Time Zone: Mountain Time

Character Information:
Fandom: Final Fantasy Nine
Name: Baku
Character Model: Ron Perlman.
Age: 58
Current Residence: Little Niblehiem
Occupation: Works as the professor and director of all the theatre classes at Balamb university. Is also one of the campus counsellors, although many students tend to take his advice a little harshly. There are many rumours he lets his kids and students run amok of the school for him for certain material purposes.

Personality: Baku can only be describes as a stocky and large man. Beyond his outwardly beastly appearance though-- Baku is basically the exact same way. He’s loud, strong-willed, easily confused and angered, and downright rash at times. His riotous manner is very becoming of a man of his personality. He won’t hesitate to tell you how things are and what is on his mind or shout and bellow when things don’t go his way. Baku is demanding, as he is challenging. Under his entire rough and raucous manner, Baku is found to be quite the family man. He actually cares deeply for his sons, as well as the rest of his family although his methods of showing love and care might not be textbook. Yes, nothing short of smacking his kids hard upside the head (and on most occasions knocking them blankly unconscious) is the extent of showing how much high regard he has for his loved ones.

Baku - TWO
[info]michrure
2008-01-19 06:55 am UTC (link)
Biography: Baku has already lived a rather long and fulfilled life. His past can easily be summed up in a few tragic story book lines. He grew up in scummy side of town, in a rickety old house with a parent that raised him with an odd sense of logic, a firm hand and with loose moral support. He was known as that one kid down the street with the dirty and ripped jeans who always had stolen coins and candy in his pockets. That one child with a slightly crooked nose from one too many fights, scabbed knees and a tendency to pick up anything that were shiny and stick them in pockets.

His life hasn’t really changed since then. Baku still possesses his kleptomaniac behaviours and his impulses to get into fights. But it was his sense of group dependency that got him through his life. It was early on that Baku found that there were a few people in the world exactly like he was. People who were going nowhere, living no good lives, stealing and living each day by a single dollar. But with those sorts of lives there is certain goodness, an appreciation for nothingness. Something that had to be banded together and formed into something that would stay afloat.

Upon seeing so many kids tough on their luck when he was well in his forties, Baku decided to make a united group. It was seeing these kids so perfectly wasted to the future that he decided he’d have to give them what was left in his pockets that he had taken. Still living in that old rickety house on the end of the street, Baku ended up taking in a few boys and making them his own. Sons that would have somewhere to make something of themselves inside of continuing to live as street rats in the gutter. His house (later nicknamed Prima Vista by the kids.) became a jungle of rough housing and loud music, a sanctuary for teens with too much time on their hands. His basement was filled with snatched items and stolen goods, he had broken windows and graffiti scrawled everywhere. But, his kids grew up with a new sense of self and sense of family even if his family seemed more like a group of thieves. He gave them the desire to protect loved ones and care for people who can’t keep care of themselves. A family was family, even if they weren’t as thick as blood.

When they grew older, Baku decided to take a more suitable job. He became a director at Balamb University and the professor of theatre arts. Even if he teaches students how to bring about the perfect emotion across a practiced line of script, he’s more widely known for his crazy ways of teaching which usually constitutes a shove or smack to the head rather than a strict lecture (It‘s how he taught his sons respect as well.). His classes have turned out to be pure insanity, filled with creative exercises that somehow manage to teach the students more than they realize.

It’s all of this that has made Baku more known as “Papa Tantalus“ or simply, “Pops”, and if he’s not telling and smacking his sons around, he can usually be found in his theatre bellowing out majestic lines of script.

Squall - ONE
[info]michrure

Player Information:
Name: Mich
Age: 18
Personal Journal: [info]michrure
AIM: rehcim
Email: michrure@hotmail.com
Time Zone: Mountain Time

Character Information:
Fandom: Final Fantasy Eight
Name: Squall Leonhart
Character Model: Kato Shigeaki (1) (2)
Age: 19
Current Residence: Rabanastre Apartment complex. Flatmate with Jack Skellington.
Occupation: First year University student studying civil engineering and works as a part time auto mechanic. He’s not all too sure with what he wants to do in life just yet.

Personality: Squall Leonhart has been described as the lone wolf and the isolated pouty jerk his entire life. Not only is he usually aloof and highly uninterested in things that don‘t concern him, he can easily be seen as cold and standoffish. He likes to keep to himself, thinking that having social relationships is basically a waste of time and that there is only one person he can rely on-- himself. Squall isn’t very talkative although when he does get speaking he can usually throw together apathetic comments or retorts. He seems the follower type, always listening to tasks given to him for school and work, even though everyone around him seems to think he would be best suited as a leader, much to his inner dismay. He has a tendency to think to himself much too often, having an inner commentary constantly running in his head about the world around him.

Even though Squall may seem like the most introverted person there is to meet in the world, underneath his cold and icy glares, insecurities and manner, he’s actually capable of caring and trust. The little friends that he does manage to make indeed know that Squall does love and care for certain people around him and that it is just the way that he is. He can probably come to outwardly showing he cares for people with time, if those people give him it and allow him to be the person he is as well. In by no means is Squall a mean person but actually has such captivating worth and is just quiet and has a tendency to keep all of his comments to himself which is not necessarily always a good thing.

Squall - TWO
[info]michrure
2008-01-22 12:54 am UTC (link)
Biography: Squall Leonhart was raised in Twilight City for as long as he can remember surrounded by the walls of the Kramer Orphanage. Unfortunately, that is as far as he can remember about his past, other than those stony walls. He has no parents as far as he knows, long ago forgotten and not part of his memories. His past consisted of his older sister and the few children that he grew up with in that orphanage. He was happy as a kid, truth be told. He smiled sometimes, looked up to people and had childish adventures. His sister and he were nearly inseparable, and he loved her dearly. Although his sis wasn’t his by blood, there wasn’t any other person he’d rather spent time with other than his matron.

So when his sister got picked up and adopted one day and she disappeared from his life forever, Squall didn’t have anyone else to look up to and didn’t want to try and get close to anyone else. He quickly grew up the next following years in an isolated state, deciding to stay away from people rather than trying to get close. His sister had left as well as his parents, so how was he supposed to know if anyone else was going to be leaving him?

His childhood wasn’t that important to him anyway. Squall Leonhart grew up quickly after that. Never being adopted did not help his growing apathetic personality, and when he turned sixteen he found himself emancipated and on his own. He finished school on his own and worked as many hours as he could to pay for the things that he needed to pay. All his hard work and waste no time attitude managed to pay off soon enough and Squall managed to apply and get accepted for a student loan and later entered university studying civil engineering.

What this lone wolf doesn’t really realize is the significance of the people in his past. Since he’s long forgotten any of those details, he hasn’t gone over them and probably never will unless forced to. The truth of his past is that his surrogate sister from that story book orphanage was taken back to her original foster father which so happened to be his biological father. Such a secret is yet to be revealed to Squall. The details of his past are blurry and even his real father probably has no idea Squall even existed due to some complicated matters.

The world he lives in now is one where he only takes care of himself, has few friends in which he occasionally show the caring side he has to them and keeping the majority of his relationships minimal. His life is a university student working on his own and trying to make something of him although he wouldn’t mind much fading into the background. It’s the people around him and his rival that will probably have a bigger effect on him, if the time ever comes for him to change or just find out what the truth is.

Biography: Not much is known of Vincent in regards to his past, as he never tends to speak of it to just anyway keeping much of his woes to himself and hiding them from the world shrouded in the dark world he was said to have created for himself. The son of a scientist, and the head of the research lab to which discovered the gene of dreadful powerful beast, the essences of what his future would entail. Vincent a young and skillful boy recognized by the Twilight city law organization, an army of men and woman alike special ops to the company to which employed them. Taught the ways of many different types of fire arms as the underground ops had been known for, taking a specific liking to the 3 barrel hand gun he came to refer to as, Cerberus.

It had been around this time, Vincent had found a new interest that sparked a flare deep within his soul, the love for a loyal assistant to his father Grimoire Valentine. The name captivated his attention like nothing he had ever felt, the deep color of her eyes capable of trapping a man's soul with one glance, to enchant thoughts with the soothing sound of her sweet voice, the intelligent conversation of a woman he had thoroughly enjoyed not to care if the words spoken was to his understanding but feeling and seeing the passion to which she had held for her work was motivating. Yes, Vincent Valentine had fallen in love. But short lived watching her failing interest in the young man to fall for another right before his eyes was far more than he could bare, and act of passionate anger perhaps? But it had cost his life for the better part of thirty years, Frozen in time and space until the law enforcement laboratories could find a way to sustained the viscous gene the young lady of his past injected into his bloodstream to save his life, the essence of his fathers work lived through his son. The gene leaving Vincent almost ageless from the day he had been frozen taking on the appearance of a rather dark, regular looking 27 year old man on the outside, on the inside the elixir make up of his blood now enhanced in all aspects of agility, speed and stamina.

Upon awaking to a new world the old left behind in the past, filled with many things that left Vincent feeling less the comfortable. The daylight hours bothersome to his subconscious, especially after being frozen for so long. the dark was a comfort and a calming dwelling ad provided shelter. The shadows of the night had become his most trusted alliance, using it's thick blanket to aid in his work until the midnight hours had grown into morning. Vincent had also taken on a second occupation to shroud his dark, hidden double life he had led with the special secret enforcements. A teacher for the younger generation, expanding his knowledge to others of Gothic/Medieval History.

Player Information:
Name: Iris
Age: 18
Personal Journal: [info]fruitsbaby
AIM: peach girl 089
Email: eclipsico@gmail.com
Time Zone: Pacific

Character Information:
Fandom: Final Fantasy VII
Name: Yuffie Kisaragi
Character Model: Aya Ueto, pictured here.
Age: 18
Current Residence: A small two-bedroom apartment in China Town, currently looking for a room mate. ♥
Occupation: Student at Balamb University, and part-time secretary at THE PARTHENON.

