The Youth League, New Yevon and the Machine Faction have joined together to build a better Spira together after their differences twenty or so years before. Because of this, Spira has exploded with lost technology, airships are more common now, public transport ships are available for travel, Blitzball spheres are now in every town, it is still the one sport that brings Spira together every year. The two biggest are located in Luca and Zanarkand. Though the use of temples are obsolete now, former guardians and summoners had petitioned the leader of New Yevon, Baralai, and the Spiran council to make the temples a historical monument, replacing the holes with replicas of the Fayths that once were housed there. Although they are museums now essentually, the Fayths chambers as well as the Cloister of trails is still off limits to the public because of the fiends that have found their way in. All the small towns and villages have grown in the last twenty five years of the eternal calm, as people have abandoned all of the tiny villages spread acrossed Spira for a more easy and safe life within the larger town/cities protection. Besaid is one of the villages that has not grown as much as the other cities, but has incressed it's population three fold. It still has a feel of a small town, despite it's new addition of a Blitz Sphere. Ever since their first win after a ten year losing streak twenty five years before, The Besaid Aurochs have been a top compeditor with the Luca Goers, and when the Zanarkand Abe's were created by Tidus ten years before, they quickly became rivals. Our story begins in the humble Village of Besaid, like many other stories. The Blitzball tournament is starting and now because of the easy travel, fans of each team go to their teams home town to follow them back to Luca. Then on to Zanarkand this year for the finals. A group of friends and strangers shall meet here and be thrown on an unexpected journey to save Spira them from their Sin once more... [hider=The Story So far...] After a five year voyage, Gippal and Urick have at last returned to the island of Besaid in hopes for Gippal to rejoin the Besaid Aurochs after Vidina, the star forward of the blitzball team had broken his leg. During their reunion with childhood friends Naisha and Alex, they headed to the temple when a mysterious girl with snow white skin snuck into the cloister of trials; a forbidden venture. Making haste, the reunited friends bolted in after her (in the process, they too were breaking the temples law.). They soon caught up with her and as a strange hum resounding through the temple, the mysterious girl revealed unatural powers over ice, blocking their path before fleeing deeper into the temple. After breaking through the ice and catching once again in the Chamber of Fayth only to find another girl, whom Gippal and Urick knew as Eva, a girl who had lost her memories and had traveled for two years with the two men, to regain them. The hymn of the Fayth once again sang as the soul who inhabited the fayth had apparently some how returned to it. Valfore revealed herself to Gippal, Eva, Urick and the mysterious woman, and accepted Eva as it's summoner. She then told the mysterious woman, whose name was revealed to be Saina, to protect Eva on her pilgramage as a guardian, and that Saina was to head to Macalania temple. The next day, a major Blitzball game to start the season began between the Besaid Aurochs and Zanarkand Abes. However, in the middle of the game the stadium was attacke., The massive machine's arch that held the sphere was blown in two, causing it to crash down on the stadium. As soon as the dust had settled a man began to speak, preaching unto the survivors about how lazy they have become and they needed Sin to return. This man was named Thane, and had been chasing Eva, Gippal and Urick for the two years they had travelled together for some ritual he had to complete. He introduced a new Aeons, a dark one which possessed Naisha and turned her against her friends and attacked the other innocent bystanders. During this, powerful fiends were also released into the stadium as well. Near the end of the fight, Naisha was almost killed due to an attack from Saina to stop her from hurting everyone. Thane retreated once he realized he couldn't get to Eva, shocked to find the original aeons had returned. After everyone was healed, Alex and Naisha were allowed to join as guardian's due to Gippal's ties to them in his childhood. Another man, named Maximus, who was the nephew of Auron came forth wanting to help stop Thane from bringing back the corrupted religion of Yevon. Secretly, He wondered if Saina could be his long lost sister whom had dissappeared almost thirty years ago despite the fact that she seemed far younger than his sister would truly currently appear today. A man named Sifen, a thief who had threatened the life of Naisha by trying to steal a medical droid working on her wounds from the stadium, was dragged into becoming a guardian with out realizing why as he promised to make it up to Eva for causing trouble. That night the last boat to Luca set sail, the entire group on board and eager to begin Eva's pilgramage to gather the aeons and stop Thane from ressurecting Sin. In the middle of the night, their ship was attacked by a large squid fiend. The group fought it, as well as other fiends to protect the ship, but ultimately failed as their ship was destroyed, casting the party into the sea, and having them all wash up on Kilika Island separated into two groups. It didn't take long for them to find each other, but not after Sifen losing his arm due to infection, as well both he and Maximus becoming high after escaping a group of poachers/drug dealers. After they all made their way to the city of Kilika, Eva, once realizing where she was finally, had a nervous breakdown with Gippal having to explain that this had occurred before without knowing the reason as to exactly why it did. The group went to the temple to find a room for her to calm down, while Alex went to find rooms for the rest of them to stay in. Naisha followed after her, fearing her disfigurement would make her unwelcome in the temple. Whilst wandering around Kilika, she was attacked by a supposedly random person, who called her a Fiend and threw a rock at her head. Alex had saw this and threatened the man to try something, choking him as she did. Evnetually, she did let him go to tend to Naisha. Not long after, Alex, Naisha and Urick (who had come to check on them) were approached by the local Youth League who had been given orders to arrest them. Evidently the man that assaulted Naisha and had been choked by Alex was none other than the mayor of Kilika's son. When the females resisted arrest, Captain Lenora, who had been overseeing the matters personally, turned violent and forcibly subdued them. Word spread, causing those that had been resting at the temple to make way for the Youth League headquarters immediately to get to the bottom of what had happened. After much debate, the prisoners have been set free with the exception of Naisha receiving a white band for her terrorist screamings she had let loose during the arrest, and Alex a red band on account of her murderous attempts to subdue the mayors son. Gippal has officially reached his wits end, and yelled at the two women for their impeding of Eva's progress as a summoner. To date, Eva has received Valefore as a summon.

