One he has recovered, take him to intense training? ?Yes sir, but he?s the only one that?s survived all 3, and survived to go through with 4...? ?I know?there was only one other, but we shall not say his name for the time being. Do as I say, and we?ll have him in intense training? ?Yes sir? A conveyor belt slowly started moving, and a lifeless body was being brought along it, still wet from the shower of the power of Gaia. His skin irradiating a glow of pure light. Pulsating through the room, the body still as lifeless as before, but the difference between this Unit 1 Soldier, and the others going through the same process, is he?s the only one surviving. Now with a medical cloak wrapped around him, he was shifted to the medical bay, through the process of a wheel chair. As the guard pushed the Soldier through the medical bay doors, he was greeted by the head nurse, who was gasping for air when she seen him. The last Soldier Unit 1, survived the Mako Enhancement Course. His skin still emitting that bright glow, only to be contrasted by his deep and black hair. She nodded towards the Soldier, just for confirmation from the guard. He nodded slowly, No words were passed, as the nurse lay the Soldier down on the bed the guard left the room, making sure he wasn?t going to be asked questions. The mysterious Unit 1 Soldier lay in that bed for weeks to come, and still the glow never went away, still emitting that ever-bright light. And still his hair contrasted it, black on white.

A man in a long black cloak walked out of one of the many boothes being placed around the Midgar area. Tha man?s face a stern look of severity, his hair just covering his eyes, blackening them slightly. He walked out onto the cold, wet street of Midgar Sector 03. Nothing had changed since those 50 years back. Shinra funded the rebuilding of Midgar, and that was that. The mysterious man walked on for quite a bit, the light reflecting from the purple running through his hair. Walking to the train station, he sat down at a bench. The train station had been down for quite some time now, no train had been through Sector 03 for about 12 years. Unless it was o Shinra business. A group of 5 or so joined the man so after. All varying in appearance. The mysterious man looked up to the plate. The lights twinkling, not real stars. Just lights twinkling. He cleared his throat and looked among the group that had joined him. [b]Our Plan is to commense. We?re escaping Midgar. And in memory of my brother, we?ll give em? hell before we go[/b][/CENTER] Character Info: [B]1#. Zach Long - Mysterious Man[/B] Zach was born into the lifestyle he lives now. He?s a Midgar child. He remembered those agonizing times with ShinRa. Seeing as he rebelled against there acts to the Gaia and to the life source of us all. He was born approximately 25 years after the Meteor was summoned. And he can still remember the stories told by his father and grand-father. Stoires of a mighty One-Winged Angel, these stories scared Zach at the time, but he grew to know the truth of what happened. And what ShinRa had created and manipulated, all out of the life source of his world. [B]2#. Imi Lockheart[/B] - *Reserved* Imi is the grand daughter of the mighty Tifa that we know and love. Imi went through some hard times when she got schooled. Bullied because she didn?t have a father, her mum never married. Her mother was quite wealthy though, and worked high in the ShinRa Head Quarters. But still Imi wants out, she hates her lifestyle, and reading and seeing what Tifa done, she?s determined to get out of the hell hole that they rebuilt. You could say she was quite the opposite of Tifa though, determined yes, but she?s more timid in figure. Working mostly on helping others than beating the bad guys up. [B] 3#. Kira Night[/B] Kira is your down to earth type of girl. She knows when she needs help and doesn?t, she knows she isn?t your typical girly girl. And woah has she got some right hook. She?s seen as a tough nut, but she has her sweet side. But you only ever see that when she?s alone. She doesn?t like to be alone often though, she has to have anyone around her, just someone that she can talk to if she wants. But in fights, it?s completely different, she has one of the most variable attitudes towards anything. But she does have one decided thing. Her hate for ShinRa, nothing had changed from all that time ago. But now they planned to make that change. [b]4#. Custom Character[/b] [b]5#. Custom Character[/b] [CENTER] Sign-Up's.

