Elinar, the sorceress, governed the will of magic users and was also the tender to the downtrodden. She enforced the magic of the world with her existence, and as such she inspired the noetic powers of the world as well as healers and spiritualists. Her symbol was a trangle wrought of the 3 colors of magic, red, white, and black, with a speck of blue in the middle.
Shrevreil, the Archwarrior, spoke for the men of arms of the world, as he was a man of insuperable martial prowess. Men and women of the battling breed idolize the man's honor and supple power in a time of war. His symbol was the great weapons of the world (Sword, katana, spear, claw, whip, mace and bow and arrow) encirlcling a shield.
Vekon, the shadow, was the apotheoisis of stealth and subterfuge. He wielded his weapons of distance and malice to quickly dispatch the oblivious. And addtionaly, he was a master theif, stealing before any notice was called to him. He was admired by the ninjas, assasins, and thieves of the world. His symbol was the a collage of black, a leaf and star on a herald.
This group of three changed the face of the world, liberating it from the tyrany of dark monsters and men of sheer malice against this world. They, born on the same day, destined to meet each other, combatted against this evil. And in finally defeating the hordes of monsters across the lands, they ursurped evils power through the contrivance of great magicians known across each continent and thus, subsumed the power as their own. In short, they were godly amoungst the mortals they once saved.
In doing this, peace was sought and they wandered the world inspiring others to follow their respective paths. So much so, in fact, that religions after these three were formed. The cultures of the world had then reached their peak of that age... untill dissidence finally loomed.
It was unknown who cast the first stone, but they began to disagree. Disagreement led to conflict. Conflict led to fighting. Fighting led to war. The great war began at that age and followers of one of the triumvirate were warring with the other. Monsters began to burgeon again, only now, the denizens of the world were becoming them. Thus the hate forced the power of the godly triumvirate to spill causing this chaos and began to form the Archlords.
The Archlords gave new reasoning to end the infighting between the triumvirate, for the three monstrous powers were beginning to comsume the world with their lust for the war, power and anguish of the world, so the three used their power to seal themselves and the seemingly demonic lords in the crystals. Three crystals exactly, with 4 guardians for each to keep the world in a balanced state. Three crystals to prevent the war from happening ever again.
It was 2000 years ago the triumverate aquired the power of gods and 1000 years ago the war had finally ended after nearly a century of hostility. The crystals do exist, but are passed down as legends. They are kept hidden by forces that deem them that way. The 'Galleons' are such a sect. They keep the secrets of the crystals sacrosanct by any means, as their network stretched thourghout all the world and thier power is great, militarily and otherwise.
At this point, the world is a productive place where the world edges on like it always had for a century. Monsters do exist, but not to surreally multiplied. In short, there are reasons for warriors to wander, mages to study spells, or a theif to steal a loaf of bread or a pouch of gold. But no real conflict has disturbed the world on whole for nearly a century.... until today.....
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sorry for takin' so long!! :D
The world just bit me in the ass for a few weeks(new job, paying rent, etc., etc.)
Now the thread can begin!!
So here is the cut of it.
You're all an adventuring group, attending to summons from a man name Halager, A divining wizard. The lands are rife with more hostility these days; more monsters are roaming the lands, factions and armies are fighting each other, and mercenaries have idiopathically taken work from presumed unknown forces... All the characters, however, don't know what their collective fate holds for them... nor do they know why they are together to begin with.
The Char sheet.
Name: (Straightforward)
Race: (Please make it ff oriented - eg. Moogle, Banga, Viera, Drawves, and anything with my approval)
Class: (again, FF oriented - White mage, Blackmage, Blademaster(cyan), Samuri, Ninja, thief, Dragoon, archer, etc.)
Appearance: (duh)
Weapons and Armor: (please make this according to class. Otherwise it's self-explanatory)
Backround: (Just want some backround info about the person in question with the inclusion of how he heard about Halager(be creative).
Abilities: (Just base your skills on your class and various ff references.
NOTES ON SKILLS: -Ninjas can use ninja magic though it is not a powerful as black
magic. -Theives can steal, no question, but only items or concealed items, not weilded weapons, or worn armor.
-Dragoons can have jump, no question. However, I'd like some creative variations from characters if possible :) (eg. Instead of landing, you throw your weapon OR breath fire/ice/lightning from the air, OR anything with my permission)
-Beastmasters(for those who remember gau) can only emulate a particular TYPE of monster(Spiders, Dragon welps, Forest animals, etc.)
-Mages can have three spells each(eg. Black mage - Fire, Ice, Bolt. White Mage - Cure, Protect, Harm(undead killing spell)) More powerful spells will become
available to you later in the story. For simplicities' sake not gradations (fire, fira, firaga, etc.)
-Anything you want has to be done with my approval.
EXAMPLES:
Class: Knight
Abilities: Swordskill - The character can use his weapon of choice to attack mutiple opponents and break weapons and armor with a moment of great concentration.
OR
Abilities: Swordskill - Can use ki to channel it through his blade, used it 2 ways; to drain life from an opponent to claim it as his own, or to stop time around the opponent(cast stop spell)
Second example:
Class: Ninja
Abilities: (since ninjas can use suriken as weapons, you don't need to choose "throw" ability) Flame - A spell that sets a person or object on fire. Low levels of this spell can simply heat objects.
For the most part, I just want you guys to have a couple of cabalities, made as general as possible, but not much more than that. Anything more eccentric or outre, get my permission for first.
The world is composed as follows: The great kingdoms of Alexandria, Mordanil, Everncrawl and Sobo inhabit the world. Their is also a ghostly forest, and a temple of fiends. The are tribes all over the place; one of great berzerkers(Agilimars), one of beastmasters(Vertig), and the elves of meadows of Ciallo. The is also a great Academy of magicians on in the world. The world has no finite shape or map, but I'll make it up as the story progresses. I'll also add more as seen fit. :)
--------------------------------------------------
blackhammer Member Dec 10th 3:59 AM Here's my 'first' character
Name: Halager
Class: Sage
Race: Human