Personality: Yuffie is a spunky, hyperactive teenager who likes to say exactly what's on her mind--which, most of the time, borders on just plain weird. To Yuffie, no subject is too strange to not bring up, and it's in her nature to chatter off to most people as if they'd known each other for ages. It's a trait people either adore or hate with a deep passion, and this one trait seems to define Yuffie the most.

Though selfish and greedy (she's been practicing the five-finger discount since she was a freshman in high school), Yuffie values her her loved ones above anything, including her father, Godo. She would, without a doubt, risk her life to save any one of them; the question is, how many people does Yuffie truly love to that degree? Unfortunately for Yuffie, she's the type to love easily, irregardless of what she tries to do, but her manner of showing it is through hitting, teasing, and stealing items of varying value from her loved ones (usually she'll return it--if she's caught).

As with most teenagers, she showcases a rebellious streak which involves doing exactly what she shouldn't be doing, getting into scrapes more often than not and picking fights with people. She hates being told what to do, being underestimated, and being treated like a girl, nonetheless a teenage girl.

She's cocky and overconfident in her own abilities, whether it's a game of checkers, a test, or an arm-wrestling match. It's very unlikely for Yuffie to concede to someone being better than her, even if they beat her into a pulp. She's just more likely to run her mouth off, and then propose a rematch. Her pride is immensely huge.

In addition to this cocktail of personality traits, Yuffie can be a little too affectionate with people, and she isn't the type to wait for someone to make the first move romance-wise. She has the grace and delicacy of a hippopotamous on land when it comes to the area of tender emotions, and most of the time she tends to get angrier with that person quicker than usual, perhaps a tad more competitive. This is only because she's fighting down her feelings.

Biography: Some people would think coming from a family with a load of money and a good name would be good stuff. The Kisaragi family had been active in the politics of Twilight City, a few family members becoming a part of the city council, mayor, city manager, police chief... All in all, quite the respectable family. The majority of the family was known to be rather controlled, polite, but hopelessly boring and bland, like a piece of toast. They esteemed self-control, honor, and keeping your cool.

Traits, unfortunately, that Yuffie Kisaragi would never inherit. When Godo married his wife Aya one fine spring evening, the family knew that this would be the match to end all matches. Aya was calm, pretty, and exactly the sort of woman who deserved to be married into the Kisaragi family. She was a bit sickly, always had been, but her gentle nature earned the respect of her new family, and she was welcomed quite warmly--until Yuffie was born.

Yuffie was not cool and aloof. Yuffie was not gentle.

Yuffie was loud, boisterous, rough, adventurous, and blatantly ignorant of any and all authority. Any attempts to curb her behavior earned a bite on the hand and Yuffie running away, as fast and slippery as a fish. It seemed the only person who managed to control her was Aya (Godo had never been particularly close with his daughter; he was much too busy with his job), and yet, the family quickly chose Aya to hold the blame for her daughter's behavior. "Why don't you raise her correctly?" they scolded. "You're not a good wife after all."

Aya took the words in stride, smiled, and lovingly raised Yuffie (because she didn't want Yuffie to be empty and cold and soft like her; she wanted Yuffie to have emotions, to love and laugh and live) until the day she died. After that, Yuffie immediately became uncontrollable. She was thirteen, just at the apex of that age when your behavior fully forms, and the Kisaragi family clamped harder on her than ever, trying to straighten her out.

But it was much, much too late.

Yuffie used all opportunities to rebel against them, stealing and causing a general ruckus in every place she was at. When a brief scandal (that didn't even involve her, gawd) brought the Kisaragi family down on the social ladder, Yuffie reminded them she had warned against accepting endorsement from the drug lord, being the seedy child she was, but who ever paid attention to her? And yet, even for all her behavior, Yuffie looked for subversive ways to bring honor back to her family.

After all, none of them had graduated from an esteemed university like Balamb. And suddenly, that became a goal: to be the first super-awesome-educated girl in the family. When she wasn't stealing for kicks, pulling pranks, or working at her part-time job at the Parthenon (she hated answering phone calls, but she did it for the cash), Yuffie was studying her little ass off to become a world-famous person-thing-with-an-awesome-job, shrug off that reputation of accepting illegal bribes, and generally prove to the Kisaragi family she was way better than they gave her credit for.

And then she got into Balamb (majoring in Conservation Biology, because if Yuffie didn't save the seals, who would?), and suddenly, it seemed like the Kisaragi family had a fighting chance for honor again. After all, that's what they had taught her, right?

Zidane Page 01
[info]lone_child
2008-02-05 03:04 am UTC (link)
Character Information:
Fandom: Final Fantasy XI
Name: Zidane Tribal
Character Model: Charlie Hunnam or Se7en (when he’s blondish brownish hair) Give me time to think XD
Age: 20
Current Residence: Little Niblehiem
Occupation: Master Thief Student (Second Year)

Personality:
With a winning smile, boyish good looks, and a magical charm, Zidane is no doubt what you would call, a ladies’ man. He can’t help it—it’s just in his nature—sure he loves the attention, but he isn’t narcissistic. Not entirely anyway. But with his looks and talent, you’re bound to anyway.

He’s reckless, which gets him into trouble some times, but he’s been like that for most of his life. Some times, he’s a little too confident too and that also gets him into some trouble.

Despite that, he is open with his feelings and genuinely friendly. To his friends, he is extremely loyal. He would not take even a second to defend or help them when they are in trouble. In addition, he’s optimistic. He’s there to cheer others up when they’re down and give them confidence when there is doubt.
Biography:
His life was not entirely like one of those fantasy stories with a fairy tale ending. At least not entirely. He was an unwanted child, jumping from one foster home to another. These people didn’t really care though. It got to the point that he just had enough. He was only ten at the time.

And so he ran away.

The streets became his home; his only warmth was inside random wet cardboard boxes or under cold newspaper. The only way he survived was pick pocketing money from people walking by or stealing food.

And that was his life. He went from one place to another stealing and pick-pocketing, which was his only useful skill (other than his speed). It wasn’t like someone was going to hire some dirty kid from the streets to work for them.

Everything was fine until he stole from the wrong guy.

The old man was slow, but made up with with his incredible powerful throw and not to mention a punch that Zidane didn’t expect. But what was the most surprising of all though after he got the shit beat out of him? The old man invited him into his home and strangely, he was genuine about it. Zidane could tell.

This man, Baku, the man who beat the shit out of him…he became a friend and most importantly, a father. He was soon surrounded with people who were her could connect to, people he would call his brothers and sisters. It felt foreign to him…family that is. But it was certainly a welcoming change.

With much “convincing” and “tough love” from his Pops, he attended school, though he really only pulled his grades to a passing level just so he didn’t get any beatings and lectures from his old man. He was never the studious one. Either way, he managed to graduate, but unfortunately education wasn’t over for him and he begrudgingly went on to further his education at Balamb University.

But it wasn’t like he turned over a new leaf entirely.

Writing Sample:
He suddenly paused, his brows raised slightly upwards. He took a large gulp and let out a light nervous chuckle as he stood there frozen in the doorway. This…this couldn’t be. How was it that all four of them were here? At the same time? They were looking at him with that look in their eyes and nothing that gave him any reassurance.

“Oh~ hey Zidane!” The girl greeted, her voice perky and cheerful as she smiled at him with those pink lives covered in sweet sparkly strawberry lip gloss. Oh, he remembered how it tasted three weeks ago. Sweet and fruity. Leena Ray. Freshman. Eighteen years old. Blonde. She had the finest legs he has ever seen.

“Long time no see, Zidane~” The girl next to her piped, waving at him. Her smile was sly. He didn’t like. That was just like her. Xiao Mei Zhang. A name he could never pronounced correctly. Senior. She was exotic. Dangerous. A vixen. As he remembered ever so clearly she was a wild one. She talked dirty to him in Chinese. It was hot. Even if he had no clue what she was saying. It was dirty though, that much he knew. Really dirty.

“I haven’t seen you in a long time, Zidane,” The brunette said, raising an eyebrow. Poison was in her voice, but her face remained pleasant. But the anger was bound to pop. Aislinn McCloud. Sophomore. One word to describe her. Tongue.

“We were just,” Slight pause, “talking about you,” The red head added last, her voice careful with each word. Kaycee Wilder. Junior. Best ass in the Junior class and best ass it was. He went out with her one the same time he did with Xiao Mei.

Fuck.

“Oh…uh...really girls?” he asked as sweat started to form on his forehead. He didn’t want to know what they were talking about him. But he had fairly good idea.

“Yo bro! You finally made it!” a low voice called out and placed a hand on his shoulders. He turned his head to see the ugly mug of his brother, Cinna. “See ya met the girls. I invited them to the party! Mentioned your name and apparently they said you knew them.”

Ugh, what fucking idiot.

“Excuse me girls! I—uh—gotta go. So--uh, bye!” he smiled as best he could before he ran the hell out of there before they got their claws on him.

Other Notes:
He has a natural flexibility. His talents are stealing, climbing trees and charming the ladies. He's also heavily involved in theater because of Baku for obvious reasons.

Age: Nineteen.

