Final Fantasy VII : After Crisis [OOC + SignUps]

Eva · Jun 6, 2013

"And then, it came -- the chosen day. In the end, the planet itself had to make the battles stop for good. The planet used the Lifestream as a weapon, and when it burst out of the earth ... all the fighting, all the grief and sadness ... everything was washed away."

It was, simply put, not enough. Despite the planet's power, the Lifestream could not support Holy, and thus Meteor crashed into Midgar. The result was too sad to recount; many could see the immense explosion that followed, the planet itself quaking from the impact. While Meteor did not destroy the planet as intended, it achieved one goal--the planet was wounded. In an attempt to compensate for its wound, the planet retracted its Mako springs, and most Natural Materia ceceeded back to its origin. There was nothing left of Midgar, or the surrounding area. It was as if someone had simply swept the city away.

The Lifestream's energy that had erupted was quickly taken by Sephiroth, who used its power to essentially revive his 'mother', Jenova. With her revived, Sephiroth placed her in the Northern Crater, where she would begin her annihilation of the human race while taking Mako from the Lifestream. As the process of killing the planet would take time, Sephiroth situated himself in the remains of Midgar and erected an empire, where he would draw attention to himself so that Jenova could continue in peace. Many tried to fight him, but to no avail; he had essentially achieved his goal in becoming a god, and the people feared him.

The rest of the planet was no better; Mako Reactors could no longer pull the Mako from the planet, people panicked as villages were ravaged for food and resources, and true chaos enveloped everyone. There was no hope: the bad guys had won, heroes had died, and all was lost. To compound the hopelessness of the situation, shortly after a disease called Geostigma crippled the population even further. While a cure was searched for, the effects varied and the ending result fatal, with victims in the thousands claimed after only a few months.

Shinra stepped in, and after forming an alliance with Wutai, they began to rebuild the population. As the hero who had died was believed to be a SOLDIER, Shinra used that information to gain the people's trust, and it worked. They situated their headquarters in Nibelhiem and worked quickly; making sure people had shelter, defended the towns from the increased amount of monsters, searched for a cure to the epidemic, and found alternate fuel sources. Efforts were made first into the people's safety, and once that was done, then came time to focus on the counterattack.

It has been five years since the day dubbed Meteorfall. While things seem calm on the surface, beneath the planet itself has acted. The Lifestream has sent out its cries of despair to its first people, the Ancients--the Cetra. However, no pureblooded Cetra remain--instead, their predecessors, a select few whose blood carries the diluted Cetra blood of ages past, are the only ones who could listen. Their tainted blood blocks their ears from hearing the Lifestream's pleads. Because of this, the Lifestream sent those with the most Cetra blood in them materia. This materia, dubbed Cetra Materia, is unique to each individual, every one possessing strange powers unseen in regular materia. Ordinary people cannot use it, and despite their unique qualities anyone with Cetra blood can use them. The Cetra Materia is the planet's last hope, as well as its last chance to save everyone before it is too late.

Spoiler Show

Edge - A city that was 4 years prior a shining beacon to Sephiroth's ingenuity and arrogance near ruined area of Midgar. The city is populated by those that have joined under Jenova either by fear or respect of what she can do. There are a nice amount of buildings under construction, the streets have J Forces patrolling frequently, a section similar to the slums of Midgar, and in the middle of everything is a tower, home to Sephiroth, that overlooks it all.

Kalm - Kalm is a village in located outside of Edge. Unlike the bustling metropolis nearby, Kalm is a quiet hamlet with only a few shops, a pub, and an inn. The economy is based upon mining in the Mythril Mine. Unfortunately lately it has become a haven for those with Geo-Stigma.

Fort Condor - Once a Fort that protected a giant condor, it has been cleared of the inhabitants by DeepGround and now acts as a station for them to protect the Mako reactor that resides at the top.

Junon - Junon is a military installation. It used to be a peaceful fishing village before Shinra Electric Power Company built the installation right beside it. The installation's elevated airfield was built directly above the old village, blocking out the sun and polluting the surrounding seas. As a result, the once-thriving fishing industry has died out, and Sephiroth has turned the lower village into a concentration camp.

The new military installation of Junon has become controlled by Sephiroth. It acts as a secondary headquarter for Reunion. Junon is heavily defended by retractable artillery batteries and its sizable Reunion garrison.

As well as being Reunion’s primary airbase, Junon is also a major port, having a submarine dock in the Junon Underwater Reactor and being one of the ports of call for the cargo ship.

Costa Del Sol - Costa Del Sol was once a thriving resort coastal town and a main port upon the western continent but it was attacked by the wild sea serpent summon Leviathan. It is now a town settled in ruin and mainly flooded.

North Corel - North Corel is a town at the foot of Mt. Corel. It was built by the survivors from Corel, which was destroyed by Shinra Electric Power Company. North Corel is just a collection of basic dwellings, with little of the advanced technology that makes up human civilization on the Planet. It serves mostly as a stepping ground for the resort of Gold Saucer.

Gold Saucer - A towering amusement park built over the ruins of Old Corel, it is a world famous tourist attraction. It is seen as a beacon of hope for the world that there can still be happiness nor matter what. The only place where people can forget about the problems of the world if only for a short amount of time.

Gongaga - Gongaga is a foothill town, located south of Gold Saucer. Due to a disaster, the town has been badly damaged. As a visitor enters, they will see a fork in the road; the left path leads to the town, and the right leads to the burned-out Mako Reactor. Reportedly DeepGround forces have been spotted near the town and possibly working upon the Mako Reactor in secret.

Cosmo Canyon - It is also known as the "Valley of the Fallen Star". It is a pilgrimage site for those who wish to pursue the study of Planet life, and home to an observatory from which the Planet and its surroundings can be studied. The eco-terrorist group AVALANCHE was founded in Cosmo Canyon by an unspecified person at an unknown time. The members of Red XIII's Tribe are the guardians of this land. Every fifty years a male and female of the species perform a rite to appease the Planet.

Cosmo Canyon has several notable features: there is an observatory created by Bugenhagen; the Cosmo Candle, the guardian fire which always burns; and the Shildra Inn, where they serve a popular drink named after the Cosmo Candle.

Hidden within Cosmo Canyon is the resistance group known as Avalanche.

Nibelheim - Nibelheim is a small mountain village located at the foot of Mt. Nibel, across the river from Cosmo Canyon. Recently in the last few years, Shinra has turned Nibelheim into a military base and main base of operations.

Rocket Town - Rocket Town is a town north of Nibelheim. It's built around the launch site of the Shinra No. 26 rocket, part of Shinra Electric Power Company's space program.

Wutai - The name refers to the nation occupying the western-most continent on the planet of Gaia, although the name is also primarily used to refer to the nations' only known major settlement, Wutai Village. The countries' people are also referred to as Wutai.

Once a proud, powerful and independent nation state known for its peoples' honor and mystique, after the Wutai War against the Shinra Electric Power Company it fell to serving as a simple tourist attraction and resort, no longer serving as a global power. However some individual pockets of rebellion still seek to regain the countries' old glory and numerous rebel factions sometimes use Wutai as a base of operations.

The nations' guardian deity is Leviathan and as such the god's likeness appears throughout the nations' architecture through banners, flags, and statue representations.

North Crater - It appears in the Icicle Area on the Northern Continent of the Planet. It was created when an asteroid or meteorite fell thousands of years prior. This, in tandem with the continent's titular proximity to the Planet's North Pole, makes most of the Northern Continent a frozen desert. Because the crater is such an enormous wound to the Planet, huge amounts of Spirit Energy are brought around it to heal it.

Within the crater is a shining monument to all that has been done to the world. Jenova and Sephiroth have created a kingdom that resembles the world of old. A castle protected by the Gaea Cliffs and powerful monsters of North Crater. Jenova resides within this castle.

Shinra & Wutai Alliance a.k.a. DeepGround - Shinra and Wutai were once complete enemies, having fought countless wars against each other. Wutai was in hatred of how Shinra Electric Power Company ran the world and fought to save it. Now the two have joined forces in order to defeat a common enemy. Together they use the name DeepGround. Since Rufus’s death has led Tseng to become the new head of Shinra with Reno taking over leadership of the Turks. Shinra does not shy nor hide they are continuing to use Mako Reactors and recruiting for SOLDIER in order to create beings to fight the battle against Reunion.

Wutai still despises the way that Shinra handles things but, Godo Kusaragi, leader of Wutai, understands that they need each other if they want to take down Reunion, even to the point of allowing members to undergo the SOLDIER program.

Reunion - The force that was created by Sephiroth and Jenova. 25% of the Reunion force is made from humans who fear Sephiroth and believe that there is no hope for this world. Another 25% is formed of people that believe Sephiroth and Jenova to be their gods and have undergone assimilation of Jenova cells to make themselves stronger in turn warping their mind farther. The rest of the force is formed of monsters underneath Sephiroth and Jenova’s control. Reunion is a powerful force upon the planet. They show no mercy to all that oppose.

Avalanche - Avalanche is the last bastion of resistance to either forces. A small force living within Cosmo Canyon, it is led by the only survivors from the battle against Sephiroth 5 years ago, Barret Wallace, Tifa Lockheart, Red XIII, and Vincent Valentine. Barret was left with severe injuries that left unable to fight in the field but, he still commands bravely. Tifa, Red XIII, and Vincent scour the planet in hopes of finding a cure to Geo-Stigma and maybe a way to save everyone from Jenova.