Rensha Member Dec 10th 2:31 PM *tsk tsk tsk* You forgot the Anti-break! :P Ahh well... no biggy. I'll join for ya.
hey, you making a map? If not, I've got a few ideas for one. If you want me to make one, gimme a description and i'll make a few, scan em, send em to you over email or soemthing, and you can critique them.
neway, i'll ttyl about that.
I"ll make a char sheet in a little bit.
Rensha Member Dec 10th 2:34 PM 1 more Q...
which FF does it go up to? Can we use stuff from the FFX IX VIII VII or is it Pre-PSone?
blackhammer Member Dec 10th 3:20 PM It's ok SS, I know you're busy ;). Amarant: I'd like to say yes, but I don't know if that would make you too poweful... Tell ya what, here's what we'll do. You can have one summon that ISN'T one of the following(until later of course) - Bahamut(and all of his FFVII carnations), Odin, Raiden or anything that would be regarded as too powerful.... until later in the thread Example: Summon - Kirin. Upon summoning the horse it heal alis at will. Additionally it can use an expansive regeneration ward, which has a slow effect. If there is a rider upon the horse, he automatically is accoladed with a spear attack which can reach other opponents from a fair distance. ^ Something like that. If you REALLY want a powerful summon, (Bahumat, etc.), you have to have a weak form of it. For example,(though it would be cool) Bahamut can't blow enemies up from space, or use his attacks extravagantly(Blowing up a radius of 20+ feet). Basically, he'd be a bahamat spawn in comparison. Same goes for Odin, Typhoon, etc. And, very sorry, no Knights of the Round :). Rensha: We'll talk later about the map, I just want to round up several players first before any definate world can take shape. As to your second question, ANY FF game is allowed, even tactics. ANY!!
Roslyn Member Dec 10th 3:31 PM
name: Roslyn
age: 20
Class: Dragoon
Race:human
Appearence: she stands at 6'0, she wears the same armor as her hero Kain.. except she's had it colored Black with grey flames running up it. her spear has alot of sharp spikes running up and down her spear for maximum damage.. her spear is also colored clack with pink flames instead of grey, from all the monsters she's slain.
armor: she wears custom made peices of armor that she tried to replicate from her hero (Kain my fav char of all the FF's) she's dyed it black and has incrested grey flames going up the armor. her weapon is a spear with spikes all over it cept for the grips. the spikes get bigger the closer to the end you get.. the tallest being 3 inches pointing outward from the pole..
Personality: being the only Dragoon in her village she felt that she had nothing left to do in her village, she had trained hard so one day she'd get the call to serve under her kingdom.. that never happened cause before she could leave to get trained for the kingdoms army.. she would have been there first Dragoon.. she wanted to show them that a dragoon squad would be well worthe it.. now she wonders the suroundings in search of a kingdom worthe her time and effort.
abilities: Jump- she jumps into the air but she has a speacial type.. wear she hurls the spear down giving it a strong twist, which makes her spear almost like a drill with the spikes on the spear a better chance at greatly injuring the enemy.

