[ZaCloud]

ROTFL!!!! YES!!! Sephiroth X and Dark Crono have made it to the PLU Omake!!! XD

Although my post was short, I believe that you require some cliff notes to understand why it took me a while to write it.

"By giving you life, I simply delay your eventual death. However, that is only half-truth…"

-Dark Crono doesn't reveil that he requires X's assistance to unlock The Valley of the Promised. You will find out why in later posts.

"You alone must find several pieces of the mirror"

Mirror as in...
-a reflection or image of yourself
-who you are as a person and beliefs
-the truth
-the illusion
-(foreshadow) a physical mirror that X will encounter

Verily, a distorted mirror becomes misleading.

-A mirror can lie about the truth
-one’s current self isn’t everything and one’s current world isn’t everything
-people can change who they are

Lastly, Crono's riddle...

There is still a key word missing - making X search for the answer even longer. He did not forget it however, because it becomes a major foreshadow.

That is all ;D

I finally had a chance to read the entire "Welcome to Hell" sequence for the first time since the EZBoard went down, plus the new "Riddle."

*is overwhelmed*

Wow...thank you, all three of you for crafting such powerful, revealing, disturbing, chilling prose...so amazing.

You've inspired me to write some more stuff...

Unfortunately, inspiration says nothing about the time I have, which I have none of. Curses.

The Phoenix wants more...

[ForeverZeroUltima]

Eummm....I really, really, REALLY want to post...and I do have the ideas for my next post in mind....but for some reason I want one of Lynx's encounters/companions to be present during his short journey >__<.

[LCF]

Is this character/Introduction idea acceptable for all involved?

Character Profile:
Name: Virgil
Age: Dead (technically)
Blood type: AB+
Appearance: Six foot tall, short front spiked red hair. Always wears red tinted mirrored sunglasses to hide his red (not glowing, nor sinister) eyes. Average build, although he looks sickly due to constant low blood levels. His nose is average in size and shape, but is crooked because it’s been broken. What he wears depends on the situation, he always avoids anything flashy or cumbersome (I.E. capes, trench coats, etc.). His favorite color is red, and often wears baggy red hooded sweatshirt along with plain blue jeans. Always wears a backpack, full of 8 IV bags of his blood.

Weapons of choice: While not a big fan of guns, or fighting in general, he does carry along a Dirty Harry style .44 magnum 6 shooter. He never carries any reloads. He carries the gun in a spring loader on his right wrist, all he has to do is jerk his arm suddenly for the gun to snap into his hand.When he know’s he’s going into a dangerous situation, he brings a riot gun designed to fire bean bags with him. He loads the central chamber with packets of blood. Think of it as a shotgun with a drum clip.

Fighting Style: Whatever works! That includes running away.

Personality: Good (although it may not appear so at first)
He isn’t exactly hero material. He’s selfish, arrogant, a smart ass, and a thief to boot. He fancies himself a “gentleman thief”, because no one gets killed or seriously wounded thanks to his heists. In all actuality, he’s more of a bumbling thief than anything, often purposefully getting caught so that he can say to himself that he would have succeeded anyways. He lies, cheats, steals, and thinks honor and pride are merely tools to use in his favor. I daresay that the characters in the PLRPG would find absolutely no redeeming qualities for Virgil. He does have some though. While his moral limits are, shall we say, wide? He won’t move past them an inch. He is loyal to his friends to a fault, and has a deep set understanding of the fundamental nature of good and evil, right and wrong. If someone were to die thanks to one of his thieving escapades, he would be crushed, maybe even kill himself. In addition to that, he loves children. The life of one child, to Virgil, is worth more than millions of adults put together. He thinks them unsoiled by the evils of society, believing that in every beat of their hearts, there is a potential for great acts of good.


Powers: Virgil has the ability to turn his life force into action. To put it practically, Virgil can use his blood, which is distilled life, to do magic. But there are some boundaries. First, that amount of life force to do something by magic is equal to the same amount of life force to do something physically. In other words, if Virgil wanted to move a cup across the room, he would have to bleed himself until he had used the same amount of energy as it would have taken to the same action physically. This boundary makes Virgil essentially useless unless he has some form of preparation. He’s constantly bleeding himself to his limits, and keeping that blood in bags that he keeps on him at all times. There are a few exceptions to the rule, however. Part of the magic’s ability to work is people’s belief in it. As long as Virgil believes in his magic, the 1:1 ratio remains intact, however, if Virgil takes his blood, and places it in a shape or symbol, or some exact number that people believe in, it can significantly increase the power of his blood, while lessening the amount of blood necessary. Also, if Virgil sacrifices his own life, intentionally, to cast a spell, his spell is given incredible power, akin to an act of god. Allow me to assure everyone, however, that Virgil has done it once before, and can never ever do it again. If someone else were willing to sacrifice themselves willingly, and they believed whole heartedly in the magic, than Virgil could use their life. One last thing, if Virgil uses more blood than is necessary for a spell, the magic will backlash and kill him.

Special Moves:
Crimson Tide: Virgil throws up to 6 IV bags from his backpack as he deems necessary, and throws them at his enemy(s), blowing them open with shots from his revolver. The blood coats the poor hapless victims, at that point Virgil can do a variety of things to his opponent, his favorite being to either immobile them temporarily, or light them on fire.

Ghost: Virgil uses blood on a surface, to stop the electrons from moving in that area. Seeing as how mostly everything is empty space, this allows Virgil to run through that surface with only slight discomfort. Unless Virgil has time to prepare, this uses at minium 2 IV bags, or 4 shots from his riot gun.

Riot Gun: Virgil uses this to fire packets of blood at his enemies, only has 16 shots, each bag is about half the size of the ones he carries in his backpack. His enemy has to be shot at least twice before he can get them to completely immobilize. These packets really hurt, if fired correctly, they can break bones.

Burn: Virgil sets blood on fire, he’s gotten down the amount of blood needed to an art, so he doesn’t have to worry about using too much blood.

No fifth attack yet.




Introduction idea:

Zack, Bax, and Sephy X are walking around, when all of a sudden they are approached with a really hyper looking man with a huge camera on his neck, think “tourist”. He says that he saw the two of them on TV, and grabs the bewildered duo of Zack and Bax by the necks, while thrusting his camera in Sephy’s stomach. He gets them into a group hug, and the confused Sephy takes a picture, his stomach sore. The man grabs his camera with a smile, and disappears as quickly as he had shown up. While our heroes stop to eat lunch, they realize that they have been robbed blind. Virgil sits in a nearby alleyway, completely incredulous that big monster fighters like the two of them could have so little money. The unlucky trio spy Virgil while frantically searching for the thief, and they begin to give chase.

I think it looks coo'. Powerful, but restrained enough to definitely be reasonable. Having seen your writing skills when you're being serious, I know that you are very capable of knowing how to hold back when necessary. It'd be great for you to join us. ^_^ (Trust me guys, he's a cool writer)

Yay! LCF loves compliments