Once upon a time materia were simply tools used to manipulate the boundaries of magic in varying ways by equipping oneself with them to produce the desired effect or ability based on the materia. Cetra materia are entirely different than normal materia and rare in a sense that compared to the hundreds of millions of materia horded by the Shinra company and other organizations on the planet such as SOLDIER, there are less than 50 Cetra Materia.

Cetra Materia are none other than a blessing from the Goddess herself, they hold the imprinted souls of the long lost ancient race of the Cetra and in fact bond to a person in a fashion that changes the blueprints of their own soul. This happens due to the fusion process of the Cetra's soul into said individual which grants them an ability once possessed by the Cetra's soul they've acquired. Not only does the Cetra's soul manifest as a secondary being within the user, the user of the Cetra Materia is able to communicate with the soul of the Cetra bonded to them.

While the abilities certainly vary, one things is always certain, both magical and spiritual abilities are possible but the extent and usage of these abilities always need focus and use to develop into their highest potentials. Furthering that notion it should be noted that many of the Cetra had strange and often terribly powerful forces within their grasp, so once the soul is completely fitted with that of the materia an extensive increase in the overall ability is granted. Due to the way in which these materia manifest abilities users of Cetra Materia often have some kind of alternate form that amplifies their power/manipulation/etc.

Rules

1 KH Standard [No PP, No GM (unless minor to continue), etc].

2 No fighting, whining, bitching, moaning or griping. Proper grammar and spelling is a must. If you act like a child, I will treat you as such. I will not tolerate any bullying or acts of bad behavior; you will be warned once due to my generous personality, the next time you will be kicked out.

3 I have the right to accept and reject any character, as well as deem what is acceptable and unacceptable, assume what is considered reasonable, and have the so called 'authority' to call you out on your bullshit. :3 This is a continuation of the original game, completely ignoring Advent Children and Dirge of Cerberus. I want to see unique and awesome characters. Whatever canon characters are around are NPCs unless otherwise noted.

4 Play out fights to the best of your abilities; losing is not the end of the world. Should there be a tie/stalemate and neither roleplayer willing to budge, I will personally step in and decide for you. This also corollates to rule number two. Fighting is a given in the world of FF, and as such it's boring to block everything and be super invincible. You will not be considered 'cool', you'll look stupid and boring. On that note and on the other hand, avoid dragging out battles for too long; ten pages' worth of you in a battle with the other guy is utterly ridiculous if it isn't against Sephiroth.

5 Posting requirements are as this: should you be somewhat uninvolved, maybe wandering around, or a conflict is resolved, once a week is minumum. Should you be currently engaged with another character, you are to post as soon as possible to avoid locking anyone in any one place. To avoid locking people, if after one week you have not responded, I will grant the other person the ability to Power Play your character to get things moving. On that note, if you are 'stuck' and don't know what to do, state so. I will give you something to do, even if it's minor just so that you can at least post.

6 Characters talk to everyone; establish those friendships, rivalries, love interests, bitter nemesis--everyone getting along all lovey-dovery is not only unrealistic, but complete BS considering we don't even all get along in our own lives. Cursing is allowed, and those romance scenes shouldn't get too steamy, if you catch my drift.

7 Let's all get along, have fun, and kick some Sephy butt. Acknowledge your acceptance of these rules by putting a quote from your character at the top of your template. <3

"Strength isn't always about who has the strongest punch, or even about who does the most damage. It's about who can find themselves in almost any situation and keep cool. That's what strength means to me at least."

Name:
Nirai

Age:
25

Personality:
Summing this man's mind up into a few sentences might be an easy task, if they only focus on a single mindset of his. The reason for this is because he has learned that being yourself is one of the best ways to get through life, but there are times when you must abandon your normal character for something different. So with that said the part of him that only those really close to him would know is that he's very ...eccentric. To put it simply, he loves cute things. He honestly can't get enough of them. It doesn't matter if it's a cutely shaped rock or a living person. If he sees something cute he will automatically go to it and try to take it home. Needless to say this has caused some troubles in his past, but he almost always manages to talk his way out of things. That's another part of him that people tend to notice. He can be rather convincing.

He doesn't know how or why, but he has almost always been able to tell how someone feels. It's because of this little skill that he figures out the best way to react to any given statement to avoid any unnecessary problems. But even he makes mistakes. That's when he takes on a colder character. If he finds himself in a serious situation, or anything to do with work, he will become cold and direct. Not unlike a machine. But even in this state he still falls victim to his urges towards cute things at times. And despite the fact that he can fight his urges, particularly strong urges tend to become apparent in his movements, voice and even his eyes. There have been times when the urge has won over and he broke his character.

And then we have his loyalty levels. In truth, he only saves his loyalty for a very select group of people. Particularly those that he works for, works with and even the woman that he loves. Otherwise he maintains a strict business like attitude with people knowing that he will do whatever is needed in order to obtain his objective. But this brings up the question of a lover. Or rather it might if he had one. In truth he simply falls in love way too easily. But should he fall for a woman he has been known to remain loyal to her by staying by her side as much as possible. At this point the only thing that can get him to leave her is either his work or her making it painfully obvious that she doesn't return the feelings.

Finally there is how he appears when he's not being influenced by his environment. This is when he is the most relaxed about the world. He tends to take things in stride and often times appears aloof. So there are people that tend to get annoyed with how he acts around them. But then again, sometimes even he can't tell if he's ignoring someone or listening to them when they speak. That's why at times like this he is the furthest from the image of a Turk. He always seems to be the most bored out of the group, which is sometimes true.

Appearance:
Nirai typically looks rather bored and as if he would much rather be doing something else. Primarily sleeping. That's simply because he doesn't really care about his appearance. In fact the only reason that he dresses as nicely as he does is because it's the standard uniform for all Turks. But then again, it might be best to look your best while digging up an old grave in the middle of the day. It's because of that reason that he actually tends to keep himself clean shaven.

But other than his outfit, his body is another surprise. One would not expect someone like him to be quite as fit as he is. In truth he is only that way because of a strict training regimen that he forces himself to keep as much as possible. But even he knows that there are times when it's simply impossible to run laps. So when that's the case he typically just doubles his next training time to help cover for what he's missed. That's why he has managed to maintain his form.

Weapon:
Gunblade: By squeezing the trigger during a slashing attack the blade vibrates at a high frequency for a brief moment giving the illusion that he fires a bullet into the target. But should the situation require a more delicate touch he can remove the revolver and use it as a weapon by itself. In this form the weapon fires bullets made of condensed Mako to give it that extra push.

Cetra Materia:
Torrent: Water is the essence of life. It doesn't matter what form life takes on, it relies on water. None knew this better than the Cetra themselves. That's why they relied on it as much as they did. But they also knew that water was to be feared. In the blink of an eye it could easily demolish that which has been built over years of hard labor. So it can take life just as easily as it gives it.

Purify
Because of the slow fusion of the Cetra Materia and his soul, it is granting him certain abilities. The most notable is the skill Purify. It has turned his entire immune system to something similar to water. This means that he is practically immune to any form of sickness. While it does not remove the sickness from his body, it instead nullifies it and keeps changing it to where it is nothing to his body. This is also the case for physical wounds to his body. It simply makes it to where the wound poses little to no threat to his current state. But just as ripples in a pond, the larger the "rock", the larger the ripples. So that's why larger wounds take longer to heal.

Wave
Because of his connection to water, he is able to not only bend it to his own will, but also create it as well. However, creating water tends to take a larger strain on his body thus he is unable to create a significant amount of it. At most he is capable of creating no more than twenty gallons. That's why he prefers to either use what is available, or just control what he has already created. But with this control he is capable of commanding it to do almost whatever he wishes. Be it to act as a shield, bullet or even a companion. It's only limited to his imagination.

Materia:
Pre-Emptive: At various times, mostly in response to a shift in aggression, grants a boost to his speed and reflexes that allows him to move as if he sees the future.
Added Effect: Adds materia status to equipped armor/weapon.
Poison: Grants the use of Bio spells. Paired with Added Effect in weapon for a chance to poison the target.

Innate Abilities:
Swordsmanship
Marksmanship
Martial Arts
Interrogation

Faction:
DeepGround(Turks)

History:
Having been born and raised in the Slums of Midgar, Nirai knows just what Hell is for the people of Midgar. But growing up, he didn't mind. Even though he was living on his own he learned to take things in stride. It also helped that he had grown attached to a girl older than him at the orphanage that he officially belonged to. But that's a story for another time. Instead we focus on the fact that while growing up he would almost always get in some form of trouble. Most of the time it involved Shinra and him stealing from them just to pass by the time. The odd thing was that he was never caught. That is until he happened to steal something from what he thought were just businessmen.

The ones that he initially stole from chased him down as usual, and he gave them the slip as usual. Or so he thought. In the end when he was hiding in one of his usual holes he was cornered by more men wearing the same style of suits as the ones that he stole from. But these people were different. Try as he might he couldn't give them the slip at all. Everywhere he went they would always be waiting on him. So what is a cornered street urchin to do in a situation like this? He fights back. Needless to say he was easily thrashed, but he managed to get one good hit in. And it's because of that hit that he was taken by the men and left with a group of other children. Including the girl named Cissnei from the same orphanage.

