Re: Character Description Thread
Well, then... ^_^ I suppose it may be a wise decision for me to introduce, to those of you who are unfamiliar with, Shadow the Hedgehog. Some of you may know him, and some may not, mostly because they are strict 2D Sonic the Hedgehog Lovers. No problem!

Well, here goes nothing. SPOILERS ARE DEFINATELLY ABOUND, mostly because you can't really explain this guy without explaining something about his background. :( It can't really be avoided, if you wanna get to 'know' him. P.S. Sorry this is huge... x_x I didn't notice how big it was until it was too late. I've already tried truncating a lot of things, but, it's hard to do that without explaining where I'm pulling him from.
- - -
Shadow the Hedgehog, the Ultimate Lifeform.
A seemingly self-proclaimed title, to this dark and mysterious Hedgehog. Not looking much unlike everyone's favorite Blue hero, this Black-colored Hedgehog could pass off as Sonic, if you were completely color-blind. Though he may look like Sonic in some minor ways, there are many ways to tell him apart. With a strong, stoic stance, Shadow is often with an evil glint in his eyes, for some unknown hatred towards those who stand in his way. Pursed eyebrows accompany his glare, ruby red eyes, and an apathetic frown, when he's not smirking at your misfortunes or something is going the way it was planned. If you were to stare at his face, you couldn't tell he looked any older than a 16-18 year old Hedgehog (Don't ask). Also, you would immediately notice that four of his spines, on the sides of his head, were bent or curved upwards, to give him the appearance of a Star. (Probably Bed-Head...explained later) Along each spine, the top of his head, and the corners of his eyes, are deep red streaks. Instead of the fleshy colored stomach, and arms the blue Hedgehog sports, Shadow has just black fur, with a large tuft of white fuzz on his chest. Along his arms and legs, is the same red-stripes that follow along the top of his spines. Unlike Sonic, Shadow wears a pair of special shoes, that enable him to skate effortlessly along almost any terrain with a 'hover' like flow. His shoes, however, give a slight advantage over Sonic, but also carry a disadvantage. While he starts off skating, it takes a bit longer to reach max speed as there is no friction for him to push off with, as well as no friction for stopping so he slides a bit. Although, with the no-friction-factor, it allows him to attain slightly faster speeds over Sonic. Not much, mind you.

(Okay, I may have BS'd that section, but I supported theory with it... Advantage, and disadvantage, even though, I'm sure, they were made with the same stats...sorta. It's hard to tell, and will always be debated. :) Physical Description complete, sorta... Now, onto some personality and a bit of a background for the mind-readers out there who care to delve a little too deep into his vault of despair.)

Seemingly Apathetic at first glance, Shadow is a strong willed, mature Hedgehog, and has a rather tough image. Not quite as tough as Knuckles, as he seems to not really give a flying Chao's butt about anything, unless its personal, or important to his own goals. He rarely ever talks, but when he does it is usually important, or a very odd sarcastic comment. (Quote comes to mind: 'Since you were so kind to release me, my master, I shall grant you one wish...') He often muses to himself, reminiscing of his past as a small piece of a faint memory. Everyone has a 'happy special' memory they treasure for the rest of their lives. Very knowledgeable in destructive weaponry, such as big Cannons designed to blow up entire planets, but, he'd still prefer to destroy something the old fashion way by smashing and running, or with a quick blast from something called 'Chaos Spear'. He has a rather sharp mind, but when produced with a challenge, he wouldn't really want to face it if it's not on his agenda. If forced into something, he will take action, and use whatever necessary to finish the 'side-quest', and rarely ever needs to be told twice what to do, lest he is directing you.

(Okay, a bit of background, now... Word of caution: *More spoilers* Due to the sort of seizure-like flashbacks (Ala Cloud FF7, sorta..) Shadow tries to remember, it's sort of uncertain whether or not his past really existed, or was fabricated. But, it is known that he was created with a purpose. A test-tube Hedgehog, sorta. I'm playing off that he really had these memories, and is that 'special' creature mentioned in many random places.)

