Gideon Aryeh

More time passes and my body heals. Eventually more join us and with that come a mage or two. A Lalafell, white mage, male. Upon seeing me he smiles and does his best healing spells. They work, my body eventually returns to normal. My mind does not.... Nothing but flashes and fire in my dream, and more screams. I remember saving many of those that are here from the fire, but...I cannot remember much.. I do not know who the woman is. She tries to tell me little by little every day. About us, about our relationship. About our life in Gridania in the forest amongst the sweeping green. I still do not remember her....she tries to remain patient with me but I can tell that she is heartbroken. There are times where she simply just stares at me and smiles. I don't even know what to say.... I try my best to help when I can. My strength returns and I am able to help hunt and gather firewood. Occasionally. the Miqo'te woman accompanies me. She tells me about places where we used to walk together, and have picnics. She tells me about the times we would chase each other through the green, and the times she showed me how to use a bow and arrow like her people. And she tells me about the time we met. I don't remember any of this at all. During all of this time I find out what happened. Bahamut caused what is referred to as the Great Calamity. The great beast was the cause of the attack. I was in the forest trading furs at an outpost when it all happened. I got many to safety as best as I could. One day during a healing session the Lalafell white mage speaks of the gods, thanking them for being alive. At that moment I felt disgusted. "Gods? Where were these gods when our world was put into ruin?" Where were they to stop the screaming and the loss of many lives.?" I could do nothing but turn away as I lie there being healed. I shall never worship such cowards.....

(putting up some appropriate music to set the mood of the story) KO1jKOzs9oY Awoken by the pain of the burns, on my chest on my arms and legs and in my lungs...... On my back in what looks like a wagon abit small as my legs somewhat hang out of it my large frame barely fitting in it. The sounds of screams are heard around me as I am taken into a cave in what looks like to be forest. Unable to speak I turn my head as a Midlander woman and a few others I cannot see from here pull on the small wagon. Its a small group most look to be hurt themselves but are well enough to walk. Something furry lands on my chest. "Kupoooo..." said the Moogle as it looked into my eyes with a sad smile and a soft voice. "You Highlanders always something to prove, always fighting......". I try to look at it and speak but the only sound that escapes from my bandaged face is that of air. "Please friend, rest, the world is in tatters right now as is you, we take you back to home right now, you and others, I fix fix you all" Days past, constantly my bandages are changed, I'm bathed and my wounds healed as best as they can with the limited resources of the cave and the others around me. A warm hand touches the side of my face and smiles. "My love we are safe, you got us out, and many of the others" I turn my head to look into the face of a Miqo'te woman. My eyesight is still a bit off so I am not able to really make out her features. An outline and a voice then nightmares of fires, screams and the wind. For the next few days I blink in and out of existence, the only thing awakening me is the constant pain from the burns, more of my feeling comes back and my leg is broken, but I still cannot move. My dreams are plagued with....that thing in the sky and the fire. Sometimes those in the cave have to hold me down as I attempt to scream from nightmares. The Miquo'te woman cries as she changes my bandages. I can also periodically hear the whispers of children: "I have never seen a Hyur Highlander as dark as he" says one child "He looks like a chocolate man! Is he made out of candy?" says a much younger voice Occasionally I can hear the flapping of their little wings and feel their fuzzy little hands on my arm. One time the youngest one thanked me. I have no idea why.... They say it took me nearly six months to recover. When you can barely get a grip on consciousness time no longer matters......

Could it be possible to have a IC thread for our characters? I'd be willing to put up a format if it gets stickied? And is there a server that everyone will be playing on? I'm sure even in the prelaunch some of us wouldn't mind hanging together and saying hello?

This is long overdue I'm actually quite excited to be here. I'm an old FF fan since the days of the NES and am really happy to be here. I'm also quite giddy over the FFVI love the game is getting. I've been rping in mmos since the days of Everquest and have always been curious about the rp in the FF mmorpg community. Honestly I've been quite impressed with what I've seen and experienced so far, so I'm just saying hello. I promise to give the best rp experience I can give to everyone as I love to entertain people with my characters. *Bows* thanks And by the way is there an IC introduction thread for characters? I seem not to be able to find it. Oh and is there a server the community will be using for rp at the moment?

Id also be interested in a forum rp as well.

Reese worships his ancestors and the strength of his own willpower and fists. If this were a superhero game he would be a Green Lantern. Besides there are twelve gods and Bahamut destroyed the world regardless, so why follow weaklings (In his eyes)

Ala Mhigo for Reese

Reese will be bisexual. He mainly is into women but will date a very effeminate pretty male and beautiful transgender. Most of the time he is what I like to call alpha-beta. He is an alpha male with beta male sensibilities and kindness. Does he have the male alpha ego- absolutely but he doesn't mind being rescued himself here and there and can get quite bored with arm candy that doesn't have anything else to offer. He also takes his male role seriously no matter the situation and will not deal with anyone romantically that has any masculinity to them. Again even if they are male they have to be so feminine and beautiful as well as feminine acting that they could get male attention. Reese is not the type to act like he is not interested in these cases as most alpha males would. The only race he would not date is Lalafell's unless they really impressed him from a personality standpoint. Same goes for any race larger than Hyurs. He himself is a Highlander.
