Extras

Welcome to a chapter that I decided to devote myself entirely to the void of randomness that is my mind.

Kendal: Did you just admit you're insane?

Me: (Doesn't waste any words and mauls)

Kendal: (sulks) Sick SOB…

Anyway, ignoring this, er, person (Kendal: (dirty look)), let's start with this first edition of "If the story was the game"!!

Skits

I imagined these when I was first developing Kendal's character, so I could let him drop hints about himself.

If only I had been one of the producers… .

What's with the scarf?

Lloyd: (surprised expression)…

Kendal: Uh, why the heck are you staring at me?

Lloyd: (normal expression) Well, I was just looking at your scarf, and I was wondering-

Kendal: Just why it's so long?

Lloyd: (surprised expression) How did you know!?

Kendal: (sarcastic face) Well, everybody wants to know that. Basically, it's the first thing they ask about me. I guess you're no different, huh?

Lloyd: No different in what?

Kendal: The order of questions you ask. Lemme guess… now you'll be asking why I'm wanted.

Lloyd: (freaked-out look) What the-

Kendal: (musing look-Arms behind head) Keh… amateurs. Seriously.

Unothorodox Medicine

Zelos: (suffering expression) Owww…

Kendal: Oh, hello, Chosen.

Zelos: (surprised) Ack! Wh-what the-

Kendal: Chill out already, seriously! I'm on your side, for heaven's sake…

Zelos: (suffering expression) But you sure don't act like it…

Kendal: Oh, yeah… I remember… (evil expression)

Zelos: Hey, what are you- (surprised expression)

Kendal: I'm trying to give you medicine. Literally.

Zelos: …

Kendal: Now… pushing time.

Zelos: (suffering expression, face rattles) Nooooo!!!- Owww…

He was giving Zelly the death stare. Keh heh heh… This one and the one above all take place if you wander the field for a while.

Reasons for knowing

Kendal: (tilted head)…

Colette: …

Kendal: …Interesting. So this Cruxis Crystal means…

Genis: (sad expression) …Yeah. She's the Chosen of Sylvarant, and right now, she's lost her-

Kendal: Soul.

Genis: Yup. …Hey… (surprised expression) How did you know that!?

Kendal: I just… know. Well, I do have a reason to know, but I don't think this would be a nice time to tell you. (leaves)

Genis: Hey! Wait up!

Takes place while going to retrieve the Rheairds, as in going up the mountains (Not the field, going up)

Names

Kendal: Hmmm…

Lloyd: Uh, mister-

Kendal: It's Kendal.

Lloyd: Oh, now I remember… Uh, Kendal, why are you staring at us?

Kendal: I'm trying to figure out their names without any embarrassment.

Lloyd: Oh… do you-

Kendal: Want to tell me? That would be better than guessing… So, yes.

Lloyd: (surprised) Do you have a habit of knowing what words people are about to say?

Kendal: It's just logic. Pretty much nothing else. So, will you tell?

Lloyd: Alright… (normal expression) That girl with the pink bow on her back's Sheena, the pink-haired girl with the pig tail's Presea, the one with the red hair's-

Kendal: Zelos Wilder. I'd just prefer to call him Zelly, though.

Lloyd: (happy face) Wow! That's the perfect name to call him! How'd you come up with that?

Kendal: Zelos sounds too weird to be a good name, so I came up with another one. Oh, and lemme guess, the blonde over there with the wings… She's Colette, right?

Lloyd: (regretful face) …Yeah…

Takes place directly before you fight Pronyma on the summit of the Fooji mountains (AS in, right before you go tot he part of the summit before Yuan's trap is sprung)

Not this time

Lloyd: Uh, Kendal, could I ask you something?

Kendal: What?

Lloyd: Why were you in a trance back up on the mountaintop?

Kendal: Well…

Raine: Yes, I'd believe that you should tell us.

Genis: I mean, Kratos was wincing when he blocked the sword you threw!

Kendal: I'm not sure that you'd trust me enough to believe me.

Raine: Of course we trust you. You saved us, and besides, you're against both Cruxis and the Renegades, aren't you?

Kendal: Well, yeah, but…

Genis : (happy face) C'mon, tell us!

Kendal: No thanks… Oh, come on, are we going to return Presea to the Kate girl or whoever she was or not?

Lloyd: Oh yeah, let's go, guys!

Genis, Lloyd, Raine disappear from screen

Kendal: Sigh… I seriously need to be more open. …But I guess sooner or later, there's going to be a much better time to tell them, I guess….

This takes place going down the mountains, directly after the first fight with Pronyma.

Me, the teacher?

Genis: (shocked) Woah!

Kendal: What?

Genis: How'd you do that spell back there?

Kendal: Lemme guess... since you are a magic user, then I'm thinking you want to learn it from me.

Genis: Well, yeah, so can you!? (gleeful face) I'll call you Professor if you teach me!

Kendal: Whaaaat?!?!?! (shocked expression) What the- I- Heck, I can't teach you that!

Genis: How come?

Kendal: They're my own brand of magic, those spells are unique to me! And besides, I swear, I suck at teaching...

Genis: (sulky) Darn. Better try next time. I'll hound him until he does, that can't be his real reason. He must be (enraged) trying to make me weaker than him!

Man, Genis sure is paranoid... This takes place after you've fought the three convicts in the sewers. Oh, and this can only happen if you bothered casting a spell during the fight (See the technique section for details).

Braver than me!?

Kendal: Stupid things. They just won't... freaking... get out of the way...

Zelos: (laughing) Ahahahaha! You must scared if you're stuttering!

Kendal: What-? Hey, if you could hear my words clearly and seperately, then I so as hell did NOT stutter!

