[Katra Alexion]

Name: Irene “Ren” Zelphyr

Gender: Female

Age: 18

Race: Female

Orientation: Straight

Appearance:

Canon or non-canonical: Non-canonical

Side: Balance

Game you came from/most prefer for your character:  Final Fantasy 8

Home World: 

Home Town:  Balamb Garden

Class: SeeD

Fighting Style: Rin is a master (or mistress) of the spear, her skill in this art would rival those of the forgotten Dragoons of the past. She is also capable of Drawing and using magic and items taken from her foes and places of power. But her greatest strength is making pacts with and Junctioning Guardian Forces that are willing to fight alongside her. She is quick and agile, her speed and unconventional fighting style lending her additional strength she wouldn’t normally have.

Weapon(s) Preference:  Spear

Theme Song:  Cascada -Because the night - lyrics

Personality:  Very few know the true nature of Rin which is the way she prefers it, but if given only one word to best describe her it would be ‘mercurial’. She is always full of  shifting emotions, going from one extreme to the other but she generally displays a laid-back and carefree demeanor and can be quiet amicable under normal circumstance. She also never lets an opportunity pass her by to engage in a good challenge if she can. Under the facade she shows others is a driven young woman who is utterly and totally dedicated to any cause she takes up and loyal unto death to those that earn her trust.

Background Information: Back in her original world Ren had been a war orphan raised and trained to become a proud member of Balamb Garden’s SeeD mercenary force. She eventually underwent an important mission with several of members of her unit to prevent the Sorceress Ultimecia from compressing time and destroying everything in existence within their world. During the time Ren and her friends were chasing the time manipulating witch from place to place Ren found herself inevitably attracted to their group’s leader, a certain taciturn gunblade wielder, but she never got a chance to tell him her feeling before they managed to corner Ultimecia in her castle. After defeating several of her forms they weakened her enough to finish her off and as the final strike were aimed a blinding flash of light surrounded them. When the light cleared and Ren could finally see, she was standing within the majestic halls of a temple being greeted by a person calling themselves Equilibrium.

Equilibrium entreats her to stay and listen a while he tells her the story of Cosmos and Chaos and their never ending battles, how each time both factions have clashed a little bit more of the Universe is weakened or destroyed, leaving it vulnerable to attacks from outside forces. In a bid to protect itself the Universe created Equilibrium as the new God of Balance to reign in the bickering siblings and to guard it against the unnatural forces that seek to take it over. When asked why she was brought here Equilibrium informed her that she was one of the several individuals that he/she had chosen who had possessed the strength and fortitude of heart to prevail in restoring the balance and to halt any further destruction and ensure that the scales are never tipped to drastically to either side again. 

Knowing the only way she would be able to get home was to accomplish the goals set before her she quickly agreed and set out to see what needed to be done to achieve this feat. As she journeyed through the various destroyed or ruin worlds fighting the agents of Chaos, particularly Ultimecia herself and even some of the warriors from the side of Cosmos she  began to forget certain things and the more she focused on this war the more her memories of her home world faded away. Now she fights not only to bring an end to this war but keep what memories she has left from fading completely.

Name: Aphie Aurion

Gender: Female

Age: 23

Race: Cetra/Ancient

Orientation: Straight

Appearance: WIP

Canon or non-canonical: Non-canonical

Side: Cosmos

Game you came from/most prefer for your character:  Final Fantasy 7 based

Home World:  The Planet/Gaia

Home Town: Ancient City

Class: SOLDIER 1st Class

Fighting Style: Katana and Materia and isn’t above using dirty (not dishonorable) tactics to get the job done. Though she has chosen the path of a warrior Aphie isn’t lax in the offensive capabilities of Materia or her Cetran healing. Quite the opposite really; what spells she has she has learned to utilize fully to compliment and augment her style.

Weapon(s): Murasame (can cast Barrier) Materia.

