I'm fine with it, anyways, it would be nice to speed up the course of the rp a little.

​

Marlene watched the group rapidly hash out new ideas, each leader intently mentioning flaws in the others plans. She felt somewhat out of place, but she was happy everything was at peace, at least for the moment. However, she didn't realize how soon the peace had ended until a strange boy waltz through the hall and into the plan room. She felt rather awkward, for she barely recognized the boy upon first glance, but he seemed to be around the same age as her as he shuffled passed her to the others. Marlene listened and the room quickly forgot the small moment of serenity as it became a dreadful atmosphere. Marlene sighed to herself as she thought about Sasha. Even though Marlene had never really had the chance to talk to Sasha, she knew her from around the base as being one of the most sincere and kindhearted members of the Resistance.

As time became a reality to Marlene once again, she watched as Zane directed his hand to both Fae and the boy, recruiting them as part of his rescue crew. She watched as Zane readied himself for his journey, and a thought suddenly popped into Marlene's mind. She rushed over to her quiver that lay up against the wall and searched through it. She took out three small flasks that contained darkened blue liquid. She carried the small flasks over to Fae and placed them in Fae's hands. "These are potions I brewed. Their meant to replenish your energy quickly and to heal any minor wounds you may come upon. These are meant for whoever may need them, including you Fae, just in case you needn't use your healing magic. Also, I think this would be a great help to you Zane." Marlene took hold of the clasp on the necklace she pulled out, hidden under her clothes. The necklace had two pendants on it, and Marlene gently took hold of Zane's hand, laying the necklace in his palm.

"When I was young, my grandfather was friend to the King who ruled the land, and the King entrusted him with the task of creating a secret labyrinth of tunnels that ran throughout the bottom of the castle. These tunnels were meant for the king and his family's escape if the time had ever come for it, but they were never used. No one knows of the tunnels location to today, however, my grandfather was given the key that would open the door to enter these tunnels." Marlene spoke intently as she pointed to the small pendent of the two, it was the shape of the royal families crest, however, it had a white glow to it. "All you need to do is use this enchanted royal crest to find passage into the tunnels. Just find the part of the castles exterior that has the same symbol as the pendent and hold it up to the wall. Then chant the phrase "thalamum dormitabis". Reciting these two words will complete the spell and unlock the door. The Passing will never know that you are in the castle because the tunnels were well hidden. You will be able to rescue Sasha and the other slaves without notice." Marlene said with a small smile.

​

Vincent strolled over to the nearby river that flowed throughout the lively forest. He knelt down, washing his stained dagger off with a cloth he pulled from his back-pocket, listening to the cheery chirps of birds flying by. He trailed off into his own thoughts as he looked down at his reflection riddled upon the clear water. He stood up and placed the dagger into its case strapped on his belt. He walked back to the bear he had killed only a moment ago. He looked over the beast, once so powerful and strong. Vincent patted the darkened coat of fur and sighed, he hated the fact he had killed such a magnificent creature.

After gathering his bearings of where he was in the forest, he bent over to take hold of the massive bear. He tried lifting the bear, but realized that it was too large in mass. He pondered a way to transport the beast back to the base, and soon came up with a solution. He wandered into the nearby shrubbery, gathering up giant scattered leafs. These leafs were unusual in size and texture, but came from the mighty Krion tree and was much more durable and strong than any regular leaf. He weaved the many leaves together to produce a type of sling in which he rolled the bear in. Taking hold of the handle of the sling, he began to pull with effort, eventually getting moving.

Vincent trudged through the forest, admiring the spell bounding beauty the forest held within. He soon stopped a short distance, out of breath, and took a drink from some water he gathered from the river. He wiped his moistened forehead with his arm and fastened the bottle back to his belt. That's when Vincent noticed the figure resting against a nearby tree. Questioned by the presence of another, Vincent soon realized the man to be a member of the Resistance. He seemed rather tired as well, so Vincent turned away from him, thinking it would be rude to disturb him. Why would someone even talk to him in the first place, it wasn't like he could respond to them without looking like an idiot.

