Chachan's friendship powers mostly evolved from wanting Chachan to be a friendly, cheerful, helpful sort as my first delve into MMO RP. I wanted to make him able to be able to fit into as many opportunities as he could! And help acclimate me to this sort of format.
So, he ended up a little guy, out on his own, wanting to help people and become a hero! He had the endurance from being a smith, along with the ability to create his own weapons, but... I really wanted him to have a little spark all his own beyond that. Something that he could do when the chips were down, when he was really needed to step up.
That's where I realized I could play with the idea of his aetheric ineptitude being somewhat due to all that energy being refocused into... well, the ability to take a stand and shield ally and friend. He wants to help and protect people - so his aetheric nature reflects that.
Gogon's strange chain of events came from me (perhaps foolishly) wanting to take a stab at how someone could truly come to "learn" all the Jobs in an IC fashion (partially due to having put all that work into getting them all to 50!). But I wanted to put a twist on it, make him a kind of... dark reflection of the WoL, almost? What happens when you gather all this power for the wrong reasons, and lose yourself along the way in your unyielding desire for revenge.
Judge's WHY for being powerful is due to wanting to try my hand at a sort of... DnD Elder Dragon concept. Old, powerful, with a mindset and view that seems foreign to the "shorter lived races" (aka "the young folk"). Plus, I've always kinda liked the idea of the FFTA Judges and wanted to see how well I could play one of them. Judge lets me do both and it's great fun. I just need to get him into more interactions now that I have him caught up to the MSQ for the expansion.