Over the years he underwent training to become a Turk. This finally happened when he turned sixteen. That was the day that he was given his first official mission, not just some training mission. The details of the missions after that point are all classified and on a need-to-know basis, so that leaves the day when he really stepped out into the open as a Turk. That day would later become known as Meteorfall.

Like all other Turks that had gone into hiding he was called forth to aid in the evacuation of Midgar. But unlike the rest of the folks that managed to survive, he decided to remain with Shinra as one of their primary agents. At this point he already knew about Tseng, Reno and Rude, but there was one that was new even to him. But she only had eyes for Tseng so things never got to be smooth between those two. So instead Nirai decided to focus on his missions, at this point it was to aid in setting up an alliance between Shinra and Wutai.

Trivia:

"Be you friend or foe, it matters not. As long as she needs me, you shall not be first in my mind. However, should you ever attempt to harm her in any conceivable way, know this. I will not rest until your blood forms the rust upon my blade. Heed my words well, 'friend'."

Name:
Yurick "Yuri" Eria

Age:
19

Personality:
One never truly knows what is going on inside this young man's mind. That's simply because he rarely changes his facial expressions and tends to keep everything to himself. Well, almost everything. There is really only one person that he will confide in regarding almost anything. That's because he sees Bianca as much of support as he is for her, granted in different ways. That's why he often comes off as being rude, snobbish and even mean to others. The fact that he looks at almost everyone with hostility does not help to alleviate this in any way either.

But if one was to look past his cold exterior, they would find that he is actually filled with compassion. While it's true that he reserves most of this for Bianca, he has been known to show kindness to those that he feels a connection with. But that's not to say that he will openly show this. He prefers to show any form of affection through subtle ways. The most direct way that he will do this is something along the lines of helping someone back to their feet.

It can also be said that he is overly sensitive. He is prone to depression when his affection is refused so great care is needed when dealing with him. At times where he is hit with depression he will often times cling to his sister more than usual. It does not matter how she treats him at this point, he simply finds comfort in being near her. Even more so than he would his own mother. That's why when people look at the two of them together, they normally swear that he is in love with Bianca. And while it may be true that he loves his sister more than his own life, he does not love her in the way that others seem to think.

And then you have his aggression. While it may be hard to truly get him angry, he does know how to "explode" on people. But because of how passive aggressive he is, he tends to release all of his pent up anger at times like this. And when this happens it tends to be anger held over a number of years. That's why it is best to avoid him when he gets this angry. The only person that would be considered safe from him at times like this is once again Bianca.

Appearance:
Yurick As if to match the way that he tends to be around his sister, he stands at a large six feet and three inches with a body built for combat. That's why many people would be reluctant to confront him on the battlefield. But there is no doubt that he comes from a high class station. This is most shown in his translucent skin matched only by his snow white hair and pale blue eye. Eye simply because he has lost the use of his right eye. That's why he always covers it with a patch.

As for his attire, while it may be considered to be fashionable, he tends to change it from its original form in some way. Most of the time this is done simply by removing a part of the ensemble entirely. Most of the time it is the undershirt leaving only his blue jacket over his body. From that it is seen that he keeps his body fit through rigorous training. But aside from the jacket, the most notable part of his outfit is a single amulet that he keeps on him at all times. He treasures this very much and will do anything to protect it from harm.

Weapon:
Knight's Honor: A massive blade that stands just a little taller than Yurick himself. Looking at this weapon it's obvious that power is what is needed to wield it effectively. And power is what Yurick has. The odd part about this weapon though is that one would not expect him to wield it with very much speed, but in truth he is able to strike with astonishing speed despite the size and supposed weight of the weapon. But due to the mythril that comprises the metal of the weapon, it is actually quite lighter than one would expect.

Cetra Materia:
Covering Wall: A materia that allows him to take any attack in the place of another. He can use this only when another is being attacked and while he is within visual range of the combatants any number of times. The drawback is that he is the one that takes the damage, so the dangers are evident.

Cover: Through this ability he seemingly teleports towards the attack in less than half a second. But because of how fast he moves and the nature of this skill he is unable to defend against the attack. All it allows him to do is intercept the attack by using his own body.

Redirect: Essentially the only magical ability that he has gained. This coats the one that he protects with a field that takes any damage that the person would receive and moves it to his body as if he had been the initial recipient. But this can only be activated by physically touching his "charge" and can not be deactivated for several minutes.

Materia:
HP Plus: This materia fortifies his body by making it less likely to receive a major wound. While attacks my do the same damage, they become less hindering to him thus allowing him to fight effectively longer.

Enemy Lure: This materia seems to amplify his hostile presence making him seem like the larger threat. He uses this to pull enemies away from others so that they may be more easily protected.

Slash-All: This materia doubles his attack speed and allows him to fight multiple targets at once.

Innate Abilities:
Swordsmanship
Vitality

Faction:
AVALANCHE

History:
Yurick comes from a rather rich family. Plain and simple. And looking at his gender, it would be assumed that he is the heir to the fortune. But this is not the case. That is because he was born second in a set of twins. Thus making his sister the one more entitled to the family fortune. So instead of receiving lessons on how to run a family, he was instead forced to double his combat training. That's because in his family the younger siblings are always charged with the protection of the older siblings. That's why on the day of Meteorfall it was he himself that led Bianca away to safety.

And then there was Costa de Sol. There his sister was allowed to keep her life despite the turbulent times, while he was charged to be her personal shield. He did not mind the order so much simply because he enjoyed being with her during the times that his mind was in turmoil. That's why even his lessons were continued, granted he was forced to work around Bianca's schedule so that he may watch over her when the rest of the family could not. And then Leviathan came. Once again he was the one that led his sister to safety, but this time it was of his own will.

At this time he felt a change in the way that his sister acted in regards to the rest of the world. He could tell that she was watching the world more closely before eventually deciding to join AVALANCHE. On that day the family protested greatly about her choice, but Yurick remained at her side. At this point he didn't care what happened to him so long as he was at his sister's side. She could have joined Sephiroth himself and he would not have minded. He would have gone with her no matter what choice she made. That's why he joined the group himself along with her.

Theme:

Trivia:
Will slip at times and call Bianca by her first name.
He enjoys reading in times of relaxation and has often times been seen reading Loveless.
Secretly wishes that his sister will adopt a less cold demeanor towards others.

Name: Mercy

Age: 23

Personality: To start with, Mercy has always been easily tempered when people call her short, shorty, runt or sweet cheeks. Most of the time, she'll retaliate by throwing the nearest object at you, and if she doesn't have an object to throw, next best thing is that she'll practically launch herself at you. Having often been called this as she grew up, those that know her, know she won't do anything and make a smart ass reply back with a smile. Having an advantage over strangers for having a cute face, has always helped her in multiple situations, but, she tries not to manipulate people to often and likes to show off her own strength. If anything at all, she keeps to herself except around friends or family, somewhat laid back but, headstrong about getting her way or forcing the situation into her own hands, if people around her can't make up their minds. Very little upsets Mercy and any signs of affection, has always taken very well; making her very playful and energetic. The best way to put it, Mercy can be very independent or serious the rest of the time and doesn't mind letting people rely on her.

Appearance:
Mercy is 5"2
Green eyes
Short dark brown hair that has a wind blown look to it.
Nice even muscle tone in her arms and legs, considering she works herself to a daily basis to stay in shape.
A black cord necklace with a silver sun pendant hanging in the center; that many often don't get to see because, she hides it under her shirt. Which happens to white netting over her small chest, with her favorite red v neck t-shirt over it. Finally, she wears her brown shorts with a hostler for her guns and has black shoes.

Weapon: Ice Pistol, gives Mercy long distant range of attack style, which she much prefers over close range. When it is fired at the ground it creates a sheet of ice for enemies to slip upon or spikes to rise up and pierce them. Either way, it defends her at most and can take out enemies.

Cetra Materia:
Cloak - With this unusal ability, Mercy can blend into different landscapes which gives her the advantage she needs in battle.

Materia:
Time - Mercy has always like the weight of a gun in her hands, which became her choice in weapon. With the help of this materia located inside her right arm, she can access it, giving her the ability to manipulate time around her and the foes she faces.
It gives her the ability to slow an enemy down with a bullet influence by it or increase the amount of bullets fired out, when casted with haste.

Innate Abilities:
Hawkeye - Mercy can see from a great distance without a magnified glass to look through when she aims her pistol at an enemy and rarely misses.

Godspeed - It goes without saying Mercy can be fast when it comes to people who rub her the wrong way, that she can snatch items out of people's pockets before they notice it's missing or run when she's caught red handed.

Strategist - Mercy reads a situation before launch herself into battle, weighing the pros and cons, if she can win a fight or cut her losses.

Crawler - Due to some mischief back in her day, Mercy can pretty mugh fit into small spaces without much of a problem and bend when necessary to avoid thing stat may cause her pyshical harm.

Faction: Avalanche

History: During the age of Meteorfall, Mercy had been taking care of herself, having grown up in the town of Kalm. It was there that she lost her father, at the age of nineteen, the last living family member she had, because of an mining accident, her mother having died from childbirth. In order to survive, she's been working in a shop; which happens to be one that specializes in weapons, where she learned to defend herself with a gun and hand to hand combat. A childhood friend named Hayden would talk of escaping this small town they both grew up in, having said" There is so much more to see, Mercy. You could make a difference and make something more out of yourself. There's nothing holding you back from leaving, unlike myself." With all the training she could get in becoming a weapon master, Mercy had given it much thought and her decision was made, when she heard of the resistance known as Avalanche; one night in the pub she frequented with other citizens for updates of different cities and rumors.

