Jaakuna
___________________________________________________
18 || Al Bhed
___________________________________________________
Thief/Rouge | Bikenel Island | Two gauntlets with tonfa extracting blades
___________________________________________________
Fun-loving | Foolhardy | Impulsive | Lively
___________________________________________________
Appearance Details
Standing roughly at 68 inches, Jaakuna stands at a rather above-average height with a body type that's lean. Since he spends most of his free time roaming parts of the desert, it stands to reason his body isn't exactly bulky or curvy. And of course, much like his parents and siblings, he bears the classic golden shade most Al Bhed's do, though oddly enough, the emerald eyes skipped him and instead gave him eyes just like his hair. Clothes-wise, Jaakuna fahsions himself black pants and a red jacket with a hood. He always wears his gauntlets because, growing up in the desert, one may never know when they may need to fight.

Background
Born on Bikenel Island, Jaakuna, who was born to the name of Jykuna, was in fact born to Al Bhed leader, Lorenzo and his wife/soul mate, Karolina. Jaakuna was born just five minutes before his younger sister, Nadeline. Though the two are twins, anyone who spent five minutes with them will see they have quite the sibling relationship. He pesters her a lot, giving her headaches when he can and she retaliates by testing him at every chance she gets. Being so quick-tempered, sometimes it results in Jaakuna reacting in certain ways that may or may not result in obscenities. Despite all of this, however, when it comes right down to it the two have an unspoken, twin-like love that is likely the closest any pair of siblings may ever have.

When Jaakuna isn't bothering his sister, he really does like getting dirty with his hands. Being his father's son through in through, Jaakuna spends most of his free time (and even some of his official time) in his father's garage, helping out when he can and fixing - or, commonly in Jaakuna's case - breaking what Lorenzo or Nadeline just got done fixing. His real contributions have been, well, Jaakuna really doesn't have any real contributions to the Al Bhed tribe, but he does have a lot of energy and it's often best put to use by exploring the desert in search of whatever he could find to help the Al Bhed prosper, though sometimes it doesn't always seem like that.

Fighting Style
Jaakuna is a fighter without a doubt. His instincts are to fight. No matter how he may appear on the outside, this particular Al Bhed has the fighting spirit, but it is also one of a crafty nature. Jaakuna fights using tricks and speed to get the upper hand. Using his tonfa gauntlets, he is able to use his superior speed to deliver quick and precise strikes in a combination of acrobatics and slashes. He does have some minor magic talents, that which is based on speed alone (haste, slow, etc). He is practically useless against the fiends and enemies with heavy-duty armor, but against the lighter foes - and especially ariel foes - Jaakuna can be quite deadly.

When he really means business, Jaakuna unleashes his overdrive - A Rouge's Desire - upon enemies that ups his speed and strength to the highest levels they can go and he moves like a blur delivering strike after strike on foes that finishes off with a pulse of magic from the blades that deal a large, concussive force blast to the foes. It damages all foes.

Misc
Teasing his twin, younger sister is a frequent hobby of Jaakuna's. He knows she hates it and that's why he knows he'll always get a reaction out of her. Guaranteed success every time!

______________________________________
Wesley
___________________________________________________
19 || Human (with distant Al Bhed blood)
___________________________________________________
Red Mage/Summoner | Besaid Island | Mage Staff
___________________________________________________
Pacifistic | Well-mannered | Duitiful |
Heroic
___________________________________________________
Appearance Details
Wesley comes from a long line of lanky, above-average height men and women. As such, though he covers his thin figure under robes and cloths that befit a young man of his upbringing, Wesley stands roughly in the upper five-foot height with his weight certainly being appropriate for the skinny body he has. Island life has given him a decent amount of muscle mass, but unfortunately for Wesley, he doesn't get out much/doesn't find himself as one who particularly enjoys the long walks or exploring, the life that his friends happen to enjoy. That aside, Wesley looks is like any other Besaid Island native. He had long, dark hair that comes to a stop at the base of his shoulder. His eyes, much like his ancestor, Yuna, has a small percentage that is green because of his distant Al Bhed blood, but his eyes resemble the sky during a partly cloudy evening.

