@A Common Hero@Corporal Lance A Freya and Cloud crossover would be very intriguing indeed!


Working on it!
@tsukune

Alright, thanks. Its just good to know what the situation is. Good luck!
So sorry if I missed something vital here. When is the game slated to start? I doubt Corporal Lance and I were supposed to start posting already of course, but is there a window we're waiting for? Sorry if I sound impatient.


Cloud and Freya now get Chad's stamp of approval! You two can transfer your application to the Characters tab, but @A Common Hero you don't need to copy-paste your entire commentary about spoiler warnings into the CS too. XD


Joyous celebrations!

But also yes, I can get weird about things like that sometimes.
NAME
Cloud Strife, Ex-SOLDIER

ORIGIN
Cloud is from the world of Gaia, a technically advanced planet where the energy of life itself can be harvested for the user’s gain. Cloud’s game of origin is Final Fantasy VII, and the characterization I will be using is drawn primarily from this source. However, he has also appeared in a supporting roles in Crisis Core and Dirge of Cerberus (but we don’t like to talk about that one).

MEMORIA

I typed this after the spoiler warnings I gave for my own stuff below, because it made me realize, "Hey, Final Fantasy VII is way cooler than anything I can write, it deserves spoiler tags too!" So if you haven't played Final Fantasy VII, and you're reading about things in this RP, um... go play FF VII. Yes it is massively over rated, anything that is treated as a divine gift from heaven like this game is will invariably be over rated, but that doesn't stop it from being very, very good. Anyway, most of the spoilers are for backstory information and not the main plot of the game itself, but still. You have been warned.



REPERTOIRE

Oh, I know you don't want stats information, but I do include a lot of talk of game mechanics in this section. I find the concept of "Gameplay and Story Integration" to be very interesting. The information is used is more or less there to try and find justifications for things from a story perspective, or to more accurately describe something.



NOTES

If you are the type who absolutely does not want spoilers for my part of this RP, you are warned. I guess.



VISION

This too! Talking about specific thoughts about the game can also lead to spoilers. Not that I believe anyone would be too torn up about spoiling my dumb fanfic of course.



SAMPLES

@tsukune

Impatient speed poster detected. Implementing disciplinary measures.

*indistinct electronic wailing*

OK, I'll stop now.
@Crimson Raven

Well to me there's a big difference between playing the games and reading a wiki. I'm not super worried about it though. Just slightly.
@tsukune
Thanks for the detailed response! From what I get, we seem to have a lot of freedom in this game, so I suppose I will just take things in the direction I was imagining a bit. It seems to be within the parameters. If you want greater details, I will PM you about it, but I wouldn't want to say in this public chat. I know I look forward to reading what other people post, so under the assumption others feel the same way I wouldn't want to spoil what I will be writing.

While I understand that we're not "reserving" characters, here are the people I'd be most interested in playing:

1) Cloud Strife (yes, someone had to choose this as their number one pick right? lol)

2) Tidus

3) Auron

I might also be interested in some villain roles. It is rather interesting as you say, for the reasons you say. In fact, there's a very good reason why most modern examples of amnesia as a major character point have the character in question being a "former" villain. There's a lot of drama to be had there. But until a decision comes down on that, I am more than content expressing a desire for one of these three.

I'm a little worried about my knowledge of FF in some cases. For these characters in particular, I've only played their main games (FFVII and FFX), and not their prequels/sequels (Crisis Core, X-2). So any character arc I develop would be based on how they are presented in those games alone. Still, I think I can be entertaining regardless.
So I'm interested in playing for sure here, but I'm slightly confused about a few things and mostly I feel I need to ask about them before I can decide what character I want to play as (or characters, I would probably give a list of who I would like to play as in order of desire in case someone else wants to play as one of the people I selected instead of me).

Firstly, what is the nature of the world of Celestia? Is it a solid, real place where our plots are fully ground in a firm setting? Or is this meant to be something of a spiritual landscape where the world conforms (beyond the veil of our character's perception) to the needs of our character's journey, even if such contortions rely on elements of the surreal? Or maybe it is different things to different people? I understand that there is the possibility of crossover even despite the mostly insular nature of the stories as proposed, so I get that Celestia is a real place in the sense that not everyone in it is a mental projection of some sort. Then again, so was Silent Hill.

Secondly, how much Amnesiac Dissonance are we meant to be looking at? Are our characters meant to be mostly the way they were at the end of their games/stories, but don't remember specifics about what happened? Do our characters revert to some previous state, but again with just a blank slate of memories? Can they be dramatically different than they were in canon? Might they have some kind of past in their heads that just isn't accurate to what happened in the games? Such as Auron just believing that his Journey with Braska was the final pilgrimage that brought peace to Spira, and that none of his friends died in vain? Or is this strictly a hard and fast, no memories at all amnesia?

Regardless this is a very interesting idea, and I'll definitely want to join. I assume positions are still available?