50 years into the past, aboard a great Colony in Space, a bright scientist by the name of Gerald Robotnik started on a great experiment, labeled 'Project Shadow'. Based on ancient writings of a past civilization, Shadow the Hedgehog was created with their same attributes in mind. The ancient creatures were able to harness the powers of the 7 Chaos Emeralds, empowering their greatest warriors to protect their villages. The Professor had tried a form before the Hedgehog, but when he finally noticed that his first design was too big, and wasn't very 'user friendly' for a planet protector, he tried something smaller... Shadow was perfect, and with the new research on the Emeralds found that they had other hidden powers. Shadow had managed to pick up a few of these on his short time aboard the ARK (Chaos Control, Chaos Spear * See abilities), as well as befriend a very beautiful girl by the name of Maria Robotnik, who (coincidentally), was Gerald Robotnik's precious Granddaughter, and Dr Eggman's Cousin. The research facility's demise came swiftly, as a group known as GUN stormed the ARK, planning to destroy the research Project, Shadow, and pump bullets through anything else that moved, including the Professor's Granddaughter. Shadow had been ejected from the colony, by his own friend, and asked if he could 'Protect' the planet below, but when he was promptly captured by GUN. Ironically, he was sealed away in a capsule by a Chaos Emerald, where he slept for 50 years(Read: Bed-head possibility). His memories warped, and all he could think about, was getting revenge on the entire planet, for killing Maria... (Ehh, I'll end off here, and let an intro pose release the rest of the spoilers. :P)
---
ABILITIES:
Short, and sweet. Those of you who know Sonic, know he has a Spindash attack, and something called a Homing attack. Shadow also sports the ability to harness a Chaos Emerald's power to use two special abilities. Chaos Control, and Chaos Spear. Shadow is an ADEPT type, because of the Spindash, Homing attack, running around and bashing things with his 'spines' as well as random fighting attacks.

Spindash - Shadow curls into a ball, and 'charges up' by spinning rapidly. Upon releasing the pent up spin, he dashes forward, and can destroy objects in his path.

Homing Attack - If Shadow leaps into the air, and is relatively close to an enemy target, he can 'home in' and bash the target. Only if it's at a close distance will it home in on a target, otherwise he will get a quick burst of speed, sort of like the Spindash.

Chaos Control - Seems I had talked this over with Krizak before hand, I am allowed one Chaos Emerald, hopefully. :D Any who... with a Chaos Emerald held tightly, Shadow can seemingly freeze time momentarily, to those affected by the attack, and can do mild-to-moderate teleportation to far distances. The 'Teleportation' effect only works, if there are other Chaos Emeralds to go to, as they are 'magnetically' drawn to each other. So, No teleporting here! Other than short distance running. Just one Chaos Emerald, and a short Chaos Control (Which lasts about 10 seconds, roughly... Just enough to get the bootay out of there.)

Chaos Spear - Summoning Energy from within the Emerald, Shadow can call forth a series of 'spear-like' projectiles to stab at the target. Funky effects, and all. ^^;; Not too powerful.
- - -
Sheesh This is too long, already, and I'm sorry if I made him odd to those of you who see him differently. o.o; I'll rarely use these abilities for attacking purposes without a reason... So, No real harm.

RTT: Citan Uzuki

Re: Character Description Thread
Citan Uzuki... where do I begin? How about in the profile from Xenogears God and Mind (my comments are in parentheses. Note that SPOILERs are to be expected, even though I'll try to be as spoiler-free as possible; however, this is Xenogears, and people don't tend to like it when this game's plot points are spoiled... regardless, read on at your own risk)

Solaris has already been described by Bugenhagen, but some things to add are that the city proper is separated into different areas; one's class determines one's dwelling place. Class is determined both by birth and by military standing. 3rd Class citizens, either Lambs or their descendants, live in... well, third class dwellings, and serve as manual labor. Jugend is Solaris' military training academy. Shevat is similar to Solaris, an entirely airborne country, which is mostly hidden from ground-dwellers. They have been opposed to Solaris since at least 500 years before the time of Xenogears, but at the time of the game, they have almost no military power whatsoever. Lahan is your basic RPG hamlet, full of slightly strange country folk, rock-paper-scissors addicts, and bad well puns....don't ask.