Theme Song:  Combat
 Xenoblade Chronicles Music - Prologue B - overall

Theme Song:Personal
Kingdom Hearts 2 Theme song

Personality:  Aphie is a young woman of strong convictions [and somewhat askwed morals], who isn’t afraid to stand and fight for what she believes in. In battle she aggressive and relentless, but will still look out for her comrades should they be there. Outside of battle she is something of a loner, preferring the company of very few [if any] to the many and is aloof and wary of newcomers at first until their intent is proven. Normally she is calm and laid back with a wicked and sardonic sense of humor and can be rather blunt at times but under such a gruff exterior there is an amazing core of compassion and empathy she tries to keep hidden. Ironically enough Aphie is seen as the big sister to many of the younger warriors of their group much to her chagrin and the others amusement.

Background Information: Although being one of the more recent additions to Cosmos forces, there isn’t much of her past that Aphie is willing to share; outside of having been an enhanced specialized soldier for the majority of her adolescent and adult life. Everything else she holds close to her vest as she sees it as not necessary for anyone else to know.

Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide

Before she was brought to Cosmos’s realm Aphie had lived on the planet known as Gaia where she had been one of the few last remaining Cetra alive. She had joined Shinra as a SOLDIER to keep an eye on the organization from within, managing to hide her Cetra heritage to prevent being discovered. She steadily worked her way up through the ranks, making friends in the oddest of places, the Turks being included in that - but never once in her wildest imaging’s did she expect to get romantically entangled with Sephiroth himself, but it happened. In the General the Cetra had found a kindred spirit and much more. She fully intended to discourse the truth about herself but he had already been sent on that ill fated mission to Nibelheim.

After what transpired there, Aphie left Shinra and went to her back nomadic lifestyle, becoming a mercenary under an assumed alias so she could continue to monitor Shinra. Several years later she was back in Midgard working for a group known as AVALANCHE who went around destroying the reactors sucking up all the Mako to prevent them from further killing the Planet but turned into a race to save Gaia from the demented and megalomaniac machination of her former lover, Sephiroth. In the end while the others in her party were distracted with getting away from the Northern Crater, Aphie – having so long denied her Cetran heritage, decided to atone by merging with the Life-stream to give it the strength it needed to fight the impending fall of Meteor. But as she dived for the luminous sea of green a brilliant light surrounded her and transported her away.

Upon awakening, Aphie found herself within Cosmos’s realm. The goddess explained her plight informing her that he opposite, Chaos, has likely summoned Sephiroth to his aside as he seemed to have a strange quirk about choosing particular enemies to every warrior under her banner. Hearing this, Aphie agreed seeing there was little else she could do at the time. Now she spends her time either in the gardens, the lists observing the other warrior or in her room awaiting the call to go into battle.

Chaos Character is WIP

[Vergil1989]

Welcome aboard Katra.  LOVE the profile!

[Katra Alexion]

Hehehe, I still have two more to bring in

[Vergil1989]

I have a possibly dumb question for everyone here.  How is it that almost a dozen people have made profiles for this game, yet it's only three people that have done anything IC?

[Thorn14]

Stage Fright? 

Still thinking if I want to join since i've had fun at your other RP's.

Maybe I"ll transfer one of my characters from the RPs that died out onto here (like the KH one or the academy one)

Just not sure about playing with canonical characters, I have trouble doing that but maybe it wont be an issue, may watch some IC posts first.

[Vergil1989]

Lol possibly, I'll give ya that one.  And Thorn you don't have to do a canon character for any of the sides listed, so it's totally up to you my friend.  You can go ahead and see what unfolds though if you want, no biggie there, just when the story gets going it might be too late is all.

[Marie Reynolds]

I'm still correcting my other one while brainstorming for orlandu

[Thorn14]

Lol possibly, I'll give ya that one.  And Thorn you don't have to do a canon character for any of the sides listed, so it's totally up to you my friend.  You can go ahead and see what unfolds though if you want, no biggie there, just when the story gets going it might be too late is all.

Alright, I'll probably use my KH character from a KH RP that died out sadly.

Also is this just a pure fight RP or what?

[Thorn14]

Okay here. Sorry if its a little sloppy. Imported from a previous RP.

