Welcome to Gaia! ::

INTRO/SETTING

Okay this is my first attempt at constructing/running an RP so bare with me people. sweatdrop This RP is open to all the Orders and everyone is encouraged to participate. As a matter of fact I need everyone to join cause otherwise this might as well be as dead as a door nail before it even kicks off. I'll even throw in free root beer and gummy bears for life.

The setting takes place in the kingdom of Ivalice 30 years after the events of Final Fantasy Tactics. Delita is still the reigning King of Ivalice. King Delita had regional groups called, Orders, established to protect the zodiac stones from falling into the wrong hands yet again. The 12 Orders are scattered all across Ivalice. They act more like regional governors than anything else and keepers of the peace. The most recent uprising against the Kingdom 7 years ago, has left Ivalice in a state of uncertainty and political strife but, for now peace still roams the land. The question is: How long will it last....?


Please refer to this map of Ivalice for specific locations.

ACCEPTED CHARACTER PROFILES

User Name: The Super Penguin
Character Name: "The Blue Dragon" Tsunaimei Nightbreeze
Age: 44
Gender: Female
Class: Holy Knight
Sub-Class: Knight
Order: Virgo
Weapon: Excalibur
Appearance: Refer to my avatar (RP crime I know but it's the best I can do for right now)
Personality: Tsunaimei is rather stern and can be quite the raging beast when provoked. She's the type of gal that will attack first and ask questions later. Most of the time she reserves herself to the formalities befitting that of the knighthood she was trained under but has her moments of sarcasm as well. Over the years, Tsunaimei has become quite humbled and has managed to evolve into a respected leader who remains calm, cool, and collected when things go awry. She still has a viscous mean streak when pissed off though.
History: Tsunaimei has come a long way since her days fresh out of the Gariland Academy. Having been the veteran of many battles, she has grown formidably strong in both body and soul. From going on wild and crazy adventures with friends to even going on hiatus for months, in a quest to find herself and her purpose in life. Seven years ago, Tsunaimei was at the forefront commanding the combined might of the Orders and the Imperial Army against the various uprisings that occurred against King Delita and his reign over Ivalice. Having spent most of her life on the battlefield, the wear and tear has taken it's toll on the Holy Knight; however, she is more than capable of dispatching those foolish enough to challenge her.
Other: Tsunaimei has been given the name "The Blue Dragon" by her enemies in reference to her ferocity and elegance shown on the battlefield. She was knighted as an honorary member of the Order of Taurus by Lady Celeste. Tsunaimei was the one of the founding members of the Virgo elite military force known as the "White Phoenix".

Loyal and determined to prove herself amongst her peers, Kayla usually ends up getting picked for the more subtle tasks around Virgo. Thus becoming Virgo's designated errand girl. She has very little combat experience.
Other: She idolizes Tsunaimei almost to the point of obsession and hopes to one day have the legendary holy knight further her training so she can become a member of the White Phoenix. She secretly has held a crush on Dominic Obsidian ever since he saved her from drowning in a nearby lake. Which is the reasoning behind her wanting to join the White Phoenix.

User Name: The Super Penguin
Character Name: "The Maverick" Hyato Krouger
Age: 52
Gender: Male
Class: Sniper
Sub-Class: Archer
Order: Virgo
Weapon: 2 Pistols and a Longsword
Appearance: Hyato
Personality: Laid back, cocky, arrogant, and cynical to no end, Hyato makes it a point to be a showoff. He is also quite known for being rebellious and causing trouble everywhere he goes. Hyato is also quite the ladies man.
History: Hyato joined the Order of Virgo not too long after Tsunaimei had did along with his best friend Raipheale. Over the years, Hyato made a name for himself within the Order for being a highly skilled marksmen. Hyato and Dominic have had a storied rivalry ever since Tsunaimei selected the youth to join the White Phoenix. They constantly try to one up each other in terms of ability and showmanship which has resulted in many a physical confrontation between the two. Hyato used to be in a rocky relationship with Brynhildr until he decided to cut the ties. Little did he know that the next 2 years of his life would be spent in jail under false pretenses of an assassination attempt on the King.
Other: He is one of the founding members of the White Phoenix. Lady Tsunaimei dubbed him "The Maverick" considering that he defied carrying out orders to her liking more times than she can remember. Hyato oversees the more reconnaissance type missions and ranged training when it comes to matters of the White Phoenix. One time during a defensive battle at Dugeura Pass, Hyato shot down 100 men all by his lonesome. Hyato and Raipheale constantly fight like brothers and the two of them are very rarely ever seen by themselves. Hyato had been the one to shoot Raipheale's eye during their initial encounter before they became like brothers. Hyato is currently being held prisoner within Igros Castle for bogus charges of attempted assassination on the King.