Email: rubyshards@yahoo.com or like.a.dead.star@hotmail.com
Time Zone: EST

Character Information:
Fandom: Final Fantasy VIII
Name: Rinoa Heartilly
Character Model: Utada Hikaru
Age: Nineteen
Current Residence: Rabanstre Apartments (One-room)
Occupation: Part-time waitress at the Tiki Room; full-time student at Balamb University (first year, nursing)

Personality:
Rinoa is more than your average girly-girl, regardless of her sweet appearance – she’s strong-willed, determined, and a bit of a troublemaker. Rebellious against her father, she even uses her mother’s surname, completely distancing herself from him, in her eyes. Unwilling to be “daddy’s little girl,” she views herself as independent, and works while in college, rather than relying solely on her father’s allowance, to enforce this. Strong-willed though she is, she can become easily frustrated when things don’t work out how she has planned, and she has a tendency to act a bit childish as a result. She’s emotional, energetic, and very loyal to her friends (although she’s been known to give them a good talking-to when need be).

Biography:
Born into the rich Calloway family, Rinoa has lived most of her live in what many would consider luxury. Her father, an ex-commander of the military, provided her and her mother, Julia, a famous singer at the Costa del Sol diner, with whatever they would desire.

She spent most of her time with her mother – learning how to play piano and sing, hearing her mother sing and talk of love lost and all of the kinds of people she had met at her job. Julia raised her daughter on romance and fantasy, and a sort of childish obsession grew out of this. Her favorite time became the bedtime stories her mother would read to her, elaborate tales of knights and princesses, and witches and heroes. Her mother believed in enforcing creativity, after all, and that’s exactly what she did.
When she was eight years old, however, tragedy struck her family: her mother passed away in a car accident, and Rinoa was left to live with only her father as company. Hardened from war, Calloway viewed raising children in a stern sense: the strict, “back before dinner,” “no sleepovers during the weekdays” views resulted in Rinoa growing up a bit rebellious, eager to break away from her father’s wishes and be her own type of person. She enjoyed going to parties while she was in high school, and shopping with her friends: your everyday activities for a teenage girl, much to her father’s dismay.

Rinoa still keeps this mindset today. Living on her own in a small, one bedroom apartment, she works and goes to school to try to live dependently. Regardless, her father pays for her education and rent, wishing only the best for his daughter. She chooses to ignore this, however, and only contacts him when absolutely necessary, often for holidays or business banquets (many of which she skips).

As for her free time, Rinoa works and goes to class, taking piano lessons on the side, determined to carry on her mother’s lessons that were cut short in her early childhood. She wants to become a nurse when she graduates from college, her wish to help people driving her on, yet she has desires of her own to live in the outskirts, to love unconditionally, and to have the quiet life she never had. She lives her life for the moment, emotional and full of life. She lives with her dog, Angelo.

Character Information:
Fandom: Final Fantasy 10
Name: Tidus Blitz
Character Model: Alex pettyfer
Age: 20
Current Residence: RABANASTRE Apartment Complex
Occupation: 2nd year university student, captain of the soccer team.

Personality: Upbeat, cheerful until the mention of his old man, then his mood changes on the defence. He is confidant which can come off as the typical arrogant rich kid, but inside he does have a kind heart and the need to do what is right and beneficial to all. If not, his determined personality will drive forward in finding the positive in every situation.

Biography: Despite the gloomy childhood Tidus had when growing up in the care of his neglecting emotionally torn mother, starved for attention from the over pompous Soccer star father, he had grown to be a successful young man following in the footsteps of a man he had only wished to exceed and surpass. Where he has been known to be rather conceited at times learned from his father no doubt he is able to keep his head held high and show kindness and enthusiasm to those around him.

At the ripe age of six, Tidus had found himself in a world of pain, confusion and personal turmoil with the unexplained death of his attention deprived mother and the sudden disappearance of Jecht. It was then he had been forcefully tossed into the local orphanage with the wealth left behind by the missing Soccer star. Tidus blaming his old man for the depression and death that plagued his mothers emotions, causing her to neglect her only son even farther, for that was when the you lad really started to feel that burning swell of hate for the man he once father. Time passed on, and Tidus grew to be a very strong willed and successful young man, excelling in enduring sport as his father had before him, maintaining average to slightly above average marks during his rise though the school system. His exceptional skill had marked him for scouts from all over, finally earning him a hefty scholarship to Balamb University to where he resides and studies.

Tidus finding a harsh new reality in the world of University, discovering all that was prepared in high school had not helped him academically in the higher levels. Where he is not dense by any means, he just finds things absorb slower and the need to take extra time to study was in order. Leaving the young man without work, living off the steady expense left behind to concentrate more on what needs to be done in the class room. Having breezed through because of his skill in athletics Tidus had had no need to work as hard as he does now during his years past and to come at Balamb university. maybe taking some extra time to relax, parties and such as every university students needs time to unwind and be with people his age.

Writing Sample:

"HA! So how does the grass taste this early in the morning?" Tidus's ears flickered at the foggy sound of another male hovering over him, a light snarl passed his lips only to get the full bitter flavor of the blades and mud to which he had been face down in.

"You know, if this was your dad this wouldn't have happened." Came another voice, this one more crystal clear and more alert at the mention of his old man. Man it pissed him off to the boiling point of the hot spots of the sun to even hear the mention of that man's name. But no matter where or when he would be in this life, Jecht was Jecht and people had known him well in his time of glory and reign on top of the athletic world.

"I almost had it." He spoke in a higher pitched, muffled voice than that of the others starting to gather around him. Yes, his attempt after attempt at the 'amazing Jecht shot mark II' had failed yet again what a gay name, and again he found himself eating a mouth full of field after landing with a thud.

"Yeah right Blitz, that's why you're tits up again..."

Tidus pushed himself to sand, with the aid of someone close by tugging the shorter blonde by the arm to his feet. Taking a moment he dusted the loose green blades and the stained dirt from his uniform, already dirty from the mornings Soccer practice. Another day watching the sun come up over the high walls of the school, morning practices were always the best for an active soul he thought, and to get a better sense of how the rest of the day would pan out. Today was no different than any other, every time trying and every time getting slightly better. Not just yet, but soon he will earn the rights to surpass that arrogant bastard.

"Anyway, we will see you in class tonight, hah..." A yell to the already departing members, giving a slight wave over the shoulder to the young man. An inward groan at the thought of that class. It was true it only had been an elective, but still it was creepy and the professor was even more so. He definably looked like some kind of medieval science experiment gone horribly wrong, with those beady blank expressionless blood red eyes like lasers ready to burn a hole right through him, pale like a damn corps and massively tall for a man Tidus guess to be in his late 20's. Shuddering violently over exaggerated at the quick flash of Professor Valentine and his insanely mysterious hidden agenda tucked away in that dark world of his...

"He's probably planning to eat my soul. GOD!"

Other Notes: probably the same as last time. =/

[Ayumi Hamasaki]
Age: 19
Current Residence: Lemures Apartment Complex
Occupation: Student at Balamb University, but
frequents the volunteer scene.

Personality:
Lighthearted and free-spirited, this willful young lady has
somehow managed to stay optimistic through and through ...
despite the trials of her early childhood. She is still,
however, a bit easy to push around, especially when it comes
to helping those in need.

In stark contrast to her petite size and agreeable
disposition, Yuna does not scare easily and will do anything
and everything to protect all that she treasures.
Outwardly, she also seems bizarrely unphased by the
politics, drama, and complication of the social structure of
a normal student's life.

Of course, one musn't confuse her unintentional separation
from the populace of youths her age with rebellion or
misplacement. Internally, she longs for the companionship
that had been tragically robbed from her at such an early
age ... as well as the comradery that she witnesses every
day at the University.

Yuna Application - II
[info]watermelon
2008-02-13 03:40 am UTC (link)

Biography:
Yuna's childhood began as a happy one -- a picturesque
little house somewhere amongst the maze that is the suburban
settlement of Winhill, inhabited, predictably, by a
nurturing mother and father. As an only child, she never
went without in the first ten years of her life.

Her father, a celebrated hero among the Firefighting
community, retired from the force when she was born so that
he could be around for the child's upbringing, and the two
of them automatically clicked. There was an unconditional
love for her mother as well, to be sure, but Yuna idolized
her father and often marveled as he told his tales of
heroics at her bedside every night.

Unfortunately ... tragedy struck on the night of her tenth
birthday. It was a cold and twisted irony that the billowing
flames that the object of her adoration and idolization
fought in his prime would ultimately lead to the death of
both of her parents. Yuna's father worked furiously to get
both she and her mother -- who passed on later from injuries
incurred and smoke inhalation -- out of their devastated
home.

This was the day that Yuna grew up.

By the time all of the beaurocracy and paperwork had been
squared away and she found her way into the open, waiting
arms of Kramer Orphanage, the frightened little girl had
transformed into a tragically lovely young lady exuding
tranquility and acceptance. Here, many of the other children
found a silent respect for the quiet brunette that said
little but observed much ... although few were brave enough
to attempt friendship.

All of this changed after she turned sixteen - when a
wealthy young couple brandishing the ShinRa logo breezed
into the orphanage and plucked Yuna from its throes. From
that age on she was confined to their lavish summer home in
Sherwood, seeing only brief glances of her busy adoptive
parents as her own days filled up with private tutoring ...
as well as advanced private voice lessons on the weekends at
Tantalus Theater. Taking things in stride, Yuna addressed
this new lifestyle with gracious acceptance and, most
importantly, patience. Finally, she was able to break free
of her sheltered home life when she was accepted into Balamb
University. Currently, at her new family's insistence, she
has her own luxury apartment in Lemures Apartment Complex -
sparsely but tastefully decorated. Thanks to her relation to
ShinRa, she has a wealth of cutting edge technology at her
disposal - all of which were politely turned away, save for
a single spherical wireless handheld device that had perked
her interest. It's used for online communication and class
projects, but not much else.

To fill up the wide, empty gaps in her schedule, she often
finds herself volunteering at Saint Ajora Hospital as well
as the very orphanage she emerged from three years ago.

