This is a thread for questions, answers, comments and suggestions for the FF roleplay (perhaps the Galna roleplay as well). Personally, I think the stuff you guys have written is gold - there’s a story unfolding before we’ve even gone anywhere or done anything.
Also there are a few bits in my post that don’t quite tally with the FF10 background, but that’s mainly because I’ve never played the game ;) As Asreal's been railing at me about them this morning, I will now attempt to explain these sticking points away:
Kobie is an ex-follower of Sin - Sin having an army is complete conjecture on my part, although I thought there must be someone for the Crusaders to fight against! I was thinking that this army would consist of various unsavoury creatures and perhaps some humans who revere Sin as the hand of Yevon purging evil from the world.
Sonya’s mask - I don’t know if there are Dwarfs in FF, but in most fantasy stories they’re quite “techy” creatures so I thought if anyone could design it, it would be them. Plus if they have playback spheres for TV why not slightly-futuristic medical tech (after all it could be either scientific or magical). And if that still doesn’t check out as an explanation then it’s a relic from 1000 years ago before Sin blasted everyone back to the middle ages. So there.
A minor point - You may have noticed that Kobie wakes up on the beach in the morning, but in the next post its evening-time. This is a typo on my part, but one can imagine they spent a lot of time sneaking around back roads dodging everybody rather than just waltzing up to Luca’s main gate via the Mi’ihen Highroad.

Okay, but who are the Al'bed? (I don't know a lot about FF10 and its background)
Also, while I'm thinking about it, what is our little group's quest going to be? The obvious one would be to get all the aeons and destroy Sin but we could always go for something a bit less grandiose...
The stage is set for some interesting twists as well - does Naji the pirate help or hinder the good guys? Are the rest of the group expendable to Tanis and his "secret mission"? Was he the hired killler who murdered Lauthelias? Will Fariel go respectable and become manager of a Blitzball team? (Okay, now I'm getting silly...)
Wherever we're going, Tanis will probably be the leader as he's the most "serious" (what are the others? A thief who steals for thrills, a pirate and two escaped prisoners LOL) plus his posts make a couple of cryptic references to a "secret mission" or something like that.
No doubt Squall will be very happy to learn that he's in charge. ;)

BTW Squall could you change the line in my first post from "the dwarf scientists made it for me" to "it's Al'bed tech?" then to bring it into line as I can't edit that one any more.

ok first of all, Sonya could have her funny mask thing but she'd be an al'bed which is a race of humans with slightly different eyes. Followers of yevon hate the al'bed for using machina (machines) becuase they reckon that its whats causeing sin to not go away casue they aren't paying for their sins la di da~ typical religous stuffs.
And yeah, theres pretty much only Al'bed, humans, the ronso which are like uber scary half animal folk *goes to get a picture* http://www.fantasysquare.com/pic/ff10/Kimahri_1.jpg and thats about it. I suppose you can add races if you back it up with a solid background that links somewhere into the actual story of Spira (the world in ff10)
Also i wasn't trying to be mean but your writting out Unreal not FF10 :p lol its clashing a bit.
Also we don;t have a summoner to defeat sin with plus Yuna will do that in the end, so we'll do something somewhere.
And yes Sin comes in many forms, not just the beafter of a blue ball in the sky, it appears as a giant kinda beafter of a fish thing too that cna fly as well.
big ball: http://theepok.free.fr/IMG/ff10/images/sin.jpg fish thing (if you can make it out): http://www.geocities.jp/miraclezombi/collection/28sin11111.jpg
Ummm what else. Yeha sin dosn't have a following, it does have sin spawn though, which are big powerful creepy feinds (monsters)
I just thought since there are so many little religions and cults in FF that I'd add one that worships Sin (they think he's Yevon purging evil from the world).
And Sonya may or may not be an Al'bed - she just got her mask off them.
Writing out Unreal? Unreal hardly even has a story - and I didn't know you'd ever played the game. (Aside - I took the idea of Skaarj and their blade claws for Kobie's Dragon Claws, so half of his "cool fighting moves" will be Skaarj animations from Unreal LOL I'll find you pics if you like, though the graphics in original Unreal are not great)
Sin is also a giant fish? That flies!? WTF they must have been drunk when they invented that thing!

He doesn't have hs claws out in that one (so back I go to get another LOL) but it's cool - did I mention that they have bracers which draw small amounts of energy from their bloodstream so they can shoot blasts of energy at their opponents (the Skaarj in the pic is in the process of doing so)
Here's another - this one's a screenshot. The Skaarj looks pretty menacing considering he's about to be blasted all over the walls by the flakcannon the player is aiming at him.

Its Treasure hunter dude. (maybe i should his name to Locke) (ppl who have played FF6 will understand). Also Neji aint all that bad (althouh he is bloodthirsty), see how he saved the innocent bystander.
Hes a human/Guado. Guado are another race in FF10 which are weird and funny looking. Anyway yeah, in the game hes one of the lower evils :p under sin :p
And he is a summoner, he murdered his father, prospoed to Yuna (long history lesson behind that) Anyway yes, hes bad, not trustable and creepy as hell XD to prove the point, thats the creepy guy in these screen shots: http://images.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=http://fireandsun.tripod.com/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/ffcg_50.jpg&imgrefurl=http://fireandsun.tripod.com/id1.html&h=480&w=640&sz=37&tbnid=YDxLjxuf5ToJ:&tbnh=101&tbnw=135&hl=en&start=5&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dmaester%2Bseymour%26svnum%3D10%26hl%3Den%26lr%3D
Ummmmm what else was i gonna explain to ya cna't remember :p
Shadow was an awsome character as are all the dark mysterious characters like Vincent, Amerant (if thats how u spell it), but i like the more optimistic characters ones who get really pissed off when mad but when then need to be can chill out abit, but also calm and cool, and a bit of an attitude.
My favourite characters are proberly Zell, Cid (FF7), Zidane, Saben and Locke oo and Qiuna, Character who add a bit of comic relief and hot-headedness. Zell being my all time favourite.
Btw u guys heard about FF7 Dinge of Darkness?
Also FF12 is ment to come out this year any1 know when about?
Good grief, you guys made a lot of posts yesterday LOL

we would know id sonya was an al'bed cos there eyes are spirals...u know swirls...they dont have pupils or irises
She's not an Al'bed - she just got her mask from the Al'bed - presumably her parents (ordinary Yevonite humans) didn't like the Al'bed but they overcame their distrust when it came to saving their daughter's life.
And blatantly using Al'bed machina probably attracted a lot of hostility towards her from the other Yevonites which may have been one of the reasons they so quickly pinned Lauthelias' murder on her.
Perhaps I'll elaborate in a later post if the opportunity arises and I can think up something plausible.

Lol Fenix, ok got it, she ISN'T al'bed :p And ok we're getting somewhere, now you just have to post in the actual roleplay cause i can't be arsed controlling your characters all the tiem XD
True but I wouldn't say its made everyone forget the 40K one, it just takes more time to write up posts for two roleplays.
And I'm soz you've had to control my characters but I've only been offline one day - you guys just happened to do a lot of posting that night LOL
