Player: Blue Elec
Character: Dars (pronounced Darce)
Age: 17
Class: Sumoner/White mage
Species: Al Bhed
Over drive: Grand Summon
Weapon Of Choice: Al Bhed Machina Pistol or Summoner's Staff.
Parents Classes: Alchemist (Father), Engineer (Mother)
Appearance: Blue eyes. Blue, free hanging hair which isn't long but isn't exactly short. Wears trousers with a kind of half-skirt that only covers the back of his legs. Wears what Auron wore to cever his chest.
Personality: Tries to act as other summoners but doesn't quite manage it. He feels more at home at dinner with a townsperson than a priest of Yevon. Dars tries to be reasonable all the time but sometimes finds that he can't be bothered.
History: He appeared at a temple one day and requested to train as a summoner, as he was talented they let him do so. He mostly kept quiet about his past and his ideals, he told no-one when he formulated his idea for a better Sin. Upon the completion of his training Dars requested that he didn't enter the cloister of trials but, instead, went around the globe incognito searching for a way to bring his plans to fruition. Finding his solution, and taking the young mage with him, he set out for Besaid in order to obtain the first of his Aeons: Valefor.
Other: Pretends to be a Yevonite and hides his Al Bhed heratige. Has a large amount of knowledge of the Al Bhed and Machina but hides this.

Player: Pilotslover
Character: Lirian (Leer - I - an)
Age: 10
Class: Black mage
Species: Human
Over drive: Multi-cast
Weapon Of Choice: Staff
Parents Classes: Unknown
Appearance: A wide brimmed hat shields a lot of Lirian face, sometimes obscuring it entirely; when his skin can be seen, it is ghostly pale. Lirian comforms to the legends view of a Black Mage, having yellow hued eyes that seem to glow slightly. He wears a dark blue trench coat, cream coloured trousers with red gloves and boots. When his hair can be seen, it's dusty black in colour and hangs to about his shoulders. There is something not quite human about him, whenever he removes his hat it can be seen that Lirian has slightly pointed ears and when he removes his gloves it becomes obvious that his nails are a little too pointed. In the past, Lirian has been confronted by Ronso's asking if he has Ronso heritage, he is never sure how to reply.
Personality: Lirian is much like any other child his age, finding delight in the simplist things; unlike other children his age he can descend into depression. Lirian is very changeable, being perky and upbeat one minute and sombe the next.
History: Lirian was found as an orphan in Bevelle, left at Yevon's gates; whether or not his parents survive is a matter of great debate and even Lirian is unsure, part of him hates the parents who abandoned him but a greater part of him is curious about who they are.
As a youngster, Lirian showed clear magical potential, which his guardian's attempted to crush; they failed but Lirian never learnt a single spell. Life in Bevelle was quiet for him and he spent a lot of time in a world of his own, battling Sin and becomming a summoner. When 'adopted' by Dars, Lirian didn't question it and follows him blindly; he doesn't know about what Dars has planned and can enjoy the pilgrimage as much as possible.
Other: Lirian is a good cook, something that seems a little unusual in an orphan but Lirian was often made to cook for himself.

Player: Bi-ru-ya
Character: Elizabeth
Age: 19
Class: Ranged attacker
Species: Gaudo
Over drive: Valesti - Fires a series of shots towards the enemy, then towards the ground, causing an explosion that lifts him to the air, just to be impaled by another, shinging shaft. (reference: Nibelung Valesti, Vakirie's Profile)
Weapon Of Choice: Long bows
Parents Classes: Thief (father), Fighter (mother)
Appearance: How does a Gaudo looks like? sorry havne't played X..... Wears fitting clothes to have freedom of movement, a breast leather strap, silver-colored bracers and boots.
Personality: Merry and with an eternal smile, she's approachable enough to find new friends easily wherever she goes. But when a battle starts, her tactical mind transfomrs her into a perfectionist, emotionless killing machine. A pity that she lacks much training to become such a killing machine.
History: Her parents once were part of an adventuring group until they decided to retire and teach at their hometown. Elizabeth is their only child, and got all the attention she needed. Also, she received all the training and discipline they deemed fit, and when the Sin problems surfaced, she felt prepared to fight the thing.
Wisely, her parents knocked her unconscious and joined a new group that embarked in the quest to fight the thing. Only her father came back, and she then understood the true implications of war.
A year ago, when she was presented her bow recognizing her as a real hunter, she vowed to never let despair overwhelm her, nor fail in the defense of her own people.
Unknown to Elizabeth, her mother had made the same vow years ago.
Other: Umh..... no real ideas about this..... I can make up some as the story unfolds.