(copying/pasting time; this is from Xenogears GaM)

"Full Name: Citan Uzuki
Birthplace: Solaris
Age: 29
Sex: Male
Height: 6 feet 1 inch
Weight: 150 lbs
Specialty: Martial Arts, Swords

Citan was born Hyuga Ricdeau in 9970 in the 3rd class area of Solaris. He led an uneventful life until a plague originating from the Soylent System (basically the food distribution system for Solaris) struck the zone. Many people, including Hyuga's family, were killed in the plague. Eventually Solaris managed to contain the outbreak with Hyuga's help (incidentally, the man's a supergenius, and the first evidence of it is here). This led to him being accepted into Jugend. He eventually rose to the level of an Element (elite class Solarian soldiers). Several years later he once again rises in rank, this time to a Guardian Angel of Solaris (that is, the direct guard of Solaris' emperor, with a nearly unrivaled rank--the Emperor has actually sought his advice on several key matters).

A few years later Hyuga was involved in an attack on Shevat. He is wounded by Yui during the attack and captured by Shevat. Yui takes care of him and they fall in love and eventually get married. Hyuga learns more battle techniques from Yui's grandpa, Gaspar. Hyuga and Yui have a daughter, Midori, shortly thereafter.

Several years pass, and then Hyuga is contacted by Emperor Cain. He is ordered to the surface to watch over Fei under the guise of Citan Uzuki. He brings his family with him. They settle on the mountain near Lahan Villiage, where he serves as a doctor.

Citan is skilled fighter in both the martial arts and sword fighting, both of which he learned during his tenure in the Solaris military. In addition he possess an array of mostly defensive Ether abilities."

If there were one word to describe this man's personality, it would be "composed." This man never loses his cool. If he comes off as something of a know-it-all... well, he knows just about everything, and if he doesn't know for certain, he can make very educated guesses, that are usually right (he isn't very overbearing about it, though, and is actually rather genial). As a result of his massive knowledge and deductive abilities, very little surprises him, and he surveys most situations with a calm, scientific detachment, even when talking about the mysteries of the absolute existence (sorry, I'm feeling a little Xenogears-y. I'll try to rein it in-Ed.). When he's not in the lab tinkering with his "junk," or leaving a trail of carnage and bloodshed in his wake, he's quite a nice, sociable guy.

His sword technique seems to be a rather exotic variation on the iai-do style of combat. Citan will usually keep his blade sheathed as well (sometimes attacking with the hilt of the sword itself). When he does attack with the actual blade, the sword is whipped out in one fluid motion, and resheathed as quickly as withdrawn. His more powerful Deathblow techniques use Ether energy*, as do his Arcane spells (some healing and stat modifiers, mostly).

Random Tidbit: Citan designed the Buntline, the morphing Gear/Ether cannon that Billy used to bust up Akanshel. The original design usually results in the killing of its pilot, but Jessiah had the foresight to redesign the sucker so that its pilot might actually survive. Ain't that something?

*Ether energy is the "magic" of the Xenogears world. Although there was no literal EP drain when using his "Super" Deathblows, it's obvious that emitting fire from one's sword is something of a supernatural occurrence.

Re: Character Description Thread
Hello, my name is Dath, and I'm an Alchaholi-- er... I'm an Onion Kid. Just what is that, you ask? Well for those poor, unfortunate souls, we Onion Kids were the four boys who saved the world from utter badness! Yes, we defeated Dark Cloud; we whooped her good, which was easy because she wasn't wearing much of anything, and erm... I could see her... *giggles* ... erm.. hehe. Well, she wasn't wearing any armour. Don't take that to mean she was a piece of cake, though! She may have only used one attack, but it was devastating, and we fought valiantly to overcome her evil powers! That, and the entire dungeon leading up to her was just a bitch! Err... hehe, sorry, I shouldn't use naughty words, huh?

