Character Sketches.

A question/point worth noting about Backer, Leebot -

The first subplot involves Toma coming into posession of the Rainbow Shell. I don't think the implications of the this have been entirely explored yet, have they?

Porre should have seized the shell in the conquest of Guardia in the original timeline. We can still suggest that Toma acquiring the shell does not effect the shell's destiny in the long run, as it is acquired when Porre makes its invasion in that scenario as well.

Whatever the case, Backer couldn't have traveled through time and gained immunity, right? Which means that he's at least the result of the Toma alteration. Upon being called to the EoT he'd gain time traveller's immunity, so we don't have to worry about his fate afterward.

Perhaps you've already kicked all this around. Just curious what your thoughts were on that scenario.


How others see Sessimine

Sessimine is charming with a capital C - and not a cutesy, adorable charming. She's the sophisticated, fascinating sort of charming who has as many talents and reasons to be adored as she does admirers. And while there are obvious reasons to to find Sessimine attractive - her appearance - many more find themselves enamoured by her plethora of artistic and social graces. She is incredibly self-confident (perhaps approaching the point of arrogance), extroverted (perhaps approaching the point of needing others to socialize with), flirtatious (most certainly approaching the point of being a tart), and expressive (without question, a drama queen). Of course, one suspects that much of Sessimine's appeal stems from the fact that she abuses her arcane powers quite liberally.

Its also worth noting that as an instructor, she's a encyclopedia of arcane knowledge - although much to her dismay, she still can't stack up to the book-smart sorcerer in that regard. Sessimine really has a dislike for sorcerers, as she views them a possible rival for attention.

Zealians and Keystonians alike would find themselves captivated by Sessimine - despite the fact that a fair number of Zealians are quite envious of her and Keystonians dislike her for obivious reasons, upon coming face to face with the enchantress once again they find themselves forgetting why they ever disliked her so in the first place.

As one who takes every opportunity to flaunt her talents, Sessimine would have little hesitation to rush into a dangerous situation - never considering that a foe could possibly be her equal. Fortunately for her sake, she's generally right - although a mere bruise or two (god forbid a scar!) would send her crying all the way back to ZEAL and make her think twice about being so hasty in the future. Unlike her daughter, she isn't clumsy and occasionally could be found wielding a fan - although she's hardly strong enough to be able to be anything more than a minor annoyance with one.

I'd already considered all of that. In fact, it was my intention to make him be one of the results of the altered timeline. In this timeline, the shell gets to Porre much earlier (possibly Toma sells it to them), and they have time to do research on it. While they were gearing up for the invasion of Guardia, this was one of their projects. (Note that the project took place in 1004 AD, before the invasion of Guardia.)

Don't remember the Mop as a weapon.  Besides, plastic?

You charm it off a Nu in the hunting grounds in 65,000,000B.C. I'm gonna assume it's not made of plastic.

Yeah, I just looked it up.  It's a weapon for Crono anyway, so there's no dissolution of the Crono/Jesus connection.  Besides, a mop is used for cleaning...Jesus washed his disciples' feet and cleansed mankind of their sins.  So it makes my case even stronger.

I have been feeling it would be interesting if soemone writes from the perspective of an enhasian, I know there are already too many Zealians but I think this one is quite different from any other Zealian you may come across, I still need to work out the final details of  his story but I think the character himself is pretty much defined like for talking about him.

Hansaad, son of  Jasktin The Summoner, one of the most remembered master mages from the last times. Beign the son of a such powerful and recognized magician as his father was, his entrance to the Academy of Najran was right in the pocket, yet what it was in the mind of Hansaad was something wide differen -to join Enhasa, the holy ground, and find in dreams the answers he seek-

You see, Hansaad is sort of a teologist, that would be the best way to describe him and his high interest  in religon and philosophical research  -Those are his reason for joining Zeal-, yet is a kinda of a rebel, he is just not so happy with the religious system stablished in Zeal, as he says in one of the parts I have already wrote for my chapter:

´´ The gods... I have dreamed of them all... yet none of them provides me with answers.´´

Also what I think is cool about him is the fact that he despises magic (something totally oposite from what is stablished in Zeal culture!) as he think it only twist the minds of man and turning life into a ¨neverending, perversed search for power, first the power over the nature, then over man himself¨. So, altough he is an innate user and a very powerful one , he will use most of the time weapons maded in the Keystone dimension, only using magic when there is really no other way, as a result of this, his true power remains asleep.

It all would start when, in one of his dreams,  he is able to have visions from the Keystone dimension (How I still dont know) and other dimensions as well, he then becomes aware of the council and project Zeal , and what they are doign  seems really disgusting to him, he is able to see the great perversion in the hearts of the members of the coucil and start wondering in a way to stop them, he comes to realize that a way for achieve this would be to turn into public light what the council is and their sick experiment of messing other dimensions. what he doesnt know is that the council already knew what he was after and have set a group of  Nanashis to eliminate him, because he knows too much...

Well, that is basically it, what I still need to workout is how he will finally escape from certain death (as he doesnt have any studies in magic yet he is a innate user, he has no chance of defeating the assasins after him) in Zeal and join Gaspar in the Keystone dimension, as for what I understand Gaspar wont come to a way for dimensional travel until the last chapters of the fanfic, what I tought is that maybe among the lines of the Zeal Agents  insurrected soldiers have arosed, and they travel from one dimension to another seeking for a way to stop the council, one of those rebels is the one that rescues Hansaad from death and takes him to the Keystone dimension or even the end of time itself.