User Name: The Super Penguin
Character Name: "The Angel of Chaos" Raipheale Plateaigo
Age: 52
Gender: Male
Class: Arc Knight
Sub-Class: Black Mage
Order: Virgo
Weapon: 2 Spiked Gauntlets, Dark Arts
Appearance: Raipheale
Personality: Originally, Raipheale was once that of a psychotic mastermind of murder and destruction, who loved nothing more than to make his victims suffer in the worst way possible and then add insult to injury for his own personal amusement. Thanks in large part to Hyato and Altima, he turned over a new leaf, the Demon Angel is quite humble and generous despite his physical appearance. Generally, he always has a calm demeanor about him and usually keeps to himself unless need be. Every now and then he struggles to kept his demonic tendencies in check.
History: Raipheale was once a normal man studying Black Magic in Obea when he was kidnapped by a cult of foolish mages trying to use forbidden rituals to summon a demon for their own means. Though successful in summoning a powerful demon to be hosted within Raipheale's body, what the cultists didn't count on was the fact they were powerless to control it. The ritual forever changed Raipheale's body, most notably giving him demonic bat-like wings, changing his eye color from brown to a bright yellow, and giving him a demonic echo in his tone of voice. Shortly after being reborn as a demonic angel of sorts, Raipheale went on a rampage slaughtering nearby settlements. His best friend, Hyato Krouger, made the discovery too little too late and the two engaged in an epic battle just outside Virgo HQ which resulted in Raipheale losing his left eye. Raipheale was about to deal the final blow to Hyato when Lady Fiora summoned Altima in an effort to save the marksman's life. Altima managed to purify most of the demonic presence within Raipheale but could not completely remove it. Since his redemption, Raipheale has served Virgo
Other: Over the years, Raipheale has been able to control the evil demon within him. He was also another founding member of the White Phoenix. Tsunaimei granted him the name of "The Angel of Chaos" for being a nearly unstoppable force on the battlefield. Then again once he loses his sense of control of his emotions all hell breaks loose. He joined the Order of Virgo the same time Hyato did. Raipheale and Hyato have been friends since childhood. After Hyato's arrest, Raipheale attempted to break in and rescue his dear friend but the plot was foiled. King Delita had different plans for the demonic man as opposed to throwing him in the dungeon to rot along with his rambunctious friend, the King had Raipheale be taken to a hidden chamber inside of Igros Castle, in order to try and release the demon within the Arc Knight for his own diabolical means.

User Name: Alundra_Daydreamer
Character Name: Brynhildr Valkyrie
Age: 47
Gender: Female
Class: Dark Knight
Sub-Class: Black Mage
Order: Leo
Weapon: Lance
Appearance: Brynhildr
Personality: Brynhildr is nice and kind but in reality, she only acts that way to get closer to people in order to better know their weaknesses. She has a silver-tongue and manages to twists words in order to create chaos, fights and riots.
History: Brynhildr is part of the Order of Leo and is one of the oldest members. She grew up on the outskirts of Magick City Garland and her family was prosecuted for believing and following a different faith. It has since then, left a bitter taste in her mouth. She joined the Order of Leo and when the war struck 7 years ago, she helped defended it. It was then Brynhildr turned against her allies in hopes of becoming the Judge herself. She was stopped however and brought to justice. Brynhildr served her punishment and appeared 'repentant' over her actions. Unhappy with the current Judge, Brynhildr has once more set her sights upon overthrowing the monarchy and taking over the Order for own selfish gains and reasons.
Other: She is the reason Dmitri lost his eye. Since then, they are no longer friends. Brynhildr was also the one who set Hyato up after the infamous marksman ended their relationship.