Spoiler Show

Name: Absolon Zebardyn Mercator
Aliases: [Mister M], [Project M]

Age: 29

Personality: It isn't that Absolon has an exact hatred for people or even humanity in general, he is just put of by many things that people do and would rather not become too emotionally attached to people because of his nature to be abundant and diligent in helping the people he becomes attached to. For lack of better wording, Absolon is both gentle and subdued to those around him but if he is very interested in a situation or an individual he will express himself much more openly and be more "colorful" in both his actions and responses. Absolon tends to have a near constant perception of his surroundings and is mindful of the complications that he and others just might cause. Because of this his levels of self control are at an extreme and he has no problem resisting bodily pleasures and other pleasing things about life, thus Absolon can act in full moderation. However this doesn't mean he does so at all times or needs to.

Diligence is another part of Absolon's persona that he often displays, not rushing into to anything per say and allotting life to go as it does with both "God" and his best friend's help, a notion that good and better things come to those whom wait, but also to strive feverishly to get a goal accomplished and not to fall back when an obstacle gets in the way. He is a far cry from lazy, if that the opposite; Absolon never guards his ideals with heavy convictions and believes fully in reveling in the intensity of zeal that encompasses his actions(even if other people don't recognize this.)

Appearance: <-----
One could say that Absolon is a man of many physical accomplishments. He is at first glance a beautiful individual to some, the paleness of his skin embracing the light. Absolon's head is just the right size and has softer features; with both his cheeks, mouth and nose not being overly angular but still symmetrical. He has rather thin eyebrows, keeping the rest of the hair on his face shaved nearly all the time(it grows back amazingly fast). Having red eyes that seem to give off a faint glow seems to bring more attention to his face and classic Aryan shaved haircut.

He weighs in at roughly 165 pounds and stands a little over six feet tall. Absolon never liked the idea of being too buff and packed with muscle but his frame is quite close to bulky. Both his shoulders and arms are of a nice size, but the chiseling is still obvious. A classic six-pack of abdominal muscles ripple down Absolon and at the edge of his waist line sexy v-lines cut across the hips.

Absolon knows that many girls are a sucker for a nice ass which is exactly why his is flawless, muscled and juicy. The cleft of Absolon’s back tapers directly down to his more than luscious booty. These days people have all types of names for a nice backside but he prefers the term, “cake.” Further down this man has a strong, sturdy set of legs with rock solid thighs that can only be assumed are due to the regimen he employs to keep his ass plump not to mention him being able to manipulate things.

Weapons
Unicross <-----click
Such a weapon is heavier and much thicker than a katana, it was forged for Absolon by an ex-soldier operative using a plethora of elemental bonds including, gems, crystals, and metals. It has a sharp jagged edge that can barely be seen up close on blade. The function of his sword is simple. It acts to hasten greatly the effect of magic on the sword itself. Primarily the collection of natural energy by the sword is constant while in use, increasing the capacity of the sword to become a tether to nature itself via the blade using magic. Because of this effect the monochrome coloring of Unicross' blade is able to subject itself to a variety of elemental effects infused directly into the blade. For instance Absolon's use of this sword's ability would allow him to perform Thundaga Blade where the nature of the sword itself would be affected but still be able to produce an arc of electrical energy.

Bahamut's Fury <-----click
These grieves are made of a material that is sturdy yet entirely flexible for movement. As both feet protectors and a weapon at the same time, the grieves can withstand extreme weather conditions and do not rust or decay when exposed to acids and even magical concoctions. They increase the step speed of Absolon, making it so that he can move distances nonequivalent to the amount of steps he has taken.

Cetra Materia: Bahamut Soul
Back when the race of the Cetra were still flourishing, the entities now known only as summons graced the planet along with the Cetra as sentient beings called Inner Cetra as these beings held an inner force which Cetra themselves couldn't generate with even the greatest of their magics. Bahamut is the original King of the Dragons and also the Inner Cetra holding the most immense form of draconian magic essence at his disposal. As per normal with a Cetra Materia it has begun the process of fusing into Absolon's soul, and already produced dramatic changes. It is apparent that Absolon is becoming less human and more dragon-like in nature.

Bahamut Structure System
Absolon is a being that is in between the anatomy of both a human and that of Bahamut The Dragon King. His advanced biological system clearly surpasses that of any normal person. He has a skeletal format containing bones which are all infused with an unknown substance that could be solidified whmagical force. Regardless of said makeup, Absolon's bones can withstand an unbelievable amount of harm before breaking. The density of Absolon's bones give him greatly increased physical power and likewise his affected muscles allow a superior stamina as well. He can easily lift several thousand pounds with little effort and fight for extended periods of time before growing physically tired. Absolon's skin is apparently resistant to bolt and fire magic, also holding the same empowered structure that his bones and muscles have. The result is a resistance to being cut as easy as other individuals.

Bahamut's Planetary Magic
Absolon's magical prowess is quite considerable, he is well into the range of being a Master Arcane Magician as the extent and manipulation he has over the natural elements of the planet are simply undeniable. Because Bahamut was able to conjure and manipulate elemental forces to mold atoms and fuse elemental properties in anyway he can think of, use of his own magical talents to do so is lessened a bit. With this magic he controls solids, liquids, gases and plasma giving Absolon a huge dominion over nature within a 95 foot area. Where as mages use magical spells, Absolon's magic gives him control over the specific forces of nature in a literal sense. He often uses this power to produce varying meteorological effects within his zone of influence. Absolon can extend his reach far out of his established zone of influence but doing so has consequences and may not directly produce his desired effect. It always is more costly.

Bahamut's Shadow
Even in history, Bahamut has been known for his use of "Flare" category magic as the King of Dragons, having made people witness his performing of feats such as MegaFlare, DarkFlare and even ExaFlare. Allowing his soul to heavily influence Absolon has enabled a disastrous ability to allies and enemies alike. Absolon can draw forth astral like projections of Bahamut's body parts that can be visibly seen and felt by other people. Each of these projections contain Bahamut's power and can release miniature versions of dangerous flare abilities when striking a surface or when specifically chosen by Absolon. He can cause Bahamut's entire body to actually materialize and use the mentioned attacks to cause massive amounts of collateral material and magical damage but this is extremely draining on Absolon's part to release a fully charged attack.

Materia:
Bahamut- Seeing as how Absolon already has the soul of Bahamut within his own being, conquring and defeating the magic of Bahamut trapped inside of a materia manifested Bahamut into a small dragon no larger than a cat or a dog. This little dragon is at least strong enough to face off with a man many times its own size and has the ability to use all lower level spells. It can communicate telepathically with other animals, not to mention Absolon understands the dragon.

Experience Plus- Absolon's awareness of himself and his surroundings are phenomenal in a sense that he is able to use his own body flawlessly, giving him a ridiculous use of martial arts of varying types he has combined into his own style and the expertise to obtain information about given situations and absorb it into himself via a magical tether. His sword skills are nearly on par with his acrobatics and martial arts. In fact being the witness of a battle and being involved in it gives Absolon an even greater aptitude for the techniques and forces he sees used during that battle. Basically his experiences become engraved and integrated into both his subconscious thoughts and his conscious actions as he performs. His available experience on said tactics evolves immediately. Absolon experiences situations much differently than other people in a fashion much like an out of body experience while maintaining his own perceptions and body.

Innate Abilities:
Magic Surplus- Absolon is greatly attuned to the forces of magic, even without his body being influenced by Bahamut or any such materia. Since he was a child the availability of magic to him was always present, so using materia only amplified his natural magical affinities. His understanding of magic is extensive, being able to cast and defend against higher tier spells with relative ease or lack of any effort, Absolon has the innate power to adjust his own magic accordingly and even use to cause unorthodox uses of it on himself.

Mental Sanctuary- Absolon's thoughts alone have acted as a gateway into his own mind making it entirely customizable, unable to be damaged by outside forces. His own mental structure can be altered at will manifest emotions, sensations, perceptions, consciousness, memories and personality. In the same sense he has access to all of these features of his own mind while giving efficiency and psychological conform in all situations, while preserving Absolon's ability to feel sensations and emotions. This ability also grants the him complete immunity to mind-related abilities and magics.

Theme: [Because we're all epic and thus we should have epic music following us at every moment of our lives]

Trivia: [Random stuff that people can know about your character]

King Naruto · Jun 7, 2013

“I have lived and fought through many wars... and witnessed their results. The foulest of all, being how they sever the bonds that unite us. It is time I changed that. I stand unarmed, to offer a challenge! So that we, from here forth, MAY NEVER AGAIN FIGHT OUR BROTHERS!!!”

Name:
Kalem Hollander

Age:
22

Personality:

Kalem has grown up to be a very calm, confident and self-assured person. He is not an aggressive individual and does not seek to harm others without a good reason. As a result, he is normally defensive during confrontations. He holds friendship and bonds in very high regard and pities those who do not understand the importance of these concepts. He is also very perceptive and is always amongst the first to sense when he or his teammates are in trouble. In such situations he is not above asking for help and is open to forging brief alliances with enemies or rivals for survival. This stems from his belief that it is better to live to fight another day than to let your stubbornness kill you today. He is also very charismatic and is a skilled orator. As such he is also reasonably skilled in diplomacy and can often talk people into doing things they were initially reluctant to do. He is normally polite and respectful to others and treats others with the appropriate degree of respect. He also a forgiving person and expects the best of everyone he meets. As such the first impressions that he makes about others are not biased due to hatred or arrogance.