Anyway, since I was one of the four destined to save the world, you should all bow down and worship me. It is fate, after all. Right? No? Aww.. nuts. Y'can't blame a kid for trying though, right? Yes? Aww... gimme a break!

Hmpf. I guess that, since you're being so mean to me, I shouldn't reveal my secret powers to you, huh? The fact that I can change my "job" and, similarly, my abilities nearly at whim is a pretty big secret, and only those of you who treat me nicely are good enough to know my secrets. So when you see me running around as a Black Mage one minute and a Dragoon the next, don't be surprised if you don't recognize me! Tee-hee. This'll be so fun. You won't even know what hit you!

Oops, I guess I shouldn't have let all that slip, huh? It must be my mischievous nature; it causes me to run away with my words some times. I may not be very cautious, but I can still whoop you! Darned if I don't, too. My Moogle and Bird-man pals and I will tear you all a new one! Err, or at least, umm... well, you get the picture, right?

Anyway, I really look forward to whooping all of you! My Onion Kid friends back home will be so proud! It may be a small village from which I hail, but I'll be DOUBLY a hero when I return victorious from here! Just you wait and see!

Re: Character Description Thread
Issac, like Ivan, also hails from the Gameboy Advance game Golden Sun, except he's the soft-spoken(silent, save one line of "!!!") protagonist of the game.

Issac is good-natured by heart, but not so much as Ivan. The numerous battles that he's enocuntered in such a short amount of time seem to have no effect on his character, nor his view on life: to help others cherish it as well as himself. As a leader, he usually makes the right decisions, but flops occasionally when it comes to tough or complicated choices. He also embarrasses easily in the presence of friends.

The young man would have been but a normal person had it not been for the Mt. Aleph Boulder incident which resulted in the untimely demise of his father, the parents of one of his best friends, Jenna, and the false demise of her brother, Felix.

Ever since then, he selflessly studied Vale's prinicple secret of Psyenergy--the ability to manipulate the elements with the strength and will of the mind in conjunction with the body--with his comrade and partner, Garet. Both friends blame themselves for the disaster those three years ago--that they could have saved the others if their abilities were stronger. Together they trained in mind and body, Issac always being the leader who rarely spoke, and Garet taking the place of a loyal,yet hotheaded comrade. Jenna watched and sometimes worked with them, even though her feelings mainly centered on putting the past behind.

The three's last adventure together with the Scholar Kraden into the heart of an ancient shrine named Sol Sanctum resulted in the movement of an ancient prophecy that centered around the world's destruction--or its survival. Issac and Felix are both principle figures of that prophecy, both fighting for what they believe in their hearts but still on the opposite sides of the conflict.

Issac is a very talented swordsman, and he has strong control over the Psyenergy of Earth now. Asides from the immediate danger that he poses in close-range combat, Issac also boasts long-range and short range Psyenergy abilities of the earth, including that of curative spells. He possesses a few Dijnni--spirits of the Earth Elemental, Venus--with him, enhancing all of his abilities when junctioned to him or capable of unleashing destructive summon magic when free.

RTT-Delita Hyral
Posts: 47
(5/24/02 3:43:45 pm)

Re: Character Description Thread
Delita Hyral, now the King of Ivalice, is a young man of about twenty whose story of valor will be passed on for many generations to come. He will be considered the legend who singlehandedly brought the Lion War to a close and united the kingdom under one ruler, the man who ascended past his commoner lineage, the son of a family of horsebreeders, to Ivalice's King himself.

The Lion War, for those of you who have yet to play Final Fantasy Tactics, concerned the struggle between Princes Larg and Goltana to rule over Ivalice after the death of the previous King, Omdolia; and the machinations of the Glabados Church in an effort to manipulate both parties into serving their own ends; though the latter was never reported in any works of history, as it was the Church itself that proclaimed Delita the hero of the Lion War.

Prior to the outbreak of this civil war, during the Fifty Year War, young Delita and his sister Teta were adopted by the Beoulves, a respected family of nobles and supporters of Prince Larg, after their parents lost their lives to the Black Plague. Delita grew up alongside his adopted brother Ramza, the protagonist of Final Fantasy Tactics, and both eventually became recruits for the Hokuten, the Knights of Prince Larg's country of Gallione, and took part in several missions against the Death Corps, a group of ex-soldiers from the Fifty Year War who were left with nothing at the war's conclusion and remained bitter with the nobles who they felt had been responsible.

