Any who know me are probably cheering at this news, any that don't, hello, nice to meet you. Yes, I have returned to the world of deviantArt RP after a few months hiatus, and this time, I intend to stick around a while and not run away. Also, I've lost touch with avantguarde, so... yeah, there goes another reason I would've abandoned this. Ok, so you strangers probably don't know what any of that means, though you may be able to guess, regardless, let's move on.

I've decided to start my own RP based in the world of Ivalice as shown to us by Square-Enix. This probably brings up a few questions such as which Ivalice this is, around what time period, and will there be some sort of supervillain (or hero in one case) bent on its conquest/destruction? To answer the first question, I wanted to leave things wide open to give the RPers themselves plenty of creative room; this means that this Ivalice can be any or all of the Ivalice's we've come to know and love from the Final Fantasy Tactics series and Final Fantasy XII. This answer is also for the second and third question, it's entirely up to the RPers what's going on in the world right now, whether you want the war between Rabanastre and Archadia to be going full force or if you'd prefer it be a time of uneasy peace just before the Lion War, that's fine too, or both (note, I do not think the Rabanastrian war and the Lion War are related, they're two separate examples for sake of illustration, do not be confused). In fact, you can have the events of all games based in Ivalice to be going on at once if you build it that way as well as any side events that have nothing to do with the games, the choice is yours. My goal is to have a totally free RP involving events orchestrated by everyone involved with minimum limitations. Of course, I understand that there of those of you out there not really willing to orchestrate anything and that's fine too, you can just sit back in the Sandsea and drink all day if you wish.

So, make your character (I won't even bother approving it, it's simply so everyone has something to refer to if necessary) and join in on the fun, Ivalice awaits!

Persona Sheet Example:

Name: Uryx Farrence

Race: Hume

Age: 20

Gender: Male

Family: Father- Gawain Farrence (Deceased), Mother- Judy Farrence, Elder Sister- Kitty Randall (Married)

Significant Others: None

Physical Description: Uryx has rather short, dark brown hair and eyes of the same color. His face looks like he doesn't shave very often, and when he does, he doesn't exactly do a very good job of it. It also looks like he doesn't bathe very often, but that might just be an illusion from the fact that he's out almost every day having "adventures" like some sort of child (much to the disdain of his mother and older sister). No matter what other clothes he's wearing or where he is, Uryx always has a light brown (with a distinctive tinge of green) coat hanging over his shoulders, though he almost never has his arms in the sleeves. His accent is Archadian, though not nearly as heavy as most others, probably because of his frequent visits to other places all over Ivalice.

Personal History: Uryx was born in Archades to Judy and Gawain Farrence about two years after his sister, Kitty (short for Kathleen), had been born. His father was a hunter and his mother a housewife, which led to Uryx forming more of a bond with his mother in his younger years. When he reached the appropriate age, Uryx was sent to boarding school where he performed slightly above average when he chose to apply himself, but more often than not, he would try to sneak out to explore the city and the surrounding area (always keeping his sandalwood chop hidden so as not to cause trouble with the less fortunates, his mother came from a rich family that still supported his own, in fact, the reason he was going to boarding school was at their behest). During his time at boarding school, Uryx's father went to hunt a mark never to return, but Uryx never really got to know his father and the news didn't really bother him too much. On a whim, Uryx decided to follow in his late father's footsteps and begin hunting marks himself armed with a gunblade of unknown origin, but has lately fallen into a slump, simply going out just to be out and not to fight anything dangerous. This probably isn't such a wise move on his part, considering his family only barely supports him as it is, but he doesn't really care, he'll figure something out if worse comes to worst.

Personality: Uryx is a fairly agreeable fellow at the best of times, but can get to be almost unbearable at his worst. Uryx is impulsive by nature and oftem acts upon whims, doing things simply because it seems like a good idea at the time. Surprisingly, this impulsiveness hasn't landed him into serious trouble in the past. He's very odd for an Archadian descended from aristocracy in that he cares little for status, although what friends he has tells him that when it comes to leadership skills, he'd give the emperor a run for his money (at this he simply shrugs and says "perhaps"). Uryx has an intense love for his mother, though this doesn't stop him from being himself and just following his whims anyway (much to her chagrin). Uryx's relationship with his sister is strained at best, she can have her rich husband and fancy life for all he cares, he wants none of it. Uryx is happiest when he's left to do as he likes.

Weapon of choice: A gunblade he calls "Catherine." The weapon's exact origins are unknown, but it does show a remarkable level of craftsmanship, meaning it was most likely wrought by moogle hands. The blade is somewhat scratched and tarnished, but it still works just as well as if it were new. The person the weapon is named after is unknown, though it may be a past sweetheart or something cliche'd like that.

Birth Sign: Taurus

One more thing, don't feel constrained to things only in the Ivalice universe, if you want races or things from other Final Fantasy games, that's fine too (such as the Lilty race or aeons). In fact, you can introduce things that don't have anything to do with any of the games if you so choose, just go crazy (but not TOO crazy, I don't want the RP to self-destruct, powerplayers or godmodders will receive a warning, followed by a lecture, followed by banishment if their behavior comes to the attention of even one of the mods)!