DARN! >_< I was gunna bea dragoon!
ahh well, i'll have to settle with THIS... ;P
-------------
Name: Corey Koroth (I'm into humorous, but yet flowing names recently... so suit me... ;P)
Age: ???
Race: Lunarian/Human hybrid - 50/50
Class: Dark Knight (from FFX-2, not FFIV, i'll explain some moves, but i'll only use a few.... ;P I'll only use one for now, if thats all you want. They are pretty strong.)
Abilities: (Let me list them here, for future reference, and then I'll just get them later whenver you deem neccessary.)
-Darkness(built in attack) Sacrifice 1/8 of hp to damage all enemies
-Drain 8mp, absorb hp from one enemy.
-Demi 10mp, Reduce the HP of all enemies by 1/4.
-Confuse 12mp, Confuse one enemy, Demi Required.
-Break 20mp, Petrify one enemy, confuse required.
-Bio 16mp, Poison one enemy.
-Doom 18mp, Doom one enemy, Enemy is KI'd when count reaches 0. Bio required
-Death 24mp, Instantly defeat one enemy. Sometimes fails. Doom req.
-Black Sky 80mp, Randomly damages enemies, Death Req.
-Charon Sacrifice life to heavily damage one enemy.(KO, but out of battle, unable to be revived till after.)
- Poison-, stone-, confuse-, curse-, and death-proof. All seperate, just didn't want to list them all.
---
Phew... abilities finished... I don't want Charon right away, and probably not until just before the poison, stone, etc, proof.
Appearance: Lean. White hair, but can't see it under the helmet. Almost to the small of his shoulder blades otherwise.
Armor is totally black, red line running from each shoulder, to chest, then angling up diagonally to helmet, then converging where bridge of nose is, and forming a circle. other than that, it is colorless black.
The helmet is smooth with no eye or breathing slits and is mysterious how the occupant doesn't die. it sweeps back into a fin-like look. Eyes are white, though you never see them. Height is 5' 10 1/2". Weight is 150lbs. with armor 160lbs(almost weightless, as it is really just a shadow, coelesced into matter. Cursed armor of the underworld.)
His sword is much like hadhafang, if anyone knows what it is... let me look for a link really quick.
You'll like it... :P I guarantee... Its all black and a bit longer. It has ancient and 'evil' inscriptions on it.
The armor is smooth and black, no light escapes. It is elegant and deadly fear inspiring at the same time, as it is sweeping into points at each joint, making the armor itself also a weapon. (I'll draw a pic and scan it and post a link to my site, sometime soon, whenever i get a chance to.)
Bio:
Corey was offered power... Great power. Though he was never told of the cost. It is a cursed and magical armor. He can never take it off. And none can see his face. He has worn it for... goodness knows how long. He doesn't. His origins, even to him, are a mystery now. He remembers only a few days before the armor was given him by magical rite of passage. Thus, he only remembers his appearance before the transformation, and his name.
Since, he has fought for whatever he deemed was on the side of good. Though the armor sometimes has an influence over his actions to do things he wishes not to.(i'll explain it IC through his actions, you'll get it.)
Generally on the side of good, he has been known to do evil against his own will. He took the power that was offered to do good and he holds to that. Having no need to eat, as the powers of evil sustain him by any death surrounding him, he has no need for money. Neither for equiping himself. The armor evolves over time, according to his skill and power, offering him increased abilities.
As well, the armor, at finding a long forgotten piece of itself, will absorb it and make itself stronger. This happened when he had found a sphere of dark mass. Upon the armor making him touch it, it was absorbed through him and into his sword, changing it to its current form.(something similar happened in the FFIV game when you got new armor, except you could sell the old armor/weapon/accessory.)
Over time, the armor would heal itself from battle damage.(Such as overnight, resting. At an Inn lets say. Since he can't use potions, those effect flesh and he has none available to effect.)
Personality:
Crazed loon at times, then at others he is completely calm and himself. Usually he becomes bloodthirsty during the harder battles(such as tough bosses, lets say.). The armor influences him in such times and he is powerless against its power. He loves all that is good and is usually depressed because of his actions when he goes against what he wishes to accomplish. The armor will not allow him to commit suicide, or anyone to kill him. It will fight back on its own initiative to save itself, even from a friend or loved one, and show no mercy until the threat is extinguished in death.
Overall a good guy, and talkative at times of great happiness. Though ignored from fear, and revered from warriors. However, at times is evil... In a nutshell...
--------------
SOrry for the LONG LONG LONG charsheet... however, i'm making a rather detailed char ;P I plan on this going a long ways. I'll keep it going through inactivity if i need to! lol, its FF, and i'm there... :P
blackhammer Member Dec 10th 5:20 PM Roslyn: You in. :)
Ren: I like everything except the abilities. You were too specific. Being a dark knight, I would do something like this;
DarkKnight - With dark energy coursing through Corey his blade concurrently serves as the vessel of tenebric destruction. Using this power, through his attacks with his black, he can fire waves of evil energy from his blade as well as utilize the power to drain magical and physical power from his enemies, which in turn can heal his own injuries upon doing so.... etc. etc.
Like I said before, I would like the powers generalized for simplicities sake. If you can, make the necessary changes.
blackhammer
Member Dec 10th 5:22 PM
Also, look at the previous examples as well, Ren. See if that helps at all.
Oh and if the armour controls your actions(Of which I'll take control of as GM), you can have a more power/abilities that other characters since this is an active disadvantage. But, please, make it within reason.