Background
It is not a secret that Wesley's bloodline is one of the oldest and most prestigious in all of Spira. Though he is not related to a Maester or has royal blood of the Guado, he is, however, a descendent of four of Spira's most famous heroes. On one side, he has the blood of High Summoner Braska and his daughter, High Summoner Yuna, coursing through his veins while famous guardians Jecht and his son, Tidus, make up the remaining side of Wesley's ancestry. Though several generations separate him and them, his upbringing and the way he carries himself would be best compared to Lord Braska.

Fighting Style
Though usually a pacifist, When Wesley does fight, he does so with intelligence, strategy, and from afar. As a spellcaster who doubles as a summoner, Wesley utilizes two forms of magic: the healing, purifying arts of white magic and the destructive, yet surprisingly orderly, arts of black magic. He casts spells with percision and focus, able to both deal damage that is appropriate to whomever or whatever he might face while also acting as support for his allies. His main weapon aside from the aeons he might be able to summon is his handy Mage's Staff. It is crafted from a special material found on Besaid that naturally enhances one's magical attack and defense while also granting temporary protection from magical attacks to those around him.

When Wesley is desperate and finds himself wanting to do the most damage, he activates a special inner-fire within him that, depending on the situation, has two forms.

The first of the two is his non-summoning overdrive known simply as Magical Fury. With this, Wesley is capable of dealing massive magical damage through the use of a rapid fire spellcasting. Depending on if he wants to cause damage or support, Wesley can either dig into the spells of black magic he knows or can mass-cast white magic spell that, when cast in the quantity of numbers, allow for a wider range of effects, resulting in the possibility of curing someone of multiple ailments, or saving them from certain death. Alternatively, those foes who may have the upperhand might find themselves at the brink of death due to Wesley's offense.

The second of the two of Wesley's Overdrive is known as High Summon It is the result of the connection between summoner and aeon coming to its fullest form as the power flowing through an aeon flows through the summoner as well. When Wesley summons, this aeon will feel his heart and will and devotion to the fayth and be able to unleash power it had not previously possessed without it having to gather the power needed on its own. With it at full strength, the aeon unleashes its own Overdrive and causes its own damage that no mere human, Al Bhed, Guado, or Ronso could ever be capable of.

Misc
Wesley is a devout believer in New Yevon. Despite the crimes of the past committed by those who claimed to believe in Yevon, Wesley has never lost faith. Yevon has corrected the mistakes of the past and has been on the right path for centuries. And like his predicessors before him, Wesley stayed true to his beliefs. He does this by praying daily.

______________________________________
Savayna
___________________________________________________
20 || Half-human with unknown other half
___________________________________________________
Lancer/Dragoon | Besaid Island | Lances and Spears
___________________________________________________
Sardonic | Witty | Observant |
Emotionally-Guarded
___________________________________________________
Appearance Details
Ever since she was a little girl, Savayna has often been complimented for her scarlet-colored hair and her emerald-colored eyes (not to be confused with the shade of green Al Bhed eyes are). Coupling that with her flawless complexion, Savayna grew from a very beautiful, if not somewhat spunky and attitude-fueled little girl, to a young woman with that attitude and fire with hair deeper than a mage's firaga and eyes greener than the fields of the Calm Lands. And paired with that came the body of a young woman with admirable curves, though she is relatively thin. She boasts a modest body with a lean tone all over. The downside to her thin stature and lean build is the lack of a height on her. Of everyone in her age group, Savayna is probably the shortest with her being closer to five feet than midway to it, though she does make up for it with her athleticism.