She uses weapons like Zidane's sometimes they're twin daggers, but usually they're a double ended blade. [U][B]Personality:[/B][/U] Sakura is a calm person and doesn't get angry very quickly, she usually speaks quietly and softly. She is strong minded and never admits defeat, even when she's lost. She's a quick thinker and solves problems quickly. She can easily keep a cool head in a heated argument. Sakura is very stealthy, flexible and acrobatic and gymnastic and has been since she was a child, but she's had to be, seeing as she's a thief. But if she doesn't like you, she'll show it, and you'd have to gain her trust because she has a sixth sense with people. She's skilled with a number of bladed weapons, but prefers her double ended ones or twin daggers the most. But even without weapons, she's a hard opponent to beat because she knows martial arts from her deceased mentor and adopted father. Sakura's a good thief which is further explained in the Bio, but keep in mind that she doesn't steal recklessly, she only steals what she needs or thinks will come in useful. Sakura also likes to mess around with electronical equipment and always carries her pocket computer(new technology) that she stole because she thought it'd be good to have around. In her free time, she prefers to hang around with her gang and take care of her very sick father who's on the brink of death. And when not doing either of those, she likes to travel to Sector 7 and look at the newly revealed sky. [U][B]Biography:[/B][/U] Sakura was born to an abandoned father. Her mother had left her father after she had been given birth leaving him to juggle caring for a baby daughter and his job. Her father was poor and was out of work because he had gotten sick. He used to be a Miner, and after the years the dust and air pollution had gotten into his lungs and he had problems breathing. That's why Sakura was forced into a life of thievery. She used to be a terrible thief and was always discovered. She was 9 and was only a beginner. One day when she was still 9, she stumbled into an alley after another unsuccessful day. She was cornered by 3 members from a gang of thieves at the dead end. They checked her pockets and were surprised when they found nothing. The Thief Lord, who was their leader, came out of the shadows and spoke to her. He asked her why she was trying to steal, because they had seen her day after day being unsuccessful. Sakura explained everything and the Thief Lord felt sorry for her and decided to take pity on her. The Thief Lord agreed to give her lessons if she agreed to do a favour for him when he called it. Now remember, Sakura was young and didn't think much of a favour and agreed. Day after day she would go to the alleyway and would get lessons from him. 2 years passed and she was 11. She had become quite a pro and stole from people while the victim felt nothing. She could even steal something from someone's hand without them noticing until it was too late. She stole clothes for herself and her father, and items that could help them. She'd steal food daily to keep her and her father's health up. After another year, Sakura had grown to the age of 12. As day after day, month after month, year after year, passed she became a Thieving Prodigy. She would often visit the Thief Lord and his gang. They were her only friends and they would talk and laugh about things. When she was 14, she went to visit the gang. She hadn't visited them for 2 months because her father?s condition had weakened considerably and didn?t have time to hang around as she used to. She went into the secret area in the alley and looked inside in confusion. There was no sound coming, where as it was usually full of life. She looked into the main area and saw the whole gang was crowded around something. Sakura pushed through and tears started to well up in her eyes when she saw what, more of [i]who[/i] was in the middle. It was the Thief Lord. He had been a second father to her after he took her into his care with his teachings. As she approached, he starting to give out a series of wheezing coughs, when he was done, he was weak and flopped weakly onto the makeshift bed. Sakura knelt beside him and held his hand; a tear slipped down her cheek and fell onto it. [B]?What?s wrong, Boss??[/B] she asked smiling slightly, calling him a playful name that she?d given him when they?d gotten to know each other. [b]?Sakura??[/b] he said smiling weakly. [b]?I?m dying child.?[/b] [b]?N-No, you can?t die, you can?t.?[/b] she sobbed as he wheezed. [b]"Sakura?You?ve been as precious to me as a daughter?I?ll miss you??[/b] he erupted into a coughing fit at the end of the sentence. [b]"How long?"[/b] Sakura asked, looking into the eyes of one of the gang members. [b]"A month and a half..."[/b] the member replied quietly. [b]"Please....You can't go...You can't...."