Amarant
Member Dec 10th 7:19 PM
Nvm, ur right summoner would be too tricky and such. I dont wanna get into that. Instead tho my char will be...
Name: Kupop
Race: Moggle
Class: Moggle Warrior
Appearance: http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~kai/mog.gif
Rough Image of them... gives you the right idea though.
Weapons and Armor: Kupop doesn't wear any armor, except his coat of fur, which offers little protection. For a sword, he uses a unique blade whos crafters are unknown to this world, how to moogles found it, is beyond anyones knowledge. The blade is about 2'7'' long but weighs virtually nothing. Despite Kupops odd appearance using the sword (Which is about as big as him in total) he is determined to use it and wields it impressively well, as good as any other prominent swordsman from any other race could.
Abilities: Dance- Strange moogle dances that are often underestimated. Although looking crude, useless to many races, the moogles revere dances and use them in combat for many different results that baffle sages and wisemen beyond beleif.
-Healing Dance: Heals people that the dance is directed at.
-Fire/Ice/Lightning/Water Dances: Causes Target(s) to be struck in the corresponding element of the dance.
-Hurt Dance: Drops a random heavy object onto the target from, no one knows where.
-Speed Dance: Causes Kupop and everyone around him to move, think, and strike much faster.
Although the dances arent as powerful as a wizards black magic or Clerics White magic, they are still very helpful and give an edge to the Moogles in battle.
Background: Kupop grew up a normal life as a normal Moogle in subterrianian Kurtanop village. One day, a battle was waged above Kurtanop and after the battle ended, Kupop immerged to find dead bodies strewn everywhere. But what stood out was a strange sword, large as any human broadsword he had seen in his village. He picked it up and found it to be very light. He trained many nights and days with the blade and helped valiantly defend his village. Soon he was a hero amongst his people, but not as great as the legendary Mog of the moogle people. So he trained and fought harder, hoping someday to be up in legends with Mog the great. One day by chance, he found a body of a man, no doubt killed by ogres near his village on the surface realm. On the body, he found a letter, the letter said that the man was needed as soon as possible to help a man called Halager, a map to Halagers' town was attached to it. So that day Kupop decided to set out on an adventure to make himself known, and famous. He would take the place of this man and help Halagar, he set off with only what he needed, his sword, the letter, and his determination.