Enhansa is just part of Zeal.

So, what? That brings no. of ZEALians to Keystoners somewhere around 20/1?

Am I the only one sick of them (didn't want to make one really)? Obviously I am...

[ZeaLitY]

It's just difficult, Plate. The Council is absurdly secretive and paranoid, so learning of their doings and plans even through dreaming is very farfetched and out of the question. Additionally, the Council really can't peer into his mind and figure out he had a dream, can they? And the ZEAL/Keystone crossover won't fly unless you're in the jailbreak or the Council has a reason to dispatch you, as they do with Naomi and Sessimine for instance. Lastly, the Council wouldn't tolerate an insurrection. Now, I feel pretty bad, so I'm going over to Chronicles to see if Guardian of Ages will grace us with his fanfiction that he's posted there.

4. Rashelle Tujaas

Rashelle, if she were to be summed up in three words, would be a brilliant tactical specialist. She hails from the 15th century A.D. in the Keystone Dimension, a Porrean officer with a Type-A personality, little tolerance for inactivity and slothfulness, and several reinforcing motivators that have led her through the highest military academies and have toned her mind into a battle-computing machine. She doesn't care much for artistic, emotional concepts or things in life, as her military training has repressed these urges and likings. She evokes the utmost fear in her enemies, who are numerous; the 1400s are a tumultuous time for Porre, as the old vanquished states are lobbying from indepence after four centuries of submission. Rashelle is sent on various missions to subdue the more active segments of the dissenters. She grows to be hated with such ferocity that a ludicrous number of fanatical soldiers in a combined army of Chorasians and Mystics throw themselves upon her strike force, eventually getting the upper-hand long enough to kill her before being massacred themselves.

During one of the subplots, Gaspar notices her pure excellence in matters of warfare, and her subsequent death. He extracts her milliseconds before a hail of bullets ravage her fortified position on the plains of Choras.

Please consult the World of Keystone/ZEAL thread for confirmation about the history of the world as it relates to her.

Although some would probably find me saying this to be hypocritical, I agree. We really do not need anymore Zealians. In fact, from this point on - I think we should insist that all future "main" characters come from Keystone. (For the time being) A rival to square off with from ZEAL is fine.

For one, the jailbreak is already locked. Secondly, we have quite enough Zealians with moral dilemmas that might send them to Keystone. And finally, the Crown vs Council subplot is already well-stocked as well.

If you've already suggested you were going to write as a Zealian (and have yet to finalize your sketch or something), then that's okay.

Hmm... this could lead to an interesting relationship with Backer... very interesting...

[V_Translanka]

I've decided that Hunter & Amy are going to have a brief contact with the FF...It's going to change them somewhat...Giving them both a kind of red barnacle-crusty growths on their arms & legs (respectively, not both) which will give them increased strength in those extremities (along with a general inlargement of said body-parts), but may (or may not) cause some impairments later...because they (the growths, not their body-parts) will continue to grow...

[Dunsparce]

I got an idea for a very... unique character

Name: Closest thing in human tongue is Jai (pronounced Yigh or Yie)

A stange super-intellegent lifeform for the age after human eventually leave the face of the earth, making other animals such as squid to evolve, move to land, and become the dominate beings of earth (based off of a theory from Discovery channel's The Future is Wild) Large, Dark red Squid like creatur with an anvil-like stucture atop of its head and Large Eyes. I got a pic from a Dragon Quest game that kinda looks like it:
Can speak telepathically typed like this. Has pathetic physical attack, but makes up for it in high defense, high magic defense, somewhat average magic attack, and has a little lower than average stamina and speed. can use some shadow but has water innate. has a thin coat of mucus on the outside. It doesn't fully understand all human morals, but tries its best. attacks using its tentacles, and is unable to have dual techs and triple techs under normal conditions.  It may be blunt at times, but has no intentions of being rude in any manner.

[Symmetry]

Well. Unique is certainly the word to use.

There aren't any logisticial problems of Gaspar summoning Jai as he comes from the very far future, but something tells me that people in general aren't going to react well to a floating squid-like creature.

But then again, CC had walking, talking plants. @_@

Maybe for the sake of not arousing mass hysteria wherever he goes, he has someway of appearing in human form?

[Leebot]

Let's see, CC had...

A dream of a turnip
A voodoo doll
A baby dragon
A genetically-engineered test-tube monster
A flower
A little blue alien
Many demihumans

A futuristic squid isn't out of the question for being too off the wall. The problem will be if you can write him. It's relatively easy to write characters that think like humans (even if they have a different moral code), but it's quite a different story writing characters who have an entirely different thought process. Unless you're an experienced writer, I'd recommend against trying it; it will likely end up looking like you're making it up as you go along.

[Dunsparce]

Don't worry. Its personallity isn't too complicated, seeing as it "speaks" its mind fully and doesn't hide its own feelings that much. I was not suprised you mentioned the odd characters from CC, as they were the inspiration for me to create such an odd thing.