Player: Animus Inanis (aka: Nani)
Character: Sariel
Age: 21
Class: Samurai
Species: Human
Over drive: Angel Named--Sariel comes into the possesion of a pair of wings and drills the enemies from above like a little, flaming dirvish.(Note: Almost like an aerial 'Slice and Dice'...lit on fire.)
Weapon Of Choice: A wider-bladed katana
Parents Classes: Mother (White Mage), Father (Samurai)
Appearance: A lanky young man of medium height with deep burgundy hair and bright violet eyes. Wears a cut-off shirt under an unbelted kimono (which shows off some rather intricate and painful-looking tatoos on his arms and midriff) as well as a very thin line tatooed across the bridge of his nose to the middle of each cheekbone, a long, black scarf that covers the bottom part of his face, knee-high, belted boots, and fingerless gloves.
Personality: Sariel is usually polite with a tendency to be sort of blunt. He is very akward around people, especially women, but can talk your ears off if he really wants to. He has a tendency to space out at times.
History: Sariel was brought up to fight in his father's style, but learned some tricks from his mother. He has one surviving sibling (a sister, Tenshi); the other two (older sister, younger brother) died fighting sinspawn. After leaving home, he became a jack of all trades, not really finding anything that suited his fancy. Sariel wanders randomly and really isn't quarrlesome (can be a good thing when employers don't trust you fully).
Other:
((Mythological note: Sariel is supposedly the archangel responsible for disciplining things and such. This is kinda of irrelevent...but, meh.))

Player: Saffire
Character: Hoelun
Age: 20 (Slightly younger in Guado years)
Class: Blue Mage
Species: Guado
Overdrive: Guadoslam - Shoves the opponent's head into a massive trombone, then plays a loud note into its skull.
Weapon Of Choice: A golden trombone, decorated with an iridescent ribbon.
Parent's Classes: Mother: White Mage; Father: Black Mage.
Appearance: Hoelun is a young woman of pale skin, slight figure, and pointed ears. Her eyes are a deep green, set gently in her smooth face. Hoelun's hair is short and spikey, rebellious and blue, and two long 'tails' tied with bows sit across her shoulders. She has long purple fingernails and limbs, typical of her race.

Her clothes are modified from traditional Guado garb. Hoelun wears a blueish shawl typical of unmarried Guado girls, which ties across an embroidered fuschia top. A thick belt buckles around her waist; it holds up an open skirt of flowing purple, decorated with her family's flamelike pattern. Beneath the skirt are loose trousers of a comfortable aqua. The Guado also wears emerald green sandals that buckle up her leg.

Personality: Hoelun seems shy at first, but when she finds an opening, she will leap for it. She never fit in with the docile girls of her generation because of her thirst for something more, as well as her love of music rather than courtly activities. She is considerate of others most of the time, although she may get carried away in her outgoing, wanderlust activities and forget once in a while.

When she is angry, she displays a solemn attitude and a subtly-insulting tongue. Her tone may turn to satire rather than optimism. This is rare, however.

History: Hoelun was raised in a wealthy family. She was taught to be a quiet girl, but her talents and her attitude could not be repressed. After multiple attempts at escaping Guadosalam, her parents finally allowed her to leave.

She traveled with a band of merry bards for five years and found her one true passion: the trombone. Her best friend in the band, an odd jolly fellow by the name of Olier, taught her what he knew of blue magic. She insisted that she did not need to learn her forsaken family's art, but Olier argued that a defenseless musician was a dead musician. She immediately took to the lessons as they toured various temples.

Eventually, Hoelun found a greater calling. Roused by the stories of great destruction from her childhood, as well as the growing concerns of many people, she decided to put her magic and talent to use as a Guardian.

Olier believed she possessed the drive and the skill. Hoelun just wanted to lessen the destruction-- and learn the meaning of music.

Other: Hoelun plays her trombone to summon blue magic. She either plays a loud note on it or physically hits the opponent to attack.

((ok kinda changed her entire tune but it's ok... i'll start out visiting besaid))

We're going to request you tone down the angst a bit.
Vivi: Like you can talk!
Shut up Vivi!

Anyway, we think it's a bit too Yuna-like to have her raised in Besaid, especially if she were to be half Al bhed, as they're pretty religious in Besaid. besides that, she's fine smile
