    [Best title I could come up with. FFX did the same thing!]​

    Warning: There will be spoilers since this will occur after the game. B|
    For those who haven’t beaten the game you should know this: A Fal’Cie named Orphan was destroyed and all the other Fal’Cie of Cocoon die…without them to sustain Cocoon it begins to fall into Gran Pulse before being stopped by Vanille and Fang who turn Cocoon into crystal along with themselves(inside Cocoon). The other main characters lose their l’Cie brands and reunite with each other(this includes Serah and Dajh). Some citizens of Cocoon were evacuated so…not everybody on Cocoon dies(…I think the people in there died…<<).



    Story

    It’s been nearly a year since Cocoon turned to crystal. The former residents adjusted quite well to living on Gran Pulse even after having been fed lies that it was hell all their lives. Although Gran Pulse may not be the most peaceful land in existence with its untamed wildlife, the citizens of Cocoon were able to keep together and stay alive, filling and repopulating the old village of Oerba. The only thing that the people of Cocoon did not count on was the return of two tribes, the Yun and Dia tribes, that had once lived in the area that had come back since they found that the Cei’th did not fill the land anymore. Even though the citizens of Cocoon have come to accept living on a foreign land, they still harbor feeling of fear and hatred towards the natives of Gran Pulse just the same as those of the Yun and Dia tribes hate Cocoon.

    While the people of the two worlds do their best to settle down without killing each other in the village of Oerba signs of trouble begin to show, the first being a large crack that appears on the surface of the crystallized Cocoon. Nobody knows how it happened but the next day, much to the delight of their friends, Oerba Dia Vanille and Oerba Yun Fang make an appearance in Oerba having no recollection of finding their way out of Cocoon. They two say that they simply just woke up on the outskirts of Oerba and traveled back to their home in hopes of finding their friends…neither have the mark of a l’Cie.

    In the distance coming from the cracks in Cocoon’s shell come three Pulse Arks. As everyone watches as they disappear into the landscape to land elsewhere people begin to worry, the Arks contain a vast army with enough power to easily crush the few living in Oerba and they know that they must have come down for a reason…and must have been sent by something. Citizens of Cocoon and Gran Pulse decide to set aside their prejudices in order to take up arms against the Arks’ robotic army. Lightning, Snow, Sazh, Hope, Vanille, and Fang. Snow and Lightning both keep Serah from joining in simply because she hadn’t fought before like the rest of the group.

    As the people of Oerba begin to gather their forces a select few begin finding that they suddenly had the mark of a l’Cie. They all had just woken up from a blurry dream involving the Pulse army and an image of Cocoon bursting in flames. The l’Cie have no recollection of ever having encountered a Fal’Cie. Their Focus is uncertain but if they were to reveal themselves to their people, would they be executed out of fear of being related to the upcoming war or would they be used as tools to fight?

    Sazh, Hope, and Vanille head West near the mountains where the first Ark was seen heading towards along with a group of other volunteers. Lightning, Snow, and Fang prepare to head East where the second Ark is presumed to be. The third Ark was spotted heading South just beyond the plains where the rest of the volunteers prepare to go. Those who are unable or unwilling to fight linger in Oerba, hoping for the best…

    Rules

    1. No Godmodding or Powerplaying.
    2. You don’t start out with an Eidolon. D8<
    3. Cuss excessively as much as you want!…Do it and I’ll kick you out. Keep it PG-13.
    4. Basic knowledge of FFXIII would really help a lot in RPing here.
    5. If you want to use an existing character, you MUST have reached at least
    6. No asterisks(*) for actions.
    7. Original characters are not L’Cie anymore so they don’t have magic and can’t access summons anymore.
    8. If you want to use a summon that’s not on the list it has to be a summon used in another Final Fantasy game, appear in more than two games, and you’d have to give pictures for the summon and gestalt as well as a brief description of powers.
    9. Summons can only be used one per week in real time(not in RP time). This is to prevent overuse of them. Summons, while powerful, are not something to solely rely on.
    10. Also, say if your character is from Cocoon or Gran Pulse in the “Bio” part of the OC form. If he/she is from Gran Pulse, you can include which tribe he/she is from(although it’s not that important since it’s not like they hate each other or anything).
    11. Please have good grammar.

    Terms (For those who haven’t played)

    Fal’Cie: Beings beyond that of humans. They rarely take on a human shape and some barely take on a form at all. Fal’Cie are immortal and see humans as nothing more than puppets for them to use. They have the ability to brand humans with a mark of a l’Cie.

