill she has learned to perform a Melody on a flute. She has not truly given up on learning White Magic but she is focusing on learning Melodies as this would make her more unique than the other Summoners.

The main idea for this RP is that it is set in the future... 150 years after the game. So yeah it's safe to say that actual FFIX characters are not going to be available for this RP so you would be needing your own character.

Hopefully you want to join this RP? if so post you Profiles here and feel free to ask questions, I'll try and answer them

Sure i'll join, it'll be my very first RP and i've always been interested in joining one of these, the storyline sounds good, and it's taken forever to get the RP sorted out xD

Name:
Vitanus Orniter

Job Class:
Black Mage

Race:
Gaian

Gender:
Male

Age:
8

Theme Song:
Phase 1: Fortification (Thirty Seconds To Mars)

Appearance:
Vitanus sports a large, brown and very stereotypical black mages hat, he also has small yet baggy blue and white striped pants and red gloves. His attire is very similar to one of his ancestors, Vivi Orniter, one of the people in the actions of 150 years previous. He has yellow, glowing eyes and his face is unseeable, his hat is never removed, a common thing with Black Mages, it's as though the hat is attached to their head.

Weaponry:
Wooden Staff, a plain wooden staff that is rarely used in battle, it is used as a defensive mechanism also to block from enemy attacks.

Skills:
Fire - Hurls a fireball at the enemy.
Ice - Shards of ice hit the enemy.
Lightning - Lightning bolt comes down the sky and hits enemy.
Water - Water sphere attacks enemy.



History:
Vitanus is a descendant of the well known Vivi Orniter, who helped to defeat Kuja and bring peace to Gaia. Vitanus has always read the stories of how his ancestor and his friends defeated Kuja, that being Zidane, Garnet, Eiko, Quina, Steiner, Amarant and Freya. He has always wondered if there was another like him, another descendant of one of these legendary people, he thought there must be someone who was like that, who had inherited their powers.
Vitanus had always wanted to learn more in the ways of black magic, he was quite inept at the art, and he wished to become just like Vivi, he always saw him as a hero of sorts who he always looked up to and strived to be like. Being like he is has left him to be a very nervous person and gets ashamed of himself when he always goes nervous and gets lost for words, he always thinks that Vivi would look down on him with shame, but he never knew that Vivi was very much the same, so there may be hope for Vitanus yet.
Vitanus lives at Quan's Dwelling, the place where Vivi had once lived, he lives there in seclusion from the rest of the world and makes trips to Treno once every so often to buy things with money his father had left him.
He wishes one day to travel the world and see what's really out there, Vitanus is a very curious person who wishses to better himself at every oppurtunity.

Name:
Quargor

Job Class:
Blue Mage / Thief

Race:
Gaian / Qu

Gender:
God knows… (Generally considered male though)

Age:
Uncertain

Theme Song:
Abney Park - Airship Pirate.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-WrPWFn7e2c

Appearance:
Quargor is bald and, unlike most Qu, decides not to wear chef attire. Instead he dresses in similar fashion to the other airship pirates in the land. This includes would-be long and baggy trousers if it wasn’t for his fat legs.
He wears brown boots with gold buckles.
He has a gold-studded black belt with a gold buckle.
He has a velvet sleeveless shirt, with fancy buttons, neatly fastened.
He also has, on his right arm, 2 gold bracelet rings round his wrist. This arm, on the upper portions, has a tattoo of a crow – the significance of which only he knows.
On his left arm, nothing worthy of note except a scar which he received in a failed venture.
Like many Qu he has weird patterns around his small circular eyes. Away from his left eye he has a gold piercing.
He wears on his head goggles, which many airship pirates wear. He only occasionally pulls them down over his eyes, however, and they are mostly only present for keeping up the image.



Weaponry:
He carries many weapons. His most used weapon is that of a long pistol gun.
He also carries heavier guns, from which he fires cannon balls.
His monkey, Jimbo, is also used in battle as a weapon, and carries a sword.

Skills:
Blue Magic – Where he can use any skill he has learned from an enemy.
Seed Shot - Spits large seed out towards enemy, causing damage.
Frog Drop - Frogs drop on to the enemy from the sky for damage.
Matra Magic - Magical missiles attack enemy.

Steal – Steals items from the enemy. Can later be updated to double steal, involving Jimbo helping in the act of steal for more items.

Monkey Skill – He can send Jimbo to do a variety of different attacks including…
-Monkey Boot – Jimbo kicks the opponent.
-Monkey Slash – Jimbo slashes the opponent with his sword.
-Monkey Stab – Jimbo stabs the enemy for heavier damage.
-Monkey Jig – Quargor and Jimbo do a synchronised dance – inflicting multiple and random status effects on the enemy.

History:
Quargor is of peculiar origin. Presumably he was born in a Qu Marsh, though the exact marsh is not known even to himself. His parentage (or just his parent) is not known.
He was found as a baby by a band of airship pirates who were plundering the area for hidden treasure. It was decided to take him on board their airship “The Flying Sahagin” and to train him up as a pirate. They believed that his long tongue could prove vital in the capturing of loot, and also that his big build would show he has great strength to offer.
How wrong they were… It was quickly discovered that Quargor had a lust for eating. He just could not help himself. On his first assignment the captain of the ship decided to show him the ropes personally, taking it upon himself to show Quargor how to plunder. As they were running out of a burning building, the captain carrying treasure in both hands, the captain was furious to discover that Quargor had ate his loot.
When the furious captain turned on Quargor for having eaten items of such value, Quargor proceeded to eat him too.
The captains wife, a mother figure for Quargor, was shocked at this. But she felt it was her responsibility to teach Quargor the pirate code, and also to repress his Qu urges and desires to eat everything that came within close proximity of his mouth.
She presented him with Jimbo, an intelligent trained monkey, to help with this training, and Jimbo became a lifelong friend of Quargor.
After many long hard years, Quargor emerged as an adult, built like a professional wrestler, and with an urge to eat that he could now control. He knew to repress his urge in the presence of booty, for eating such booty would lead to his expulsion from the band he loved so dearly.
He would, however, measure each new person or monster he came into contact with, seeing them all as possible meals should they get on the wrong side of him.
With the death of the captain's wife, Quargor found himself in command of “The Flying Sahagin”, and with it it’s crew. Henceforth Quargor is now a pirate captain, though most serious decisions are made by Jimbo who communicates with the rest of the crew with hand gestures, and writing on pieces of paper.
At the present time the Sahagins spend their time flying about the planet, raiding mainly isolated, but sometimes populated areas. They don’t consider themselves as evil, it is just an accepted way of life for them. They also frequently board other airships unlucky enough to cross their flight path, taking all their loot and often leaving all the crew dead or tied up.
Having said all that, Quargor has a kind heart and does not consider what he does a bad deed. He is a simple minded imbecile who is only doing what he was brought up to do. Quargor could easily be transferred to a good cause, should the kind words of brave adventurer (offering food of course) wish to use his services. And his crew would follow him... They'd do anything for adventure, so long as treasure and possible buxom wenches are involved.







(If there are any issues with this Bio, I'll change it)[u]

Looks fine to me Glad to have you aboard WOOOO

Ok. I epicly misjudged the timing for this.

I go away on Sunday and will not be back until the 15th of April...

So sadly I will either have to put my character on hold, and join in when I get back, or I will have to just pull out altogether.

It's a shame as I was looking forward to this, but there isn't much I can do in less than two days :O.
