The start of another school year, but it was the same generic bullshit: wake up at an ungodly hour, get dressed, take a shower — all of that blah blah nonsense that Jade Taylor hated with a passion. First off, she was not a morning person, so let that be clear from the start. Added to the fact that, when she went to do her business(shower), there was no hot water, so she had to settle for lukewarm water. Usually that wouldn’t be a problem, but keep in mind Jade was normally cranky, but having to wake up too early made her especially cranky.

And, of course, let us not forget to mention how, when she went to get something to eat, all there was, waiting for her, was a simple bowl of oatmeal and a note from her guardians:

Your dad and I had to work, but here’s some oatmeal. Have a great day at school.

Love Uncle Charlie and Uncle Veronica.

So yeah, Jade’s not having a very good morning so far.

And, oh would you look at that? She’s running late.

Fuck me.

There was no time for her to make sure she was looking pretty. Not that Jade is the type of girl to give a damn about that kind of thing. She pretty much threw on the first decent outfit her eyes saw in her mess of a room. It didn’t matter if it matched. As long as she had a shirt, pants, and shoes, Jade didn’t give any fucks if it made her look like a bum(it did).

Before long, Jade was out the door, and en-route to Wentworth High School. She made her out of her neighborhood. She took a shortcut about halfway that cut right through a shady part of the same neighborhood that would divide the time that it would take her to get there by almost twenty percent. It usually would take her twenty minutes - max - to get there, but now she would get to the school in less than ten minutes.

And when she did, she knew that she was running really late - so much so that no one was in the front. There wasn’t a single student waiting for the bell or anything. Safe to say Jade’s going to be adding yet another tardy to her obviously perfect attendance. It’s not like she’s a few tardies from getting an on-campus suspension or anything.

Yeah right. If you believe that, then you’re a bigger idiot than I thought.

After taking a moment to just take in the sights, Jade decided to finally enter the school. She went to the office, said she woke up late. She got a tardy slip after getting told that one more tardy and she has three days of on-campus suspension. She scowled as she pocketed the slip, and made her way to whatever class she had at the moment. According to her schedule, that was English.

She could always catch up on her sleep.

A few minutes of walking down the hallway, Jade would find herself in the classroom. And based on what was happening, it was in perfect timing, for the old fart himself seemed to just finish assigning groups. And as she looked to the blackboard, she saw that her name was under the group known as “Lies, Betrayal, and Treachery”. She just looked at it with what could only be described as a variant of resting bitch face.

“Well that’s just fucking wonderful.” Jade scowled, looking at who her partners were. “So, where are these fuckers anyway?”

Time Stops For Fire(Altered Tundra and Hero)

Several minutes and paces were spent scouting the ruined streets of Archades and all that Jaakuna was able to find out was that a heavy battle raged on about three hundred paces away from him. The amount of mist that surrounded it was so thick that, even as far away as Jaakuna was, he felt as if he was watching it from the front row. What two powerful warriors had to been fighting to create such a strong mist field?

Exodus has been summoned.

“Yeah, I got that.”

Then I’m sure you’re aware that Hamut is fighting someone with high enough mist that they would rival that Shion in pure force.

That sent chills down Jaakuna’s spine. To think that someone within Archades that was strong enough to hold their own against not only one of the strongest warriors in all of Ivalice, but able to do so while Exodus was fighting beside Hamut...that was just unheard of. What kind of person was this?

Actually, that was exactly what Jaakuna was going to do. Of course, if it hadn’t been for a familiar voice suddenly speaking from behind him, he would have taken to a full sprint.

“Says the woman with the injured arm.” Jaakuna snickered as he took notice to Shion’s hand and how it was blatantly obvious that she overexerted herself. Of course, even if he could tell that she wasn’t in the best of shape and if he asked, she wouldn’t confirm it. Knowing her like he did, Shion would brush past it, and move the topic onto more pressing matters.

And as much as Jaakuna would like to talk about what was going on with Shion’s poor attempt at covering up her arm, there was no time for that; not when there was a major battle raging on not far away from where they were standing.

After a moment of awkward silence had passed, Jaakuna would cough slightly, then his emerald eyes would look to Shion, who from where he stood, seemed awfully tense, as if something was bothering her. After all this time that Jaakuna had known her, he couldn’t help but sense that about her.

“So, what’s wrong? I’ve seen that look on people’s faces before, so something is obviously troubling you. And, if I recall, you did say you had something to tell me when we met up in the dungeons.” Jaakuna said, catching Shion’s glance. “Yeah, I know - I actually pay attention. Who would have thunk it?” Jaakuna found himself laughing at his own surprise. He was actually maturing somewhat. “So, out with it, Shion!”

As the plan had been decided, Dominic pondered on what to do. Well, that wasn’t entirely true. He knew what he was going to do, but there was still the matter of all of the shit that was going on. He heard that loud boom a few minutes ago, which made him extra curious about who might’ve caused it and what exactly was going on. It put worry on his face when he noticed that it came from the direction that Shion had run off to, so that gave him extra incentive to go after her. If not for his own sake, then for the fact that he’s curious as all hell.

“You bet your ass I’m going with you.” Dominic slammed his fists together, grinning.

“I suppose you have made up your mind, haven’t you, Dom?” Shinto mused, looking conflicted.

“Yes I have. Shion might need our help, so I’m going to do everything that I can to provide that help.”

“I’m glad to hear it,” Shinto said, “then I won’t feel as bad for choosing to accompany the Empress and Roman.”

