[center]SOLDIER classes: [url=http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/SOLDIER?file=AngealCGModel-CrisisCore.png][SOLDIER 1st Class][/url] [url=http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/SOLDIER?file=SOLDIER-ccvii-2nd.png][SOLDIER 2nd Class][/url] [url=http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/SOLDIER?file=SOLDIER-ccvii-3rd.png][SOLDIER 3rd Class][/url][/center]

[color=gray][b]Crest of the Lion[/b][/color] It is the crest of the SOLDIER 1st Class that distinguishes them from others. The Crest of the Lion (or Lion Crest) represents Strength and Courage. The 1st Class SOLDIERs are responsible for the most important and dangerous missions. 1st Class SOLDIERs are given special privileges, such as the use of personal items, clothing, and equipment, as well as the right to deny orders assuming any responsibilities from their decisions.

[color=gray][b]Eagle Wings[/b][/color] The 2nd Class SOLDIERs have soared above their former 3rd Class rank. The Eagle Wings represent Resilience and Perseverance. The 2nd Class SOLDIERs are the best among their 3rd Class counterparts and only those distinguished enough ever rise to 1st Class. 2nd Class SOLDIERs are leaders in charge of squads of 3rd Class SOLDIERs and Shinra Troops.

[color=gray][b]The Sun Crest[/b][/color] The crest of the 3rd Class SOLDIER. The Sun Crest represents Passion and Beginning. 3rd Class SOLDIERs are at the beginning of their potential. 3rd Class SOLDIERs perform duties that support the Shinra Troops and their 2nd Class leadership.

SOLDIER is the elite fighting force of the Shinra Electric Power Company. Its members are advanced super soldiers with superhuman strength, speed, and ability. They are much stronger than the Shinra Peacekeeping Troops and the Turks recognized by the [i]glow[/i] of Mako in their eyes. Shinra uses SOLDIER for special missions that require the greatest use of force. SOLDIERs in and of themselves are Shinra industrial secrets, and to prevent information from leaking outside the company walls, it is difficult for SOLDIERs to retire. Even if they are allowed to quit, the company would monitor their subsequent actions. Even if they believe they have evaded surveillance, Shinra will follow them for the remainder of their lives, and if the situation calls for it, have them terminated.

Children around the planet dream of joining SOLDIER and becoming 1st Class like several of the 1st Class SOLDIERs already known. To further increase the organization’s popularity, and as a propaganda tool, Shinra has created fan clubs for many of the 1st Class SOLDIERs.