[/hider] [hider=(Captain) Lenora Dela Rosa Velory] Notable Parents: None Name: (Captain) Lenora Dela Rosa Velory Age: 28 Sex: Female Hair Color: Blonde Eye color: Blue Appearance: [img]http://static.zerochan.net/Olivier.Mira.Armstrong.full.1865517.jpg[/img] Weapon: Lightning Gauntlets Any Armor: Armored "Hermes" boots in the same style as the gauntlets. When imbued with her lightning, it vastly improves her speed to the point of being unable to see her movements, when she desires. Biography: Lenora grew up in the high society of Bevelle with the silver spoon in her mouth. Her family was very much about presenting themselves as proper, often dressing up their daughter in very frilled clothing and taking the time to teach her proper manners. Born to merchant nobles specializing in shipments of wine, Lenora was given several opportunities growing up that put her ahead of most other children. However, she always felt her life was a bit lacking between harp lessons and learning to ride chocobo's in a ladylike fashion. When Lenora turned 19, her beloved Uncle Tarric's estate was attacked, two very precious bottles of wine stolen and his body was found at the foot of the Bevelle temple's massive tower--assumed to be a suicide--Lenora placed her life of high society away to swear revenge on the thugs that destroyed her Uncle's life, doubting that he would have ever ended his own. With a vengeance, Lenora enlisted into the military and spent three years training heavily with different types of weaponry; finding lightning gauntlets to be suiting her most. For once in her life she felt she had truly started living, taking down any that dared oppose her leaders and quickly soared through the ranks, gaining national recognition for her heroism at the age of 26 for directly killing an assassin going after the Leader of Spira, Baralai. She was personally promoted to captain of the Kilika Division of the Youth League by the Meyvn himself when she declined a higher role, fearing it would take too much time away in her neverending hunt for the people that killed her Uncle. To date, she's one of the younger captains to ever have her position but she wears it well. Whenever going home for a vacation, she's well met by her proud family and always urged by her mother to add more femininity to her attire. She always listens to her parents advice and practices a few of the many talents she picked up during her youth to this day; having never looked down on them in the first place. Personality: Lenora is a tough, no nonsense woman with absolute passion for her job and a tolerance level of zero. She's mildly racist; lightly talking down to Spiran's of different skin color, race or species; but she's never let her prejudice get in the way of her job or treating others with the fairness of trial. Her temper is like a quiet storm brewing just beneath the skin, and when she's not expressing it through verbal abuse or intense commands, she uses it to fuel the pure joy she feels in combat and her career. When not at work, Lenora enjoys drinking for the sake of competition and can hold her liquor quite well in her old age. A fun fact about her is that she loves to watch blitzball and has a tendency to become a bit of a fangirl over the men she finds attractive... which aren't many. She adores her family and always takes the time to bring gifts home to them whenever she visits.

He runs with his partners in crime, Treba and Twi, but his official relationship with them is at this time unknown. Seems most 'professional' out of the three. Personality: Durza, for as intelligent as he looks, is really quite slow. He gives off a sleazy air around women with the exception of his partners in crime.

That being said, he is known to express himself in rather simple ways.