Appearance:
The Knight of Shinra

His Silver Metal Gauntlets

Arm Tattoo

Kalem's physique is exceptional. He is noted for a rather lean abdomen, but highly muscular and toned, which he isn't afraid to - though unintentionally - flaunt. Furthermore; his arms and legs are also very muscular, as a result of extreme training on his part. Most of the time, relatively loose clothes on normal people would become tighter on him because of his muscular definition. Finally, the last feature of his natural body that is worth noting is the large tattoo that is on his left arm, which takes up the entirety of the arm. He appears to have had it for a significant period of time.

Weapon:

Metal Gauntlets - Kalem has two metal gauntlet that were created for him upon his induction into SOLDIER. The quality of the metal is nothing special but just so happens to be quite tough. Anything special about these gauntlet does not exist besides style and protection.

LightBringer - As one would expect a knight to wield a sword, Cid has a blade that is golden in the middle with silver edges. Its hilt is covered in red bandages and has an odd sort of "ring" right above to the hand guard. Magic effortlessly flows within it causing the metal to gain a considerably leap in strength. The compatibility of the magic and blade give it an untold force, slicing through various metals with ease and tearing apart magical forces to an extent. LightBringer shares a special link with Cid and grows stronger along with him - the blade leeching off of his mana reserves in order to grow in power,

A key trait of LightBringer is it's ability to absorb forces of darkness, manifesting it to light for his weaponry, bearing the power to use this light for various means. Using it to increase the cutting and piercing power in his weapon itself, or channeling into it's wielder, absorbing into them: granting them more mana and providing light healing to his injuries. One of the key traits of the Shadow Absorption is that it can absorb abilities such as Gravity, taking away it's power and drastically increasing it's own uses. Lest it be known that Light Bringer cannot enhance itself off of Cid's own magic but, it can return his mana to him.

Cetra Materia:

Dark Knight - A Dark Knight is a Knight that has given up his honor in return for dark powers that use his own life to destroy his opponent.. The Cetra whose soul is within Kalem’s materia was once a man who practiced the arts of a Dark Knight to such a degree that his power was feared amongst all Cetra. This knowledge and power has been passed down to Kalem, who’s body can harness the abilities of a Dark Knight. His body takes in training and learns Dark Knight abilities at an accelerated pace. The symbol of the Dark Knight now branded on Kalem's left arm.

Warp: Rather than being an ability in and of itself, Warp is a spell taught to every single Dark Knight initiate during the early years of their training; and from then on they refine it. When a Dark Knight uses Warp it instantly vanishes in a puff of black smoke, before quickly reappearing at to any desired spot within range. The movement is very quick; and the spell is highly unsettling, to the degree that only the most seasoned and experienced Dark Knights can follow up their warp-movement with an attack, much less another spell or ability.

Darkness: The trademark ability of all Dark Knights is referred to with many names, Soul Eater, Shadow Wave; but by far the most common is simply Darkness; and it sums up the effects of this technique perfectly. Unlike most other supernatural abilities, this ability does not draw upon mana for power, but instead saps its users life-force in direct proportion to the intensity of the effect. When invoked, the power takes the form of a cold, cloying miasma of greasy darkness that emanates outwards from the Dark Blade of Knight in a powerful wave of twisted energy, anyone hit by this wave of shadows are instantly subjected to acute weakness, sickness and - due to the cold, unforgiving nature of the technique, powerful cold damage, which in turn can lead to frostbite.

Drain: A spell that conjures the forces of Elder Magic in order to sap an enemy's very life-force and replenish Kalem's own. It is an advanced spell which takes a significant amount of time to competently cast. Kalem is known to have grasped the foundations of the spell, and is beginning towards its mastery.

Delay Buster: One of the finest of his techniques, and one that is commonly mistaken for Time Magic. It lets Kalem charge his sword, filling it with an mana that infects an enemy once hitting them. This mana-virus will impede the natural production of abilities, inhibiting them from casting a spell or using any ability for the next ten-twenty seconds (varying on how strong his foe is). Used in a pinch situation, many find themselves distraught and panicking, further increasing the Delay to it's max duration. This enables a window in which the Knight of Shinra can use to take, shutting down his enemies hard.

Thunder Strike: Kalem infuses his sword with the might of Thunder Magic, increasing the length of the blade as well. When making impact, the electrically charged weapon will send a shockwave of nerve-wracking pain enters the enemies body, rioting within them and destroying them. Thunder Strike is particularly strong against water based opponents.

Fire Strike: Now done with the element of fire, heated to where it could cut through solid steel with ease. Dangerous amounts of fire energy is wielded to annihilate an enemy. With such fervor, the strike can destroy an entire machine, carving it in half. With anything less then a superb defense, the strike will burn through the armor and resistances, and destroy those within.

Materia:

Sense - Kalem can gain information about a person through intrinsic knowledge, as in it just "comes to" his mind when activated. This can only be used upon people, allowing Kalem to know one’s vitality, Mana level, and any weaknesses they may possess when pertaining to his own abilities. There is a magical block that resonates from the materia that makes Kalem unable to remember any information he learned from Sense if he attempts to rely this information to other people.

Innate Abilities:

Expert Swordsmanship Specialist: Kalem is a swordsman of masterful caliber despite not being "classified" as a master. He has the skills needed to keep up with most high-leveled swordsman, at the least in the terms of sheer skill. Yet it is his slightly lacking physical abilities that bring him down. Regardless, Kalem style is an agile and very active style. He doesn't use an aerial-oriented style, but rather simply moves as a snake would through the ground. Mimicking an opponent's moves with his own, he parries and counters, twisting and turning, he uses his powerful swords in battle with expert skill. Although his skill is truly very high, he has a single flaw, which is inexperience. He is unable to keep up with swordsman who have been fighting for years on-end, considering the amount of experience a masterful swordsman possesses, they are able to alter their movements in only a moment, causing a disruption in Kalem's own movements, thus, preventing him from being able to defeat them. Regardless, his skill in swordsmanship has high expectation.

Superhuman Strength - Kalem's strength is one to be noted. He is able to catch strikes from officers of a much larger stature, and throw them away, all with a single hand. His sword strikes can cause even steel structures to be broken down (this is coupled with the strength of his blade). He is also able to create minor shock waves when slicing the air, another indication of his strength

Superhuman Speed and Agility: Kalem is in possession of a naturally lithe frame. Making him perfect for maneuvering through small areas of space at high speeds, and his high leg strength gives him the ability to use acrobatics without much effort. He is also shown to use this speed and agility very effectively in combat and the usage of his own fighting style, making for a deadly combination.

Artemis · Jun 8, 2013

"We've all suffered, but the time for mourning is over. Now, it's time we make them suffer."

Name: Odesza Reyes

Age: 24

Personality: As a child, Odesza was very loud and obnoxious. She grew up idolizing rebels and rule breakers, aspiring to one day be like them. However, as she matured, she grew more somber and respectful, though she lost none of her vivacity. Many have sensed this change to be a response to the death of her brother, whom she was very close to. She is very charismatic and headstrong, and her stubborn ways have often landed her in dangerous situations. She has a quick wit and sharp tongue, though she usually saves the jests for those she is close with. She is generally distrusting of people she meets until she has learned more about them, though she will cooperate with them if the benefit is at least mutual. She holds those she does trust in the highest regards and is a vehemently loyal friend to them, willing to do almost anything they ask of her. She believes firmly in the cause of AVALANCHE and will do whatever it takes to make her mentors proud.

Appearance: This. She is roughly 5'7 and 135 lbs. She is very fit, as she has spent her entire life running around and training in martial arts. Her clothes are hand-me-downs from other AVALANCHE members, as most of hers were lost years ago. (I know she looks a lot like Tifa, the artist said it was supposed to be her sister, but disregard that. The resemblance will merely be noted as uncanny, since they share clothes).

Weapon: Tazer Knuckles, iron rings that Odesza slips over her gloves that deliver an electrical charge. They are optimal for close combat, allowing her to utilize her extensive martial arts training. The power of the electrical charge can be changed, ranging from a tiny shock to electrocution, though it becomes hazardous and potentially fatal to her if the charge goes beyond a certain level. Most of the time she keeps them at a medium charge, enough to stun an opponent for several seconds. They can also be used without the charge, functioning as regular iron knuckles.

Cetra Materia: Currents of Life

Odesza has only just begun to bond with her Cetra, so her control over the materia is very feeble. The soul to which she is bound was a guardian to other Cetra, offering protection and providing energy to them with the use of their mastery over the electrical currents within the air. From generating simple charges to creating electrical storms, the Cetra was able to exercise unrivaled control over the element itself as well as it's sources. Aside from the destructive properties, the Cetra was proficient in the healing and energizing properties as well.

GalvaWaves: Harnessing the power of the electrical static within the air, the Cetra was able to create formidable shock waves of electrical energy that could shock and repel enemies. Those caught at the center of the wave suffered more damage as the wave gradually lost power as it traveled. Any electrically powered items within the wave risked the possibility of malfunctioning or even self destructing.The strength and distance of the wave depended on the concentration of the Cetra, and Odesza is usually capable of creating little more than a static ripple. However, when she becomes emotionally compromised she is susceptible to larger, more dangerous and uncontrolled waves.

