Character Creation: What You're Looking For
adreamofcold
On a Bus to Ivalice
You walked into the tavern, and the bartender greeted you.
"Welcome, stranger, to the Weeping Meadow!" he said, "Come oft not one such as yours to Ivalice; an interesting story mayhap come from what I see. What say you, come from the Orient? Ordellia? Romania?"
You stayed silent as you looked for a table, and the bartender chuckled.
"No? Strong and silent are you now? Well no matter." The bartender patted a spot on the bar. "Come, rest your legs and have a drink, although what you journey for I may have an inkling of. The talk of Ivalice it has been for quite some time, as the founding of it has shaken the land. All over the world have people come to see for themselves the truth unveiled at last."
Your eyes perked up at that, and the bartender grinned at your reaction.
"Ah. Your attention it has gotten, has it not?" the bartender continued, rinsing a glass. "That's right, the Durai Papers is what I allude to; the one and only account of what really happened during the War of the Lions. Written by the heretic Orran Durai, it corroborates the stories of the 'Mad Maiden,' as they used to say. Word has it that the Church of the Maiden is in an uproar right now trying to discredit it, but too many missing details the Papers contain that match up to strange occurrences during the war for them to succeed in doing so, and now the church is coming under attack for what is said that they have done in the Papers."
As you ordered a drink, the bartender continued, his hands searching for the bottles to mix with, "And what a strange tale the Papers tell! From the time before with the Corpse Brigade, to the kidnapping of Princess Ovelia that ultimately sparked the war itself, to the real reason that the war ended at the Battle of Fort Besselat, the papers tell us all. However, bordering on plain fantasy some of the things it says!" The bartender laughed heartily at the thought. "The machinations of the Church, the full betrayal of the Knights Templar which led to its crackdown and restructuring, and even talk of demons and the Mother of Grimm herself! You would think straight out of the imagination of some young babe it had come from, and yet here we are, multiple scholars confirming its truth, every last bit of it."
As he serves you your drink, he adds, "Well, enough about what I think. Tell me, what interests you about the Durai Papers?"
You paused. Should you tell him that you were looking for:
[x] a famous name in the war; someone that the Papers revealed a new side on. (Established Characters)
[x] just a nameless soldier in the war; someone that the Papers could answer some questions of yours. (Original Character)
Next Post: A Search for the Unknown
AN: Please ignore any characters you recognize in the picture, there are surprisingly few pictures of a tavern in the early modern ages. ^_^;
Welcome to my first ever Quest, and boy is it a doozy. I hadn't imagined that the first story I would tackle would have Final Fantasy Tactics in it, but here we are. Hopefully I can make this ride entertaining for you all. @_@
One thing to note before we continue further: Any person that was born before or had fought in the Fifty Years War is prohibited. Sorry guys, you can't play as Barbaneth. Additionally, canon characters that are royalty, constructs, and come from other games (Cloud, Luso, Balthier) are also prohibited.
Special thanks to Kei and Rhomeo for being pseudo-inspiration for this.
With that being said, I bid you safe travels in this strange, new Ivalice.

- EX: At the pinnacle of proficiency, unique options are gained from this skill.
When you first meet somebody, their relationship will be set based on how you appear to them. Although this can be influenced by prior information, make sure your first impression counts! After that, any interaction with them can modify their relationship with them greatly, and as time rolls on, the swing will grow less and less until they have a set impression of you, and then any shifts will not have a bonus modifier. Of course, your relationship with them can be wildly different from their relationship with you, so be careful with assuming things! The more extreme your relationship is with someone, the more likely that certain actions will become unavailable to you.
- -1000: Hatred
- -900: Bitter Enemies
- -700: Enemies
- -500: Dislike
- -300: Annoyance
- 0: Neutral
- 100: Acquaintance
- 300: Friends
- 500: Best Friends
- 700: Blood Brothers
- 800: Love
- 900: Deep Love
- 1000: Utter Devotion
Choices are will be the most important thing affecting your character in this Quest. Choices can be separated into three types: Good, Neutral, and Bad. Good choices, of course, are the best choices. Choosing these will have your character automatically succeed in the choice, with a roll to see how successful you are. Neutral choices, as one would expect, won't affect your character one way or the other, and you'll roll normally to see your character's chances. Bad choices have a high rate of failure; however, a good roll can offset this. Additionally, not all decisions will have Good or Bad choices. So choose wisely!
Combat can take many forms, but will mainly follow the Choices section above. In some cases, you will have a preparation step to set your party up, but sometimes you will not, so be careful! What's different about this system is the use of aura. Aura is used for all abilities expect basic attacks and automatically blunts attacks. Thus, management of Aura is essential for all battles. At 0% aura, one can still fight, but be prepared to take a mortal blow if one does. When a mortal blow is taken, there will be 5 turns before one will actually die, so make sure one has something for a quick revival!
Jobs are the most essential part of your being, so don't slack off on them! All characters will have a primary job and a secondary job unless stated otherwise on their character sheet. The primary jobs will enjoy full benefits: 100% effectiveness of skills and 100% JP from using skills. The secondary job will have less benefits, approximately 75% of the primary job. Of course, direct training in a job will gain more JP either of these.
There are two major types of weapons in Ivalice since the great discovery of Goug: the transforming mechashift weapons of the new age and the tried and true weapons of the old age. While mechashift weapons have the flexibility of being both a close range and a long range weapon at the same time, they do not have the raw power of the old metalsmithing practices. Old weapons are also the only ones that can be enchanted, although enchanters are rare these days, and most mechashift weapons cannot hold the raw energies that most special jobs wield.
People that are dedicated enough to pursue additional content, such as insightful questions, observations, or Omakes can find themselves earning additional traits, equipment, or Kudos!
Kudos can be used in the Kudos shop to influence many things, but be careful, as using too many kudos at one time for things like rerolls can negatively affect your character in other ways!