Zelos: Ahahaha! Don't be in denial. Everybody knows that the great Zelos is the bravest man in the kingdom!

Kendal: (evil look) Hey, look behind you.

Zelos: What is it? Do you want me to sign your autograph or- AAAAAAAHHHHHH!!! (shocked face) (leaves screen)

Kendal: Dumb narcissist.

Zelos's narcissism has been a sticking point for my Zelos resentment for as long as I can remember playing Tales of Symphonia. So, I decided to exemplify just how deep it goes. As you can see, this takes place in the Gaoracchia Forest.

Attitude Problem

Kendal: (enraged face) UGH! DAMN THESE SICKS SONS OF-

Raine: Kendal!

Kendal: (normal face) What?

Raine: That is very offensive language that shouldn't be uttered by anyone.

Kendal: What're you telling me to do, lady?

Raine: (ticked off look) You will not utter anything of that sort to a teacher like me!

Kendal: Says who?

Raine: You should always respect your elders! Unlike your current attitude!

Kendal: You're my elder? Pfft, you don't have any jurisdiction over what somebody does if you can kick them in their ass. And besides, you cannot do to me. Case closed. (exits)

Raine: That... that... that disrespectful young man! He should pay some respect for once! Ohh, that attitude...

This is a little ol' piece of Raine bashing I longed to write, but it seemed that no playable character in the game could openly rebel against thy ebil domination of Raine Sage... (shudders) This takes place as you're aobut to enter Mizuho after you've left the Gaoracchia Forest.

Equipment

Well hey, everybody has to have equipment, right? This took me hours to invent names for Kendal's equipment, so please don't criticize me for bad names. Pretty please?

Weapon: Diamond Edge (Power- 860, No other extras) An excellent blade with a diamond edge. Heavy, but very sharp. (Note that since Kendal doesn't get a replacement until the very end of this fic, I put the cleaver's power in the high end of the spectrum. Don't hurt me...) Catagory- Cleaver

Head: Brown Headband (Yes, a headband in the beginning hours of the game. Oh my.) (Defense- 28, Intelligence- 15, Accuracy- 5)

Arm: Beorawan(Yes, weird name, but hey, it's ancient elvish. Yes, I'm inventing a language.) Defense- 32, Intelligence- 5

Body: (Hell, this has to be included, otherwise it couldn't be in the game at all, remember?) Splint Mail- (Hey, I couldn't invent everything for him) 34 Defense, no other effects

Accessory 1 and 2: None (Hey, they weren't noted yet, were they? So, I'll hold giving him until later.)

Techniques

Yes, this is what you have been waiting for- A list of new techs that I invented. Yes, its true- All techs that will be listed are completely new, and they took me hours to invent. Note that at the rundown (see bottom of page) that Kendal is still at a level that where there are yet more techs to learn. So, keep your fingers crossed!

The moves in the center are the low-level moves that have family that extend either to the T or S side. So, this means that the moves which are in the center but also without any "roots" are just moves that are standalone ones. The spells are marked with an exclamation point (!). There's a set of techniques that are related to the spells, also (But are currently unrevealed). Also, the moves that are on either side corrospond to T (to the left) and S (to the right side) and the ones below certain Level 2 moves (The levels are marked) are, of course level 3 moves. Also, I've let Kendal use some moves that are separated by the type barrier, but as an author, its in interest of the reader, remember?

Oh, and remember- Certain moves without any higher leveled cousins will be marked as moves that have cousins that need higher levels to show themselves.

Dominating Blade(Level 1)

Dominating Edge(Level 2)---Dual Dominating Blade (level 2)

Aeroslicer(Level 1) (More techs later)

Damnation(Level 1)

Fury Damnation(Level 2)---Stunning Damnation(Level 2)

Wolf Fang (Level 2)

Wolf Fang Rain(Level 3)---Wolf Fang Pulse(Level 3)

Drop Dragon(Level 2) (More techs later)

Blade Rocket (Level 3, standalone)

Razing Twister(!)

Grave Wave(!)

Aquatic Implosion(!)

Static Spike(!)

Current possible Unison Attacks

Chilling Rocket (Ice Tornado/Freeze Lancer + Blade Rocket) (Kendal and Genis)

Kendal does a regular Blade Rocket (As in slashes the enemy up in the sky with him, spirals downward rapidly, taking his opponent with him, and lands creating a spiral cutting wind) but finishes it with a spiral pattern of ice spikes that spiral around him and obviously spike the enemy to death (Hopefully).

Static Beast (Any move from the Beast series + Static Spike) (Lloyd and Kendal)

Lloyd does a Hunting Beast, but on the final hit instead of a shockwave a thick circle of spikes that represent the first part of the spell erupts instead. Lightning then strikes the spikes, al la the spell itself, but since the enemy will be hit by at least three of the spikes and sent upwards, the effect of spell is amplified threefold. It doesn't help that the resulting lightning will strike funnel-style like the original spell. Shock times three, people.

Damning Destruction (Kendal and Presea) (Any move from the Destruction family and a move from the Damnation family of the same level)

Kendal does a Damnation that has twenty hits instead of a normal five- There's also lots of rocks blasted up with each slash, amplifying the effect of the weakened (But more numerous) slashes.

Titles

(This part, I really got writers block concerning this, so there's only two titles now. (mobbed))

Basic: Rouge (He's the one that does have a care in the world. He breaks rules as a habit.)

Other: Hitman (Recieved at level 40) (Whether you like it or not, he can come after you. Or anybody. Preferably who he hates.)

Rundown

Level: 45

Total number of moves (Includes all moves including possible-to-learn ones): 16


Sorry if the rundown was disappointingly short. I've had a serious case of writers block lately. Well no, a minor case that caused me to go and write this. (sighs)