A month or two later, a horrible tragedy at Fort Zeakden, involving the Death Corps and the Hokuten, as well as Ramza and Delita, apparently leads to Delita's death, and Ramza deciding to cast aside his nobility, distance himself from his family, and become a mercenary.

However, Delita had survived the battle, and is seen again by Ramza a full year later apparently as a knight in Goltana's army. Eventually, Ramza comes to discover that Delita is actually a knight of the Church of Glabados, and was apparently working with the High Priest and the Temple Knights to infiltrate and manipulate Goltana's army, though even the Church did not realize that Delita had his own intentions.

The war drags on, with all parties involved eventually losing their leaders, until Delita's rise to power was certain. Eventually, he marries Ovelia, the new Queen of Ivalice, and becomes King.

Yes, I realize I skipped through most of the good stuff, but that's for the intro. :D

In battle, Delita will use his Holy Sword techniques, and possibly a few other abilities. He is a confident, almost arrogant fighter, and never hesitates to charge head-first into a battle, whatever the odds. His skills as a swordsman are only second, in fact, to his skills as a manipulator.

His methods of dealing with people are similar to his demeanor in combat, for the most part. He cares little for allies, but will use them to serve his own needs if necessary.

Occasionally, however, he regrets the actions he's taken to gain the power he now has, and wonders if it was worth it...

Re: Character Description Thread
Throwing away his crown, Conker Squirrel left his kingdom to go off on another madcap adventure for money, babes, alcohol, and even more money. Possessed by greed, he found his way into the Rorouni Taikai Tactics for the rewards alone. (The truth is, he got far too liquored up, and wandered into here.) A true traveller, Conker has gone through much, such as fighting his way through a heavily guarded vault, a beach landing on Tediz occupied land, killing zombies, facing Gre-- Err death himself, slicing apart an alien, dealing with the mob, and even racing in three different vehicles (Which he claims is a low point of his career).

Learning much from his previous adventures, Conker has gained skill in using a variety of destructive weapons. Whether it is a Sniper Rifle, a Rocket Launcher, a chainsaw, or even the sadistic frying pan, Conker is able to use most weapons at his disposal. On the other hand, Conker is unable to understand magic.

Even though Conker uses long range weapons, such as dual SMGs, his class is an Adept due to close range weapons like bats, samurai swords, and the frying pan (If Peach is in the tournament, I challenge her to a Fry Pan Duel! Muuhaha!)

Due to the platform nature from his last adventure, Conker is very agile when it comes to jumping, even using his tail to make him hover (The "Helicoptery Thingy" move).

A true master of disguise, Conker is able to fool the simple minded (And I mean only the simplest of minds) into thinking he's someone else.

Conker has the ability to pull out the objects he needs from thin air, but there are heavy limitations. Such as, stated in the "Rule of Cartoon Physics", Volume 4, Section 7, Article 51: "The object pulled must either add to the humour of the situation, or to move the story in a positive way." This skill is known as Context Sensitive.

Psyche Profile:

Conker is partially insane, but is good natured, friendly, and will help those who need it... For the right price of course. He tends to be sarcastic, and makes even the most dire situations humourous. Conker has a weakness for greed, lust, power, and alcohol.

A mercenary of sorts, Conker will gladly join a team for cash prizes (Or if the team contains a hottie! Watch out ladies!). He has a problem distinguishing friend from foe at first glance, and will try to talk his way out of a situation before fighting.