Savayna has a particular lean to wearing light armor comprised of either double-covered leather or light chainmail. It has a multi-seasonal resistance and, to her, it pairs well with her Hunting Lance. Since lighter armor means Savayna can move around more, she prefers it. The armor she's known for wearing specifically is carved from a mixture of white and blue leather dipped and coated in a special oil that gives it a glass-like shine. She also wears a half-helm that adds to her overall visage.

Background
Most of Savayna's life is unknown to her. She remembers a land full of blue-like creatures, but the rest seems to be blocked out for some reason. She was found outside of Besaid Village when she was just ten years old with a set of armor and supplies to craft it, a hunting spear with a note that read:

Please take care of her. She needs the help that we cannot provide.

The origins of whoever wrote that note, even to this day, remains a mystery to Savayna and at some point, she will set off on a journey of her own to find who wrote this note and find where she came from. No matter where it will lead her, she has made this vow to herself since she became aware of it five years ago. Since that day, she's been training, honing her magic and combat skills by taking lessons with Wesley's black magic teacher as well as joining the village's hunters on various trips and hunts so she will be well-equipped with the means to do whatever it took to find out where she came from.

Fighting Style
Savayna is likely one of the most versatile fighters of her age. Highly regarded as a prodigy, her fighting style is a brilliant combination of a unique form of dark ice magic that, when cast, creates various forms of a red ice element that is likely reflective of her spunky soul and her lean-to ice magic (she failed out on all the other classes of elemental magic). She combines the two in a nearly-flawless impressive display of a paladin-like skill of being able to combine physical abilities with magic, unlike anything Spira has seen. Whether its soloing with ice magic or thrusting/piercing/slashing with her spear/lance displays an uncanny ability to unleash quick, fast bouts of strength with little error, though, on the downside, Sav doesn't really do well against fire foes or those with extra-heavy-duty armor/skin. Her spear doesn't pierce through them and for the fire-types, her ice magic dissolves from the high temperatures.

When Savayna pushes her body to the absolute limits, she enters a state of borderline berserker's rage that is often called Vermillion Winter. It is a highly volatile and explosive overdrive that maximizes every aspect of Savayna's capabilities from her magic to the physical aspects of her entire being. In this state, Savayna holds up her spear as her red ice floats around it, turning the entire tip into a razor-sharp, crimson-colored blade of ice that, when she jumps up and stabs the ground, it sends a wave of ice magic through the ground, freezing it instantly and sending a quickly-moving wave of ice three yards around her in ever direction, freezing everything in its path.

It lasts for a total of ten seconds before breaking apart. Should it be powerful enough, it could cause permanent fractures int he ground and cause semi-permanent frostbite to living organisms. Others will simply be damaged severely.

Misc
Savayna takes her training just as seriously as she does her daily snarking of her friends. When she isn't practicing her daily training routines, she's giving people who may not even be her friend a hard time, though they know she only means it half the time. The rest is to just get a reaction out of them.

______________________________________
Shion
___________________________________________________
20 || Mixed heritage
___________________________________________________
Samurai ○ Dark Knight | Macalania | Longsword
___________________________________________________
Quiet | Serious | Determined | Adaptive
___________________________________________________
Appearance Details
The first thing people notice about Shion is her very long blue hair that she often keeps up in a ponytail, often adorned with a traditional clasp. The second thing is her eyes; colored amber with thick eyelashes, they look like they have the ability to look right through to the soul. Her height is average at 65 inches, her skin somewhat pale, her body toned. Her, ahem, assets are rather noteworthy, though don't be deceived; she was born for the battlefield. She wears a revealing, sleeveless robe decorated with black lace, a black and gold patterned cloth trailing behind her. She wears arm-length gloves with armor on her elbows and shin accompanied with sharp, violet heels.

Background
Her mother told her that the reason Shion exists was to bring about a change to Spira.

