Disclaimer: There are spoilers for the first game.

Plot

Spoiler:

You
You are one of the six l'Cie who have been blamed for The Shadow's deeds. Your loved ones might still believe in you but as for everyone else they have reverted back to the way they were before Ragnarok. Your duty is to travel from the ruins of Oerba where you all wake up after receiving you l'Cie mark to New Eden the capitol of Gran Pulse. This will be a long and dangerous journey. Full of Cie'th, wild beasts, hostile civilians, and self discovery and doubt. Each of the six have the same focus. To take down The Shadow and bring forth a new Dawn.

Important information
l'Cie each specialize in three paradigms. Paradigms are the classes that your character takes in battle, that define the abilities you use. In the group you must coordinate who will use what paradigm at what time, planning is important because it can make the difference in a victory or a defeat. These roles all have an important part in battle.
The Commando has enhanced strength and focuses on close attacks being more susceptible to damage.
The Ravager charges enemy chain gauges with concentrated attacks, focuses on magic based abilities based around the elements.
The Sentinel Shields allies from Enemy Attacks, focuses on protective barriars to prevent or lessen damage for a short amount of time.
The Saboteur Boosts allies chances of status afflictions on enemies, uses magic to enhance allies in battle.
The Synergist Boosts allies stats in battle, uses magic to increase stats like power, speed, etc for a short time in battle.
The Medic Heals allies, uses magic to restore allies health in and out of battle.

Each l'Cie as one of the six Eidolon that will reveal itself from within the eidoliths in their l'Cie brand when a l'Cie is in deep despair. You must battle your Eidolon and if you win you gain the power to summon it in battle. When an Eidolon is summoned in battle only the Eidolon and the person who summoned it can battle for the 2 minute timespan. When an Eidolon is summoned the summoner and the summoned are both invincible for those two minutes, during the first minute both fight together, in the second minute the Eidolon transforms into Gestalt mode were they take the form of some sort of vehicle. The Six Eidolon's are Shiva, Odin, Brynhildr, Bahamut, Alexander, and Hecatoncheir

Rules
1. This Rp is rated M for violence.
2. Romance is okay must be kept at a K level.
3. we will be in groups the entire RP, most of the time all together, but there will be times we are in groups of two.
4. Be careful with language, the occassional word is okay, just be respectful of the filter and don't make it every other word.
5. No using any of the characters from Final Fantasy, that means all the games not just XIII.
6. For Battles each time I will choose a different Rp member to control the enemies, it is up to the person controling the enemies if an attack hits or misses.
7. If you wish to gain your Eidolon ask me and I will let you know if it is an appropriate time. My character will be the first to gain theirs so I can show you guys how to proceed with it.
8. There will be no player character death.
9. NPC's can be made just ask first.
10. If you wish to have your characters past be secret that is fine, but you must write out their past and send it to me in a pm for me to approve. Other than my character only one other character may have a hidden past.

"Gran Pulse is simply a play pen for me now, where are the legendary creatures!?" Daniel, whenever he answers what he is doing.
Name: Cloud Lionheart Auron McSephiroth. Lol jk, Daniel Heavens
Age: 21
Gender: Male
Appearance: Daniel has black hair that is usually unkempt and unorganized. He stands at 6 feet tall, with an average build and handsome face. He wears a green, zip-up, hoodie jacket and a plain grey t-shirt under it. On his waist, he keeps his gunblade holster and military pants. He wears low boots as well. He wields his gunblade with his left hand, and has a small targe strapped tightly to his right arm. If needed, he can use both hands to strike, though normally he is strong enough to use his left arm independently. In terms of jewlry, he wears a necklace with a behemoth claw on it (along with several smaller claws as trophies) and a tattoo on his arm resembling a Wyvern's wing, it spans his entire arm.
l'Cie Brand: Center of Back
Weapon: One handed gunblade and a circular targe.
Personality: Daniel is very prideful of his own skill. He knows he is going to win a fight, even if he won't. He does well in a team due to his hunting background, though will attempt to do most of the work just to show off. He tends to brag as well, mostly about himself, though occasionally about his village, and he holds great respect for his heritage. In battles against pulse creatures, Daniel is extremely knowledgeable, being able to identify weaknesses, toughness, and even down to the gender of a creature by looking at them. He is also able to track down many types of beasts, and enjoys the thrill of hunting them.

As for his opinion of being a l'cie, Daniel is rather excited about it. Due to his rather solo-hunt like attitude, he really doesn't care about what people think of him. Though the enhanced powers and magic that being a l'cie gives him is a very large temptation, and he is glad to accept it. Unfortunately, he knows virtually nothing about l'cie, their goals, "rewards", and missions.
History: Daniel was raised in a solo village, founded by former military members of Cocoon. Because they were so isolated, many of them quickly picked up the sport of hunting the beasts of Pulse for sport (and food). By the time Daniel was 14, he already had helped take down his first Feral Behemoth. He was known in his village for his determination and strength in battle, along with his fighting spirit. He was the only child allowed to go on "big hunts" and would often come back with trophies and stores (which he gladly would tell). By the age of 18, he received his first gunblade, showing proficiency in close combat along with accuracy in longer ranges. He also decided to leave the village around that point, looking for bigger game to boost his pride. Over the next two years, he was able to kill a megistotherian by himself, and survived a fight with a behemoth king, (though the loss discouraged him.)