Character Information:
Fandom: Final Fantasy IX
Name: Garnet Alexandros aka Dagger
Character Model: Anne Hathaway
Age: 18
Current Residence: Narshe Zozo Slums
Occupation: Runaway--whatever odd jobs she can get.

Personality: Garnet at first comes across as very sweet and soft-spoken, polite and well-mannered--which she can be. She was bred and raised to be a lady, after all, but she can also be very stubborn and willful. Far from being a mindless lady of substance she is intelligent and willing to risk her own life and well being for something she wants. Life as a runaway has strengthened, tested and hardened her somewhat, but she still remains at heart the good-hearted, sheltered girl. This often shows the most in her manner of speaking, which is completely without contractions, at least at the moment. Hiding from her mother and her employees has made Garnet incredibly wary despite her usual giving nature. Surprisingly, she remembers nothing of her childhood before she was six save for a lullaby which makes her act a little strangely with children. She is also very intelligent, which can cause her to be condescending or intimidating without really intending it, and oddly innocent at others. She is not perfect, far from it, and is not above using her intelligence in cunning or manipulative ways, such as drugging her bodyguard to run away and assuming another name.

Biography:


Unknown to her, Garnet has forgotten a lot of her early life. She was born Sarah, the daughter of a poor healer. The pair were mugged, and managed to escape to a private hospital in the midst of a storm. Sarah's mother died from exposure but the warmth of her body kept the child alive, where she was discovered by the personal physician of the powerful Alexandros family who were involved in reasearch development and banking. In some odd coincidence, the traumatized child looked almost identical to the daughter of Stavros and Brahne Alexandros who had died earlier that week, save for a birthmark, which the doctor soon surgically removed. The physician knew the wealthy pair had been distraught over the loss of their daughter and an heir for the fortune and banking empire they had built. Doctor Tot presented the girl to the pair, and after a long discussion it was decided that the death of Garnet would not be publicised, and instead Sarah would assume her identity.

2008-02-13 05:37 pm UTC (link)

Over time, Sarah, now Garnet, suppressed all the traumatic memories and everything else of her former life, save for the lullaby her mother used to sing her. She knows no other life then what she has had since becoming Garnet. Stavros and Brahne were loving to each other and incredibly protective of Garnet. She was homeschooled by the finest tutord rather than risk germs or corruption from other children, and given everything money could buy. She excelled in literature and drama, quoting Shakespeare from the age of nine, and everyone loved her.

Then tragedy struck, and things began to change. Stavros was killed and amid the mourning for her father, Garnet began to notice a change in her mother. Her parents had always loved each other more than anything, and without her husband, Brahne began to change, becoming more irritible, snappish, and power hungry than she ever had before. A mysterious man would come around, urging the distraught woman on, and eventually she turned Neglectful of Garnet. Worried for her mother, the girl tried to get her tutors and bodyguards to listen to her, but they thought she was the one going mad with grief.


So, she planned. She squirreled away portions of her allowance and stole clothes from the maids. On the night of her eighteenth birthday, Garnet ran away after slipping her bodyguard a Mickey and learning how to get away from the security system. Once out, in fairly nondescript clothes, save for a medallion give her by her father, which was secreted away and a new name--Dagger, she went to the slums for a place to live and hide. Scared of the amount of people at first and how roough they seemed she learned quickly about life on the streets and barely manages to keep a small place in the slums, her money quickly running out.

Writing Sample:

Garnet felt a little bad for escaping the mansion. It was the only home she knew. And poor Steiner, he would blame himself for her disappearance, despite the fact that she had drugged him. Still, she didn't see that she had a choice. Her mother was growing mad and Garnet had to get out. The dress she had stolen from the maid was a little big, but plain enough, and she tried to keep her wonder down as she slunk into the large crowd. She had never seen so many people. She stopped at the plainest spot she could find, and a toothless woman offered her a crust of bread, which she took gratefully, before finding a grungy looking shack that hd a home-letttered sign'for rent' in the window.

Half an hour later, Garnet felt a bit like Juliet in the mauseleum waiting to be saved. Huddled on the floor beneath a threadbare jacket nicked from one of her mother's guards, she quoted softly. "Happy dagger, this is thy sheath," and then paused. She couldn't be Garnet anymore, people would march her right back to the Alexandros mansion. She had to be sharp, hared, different. "Dagger." She sakid softly, looking at her reflection in the window. "Now you're Dagger."

Other Notes: I went a little crazy. I blame replaying the game.

Age: Twenty-Two
Current Residence: Narshe Zozo Slums
Occupation: The clerk at the Florist shop, the one who seems more interested in talking to the plants then her customers. Aeris also works as a gardener for the local parks, and can sometimes be seen working late at night, coaxing weakened blossoms into beautiful things.

Personality: Sweet-natured, shy and quiet, Aeris has floated through life without many cares. As long as she has the cool earth to dig in, and flowers to smell, she's happy. A very hard-worker, Aeris finds it easy to focus on tending her gardens, tuning out the world around her. This means that she has next to no friends, but she's unconcerned. Beyond the others at the flowers shop, and a mother who sends her letters from far away, she talks to very few. She can go for days without human contact, and that suits her just fine. As long as the sun is shining, so is she.

Biography: Aeris grew up in Powhatan with her mother, a wonderful womam who taught her everything she knew of gardening. Aeris took to the earth like a fish to water, and she was happy to spend hours under the sun, tending her little patch of ground, and chattering away to her flowers and vegetables.

As Aeris grew up, her mother became concerned that her daughter's life was far too sheltered. Having an interest in plants was one thing, but spending your time doing nothing else was quite another. They had lived in such a quiet area, there were no other children for Aeris to play with. Sometimes, her mother felt that the flowers Aeris loved so dearly were nothing more than a replacement for the true friends she'd never had.

Wanting her daugher to have a fuller life, Aeris' mother decided that it would be best if she sent her to Twilight City for schooling. As soon as Aeris turned nineteen, she put her plan into action. It nearly broke poor Aeris' heart to say goodbye to the saplings and the blooms she knew so well, but her mother was not to be budged. Aeris needed to grow up among people, not plants.

Sadly, her mother's wishes were not to be granted the way she had hoped. While Aeris did come to enjoy the city, she never clicked with the others around her. Unable to afford anything but the slums, Aeris went to school on and off, eventually leaving for good when she was offered more work from the florist, as well as the position of assistant gardener for Neverland Park.

Now she walks through the streets, her head held high, feeling as if she's on top of the world. Perhaps if she knew what she was missing, things might be different...

Fandom: Final Fantasy IX
Name: Ruby Vilotte
Character Model:
Age: 18
Current Residence: Little Nibelheim

Occupation: Co-runner of A Doll's House, an alternative fashion boutique in Gold Saucer Shopping Mall

Personality: Getting on the wrong side of the temperamental Ruby or catching her in one of her bad moods can be a migraine-inducing circumstance. Ruby is unbearable on her bad days - her bossiness and tendency to nit-pick become honed to an extreme. She can also be very demanding, fickle and childish; the drama-mama doesn't take kindly to criticism and can be deeply affected when her pride is hurt.


Faults aside, Ruby does have a number of plus points to her character. She is a streetsmart social butterfly with a straightfoward demeanour and knowledge of how to deal with different kinds of people (this includes arm-twisting, of course), and she is very capable of taking care of herself. Ruby can be amiable, kind on occasion and very supportive, particularly towards people that she genuinely cares about. Her determinedness (some say obstinacy) means that she is a great person to have on your side and for your cause.


Although Ruby is highly materialistic and primarily preoccupied with fame and wealth, she is not necessarily a shallow or superficial individual. There is also little room for hatred or bitterness in her heart. She more or less has her heart in the right place, but must first become aware of how important her 'family' is to her.

Biography: Ruby's earliest memories were of her days spent at Kramer Orphanage. She was there until age seven, functioning as an older-sister of sorts to the kids and their best ringleader and entertainer. The girl was dramatic and high-spirited from a young age, and naturally the children tended to cluster around her. Happy as she was in those days, Kramer Orphanage was too tiny for the ambitious young girl. She was always waiting to leave, waiting for something... more.


Ruby's wish was granted at ten, when she was finally adopted. But the dream was quickly shattered very shortly after she entered her new family. Her new parents never satisfied her expectations of a father and mother, and neither did she ever satisfy her foster parents' expectations of a daughter. Ruby was constantly neglected at home, and the house became a prison for the free-spirited girl. She had assumed her parents to be rich, but they never showered her with gifts as she had hoped they would. She threw tantrums at a devilish rate, and once news of her regular truancy from school and falling into not-so-good company reached her parents' ears, it became clear that Ruby was to be sent back to the orphanage.

Ruby was devastated by the news. Of couse she had in part earned this, but weren't parents supposed to never to give up on their children no matter what? And she didn't want to go back to the orphanage either - how could she ever live down that humiliation? The result of this was that Ruby fled from her house before the date of her re-arrival at her 'old home'. She was only thirteen then. The next few months were spent running around with a bunch of street urchins who opened Ruby's eyes to the tough ways of the world and all its vices. Thankfully, Ruby sailed past this tumultous period on Lady Fortune's wings; she made it without a scratch, and the only vices she did pick up in the end were compulsive gambling (a hobby which preoccupies Ruby to this day).

Stephanie Romanov
http://community.livejournal.com/hollow_art/237474.html#cutid1
Age: Mid to late 30's. Do you wanna ask her? 'Cause I don't. 8D
Current Residence: She roams, but is thought to reside in or near the Alexandros Estate.
Occupation: Former personal bodyguard of Stravos Alexandros; Now serves directly under Brahne.

