Welcome to Gaia! ::

Dust By Dust and Fire by Ice
Let Met Tell You The Tale
Of Men and of mice
And of a dark eyed girl
Who Died To save the world.

((omg I think this is cool we should RP the Aeons themselves!! I always wanted to do that...))

I call Bahamut! (I'll write a profile for him shortly)

I think this way might be funner then the traditional FFX story, maybe it can be more from the Summoner's point of view? I dunno....

So yay we have Bahamut and Shiva...hmm



Bahamut - 10,000 Years Old... Male.

Bahamut, the God of Summons, isn't the most powerful Aeon, but he is one of the oldest....and is considered a 'grandfather' in the Summoner community. He looks like a black dragon with beautiful raven-colored wings, that also have a bit of red on them. His face looks worn and like he has seen a lot in his time, which he has. He's witnessed empires rise and crumble....worlds change, people evolve... and devolve, and still somehow those things rarely impressed him. Only the deeds of common people trying to make it appealed to him. He never forgot the power of friendships and how a kind word can make anybody's day.

The tip of Bahamut's wings were adorned with a glistening white material, said to have been the substance that created the first White Mages that walked upon the earth, although nobody knows if that's true or not. When he roars, it's powerful, but also mystically gentle. Bahamut is known as one of the 'Old Ones' and can naturally break the damage limit against fiends. His power could grow to limitless proportions, but that would never happen.

Why, you ask? The truth was, Bahamut was dying. After Lydia's journey he would be laid to rest. Even Great Beings(tm) have to end sometimes...such is the way of all things. It was sad, and lonely, but he had to accept it.

There was just one more journey....

Bahamut flew in Shiva's Icy temple. Being near-indestructible and airborne, he could travel from one place to another with ease. It took him 10 minutes to get to most places whereas non-Godlike beings it would take 10 days, at least.

"Shiva" Bahamut spoke in a burly, all-powerful voice. "I have come to speak with you...about The Chosen One, Lydia. I am deeply worried. I guess this is just an old fart being paranoid but..." Bahamut laughed at himself in a self-deprecating manner. He was definitely showing his age.

He cleared his throat, and continued. "....We Aeons await in our temples, lonely until the day the summoner arrives and returns us to Innocence Once More. I know it is against the rules and what we have done for eons, but may I suggest that we seek out The One more pro-actively this time? I know-I know, we're vulnerable and we're weakened until we meet our summoner.... but I cannot rest any longer. I am afraid-" He paused for dramatic effect. -"I am afraid that I will be nothing more than a corpse by the time Ma'lady gets here."

He knew what he was suggesting was far out there. Aeons.... until they met there summoner....were incredibly vulnerable in the 'real world.' In fact, Bahamut lost his flying power even now...so he wouldn't be able to go to the girl so easily. All Summoners were recharged in their own temples, and their health and vitality drained ever so slowly when they stepped out, if they weren't yet paired with their summoner, of course. Aeons were nothing more than the Immortal Dead without the life and innocence of their Summoners. They were no better than the Zombies and the Vampires.

"This is a good idea, but I'm not sure if it will be of help" Bahamut said softly. "I need to hurry the girl along so she may save the world, and I am not so sure I'll be as convincing in lizard form...."

An anger rose in Bahamut's large heart, and he swung his tail, knocking Shiva down. "Respect your elders, b***h - I've lived longer than you have, I'm bound to make some mistakes..."

He then howled with laughter at his outburst. After cooling off he was then somehow thankful that Shiva still had the power to get under his skin. "Oh Shiva, you're a militant bulldyke like always" he said out of love and jest.

((we can do Lydia's point of view and her guardians as well too if you want...we can always switch back and forth...lemme know what you think, and I'll try to make a character.))