Name:  Rosen
Gender: Female
Age:  23
Race: Human
Appearance:
Orientation: Never gave it thought.
Non Canon
Side: Cosmos but leading to Balance.
Setting: Kingdom Hearts.
Home World:  Lillian Tellus, what was once a world that blended nature and technology in a beautiful symbiotic relationship, was soon invaded by the heartless and became a twisted version of itself, with technology blocking out the sky and choking smog, while whatever wildlife is left now feral and mutated.
Class:  Keyblader
Fighting Style: Physical attacks while using her keyblade's ability to its fullest effect.
Weapon: Keyblade
Name - Eternal Wisteria
[-] Nobilis Silva : Wisteria's main ability is the manipulation and summoning of plants. Its much more potent if plants are around, but she can summon plants from the ground if need be. She can even do it in complete absence of nature, such as in a building, but it takes alot of effort for her, so she prefers to avoid such places.
[-] Sentis Theatrum : Summoning several Thorns and briars, Rosen throws her keyblade into the air which is snagged by one of the spiny vines, and controls it like an extension of her body, while using her free hands to manipulate the thorns in directions she desires.
[-] Vepris Maceriei : Summons a dome or wall of vines and thorns to block blows. These are magic resistant.

Theme: NieR - The lost forest

Personality: Rosen has a slight playful side that doesn’t put her above joking, that said however, events has made her lose some of that fun side.  She isn’t dour by any means, but she wont joke unless the situation is right for it. She has a friendly personality, but has some slight trust issues, always looking over her shoulder. Her heart is filled with light but it’s less of a beacon of light and more a flashlight, surrounded by shadow, just waiting for the light to flicker. She is aware of it however, and tries to keep herself in check, but there are a few things that can set her off. Because of her world’s history, she gets nervous around the over reliance of technology.

Background Story: For as long as Rosen can remember, she was trained by her master and surrogate father Silius . She remembers him speaking of finding her as a young child in a briar patch near the capital. After rescuing her, he spent years trying to find her parents but ot no avail. Seeing how strong of heart she was in those years, he decided to raise her as his own, and to become a keyblade wielder like him. She, like many others in her world, was attuned to the nature that coexisted with everyone, and used that to her advantage in her training. While the heartless were rarely an issue, one day, long after Rosen completed her training, her Master made an offer for her. Join him and travel the worlds to stop the heartless. It sounded like a great idea, but something about him felt wrong, and on the first sign of hesitation, Silius attacked. At first she figured it was some sort of test, until during the fight she looked around her and found a massive swarm of heartless had invaded. Her master screamed at her to join him and leave. Refusing to abandon her home world she ran from him to defend her hometown. She was strong, but not strong enough to face the army that swarmed her. As her eyes began to close she figured it was the end of her. Until she woke up in the middle of a Gummi ship set for Traverse Town.

Soon enough she found the fate of her world, corrupted by the heartless. Filled with despair she began a senseless slaughter of any heartless she could find, until she heard a name that might have information. A nobody by the name of Ussilix. Now she looks for answers where to find him, and find out what he knows of the heartless invasion, and if he was responsible, kill him.

[Vergil1989]

It's pretty good Thorn, welcome aboard my friend.

[Thorn14]

Alright, I'll see if I can wrangle up a post.

[Vergil1989]

Cool beans, can't wait to see what you got lol.  OOC and get your lovely lady in the character thread when you can, and then the IC is yours.

[ZameRagues]

Alright Background is up.

[Vergil1989]

Ok, let me clarify something real quick for you Zames, and anyone else that makes this mistake.  He's a new guy, he's joining the war for the first time.  As such, he wouldn't forget anything since he has yet to fall in the war between Chaos and Cosmos.  Therefore he'd remember his past life completely and totally.  Beyond that everything is fine save for a few grammar issues lol.  Welcome aboard.

[ZameRagues]

Got it.

Grammars never been my strong point when it comes to writing, I like to think I'm improving though.