Neurasthenia: Our bodies are full of electrical activity, most of which takes place within the circuit of the Nervous System. Neurons are electrically excitable, maintaining voltage gradients across their membranes, which are responsible for the synaptic connections with other cells. The Cetra, with an intense amount of concentration, was able to harness the power of these synapses and control the firing of a target's neurons. This gave the Cetra control over escape and defense mechanisms (their speed of transmission is the fastest, as compared to reflexes that use chemical synapses) as well as the cerebral cortex, which houses functions for memory, perceptual awareness, thought, language, and consciousness. At this early stage of bonding, Odesza struggles to control herself with this power, and her experimentation with it has often led to irreversible damage to her target's Nervous System, though she is improving and can execute minute tasks easily.

Chain Reaction: Combined with the simple ability to generate an electrical charge, the Cetra was able to fire it at an enemy and chain it to surrounding enemies in arcs. The strength depended on the number of adjacent targets, as fewer targets would yield a higher shock to each. However, the Cetra was regarded for their ability to electrocute almost twenty attackers with one burst.

Materia:
Enemy Skill - Upon encountering threatening persons, Odesza is able to perceive the moves of those attacking her.

Innate Abilities:
Martial arts - Odesza grew up training in hand to hand combat, dappling in various styles and giving her a solid foundation in the martial arts. She is exceptionally strong in Karate, Jujutsu, and Taekwando, and is proficient in the deadly Krav Maga. By no means an expert, her skill is still superior to even the best fighters. She is not terribly strong, however, and prefers to use speed to attempt to make up for it.

Acrobatics and Athletics - Born atypically flexible for her family, Odesza practiced gymnastics whenever she could as a child. She is outstanding in her tumbling abilities, able to fluidly transition from one move to the next with ease. Her years in AVALANCHE have also conditioned her into a fine athlete, improving her endurance and agility notably. She is able to sprint long distances without tiring, jump higher and farther than the average person, and has been trained in free running/parkour. All these things combine to make her a defensive powerhouse and aficionado of evasive maneuvers.

Faction: AVALANCHE

History: Odesza and her older brother Owen worked for AVALANCHE. He spent most of his time training her and helping her perfect her martials arts abilities as well as taking her on runs around the camp to practice her free running. Though her family had intended her to join the rebellion from a young age, and thus all her training, she joined primarily to spend more time with Owen, whom she idolized for his bravery and leadership skills. After Meteorfall, Owen became dejected at AVALANCHE's apparent failure and distanced himself from the other members and his sister, much to her chagrin. Unbeknownst to them, Owen had contracted Geo Stigma. Odesza was only able to realize this once it was too late, and painfully watched her brother wither away under the disease, helpless to save him. With some of his last breaths, he praised her hard work and challenged her to succeed in what he could not.

She has now dedicated her career in AVALANCHE to finding a cure for Geo Stigma and putting an end to Jenova and Sephiroth's reign of terror. Tifa has taken over her training.

Theme: Two Steps From Hell - All is Hell That Ends Well

Trivia:
-Odesza likes to drink, but gets the worst hangovers.
-She sometimes snorts when she laughs, much to her embarrassment.

"According to my calculations, this skirmish will end in approximately four seconds. I highly suggest you reevaluate your battle strategy if you want to be saved the embarrassment."

Name: A.C.U. [Active Combat Unit] 02 – Romakiku (Roma)

Age: 1 year of activation

Personality: Being manufactured in the image of the human race has allowed Roma to take on her own persona contrary to the stone-faced models before her. In fact, the only element that separates her from a human being is the lack of a soul…and the fact that she does not get along well with metal detectors. Roma is portrayed as your average 18-year-old with more maturity and responsibilities than most. In fact, she still acts childish from time to time—pouting whenever she doesn’t receive the hard-hitting assignments or never calling anyone by their given name. That same child-like behavior can also be translated as a need for competition.

Despite her self-indulgent bearings, Roma’s effectiveness in carrying out operations is beyond flawless. Able to calculate features on a whim such as, the distance between her and her target, gravitational pull of the earth, speed of the wind, mph of a lightning strike and velocity needed to obliterate her adversary, Roma has a 100% completion rate on every single mission she decides to take on. These numbers are not a result of half-assed efforts but a combination of both durability and fastidiousness. In spite of being programmed to love the mission she absolutely loathes confrontation outside of scheduled events.

Appearance: Built in the appearance of a teenage girl around 17 or 18, Roma’s features are designed to blend in with a regular crowd of humans when not in combat mode. An average frame of 169 centimeters and 55 kilograms, Roma’s figure is intended never to grow or shrink under any circumstance. The android’s body composition mirrors that of a high school track athlete— a toned torso, curved back and shoulders complimented by her proportionate leg length. Short brown hair cut just before the nave of the neck, her topaz eyes are partially shadowed by her left-brushed banes. The shape and proportion of her head is aesthetically pleasing in that Roma’s soft nose, high cheek bone placement and luscious lips would easily grant her a 9/10 if not an extra point thrown in for generosity. Synthetic skin is a difficult matter to produce and as a result, Roma’s complexion has a cyan tint to it as if she’s never seen the light of day. Around specific parts of her body (mainly where weapons protrude from) there are light manufacturing lines and bolts numbered in accordance with each weapon.

Attire wise, Roma does not necessarily dress to impress. More often than not she is seen with her usual SOLDIER uniform save for a few changes that reflect per personality. The usual navy turtleneck is substituted for a black tank top. The usual blade holsters are also eliminated due to the fact that it simply serves no purpose. A brown belt about two inches in width rests on her waist as it has pouches on the back and sides for various tools. Shinra’s design is branded on the face of the belt. A navy, black and white plaid skirt stretches down about for inches from her knees. Finally, the trademark combat boots have been removed for a pair of knee high boots with a two inch heel.

Weapon (Armaments/Equipment): As the name Active Combat Unit implies, Roma herself is a weapon designed for combat. Each one of her limbs, weapons and head are detachable from her torso. Pain and fatigue are deemed non-existent since Roma was built without any nerve endings or a cardio system. Much like any machine, she is subject to overheating yet even that has a counter as Roma’s body emits steam from her joints which act as a cooling method.

Scatter Shot – Roma’s fingertips are able to double back on themselves to uncover the same mechanics that propel machine gun bullets at standard speeds for a firearm.

Chain Blade – A steampunk-inspired weapon whose blade is not a traditional sharp end but several sharp points that vibrate at ludicrous speeds able to cut through massive iridium blocks with ease. This blade is usually hidden in Roma’s left arm and when called upon, the hilt juts out from her shoulder. A gear is positioned in the middle of the blade to allow it to fold when not in use.

Mythril Whip – Linked together by a series of chains covered by a carbon fiber casing, this item is stored into both of Roma’s palms. The swiftness at which the whip is shot from its barrel is equal to that of a standard firearm. The tips of the whips are pointed and even denser than the chain itself.

Rocket Thrusters – Built into the bottom of her feet, Roma is able to move into three dimensions with adept control over her body. The thrusters propel enough energy to lift Roma in the air for several hours if needed. As such, she can control the velocity of productivity the thrusters emit and can speed up or slow down whenever necessary.

Mako Cannon – Despite Roma’s systems being solely reliant on Mako energy, 60% of the matter is concentrated for the use of the Mako Cannon stored in her right arm. The cannon itself has three firing modes. The first being a single compressed beam of energy that is mainly used for long range attacks. The second a close range shot primarily used to create distance between Roma and her target. This attack has little destructive power yet the knockback is immense. Lastly is the cannon’s main function which fires six consecutive shots and hones in on the target as long as they are in Roma’s line of sight. The six shots are no larger than that of an infant’s fist although the critical capacity is one to be taken seriously.

Evoker (Mythologia's End becomes ineffective)– An enhanced combat state that increases Roma’s offensive and defensive output tenfold. While using the Evoker, Roma’s body constantly emits steam as a result of the Mako energy lining her body reaching boiling temperatures. Despite having such a huge spike in combat control, Roma does not lose her personality. In fact, her calculations would be deemed to be even sharper than in her standard state. As much as the Evoker state has to offer, there is only a five minute time limit (5 posts) before her body completely shuts down. Afterwards, not even her artificial mind is able to boot up and thus Roma becomes a lifeless hunk of imitation flesh. A 1-hour cooling period is needed before her systems can begin functioning and even then it is a 24-hour window before the Evoker state can be activated again.

Cetra Materia:

Mythologia's End – Not having ownership of a complete soul only leaves one other option: borrow one. Myth's End grants the user the ability to accelerate and decelerate forces on a whim. In other words, Roma is able to alter the vector quantity of any object and distort the velocity, temperature and electrical flow. A thorough understanding of the laws of physics is needed to account for any means of usage for the Materia. Of course this would be deemed immensely difficult if it were granted to someone who was not a walking calculator.

Regulation of the Materia has many uses. First, it allows Roma to exhibit terrifying superhuman strength and speed by altering the force behind her punches and pressure behind her footsteps. This method also extends to her projectiles (not including the Mako Cannon). The speed of her standard bullets can be slowed down to a crawl yet still cause an impact large enough to create a second crater. The force of gravity can also be manipulated with this Materia. However this is only limited to a five foot radius with Roma as the centerpiece. Given the small area, Roma can increase the gravitational pull of the earth so that her body itself 'weighs' slightly over a ton.