[/b] Sakura said as the tears slid down her cheeks endlessly. [b]"Sakura...It's time you do that favour for me?..do you remember??[/b] he asked quietly. [b]"Of course I remember.....What do you want me to do?"[/b] [b]"You must agree to do this, you can?t reject it...."[/b] he said. He gestured to one of the members behind him and they approached, carrying a small staff with a large blade on each of the ends. The blades had a small pattern on them that traveled halfway down each blade. Sakura looked at the weapon in awe because she thought it was beautiful. [b]?This is for you.?[/b] he said hoarsely as the member held it out to her. [b]?No, I can?t take such a thing.?[/b] She protested, not able to take such a gift. [b]?It belongs with you, I?ve had a feeling that it should go to you since it came into my possession.?[/b] Sakura tentatively reached out a hand and took the weapon; she swung it around and was surprised how light it was, because she expected it to be heavy. [b]?I love it, thank you.?[/b] She said. [b]?Now, for the favour??[/b] he said. [b]?Yes??[/b] [b]?You must use the weapon to end my life.?[/b] he coughed. [b]?No!?[/b] she cried, getting to her feet in outrage. [b]?I won?t do it, I won?t take the life of someone that?s a father to me.?[/b] she said angrily. [b]?Sakura, you promised??[/b] he told her. [b]?B-But.....?[/b] [b]?I know it?s going to be hard??but you must?.the pain?..it hurts?..please end it.?[/b] He pleaded. Tears streamed down her eyes and she twirled the double bladed weapon skillfully as if she?d been using it all her life and closed her eyes as she stabbed him in the heart. He took a last wheezing breath, made out a ?thank you? before his eyes slid closed and he fell into the eternal sleep. Sakura fled from the hideout and didn?t return for the next month. Sakura continued to steal through the years and she still does. She got her latest clothing and accessory items from Wall Market and her father?s still alive, but very weak and ill. She thanks the Thief Lord everyday for helping her when she was young. She?s now the current Thief Lord of the gang and she tries to follow in her footsteps. When she sees new children trying to steal for a reason, she takes them into the gang just as he did with her. [U][B]Character Snippet:[/B][/U] Sakura checked outside of their hideout in case there were people, she saw that it was clear and beckoned for the rest of her gang to come up as well. They came out cautiously and re-hid the entrance to the hideout. Strapped to her back was her double bladed weapon, she never went anywhere without it, just in case anything happened. they'd already planned before hand how they were going to go about that day's thieving and Sakura climbed the closest drainpipe onto the roof of that buidling. The others followed silently and they all set off toward Wall Market, hoping to knab some stuff off the rich people that flaunted their money and jewels around. They were practically asking them to take their stuff by having it half falling out of their pockets. The group was consisted of 6 people including Sakura. They silently ran across the rooftops making sure that they made no noise so the people in the houses didn't hear them. Sakura saw a big gap in front of them and stopped, she had 3 new members and two experienced ones. The new people weren't experienced in jumping so she stood next to one of the experienced ones and grabbed her left wrist with her right hand and the other did the same, then they connected. her left hand took hold of his right. They demonstrated the simple jump with the other experienced member, who jumped with one leg onto their square that they'd made and she and the other pushed upward, launching him upwards. He did an aerial somesault and landed safely on the other side. They all made it over, then Sakura boosted the remaining experienced before taking a run and doing a forward flip over the gap. They took a few hours to hang around Wall Market and steal things, she'd taught the newbies how to effectively steal by using the 'bump-into-victim' trick and they used that. When she thought it was time she called them back and they made their way home, this time they used the shadows on their way, sneaking around quietly and being stealthy. As they were almost home, they encountered another thief gang that they knew as the Panthers, they were well known for stealing from thieves instead of going after other people, and also for being Spies for the famous corporation ShinRa. They reported on gangs that were around and other stuff that happened around, and in return they were allowed to keep anything they got. The leader, a male of the same age as Sakura stepped forward and ordered that they hand over their reapings. Sakura said she'd rather fight, so fight they did. The two leaders pulled out their weapons and circled, he carried a longsword. They lunged forward at each other and locked their weapons, pushing against each other. They both flipped away from each other and watched. He lunged again but this time she was ready, she blocked the down slash with her top blade before slashing at him with her bottom blade. It sliced through his shirt and left a gash on his skin. She got on her hands and did a swipe kick, getting him off his feet, then held one of her blades against his throat, he gave and he signalled for her gang to leave before quickly following them.