Personality: The only thing that outweighs her reputed icy and merciless disposition is her unshakable loyalty to the Alexandros family. Her enemies fear her; her subordinates respect her. Bernadette is quick-witted, but rather bossy ... and very proud. Not surprisingly, she isn't really the romantic type in the least - She is, as they often say, married to her job, after all. While her core intentions are just, her faithfulness to her superiors is strong to a fault and she follows whatever orders she is dealt without second thoughts -- and no task is out of the question. No task so far, that is...
She's also a relatively even-tempered young lady, working quite smoothly under pressure, and is difficult to upset. A fast and easy way to get on her bad side, however, is to call her by her birthname -- which is known by few enough people that it doesn't happen often anyway. She had to work hard to earn her name as an agent, and to address her as anything else is absolutely insulting.

Biography:
Defend. Fight.
Those were the two constants in her life... and, not inappropriately, they were the two things she excelled in. Her parents had both served under the powerful Alexandros family, as did their parents ... as did theirs, so it was said. Being an only child, she was expected to do the same, but no one could have forseen how easily she had taken to the practice of espionage: just as easily as a fish takes to water. Of course, she was none the wiser to her pre-determined course of employment throughout her youthful years. Nevertheless, she was taught all the mannerisms and intricacies of being a well-mannered young lady, as anyone close to an affluent family ought to be, though it should be said that her own family was not that wealthy.
.
Her strong sense of justice and, more importantly, upholding it, was recognizable even as a child. No bully; no teasing, snot-nosed kid was safe from sweet-faced little Bernadette's righteous, violent wrath. The same held true for various teachers throughout early grade school that she hadn't taken much of a liking to, who would often find unpleasant surprises at the bottom of their coffee cups, inside their previously locked desk drawers, and on one particularly nasty occasion, waiting for them inside of their own vehicles.
'They are simply unfit, mommy.'

Once she was old enough to understand professional competition, nobody stood a chance. A fluent and cunning leader, she was at the top of her class, the captain of the ladies' soccer team, and the scourge of the Dojo where her parents had discreetly enrolled her in middle school.

High school was no different.
It was at about this time that she went a little wild with all of her self-obtained glory and finally, she bit off more than she could chew.
No one really knows how it happened ... or why it happened. Some say that she witnessed two classmate being mugged and sought to defend them, until a knife was pulled. Others swear that it was her very own martial arts instructor, finally hearing enough of her arrogant smart-mouth. Whatever the case may have been, in her third year of high school, Bernadette was admitted to the Saint Ajora Hospital, severely beaten. When she walked out, she was blind in her left eye.

Things changed for her after that. Friends were met with a cold shoulder. All of her sports and extra-cirricular activities were forgotten about ... save for her work at the Dojo. Nothing mattered more to the tattered teenager than to get stronger. To fight. Shortly thereafter, her parents pulled her from school for reasons undisclosed.
It can be assumed that more specified training took place in the timegap between then and her official employment records for Alexandros Banking -- or more specifically for the president of the company, Mr. Stravos.
It is said that the two were friends as well as business associates, and much of the bank's inner workings and the man's woes and musings were confided in her, though she never offered any advice or input of her own out of respect. Such was the way of things until the man's death, whereupon she was sent to serve directly under Brahne. A large part of the security force was placed under her control - the rest shared by a certain loud-mouth bodyguard that went by the name of Steiner.

Blank Part Eins

Player Information:
Name: Miko
Age: Twenty

Time Zone: CST

Character Information:
Fandom: Final Fantasy IX
Name: Blank
Character Model: Seth Green was WAY too awesome of a suggestion. So, yes, him.
Age: Twenty
Current Residence: Little Nibelheim; Prima Vista
Occupation: Second Year University

Personality:

Blank is a budding young man meaning he has interests in all those really important things—booze, theater, and thievery. Because that’s totally normal. Mischievousness is the name of the game here, with quick smiles and quicker hands summing up the details. Blank considers himself to have a fast, dry sense of humor that, on its better days, could even be charming. But he is not always so talkative, preferring action to speech and just letting other people he trusts take over for him in the conversation-making field.

He enjoys a lax, mostly unguided, lifestyle where the only thing you answer to is Baku’s hand when it gets you upside the head for trashing his bedroom again. Oh, and then Baku’s foot when he realizes you’ve trashed his bedroom in order to steal his unmentionables and make a giant kite to fly over the household. But mostly it’s all cool, with a sort of thieves’ honor ruling the day. There are these certain rules that Blank will stand by in order to keep things from going completely upside-down. You just don’t cross certain lines, after all—like ruining another man’s date or going vegetarian.

Used to once having no one and nothing to depend on, Blank has since converted into believing in the strength of his new family. It doesn’t matter in the slightest that they aren’t connected by true blood because nothing gets closer than this. Blank is loyal to his friends, who he considers his family, and he’d pretty much do anything for them when it came down to it. All of the caution and level-headedness in the world can’t stop the fist that’s standing up for your brother.

But Blank also knows when it’s better to back down. He has a growing sense of responsibility that occasionally counters his friends’ more carefree personalities and serves to separate him from them once in a while. This doesn’t mean that he lacks any confidence when the times comes—he simply has a good sense of when he can win and when he should put his legs to good use. Even more so, he wants to make sure that people he likes keep their heads out of trouble. He’s a bit of a pessimist at the end of the day, especially in comparison to those unnaturally cheery balls of sunshine like Zidane. He uses sarcasm to cover the worry he often feels when Zidane eagerly decides to do something Blank considers foolhardy. He gets sour and sulky when upset, not afraid to call someone out when he thinks they’re doing wrong but also unwilling to admit when he’s done something wrong, himself, or even get past a grudge when the better thing would be to not drag things out longer.

Blank is pretty blunt. He knows flowery words, after all he practices in the art of them, but he prefers not to coat what he means to say in the real world and likes it when people use the same courtesy with him. Deceivers, betrayers, and that entire sort should he swept into the corner alongside pompous asses and hoarders of vast treasures. In fact, it’s better just to unburden these people by removing all things of value from their possession or path. There’s no need to cause unnecessary temptation, after all.

His biggest weakness is… bugs. He hates bugs, the awful jumpy skittery gross things that they are. They are the pit of evil and must never be seen lest that evil cause havoc upon the world and, more importantly, Blank himself. This causes some pressure to keep at least his private spaces cleaner than most young male standards. The guys are aware of this intense hatred and, for the most part, have gotten into the role of respecting it rather then exploiting it. It’s not like Blank doesn’t volunteer for plenty of other things that prove his courage.

Blank Part Zwei

Biography:

Babies are a joy and a blessing and all that, right? Common belief, yes? Well, someone should have given that memo to this guy’s parents before they gave him up, instead. With all the bustle and lost paperwork and exhausted foster workers, it isn’t entirely known where the actual alias of Blank came about but it stuck with him and is pretty much accepted as his name from the unminding citizens of Twilight City, and his new keepers. Not that they saw a whole lot of him in the beginning; despite being set up in a temporary home, Blank spent most of his time out of the house and wherever he pleased.

The adults in charge attempted to get him into line but the foster home was busy, they had a lot of kids to worry about, so, eventually… Blank just didn’t live there anymore. He stopped coming back and they stopped caring. In this way, Blank was pretty sure that everyone would give up on him eventually so he didn’t seek out this kind of comfort but worked on taking care of himself, learning the streets, and employing what tactics were necessary—as long as no one was hurt in the end, just their bank account.

During this time, Blank ran alongside a fellow street-kid named Marcus and the two spent occasional lunch hours together, throwing sunflower seeds at businessmen. One day, Marcus came back in slightly better shape than usual professing that he’d been taken in by an odd but generous man named Baku. He told Blank he should come along to meet him but Blank was quite content to stay on his own, thanks.

(I are leaving this part as a space to add any details the big ugly one Baku might want to discuss)

After some persuasion – and more force – Blank was convinced to join Baku’s growing fold. And then after some more time, he even came to like it. As it turns out, when you let yourself open up to the idea, it can be… nice to have a place to call home. Things continued from there, really rounding out when a young Zidane joined their rowdy ranks, and it was pretty lazy-going. We’re not sure how it happened, but Blank remained in school all up to University where he is now. It’s less that he isn’t intelligent and more that… he’s blown up enough stuff to very nearly be expelled, or so you’d think.

He’s into the theater activities and biochemistry in a big way. It isn’t always safe to allow him near potentially explosive chemicals when his buddies are around, too, but alone he makes a rather good study of it. He likes to focus on medicinal work, too.


Writing Sample:

“Maybe if you didn’t stop for food all the time this kinda thing wouldn’ happen,” Blank observed coolly as he stared at the large purpling bruise on his friend’s leg, “You get too distracted when ya gotta be payin’ attention. What were you doing with that hammer, anyway?”

Peeling the clear backing off, Blank dangled the exposed band-aid on various fingers for a second before smacking it none-too-forgivingly onto Cinna’s injury. His eyebrows furrowed briefly at the others’ noise of complaint and though he muttered, “Grow up,” he also applied the second band-aid with less ferocity. He was pretty sure that the patches, of varying sizes and colors, weren’t going to do much good against something like this, but it was a way of making somebody feel better so, well, why not.

Meanwhile, Blank was regaled with the story of the bruise’s origin, though some of the details were questionable. Blank kept his mouth shut and just pulled out a band-aid for every wonky part in the tale. When it was all over, Cinna’s leg was patterned with a mass of what looked more like stickers than medical care. There were cartoon monsters on top of vehicles on top of pretty flowers on top of--- wait, pretty flowers?! Where had that one come from? … Oh well.

“Good news,” he told his comrade as they both stood up, brushing dust off their shorts and Blank adjusting his thick sunglasses, “Yer not gonna die. This time.”

Other Notes: Oh, the decision-making agony that went into this!