Amarant: The elemental dance almost counts as 4. That almost makes 7 dances.... And I think that's a little too much. If you could reduce it to 3 or 4, that would be nice.
Also, if you could look at my format for my character's skills(Halagar and Crodo). If you could do something close to that, I'd appreciate it. :)

Member Dec 10th 7:37 PM
Dances relisted...
-Healing Dance: Heals people that the dance is directed at.
-Fire Dance: Causes Target(s) To be engulfed in flames.
-Hurt Dance: Drops a random heavy object onto the target from, no one knows where.
-Speed Dance: Causes Kupop and everyone around him to move, think, and strike much faster.

Member Dec 10th 9:37 PM
IMPORTANT POST!!! EVERYONE READ!!!
I want something made clear before we go any further, because I don't think I've made
Abilities can the capabilities of a characters class manifested into a freeform RP.
For an example on play:
From the second example of Swordskill in the first post: (remember the multiple attack thing).
IC: The monstrous force of ogre confronted the knight, accostng him terribly with his enormus club. The knight parried the blow then, with the ki in his blade, drained life from the ugly humanoid. Several of the knights wounds had then disappeared.
Gaining an oppurtunity the Knight's blade blushed with ki again, and incised the ogres skin, causing time itself to envelope around the ogre... stopping him in his tracks.
OOC: That's the sort of thing I'm going for. That's why I need the skills to be generalized, so that they can easily be freeform. That's why I'm being picky about having them in paragraph form.
So far Roslyn has the right idea.
Rensha
Member Dec 10th 10:31 PM
nah, BH, i'd of done it different ICly. I was just taking it from the book itself. I mixed in FFIV and FFX-2 together. Don't worry i'll make it work. I had planned to do it the way you had said, its just that rigid rules are what i stick to. I was just listing the abilities of the Dark Knight that they have in FF. I didn't dare post the ones of FFT(Tactics)... That'd take forever... and WAYYYYYYY too powerful...
For Darkness, i am planning to use it only 8 times before KO, but before he is too weak to fight, but can limp away somewhere... just draining. after.. thats all HP is.. they dont' really get hit, they block or deflect, its all vigor. and they don't show that in the game. now they show hits, but thats not really how it is supposed to be.
nvm... forget my logic...
so when were you planning to start the IC? I know that you aren't done with the signup yet, but any indication?

Kulatu
Member Dec 12th 11:22 PM
Anyways, I'm gonna rip off my favorite CT character ^-^;;;
Name: Kulatu
Appearance: Kulatu has a solemn face with blue-purple hair and reddish eyes. He has purple breeches and a black tunic that goes well with his blue cape. He has thin leather gloves on his hands.
Weapons and Armor: While Kulatu can't wear armor, he has specialized in defending himself with a knife at his belt, or preferably with a scythe. He isn't as strong as most people, and the scythe is often more useful for intimidation then for battle.
Backround: Kulatu doesn't know how he got his powers, or even why, in fact, he doesn't remember most of his childhood, but what he does remember, he has shared with nobody. Kulatu has no friends and no family, he has the potential to become a great mage, but is as of yet only an apprentice, able to cast a few weak spells.
He hopes to one day gain powers over the powerful elements of magic, and to find his hidden past, and his destiny.
Abilities: NOTE: I know you wanted abilities to stay variable, but I don't know about magic, so I am just going to list his available spells.
***FIRE - One of Kulatu's foes is struck by the elemental power of Fire.
***ICE - One of Kulatu's foes is struck by the elemental power of Ice.
***THUNDER - One of Kulatu's foes is struck by the elemental power of Lightning.
Thats the only base spells I have, so really its just a matter of preference and potential elemental resistance.
This ok?