Materia:

N/A

Innate Abilities:

Body Control – In Roma’s programming, distribution of weight during conflict becomes second nature. Roma’s agility competes with that of the world’s best warriors—past, present and future. Her fighting style can almost be considered a work of art seeing as the elegance and grace coupled with tenacity and drive, this life form can seemingly go blow for blow with beings immensely stronger than her in terms of brute force as Roma’s is only slightly above average.

Defensively, Body Control places Roma into awkward positions for her opposition such as a knockback attack sending her west would ultimately direct her east given the correct circumstances.

Libra – The crosshairs encoded into Roma’s ocular data allow for anyone to be analyzed just by looking at them. Age, height, weight, Materia, threat level and any information Shinra has in their archives are all calculated in less than three seconds.

Faction: DeepGround 1st Class SOLDIER

History: A project whose completion was the result of Shinra's best minds, Roma is the epitome of science's golden child. Over a span of 4 years, Shinra would take on a myriad of experiments at once under the title of "The Combat Unit Series". An immense amount of time and money was poured into research and development and as a result, only four of the units are currently active. Each experiment was assigned a specific trait in order to contest the opposition. The prototype series (marked 00) ultimately became defective when infused with regular human cells and DNA. Unlike human candidates for SOLDIER, the compatibility of Mako and generic cells deemed to be ineffective and thus the prototype series was eventually discontinued but not without taking their failures into account.

In the case of Romakiku (02), the android had been animated by the use of Jenova cells. With the introduction of Jenova cells into the process, the Mako compatibility and sync rate at which the sentient computer AI and the lifeless body fused exceeded even the creator's expectations. After six months of tests and examinations, Roma was granted the title of SOLDIER 1st class, without having to undergo any prerequisites. Since then, she has excelled in any given assignments as well as forming relationships with those inside of DeepGround regardless of whether or not those see her as a tool or a comrade.

Absolon knows that many girls are a sucker for a nice ass which is exactly why his is flawless, muscled and juicy. The cleft of Absolon’s back tapers directly down to his more than luscious booty. These days people have all types of names for a nice backside but he prefers the term, “cake.” Further down this man has a strong, sturdy set of legs with rock solid thighs that can only be assumed are due to the regimen he employs to keep his ass plump not to mention him being able to manipulate things.

"I think that prayers are always heard, but ultimately it is up to us to fulfill them."

Name:
Nia Kesia
Age:
23
Personality:
Nia is, to put it simply, a carefree spirit. In spite of the tragedy that has befallen the planet, she is hopelessly optimistic. She believes that the time will come when everything will be back to as it was. She is cheerful and bright, her smile never seems to falter or fade. She has an iron resolve, believing it is her destiny to help everyone that she can, and will not change her mind once it is set. She is sweet and caring, but many note that her kindness is burdened by her naivete. She is trusting to a fault and gives everyone the benefit of the doubt. She seems a bit on the ditzy side, not understanding sarcasm and taking jokes seriously. She comes off as air headed and dense, and even when you have her attention it feels like at any moment she can get distracted. Her youthful optimism can also get a bit ridiculous to any sane person.

She wants to be able to trust people, and gets very hurt when that trust is betrayed. She is sensitive when it comes to people's weaknesses and doesn't seem to understand why people can be evil. This gives everyone the impression that she is very sheltered. She doesn't like anyone seeing her upset or sad, and will gladly shove aside her own feelings to stay strong for everyone else. Despite her oddities her fears of the sky and fighting are serious to her, and while she won't admit it, she gets a little upset when people laugh whens he tells them. She tries to keep a level head but she worries too much about everyone and doesn't think about herself. She is, however, good at putting up a brave face, and if the situation calls for it, she won't hesitate to protect those close to her.
Appearance:
Nia is a young woman standing at five foot four with fair skin and long limbs. Her body is on the slender side, her face heart shaped with green eyes and full cheeks. Her long, wavy hair easily reaches her waist and is colored a reddish-brown, her bangs parted in the middle and framing her face. She wears a short pink dress, a silver bracelet, and short silver boots.
Weapon:

Despite her dislike of fighting, Nia knows how to defend herself. She wields a collapsible bow. She is a long ranged fighter, often acting more as a mage with little physical capabilities in terms of hand-to-hand combat.
Cetra Materia:
Eyes of the Goddess
Said to be the eyes of the Goddess Minerva herself. Nia's eyes change from green to a hazy blue anytime she activates her abilities. The consistent use of the Eyes puts a strain on Nia's own eyesight, although she is given visions they are hardly of her own volition. She is prone to fainting spells after each use, as they take a lot of energy to use, and thus she hardly accesses these abilities.

Until Next Time
The ability that takes the most effort to use, as well as the most unpredictable. The Eyes grant Nia a vision of the future. This vision is often brief, clouded, and passes through rather quickly, resulting in her unable to actually see what happened. If completely focused, she will see the vision clearly and at a normal pace; the consequences, however, put the most strain on her body. She will sometimes get random visions when she is asleep, although they are arguably worse because she has a harder time remembering them. She will only use this if it is absolutely necessary, as this usually takes up all her energy and causes her to collapse right then and there.

Here and Now
A green tattoo appears on her left arm, reaching from the tip of her middle finger and reaching all the way to her shoulder, the tattoo itself appearing as a vine of flowers. This ability enhances any equipped materia Nia has on hand, doubling their power, and with more time passing, even tripling them. It also temporarily boosts Nia's physical capabilities. The tattoo acts as a timer for Nia's physical enhancement, as once the time's up, the tattoo goes from green to blue, and slowly starts disappearing, tripling Nia's magical power but slowly draining her. If the tattoo manages to fade to her shoulder, the Eyes will instantly knock her out, and thus she must cancel the ability before then.

Like You and Me
The last of her abilities, and also the simplest and least straining. Her Eyes let her find and track down other Cetra descendants. She does not have to know who they are, although it is easier if she has met them. As a tracking ability, it is straightforward. She also has said that because it is believed that even regular humans are just Cetra that had forsaken their heritage, she can theoretically find anyone in the world if she had to.

Materia:
[Fire]
[Ice]
[Lightning]
[Restore]
Innate Abilities:
Nia is very in-tune with nature and her surroundings. At times, she is able to hear the whispers of her ancestors, although she admits it's difficult. She also possesses the uncanny ability to detect people's lies. She is about as fit as any average woman is her age.
Faction:
N/A
History:
As of now, Nia's memory is a little fuzzy, to say the least; she recalls growing up in Midgar and is positive she has a home there, but she thinks she was somewhere else at the time of Meteorfall (otherwise she is certain she would've been dead), that place being Nibelheim. Once she found out Midgar was destroyed, she despaired at having lost both her home and mother, who had been wiped out by Meteor. While Shinra did their best to accomadate those now homeless, Nia took it upon herself to help. She began by doing small performances and provided healing to those that needed it. While those with Geostigma were outcasted, she felt pity and often smuggled food to feed the people that had been kicked out. Once Edge became a safe haven for those infected, she accompanied a small group and traveled with them on foot; her materia helped to defend them against monsters. She also did her best to pick up other outcast people, and eventually they managed to reach Edge with no casualties (some, though, had fallen to the disease).
Recently she went back to Gongaga to visit a family friend who had offered her a home; however, after an ambush by a monster, she hit her head and doesn't seem to remember a lot about what happened.

Trivia:
She loves chocobos, and wishes to ride one.
Despite thinking she's a little old for it, she adores anything pink.
She loves sweets and dislikes anything bitter.

She seems to be very afraid of Shinra, but when asked why she isn't able to pinpoint an exact reason.

"Forgiveness is not something given. It must be earned."

Name:
Princess Bianca Eira
Age:
19
Personality:
Bianca is a straightforward girl: she likes to get right to the point and won't have it any other way. She is also polite to a tee and will not disrespect anyone she speaks to. Her speech is eloquated and she always keeps herself poised. She is graceful, or at least does her damned best to make people think she is, as she is a lady and will not have anyone think of her otherwise. She is prim and proper, and is a bit on the snobbish side, though this is downplayed somewhat. She is also blunt, and sarcasm is a second language for her. She seems very serious and uptight, and many have mentioned that they hardly see her smile, if at all.

Bianca has forced herself to give up a life of luxury in exchange for going on the frontlines. She loathes Shinra, blaming them for creating Sephiroth in the first place, and as a result hates the company and anything having to do with it. She is a bit on the cold side, and wants to be treated as an adult and not a child. While she'll never admit it, she is actually rather lonely, and really just wants to be able to socialize with people, but she has a hard time due to being socially awkward. She does, however, try to make indirect attempts at trying to socialize with others, though that was when she was rich and could simply buy out Costa Del Sol for a day and invite 'acquaintances'. That and it is always obvious and written on her face what she is feeling.

