Well ive got a prologe all wrked out, which i could post up, it consists of Penace's return and Nejis attempt to assinate him. It also has the start of Keiji's adventure it will end with Keiji leaving home, that way i can start the actual Roleplay with Keiji out on his own.

Ive alrdy put forward most of my ideas. Like Penace's best men, their will b as many as their are main characters so we can kill one each similar to the story with the assasins but the likely hood would be that we kill them or get killed on the first encounter, yet its entirely up to you.

Im scheming to bring back Kiba once again, but he has a major upgrade, instead of just controlling Sand and the automatic sand sheild he becomes it also he has a barrage of new skills all pretty much exactly the same as Nejis and Keijis magic. But this time Neji wont be fighting Kiba at first, Kiba's gonna have the job of making Keijis life hell since Neji has alrdy been captured until Neji finally gets him this time for good.

Another Scheme im thinking would be Penaces army, when Penace escaped the demon world he took with him his entire army which had gotten banished in the past. He also raided the farplain and brought back his men who were killed in the past along with a new undead army, so he would have a huge army.

As for his best men, well his officers they could monsters or humanoids, they could be a soul brought back from the farplain (Kiba), an ancient monster sealed in the demon world or an angry guy or past enemy who hasnt been killed given an upgrade, or even a good guy who helped us in the origanal who gets possessed by Penace. Just go wild and come up with something for you to fight.

The guy Keiji fights is an ancient pink evil monster dragged from the depths of the farplain who is trained in the maital arts like Keiji.

And Neji kills Kiba who is taken back from the farplain, but with him will be his brother who is jst an underling to Kiba, he will only end up as soilder tho.

And finally Melina will have one of Penaces most loyal men who was sealed along with Penace. He'll be Atellian.

Just a brief of changes in the crew. And abit of wot Neji did after the defeat of Sin.

Neji and Melina moved to Elf land as recommended by Retala so Keiji could be raised and trained in a controlled environment. The crew also moved in to the elf city having no where else to go, the high priest allowed this as pay back for their deeds and sacrifices against Sin and Yevon but all had to swear an oath of secrecy for the world was not yet ready for the return of the elves. Also Neji was able to increase his bond with Diablos their thus making him more powerful than ever also Diablos memory started to come back to him allowing Neji to master the Demon Maritial arts which he passes on 2 Keiji

Neji with the crew deside to start their own business since Machina was no longer forbinnen, they specilzed in transporting goods between companys. One day Neji and the Crew renevated ancient Machina from the bottom of the sea, the ship was named The Choiji after the brave ex-captain who gave his life heroically for the crew. Cid was given command of this ship.

Then one day Eden recommened to Neji that he takes the crew and starts renevating the long lost Atellian technology. And so he did, they went to the site of where the last Atellian city was and soon built up a headquarters. Over a few years with the help of the elves they discovered and renvated many renements of Atellian technology. Neji was able to inbed it into his two ships, quickly his ships became the most powerful in Spira, many sought this technology yet Neji never revealed the secret , he had to work hard to defend it from many Rouge groups who would abuse the power gained.

It came the day when Neji and Cid came to the conclusion this technology was to risky and that apart from their ships notrace of it should be found. So they abondened the research but as they were leaving they were grounded be a sandstorm. When it died the sandstorm revealed the greatest find, a completely intact Atellian airship, equiped with a mysterious black metal which would reflect all but the light. It was equiped with the most powerful weaponary made by the Atellians and bosted thursters which would run circles round Neji ship, also it was silent and could bend into the night perfectly. The ship was named the Shadow and was immediatly send to the elf lands to keep it a secret.

Much research was done on the ship. The metal proved to be a comnination of the hardest metal and Dark Matter. Indeed the ship was powerful yet it only appeared to be a prototype and the ship was unstable and also baddly damaged over years. And thus extensive repairs and modifications are currently being made.

Before Neji went off to investigate what he felt dueing the purple lightning storm, Neji left incharge of the repairs to Zell and proclaimed that when completed Zell would be the captain and also run things with Gau who has now grow into a fine man as second in command while he was gone. And then he left with Cid in the two modified ariships, and neither returned. So Zell has now got a heavy load on his shoulders, not only has he got to complete the airship but he also has the command of Nejis crew and has the heavy job of finding out what has happen to Neji and Cid.