[hider=Character Sheet Details & Explanation]
[center]The Crest will go here. I don’t have Photoshop, so if you are a person gifted with graphic design and you like this game, then feel free to make the group better crests. Until then though, the crests posted above will do. You will post the crest above your character’s profile to designate the rank you wish to have. If you choose 1st Class, then know that 1st Class SOLDIERs have the most fashion freedom. No other SOLDIERs do. They wear the standard uniform. If you choose to play a 2nd Class SOLDIER, then if anyone ever plays 3rd Class SOLDIERs, then your character will be in charge of them. Your character will be their leader and superior. Those who wish to play 3rd Class SOLDIERs enjoy character development. I look forward to seeing your character’s growth throughout the game.[/center]
[center]Character Image goes here. Please avoid using artwork from reputable anime. I do not want to see Ichigo from Bleach in this game, a ninja from Naruto, or a pirate from One Piece. Look for Digital or Original art only if you can. You do not need to have a picture. Regardless, your writing will determine what the writer sees.[/center]
[h3]Name[/h3]
[indent]This is where you will write your character’s name. You can use some fan-surnames such as “Highwind, Fair, Strife, etc.” or even surnames from other Final Fantasy games “Leonheart, Tribal, Cole, etc.” but remember that you are role playing an original creation. I would like for everyone to use a little bit of game culture such as a lot of the characters from Wutai were the ones who commonly had Asian names. You can use 1001fonts.com if you want to use fancy headers for your character’s name. Feel free to jazz-up your profile however you like with character quotes, poetry, youtube videos, etc.[/indent]
[h3]Age[/h3]
[indent]No children or grandparents please 18-40 y/o.[/indent]
[h3]Date of Birth[/h3]
[indent]Refer to the Game Timeline to plan a date.[/indent]
[h3]Gender[/h3]
[indent]Male or Female.[/indent]
[h3]Height[/h3]
[indent]There’s a trend where a lot of people like to make six-foot-ridiculous characters. I do not want giants in this game unless you PM me and tell me that being a giant has significance to the character’s concept. I am putting the height floor at 5’0” and height ceiling at 6’5”.[/indent]
[h3]Weight[/h3]
[indent]Self-explanatory.[/indent]
[h3]Hair Color[/h3]
[indent]The hair can be any color of the rainbow with crazy highlights. It can be long, short, buzzed, faddish, etc. Pigtails, ponytails, dreadlocks, etc. You can freely describe the hair colors and hair style in this section if you want.[/indent]
[i]I skipped Eye Color because all SOLDIERs have Mako blue-green eyes.[/i]
[h3]Written Description[/h3]
[indent]This is the overall description of your character from hair, build, skin complexion, tattoos, scars, clothing and accessories. You do not have to detail your character’s weapons. You will be able to do that below. Because your character has been imbued with the DNA of summons, they may show similarities in physical characteristics such as having a Moogle ball above their head if they were imbued with Mog or scales along their skin if imbued with Leviathan. These aren’t extreme characteristics. You're not making an anthropomorph.[/indent]
[h3]Personality[/h3]
[indent]As you write a general explanation of your character’s personality, mention 3 things they like, which can be like their favorite things: cats, apples, fishing, etc. Also mention 3 things they dislike. If they have any silly habits such as nail-biting, leg-shaking, knuckle-cracking, etc. You can mention those to if you want. I’m just offering ideas. Also, if they're a 1st Class SOLDIER what do they think of their fan club? If they're a 2nd Class SOLDIER, how is their relationship with their troops? If they're a 3rd Class SOLDIER what are their goals for personal growth?[/indent]
[h3]Background[/h3]
[indent]Some of you will probably go into depth in this section. Some of you may not. Before beginning this section, consider discussing prior relations with other writers who are also interested in this game. Maybe your character and another writer’s character were in the same village? Maybe you both decided to join SOLDIER together and have been rivals all this time? I will open a discord chatroom to make discussing these things easier for everyone. You do not have to have relations, but it does build story between characters. The main topics to answer here are: Why did your character join SOLDIER? How did your character reach the rank he or she is now? Does your character have an alias that other SOLDIERs know him or her as? Is your character loyal to Shinra or is their loyalty beginning to wane?[/indent]
[h3]Summon Genome[/h3]
[indent]The DNA of what summon was imbued in your character? You just state the summon's name here. You don't have to pick a summon solely from Final Fantasy 7. You can use any summon as long as it has a clear-cut spell or skill list.[/indent]
[h3]Weapon[/h3]
[indent]I don’t want every SOLDIER wielding the same exact weapon. Understand that there are different types of weapons at different sizes and lengths often defined using the words “great, long, or short.” You can only have ONE weapon unless it is a dual weapon. The weapon doesn't even have to be a traditional weapon. Your character could wield a fan, yo-yo, club, bat, shovel, etc. But ONE weapon. Choose wisely. SOLDIERs are capable of martial arts as Zack demonstrated in the Crisis Core anime movie. Hand-to-hand fighting can be claimed as a sole weapon. In this section if your weapon has a name, then state it. Describe the weapon. How long is it? How heavy is it? How many materia slots does it have (this is in relation to how many materia skills your character has)? How many rounds does it hold max? How fast does it fire those rounds? How many magazines does your character normally carry as spare? Are there any distinct designs on the weapon? Again, I’m giving you food for thought.[/indent]
[h3]Materia[/h3]
[indent]The materia you list here is related to the summon you chose. For all characters who have chosen a summon with “Instant Death,” Instant Death will not work on Mini Boss or Boss enemies. They can work on minions since many minions will be cannon fodder, but you cannot one-shot a boss. Sorry. Reference a Final Fantasy wikia to get some ideas for the materia and spells the summon uses. You should not have more than 5 skills here.[/indent]
[h3]Limit Break[/h3]
[indent]The limit break is a powerful combat move and usually the character's most damaging move. While in the game, there are many different ways to activate a limit break, in this RP there are two: 1) your character takes 10 consecutive damaging hits from an enemy or another player (yes, another player can help your character limit break but it's dangerous), and 2) if a mini boss or boss nearly kills your character, they get a "second wind" which is his or her limit break. Give your limit break a name. It doesn't have to be themed around your SOLDIER's summon genome. It is just a signature attack or move. Describe how the attack or move is performed. Does it attack a single target? Does it attack multiple targets and if so, how many? Is it a support ability that aids the party? Describe it.[/indent][/hider][hr]

[indent]The Turks act similarly to an intelligence agency or investigative bureau, engaging in reconnaissance and espionage, or even black ops, including kidnappings and assassinations, on behalf of the corporation. They are consummate professionals, adhering to the mission no matter what. Due to the nature of their job, members are privy to numerous company secrets, and as such, become security risks should they resign.