Biography:
As far back as she can remember Relm has been alone. She has never met her parents and was left in the care of her grandfather, Strago, in Little Nibelheim. One day when Relm was three years old, he left to pick something up from a nearby grocer but never came home. A neighbor began to get suspicious because Strago would take Relm out with him often and she hadn't seen the two in days. Authorities found the three year old by herself scribbling
on her bedroom wall with her crayons. The child never cried, but she seemed anxious. They tried to ask the little girl where her grandfather had gone, but all they could get out of her was that he was 'lost' and she proceeded to press what appeared to be poorly drawn map into the social worker's hand.

So, Relm ended up in Kramer Orphanage and that is where she spent her childhood. She was was a very active , healthy little girl. She was overall a good child even if not a very obedient one, one of her most notable incidents involving setting loose a small group of lizards in the Matrons room. Despite the trouble she would get into she was likable enough. Most of the other children just liked for her to draw them as she did seem to have a knack for it and was the best at it among them.

In middle school, she made fairly average grades her best always being in art and P.E. class;Relm never worried much about school. She was more interested in drawing during class than listening anyway. Friends came and went. Though overall, she was a good and loyal friend, she never really picked up on how to make lasting relationships because she was so used to being left to herself. It would make her fee sad and awkward to hear of some of the children talking about what 'Ma ma' was going to buy for them or where 'Pa Pa' was going to take them camping. She never let on, usually blocking it out, but Realm longed to know the love of a family. So, at age thirteen, she decided that when the day would come she could get a job, she would save money to hire an investigator and find Strago.

She is starting Ivalice High school this year with that goal not forgotten. So, who knows what the future holds?

Time Zone: Eastern

Character Information:
Fandom: Final Fantasy XII
Name: Dr. Cidolfus Demen Bunansa (aka Dr. Cid)
Character Model: Daniel Craig
Age: Around 50
Current Residence: Winhill
Occupation: Researcher and Teacher

Personality: Dr. Cid is one of those people who can confuse others with a simple sentence or look. While in the classroom or wandering the halls of the University in general, the good doctor is a kind and collected soul. He has something of an infectious personality during these times, students drawn to him for help not just in the science fields, but all other courses of study. Cid cares deeply for his students and will do whatever he can to help them pass. (Failing students just depress him so.) It is for these reasons and these reasons alone that many students sign up for his classes each semester.

But unlike the side he shows to his students, when in his lab or office, the good doctor does a complete 180 in personality. There have been many of times when colleagues have overheard him talking out loud to his pet raven, Venat, and many times he has been spied talking to thin air. His work consumes his mind and when working on his research, he becomes obsessive to the point of sometimes forgetting the rest of the world exists. It’s as if he has fallen into his own little world with no one but Venat there to guide him.

Dr. Cid, Part 2
[info]crazedwolf
2008-03-10 11:25 pm UTC (link)
Biography:
Not much is known about the past life of Dr. Cidolfus as he rarely speaks to anyone about it. What is known is that he and his wife were married very young, having met while graduate students at the University and during their time together had three sons. Cidolfus was soon on his way to becoming a doctor and his wife decided to stop where she was in school and work on raising their children, supporting Cid in all his work. Everything about their life seemed normal as one would expect for such a seemingly happy growing family, but appearances can be deceiving.

It was just after the birth of their third son, Ffamran that Dr. Cid began to delve further and further into his work, saying that he was closer then he ever had been before to discovering the true power of a newly found crystal substance known as Nethicite. He would spend long hours at the University, working nonstop in his labs and office on a project that he would not speak about to anyone. He had no need for assistants and every person who asked about the research was seen as a prospective spy in his mind due to his growing obsession and, to be frank, insanity. Cid began to grow further and further away from his family, hardly even acknowledging his sons and only mumbling to his wife before going to bed or leaving the house. Mrs. Bunansa’s worry and fear for her husband grew with each passing day until she finally confronted him about how closed off he had become only to find herself running smack into the walls he seemed to have surrounded himself with. This, of course, was the last straw and while he was hard at work at the University one night, his wife and children left.

Now, for most this would be what one could call a ‘reality check’, but sadly Cid hardly seemed to notice. The first day after they had left, he stayed home, canceling his classes and hiding away in his house in Winhill in what most thought to be the beginnings of depression. How wrong they were though, for the next day the good doctor was back at work but this time with a companion. A sleek black raven that he had dubbed Venat seemed to be his replacement for the family that had been lost and from that day forward he was never seen without the creature. Dr. Cid began to throw himself into his work even more so then he had before, sometimes even spending the night at the University to work on his unknown Nethicite related research.

While still the good and kind doctor that the students knew and had come to respect, there was something else there, something that his colleagues began to worry about..and many believed it had to do with his research and the strange creature he had become so close with.

Character Information:
Fandom: Final Fantasy 7
Name: Cloud Strife
Character Model: Justin Hartley
Age: 22
Current Residence: Narshe Zozo Slums
Occupation: senior at the Balamb University/ part time pizza delivery boy

Personality: Cloud is perceived as the strong silent type. People always seem to look up to him, though he doesn’t know why others do this. On the outside he tends not to show his feelings. Most of the time, he is silent and ignores the general world around him. Even in emergencies he acts as if he doesn’t care what happens. However, when he feels the need to step in, he stays calm and doesn’t waste any time.

Inside he is an emotional wreck. Haunted by past traumas and what he believes to be sins, he avoids the public so as not to fail anyone else. He lives a tormented life holding self-induced grudges and hopes to one day find repentance. It is his belief that no individual can solve his problems for him. Therefore, not wanting to involve others, he pushes them away.

Despite all of his inner turmoil, there isn’t a single thing that he doesn’t cherish. With time, he can open up and show the friends around him how much they mean to him. In the end, he acts the way he does so as not to harm that which he covets so much.


Biography: A bad childhood, life changing deaths, bitter rivals…yeah that sums up Cloud’s past. There are many things that are left unclear, many things that are shady, as if, something else really happened than what Cloud lets on. He doesn’t speak much of his previous engagements, but when anyone asks, he tends to act different. It’s as though he is a completely different person. There are events that he rants on about that his childhood friends don’t remember him being a part of. Also, he speaks of committing actions that he wouldn’t commit. Regardless, they lack the courage to reveal any sort of truth. So it is rumored that his mind isn’t legit, and he just fills in the blank spaces with whatever he deems fit.

Aside from that, many people don’t now much of who he is.

An incident happened when he lived in Little Nibelheim, and soon afterwards Cloud disappeared for two years. Eventually, he resurfaced at the Balamb University and met with the administration requesting that he enroll. Reluctantly they agreed but demanded excellence. He surpassed their expectations. Attaining straight A’s in all his courses while maintaining a job and paying rent, he quickly earned respect and had many peers. His talents were numerous and countless job offers swarmed him. The road ahead of him is promising.

Several questions arouse about what happened to Cloud, but he was quick to dismiss conversation. Overtime, everyone just let it go. His personal life isn’t much to look at, yet, it invokes just further curiosity to as who he really is. Everyday, he visits the Fabula Nova Crystallus Church, his business unknown. On weekends, he can be seen going into the Lunatic Pandora and signing contracts with random organizations, such as Avalanche. He is indeed a man full of mysteries.

Those lucky few individuals that make an effort to know him realize the person he can be. He is trusting and caring of those he forms friendships with and will go to great lengths for them. It takes time, but in the end, it’s worth the wait.

Right now he is a senior at the Balamb University and is closing in upon graduation.

Writing Sample: The halls were bustling with the voices of students eagerly anticipating the end of the day. True, Cloud had only one class left like the majority attending Balamb University. Still, that wasn't enough to signal the end of another day. He had to make up for lost time at work, due to the assignment he had taken with Avalanche this past weekend.

He didn't mind his job. It was another activity that would keep his mind distracted from the haunting memories of his past. Out of the blue a cold shiver shot through his body. The seriousness of his condition was more than he could bare. Closing his locker door he tread down the halls muttering to himself why things had to happen the way they did.

Other Notes: I love Cloud to death, and I put a lot of effort and time into this. My writing skills need work, but I will do my best to meet your expectations. Any help you can give would be great. Thanks! Hope you enjoy!

Name: Freya Cresent
Character Model: Wavering between Eliza Dushku and Kristen Bell. Plz help xD
Age: 23
Current Residence: China Town
Occupation: Security Guard at Costal De Sol, takes night classes three times a week at the college for a basic degree.

Personality: Freya is strong and independent, hard working, earning her own way through the world. She's kinda, caring, feisty, and has an all around strong personality. She will put all of her heart and loyalty into what ever she is doing or whoever she is with. She knows how to handle rough situations, never caving in under pressure, and takes everything in stride. Her only real downside is her quick temper followed by a sharp tongue, and the tendency to blame only herself when things go wrong.

Biography: People always said Freya was lucky.

Freya lived a normal, middle class life. She had two kind, hard working parents. In school she was never bother by bullies. Friends came easily. Life was never perfect, but it was good. Nothing ever warrented complaint. Her Elementary and Junior High year passed in a similar fashion. A small, close-knit group of friends formed around her. Freya worked hard to make the top grade, and joind the fencing team. After copious amounts of begging her parents let her take karate lessons. Life was...normal. As normal as it could get.

Then Freya met Fratley. He became her world. Freya positioned everything in her life around Frately, never forgetting her friends and family, but always placing him first. It became more than normal, for them. It wasnt much, not really, but in their eyes it was a bliss. True love, as the stories say. A "once in a lifetime approtunity", earning them the stamp of "happily ever after"

So people said.

Then, one day, just before graduation, Fratley was gone.

Freya's world shattered. Freya was not there to recieve her diploma that day, only her ghost. Her world, her heart, her soul, was gone. Scattered into the wind, like only so much dust.