Re: Character Description Thread
Here's my characters info...
---------------------------
Name: Cinder

Height: 6'2"

Weight: 195

Age: 31

Apprearance: Humanoid in appearance, appear's to be walking fire. Here are some pics of him.
killerinstinct.itgo.com/images/cinderhot.gif
www.gsarchives.com/snes/n...ictory.gif
(Note: copy and paste the top URL to view)

Backstory: He's a convict who was subjected to chemical weapon testing by a company called Ultratech, and as a result of a failed chemical weapon experiment, was mutated into living, humanoid-shaped fire. When Ultratech begins the Killer Instinct Tournament, they promise Cinder freedom if he enter's and defeat's Glacius. I plan to add (more like make up) more to his backstory during the tournament

Personality: Although a bit rude, he act's calm and even friendly when in a good mood. But when angered, he become's sadistic to the point of cruelty towards the people who've made him mad.

Abilities:

Flamethrower- Cinder can release a thin stream of fire from the palm of his hand. It has a range of up to ten feet. He sometime's call's it "Inferno".

Human Fireball- Cinder change's into a large fireball, and flies into an opponent, ramming them. A very fast attack that can't be dodged easily.

Mirage- Cinder thin's his body out until he appears to be an outline of himself. In this state, projectile attacks have no effect on him. Strong physical force like a punch or a kick can cancel out this state.

Heatsink- Cinder renders himself virtually invisible. All that can be seen are his shadow, and a few puffs of smoke that emanate from him. Like Mirage, this technique can be cancelled out if he is struck by strong physical force.

Limited Flight- Cinder can propell himself through the air in his fireball form. Though he cannot fly for more than a few hundred feet and little steering, it's good for a quick escape.

Re: Character Description Thread
Well I've never been in this kind of tournament before so here's the history for Kuja. WARNING some major ffIX spoilers ahead...

Kuja was created on a planet called Terra. He was first a souless being along with many others that would one day be filled with souls and bring life back to the planet. Garland was the creater of this whole thing. He decided to give life to Kuja and another souless being named Zidane. He sent them both to a planet called Gaia to create havoc and choas there. Kuja fullfilled his role very well. He single handley started a war between the the create kingdoms in the Mist Continent. Zidane however settled down into a group of looners for hire.

Eventually Kuja got sick of hiding in the backround and started to do things his own way. Hungry for power and world domination he started to gather power from eidolons. As his power grew so did his hunger. His power grew so much that Garland came to Gaia to stop him from destroying everything. The souls from Gaia is what he needed to fill the souless being on Terra.

Kuja had enough of taking order from everyone. He found a gateway to Terra from Gaia and returned to confront his master. Zidane and company followed him. That is when Zidane first met Garland and Garland told him of his destiny. Zidane did not want a life with Garland and fought and beat him with the help of his friends. That's when Kuja showed up. Kuja easily finished off the weakened Garland and now was bent on killing the only one left that could stop him from universal domination. The fight was brutal and it looked like Zidane was getting the upper hand. But the something happened that Kuja was saving just for the right time. All the power that he had absorded in the Invincible was unleashed, and Kuja tranced! He then did a spell called Ultima which left Zidane and his friend all but dead.

Now, with pure hatred and evil consuming him especially after Garland in his dying words told Kuja that he would not live becuase of his design Kuja went insane and with incredible power destroyed all of Terra. Zidane and company just managed to drag their beat up bodies to the invincable and use that to escape before the planet blew.

Kuja now had a new plan. With his new power being second to none in the universe he entered the Crystal. There he would rule all planets and beings. Meanwhile Garland's spirit helped Zidane and the other get through the tower of memories and reach the Crystal themselves. That is when the final confrontation happened. Kuja was defeated, but not before he could do one more Ultima with all power he had left to once again nearly kill everyone. After another final battle Zidane and everyone got out of the Crystal and got back to Gaia while the Lifa tree was being destroyed. Zidane couldn't ignore his own brother and went back into the Lifa Tree and found Kuja laying helpless under a boulder he couldn't move. After a final cave in he assumed Kuja dead and left to rejoin his love. Kuja however was not dead. With all remaining power he had left he escaped the Lifa Tree and now resides in the Forgotten continent.

Kuja's personality is very mixed. He has found new emotions from the kindness of Zidane, but still has the natural need for power. This has resulted in a war inside him and the result is a rather depressed and silent man. He has long white hair , and a white suite that many could mistake as a more female outfit. He is trying to repend for all of his evil, but still is can be very agreesive. He also can have a short temper at times. He's very much a looner and is reluctant to travel with anyone. What his fate is he no longer knows and is now striving to find answers.

