Welcome to Gaia! ::

Some people have long fuses. I count Rigo as one of them, seeing how he managed to keep the details of that assassination event in the dark for so long and put up with the withdrawn Gio.

*looks at Jolyre and sighs* Gio's always been talented, but if you break us all, you won't have any quickie cookies.



Ok, maybe Rigo wouldn't have said "quickie cookie."

Actually, I could be wrong, but I think Rigo may have the longest fuse in the group despite his age. sweatdrop Hmm.. as for shortest, Jolyre hands down, but that's because of the way she's acting.

Rigo: *sigh* Fighting isn't the only "talent" one can have, Gio... you should know that already... *sighs again*

Rigo's going to get the record for sighing in the roleplay.

Yeah! Computer back! No more Wii-typing!

Anyway, there will be Malboros, but not for a long while. They're a powerful monster, and not something any party should face at the beginning of an adventure. Sorry Suri, you have to face your demons sometime.

*frowns and makes absolutely no comment about Suri's FFB comments and the response of the so called villains*

Excuse my ignorance, but what is a Malboro?

I was just thinking... I know Summoning is the next step in them growing stronger, but I had been at a loss as to what to do for them to progress even farther than the previous generation had.... but then it hit me. Trance. Essentially Limit Break made as a transformation rather than a single attack. Light surrounds the Trance-induced character and they go through a slight aesthetic change at the same time, all while gaining power unknown to the average peon. The way I was thinking this could work in our RP is that it is a sign of both strong emotions and a synchronization with their Eidolon, with both summoner and Eidolon on the same wavelength and thinking as one. For some this would be harder than others. *CoughJolyreandAlexanderCough* And since being in tune with the Eidolon would be a requirement, it would bring a new kind of unison between the two. I was thinking that going into Trance would also make the Eidolons transform into weapons relative to their own abilities, rather than that of the summoner, thus making a second weapon for each character and new abilities to play around with. At the same time, the summoner and Eidolon would have a semi-merged consciousness, since the summoner would need the Eidolon's knowledge of how to use the new weapons.

Some examples of some ideas on what the weapons would be are: (None of these are set in stone)
Alexander Ray, a set of pistols that would allow Jolyre's range to be expanded to allow all ranges of attack and not just short-range. It also super-excites the body and mind of their wielder in the form of time-magic, allowing them to see the world at a slower pace and move faster than before. (Inspired by Alexander's attack, Holy Judgement)

Tornado Zone, a arm-cannon meant to imitate the same attack by Pandemona, except it simply fires wind instead of sucking an enemy in and firing them out in a tornado. It can fire many different kinds of wind, and can fire wind-blades faster than anyone can swing a sword to make them.

Diablos Tome, a dark book that holds many evil spells meant to inflict pain and suffering. Most prominently, is is used for inflicting status ailments, but also holds many gravity spells, an aspect of darkness magic that is difficult to achieve.

Brothers' Grave, a large battle-axe with a large spike-ball on the opposite end. Essentially a combination of both Eidolons' weapons in one. This weapon is far more powerful, capable of crushing almost anything, but is slower and more difficult to wield.

Those are just a few, but I think it could be a great way for each character to expand and cover for their weaknesses. They'd still have some weak-points, but the other Bearers make up for that.

Ok, yeah, those things look pretty ugly and status inflictions of that number are a pain.

Drac, the trance sounds interesting.

Rigo: Hmm... a tome. Have I been categorized as scholarly mage type?

Very nice indeed. I already have an idea for my character's Eidolon weapon. It took me the longest time to find an appropriate image, and even then it's not up to my standards. I guess not many ppl are a fan of the game it's from

It's called "Raisen" which i think was supposed to be 'Raizen" from the first game, but it's essentially a spear/lance in which the front and back ends can extend in a chain-whip or form into a solid lance again. +8.7 respect points for anyone who's played said game series/ knows where this came from.



This would make up for Suri's unarmed/close-combat fighting style by allowing ranged attacks and extending his base range of attack. And, of course, it's a thunder-elemental weapon

Now I look more mech-ish i think lol.

It's not a hook, that's the other end of the spear that's showing the chain-extension part. (which both ends are able to do) Of course in the RP it's gonna be a heavy kind of spear...think of Thor's hammer if it were in a spear form lol.

I'll see if i can find a youtube clip showing this thing in action: in it's respective game of course.

Yeah I've always thought Rai/Raiden/Raizen all meant thunder in the Japanese language. So close enough lol.

EDIT: Ah well, forget guessing lol. Here is a video that shows how it's used primarily (although I could show this dude how to PROPERLY kick a** with that weapon, he hardly even uses it's thunder attack!) This is just after you get it in-game so it's completely un-upgraded