Appearance:
Bianca makes sure her appearance is the best money can by. Her pale skin is virtually free of any blemishes, looking creamy and smooth. She has a childish face, huge blue-green eyes subtracting numbers from her age. Her blonde hair is cut just above the middle of her back, her bangs hanging above her eyes. Her choice of attire is a fancy, light blue cascade dress, a silver necklace and a pair of white wedges.
Weapon:
Claire DeLune
Bianca is always calm, cool and collected, able to make decisions at a second's notice. While strategy is not her forte, she is always aware of her surroundings and accommodates to changes. Her style prioritizes swift attacks, and despite not being too strong physically, the sheer amount of attacks she belts out make up for it.
Cetra Materia:
Platform
Bianca is able to conjure up platforms that she can step on and use as leverage. The platforms can be used in any spot, and are medium sized in general. The most common use of her power is the two platforms she uses beneath her feet, making it appear as if she is hovering above the ground; these are constant in battle and let her skate around.

Materia:
[N/A]
Innate Abilities:
Bianca is accomplished at wielding her rapier, having been training from a young age. She is also very agile and lithe, making her a small target to hit. She has trained herself for stamina, and as a result can fight for quite a while without getting winded or tired.
Faction:
AVALANCHE
History:
Once upon a time, Bianca's family was a wealthy one that resided in Midgar. Bianca got everything she wanted, and her life was a breeze. When Meteor was summoned, her family was evacuated to their resort in Costa Del Sol. When Midgar was destroyed, her parents assured her that everything would be alright, but they kept their daughter within their home to keep her out of danger, only letting her leave for her daily lessons and training (she begged her father to let her continue, who agreed because he couldn't say no to her). On the day Leviathan attacked, once again she was whisked away; this time, however, she witnessed firsthand the sea serpent's power. It was then that she realized that no matter how much she would run away, nothing would change. At this time, she began keeping up with the news and despite everyone's efforts, the situation was going nowhere. Despite her parents' pleas, she joined AVALANCHE--not only to fight, but to find answers behind the madman that is responsible for so many lost lives.
Theme:
Bianca's Theme - Mirror Mirror
Trivia:
Princess is her legal first name, not a title. She is very embarrassed by this and goes by her middle name.
On the topic of her name, she dislikes nicknames, as for whatever reason people tend to nickname her 'princess'.
She isn't a big fan of sweets but is always up for a nice cup of tea and cookies.
Despite joining AVALANCHE, she isn't thrilled about it, as she remembers them being responsible for much damage to Midgar.
She is left handed, fights with her left, but writes with her right hand.

"Me? I, uh, like shooting stuff."

Name:
Lorelai "Lori" Charlotte
Age:
21
Personality:
Lori is a plucky kind of girl; she knows she's not important, so she may as well enjoy life while it's good--even if it isn't. She's a friendly person, often interested in other people. She's a bit scatterbrained but a good person overall. She is somewhat of a klutz, though she doesn't try to break things. She is loyal to a tee and values friendship above all, but she can get a bit preachy with her friendship speeches. Still, she's fun to be around and is well aware that she isn't the one running the show, so she makes the best of what she has.
Lori has a crippling fear of water; you can blame Leviathan for that.

Appearance:
Lori is a very tall, willowy girl with lanky limbs and a goofy grin to match. Her very long hair is dyed pink, and she has light blue eyes. She wears simple things, though she is usually in her uniform.
Weapon:
Lori's weapons change with her 'mode'. Her default is a revolver
Cetra Materia:
Trinity Limit
Lori's materia calls upon three separate souls, resulting in an ancient technology brought to the present. These 'dresspheres' call back a specific class from ages past, granting her unique abilities to each class. However, the amount of souls results in Lori often arguing with them, as one is actively trying to take over her mind. Yeah...

Default - "Eyes on the target."
Lori's 'default', in which she wears her Turk uniform. There are no enhancements, only her skill. Despite its primitive nature, Lori treasures her revolver and it's gotten her out of pinches before.

Lady Luck - "Luck is on my side."
A dip in the gambler's life, she wields cards that effortlessly slice through objects. Every so often, their effects change by having an added effect, although that is all luck; sometimes the cards are flaming, sometimes they explode, other times they petrify, and so on and so forth. Her actual luck also goes off the charts and tends to make events--and battles--unpredictable.

Songstress - "My time to shine!"
A look at a legend, this is her healing mode, and her personal favorite. It grants her supportive materia abilities, and grants her a quick casting speed. Her songs also enhance her allies abilities, so long as she keeps singing.

Berserker - "The phrase 'go wild' is about to take on a whole new meaning."
The strongest of her spheres, but also the one trying to take over her brain for whatever reason. At the start, her horns are relatively small. With more time passing, they grow in size, as does her strength and attack power. As they grow her hands start becoming claws, and she relatively beings to go berserk (badum tish), focusing on doing nothing but attack. She cannot stay too long, as eventually she will not differentiate between friend and foe.
Materia:
[Restore]
[Barrier]
[Time]
Innate Abilities:
Lori has a good accuracy, and is known to be in good physical shape. She tends to stick to supporting others and prioritizes healing above all else. Despite her klutzy nature she has a fast reaction time, and all in all has a good reputation for being good back up for anyone.
Faction:
Turk
History:
Born in Costa Del Sol, Lori grew up fairly normal. Eventually as she got older, she moved to Midgar and worked for Shinra, hoping someday to join the elite SOLDER. Unfortunately that dream never came to volition. On the day of Meteorfall she was helping evacuating the citizens, and describes the destruction of Midgar as 'truly terrifying'. Right after that, however, came Leviathan's attack. She got caught in a wave after rescuing a child, and nearly drowned in the process. She then developed a fear of water and chose to stay away from it. She recently got promoted to the Turks.
Theme:
Lorelai's Theme - A Day in the Town
Trivia:
Her hair is naturally blonde. She tried to dye it red, and ended up with pink hair.
Everyone is well aware to not have any sharp objects around her.
She will always fix that thing she broke...as soon as her next paycheck comes.
She is a junk food fanatic.
She wants to someday run Shinra.
She is sometimes known to refer to 'voices in her head', and when no one is paying attention, she argues with them.
Not a fan of water. Can't swim either, for that matter.

"Life is much like chess you know? So tell me, are you a knight, or are you a pawn?"

Name: Vexil
Age: 22

Personality: Vexil is a young man who is hard to figure out, even though it's quite easy for him to figure 'you' out. He likes to put on airs, and appeal to one's personality, because of this it's hard to tell when he's being sincere. Yet, because of his charm and his honest nature he is a reliable ally. He acts as though he cares about people's feelings, and he does, however he's capable of pulling on one's weaknesses and driving them over the edge without a hint of remorse. He believes firmly in his ideals, and more often than not he will go to extremes to fulfill them.

His mannerisms can be very straight forward and brutally honest, if he sees someone acting out of line he will call them out on it. To him beating around the bush only breeds discontent and does nothing to help. His line of work often puts in dangerous situations, though he hardly ever kills. It should be noted however, that he has no problem inflicting pain. He simply believes death to be an off putting solution to problems. He'll help out a friend in need, yet screw anyone else over in the blink of an eye. If you don't mean much to him, then you'll find out in the worst way possible. It's a lost cause trying to figure him out, though you can take solace in the fact that he never lies. If it comes out of his mouth, you can bet that it's 100% the truth as he sees it.

Appearance: Vexil is of a fairly above average height, 6'2 from head to toe to be precise. He has a head of onyx hair, six inches in length and styled solely by how it looks after a nights rest. This messy hair is hardly ever seen however, as Vexil wears a white fedora at seemingly all times. His skin is a dark peach color, showing signs of what looks like a light tan. He has thin slanted eyebrows, which in concert with his narrow icy blue eyes gives him a cunning visage. He has a sharp shaped face, just ever so slightly edged around his jaw line. His physique is fairly athletic, he maintains a slim toned body fit for long sprints or strenuous activity.

He tends to wear a black trench coat.

Weapon: Orochi: A unique weapon reminiscent of a Kusarigama. It possesses no handle, and is composed of a curved blade attached to a cylindrical segmented chain. The chain can extend up to 50 feet, as the segments are capable of stretching in a manner similar to rubber.

Cetra Materia: Mantle of Aegis - The Mantle of Aegis forms a magical cloak around Vexil. The cloak is transparent, and shines with a pale light that leaves a trail of smoky luminescence in it's 20 foot wake. The cloak has multiple functions and properties, most protective in nature, with a secondary focus in offense. The surface of the cloak has a nullifying effect on any form of magic, allowing Vexil to shield himself from most forms of direct magic attacks. Indirect magic may still get through the Aegis, however most of it's effect would be buffered. Vexil must move the mantle via telekinetic control to block direct magic attacks, as such, the mantle is not a perfect defense. The cloak's other function is the ability to morph into various shapes. Mostly, it transforms into different weapons for Vexil to use in battle, though the utilities are near limitless in theory.

Materia: Contain, and through it, Freeze, Break, Tornado, and Flare.

Innate Abilities: Vexil is a highly agile fighter, able to quickly move about the battlefield with little difficulty. This allows him to easily react to opponents attacks and execute deadly counters. He is trained in many martial arts, and can switch his style to accommodate accordingly. Vexil is also adept at formulating battle strategies, even in the midst of combat.

Faction: Deepground

History: Vexil has been with Wutai for as long as he could remember. His 'job' is to act on the behalf of Wutai, therefore, he is now under the command of Deepground. He is not entirely alright with this. Regardless, he has been undertaking solo missions given to him from Deepground, and it was on one of these missions that he discovered his Cetra Materia. This changed everything to him, for before he lacked the one thing he needed to change things. Power.