On his 21st birthday, Daniel came upon the Fal'Cie that turned him into a l'cie, though he can't remember how it happened or when.

Paradigms: Commando, Medic, Sentinel
Eidolon: Shiva Sisters
Password: Sp133n5
Other: Since he is less aware of the consequences of being a l'cie, it would do him a favor to either explain the issue, or simply tell him that there is a powerful enemy at the end of this journey.

Sure :) which of the available Eidolon's do you want? That will make it easier for me to reserve you.

Jericho Godbane

__________________________________________________________________________________

Nickname: Jericho

Age: 21

Gender: M

Appearance:

Jericho Godbane is, in simpler terms, a giant. He stands seven feet tall and weighs a good 350 pounds. His bulk allowed him to easily outsize any of his peers, and even non-peers. Nobody knows how Jericho managed to grow to a size that big, but he believes that it is due to a calcium-excessive gene. Nobody knows how that works, and nobody seemed to take Jericho's size a problem, so nobody really cares.

Other than his immense size, nothing from Jericho strikes others as strange. He dyes his hair black, although its original color is a deep brown. His eyes are the color of steel, a deep silver that reminds you of the eyes of a big hunting cat. He sports a thick beard and sideburns, which he dyes like his hair. Jericho is not the "loose fat" type of big guy you meet. In fact, because of the training he undergoes, he looks like a walking tank. He is heavily muscular; the muscle cuts evident in his whole body. He is one guy you definitely don't want to bump. His skin is a deep-brown, that of roasted chestnuts. He is free of any tattoo, though there is a small (relatively) scar across his chest.

For his clothing, he wore a heavy, green cargo vest with many pockets. Underneath it, he wore a plain shirt, usually white, accentuated by a red jumper he connected to his cargo pants. He slung an axe-holster on his back, akin to the quiver used by archers.

l'Cie Brand:

The mark is found at the back of his hand, though he usually hid it with a pair of black smithing gloves.

Weapon:

His preferred weapon is the great axe. He forged his own weapon in the forge in his local area. It is a heavy mass made purely of iron ore. Jericho Godbane chose to lengthen it resulting to a deadly axe four feet long, and seventy-five pounds heavy. The axe's head is a foot long, ending in a smooth, but very sharp, blade. He named it the "Grimaxe."

Personality:

Jericho Godbane, as all giants, is intimidating as he goes. People described their first impression of him as "scary," "frightening," or simply "I peed my pants." However, Jericho is far from that. Despite being an exercise-junkie, Jericho Godbane has a good sense of humor. He offers a ready smile wherever he goes, and people around him learned to not fear, if not love, him for that. Also, he is usually the largest among the group, so he addresses everyone around him as "youngling," even elders.

He also believes that size is power, and that, because of his remarkable size, he is a really powerful guy. Before being branded as an I'Cie, Jericho Godbane is known to challenge foes not normally challenged by any mortal. The strength that comes with his size allows him to overpower, usually, everybody.

In a group, Jericho would not take the role of the supreme leader (though he believes that he is more than suitable for the job, if power is the only thing that should be considered.) The idea behind his reasoning that, in combat, he is more useful in the frontlines rather than commanding from the back. However, he could take the role of the second-in-command, as this gives him enough power to control the tides of battle.

History:

"This power. I don't know what this is, but hey. The mark looks cool, and that I'll probably keep."

Jericho Godbane was raised in the coastal town of New Bodhum. His father was the local blacksmith while his mother is a traveler. She stayed in town just to give birth to Jericho and left, never to be seen again. However, Jericho is contented by how his father raised him. He learned his father's craft and took over the forge by the age of seventeen, when his father became too old to use the hammer. However, Jericho's heart is not built for the forge. Yes, his body is heavily built for the taxing occupation of a blacksmith. Fate intervened, however, and gave him his mother's heart. He knew that what he wanted is to travel Gran Pulse, and beyond if he could manage it. So, when he reached the age of nineteen, he forged his own weapon, the Grimaxe, and told his father his plans. The old man did not agree; he wanted his only son to stay with him. However, Jericho could not be held back. He argued that he is of the proper age to decide on his own. He left New Bodhum with a heavy heart, and without saying goodbye.

For two years, Jericho traveled the land, taking in the sights. More often than not, he confronted different monsters that seemed to pop up everywhere. His greatest game was a wild Kaiser Behemoth, though Jericho sustained the cross-shaped scar across his chest during the battle. He could not defeat the monster if not for the group he was in. Afterwards, he became careful of the creatures he met, as he had difficulty in battling the monster, especially when it decided to stop playing with him and use Heave.