They are well-known for wearing business suits even when immersed in bloody combat. Unlike the Shinra military, Turks wield various weapons—ranging from katana to fire arms to shuriken to martial arts—each operative specializing in one type of combat, and being capable of augmenting their weapon up to 3 materia slots. Like all character roles in this game, they too have limit breaks.

Currently, the leader of the Turks, the Head of the Investigative Division and General Affairs is an open role that can be claimed by a writer. If a writer does claim this role for him or herself, then I would want there to be an alternate in case the writer disappears.[/indent]

[hider=Turk Character Sheet Details & Explanation]
[h3]Name[/h3]
[indent]You can use http://www.1001fonts.com/ to get fancy headers like the ones you see me use in designing this game. You can use them to jazz up your character's profile. Turks can have a full name or they can be named after their weapon of choice such as "Knife" or "Nunchaku." It sounds silly but these were actual names in the game.[/indent]
[h3]Age[/h3]
[indent]No children or grandparents please 18-40 y/o.[/indent]
[h3]Date of Birth[/h3]
[indent]Refer to the Game Timeline to plan a date.[/indent]

[h3]Eye Color[/h3]
[indent]These are natural colors unless your character wears contacts. If they wear glasses, mention them here as well.[/indent]
[h3]Written Description[/h3]
[indent]This is the overall description of your character from hair, build, skin complexion, tattoos, scars, clothing and accessories. You do not have to detail your character’s weapons. You will be able to do that below. As a Turk, when on duty you have the usual unisex business suit. The colors are always dark colors from navy-blue to black. If you're role playing a female, you can choose the character having heels instead of dress shoes but all Turks where dress pants.[/indent]
[h3]Personality[/h3]
[indent]As you write a general explanation of your character’s personality, mention 3 things they like, which can be like their favorite things: cats, apples, fishing, etc. Also mention 3 things they dislike. If they have any silly habits such as nail-biting, leg-shaking, knuckle-cracking, etc. You can mention those to if you want. I’m just offering ideas. If they aren't the Head of the Turk Department, let us know what your character thinks about the department head. This is optional if we don't have a head for the department.[/indent]
[h3]Background[/h3]
[indent]Some of you will probably go into depth in this section. Some of you may not. Before beginning this section, consider discussing prior relations with other writers who are also interested in this game. Maybe your character and another writer’s character were in the same village? Why did your character choose to become a Turk? Did they also qualify for the SOLDIER program and just decided against it? Just offering some ideas.[/indent]
[h3]Weapon[/h3]
[indent]What is your Turk's primary weapon? I don't count the weapons already taken by SOLDIER members. The Turks are treated separately. However, I don't want every Turk wielding the same weapon as another Turk. nderstand that there are different types of weapons at different sizes and lengths often defined using the words “great, long, or short.” You can only have ONE weapon unless it is a dual weapon. The weapon doesn't even have to be a traditional weapon. Your character could wield a fan, yo-yo, club, bat, shovel, etc. But ONE weapon. Choose wisely. A Turk's weapon can hold up to three materia.[/indent]
[h3]Materia[/h3]
[indent]You can place whatever materia you want here. You only get three to include their maxed out forms such as Bolt, Bolt 2, Bolt 3. These would still be considered 1 materia "Bolt." Again, you get 3 slots.[/indent]
[h3]Limit Break[/h3]
[indent]The limit break is a powerful combat move and usually the character's most damaging move. While in the game, there are many different ways to activate a limit break, in this RP there are two: 1) your character takes 10 consecutive damaging hits from an enemy or another player (yes, another player can help your character limit break but it's dangerous), and 2) if a mini boss or boss nearly kills your character, they get a "second wind" which is his or her limit break. Give your limit break a name. Describe how the attack or move is performed. Does it attack a single target? Does it attack multiple targets and if so, how many? Is it a support ability that aids the party? Describe it.[/indent][/hider][hr]