[/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... JJ Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 [Color=DarkBlue][Size=1]Name: Hidel Garg Age: 15 Appearance: See attachment Gender: Male Weapon: A simple leather whip is all that Hidel carries with him. The only thing that sets it a part from any other is that his name is burned into the hilt about three times. Personality: Hidel is a comedian. He loves to joke around and poke fun at things. Usually, if you see a crowd, Hidel is in the middle. Even though things are incredibly bleak for the world around him, Hidel tries to keep moods up. He has been known to do things from tripping people, to stealing. Hidel in his mind strives to keep up the happy. It is the fuel he runs on, and the one thing that keeps his mind off the real troubles in his life. If he could put himself into reality, he would probably be the most broody, crazy, mental person you could ever hope to not meet. Biography: Hidel grew up in the slums of Midgar. He had no house, and from an early age was forced to either perform or steal for his food. His father had died when he was three, and left a wife and three kids behind. His only possession was a leather whip, and Hidel knew that it was either a curse or a miracle. He began to practice with it, using things like cans and boxes as targets. By seven, he had become better at it, being able to use it to wrap around trees, and also hitting targets from full range. By ten, he was able to get it around people?s legs and trip them without them noticing a thing. In his mind, he wasn?t getting better at all. Rather, people were getting lazy. It seemed that since ShinRa rebuilt Midgar, people had felt that the world was OK. That, in Hidel?s opinion was wrong. If ShinRA could do that by just rebuilding a city, he didn?t want to imagine what they could do with more. As Hidel began to better, he began to show off. He would slip the wallets and purses of people in the audience off and into his arms with just a flick or two of his wrist, and a quick side step. The rule was, if they could stop him, he paid them, but if he won, he got a little bit. This brought in a lot of money for his family who was starting to slowly starve to death. Already, his youngest sister had died, leaving Hidel heartbroken. He?s continued training and has gotten the point of where he will publicly challenge people to get laughs out of others. He always seems to win though, because he only challenges the drunk or plain stupid. Of course, they cough up some money when they realize it was a fair fight. Character Snippet: Hidel smiled as he slipped into position. The kids had been gathered around the little corner where he preformed for more than an hour now. It was time for his big entrance. He pulled his whip form his side and pulled out a small ball that he kept in a pouch that hung from a cord around his neck. He tossed the ball over the unsuspecting populace?s heads and cracked his whip, sneaking into the little plaza almost undetected craking his whip again and making the smoke rise. The little children ?ooh? and ?awed? as Hidel began to dance a little jig. They laughed as he brought his whip, and seconds after he moved, brought it cracking hard down on the spot he once stood. He laughed also, beginning the routine faster. As he smiled bigger, he suddenly stopped and side stepped towards the street. There, a couple stood watching him. He smiled and began to talk with them. Unknowing to them, and the kids expecting it, Hidel brought them over. There, he began his little routine again and suddenly stopped. He looked over at the couple and made and moved his entire arm back and forth once. Almost as magic, the women?s coin purse appeared, making even the kids gasp. The man began to get a little red in the face, but Hidel just shook his head and said ?What are the rules kids?? ?Watching may cost you something after all!? they all said, giggling. The man calmed down and walked up to get the purse back. As Hidel handed it back, he asked ?What do you think a fair share would be?? The man grunted, and handed over some Gils. ?Thank you sir, and I hope you enjoy the rest of the show!? Hidel said returning to his plaza. Some people could be so stupid.