[Maverick Hunter Cake]

Name: Sora
Gender: Male
Age: 20 
Race: Human
Orientation: Bisexual 
Appearance;

Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide

Canon or non-canonical;  Canonical until after the second game
Side:  Cosmos
Game you came from/most prefer for your character;  KH 2
Home World: Destiny Islands
Home Town: ....The aforementioned islands, he is not shown living elsewhere. 
Class;  Wielder of the Keyblade of Light
Fighting Style:  Sora fights with a mixture of two handed swordsmanship and magic, the physical aspect of his fighting being stronger then his magical talents( unless currently in the Wisdom Form).  He only wields one blade unless in any of his drive forms besides Wisdom, where he fights with two, a blade in each hand. His magic is weaker then a trained mage, while still capable of dealing damage, it is not anywhere near the catastrophic level a mage could rain down. Sora is quick to rush into combat with the keyblade, depending on his speed to get out of the way of attacks more often then the defenses of his own body.
Weapon(s) Preference: Sora prefers to use the keyblade, the magical weapon of light that he had used countless times to banish the heartless and the nobodies from the world of light. It can be summoned to his hand by his will, but has been known to be pulled from his grasp by other forces. He has used no other blade beside a toy sword in any time he has taken the fight to the heartless, and would be SOL if he tried to wield anything other then a short or long sword if caught unable to fight with the keyblade. His key chain of choice is the Ultima Keyblade, the strongest force of light he can wield.
Theme Song:

Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide

Personality;  Sora is a man of gentle heart and pure soul, leading him to face emotionally crippling decisions with much naivete of how others would plan to use him. He is always one to see the silver lining in the clouds, and takes a lot to break his sunny disposition. He is also a very brave man, willing to jump into the fray to save a friend or to prevent anyone from getting hurt. He is also very silly, and willing to play the part of the fool to get a smile out of a forlorn friend.
Background Information; 
Having grown up surrounded by the company of good friends and in the graces of a beautiful world, Sora was unaware of the vastness of the worlds beyond his own tiny place of origin. It filled him and his two closest friends with a wanderlust many young adults have known, seeking to explore over the horizons for new adventures....but Fate found them, and Sora, Kairi, and Riku were thrust into a tangled web of darkness and light. Sora chose to defy the darkness, to fight it and find his friends again as the darkness whisked one away and the other fell to the allure of false power it brought. Gaining two new companions, he traveled the worlds, freeing them from the threat of darkness and locking the doors to the hearts of those places, playing peacekeeper until he caught up with Xehanort and Maleficent, the puppet masters of this evil scheme. After a long string of battles, he freed the Princesses of Light, defeated the Mistress of all Evil, and banished Xehanort...

After 2 years of statis from his last adventure, he awoke to the worlds being threatened once more, this time by the ominous group calling themselves Organization 13 and the nobodies, as well of the looming threat that Malificent
posed beforehand. Sora marched on to do his duties, freeing the worlds once more from the darkness as he covered more and more about the organization and the mysterious Roxas. He quickly found their base of operations after traveling through many worlds, and finally reunited with his best friends...

The call to arms in the battle against darkness was once again sounded for the young man, having been asked by Cosmos to partake in this war against Chaos and his minoins. Not only had Riku gone off to join the fight before him, there was now a new terror to beat back. The brown haired man could not say no, fearing that many of his friends would be lost in the conflict if it could not be ended swiftly. Sora agreed to the goddesses plea for help after letting Kairi know that fate called to him once more....He had to help!

[Vergil1989]

Still need an edit from your profile Zame, and MHC, BEAUTIFUL work there my friend.  Welcome aboard!

And Zame, I just saw your edited profile in the character thread, it's good so ignore my last part directed at you lol.  Now just need OOC and character thread posts from you two before the IC is yours.

[Vergil1989]

Ok guys and gals.  I have LOVED most of what I have seen thus far, I do have a bit of a problem that others already in the game have pointed out to me.  We need more Canon people.  I won't stop accepting OCs persay, but I do ask that more people play as established FF and KH characters as much as possible and as much as they are comfortable with since I've had a few requests for Jecht and Kefka already.  For those that have promised such characters and have failed to deliver however, you have until tomorrow night at the latest to keep your word or it'll be first come first serve since you've had more than enough time to deliver by now.

[ZameRagues]

Kefka has been taken care of.

I sent ADF a PM, so either I or he will be Kefka.