​

Marlene listened intently to the others contemplate the strategy that was to be used against Vex's forces. What seemed to surprise her was Fae's willful determination and worry for the citizens of the Kingdom. She wanted nothing more than to see to it the people remained safe on both sides. Marlene smiled, Fae would indeed make a suitable leader someday, unknowing to the fact that Fae was a princess to the throne. Marlene seemed a bit frazzled by the new plan to attack Vex's forces, but she was unwittingly excited for the day of battle. She let out a sigh of relief, glad that the whole epidemic that had occurred only a few minutes ago was over. She felt the scar riddled on the back of her neck, suddenly intrigued into why she had obtained it in the first place. She turned her direction back to what Fae was saying, sensing a bit of doubt in her voice. "You are filled with many brilliant ideas Fae, ideas that are bound to make you an excellent leader someday," Marlene chirped. ​

​

Vincent was taken by surprise as a massive bear emerged from the shrubbery, concluding it to be the same bear that was costing The Resistance their steady food supply. He stared at the beetle-eyed beast as it briskly licked the fallen blueberries that lay on the ground. Vincent stood calmly, the bear had not noticed him and Vincent did not want to involve himself in a battle with a creature this colossal. He slowly began to edge himself away from the bear, carefully placing one foot next to the other. He winced at the sound of the twig breaking beneath his foot, slowly looking up to make direct eye-contact with the bear. Vincent cursed in his mind as he jumped out of the way from the bear that was soon charging towards him. From the glimpse of hate in the bear's eyes, Vincent knew that he was now involved, and there could only be one survivor. He readied himself as he took hold of a small sharp dagger. He inhaled a long breath in order to concentrate, and slowly took stance. He threw back his arm at the charging bear, and cast the dagger directly at the bear. The bear came to a halt and tumbled over, the dagger had hit directly in the middle of the forehead. "Might as well bring this back to serve as dinner tonight..." Vincent thought as he slowly watched the stained dagger float back into his hand by the will of his mind. ​

​

Marlene thought she was going to fall, but she was soon caught by gentle hands. She gathered her breath and felt rather better, as though all the pain had seemingly vanished within her body. It seemed that she had won yet another battle. She was about to speak before a second wave hit her flat. She immediately touched the back of her neck, where it seemed to be the source of the pain. It felt as though something were burning itself into her, and Marlene's heart seemed to fall. She bent forward, refusing to let out a scream as she endured the pain. She tried to concentrate instead on what Caleb and Zane were saying. She herself didn't know what was wrong, which sent a shiver down her back. Then everything faded from Marlene's mind and body. She felt nor thought absolutely nothing as her hand slid down from the back of her neck. The mark on her neck had lightened in color into almost what appeared to be a white jagged-line. She looked up and a small smile played upon her lips. She spoke gently and quietly, "...I really don't understand what I just experienced, but now I can't feel anything. No pain, no hurt. It's as though the feelings just vanished." She tried to stand, "Things like that never happen..." she looked over at Fae and stopped speaking, trying not to worry her. Whatever it was, it was gone now.

​

A hour had gone and past and Vincent could be found shuffling through another section of the nearby forest. Three dead rabbits hung over his shoulder as he looked around at the surrounding shrubbery. No one had returned yet with groceries and Vincent wanted to at least put something on the table for the other members of The Resistance. Hopefully he could feed at least some of the younger members. "Maybe I should find a few more rabbits..." Vincent thought to himself as he heard a rustle in the nearby blueberry bush. Something was rather odd about the rustling, it sounded as though it was quite heavier than a small rabbit...