People only shook her heads, saying she had been too lucky. Things had been too good.

Freya worked hard. She worked hard to piece her life back together, and worked hard to find Fratley. She never gave up hope. She is still working hard, earning a living by working in the security deparment at Coasta de Sol, and is putting herself through college by way of night school. And she still never gives up hope that Fratley will be found.

So people say.

Writing Sample: Freya strolled the halls of Costa De Sol, bored and also slightly annyoed. She had just been release from her third encounter of a guest needing help for the afternoon. Why, she wondered, did people always feel that just because you were working security, you were stupid? No one had the answer. But it was the one true complaint she had for her job. People could be just so rude.

"Please, miss, can you help me find this?" "No, miss, I've already been that way." "Thank you miss, but I think I'm going to go find someone else to help. But thank you." Freya felt like she could just scream.

No. She paused, and took a deep breath. No. It was no use getting angry. Annoyance, yes, that was tolerable. But not anger. She needed to start keeping tabs on her temper.

Other Notes: Again xD I need some help with a pb. And that writing sample bothers me.

Personality: Tifa is the definition of independent. She spends her spare time at the gym training some of the younger kids in martial arts. She has a pretty strong maternal instinct and goes easier on them than they realize. She is a very capable fighter (and the bouncers at her bar could almost not be needed, except that co-manager is pretty much a full time job and she can't keep her eye on every low life every second.) Her faults are that she's a bit overprotective of the people she cares about and doesn't always voice her uncertainties. Other than being a bit demanding at times, she's very kind and a loyal friend.

Biography:
Tifa's past isn't exactly perfect. Her mother fell ill when she was very young and died. She was so full of grief she barely ate and could not rest for days. Her father was not in much better shape. It was a huge blow to their family. Shortly afterwards, she was involved in an accident she doesn't remember because the trauma caused memory loss.

She was never sure of exactly what happened, because her father refused to talk about it. The only clue Tifa had was the bandage wrapped around her head when she awoke in her bedroom to noisy shouts.The one memory imprinted in her brain from that time was of looking out of her window and hearing her father yelling angrily at a blond headed boy standing in the front yard.

Being the survivor she is,Tifa went on to co-manage her father's bar when she turned eighteen, preferring work and keeping busy to school. It's generally one of the safer, funner bars, which is why it is open to the youth on Thursday evenings. On Saturdays, there are even kareoke nights. Depending on how drunks participants are varies in the fun of it.

Character Information:
Fandom: Final Fantasy 9
Name: Vivi Orunitia
Character Model: Vincent Kartheiser
Age: 15
Current Residence: Streets of Twilight/ Outside Tantalus Theater
Occupation: n/a

Personality: Vivi is genuinely shy to the general world, ‘avoiding the unnecessary public’ as he calls it. He isn’t bitter or cruel to others, just afraid of them in an odd way. Aside from his poor social skills, Vivi has this strange child-like air about him. The simplest of things can easily draw his attention. Anything that a curious child would do, Vivi will do as well. On the rare occasion, whenever somebody crosses Vivi’s path and thinks they can walk all over him, they end up running away in fright. For someone that is average height and skinny, he can handle himself well.

The real person on the inside is a complete opposite to his outward self. Both persons being accurately correct, it is weird to see someone that can function as Vivi does. His insight knows no bounds. Able to see through people and depict the exact truth from anything, he is never deceived. Also, he is very understanding of human emotion and can connect to anyone if he allowed himself to. The downside to his abilities is that he keeps everything holed up.

He is naturally kind and tends not to look down on others. When it comes to relationships with people, he loves them deeply and he is caring and supportive of his friends. Contradictory to what he expresses, he clings to them and always wants to be there.

All the loneliness and sorrow gets to his head and he can’t help but to want these things. His interests lie solely in looking for purpose in his life. Being empty-handed, there is nothing to interest him. For someone that believes he doesn’t exist, how can he have anything…

Biography: Existence needs physical proof to show whether or not something is real. Can you prove that you really do exist? Maybe reality is just a dream; maybe existence is actually nothingness… These are the ideas of a fifteen year old teenager, Vivi.

There isn’t much to Vivi’s childhood. As an infant, he was taken in by Quail, a chef that loved to search endlessly for new recipes. Vivi lived in an abandoned warehouse within the Elephant Graveyard under Quail’s wing. They survived by the skin of their teeth, barely escaping death, scrounging around for something to eat, and never getting a good night’s rest. Yet, they were happy.

Over the years Vivi continuously impressed Quail with his insight and the natural truths that flowed out of his mouth. It seemed that the youngster knew more than the elder, so Quail decided to leave in search of more knowledge, hoping to come back with more than cooking recipes to teach his only real friend. For seven months Vivi waited for his ‘father’.

Then, on the morning of his thirteenth birthday Vivi awoke to see him lying on the ground deathly ill. He tried fervently to help, but at noon that day, Quail died. Crushed of all joy and comfort, Vivi got to his feet and ran into the unknown.

For two long years he roamed the streets of Twilight, never talking to anyone and always hiding in the shadows. Then he heard of the Tantalus Theater. Rumors spoke of how well literary works of art were given physical form and how the most difficult concepts where spelled out clearly. Feelings of restored hope sprang into his very being and Vivi tread what appeared to be the perfect path to his new home.

Now, he lives outside the theater, sneaking in to watch the latest plays and auditions to pass the time. If only he had someone to share this with, someone that could prove he was really here, existing…

Writing Sample: Vivi was heading towards his one place of peace, the one place that made him feel alive. The Tantalus Theater always held something interesting. The owner of the place was always yelling at people, auditions were a joy to watch, everything there was a delight to his eyes.

'It must be the interaction between them.' Vivi muttered to himself.

Munching on a piece of bread he scavenged from one of the nearby dumpsters, he wondered whether there might be a place for him. He had no friends. There
was no one to keep him company. Living life is a concept unknown to him.

As the theater came into view, he began to run. He heard auditions were being held today, and he didn't want to miss any of it. Finishing off his scraps of food, he snuck into the back and head into the auditorium.

Other Notes: I intended to get this in sooner, but whatever. I hope to get accepted. =)

Player Information:
Name: Ian will do.
Age: 20.
Personal Journal: This one.
AIM: Instinctive Hate.
Email: instinctivehate@aol.com
Time Zone: Central.

Character Information:
Fandom: Final Fantasy VII.
Name: Sephiroth - Seth Vincenzo.
Character Model: Travis Fimmel, though I am open to other suggestions.
Age: 27
Current Residence: Rabanastre Apartment Complex
Occupation: Captain of Twilight City's elite SWAT force.

Personality:
People don't have many kind things to say of Seth after meeting him for the first time - in fact, they have very little to say at all, being that he isn't a particularly sociable man. Even his colleagues at work don't have much to show in lieu of his personality, save for a select few.

In short, he is a stoic, introspective fellow with minimal interest in the opinions of others, being that his own conclusions are correct ninety-nine percent of the time. Recurring descriptive terms others have used are "stony", "cold", and in some cases... "merciless". In confounding contrast, others still have praised him as a hero, crowing that his skill and physical prowess to be "almost inhuman". Seth himself seems impervious to either side, appearing entirely disinterested in what his co-workers, family, and the media decide to peg him as. His responses to all are nonchalant and monosyllabic at best, rash and scolding otherwise.

All in all, he is a firm advocate of actions speaking louder than words.
Whatever inner demons and mental discrepancies the man may or may not be fighting, his tendency is to keep it all to himself, allowing it to fester quietly in the corner of his mind until the issue resolves itself or he has the time and resources to dissect it alone.

Yet... even in his impressive current position, a certain part of him has always known, at least subconsciously, that he could do better. Living a life of consistent over-achievement couldn't have been all luck; Even so, it was something more than that. He was different than the fools that drifted in and out of his path, adequately or inadequately performing their assigned tasks like unquestioning, mechanized dolls. Perhaps that was the curse of being the inexpressive philosopher he had always been. Surely there was no ill-will in the cause they collectively fought for, but...

Needless to say, Seth Vincenzo's strength lay in structure. His skill, cunning, and drive are only put toward a given task positively when the task is given - Report to Location A, Apprehend Suspect B, Monitor Subject C from Time X through Time Y. If that structure is lacking, not much usually goes in the way of stopping him from creating his own, more preferable plan. Those under him have the tendency admire him... and he has not yet met his equal.

Biography:
As the eldest of four brothers, it had always been up to Seth to set the ideal example for his younger siblings. He always had something extra that he aimed to prove to his family, whether it be in the category of schooling, sports, extracurricular activities, odd jobs, official occupations, or even just helping his mother around the house. As the undisputed Favorite Child of the busy Vincenzo family, he effortlessly mastered every single task the world placed in front of him... and equally effortlessly planted seeds of bitter jealousy in his three siblings as his mother doted on him shamelessly for it. Not that he minded... or cared. He, unlike his brothers, he was plucked perilously from high school early to attend the exclusive military school instead. It goes without saying that he was the first in his class.

Both of his parents were avid, devout researchers for the Shinra company, and as far back as his memory dares to go, they always seemed to be "on the verge" of some astronomical breakthrough ... Although that breakthrough never actually came. Not to his knowledge. While his family did own a comfortable home somewhere in Winhill, most of his childhood was spent at the actual facility where they worked. Even in his early youth, rigorous schooling dominated the greater part of his days followed immediately by athletic training of varying types and intensities at the Parthenon. From there, both he and his brothers would rendezvous at their parents' office to enjoy a company-funded meal and awkward, distant dinner-table conversations about subjects that he did not understand (physics, astrology, religious philosophy, microbiology), but tried hard to pretend to. Yet another task that he trumped his brothers on.