Born in Macalania, Shion's mixed heritage was one of ire. Her mother had been a mistress, driven away from her previous home but she found a second love from a Yevon Crusader named Ushio. From a young age Shion held an interest in the blade, her adoptive father all too happy to oblige. A talent for fighting as well as having an adaptive eye for constant changes made the girl a force to be reckoned with. Her independence was often a boon with her military father, and she ended up following in his footsteps once she became of age. Her prowess became infamous, earning her the title of 'The Violet Rose'.

Two years ago, Shion and Rio would meet for the first time. While the nature of their relationship was ambiguous, together they formed an elite squad within the Crimson Raiders along with two others. The squad eventually fell apart, the official reason stated as the squad was disbanded, but the actual reason was shrouded in mystery. Shion soon parted ways from both the Crusaders and Yevon, eventually going her separate way from Rio as well.

Shion has spent most of her days wandering Spira, although recent rumors of a new summoner being blessed by Yevon has driven her to find them for unknown reasons.

Fighting Style
Shion was born for the battlefield--and her skills show it.

The woman is peerless with the blade, her skills in battle well known throughout Spira. Her technique is refined, but where she shines is her quick line of thinking--in one fell swoop she determines her enemy's weakness and goes straight for it. Her abilities specialize in exploiting those weaknesses and work on weakening her opponents when raw power alone won't fell them. Her strength extends to her physical fortitude, able to take more than a few hits without slowing down. She is also able to heal herself and allies with white magic.

Should an opponent find the ability to bring her down, Shion has one fallback move up her sleeve - Zanmato - her strongest attack. Channeling energy to her blade, Shion becomes one with the land. A small, violet flower is taken out, the petals scattered around her by the wind. She takes a stance, a hand on the hilt of her blade as she waits for the last petal to touch the ground. Once it does, she withdraws her sword in a flash, quickly sheathing it. When the hilt hits the sheath again, the strike cuts through anything in its path.

Misc
Shion is not aware of who her birth father is, only knowing he is of Guado heritage. She does not like to speak of her time in the Crimson Raiders, having developed a disdain for Yevon as a whole. Her current goal is unclear, but the return of summoners has alarmed her somewhat--though not as much as her intimate knowledge of them.

18 || Al Bhed
___________________________________________________
Monk ○ Alchemist | Bikanel Island | Gauntlets
___________________________________________________
Authrative | Haughty | Mischevious | Polite
___________________________________________________


Appearance Details
Despite being on the shorter side of the height spectrum, it doesn't deter from her natural beauty--nor does it stop her from being threatening if the situation calls for it. Her brilliant, gold colored hair sits in several layers, pouring down her back. Her skin is somewhat on the fairer side and she possesses the typical green Al Bhed eyes. Her outfit consists of a deep-collared cream vest worn over a low cut black shirt; both are covered by a dark gray shrug with a raised collar, three-quarter sleeves adorned with a single black stripe down the outside of each sleeve, and gold cuffs. A black miniskirt is worn under the cream vest. A pair of crooked black belts with gold accents are slung around her hip, with a purple piece of fabric attached to the left-rear section of the lower belt. She wears thigh high stockings attached to her miniskirt by garter-belts on the front and back of each thigh, decorated with four golden studs above her knee and her emblem on the outside of each thigh in gold. She also wears black ankle boots with multiple buckles and white ribbons on the back tied in a bow. Around her neck is a purple pendant set in silver.

Background
As Jaakuna's younger sister, their upbringing was identical. Her days were often spent cleaning up after her brother, assisting her father whenever possible, and doing her own personal experiments. The girl was fascinated with explosions, often writing formulas and mixing ingredients in an effort to blow things up. Her expertise in fixing machine eventually became a necessity thanks to him constantly breaking her father's creations, though it has resulted in her knowledge expanding greatly thanks to Jaakuna's rather...unconventional ways.

She liked to spar with her brother plenty, even if she would often fight dirty just to gain the advantage (much to his ire) but she was often jealous that his range of magic was so much better than hers. Her relationship with her family is rather tight-knit, admiring her father's talents but wishing he took things more seriously, breaking up him and her brother anytime they argued.