​

It seemed as though everyone had flocked around Marlene at the same time, all vying for answers. This is exactly what she didn't want to happen, but it seemed everyone was there. She sat down on the stool Caleb had summoned for her and looked up at the others. She tried to form a sentence, but it had seemed she couldn't speak a word without it coming out as an empty reply. She sat there quietly, wishing that she could communicate to them. She had reached the point that Fae had been at only a few moments ago and she felt her lungs began to tighten. This was her fight, as she battled against the overwhelming pain that began to devour her. She soon stopped her struggling as she felt suddenly tired. She tried standing up as the pain had reached it's climax. This was how it worked for every healing.​

​

It was more of an internal fight that only Marlene could handle, she had to prove to be strong enough to accept the darkness. She stumbled as she stood up, she had used mainly all of her power and strength to consume Fae's fate. "I-I'm..." was the only word that sounded from Marlene's quiet whisper as she fell forward towards the ground. There could be no sounds heard from Marlene, yet a rather long and jagged dark line slowly branded itself onto the back of Marlene's neck, and it could be seen from the appearance of the scar, this was not a result from the poison.​

​

Marlene was relieved to see Fae acting as her normal self again. She noticed the look of dismay that was written upon Fae's expression. Upon hearing what Fae had to say, Marlene smiled and shook her head, "No I'm fine Fae, just a little tired." She listened to Fae began to talk about a Zane fellow. So that was the name of the man that was running with Fae in his arms. "Is Zane the man who brought you here? I don't think I've ever seen him around here before." she looked around the room, Marlene hadn't even noticed that they left. "I actually don't know where they went, I was too focused on helping you at the time." she looked back at Fae,"If I had to guess, they must of ventured out into the hall, you can go look for him now. You look well enough to me." ​

​

She walked over to the board close by, where Caleb had put the plan for The Resistance's upcoming attack. She skimmed over it, then went back over the details of the attack. Marlene looked away from Fae as a burning sensation had begun to infect her lungs. She tried to control her breathing as the pain began to grow. Marlene was experiencing something of the same pain Fae had earlier. She grasped the table nearby with her sweaty palm as her breathing grew into a troubled gasp for air. It would be over soon enough. ​

​

​

Marlene didn't waste any time as she ran quickly behind Caleb, towards the hall where Fae could be located. The two soon entered the room, and Marlene soon spotted Fae as she lay on the worn table. Marlene hurried herself over to the table, failing to notice the man she had seen earlier. Her only focus was Fae at the moment. Marlene slid off her quiver of arrows, tossing it over to the side. She then gently slid her bow over her shoulder and leaned it against the wall nearby. She then approached Fae and examined her condition. It was far worst than she had expected, as Marlene rolled up her long sleeves and placed her hands over Fae. She closed her eyes and slowly began to concentrate. She focused all of her energy into her hands to her fingertips. She soon felt a rather warm energy began to radiate slowly off her hands. She opened her eyes to see her hands emit a dark-green light. She then gently pressed her hands to Fae's chest as she had found the place of darkness. Her hands stayed there for a short time as Marlene looked at Fae. She noticed as her breathing had begun to revert back to it's normal self. This however was the most difficult part for Marlene. It almost appeared to the surrounding others that Marlene had placed her hands into Fae herself, yet her hands were almost transparent as nothing but the green glow emitted from Fae's chest. Marlene then slowly lifted her hands from Fae.​

​

It looked as though Marlene held something in her hands, and as she opened them, she held a rather large orb of death. It seemed cloudy and dark and Marlene examined it more closely. It was just as she feared, Fae had nearly reached death concluded from the big sphere of darkness. This was the part that made Marlene rather weak as she took the orb and placed it into herself. This was how every healing went for Marlene. In return for her healing the sick, she would take their sickness and darkness. It was a heavy burden for a girl Marlene's age, but she wasn't frightened of what would happen to her. This is what made her unafraid. As the orb disappeared into Marlene's chest, the radiant green-glow from her hands also vanished. Marlene stood and looked at Fae, "Your fine now, there's nothing to worry about," Marlene said gently as she gave her a calming smile. She then felt rather weak as she stood there, having never taken in so much death and pain before at the same moment. ​