---------------------------

User Name: Alundra_Daydreamer
Name: Dmitri fon Ronsenburg
Age: 46
Gender: Male
Class: Dark Knight
Sub-Class: Knight
Order: Leo
Weapon: Blood Sword, Diamond Shield
Appearance: Dmitri
Personality: Dmitri is loyal to Alundra and the Order of Leo. Dmitri is quiet and observant around others and talks only when he needs to. Dmitri remains serious about any job/task he is given. Rarely does the knight laugh or smile. Though, during these times of turbulence, the former knight has become bitter and jaded.
History: Dmitri is nothing special, at least that is what he grew up listening to. Dmitri listened to his Grandfather's tale of an Ivalice long ago and in particular about a knight, which inspired Dmitri to always study hard and do well in his academy. Many believed he would follow in his father's steps and become a black mage, as he had the brains and heart to be one. However, he decided to follow his dreams and became a knight. This caused his family to become angry and disown him. Rather than crying about it, Dmitri embraced it. As a mockery, Dmitri stole his family's crest, abandoned his family's last name of "de Rais" and changed it to "fon Ronsenburg"; the same last name as the knight from his grandfather's tale. Dmitri soon encountered Brynhildr and the two became best friends. Managing to convince the former knight of royalty, Dmitri joined Leo and rose through the ranks along side his friend. He helped defend the Order when war broke out completely and things spiraled out of control for the worse. Although Dmitri was successful in leading an army to reclaim the Order, he lost his right eye; a price he considers small. Dmitri still believes he is a reincarnation of the knight from his grandfather's tale. The knight's name was Basch.
Other: He is loyal to all Orders in General but is most loyal to Leo though. He was once a friend of Brynhildr's but since she cut his eye out, he hates her and is always suspicious of her, to the point where he is called 'paranoid'.

User Name: Maluc_Fieri
Character Name: Mer'loct Dursidain
Age: 22
Gender: Male
Class: Holy Swordsman
Sub-Class: Monk
Order: Leo
Weapon: Save the Queen (His father's sword)
Personality: He seems quiet, usually, but more precisely he's calculative, cautious, and exact.
History: Mer'loct was destined for a superior battle prowess since before his very conception. His father was general under Duke Larg in the 50 year war, and after he served alongside Zalbag in the War of the Lions. After the poisoning of Larg, he felt treachery coming against him and knew not who to trust. He went into hiding with his family; Mer'loct's mother and his two elder brothers, both of whom were Hokuten Knights. Taking his entire fortune in cash, the general knew he could last for decades in the slums without any need for any extensive contact with anyone they may not need to trust, so they hid deep in the slums of the Trade City Dortor. With a renewed commitment and an abundant amount of time to spend with his children, he began training them in art of advanced sword skills. Years into hiding Mer'loct was born from an unplanned pregnancy from his 53 year old mother. She died from the stress a day after the childbirth. With a lack of female influence in the household of knights, combat fueled their lives and Mer'loct was quickly forged into a weapon. Learning complex knight techniques at the impressively early age of 10, Mer'loct was driven into being a prodigy, if he couldn't pick something up he was pushed past his limits til he surpassed them and moved forward. Mastering his father's advanced sword skills at the age of 16, he was skilled enough to spar with both his brothers against him at the same time. His father lived to the age of 72 and with his dying wish he wanted his two eldest sons to take the 17 year old Mer'loct into the world they had left behind, and he urged them to finally rejoin it. After traveling Ivalice for 3 years Mer'loct watched the murder of his two older brothers at the hands of a masked assassin. By the order of his brothers he hid while they fought, and as they died he felt as if he had as well, but he stayed silent and hidden, he remembered the way he fought, the sound of his voice, and the look of his poisoned blade. He vowed in silence to avenge them and since that day he's traveled with his sword in hand, searching for his brothers' murderer.
Other: Along with his favorite hobby, swordplay, Mer'loct also enjoys painting, music, and poetry.