That being said, Seth had been a fairly happy child ... if not a bit peculiar. Solitary, stoic, and absolutely infallible since birth, even his unfortunate quirk of inadvertently frightening away the other children and classmates was praised and hailed as an ideal by his mother (as his father merely nodded vacantly), leaving his siblings seething silently in their seats.

He graduated from the academy a year early with various decorations and shining letters from the principal, who seemed to have taken a particular liking to the obedient, silent student. Before the Christmas of that same year he had already breezed through Twilight City's police training (under the watchful eye of the Sheriff), earning his badge and gun by the following Valentine's Day. However, his time on the police force was embarrassingly brief. In six months he had surpassed the record of violent offenders apprehension of any rookie in the city's history - and had only begrudgingly done so under the supervision of his unhappy partner when he could not talk his way into working alone. After two years of mercilessly clawing his way up the ladder of power, the Sheriff enthusiastically began writing up glowing recommendations once more in hopes that Officer Vincenzo would be bumped up to a level of authority higher than the run-of-the-mill police force (ideally, to a level that didn't directly jeopardize his own authority).

While the change in jurisdiction may have been a bit premature, it was not ill-deserved. Two and a half years had left the young brute a little stir-crazy, if not frustrated with the lack of challenging tasks in his workplace. Deemed immediately but kindly 'not the type' for Special Victims (or any other positions warranting empathetic interactions), he spent some time bouncing back and forth between Narcotics and Major Case, politely waving off a job offer as a personal bodyguard to the Mayor until he finally found his niche.

The pay was not spectacular and the perks were few and far between, but there was a definite appeal in the city's elite SWAT team. Of course, he wasn't just seated in the position of power that he instantly had his eye on - Captain - but, at the ripe, old age of 22, his heart and mind were both set.

Zack Fair Application
[info]menianoon

Player Information:
Name: Michael DeVillar
Age: 20
Personal Journal: Menianoon (very rarely updated if even at all)
AIM: billythebox1234
Email: minivash12345@gmail.com
Time Zone: Central US.

Character Information:
Fandom: Final Fantasy VII
Name: Zack Fair
Character Model: Tak Sakaguchi
Age: 21
Current Residence: Narshe Zozo Slums
Occupation: Aspiring musician, but to pay the bills he does underground prize fighting and takes what paying jobs around the slums he can find.

Personality: Zack is a very outgoing person who keeps a cheery disposition through almost any situation, no matter how grim or impossible the task ahead may seem. This may put some people off when they meet him, but his fondness of making friends eventually tends to win people over to him. He's a strong fellow both in body and mind, passionate, and devoted to his cause and his friends. However, his passion and devotion will sometimes lead him to be overly trusting of people and his awareness of his own abilities leads to cockiness and fool-hardy actions that get him in trouble. A love of music leads him to almost constantly have something playing to help pass the time, and he is almost always seen with either his electric or acoustic guitar with him. Living alone in the slums doesn't seem to get the blue eyed man down, even though he clearly lives in less than good conditions, choosing to bear his problems on his own back.

Zack Application part two. (Bio part 1)
[info]menianoon
2008-04-22 03:20 am UTC (link)
Biography: Though Zack lives now in poor conditions, his life was not always as such. Born to Arthur and Gloria Fair, Zack was brought up in a middle class home in the country with his older brothers Brandon and Matthew. His father Arthur worked hard as a researcher at Shinra Industries to provide for his family. The Fairs lived comfortably in their country home, the three boys all attended acredited schools, and in general, life was good.

Zack, however, had always showed a rebellious streak, even as a child. While his two older brothers were straight A students in advanced courses and were very well-mannered children, Zack was rambunctious, showing no interest in his classes, and was frequently sent home from school for fighting with other students. Near failing grades resulted in this bad conduct, which created some stigma for the family as the rest were upstanding individuals. In spite of all of these unhealthy schooltime habits, he still was friendly to those who approached him as such and showed an unwavering loyalty to his friends - which was often the cause of the fights in the first place.

As Zack grew older and entered High School, he developed a love for music, while his brothers showed more grounded interests in research and business. While Zack's parents were glad that he had found something that didn't involve him getting in trouble, they were utterly dismayed when they heard his lofty goals of becoming the best musician of his generation. Continuing with the onset tradition of his public conduct, his academic grades remained at the lower end of the spectrum, and he got suspended on what seemed like a monthly basis for repeated conflictions with other students.

His parents desperately attempted to get his head out of the clouds, but nothing they said swayed Zack's ambition. When he graduated High School, Zack decided that it was time to live life on his own instead of going off to college like his brothers were preparing to do. Numerous arguments ensued with this decision, especially between Zack and his father, who claimed that this musical pursuit was just a phase the the blue-eyed youth was going through. Predictably, this just fueled his already rebellious nature, and after packing his things, he moved to a small apartment in the slums.

At first he tried to make all of his money by playing at various clubs and on the street, but to his dismay, he barely scraped by from week to week for several months. This didn't go over well with Zack. While he was more than capable of survivng like that, he also knew he'd need to get money elsewhere to pay off the bills if he wanted to live with more than just electricity and running water. Zack started to take jobs around the slums as he found them, helping to build something here, delivering there, whatever he could do to earn some money. While in the middle of one of these odd jobs one afternoon, he came across a sign advertising underground prize fighting, and the need for competitors. Feeling that this was well within his capabilities, he made his way to the address listed.

The ancient-looking building that was home for the prize fighting was an old arena of moderate size, seeming to be made back when the slums were new. When Zack entered, he thought the place may have been abandoned or he'd read the address incorrectly. However, when he called out a few greetings and ventured further in to the building, he was greeted by a boisterous old man who asked why the youth had come. Zack, being the innocent fellow that he still was began telling what had the makings of a fine autobiography before the older man cut him off and told him to get to the point, which he then hastily did. The old man studied Zack afterwards, sizing him up before bringing him further in to the arena, starting to show him around. He then brought him to the training area, where people of all walks of life were working out and performing various exercises. The old man explained that the next round of matches were scheduled for that night, and that Zack would be entered in to the the Rookies' category - if he had the balls. If he won, he'd get his first share of money and a bump up to the next level.

Tifa Lockhart - Part 1

Player Information:
Name: Christina
Age: 19
Personal Journal: This one~
AIM: xsymmetryx
Email: youdbemydream@yahoo.com
Time Zone: EST

Character Information:
Fandom: Final Fantasy 7
Name: Tifa Lockhart
Character Model: Boa Kwon
Age: 21
Current Residence: Rabanastre Apartment Complex
Occupation: Owner of Seventh Heaven (is that alright?)

Personality: Tifa Lockhart is a caring, responsible young woman, who believes she can accomplish anything if she sets her mind to it. She often times finds herself playing the mother-figure to her friends and family, even if they are older than she is. While working behind the counter at her bar, she is often the one to give advice to those who come and spill their problems and concerns. At only 21, many people would agree that she is one of the most mature young women that they have ever met. Just how responsible she is can clearly be seen by the simple fact that she runs her own bar. Some people even go as far as saying that she concentrates too much on her work, but while that isn't entirely true, her 'fun time' is certainly lacking.

Tifa can be considered quiet by many, but that is simply because she is more of an observer than a talker. That being said, though, once she gets started on a subject that interests her, it takes a lot to shut her up. She will speak her mind about things she cares about, even if others disagree with her opinions.

One of her personality traits that seems to be both positive and negative is how stubborn she is. If she believes something is right or the right way to do something, there is a high, high chance that she won't change her mind, unless presented with a mountain of reasons to think otherwise. She believes that, because she got so far on her own judgments, that she knows what's best in certain situations.

Biography: Tifa grew up never knowing her mother. After she was born, her mother simply left her in the care of her father. Her mother leaving never really had any negative impact on her, since she never had any attachment to her to begin with. Her father, however, loved his little girl and would often times get angry if his ex-wife was ever brought up. He couldn't believe how anyone could leave such an innocent child. Tifa, in turn, loved her father, and developed an attachment to him.

Her aunt would stop by a few times a week, when she wasn't working at her bar, to play a mother figure in her life, and she shared her brother's resentment towards his ex-wife. She was determined to help raise the girl, knowing that there were things her father couldn't teach her. As she was growing up, her aunt constantly made her promise that she would be a responsible woman when she grew up, and succeed in everything she could do, never letting anything get her down. Tifa took this to heart, and when she graduated middle school, she was number two in her class.

However, her life took a turn at the start of her freshman year in high school. On the first day of her new school, she was called down to the principal's office, only to hear that her father died of a heart attack. However sad she was, she was determined not to cry. She was determined to live up to the promise she made to her aunt and not let it get her down. Some of her family even called her heartless for seemingly not caring about his death, but she simply viewed the tragedy as something she had to overcome. She moved in with her aunt, and she dug herself even deeper into her schoolwork. In her second year of high school, her aunt determined that she needed a hobby - all work and no play makes Tifa a dull girl - she would say. She signed up for karate lessons, and made it all the way to a green belt. She had to discontinue the lessons though, wanting to concentrate more on her school work. This time, she graduated as number one in her class.

Before she went into college, her aunt asked her if she'd like to take over the Seventh Heaven, her bar. Tifa had fallen in love with the place, going there quite frequently to help out with cleaning up, and even with things like paperwork. So, naturally, she had agreed, and was on the path to becoming a business major. In between her classes, she worked at the bar with her aunt, learning how to mix various drinks, how to interact with many different kinds of paper, and even deal with the financial aspects of running a business. It didn't take long for her to graduate with a degree. It only took her two years, taking summer and winter classes.

Right after she graduated, not in the top five this time, but in the top ten, her aunt handed over the reigns to her, staying on just in case Tifa needed additional guidance. She has since been working there as manager for a year now, and lives in an apartment close by.