[b]?This is for you.?[/b] he said hoarsely as the member held it out to her. [b]?No, I can?t take such a thing.?[/b] She protested, not able to take such a gift. [b]?It belongs with you, I?ve had a feeling that it should go to you since it came into my possession.?[/b] Sakura tentatively reached out a hand and took the weapon; she swung it around and was surprised how light it was, because she expected it to be heavy. [b]?I love it, thank you.?[/b] She said. [b]?Now, for the favour??[/b] he said. [b]?Yes??[/b] [b]?You must use the weapon to end my life.?[/b] he coughed. [b]?No!?[/b] she cried, getting to her feet in outrage. [b]?I won?t do it, I won?t take the life of someone that?s a father to me.?[/b] she said angrily. [b]?Sakura, you promised??[/b] he told her. [b]?B-But.....?[/b] [b]?I know it?s going to be hard??but you must?.the pain?..it hurts?..please end it.?[/b] He pleaded. Tears streamed down her eyes and she twirled the double bladed weapon skillfully as if she?d been using it all her life and closed her eyes as she stabbed him in the heart. He took a last wheezing breath, made out a ?thank you? before his eyes slid closed and he fell into the eternal sleep. Sakura fled from the hideout and didn?t return for the next month. Sakura continued to steal through the years and she still does. She got her latest clothing and accessory items from Wall Market and her father?s still alive, but very weak and ill. She thanks the Thief Lord everyday for helping her when she was young. She?s now the current Thief Lord of the gang and she tries to follow in her footsteps. When she sees new children trying to steal for a reason, she takes them into the gang just as he did with her. [U][B]Character Snippet:[/B][/U] Sakura checked outside of their hideout in case there were people, she saw that it was clear and beckoned for the rest of her gang to come up as well. They came out cautiously and re-hid the entrance to the hideout. Strapped to her back was her double bladed weapon, she never went anywhere without it, just in case anything happened. they'd already planned before hand how they were going to go about that day's thieving and Sakura climbed the closest drainpipe onto the roof of that buidling. The others followed silently and they all set off toward Wall Market, hoping to knab some stuff off the rich people that flaunted their money and jewels around. They were practically asking them to take their stuff by having it half falling out of their pockets. The group was consisted of 6 people including Sakura. They silently ran across the rooftops making sure that they made no noise so the people in the houses didn't hear them. Sakura saw a big gap in front of them and stopped, she had 3 new members and two experienced ones. The new people weren't experienced in jumping so she stood next to one of the experienced ones and grabbed her left wrist with her right hand and the other did the same, then they connected. her left hand took hold of his right. They demonstrated the simple jump with the other experienced member, who jumped with one leg onto their square that they'd made and she and the other pushed upward, launching him upwards. He did an aerial somesault and landed safely on the other side. They all made it over, then Sakura boosted the remaining experienced before taking a run and doing a forward flip over the gap. They took a few hours to hang around Wall Market and steal things, she'd taught the newbies how to effectively steal by using the 'bump-into-victim' trick and they used that. When she thought it was time she called them back and they made their way home, this time they used the shadows on their way, sneaking around quietly and being stealthy. As they were almost home, they encountered another thief gang that they knew as the Panthers, they were well known for stealing from thieves instead of going after other people, and also for being Spies for the famous corporation ShinRa. They reported on gangs that were around and other stuff that happened around, and in return they were allowed to keep anything they got. The leader, a male of the same age as Sakura stepped forward and ordered that they hand over their reapings. Sakura said she'd rather fight, so fight they did. The two leaders pulled out their weapons and circled, he carried a longsword. They lunged forward at each other and locked their weapons, pushing against each other. They both flipped away from each other and watched. He lunged again but this time she was ready, she blocked the down slash with her top blade before slashing at him with her bottom blade. It sliced through his shirt and left a gash on his skin. She got on her hands and did a swipe kick, getting him off his feet, then held one of her blades against his throat, he gave and he signalled for her gang to leave before quickly following them.