Deus Ex Machina: The Xenogears Tale ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ PERSONA SHEET ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Player Information ------------------ Name or Alias: Rune Age (optional): 17 Sex: Male E-mail address: starstrike@softhome.net ICQ/AIM/Yahoo! Pager/etc. (if applicable): Character Information --------------------- -Name: Faia -Age: 14 -Sex: Male -Occupation: Kyouran's Third Elemental Advent -Genral Appearance: Long mane of reddish hair, ending in a large bushy ponytail. Has an X shaped scar, given to him by his father. Usually wears loose robes and sandels. -Voice: Silky, seductive. Does not fit with his fairly young body, and confuses people. -Weapon: Inferno Blade -Personality: Perhaps the brashest, loudest, most outspoken Advent, Faia never misses an opportunity to brag or show off. Much of this is due to his fear of inadequacy... Faia severely fears losing the respect of Kyouran and the other Advents. Very flashy fighter, and enjoys long, elequoent speeches. Severe womanizer. -Background and History: Faia was born in Dazil, and was hated from the very beginning of his life. Mistaken for a girl at first, his father was very upset that he did not have a daughter to sell off in marrage. Faia's older brother was the jewel of the family, and another son was a burden, rather than a reward. Thus, Faia was neglected. The fact that Faia was very much a 'pretty boy' did not help his early childhood. His older brother tormented him, as well as most of the children of the neighborhood. His father beat him often, and a perticularly nasty blow left Faia scarred for life. Faia finally snapped on his tenth birthday, when his father and brother took him to the desert to finally 'dispose' of him. He unleashed his full power as an Advent, creating a fused glass crater in the southern desert that has yet to be worn away by the sands. Both his father and brother died, and Faia was left alone. Kyouran, drawn by the power of the blast, took young Faia under his wing. For the first time, Faia felt that someone loved and cared for him, and he bonded closely with Kyouran. -Birthplace: Dazil -Mother: Unknown -Father: Unknown (deceased) -Siblings: His brother (deceased) -Mate: None -Children: None -Other relations: Kyouran: Faia's surrogate father figure. Advents: Faia's family, the most important people in his life.. -Secondary Skills: Candle making, Ether fire sculpting.. -Abilities/Disabilities: Thermo Slide: Faia can teleport anywhere where fire exsists in large amounts (bonfire sized or larger... big enough for a human to walk out of). He does not have the freedom that the other Advents do when teleporting, as he is usually drawn to places of destruction. Can return to Zohar freely, however. Fire Ether Foci: Faia is the master of Fire Ethers, and can draw upon a huge number of ethers from this area. These powers are gained after the Advents are called to Zohar by Deus, during the End. (Starting when the Gatea Key is used. Advents Powers - Bestowed on each Advent by Kyouran is a channel to Zohar, which allows them to amplify their powers greatly. This channel is similar to Kyouran's ability to infuse Zohar's energy into others, but can be discontinued. Overusage can cause the Advent to meet the same fate as one infused with Kyouran's 'power'. This power also allows them to regenerate when they are immersed in their element. Immunity to Fire: Faia regenerates when struck by fire attacks. Child of Deus (Marlute): All of the Advents are terminal interfaces with the Deus attack system, and thus are telepathicly infulenced by him. 'God' can only effect lightly while he sleeps, but when Deus awakens, all of the Advents shall transform into creatures of power and destruction. (This is unknown to anyone except the Advents.) -Hobbies: Improving his fighting powers, hitting on pretty women. -Current residence: Has quarters in Solaris, but has no specific dwelling. -Current Life Conflicts: Does not wish to bring suffering on everyone, but sees the corruption being spread by Solaris, and wonders what he can do to help. Does not wish to disappoint any of the other Advents, and least of all Kyouran. -Other notes: Will attempt to capture or disable both the 'Contact' and 'Anti-type' for delivery to Deus. Does not coperate with Miang or Mordon. Will literally die at Kyouran's request. Quotes: "Flame purifies all! You are corruption, thus you must burn!" "The contact, the anti-type... are you our hope? Or are you our destruction?" "I will not betray Kyouran, not even to avenge all of my pain!" -Gear name: Magma Demon -Gear description: Large, gothic demon shape. (Side note: This gear is HUGE, standing half again as tall as most other gears. Only gears like the Ethos heavy attack gears or the Omnigear of Solaris come to anywhere near this size.) -Class: Heavy Assualt, Ether. -Primary function: Total destruction. -Weapon(s): Claws, Ether spells. -Abilities/Disabilities: Thermo Pulse: Massive fire attack Flaming Hell (Rarely) Fuel Drain -How your character acquired the gear: Generated by Deus, and delivered to Faia when he first connects to Zohar. (After the Gatea Key is activated.)