Jericho was in the ruins of Obera investigating an increase in the number of Ghasts when the Fal'Cie who turned him into an I'Cie appeared before him. He could only look in amazement as he was slowly transformed.

Paradigms: Commando, Sentinel, Synergist

Eidolon: Bahamut

Password: Re5091

Other: Jericho Godbane does not understand the mechanics of being an I'Cie, and the role of one.

miltankRancher: your reserved

and here's my character.

Name: Aurora
Nickname: Rora
Age: 18
Gender: Female
Appearance:

Spoiler:

l'Cie Brand: on her lower right side
Weapon: a katana and a dagger
Personality: Aurora is a very standoffish person. She strives to be the best and wants nothing more than to complete her focus. She will go to all lengths in order to do so. She is tough and hates to display vulnerability. In fact she will only show how vulnerable she is under her tough outer layer around those she trusts with her life. It will take her time to open up to the others in the group, but that doesn't mean she won't protect them. She's a fighter with a mysterious past she rarely talks about. She is protective though, especially of those younger than her.
History: Not much is known about Aurora's past, in fact she rarely talks about it and no one knows her real name. A member of the Guardian Corps she was called out to the ruins of Oerba to investigate a possible sighting of The Shadow's meddling, upon her arrival she saw five others there, and when she went to call out a Pulse Fal'Cie made itself known and marked the six of them as l'Cie. (My character has a hidden past that will be revealed throughout the story.)
Paradigms: Commando, Ravager, Medic
Eidolon: Odin

"Gran Pulse is simply a play pen for me now, where are the legendary creatures!? All this magic and I have nothing to use it on except that which I could've killed without!" Daniel, after receiving his l'cie powers.
Name: Cloud Lionheart Auron McSephiroth. Lol jk, Daniel Heavens
Age: 21
Gender: Male
Appearance: Daniel has black hair that is usually unkempt and unorganized. He stands at 6 feet tall, with an average build and handsome face.

Though the enhanced powers and magic that being a l'cie gives him is a very large temptation, and he is glad to accept it. Unfortunately, he knows virtually nothing about l'cie, their goals, "rewards", and missions.

He shouldn't be described as mean, rather as a wild card, caring only for himself and whatever helps his goal. (Though he is quiet nice to people who listen to his stories, or compliment his skills.) He sees life as a hunting game, and as far as he is concerned, he is the MVP.
History: Daniel was raised in a solo village, founded by former military members of Cocoon. Because they were so isolated, many of them quickly picked up the sport of hunting the beasts of Pulse for sport (and food). His mother died giving birth to him, so he was raised mostly by his father. At the age of ten, he single handedly beat a young Wyvern using a smsll sword. And by the time Daniel was 14, he already had helped take down his first Feral Behemoth. He was known in his village for his determination and strength in battle, along with his fighting spirit. He was the only child allowed to go on "big hunts" and would often come back with trophies and stores (which he gladly would tell).

On his 21st birthday, Daniel came upon the Fal'Cie that turned him into a l'cie, though he can't remember how it happened or when. As soon as he awoke though, he realized the power given to him and is determined to get a second fight at a King Behemoth.

Khawill: your Pending, just add a tiny bit more to your history. Your a little under the minimum word limit for that section. But other than that the rest of your sign up is fine.

Khawill · May 7, 2013

Fixed! Also, is it find if he has a natural libra against beasts? (not cieth) It ties into his story, and is mostly beneficial.

SylveonStar · May 7, 2013

Khawill: That's fine :) your accepted

miltankRancher · May 8, 2013

I finished my SU! Tell me if there is something that needs to be changed. :)

SylveonStar · May 8, 2013

miltankRancher: looks great :) your accepted

miltankRancher · May 8, 2013

yay! thanks!

I find the lack of players for this RP really disturbing.

SylveonStar · May 8, 2013

I agree, I hope more people join. It's lack of interest and people never posting that's killed every other rp I've made

miltankRancher · May 8, 2013

Let's hope against that. It's been a while (I don't actually remember the last) since a Final Fantasy RP arrived.

SylveonStar · May 8, 2013

Not sure how long it's been since there was a final fantasy RP on here.

Khawill · May 8, 2013

I was going to make a FFX one, though never got around to it

SylveonStar · May 10, 2013

Try to spread the word about this Rp so we can fill the rest of the spots

miltankRancher · May 12, 2013

How about we go start with three people and just fill in the spots with other RP'ers as we go along?

SylveonStar · May 12, 2013

The important thing is that everyone has to be together when it starts and for a majority of the rp as either a large group or pairs of two. The reason for this is because everyone has the same focus and were all marked at the same time

miltankRancher · May 12, 2013

I see. So there is really no way for us to start few? Oh no.
