Lunar Cry: Characters
by Mariye
======
Authors Note: Since in the FF8 book they gave a quick description of
all the characters ahead of time, I'm doing that for this too. Also,
some of them have names that mean something and may later apply to
their character, so I'm mentioning that too. I typed this up to help
me with the story, so I figured I should put this up too.
Also: I want to thank my Beta-readers: MegalomaniacHaruka and WhiteWolf
for all their help o^-^o

[Description of the lands]
(hint: Look at the map in the game guide for FF8)
After the Lunar Cry, all the lands of the world were destroyed, split
apart, or fused together. The lands of the Americas is where our story
takes place. New York has been separated, and a Haven is set up on
it. There is also an old Floridian City connected to the continents
by railroad. Where California was is a series of prisons. There are
Havens scattered across the lands. Centra is the main continent in the
South. It is a mixture of land from all the continents of the old Earth
we are used to and is considered to be a new hope for everyone. A
Utopia.
[Heros]
Terentia (ta-ren-shah) Weatta:
Age: 18
Weapon: Rapier
Hair: Dyed yellow with black tips
Eyes: Blue
Outfit: Black sleeveless turtleneck catsuit. Yellow sweatshirt over it.
What her name means: First: guardian Last: angel of the seal
Description: She is essentially a nomad Rogue. She doesn't believe
there is a sorceress or greater evil behind all the world's troubles.
All she thinks is people are looking for someone to blame for
everything. She moves across the wastelands that America once was. She
is a member of one of the many fighting Havens scattered where major
cities once were. Despite the fact that many other Rogues from the
Havens have just discovered GFs and magic, she refuses to junction
any kind of magic at all. She doesn't want to rely on anyone, mainly
because she doesn't want to shoulder someone else's troubles, or
have someone have to put up with her and shoulder her problems. She
occasionally reads tarot cards for money.
A/N: Part Squall, part Cloud, part Yuki from Persona, Revelations; and
part Rutee from Tales of Destiny. She has an attitude, but isn't that
really that opposed to letting people know her. She's essentially a
mercenary who doesn't like to talk about her past. She is smart, and
because of her skill and status is respected.
(age at Lunar Cry: 5)
Hasani Feren:
Age: 20
Weapon: His own design. He calls it a gunblade...
Hair: Black crew cut
Eyes: Brown
Outfit: Brown bomber jacket over a white shirt. Blue jeans.
Description: He is a very handsome and mysterious young man. He also
looks like an intimidating player. In reality he is a teddybear
figure. Despite the fact that most Rogues have started their profession
when they are 15 or younger, he is one of the few who got a late start,
and he joined his first guild at 17. Despite this though, he seems to
excel in his field. Of course, that may be because he is the only
person on Earth who uses a gunblade...
A/N: He's kind of like Raijin except no ya knows, bigger part, and
he's more popular. He's more of a leader.
(age at Lunar Cry: 7)
Mingrui Wu:
Age: 16 (And a half!)
Weapon: fans
Hair: Black
Eyes: Brown (They're Hazel!)
Outfit: Blue tube top. black fleece vest. Black slacks.
What her name means: bright, light, brilliant; clear; sharp.
Description: She is a happy, bright, and energetic teenager. She isn't
invited to join a Haven. She kind of... forces her way in. Like
most people, she is an orphan. She lived in China when the Lunar Cry
occured 15 years ago. When China started collapsing though, that was
when she, at age 9, snuck on board a ship destined for the old
Americas. She enjoys portraying an innocent, helpless image, then
tearing it to shreds as she attacks.
A/N: I always liked the energy and happiness Selphie added to the
game and group, and I decided I wanted someone like that as a hero.
(age at Lunar Cry: 3)
Marius Deiling:
Age: 19
Weapon: his fists
Hair: Blond bowl cut
Eyes: Blue
Outfit: Khaki pants. Black t-shirt. Dogtags. fingerless gloves.
Description: Marius is, in the opinion of all Rogues and
refugees everywhere, a waste of talent. His father was the President
before the Lunar Cry. He was always a great leader and brilliant
student. He even went to Yale, one of the only major colleges that
survived all the crisises. Instead of trying to help organize a
solution and get into politics, he threw it all away and joined a
Haven. Instead of being loved and applauded for his choice to help
others, he is disrespected by refugees and no Rogue in any standing
will work with him. He is the only one who has seen the so called
'Sorceress.'