    L’Cie: Humans marked by a Fal’Cie. They are given a Focus, a task they are forced to complete by their Fal’Cie. The only hint they receive about their Focus is the dream they get when they are marked. If a l’Cie completes their focus they are turned to crystal and under certain conditions can awaken one day. When a l’Cie does not complete their Focus they become a Cie’th. L’Cie are gifted with magic and the mark they have will grow over time and soon an “eye” will appear on the mark and when it opens the l’Cie will become a Cie’th. The mark’s growth depends on the Focus, the l’Cie themselves, and their emotional state(in extreme shock the mark’s growth can speed up dramatically).

    Cie’th: These creatures are what the l’Cie become when they either refuse to complete their Focus or are unable to when the mark reaches its final stage. They live in regret and wander aimlessly attacking all life that crosses their path. When they have no will to go on the Cie’th become stone and cry out to other l’Cie to finish their focus for them.

    Gran Pulse aka “Pulse”: A huge landscape of filled with a variety of wild animals and a diverse geography where only the fittest survive.

    Cocoon: A floating world powered by its Fal’Cie. The people of Gran Pulse hate Cocoon just as much as the people of Cocoon hate Pulse. After recent events its Fal’Cie have died and has now sat atop a crystal structure while Cocoon itself has too become crystal. People from Cocoon had never had to worry about famine since the Fal’Cie had always taken care of them and they essentially lived a pampered lifestyle without having known that the Fal’Cie of Cocoon were merely waiting for the population to grow to offer them in a sacrifice to bring back a God-like entity known as the Maker.

    Arks: The Pulse Arks were created for several reasons ages ago, the main one being that they were meant to be used in a war against Cocoon. The interior of an Ark was meant to be used as a sort of training grounds for l’Cie so they could master their powers. The Arks contain a vast robotic army large enough to crush any force they meet.

    Eidolons: These are meant to be the “salvation” of l’Cie who are unsure of what to do next. They appear for a variety of reasons one being to take them away from their fate of becoming a crystal or a Cie’th by killing the l’Cie. If an Eidolon is beaten in combat they will submit to the l’Cie and turn into a crystal. The l’Cie can then summon the Eidolon at any time using the crystal. Gestalt mode is a transformation of the summon where the l’Cie works in tandem(usually by riding the Eidolon) with their summon.

    OCs

    Username: Arch
    Name: Ramuh Indra
    Gender: Male
    Age: Looks to be in his early 20’s.
    Bio: Ramuh was involved in a war many ages ago and was one of many l’Cie who fought off the forces of Pulse. He was chosen to fight against a fierce creature named Ragnarok which he managed to fend off. During this time he thought of nothing more than fighting to protect Cocoon and gave no thought of his fate as a l’Cie. Everything was such a blur that his strongest memory as of now is that of him waking up on the outer rim of Cocoon two years ago. Things have changed since he last remembered being awake. Now he just wants to get his old life back together…which would be easier if everyone he knew was still alive and if Cocoon hadn‘t turned to crystal.
    Personality: Once acted as an overly heroic l’Cie but has since grown resentment towards everything that has happened to him. With recent events he feels like everything he has fought for was for nothing and that now he doesn’t even have a life to get back to and would even go as far as to say he hates Cocoon. As much as he hates his situation, he finds it hard to just not lend a helping hand to those suffering.
    Appearance: http://i457.photobucket.com/albums/qq299/Tora_Fe/Anime/AnimeGuy15.jpg
    Weapon: A sword that shifts into a bladed chain whenever the wielder wishes it to.
    l’Cie: Yes
    Eidolon: Fenrir
    Other: Once had command of an Eidolon known as Bahamut but since he woke up the Eidolon has never answered his calls.

    Username: Aura
    Name: Helisi Knight
    Gender: Female
    Age: 19
    Bio: Helisi was born and raised in Cocoon. At a young age, she lost both her parents and was forced to live on her own. At first, the thought of having to take care of herself was very scary, but she eventually got used to it. She later on started working at a child care center where she helped children with social problems. She soon considered some of the children as family. However, without remembering how, she woke up one day in a strange area, simply remembering an odd dream she had before waking up. Her head throbbing out of confusion, she noticed a marking near her elbow. Once clearly seeing what it was, Helisi was now a l’Cie.
    Personality: Helisi shows herself more as the calm and collected type of person when a situation arises. Although, there can be times where she tries too hard to hide her emotions that she accidentally releases it into anger and sadness. She usually tries her best to stay calm and in a good mood to keep the people around her happy, but her mood usually drains when she's alone and able to not mask her emotions. When around other people, she’s normally relaxed and a bit playful.
    Appearance: http://i389.photobucket.com/albums/oo335/Isalie/Anime girls/asuka111.jpg
