Welcome to Gaia! ::

While most of us know the Turks by heart, I noticed a couple of posters were unsure about who was who. So I was just going to take the time to list them, mostly bc I have nothing better to do, and It might help clear things up for some people out there.

*Tseng- Tseng was the leader of the Turks. He was the one with long black hair, and the only Turk in the game that you do not fight(not counting Vincent, who has long since left the Turks before the game's begining) . He seemed pretty emotionless until his final moments in the game where he offers to take out Ellena, and admits his love for Aeris.

*Reno- Reno is the laid back, red haired Turk with all the fangirls (if you couldn't tell by all the Reno talk in this thread). He is the first Turk you run into in the game, as well as the first Turk that you fight. His weapon of choice is the magrod (pretty much a cattle prod). He is loyal to his job, but knows that his life comes first. He seems to be the second in command, but it is never really mentioned in the game.

*Rude- Rude is the silent, bald, sunglass wearing Turk. He appears to be Reno's best bud, or atleast Reno's drinking partner. He fights with only his fists, although it is made apparent that he carries throwing knives when he uses one against Don Corneo while in Wutai.

*Ellena- Ellena is the spunky, blonde, short tempered, rookie Turk. She has an undying desire to prove herself in battle, which takes the form of a dire hatred of Cloud and the rest of AVALANCHE. She is madly in love with Tseng, although he never really pays attention. While she isn't the direct cause of some of the Turks' funnier moments, she does well to compliment Reno and Rude's laziness by playing the part of the straight-man.

**Vincent- Vincent was a Turk before the start of the game. Because he challenged Hojo's love of Lucrecia, he was used as an experiment, and condemned to a life of misery.

** Rufus- As Vice President of Shin-Ra, one of his duties was to be in direct charge of the Turks. He was their supervisor, and Tseng answered directly to him. A lot of the official art depicts Rufus with the Turks. Whether you want to consider Rufus as a part of the Turks is a personal choice.

They're either scars or...perhaps...tribal markings? tattoos? the most popular explanation is scars, but considering how they look in AC& BC...*shrugs* I have read so many stories about those damn scars...hopefully AC will tell us eek whee

Rude's eyes are dark brown. I'VE SEEN THEM! It was like an epiphany! xd There's a really awesome AC desktop and you can see through Rude's shades. nyuk nyuk. 3nodding

OMF. You must show me before I die of anticipation. Pleeeease. And I've a sort of odd penchant for wanting them to be bottle-green. Or mayhaps I'm reading too much Harry Potter. (but Harry isn't even my favorite character, Lupin is.)

Of course, the color might be skewed since they're viewed through the shades >_>

But nevermind. Show me? Please? whee

this un' here!

you might have to fiddle with the brightness or contrast a little, but you can see his eyes! I schwear! whee

(Lupin's my fave too! biggrin )

WHOA, holy crud. eek Kind of really hard to see what color they are but HOLY! You can see his eyes! This is AMAZING. crying Thanks heart

The turks...an elite fighting group that gets their freakin' @$$es handed to them every single time! I love it! Rud is the MAN! How can you not like a bald guy in a suit that doesn't talk and can whup the shizznit out of you?! I mean come on! He is obviously the strongest of the Turks, considering near the end of FFVI he's doing 3000 damage with a single punch. Can you say, 'Bye-bye, bone structure'?

I 've only seen one piccy of him from AC, but I'll say that he looks hundreds of times better than Reno. I'd even go so far as to say that he looks better than Cloud!