[/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJ Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 [Color=DarkBlue][Size=1]Name: Hidel Garg Age: 15 Appearance: See attachment Gender: Male Weapon: A simple leather whip is all that Hidel carries with him. The only thing that sets it a part from any other is that his name is burned into the hilt about three times. Personality: Hidel is a comedian. He loves to joke around and poke fun at things. Usually, if you see a crowd, Hidel is in the middle. Even though things are incredibly bleak for the world around him, Hidel tries to keep moods up. He has been known to do things from tripping people, to stealing. Hidel in his mind strives to keep up the happy. It is the fuel he runs on, and the one thing that keeps his mind off the real troubles in his life. If he could put himself into reality, he would probably be the most broody, crazy, mental person you could ever hope to not meet. Biography: Hidel grew up in the slums of Midgar. He had no house, and from an early age was forced to either perform or steal for his food. His father had died when he was three, and left a wife and three kids behind. His only possession was a leather whip, and Hidel knew that it was either a curse or a miracle. He began to practice with it, using things like cans and boxes as targets. By seven, he had become better at it, being able to use it to wrap around trees, and also hitting targets from full range. By ten, he was able to get it around people?s legs and trip them without them noticing a thing. In his mind, he wasn?t getting better at all. Rather, people were getting lazy. It seemed that since ShinRa rebuilt Midgar, people had felt that the world was OK. That, in Hidel?s opinion was wrong. If ShinRA could do that by just rebuilding a city, he didn?t want to imagine what they could do with more. As Hidel began to better, he began to show off. He would slip the wallets and purses of people in the audience off and into his arms with just a flick or two of his wrist, and a quick side step. The rule was, if they could stop him, he paid them, but if he won, he got a little bit. This brought in a lot of money for his family who was starting to slowly starve to death. Already, his youngest sister had died, leaving Hidel heartbroken. He?s continued training and has gotten the point of where he will publicly challenge people to get laughs out of others. He always seems to win though, because he only challenges the drunk or plain stupid. Of course, they cough up some money when they realize it was a fair fight. Character Snippet: Hidel smiled as he slipped into position. The kids had been gathered around the little corner where he preformed for more than an hour now. It was time for his big entrance. He pulled his whip form his side and pulled out a small ball that he kept in a pouch that hung from a cord around his neck. He tossed the ball over the unsuspecting populace?s heads and cracked his whip, sneaking into the little plaza almost undetected craking his whip again and making the smoke rise. The little children ?ooh? and ?awed? as Hidel began to dance a little jig. They laughed as he brought his whip, and seconds after he moved, brought it cracking hard down on the spot he once stood. He laughed also, beginning the routine faster. As he smiled bigger, he suddenly stopped and side stepped towards the street. There, a couple stood watching him. He smiled and began to talk with them. Unknowing to them, and the kids expecting it, Hidel brought them over. There, he began his little routine again and suddenly stopped. He looked over at the couple and made and moved his entire arm back and forth once. Almost as magic, the women?s coin purse appeared, making even the kids gasp. The man began to get a little red in the face, but Hidel just shook his head and said ?What are the rules kids?? ?Watching may cost you something after all!? they all said, giggling. The man calmed down and walked up to get the purse back. As Hidel handed it back, he asked ?What do you think a fair share would be?? The man grunted, and handed over some Gils. ?Thank you sir, and I hope you enjoy the rest of the show!? Hidel said returning to his plaza. Some people could be so stupid.