Well there you go. If I did something wrong be all means let me know. I've never done anything like this before. Thanks!

I can't really say that much more about Black Mage. I'm using him as he is in 8-Bit Theatre, because I've never played FF1 for more than 10 mins (which is all my friend's original NES is good for). Black Mage can't stand stupidity, and also can't stand old people. He has no regard for most people's feelings, and is obseesed with girls.

You forgot to mention that he's really, really evil. He also likes to blow things up and stab people.

Worker 8-
Birthplace: Unknowned, found in Goug Machine City mines
Personality: Dutiful and obeys his master once you operate him.

Worker 8 is a Iron Giant of Final Fantasy Tactics. When using a command, he respects it and execute the attack.

He is powered up by the Zodiac Stone Aquarius.

Though he is just like any other robot, no soul and no faith in God.

Sorry if I sounded bad, this is my first time here.

Re: Character Description Thread
Heh Delta. I was wondering if you were planning on going with the FF Tactics formula that says "if you have no Faith, magic can't hurt you."

Were you planning on having magic affect Worker 8? It wouldn't really matter one way or another. I was just wondering for writing purposes.

Re: Character Description Thread
Don't we already have two people from FFT? That would be Agrias and Delita? It's a rule that you can only have two people from a universe.

Oh yeah, so you are screwed. :lol I can't believe I didn't catch that considering that I just read Delita Hyral's intro and the other (Agrias) is on my team. Lord I have problems. :D

RTT - Yamazaki Shinnosuke

Re: Character Description Thread
Well, my character is Yamazaki Shinnosuke, also known as Aoi Satan, the main villain of the first Sakura Taisen game (he also has a cameo-style appearance in the second game).

Now, if you've never heard of him, don't worry. I didn't know anything about him either until I did a bit of a background check on him a few days ago. I've never played any of the Sakura Taisen games, and I've only seen a couple of episodes of the anime, and one of them involved this guy. That's all I knew about him, until I decided to join RTT after all. So I was just as clueless as you people are now.

Let's start with a bit of information about Sakura Taisen for those who don't know anything about it. It's an RPG/dating sim type of game, set somewhere close to the year 1920. It involves mecha called "Spirit Armor", and basically has a bunch of cute girls and their male group leader fighting against different sorts of demons, and the main character trying to get to date one of them at the side. They won't be making very big appearances, mainly because I don't know anything about them, and also because really, Yamazaki didn't really care all that much about most of them.

As far as background story goes, Yamazaki Shinnosuke was a member of a Japanese elite squad named "Taikouma Butai", or Anti "Demon Strike Force". A few years before the beginning of the actual games, Yamazaki fought alongside with Shinguuji Kazuma, who is the father of the main girl, Sakura, in the so-called "Demon War". Shinguuji sacrificed himself to save the others, and Yamazaki became disillusioned with the world, and mankind as a whole, and disappeared. Later he appeared as a megalomanical psychopath villain called "Aoi Satan", who wanted to have his revenge over humanity and basically be as evil as possible.

Now, I'm not going to reveal everything (I've got to leave SOME surprise material for plot twists, eh?), but the story will begin with Yamazaki right after the death of Shinguuji. So, in other words, he's not yet the evil supervillain, but rather, a bitter, angry and melancholy man. This "normal" Yamazaki is somewhat agreeable, although he has no second thoughts about killing any other people if the opportunity and reason should arose. He's basically a "nasty samurai" type, with a sense of honour, but no real heart-felt wish to help anyone. This Yamazaki is calculating and super-intelligent, and can appear nice and even suave if he thinks it will benefit him to make a good impression. However, he believes in the philosophy of "living as a swordsman and dying as a swordsman", so he would prefer to have his way in somewhat fair means, and values a true one-on-one duel.