A/N: He is named after a saint and, well would you look at that... his
last name is Deiling. What could that mean... People expected more
of him, and now he's let them down. I wanted a character in the group
who wanted to prove that he could succeed and help people by becoming
a rogue.
(age at Lunar Cry: 6)
Elona Jobey
Age: 18
Weapon: GFs and Magic
Hair: Black
Eyes: Red
Outfit: A long black cape/robe. Black pants. A black shirt.
What her name means: Alone, The Persecuted. dark, shadow.
Description: She is essentially a mystery. Havens have tried to have
her Rogue status removed, but they can never find a solid reason.
She also never carries any weapons, and rumors have said she is the
first to have junctioned GFs and used magic. Even when she has no
magic, it seems like whoever faces her falls in combat. She is very
quiet, but still is quite sociable. She blends in well with her
surroundings. She writes spells and makes potions to get by when
people won't hire her because of her reputation.
A/N: Nope, can't say anything about her, I might give away something
about the story.
(age at Lunar Cry: 5)
Beval
Age: 28
Weapon: daggers with blades on both ends
Hair: White
Eyes: Green
Outfit: Black pants and a gold necklace.
What his name means: Like the wind
Description: He is the wind, as far as anyone is concerned. He steals
to get by, and was almost removed from the Rogues because of his
gratuitous stealing. He is essentially a clown. He remembers 'the good
old days.' He often talks about wishing he could still find a White
Castle and how he misses his CD player. He always carries what he
calls a Game Boy and a new variety of skateboard he calls a T-board.
A/N: Come on, I had to have someone around someone who remembered
'the good old days' that we live in now.
(age at Lunar Cry: 15)
Seridon Zahmat
Age: 18
Weapon: Sawed off shotgun
Hair: Long Blondish
Eyes: Green
Outfit: A black leather jacket. A white tank top. Dogtags. Jeans.
What his name means: Wild one. Trouble.
Description: He is a wild one, and one of the very few people ever
removed from the Rogues. No one knows why though. He is considered
to be a charmer, and be very intelligent. Even though he was removed
from the Rogues, he managed to get his hand on a GF. He tends to
ignore what people tell him, even if it concerns his own safety. He
wants to make his own decisions and learn from his own mistakes.
Sometimes he sits around shop corners running crooked casino like
games.
A/N: Again, can't say too much or I'll give away a part of the story.
(age at Lunar Cry: 5)
[villains]
Baign Guillaume
Age: ??
Weapon: Broad Sword, later a gunblade.
Description: He is the very first Sorceress's knight. Not much is
known about him, accept he runs across America attacking shelters
and guilds for no reason in the name of some man named Hyne and a
Sorceress...
A/N: Every sorceress needs a knight. Plus a cool little fact, I
got both his names (1st + last) from names of real knights from our
past.
Sorceress Amaia Zila
Age: ??
Weapon: ??
What her name means: end. shadow.
Description: The question on everyone's mind is, is she even real?
Only a few have 'allegedly' seen her. So no one really knows if she's
real...
A/N: For some reason I think she's cool, even though I don't really
know much about her yet.
Hyne
Age: ????
Weapon: Anything he touches he can turn into a weapon
Description: All anyone knows is that, unlike the Sorceress, he truely
does exist. They're not sure if he's good or evil, because when they
see him, he never really does anything to hurt anyone, yet the
Sorceress's Knight Baign also acts in his name... There is also a
religious group that has started a religion, Hynianity, that
revolves around him, and paints him as good and the sorceress as evil.
A/N: I haven't seen a story yet with Hyne as himself and as a major
component of a story. He is definitely a villain. And he is already a
god in this story.
[Side Characters]
Wedge
Age: 19
Description: He's Hasani's friend, and even though he never seems to
fight, always as all the latest news and appears all over the world.
Cid
Age: 27
Description: He's the head of the Timber Owls Haven in Timber. He's
the youngest Haven head on the old Americas continent, and used to
be a famous Rogue until a T-Rexar bit off his leg.
Biggs
Age: 30
Description: He's the man who discovered GFs and learned Rogues can
junction them to gain strength and magic. He lives on the new Centra
continent where he gathers information about all the known GFs.
Jessie
Age: 25
Description: She is Cid's wife, and she runs a small school in Timber
for all the children who pass through. She can be overly trusting
though.
Zone
Age: 17
Description: He's Baign's head man. His assistant who usually does all
his dirty work. Its just a shame he hates the sight of blood...