User Name: Aria_Knight_Lyrac
Character Name: Ser Lyrac De Celene
Age: 44
Gender: Male
Class: Runic Knight
Sub-Class: (Being Utterly Useless)
Order: Aries
Weapon: Rune Blade
Appearance: (Fail Sauce)
Personality: Outspoken, reckless, rude, arrogant, prideful, loyal only to one Order, while every other order he despises due to his believe of Aries should be the rightful ruler of all the other Orders, despises royalty, and despises politicians.
History: A troublemaker since childhood, his outspokenness and his recklessness has gotten him into trouble in more ways than anything, ranging from bullying to pranks. His parents, nobles themselves, decided that it would be best to send him to a military academy to set him straight, it didn't at first, he would consistently attempt to get himself kicked out on several occasions, on his last attempt, he had finally drove the instructors crazy enough, that he would be kicked out, except, he was forced to, by orders of his own parents. He remained in that military academy until he became a Knight at 23. By age 25, King Delita's introduction of the Houses, gave him an idea, of leading a house of his own, using his status, as well as his parents, he would eventually become the first Judge of the House of Aries, he would later be accompanied by Greywulf and Magno Firebrand, the three would become the three most prominent members of the House of Aries. The three would build it over the short 5 years. As time came by, they would have services of great men and women. Almost all of the prominent of it's members have the capabilities to lead the Order, almost equal under the leadership. He had ruled with an almost dictatorial leadership, forcing many of it's members to develop skills independently in order to succeed him. But however, many of the men and women, he ruled are loyal, and they would do anything that was asked of him. This loyalty would later be made known to many other Orders, as the golden era of Aries. But however, in later years, politicians, were growing fearful of House of Aries' influence and might, on not just the common people, but also along the other orders, they forced rules against the House of Aries in an attempt to make them somewhat subdued, Lyrac rose up in protest, but was quickly silenced by the King himself threatening him, that if he didn't follow the rules that were given, he would be executed. He backed off, and bowed, but he was irate about these. The rules were so tight, that Aries would lose many, almost a ghost to what it was. Lyrac would have a grudge, against the Crown and the politicians, but also the Orders, which did not support them at their time of need, instead they stood silently to give pleasure to the King. He announced his retirement and placed Greywulf in charge. Although the retirement isn't really a retirement at all, in fact, he's still playing a big part in the Order of Aries, still acting as if he was still Judge.
Other: Lryac got shanked by a great white shark named Bubbles.

A band of twenty men in a clan that was dedicated to evil, and destruction raided his village, and killed everyone but him, who had been thrown into the nearby river by his lover to save him as they were running for their lives. when he returned to the village, it was burned to ashes, and the dead bodies left as grotesque testaments to the evil that the clan would reign. Valthis swore revenge upon them no matter what it would cost him.... After all, what left did he have to lose? Local Tonberries gathered to the remains of the town sensing the pure hatred, and lust for revenge within Valthis. They seemingly wanted to help him. Valthis knew what the tonberries were known for, and feared them.... But when a Masterberry had approached him, and handed him a knife, he smiled. He followed the tonberries, and slowly adopted their way of life. He thought of himself one of them. The masterberry taught him to use his revenge to gain strength, and before handing him a robe, and a lantern, the masterberry had pointed him toward one of the twenty men who raided his village. He knew exactly what to do. He assassinated the man, and stabbed him thirteen times in the chest before he felt satisfied with the man's death. The tonberries then left him to his mission of revenge. He now wanders the lands in search of the scattered sixteen men left.... The others have already felt his revenge.

User Name: Maluc_Fieri
Character Name: Maluc Fieri, while in hiding he goes by the name Grastar Revuke