“But Shinto —”

“But nothing. You and I have different ideas of what we need to do in this mess. You have your path that you must take and I have mine. But don’t fret, my brother, we will meet again, as long as you don’t get too reckless, and die.” Shinto said with a snickering grin.

“How can I possibly die when I have my little sister waiting for me at home?” Dominic reminded Shinto.

“Ah, yes, little Nila. Then, I suppose, you’ll have to be more careful than you usually are. Hopefully you can do that.”

Dominic scowled, then he turned to face Lorenzo. “Let’s go princey! Our friends aren’t going to save themselves.”

And with that, Dominic took off to one direction, leaving Lorenzo behind. Shinto shook his head, and looked to the Emperor and Empress. “Well, shall we?”

Wesley stood there. Frozen. His eyes staring at his own hands, obviously shaking from the thoughts going through his mind. The way the voice spoke to him, the way it reminded him of his brother was — well, it was uncanny. The tone, the way it had an identical Dalmascan Accent to him, the endearing way it spoke Wesley’s name — there was no doube in his mind that it was Sylvester’s voice.

...But how?

As Wesley tried to come to grips of that, he...just couldn’t find himself to stop shaking. The memories were coming back in full: his brother dying in his arms, his last words to him, how everything in those last moments shook him to his very core and how, regardless if it was a trick or it was actually his brother.

FFIX | Zidane Tribal

"The sly eagle doesn't kill at whim."

A P P E A R A N C E

Zidane is a boy of less-than-average height with a fair complexion. His hair is sandy brown and rather lengthy. He loops it in a series of ponytails. His eyes have a sapphire hue to them; almost as if they sparkle like a real sapphire stone. His body type is very lean for his age, which is easily explainable by how much he runs and likes to move around. So, it’s no wonder he has the body type that he has.

This boy dresses quite peculiar.Zidane fashions himself with a sleavelese, white shirt, and a dark teal vest. He wears a pair of blue pants and brown shoes that have been cozied with his feet for a few years now, so it’s no surprise that they have some wear and tear to them. Regardless of that, though, they still have a fair amount of walking left in their soles. He also wears a series of belts as some sort of fashion statement.

P E R S O N A L I T Y

Usually wild and carefree, Zidane Tribal is a boy of endless energy. If it’s not seeking adventure nearby, then it’s jumping off of high ledges that would give his mother a heart attack. Zidane is a constant-thrillseeker, often citing that he would love to see the world one day. He sees his little town and can’t help but feel there’s a lot more out there for him - a lot of the world he hasn’t seen. Oceans, other towns, the sea - everything that could ever exist, Zidane wants to see.

Now let’s talk about his issue with the ladies. He promises, honest to god, that he isn’t a womanizer. Or a skirt-chaser. It just so happens that whenever he’s near a girl of any age(within reason), he can’t resist the urge to be a little…friendly with them. Nevertheless, there have been rumors running rampant around Littleroot Town that he’s dangerous around girls. They even call him “Zidane, the Zipper”, because whenever caught, he zips away in a fast run.

One last thing. He’s got serious mood swings. Look out for those.

Zidane’s past is a confusing one. He remembers being with people that might’ve been with his parents, but that was seven years ago -the same amount of time he’s been living in Littleroot Town. He doesn’t remember much about that. All he knows is that his real parents - and possibly other family - is out there. Somewhere.

FFX | Rikku Birch

"Disasterrific."

A P P E A R A N C E

Rikku is a pale-skinned girl with emerald eyes and golden hair. She usually keeps it tied up with a sturdy hairtie, for when she’s working on her machines, it gets in the way. Rikku’s body type is quite slender with a lean towards — well, lean. It’s toned in certain areas, and she definitely has her curves. Not exactly fully-developed, but she’s working on it. Give her a year, and she’ll have the guys swooning over her.

She isn’t very conservative when it comes to any outfit she wears. It always includes short shorts, a midriff of some kind, and a jacket. Sometimes the jacket will cover her upper body, and sometimes it defeats the purpose of wearing one. She wears a belt around her shorts that hangs low to her upper-thigh, so it pretty much is the same thing as her jacket(more of an accessory than an useful item of clothing). She also wears a pair of blue and white gloves, and the best walking shoes money can buy.

P E R S O N A L I T Y

For the most part, Rikku’s well-mannered. She’s very upbeat and positive. She’s friendly, too, but sometimes she doesn’t know when to mind her tongue. She has a tendency to speak her mind. Even when it’s not welcomed, she speaks it anyways. She means well, but it’s not always perceived as such.

Rikku has an undying loyalty to her friends, and loves them dearly. She likes there to be a bit of…fun to be there between them. She is not one to shy away from a challenge of any sort. Perhaps that’s why she’s always getting into trouble with her fellow adventure-enthusiast, Zidane Tribal.

And of course, let’s not forget to mention her long-standing rivalry with Yuffie Kisaragi. While they might be friends, there is no doubt that the two of them compete at almost everything. For as long as they’ve known each other, they both found enjoyment in healthy competition between one another. While most of the time, it’s not extreme, there have been times where some within the little town of Littleroot have feared for their safety because of how fierce these two get with their competitions.

One last thing: Rikku speaks her own language that no one understands that isn’t apart of the Birch family.

B A C K G R O U N D

Born and raised in Littleroot Town, Rikku Birch was so with her father, Professor Cid Birch, and her brother, Brother Birch. The three of them garnered a reputation as being the Bizarre Birches. They speak in their own language that no one understands.

The entire family love machines, and they are always tinkering with something in their backyard. God help them if they actually create something useful.