CT is just so much better on so many levels. System, graphics, abilities, everything.
though FF6 has so many things over that game as well... if they made an FF6 to the 'T' today. I'd be SOOOO happy. Upgrade the graphics to 3d, but keep EVERYTHIGN else the same. Even the secrets and the tricks. just update the graphics... classic battle/menu system, same pictures for the chars... get me?

Basically, via e-mail, we wanted a chain letter started. What we want to do is start petitioning for an FF6 remake to be made. After a LOOOONNNGG round of circulation(mabey even several attempts), we send the letter off to Square enix.
I think, with enough support, it would at least get square's attention. :)

Weapons and Armor: Dresses in light cloths, all having some form of a zodiac embedded on them. While they do not offer the best of protection, they give him greater abilities with magic, which evens out in the end in his mind. Most notable of his items, is his mythril rod. While other rods would offer a greater handle over a certain area of magic, he finds it to be far better as it is not restricted in it's uses.
Backround: A very astute student of magic, beginning in his years in service of the military, then the church, and continuing until he was more in the business of a mage for hire. It truth is wasn't a suprise that he had been summoned, the joy of Halagar even knowing him being suppressed by his ego.
For the most part, his life has been very simple. The occasional venture into a forest, or cave, but never anything serious. Nobles have numbed any real sense of power for him, having called him for mere light-shows, hardly enough to advance his skills.
Abilities: Has very limited spells in terms of the size of his arsenal, but he has mastered a technique that halves the strain put on his body, as well as another technique that draws power from his surroundings and foes. Has a few wind spells. [Wasn't sure how ya'lls wanted the spells.]

Oh, and there are illusionists in FFTA before you guys ask. So that is an allowable class.
Kulatu
Amarants stuff:
-Healing Dance: Heals people that the dance is directed at.
-Fire Dance: Causes
Target(s) To be engulfed in flames.
-Hurt Dance: Drops a random heavy object onto the target from, no one knows where.
-Speed Dance: Causes Kupop and everyone around him to move, think, and strike much faster.
Kulatu's Stuff:
***FIRE - One of Kulatu's foes is struck by the elemental power of Fire.
***ICE - One of Kulatu's foes is struck by the elemental power of Ice.
***THUNDER - One of Kulatu's foes is struck by the elemental power of Lightning.

lol. Much appreciated. I'll just limit him since Illusionist kick so much ass and the abilities I gave him.

- Flare: Black magic burns an entire area around opponent by converting ultra-energy to heat.
- Tornado: Summons a cyclone that surrounds a single opponent, tossing them about. [Wasn't sure how to do this one since there's one in game, but it takes out everybody. *shrug* Will treat it like the other spells. Tornado 2 is larger like Ice 2, and so on.]

Meh... Sounds good enought to me...
blackhammer

But I am going to make it so that flare is taxing for you, since it is a powerful spell. however, if you want, your character can use it in a weaker form for a gamut of combat.
Fizban
Member Dec 14th 12:39 AM
I'll go with the former. That's why I limited his spells. Wanted to be able to absorb and halve the strain since Illusionist are great casters, and at the same time be able to dish out a lot of damage, even if it's not taking out a lot of people. Don't want to go around blasting people with flare or anything.