[Katra Alexion]

sorry for the delay - I should have everything up tonight or in the morning - things are a little busy here at home today

[ZameRagues]

Name; Kefka Palazzo
Gender; Male
Age; 35
Race; Hume
Orientation;  N/A
Appearance; 
Canon or non-canonical;  Canon
Side;  Chaos
Game you came from/most prefer for your character;  FF6
Home World;  World of Balance
Home Town;  ?
Class;  Experimental Magitek Knight
Fighting Style;  Magic, magic, magic. Lightning, ice, and fire. I'll destroy you all. To my heart's desire.
Weapon(s) Preference;  Wait, why are you not in more pieces?! My magic should have left you in smaller bits.
Theme Song;  Final Fantasy 6 - Kefka Theme
Personality;  maniacal, short-tempered, flamboyant, destructive, and cruel. He is a completely insane psychopath with no regard for human life or remorse for any atrocities that he commits. On the contrary, he, in fact, finds amusement in the suffering and death of others. He tends to crack dark jokes at times, also sometimes breaking out into hysterical laughter upon causing death, destruction, and mayhem, and possesses a hatred of virtually everything in the world; Kefka's only joy in life comes from causing death and chaos wherever he can. What begins as simply a disregard and indifference to human life develops into a sinister nihilism - at the end of Final Fantasy VI, Kefka declares the lives of mortals are meaningless and insignificant, and he finds no meaning in things like love and hope that others cherish. As a result, Kefka's goal at this point is to destroy the bonds of existence itself.
Background Information; 

Background

Kefka was the first experimental Magitek Knight, a procedure that gifted him with incredible magical power, but also shattered his sanity as a side effect of the process not being perfected yet. As a result of the loss of his sanity from the procedure, Kefka became a cruel, destructive madman and eventually acquired a reputation as one of the most dangerous men in the Gestahlian Empire. About six years after the procedure, a restructuring of the Gestahlian Empire's military occurred, with Kefka and Leo Christophe being two of the individuals involved in it. The exact circumstances are unknown, but sometime prior to the game, Kefka used a Slave Crown to control Terra Branford and, as a test of whether the free-will dampening effects of the crown were effective, had her burn fifty Imperial soldiers alive.

Kefka sends Terra to Narshe to acquire the frozen esper Valigarmanda, sending Biggs and Wedge with her. The mission fails when Valigarmanda awakens in response to Terra's power, dispatches Biggs and Wedge and damages the Slave Crown, restoring Terra's free will but leaving her with amnesia. In her subsequent attempt to flee from Narshe, Terra's memory is temporarily restored and she remembers Kefka ordering her to kill his own men and enslaving her before she blacks out.

Kefka's appears in person when he comes to Figaro Castle seeking Terra under orders from Gestahl and presumably as part of reconnaissance mission (although he also complains about Figaro's location in the middle of a desert, as well as forcing his soldiers to wipe his boots after sand was on them). King Edgar, who is sheltering Terra in the hopes she will join the Returners against the Empire, conceals her whereabouts. Kefka doesn't believe Edgar and sets the castle on fire. When the castle burrows under the desert, Kefka has his bodyguards attack the fleeing Edgar, Terra and Locke Cole. The trio despatches them and leave Kefka fuming.

Kefka eventually comes to the kingdom of Doma as part of a battalion led by General Leo Cristophe. During this time, a rumor was also going around that Kefka was intending to replace Leo as the general of the Imperial military, to which at least one soldier declared that he'd quit his position if Gestahl ever let Kefka become the head of their military. Although Leo is attempting to win the siege against Doma with minimal casualties, Kefka is secretly plotting to poison the river and kill the entire population of the castle. After Leo is called away by Emperor Gestahl, Kefka takes command of the Imperial forces and orders them to dump the poison, with one of the soldiers being reluctant to use the poison (mostly due to there still being captured imperial personnel within the base). Sabin Rene Figaro and Shadow attempt to stop him, but Kefka flees and dumps the poison himself, killing everyone in the castle except for Cyan Garamonde and a Doma Sentry, as well as maniacally musing to himself about the music of the unified screams of hundreds of voices. Until his ascent to Godhood, this was considered Kefka's worst crime. This also sends Cyan into a deep depression over his guilt, which has potentially disastrous complications for him later in the game.
Kefka going to Narshe with his army.

