Welcome to Gaia! ::

1. Please be literate. I’m not going to be a grammar-nazi but I would like to be able to understand your post.

2. Gaia's ToS demands that we keep it PG-13 so keep it clean, guys.

3. Commitment- I'm not asking you to be on all the time or to post everyday. Since we are a small guild it might take time for things to pick up pace, but if you claim an important character make sure you are around for when we need you.

4. No god-modding, power playing or auto hitting. It’s no fun role-playing with someone who makes his or her character perfect.

5. To show you read the rules at the end of your character application please put “This guy are sick.”

6. Always stay in third person, past tense. For example: *dodges*/dodges/dodge ---becomes---; He narrowly dodged the arced swing of the buster sword.

7. Respect all of the other role-players.

On Double Dipping: The option is open to claim a second character. Please note, I will be much harsher on accepting an application for a second character. If I do not think your posts have been up to par or that you can handle a specific character I can and will reject you.

Needed Characters

More may be added later but these are characters are best to start with.

Major Characters
These are characters who are very important to the story and are best played by people who have experience in RPs and have enough time to be active in the RP.




Biggs
Biggs is a member of Avalanche.







---
Minor Characters
These characters are the ones who aren't actively involved in the story line, (mostly because they are usually alone doing their own thing). These characters are best for those who do not have much time to RP but would still like to participate.




Marlene Wallace
Marlene is four years old and considers Barret to be her father, while she is actually the daughter of Dyne and Eleanor, childhood friends of Barret's. Barret had taken Marlene in as his own daughter after his friend Dyne, his hometown Corel, and loved ones were destroyed by Shin-Ra troops. As Marlene was less than a year old when her town was burned to the ground and her mother was killed, she has no memory of her biological parents. She is also very shy around strangers.








President Shinra
President Shinra is–as the name implies–the President of the Shin-Ra Corporation. He believes he can rule over people with the use of money.









Heidegger
Heidegger is a high ranking member of the Shinra organization, and the head of Public Safety, as well as controlling the Shinra Military (SOLDIER) and the Turks. He is held in high regard by President Shinra. Like Scarlet he can be characterized by his trademark was his "horse laugh," "Gya haa haa haa!"

No matter how many minutes—hours she logged away cleaning the sparse room of the makeshift bar, Tifa always managed to find another speck of area to devote her attention to. It was a nice outlet for her, being able to take a breather from everything—the worries, the cares—and clean up pass messes, her eyes focused on the task at hand but unaware of the world around her. Was a shame though, that all of life’s messes couldn’t be cleaned up with a mop and bucket or even a worn rag.

Gripping the rag between her fingers that much tighter, she let one, almost inaudible sigh escape her lips before she went back to work, glancing down at the wood of the bar top, as if inspecting it and after a few beats, she ran the sorry looking rag over a particular spot, only stopping once the smudge disappeared. Just as she began straightening her back, getting ready to find something else to accomplish, she caught Barret’s low voice and her wine-colored eyes shifted to her left to settle on him. She regarded him silently, sensing he had more to say and within moments, he explained in a handful of words, just why he didn’t think they could pull it off. Opening her mouth for her response, she immediately snapped it shut when the bottom of his glass slammed onto the bar and she ruffled her eyebrows, a hint of concern pulling at her face features.

“Barret, don’t talk like that.” Her tone was light, a playfulness evident behind it, in hopes of cheering his souring mood but it wasn’t obvious enough that it’d overshadow the conversation, and disregard the seriousness of his comments as if they were nothing. “It’s a big job but you’ll find a way to get it done.” Her encouragements were short, but enough to get her point across and although they were hollow reassurances, based off of nothing more than hope, she knew that one of them needed to stay optimistic.

Tseng was a very busy man, especialy at this time. There was still no trace of that annoying rebel group, and Mr. Shinras pateince was at it's very end. Almost as if to punish the Turk leader, he had made Tsengs work load even bigger than it already was.

"And I still havent been able to capture that girl..." he hissed to himself as the elevator doors shut behind him leaving him alone to think for the time being.
"Aerith," he corrected himself once he was sure nobody could hear, "her name is Aerith."
It wouldnt do for anybody at Shinra to hear him going soft for some flower girl. He was suposed to be ice. Cold and uncaring. It was his job to do Shinra's dirty work and like it.

The elevator doors opened and he stepped out into a neerly empty hallway. His office stood at the end of this hall, the biggest one on that floor.
He stepped close to the dorr and it slid open revealing his unaturaly clean office. the first thing he noticed was his desk. piled high with papers that he had just been given to sort through. His desk was without a doubt the messiest thing in the room.

The next thing he noticed was,
"Elana..." he said, narrowing his eyes in annoyance. It wasnt like it was the first time somebody fell asleep in his office, but most of the time people would ask first, especialy if they were so new to the Turks.

"Elana, wake up. I hope you have good news for me," he said coldly, "Or at least, it must be good news if your so relaxed that you can just fall asleep in my office like that."

He walked to his desk and sat down to look through the papers littering his desk. He cast a glance at the window to be sure that it was still day time. Sometimes he really could'nt tell.

Barret’s grip on the glass relaxed as Tifa spoke. Her voice was soft and kind while her words were full of the reassurance he needed to hear. He remained silent long after Tifa had finished talking. His gaze remained low, focused on his reflection that shone back at him on the bar’s surface. He could see how worn his face was and could make out his tired expression. He had made a promise to himself, a promise that he would never give up his battle with Shinra and he would avenge those he had lost. Luckily, for the sake of Avalanche, he had Tifa, who often served as his voice of reason. Without her he would have jeopardized the group long ago by doing something rash.

“You’re right,” He said after a short silence. “I’m jus’ worried that something might happen to Marlene if we fail.” Barret glanced over his shoulder and smiled at Marlene who was hovering behind him. Her large brown eyes were staring up at him sweetly and her face was composed into a playful grin. He reached out and ruffled her hair with his one hand. If he failed he wanted to be the one to pay for it, not Marlene. He could not risk Shinra finding out about her.

He turned back to Tifa with a solemn expression. It was normal for him to be wary before a mission, but this time his worries weighed heavily on his heart. He had known from the beginning that this mission was possibly too ambitious for the time. The others were skeptical at first but his confidence at the time slowly ‘suaded them into it. Biggs, Jessie and Wedge were all prepared to died fighting Shinra with him, but he wasn’t prepared to let Marlene die as well.

Immediately Elena bolted out of the couch and frantically bowed down in apology more times than she could count.

"I'msosorryI'msosorryI'msosorryI'msosorry!" Elena apologized incoherently. After a few seconds of breathing in and out, Elena composed herself and saluted to her leader.

"Tseng, sir! I've come to give you a report!" she proclaimed. Sweat formed in little beads on her fair complexion. She was sure that Tseng knew that she failed even before she spoke.

"Sir..." she began, bowing her head in defeat.

"I've failed the mission in tracking down Avalanche! I will receive my punishment now!" Elena exclaimed and closed her eyes tightly, ready to receive Tseng's wrath.