​

Marlene watched as the man zipped past her, Fae in his arms. A great look of dread was upon his face. As they passed her in that brief second in time, she caught glimpse of Fae. She was in a rather horrible state as she struggled to breath. The man soon was out of sight far to fast for Marlene to follow. Even though Marlene was worried, how could she find the two in time? She traveled a bit farther from the medical tent, they were still nowhere in sight. Marlene gathered back at her tent as she sat down on the side of the small medical bed. She hung her head low and began to think. "What could of caused the girl to have trouble breathing?" Marlene paced back and forth. From the condition that Fae was in, and the lingering smell that emitted from her, Marlene concluded that the young girl must of been around some sort of toxin. Maybe from the forest, that place was rather full of dangerous plants and creatures. ​

​

Marlene decided she would head out after Fae, even if she had no idea where she was. Not knowing what kind of toxin and for how long that toxin had entered Fae made Marlene more uncomfortable as she rushed towards the tent door. She stopped, turning and grabbing a metal-clasp necklace with two pendants on it. She fastened the clasp around her neck and turned to the door flap as she heard someone calling out for her. She ran outside to meet Caleb as she stopped in her tracks. She saw the fear in his eyes, and she didn't have to ask why she was needed. "Where is she?" Marlene asked as she looked around feverishly.​

​

Marlene was in her tent, attentively gathering the necessities she would need for the trip. She looked in her bag, the bag contained medical supplies just in case she couldn't heal everyone if they were all injured. Even though she had been training intensely for the last few months, she still had much to improve on. She could heal more people than before, but it still drained her after a while. After having packed her medical kit, a change of clothes, and some more arrows, she put her supplies on the little bed that lay in the corner. She set her bow down and looked over the tent space. This wasn't her actual room, this was actually the medical tent that she would reside in most of the time. She usually passed out late into the night while working in this tent. Marlene never thought it wise to always depend on her healing powers. She wanted to find remedies to sicknesses and infections that many of The Resistance were contracting the past few months. This was her passion, and she could always be found at her rather messy desk in the other corner of the tent.​

​

Her attention was directed at her books and remedy journals until she heard the commotion going on outside. She poked her head out of the medical tent, she looked around to see what everyone was glancing at, and soon she saw a man carrying a small girl. She examined the two more closely, she had never seen the man before, and he didn't look as though he resided from here. She soon noticed who the girl was, "Is that Fae?" she questioned to herself. Marlene suddenly wore a concerned look as she realized that Fae was in a horrible state. She watched as the man sprinted past the others. He was going very fast, but how was that possible. She stood outside the tent, she barely knew Fae, but she would watch as the quiet girl would wonder off into the forest every once in a while. What was wrong with her? ​

​

Marlene was rather overjoyed with the fact that she would be on the frontline with the others soon enough. Even though it sounded quite odd, she wasn't at all scared of what would happen if she went out there. "Thanks," was one of the only words that Marlene could manage. Her thoughts soon went back to the plans, she looked at Caleb and spoke with sincerity, "Whatever your final plan is, I know that you will lead us to victory. I, as well as the rest of The Resistance will always follow you, no matter what your decision is." she said as she turned her attention back to her next step. She hurriedly grabbed her bow she had set down earlier and slung it over her shoulder. "Well I'd better get prepared," she said as she looked at Caleb one last time with a reassuring smile before quickly running out of the building. She felt overjoyed as she ran past the many other resistance members, and towards her tent. She had become so lost in her thoughts that she accidentally collided with a man around her age. "I'm sorry!" Marlene said as she didn't wait for the young man's reply. Too much in a hurry, she grabbed her bow and headed onward.