Fighting Style
Nadeline has always liked to work with her hands, so it comes off as no surprise that she prefers close-quarter combat. Much like her brother, she is agile, often using magic to aide her movements. Where they differ is their opponents--Nadeline has little issue barreling through any enemy. Be they big or small, cracking enemy defenses with her powerful hits is her forte.

When push comes to shove and Nadeline gets serious, she triggers her Overdrive - Desert Blossom - putting all of her energy and willpower into one single, powerful blow that ignores all sorts of defense--physical, magical, and anything in between--and deals massive damage to an enemy. Alternatively, if she is feeling creative, Nadeline can whip up a concoction of her own original creation with Mix. What comes out varies depends on what she uses, but be warned--she tends to go for anything explosive.

Misc
Nadeline has very little talent for magic, much to her dismay. She secretly holds a lot of jealousy towards her brother for doing more than she could. Her thunder magic is basic, used mostly to power up machina or her gauntlets. She doesn't know how to swim, holding a fear for most bodies of water.

______________________________________
Rio
___________________________________________________
21 || Musician
___________________________________________________
Bard ○ Songstress | Kilika Island | Bow
___________________________________________________
Whimsical | Optimistic | Flirtatious | Unflappable
___________________________________________________
Appearance Details
A tall, somewhat lanky fellow, Rio is never seen without his signature, charming smile. His chestnut colored hair sits messily on his head, and he describes his eyes as 'golden brown like a sunset', despite them just being hazel colored. He dresses very casually, sporting a black and red kimono adorned with a dark sea-green sash that holds his quiver. His brown shoes don't look too comfortable, but he never complains. His kimono flows with him, his long sleeves never getting in the way of drawing an arrow or even playing any of his instruments. He hides a small flute in his sleeve, his gorgeously adorned lyre also coming from his sleeve, though it's speculated that he forms it through pyreflies.

Background
No one actually knows where Rio comes from, nor does he ever make any mention of it. He has no family to speak of, though he did once admit he was from Kilika, and the locals do recognize him, even if they can't remember who his parents were. A majority of his life was actually spent in Bevelle as a temple acolyte until he decided to join the Crusaders. Upon proving his skills in battle, he met Shion, and for him, it was 'love at first sight', though no one actually knew if she returned his feelings.

When their squad was disbanded, Rio and Shion stayed together for some time until Shion went her own way. Whatever happened that day haunts Rio, blaming himself for the disbanding, but he never says why. Despite his guilt he carries on, traveling through Spira as a wandering musician and performing in several places to make a living. He does unintentionally run into Shion, and while they have become civil, it's clear that their relationship--a previously intimate one--is shaky but cordial at best.

Fighting Style
Rio plays the role of support in battle, focusing more on aiding his teammates and providing covering fire. He wields a bow, covering a rather wide range as nothing is too far for him to hit, his frightening accuracy ensuring he always lands a hit. That being said he is always able to communicate their surroundings, making sure to keep an eye on the battle and assisting wherever he is needed most. His songs often grant passive buffs, ranging from resorting health and magic to powering up physical or magical attacks. His white magic is also fairly impressive.

Rio's Overdrive- Pulse of Life - is an absurdly powerful wave of magic that spreads through the battlefield, fully restoring all injuries and magic, and reviving any fallen allies and restoring them as well. The display of white magic is his strongest suit, firmly cementing his position as support as opposed to offense.

Misc
Rio is a very talented musician, playing a variety of instruments. His voice is extremely pleasant to hear, though he tends to try not to sing too much as he has been told it has a mesmerizing effect on people. His travels have let him become well-versed in Spira's locations and wildlife, though he has been thrown out of a bar or two due to causing a commotion. Said commotions may or may not be female related.
He started off his career as a healer before picking up a bow to better help his allies. He actually taught Shion how to use white magic and holds it over her head, much to her dismay.