Also im gonna have 3 main characters, Keiji (obviously), Neji when he returns and my final main character is gonna be Zell and yes he will have to fight one of Penaces best men, its gonna be a fun fight. lol. Melina will be making an apprence but she wont be in for long gonna kill a guy then bugger off. So ignore Melina defeating one of Penences best men and replace it with Zell.

Mmm, i dont know Neji protected the tech 2 keep it away from the wrong hands. But i guess u could steal some and Neji lets u get away with it since he knowz u.

Oh yeh and w8 till u see Zells character hes gonna use all out technology Machina/Atellian. His key weapon is gonna be a modified hand held Mana Gun, but instead of firing raw magic energy he develops ammo for it called Mana Capsuels they have mana stealed inside of them so he can have fire bullets and ice bullets and well u get the picture. To help build a picture anyone who has seen Outlaw Star think the Caster gun.

Also nice wrk on the comics I really have to see them sometime.

Yay! And remind ME to send YOU the character concept sketches I've been doing (coz I'm sad...)

So far got Sonya, Feyd, Fariel, Kerr, Kirareq, Kiba, Neji, Melina and Tyrion.  Just for interest.

Now I'd better start working out my AA2 characters.  Well, I've kinda already got them...Eevee, who's going to be Feyd and Sonya's daughter, Jason Locke (Kerr's little brother - think I might spell it Jacen just for randomness) - not sure how much Feyd and Sonya are going to have to do with it...they'll set out with Keiji to look after him like they promised Neji and they'll take Eevee with them, but they'll get separated early on during some big fight (don't know who against).  Then Eevee meets up with Jacen (vague idea of him being an assassin/sniper), who's trying to find out what happened to Kerr.  The twist is he doesn't find out til AFTER he's befriended Fariel.  Haven't decided whether he ends up trying to kill Fariel or realising it was his brother who was in the wrong.  Then again, it's probably best if I don't decide just yet.

I repeat, Jacen MIGHT decide to hate Fariel, then again he might not.  And I'm going to have loads of fun sneaking him into Kebel - I have a load of stuff from Commandos: Strike Force to rip off (he's going to be a combination of the Spy and the Sniper).

Don't get me started on how ace that game is XD

The weird thing is I bought it for Dad for HIS birthday LOL And now I play it more than him!

Jacen has his ways and means ;)

Or he will have when I've developed his character a bit more...

Or he could just walk in with Eeveeif he meets her first, coz she's a good friend of "Auntie Fariel" (LOL Sonya privately blames Fariel for Eevee being so hyperactive, but I'll explain that later)

Yeah, I thought I'd go for a different style of character and make Eevee a bit of a loose cannon :) As for weapons she could use daggers but I wanted her to use something unusual, a glaive maybe (Seung Mina from SC3 would probably be the example that made most sense to you).

Tell you what, I'll write up some proper profiles and background and get it to you tomorrow.

Hmmm, see what you mean...Sonya and Feyd have got two each (staff/dagger and bow/dragon claws respectively).  And Jacen's going to have a sniper rifle (hooray for Machina now Yevon's gone!) and knives.

Maybe she could have a funny ELVEN glaive that can morph into different weapons? I dunno, what would you suggest?

"Oooooh, thanks Fari!" *Eevee jumps up and down in excitement at getting new daggers*

Aha, here's an idea - instead of a morphing glaive how about a High Guard force lance from Andromeda? Heh heh heh.

Heh, settled then!