However, at times, he might go to the "Aoi Satan" mode. Now, in this mode, he's evil incarnate. Imagine the attitude of Id from Xenogears and the style of Vicious from Cowboy Bebop with the philosophies of Shishio Makoto, and you're pretty close... only tune up the evil a few grades. Basically, at this point, run for your lives. ^_^

While in the normal mode, he sounds pretty normal, with some fancy lines of Vicious fashion, as Aoi Satan, well, you can pretty much throw any lame villain speak, and it wouldn't be out of character.

As far as physical appearance goes, Yamazaki is definitely bishounen. He's tall, muscular, but still pretty thin. He's got lush, silver hair, bishounen face, all that stuff. You could say he's a bit of a Zechs Merquise look-alike. However, when he gets mad, he starts to look a lot older, and his face starts to wrinkle in Vicious fashion. In my signature you can see some shots of his face. As you can see, he can be both very beautiful and very scary-looking.

As for clothing, he's got two different styles, and he will use both of them while I'm writing him (let's say that he can magically change between them; don't ask. It's an evil supervillain thing).

You'd be surprised how hard it is to find decent pics of this guy. Below is a picture of him in his samurai garbs. Basically, he's got a snake ornament in his head, a blue shoulder coat, a black kimono, and black hakama. You can't see it in the pic, but he also has sandals. This is, theoretically, his "Aoi Satan" set of clothes, but I'm going to have him use them a lot anyway, because everyone knows that samurai clothes are cool. With this look, he also has a high poinytail, which, along with the snake ornament, gives him a really unique hairstyle.

The other set of clothes he has is is army uniform. It's a rather plain, green uniform with a red collar. He also has a black cape of sorts with these clothes.

So, what about his skills? Regardless of which set of clothes he wears, he carries two Japanese swords with him - a katana and a wakizashi, or for the samurai-illiterate people out there, a long and a short sword. He's a consumnate swordsman, and is a good match for pretty much anyone. He has a special technique named "Aitou - Koutou-Mukei" which does... er... actually, I don't have the slightest idea, because I haven't played the games. :P Let's just say that he doesn't use any flashy magical techniques, but rather, is a pure swordsman.

In Aoi Satan mode, he also has some really evil magical skills, including "Hangon no Jutsu", "Anti-Life Technique", which he can use to summon demons and resurrect people into his mindless pawns. Nasty, eh?

Now... I probably should write an introduction of some sort. Hmm...

Re: Character Description Thread
I'm sponsoring Bowser. I assume you've heard of him. :D Some backstory though: Bowser participated in RT1 as a sidekick, was infatuated with Yume, and started the whole "Love Materia" fiasco. Now, none of that should happen this time, but you never know. :D

The reason Bowser is participating is because recent polls have shown that the kidz of Mushroom Kingdom no longer see him as the baddest mofo in the land, coming in third behind Wario and, *gasp* Wart. So he's out to reclaim his shattered image. And yes, as always, Bowser puts on a blustery image of a rough and tough brawler, but he's a softie at heart. :heart

And if you're expecting a serious story from Bowser, forget it. He might get serious at times, but overall I'm here to provide some comic relief. Along with Conker this should be pretty easy. With Yamazaki Shinnosuke, its gonna be, well, different. :D

Re: Character Description Thread
I wish i had time to write a good intro.. but looks like i'll just have to settle with a brief description of who he is and where i am taking him from.

First of all.. those of you who dont know who strago is should be shot for not playing FFVI :D

Strago is a descent of a clan of Magi, the original magic users since before the battle of the magi. not only is he fairly competent with magic.. but he can also learn enemy skills (the catch is that you have to him him with it first..this should be fun in RTT :) ).

anywho.. i'm taking him from a period of 4 years after the end of FFVI, basically he's a retired gezer who's depessed because he can no longer use skills and magic due to the dissapearance of the espers 4 years ago. he's deperately trying to find a way to be useful once again.. and as the player's of FFVI all know.. once strago has his mind set on something..he's hellbent even if he is 74 years.. he still has some life left..


well.. there's my crappy description... i wish i had time to write an intro... but due to time constrictions.. this is all i am capable of at the moment..(dammit!!)