[indent]The Security Department is in charge of the non-Mako-infused troops - The Shinra Troops. They make up majority of Shinra's military force, and are deployed more often than SOLDIER. This department has a rivalry with SOLDIER and extends challenges in the form of training sessions. The Security Department is a fallback for SOLDIERs deemed unfit to undergo Mako infusion. Within this department exists The Roboguard who was remote piloted as well as manually piloted by operators from the inside.[/indent]

[color=gray][h3][b][u]Rank System[/u][/b][/h3][/color]
[indent]The FF7 verse labels Shinra Troops as they would minions; therefore, the troops don't have a legit rank system. For this game, if the Shinra Troop are infantrymen, then use standard U.S. Army ranks. We're not going to go specifically into rank details. It'll be simple, [b]Private[/b] and [b]Sergeant[/b]. Their superior is the SOLDIER 2nd Class. If they are a Roboguard Operator it'll be [b]Guardsman [/b]and [b]Elite Guardsman[/b]. If we need to go into Navy or Air Force terms, then we'll worry about that if it ever comes up.[/indent]

[hider=Shinra Troop Character Sheet Details & Explanation]
[h3]Name[/h3]
[indent]You can use http://www.1001fonts.com/ to get fancy headers like the ones you see me use in designing this game. You can use them to jazz up your character's profile. Shinra Troops just have any ol' name.[/indent]
[h3]Age[/h3]
[indent]No children or grandparents please 18-40 y/o.[/indent]
[h3]Date of Birth[/h3]
[indent]Refer to the Game Timeline to plan a date.[/indent]
[h3]Gender[/h3]
[indent]Male or Female.[/indent]
[h3]Height[/h3]
[indent]There’s a trend where a lot of people like to make six-foot-ridiculous characters. I do not want giants in this game unless you PM me and tell me that being a giant has significance to the character’s concept. I am putting the height floor at 5’0” and height ceiling at 6’5”.[/indent]
[h3]Weight[/h3]
[indent]Self-explanatory.[/indent]
[h3]Hair Color[/h3]
[indent]Natural hair colors. Shinra Troops don't get much freedom to dye and style their hair in fancy ways.[/indent]
[h3]Eye Color[/h3]
[indent]These are natural colors unless your character wears contacts. If they wear glasses, mention them here as well.[/indent]
[h3]Rank[/h3]
[indent]Infantry: Private or Sergeant; Roboguard: Guardsman or Elite Guardsman.[/indent]
[h3]Written Description[/h3]
[indent]Shinra Troop are pretty military. They wear the standard Shinra Troop uniform with a helmet and scarf.
 When off-duty, yes, they can wear normal clothes.[/indent]
[h3]Personality[/h3]
[indent]As you write a general explanation of your character’s personality, mention 3 things they like, which can be like their favorite things: cats, apples, fishing, etc. Also mention 3 things they dislike. If they have any silly habits such as nail-biting, leg-shaking, knuckle-cracking, etc. I’m just offering ideas.What are your character's goals?[/indent]
[h3]Background[/h3]
[indent]Some of you will probably go into depth in this section. Some of you may not. Before beginning this section, consider discussing prior relations with other writers who are also interested in this game. Maybe your character and another writer’s character were in the same village? Why did your character choose to become a Shinra Trooper? Did they qualify for the SOLDIER program and just decided against it? Just offering some ideas.[/indent]
[h3]Weapons[/h3]
[indent]Shinra Troops can have as many weapons on their person as deemed logical by Rule of Cool. These are standard military weapons. This is a fantasy game. Make them up.[/indent]
[h3]Mecha[/h3]
[indent]This is an optional category. If your character is not apart of the Roboguard, then ignore this section. Just delete it and don't even include it in your profile. However, if your character is a Roboguardsman, then you need to detail your robot here. I'm expecting some pseudoscience made up shit. What weapons does it have? How tall is it? Is it quadrupedal or bipedal? What are all of its functions? Does it fly? Does it climb? Is it fast? You should be able to answer all of these questions. You can finally give your Mecha a name.[/indent]
[h3]Materia[/h3]
[indent]The materia for the Shinra Troop is pretty locked tight. The materia will be Seal, Bio, and Time for all Shinra Troops.[/indent]
[h3]Limit Break[/h3]
[indent]The limit break is a powerful combat move and usually the character's most damaging move. While in the game, there are many different ways to activate a limit break, in this RP there are two: 1) your character takes 10 hits from an enemy or another player (yes, another player can help your character limit break but it's dangerous), and 2) if a mini boss or boss nearly kills your character, they get a "second wind" which is his or her limit break.