As the Returners reunite at Narshe, Celes Chere warns the others that Kefka has gathered a large force of imperial soldiers and is leading them against the town himself. Kefka orders the troops to kill anyone in their way and leads them to the clifftops above Narshe to claim Valigarmanda. The Returners retreat to the mountains to guard the esper and, after fighting off his troops, confront Kefka in battle. Defeated, Kefka flees, but swears revenge.

[Katra Alexion]

I edited and put Aphie up there with Ren. Hope you like - I am still working on pic for them both while finishing up for the Chaos character.

[Vergil1989]

Besides needing more in the background for both Zame and Katra, you two are good to go otherwise guys and gals.  Thanks for the new characters and hopefully things will pick up soon.

[Katra Alexion]

Alright I will beef Aphie's background up some more.

[Ember Star]

Hey guys. Sorry I disappeared. Been busy in real life and finishing Refia's profile got put on hold. But I'm baatk and she done.

Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide

Name: Refia.
Gender; Female.
Age; 19 (she was 14 in the game so I aged her a bit). 
Race; Human.
Orientation; Lesbian. 
Appearance; Normal/special occasion clothes 
Thief/travel clothes
Canon or non-canonical; Canon. 
Side; Balance. 
Game you came from/most prefer for your character; Final Fantasy III. 
Home World; She was born on the main world of FF3, but grew up and lived on the floating island world above it. 
Home Town; The village of Kazus. 
Class; Thief. (Thieves are very fast and agile, capable of swinging their weapons with incredible speed. They also have the ability to pick looked doors. Their Steal ability enables them to take items from their enemies. Also, everybody will take less damage while escaping if they use Flee.)
Fighting Style; She usually carry a lot of small, easily counseled weapons. She is as fast as her class suggests her to be, and tends to fight with agile movements and from a distance when she can. She also likes to use magic items (i.e, Antarctic Wind/Zeus's Wrath) when she has them. 
Weapon(s) Preference; She uses a variety of Knives, Daggers, Boomerangs, Chakrams, and other close ranged and Throw Weapons.
Theme Song; Sexy Song--> I Kissed A Girl by Katy Perry. Combat Song--> Remedy by Seether.

Personality; Refia is hyper, friendly, and very hardheaded. She's not afraid to put her foot down, and she will always argue if she thinks you're wrong and she's right. She can be a bit of a trickster though, which isn't a surprise since she chose to be a thief. However every loyal to her friends, she comes in handy in a tight spot because rather it's breaking into something or just giving a helping hand, she'll always be there for her friends. She does have one serious disadvantage when it comes to travel and especially when she's in a wet place. She has a deep dislike of toads, she doesn't exactly make it clear if it's a phobia or a hatred of toads, but her dislike of them is as clear as daylight whenever she's around them.

Biography: Raised in Kazus by the mythril smith Takka, whose rigorous training lead her to run away from home...again.

 Refia was orphaned as a baby. An airship flown by Cid blew up, killing everybody on it but Cid and four babies, including Refia. The mythril smith Takka took the little girl in and raised her as his own, making her his apprentice. But Refia never liked the hard work and having her "father" point out everything she did wrong.

At age 14 she ran away yet again and hid out on Cid's nearby ship, fortunately for her, avoiding the Djinn curse that befell her village soon after, turning everyone to ghosts. Cid happen to be in the village at the time of curse, so when two boys came to the village and were willing to help, he loaned them his airship. So it was on Cid's ship where she met and became friends with two of the three boys that would become her traveling companions, Arc and Luneth.

(Skipping the game story)
 
Once Arc, Luneth, Ingus, and Refia freed the world of evil, Refia returned home to Kazus. She tried being Takka's apprentice again because she was grateful to him for doing so much for her. But she just didn't have the love or the skill for it. So about 6 months ago, at age of 18 1/2, she left home again. This time she at least told Takka and explained to him why she was leaving though.