Call me a wimp but I have to go to bed now - gotta be up for an early driving lesson (covered everything now so just practicing and "revising" as it were - gonna book the theory test for before I go and the practical either down in Edinburgh or during the Christmas holidays)

Okay, here they are, presented in the time-honoured fashion:

Name - Evelyn (“Eevee”) Kobie

Age - 16

Family - Daughter of Feyd and Sonya Kobie, no other siblings

Place of birth - Ravensbridge (just made that up XD), mother’s home town near Bevelle

Occupation - N/A

Weapons of choice - Atellian force lance, twin daggers

Strengths - Will accept any challenge, knows how to look after herself, has the power of both Ramuh and Tritoch within her

Weaknesses - Sometimes reckless, is nowhere near unleashing her full magic and Aeon potential

Background - Though they knew she would one day have to bear the responsibility of being an Avenging Angel, Feyd and Sonya tried to give their daughter Eevee as normal a childhood as possible. Eevee got on well with the other kids in Ravensbridge, and developed a definite mischievous streak that her mother suspected was partly due to the influence of “Aunty” Fariel who would often come and visit them. She was adventurous and enjoyed going on long trips with her parents immensely, where she learned a lot about field-craft and survival skills.

When she was 12 Fariel gave her two daggers that had belonged to her father as a birthday present and went about teaching her to use them, which Sonya disapproved of slightly but kept quiet when she saw how pleased Eevee was with them. When Eevee also started to develop latent magic powers, Sonya relented and began training her daughter as a mage as well, to which Eevee took to like a natural (which she kind of was, being the daughter of TWO Avenging Angels). Two years later, an emissary of the Ellessar elves arrived at their door to announce that it was time for Eevee to learn about her destiny as an Avenging Angel. Feyd and Sonya explained as much as they thought necessary to a confused Eevee about the elves and the First Aeons and her adventurous nature came through; taking to it with enthusiasm she went for regular training with the elves in the Ellessar woods, where she met up with and befriended another aspiring Angel there - Neji and Melina’s son Keiji - and received a special, master-crafted Atellian force lance made especially for her from High Priest Laconfir.

Eevee was back home with her parents when the mysterious storm that forecast Penance’s return ravaged Spira. Feyd and Sonya wasted no time in setting out to the Ellessar woods to consult Neji and the elves, taking Eevee with them.

Name - Jacen Locke

Age - 19

Family - Son of Hak and Lexa Locke; one older brother, Kerr (deceased)

Place of birth - Kilika (same as Kerr)

Occupation - None fixed; he spends most of his time on the move

Weapons of choice - Machina rifle, set of knives (for throwing/backstabbing)

Strengths - Stealth, has picked up fluency in many languages on his travels, master sniper

Weaknesses - Sometimes allows his rose-coloured impression of his brother to cloud his judgement

Background - Jacen’s was not a wealthy family and he and his older brother Kerr, who he had always looked up to, spent their childhood trying to make money for their family any way they could, developing a talent for blending into the background and picking the pockets of the more affluent while their father poached animals from the nearby private estate belonging to Maester Mika. XD

One day when Jacen was still only 5 Kerr set out into Kilika forest after a force of Crusaders marching to engage the Custodians, hoping to make a profit by looting the dead after the battle, and never came back. His disconsolate family assumed he had fallen foul of the Custodians, (he actually got chased by a fiend, met up with Fariel and ran off to Luca, but you already know that), but Jacen never gave up hope that his brother was still alive. Nevertheless there was still the pressing concern of putting food on the table so Jacen continued his thieving and, when he was 10, asked to go with his father on one of his poaching missions. A stolen rifle and five bullets later Hak realised his son was something of a natural.

The family fortunes changed for the better when the Yevon religion collapsed and Hak was able to find well-paid work in a new Al’bed factory, but Jacen continued to hone his shooting skills and as soon as his parents would let him - at age 17 - he left home on a mission to discover his brother’s fate.

The search proved fruitless for some time until his travels took him to Luca, where some shadier characters recognised Kerr’s name and told Jacen that he had, a long time ago, worked as a thief there under the tutelage of another young rogue. But they also told him that the two had disappeared from Luca well over a decade ago. Jacen was now more convinced than ever that his brother had not died in Kilika.

Hoping to find a new lead, Jacen used his natural cunning to infiltrate a Guard precinct house and discovered references to the hidden stronghold of Kebel, which he guessed would be the logical place to start looking for two thieves.

Looking to find out more, Jacen set off to look for Kebel. He didn’t even have the name of the thief he was looking for, nor a clue as to how to find Kebel or get inside, but knew he had to try.

Any thoughts?