Gender: Male
Class: Sword Saint
Sub-Class: Mathematician
Order: None, Formerly of Leo
Weapon: Ragnarok
Appearance: Click for awesomeness!
Personality:Straightforward and to the point, Maluc refuses to let people know him. He's kind and trustworthy, but merciless against his enemies. He tries to stay keen to all that happens around him or the people he keeps near him.
History: Maluc rose through military ranks quickly, hailing from the military academy in Igros, beginning his military career during the lion war, but became somewhat distrustful of everything that the state had it's hands in throughout time. Falling from military graces just at the end of the Lion War, he left his career behind to seek a sanctuary from the eyes and ears of Ivalice. Finding the fledgling Order of Leo, he helped build it under a fellow knight deserter from Lionel. Standing as Vice Judge under him he served the Order for ten years before becoming Judge himself. Once he was Judge he became aware of so much that had been happening behind the scenes. The politics of the Zodiac Orders were far more complicated than he originally imagined. Soon there were whispers of rebellions, of assassinations, dozens of nobles and clergymen who were coming to power who wanted nothing more than to seek the power of the stones. In the middle of the night one evening, an assassin tried to do away with the judge. After a short battle the killer fled, but not before leaving Maluc with a scar to mark of the encounter. Soon he heard from one of his contacts in Lesalia that the assassin had been hired by the King. Knowing that someone as greedy and corrupt as well as resourceful as Delita was after the stone left him no choice. Leaving a small note on his bed, stating that he'd taken the stone for reasons he couldn't state, Maluc left the Order of Leo without looking back. His only hope being that Alundra's ignorance to the dark happenings keep her safe. Hoping peace would take them in his absence, and that the last 25 years in service to the Order wouldn't ever be undone he went into hiding.
Other: Though in hiding from royalty and the world, Maluc still listens to the happenings of the world, ever watchful of the moment he'll need to return for the sake of the Leo Order.

User Name: Hazelyeddemon88
Character Name: Celeste Silversong
Age: Seems to be 22
Gender: Female of course
Class: Black Mage
Sub-Class: None
Order: Taurus
Weapon: Black Mages staff
Appearance: Celeste
Personality: She is a bit of a shy person. But when she sees something she wants she goes for it. She is loyal to all she call friends but she isn't easy to trust. She speaks only the truth. If you ask her something be careful...she could answer more than you want to know..or want to hear.
History: Not a lot is known of Celeste. She was orphaned as a child. In doing so she was taken up by a guild of black mages that taught her many of the spells she knows. Soon when she became of age she was accepted into the order of Taurus. There she grew, learned to fight and strengthened her black magic skills. She traveled a long way from the Taurus order to Virgo. There were rumors going around she had heard and came to see if everyone was alright..
Other: She is a flirt...*wink*

Delita had been pacing his throne room all morning. He had to get rid of or convert the remaining loyal subjects of the Orders, and in particular, the stubborn ones. He began to send out letters to those particular individuals. It was simply a matter of time. Of patience. While he wished they could arrive here faster, Delita knew it would take some time for them all to come.

Just as he was about to retire, a guard came in and bowed quickly. Before the guard could introduce the visitor, she had already stormed in and introduced herself....and with open disdain. His lip curled and his dark brown eyes narrowed at her as he sat down on the throne.

"Lady Tsunaimei, I am so glad you could make it." He replied back with disdain. "I pray your trip was well and smooth. In any event, I wanted to know how your Order was doing...especially since the war struck it." He leaned forward slightly, watching her with scrutiny. Before he could even continue, another visitor entered.


Dmitri wasted no time in reaching the throne room and bowing before Delita. "Dmitri fon Rosenburg, Ark Knight of the Order of Leo, as you requested your Highness."

Delita leaned back with a smirk on his face. "Ah, Dmitri. I was just asking Tsunaimei how her Order was faring. I hear Leo took quite a blow as one of its own Ark Knights betrayed them." He chuckled. "What has happened to that traitor, may I ask?"

Dmitri frowned. "Still with us I'm afraid m'lord. She repented and the Judge forgave her." He stated with a growl. "Other than that, the Order has slowly been recovering."

Delita's smirk grew into a smile. "I see. A pity to hear the traitor still lives. You know what I'd do if such an event occurred in my court." He then shrugged and glanced back to Tsunaimei.

Sir Sakazaki had followed Dmitri as an escort to the King Hyral's castle in Igros. He stood out from the regular knights and guards thanks to his bronze colored armor. His trusty chocobo stood just like him, at attention and waiting yet would peck at the ground as his young squire threw bread crumbs about. Masanori's protege wasn't like him at all, more spunk and fire than he could ever have... but none the less he is proud of her.

"Sir, I've never been to Igros before... is it always like this?" the squire would ask, watching her armored master.