​

Vincent had just wrapped up his training and began walking back to the base. He was glancing at a small ladybug as it buzzed on by. He looked back to where he was headed only to collide with a girl. If he could groan with pain, he would, but he looked up to the girl as she quickly apologized and continued her fast pace. He rubbed his head as he came back into reality and looked around him. He stood, and pattered the dust off his clothes. He was about to continue his walk when he noticed a small metal arrow dropped by the girl. He kneeled over to pick it up. He looked around to see if he could still catch up with her, but it was far too late. She was already gone. "Just great..." Vincent thought to himself as he carried the arrow with him. "If I can recall, that was Marlene Valentine, the healer. I guess I can drop it off at her tent quick." He suddenly threw the arrow into the air, and focused his energy onto that arrow. It proceeded to fly quickly as though it was being controlled by something. That something was Vincent as he used his magnetic ability to repel the arrow back into the opposite direction, flying it into the ground right outside of Marlene's tent. He looked over to see if it had made it, sure enough, there it was. Vincent gave a small grin as he continued his walk in the opposite direction.​

​

"Was I too formal? Well of course you were!" Marlene thought to herself as she saw the expression in Caleb's face. She somewhat had a knack for reading peoples' faces when she spoke to them. She could tell not from his voice, but from his expression he was somewhat annoyed. Marlene looked down at the table, the many papers spread out before her. She couldn't help but take a sudden interest in the different papers. She picked one up and analyzed it, "Are these the plans for the upcoming attack?" Marlene questioned as she took a seat. The thought of asking Caleb her question had completely slipped her mind as she looked over the different papers. Both of these plans seemed pretty dangerous to her. Striking in the heart of Vex's Kingdom, or attacking the town where Vex was supplied with weapons. How would The Resistance fair? She had become completely envious to Caleb's presence as she went into a deep thought.​

​

Sure The Resistance was big, but she had heard rumors that The Passing was becoming stronger each day. She was concerned with what would happen to all of her companions. The Passing were merciless and would immediately behead anyone who they knew were of The Resistance. Marlene had finally made her decision as she snapped back into reality. She stood up and spoke, "Caleb, I want to be put out onto the front line. I'm tired of seeing my allies run out into danger while I sit back and do nothing on the sidelines! I am not the weakling that everyone makes me out to be. I've been training for over the last three months, pushing myself, and I know that I'm finally ready for this. So please, let me fight." She spoke intensely from the heart. However, what she said was true, she hated not being able to help, and she wanted for once to be out there. For some reason, whenever an attack was formed, Marlene was always left behind because she was thought of as being helpless. She wanted to change that, and she wanted to protect the others as they had protected her.​

Zack and Cloud. I love Zack because he hold honor above all else as a SOLDIER. Loved him in Crisis Core, and his many squat-offs! I also liked Cloud, hes okay in FF7, but I loved him in Crisis Core. He always looked up to Zack, and looked to Zack as his friend. He starts as a shy and innocent Infantryman ro a tainted and dark outcast. What's not to love!

In FF7, I loved the dynamic duo of Reno and Rude. They were ultimately hilarious in the film as Reno tried to act cool, and Rude took out another pair of shades to replace the other. I love how they acted as Turks throughout the games and the movie.

For me, It would have to be Zack Fair. Loved playing as him in FF7: Crisis Core. Who doesn't love the squat-off! Zack puts above all else his honor as soldier, just as Angeal did. He is kind, funny, and in the end becomes a never-forgotten hero as he dies for Cloud... *sniffle*

I also love Cloud Strife. Not his FF7 version, but rather post FF7. I loved him in Crisis Core as I got to see why he became the emotionally distressed character he is today. In Crisis Core, he looked up to Zack and wanted to follow him to the end. He is hilarious to interact with in the game as he at one point comes off the plane, being the only one to have air-sickness. However, Cloud is kind, quiet, and dependable.

Playing Rayman Origins! I really love chasing those red treasure chests.