By the by, I remade my Chars so they fit the format a bit better. HERE THEY ARE!!! :)
Name: Halager
Weapons: Great crozier. This staff is strong as it is magerially powerful. It is said the this is a family heirloom that has been attributed to have an insurmountable power.
Personlity/Backround: The man is a renowned master of the Aearbon Monastary, trusted with the power to see the presages of the world's fate. His 2 daughters live amoungst the monks in the monastary, learning the ways of thier father.
Of late, the man's life has be uneventful, until the signs bore inside his mind of the dark coming of destruction, of which the world would be bereft of hope. Halager is always accompanied by Crodo, a Bangaa monk.
Abilities:
Sagacity - Through years of eruditing the man has the magerial abilites to attack monsters with fire and wind magic and heal his alis with curative spells. Through many years of experience, he also imbibed the knowledge of the powerful Holy and Meteor spells, making him a force to reckeon with.
Fire - A spell used to damage opponents with power of fire. Attacks one.
Wind - A wirling spell of air the shreds opponents. Also attacks one.
Cure - He the wounds of Hallager or an ali
Meteor - Through usage of this spell, an entire throng of enemies will have a rain of fire destroy them(think the seen with Anima in FFX, only with meteo) :)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weapons: His body, as his fists are his major and only weapons.
Personality/Backround: It was his turn to succeed his father in protecting the great sage of the monastary, Halager. He took great pride in his adoptive fathers duty and had awaited his turn to play an important part in the ways of the world.
He's a quiet man, his days filled with constant training, rigorous meditation and tutelage from the sage and his father, the human Joshua. His concerns go as far a such, never concerning himself with the outside world or the foreign matter termed other people. The only concern of Crodo it the matters and fruition of the Monastaries ideals.
Abilities: Martial Arts - Crodos inner self has been nutured by the constant physical and spiritual training, endowing great reflexes and powerful strength to the mans strike. As suck, Crodo can attack several opponents at once with his legs and feet. Additionally, his discipline allows him to shrug off pain from magic and physical bombardment.
Ki - (NOTE: Since this is one of my characters, He can have another catergory for skills. NO ONE ELSE) The power of Crodos inner self enables a chimerical healing ability(chakra) as well as the ability to use his ki at a distance with various ranged attacks(aurabolt).
Aurabolt - Using focused ki bore within his fighting spirit, the Bangaa can release this enery in a streaming, intense beam. This will destroy one to a succesion of enemies depending on Crodo's wishes.
Chakra - A ki technique used to heal himself. It takes a little time and concentration, buy is useful nontheless.
Teleri
New Member Dec 20th 3:18 PM
Weapon: A glaive. A slimmer and longer staff with a curved blade attached at the top. Very hard to wield. Her ninja garb is her only armour.
Background: Teleri grew up in the wilderness. Raised only by herself, she became strong and quick as she lived on the land. She was found and captured by 2 men one day and began living with them in a hidden village. Her mental powers when discovered struck fear into the hearts of the people and she was shunned. A fellow psyker, Aethyr, took her in and trained her in the ninja's arts and developed her mental ability. After she outlived Aethyr, she began wandering and one fateful day, she came across a bangaa and his party so she decided to follow them.

yeah.. I'd just put has a chance to do critical damage with assassinate or something.. err.. not sure about hide mode.. that makes me think of edward
he's basing it on... not asheron's call 2... whats the other MMORPG that just came out a few months ago... ?
K, unless fate stops us, THE THREAD WILL BEGIN!!!
top, near IC thread.
Hey, did you guys know that Chrono Trigger is actually a FF game??? I never knew that until just yesterday, my mom told me (she works in the Video Game Business)
Thats odd, but it kind of makes sense, similar battle system, art, feel, they go together well.
Race: Human???
Class: Black Mage
I like it Kulatu. Your in. :)
Also, Chrono Trigger isn't FF per se. It's a seperate seris. It was just made by the same company, squaresoft(which is now Square enix) :).
yeh... its... nothing like ff... its so much more indepth, you could tell it was a seperate development team and director. for the most part, the director has been the same throughout the series(look at the credits, the people work hard. I named my chars after the musicians on all my run throughs of FF6 and 7... never redid 8... just took way long...).
I am in full agreement with Ren.
And on the ps2, who wouldn't but it either?
I love ff4... the remake of ff2 with cecil and ect.. Speacially the ending movie..
:D love the idea, I'd love to have FF6 on the PS2
that'd be cool
i never got to play the whole thing through on ps... :( my friend wanted it back... :( *sniff tear* how good was it? the opening movie, though short, was cool. where it showed cecil. i based my char's appearance after that. slight mods... but basically the same.
Will do, Ren. ;)
CT is actually a seperate series with the same general idea as FF, but FF games have always been unique...
lol, i feel sorry for you... you have to get excaliber and then give it to the weaponsmith in the underworld with the dwarves, then he reforges it... actually. that doesn't sound liek the ultimate weapon... I think there is another... I don't remember, don't ask me ;P

You know what Fiz, just make a small list of about 3 spells like Amarant/Kulatu have done, and you should be fine. :)