"Only on good days..." he'd reply, "Though I prefer snow and rain to this fine weather. That b*****d Dmitri said nothing of warm weather."

Masanori only hoped that this trip was worth it. Taking young Ophelia away from his own work seemed to bring a smile on the girl's face... but He'd rather be cleaning his new collection and replacements. If Lady Valkyrie isn't arrested he'll dispatch her himself... She's setting a bad example to the younger members and ruined his own image of her... To think Masanori once looked up to her during his youth!

5 Days previous Tsunaimei's meeting with the king.

The air stank, a liquor in it's hue, all through out the pub. His head in his hands the hooded figure in the corner fought a headache and a hangover from the the night before. Stuck in his rut he waited and watched as the night air waded slowly into the hot breath of the tavern door and the drunkards abound became a blur. A deep breathe into his lungs, a fire through his throat, painful exhale through the scratch of warm whiskey.

His fingers nibbled at the hilt of his sword, his ears nipped at sharp tongued words stabbing at him. As the night air gripped him so did his temper. His gaze fluttered about the night-lit street he now found himself, the armored fool still yelling before him. Soon a quick flicker of a blade, not his, and a smirk crossed his lips. upwards to parry, the blade shot from it's hilt, then a twist, a push, a flourish and of a wave of energy. The eye opened above the man before him and fear gripped his foe's heart. A flash of red painted against the fearful eyes of onlookers, against the walls of the entire town, along the stars on their path in the sky. The armored man falls to his knees, begins to beg, he'd laugh if this hadn't happened so often. Back inside, the scratch, the burn, the rut. He couldn't tell if he was waiting or lost.

((Hehehe... too late I'm moving on xd ))

The night spent itself quickly soon the doors he'd sat behind shut themselves behind him. His eyes searched frantically for a destination til a voice came from behind him.

"Go South." The cryptic voice spoke then faded away.

His jaws clenched, infuriated and confused. "Foul phantom voice! Show yourself!! Have I gone that mad?!" Most people on the street would agree with his insanity considering he was speaking to no one at full volume, or past it. "These past two years I've listened to you, they've been harder than any before! Such strife at the hands of a simple path, with no progress!..... I can't take this anymore!"

"Calm...." The voice persisted. "Killer...."

At this his eyes narrowed, his goal was always within sight, but always moving, so hard to pin down, so invisible.

"Goug...." The voice said casually.

His spirit seems to fall from him at the mention of where he was heading. "Goug?! The machine city is so far?! Why did you lead me here, to Lesalia if I were to go so far south again! Couldn't I have stayed in Warjilis?!?!" His fury was mixing with frustration and it soon met against the liquor leaving him slumped upon the ground.

"Patience.... learn.... soon." The voice spoke eluding to something, but what?

Back to his feet he climbed, taking a look around at a few other drunks who'd been watching him he began to leave. With a swing, his bag was over his shoulder, it knocked him off the balance he'd just regained, he fell to the ground. With his head still spinning from the whiskey he turned around and began heading back to his room in the inn. "I'll leave in the morning, it's a long way and I should be prepared."

Delita frowned and inwardly he seethed. It was not the answer he was hoping for. "A pity Lady Tsunaimei. I hope you and your Order are able to recover it from those ruffians."

"As do I." Dmitri muttered, saddened. "If Virgo needs aid, please, don't hesitate to send word to Leo. I'll lend a hand in the search."

Delita leaned back into his throne. If it is truly lost, then we have a chance to reclaim it before they do. A voice whispered in his head. We can avoid a war with Virgo and avoid losing fodder. Delita silently agreed with the voice and sighed.

"I am awaiting the other messengers from the other Orders. If neither have any further questions, please feel free to go."

Dmitri arose, the fact his feet had fallen asleep while bowing to the tyrant made him stumble slightly. He bowed to Tsunaimei and motioned he'd wait outside for her for a while. It wasn't long before he was outside, scowling.

"Sir Sakazaki and Lady Ophelia, we may leave." He sounded angry. "What a waste of time. He could have asked for written word! What is the King thinking these days?" He growled.

Dmitri ran a hand through his hair. "The kingdom grows madder with each passing day." He muttered.
