Sadly, the game never animated the famed Butt-Armor *infinite tears*

My icons are from earlier in the game, because Squeenix never graced us with animations of the Butt-Armor, to the dismay of Tactics fans everywhere.

Hello all! If you’d like to get a holiday card from me, please give me your info (name and address) below. I’ll screen the comments.

im not good at fancy drawings, so you’ll most likely get a store bought card with a message inside. If inspiration strikes and I have enough free time, you might end up with a ceramic ornament as well. No guarantees though!

Ramza Beoulve
not-most-days James Kidd Assassin’s Creed 4- Black Flag Her real name is Mary Read, but she introduced herself as ‘Kidd’ and had never told me to call her differently. She’s a reliable ally and a friend. We’ve traveled together, and though we have different methods for implementing it, we both want to make the world a better place.	bright-and-blue Graham Specter Baccano! Someone needs to keep a vigilant watch over him. He does not seem to know whether he wants to be a Hero or a Villain. ~~Also, he might be interested in Zelda~~. I suppose I do owe him an apology for entering him into the moogle date auction, though....	damn-juicebox Rukia Kuchiki Bleach A ‘Soul Reaper’, one who guides the souls of the departed to the afterlife. She is someone you could trust with the fate of departed loved one. We went on a date, though she seems to have no interest in romance. She has some strange notions about courtship, but she seems like a good person and I hope to get to know her better.
theendiswherewestartfrom Jack Harkness Dr Who/Torchwood After risking our lives together at our first peace talks with Kurma, I thought Captain Harkness was a man worthy of my respect and trust. But his word of honor means nothing, and he would sow seeds of dissent to achieve the ‘greater good’. He would get along well with Delita, I think, but I will place my faith in him no longer.	greenmagick Terra Branford Final Fantasy VI She was a damsel in distress when I first met her, but she has grown stronger since then. Her past is a mystery, even to herself, but I can tell that she has a gentle soul and does not deserve the suffering her old life bestowed on her. I want to keep protecting her, but I think there is another who can do so better than I.	neverfirstclass Cloud StrifeFinal Fantasy VII He is not the same Cloud that came to Ivalice. He seems…happier. I almost hope he does not become the broken man I knew, though I treasure the friendship I had with him. I still feel a kinship to Cloud, and I want to make sure he is taken care of here in Crystallis. I wish there was a way to tell him this without sounding like a madman.
shinrasfinest Sephiroth Final Fantasy VII He wields Masamune, one of the great swords of legend. He is a respected general in the army here, though some of those from his home world seem to regard him with suspicion. He has succumbed to darkness in the past and when under the influence of black magic, but I think he is a good man nonetheless. ~~He would not have won Terra’s heart otherwise~~.	woman-of-strife Tifa Lockheart Final Fantasy VII A brawler of great skill. It is dangerous to make her angry, but she protects her friends with an unrivaled ferocity. I let her down when I allowed Yuffie to be captured, and I still do not know if she had truly forgiven me for that.	thegreatestninja Yuffie Kisaragi Final Fantasy VII Yuffie is very precious to me. She needs a big brother to watch over her and take some of her burdens. Some of the Heroes view her as mischievous, but I think it is a mark of her strength that she can be so joyous and high-spirited despite the pressures of her royal responsibilities. I let her down once, and I pray I will not fail her again.
grandsummon Yuna Final Fantasy X A stalwart ally with strong summoning magic. She has stood beside me in battle several times, and she places the wellbeing of others above her own safety. I admire her, and consider her a friend.	whereishe Yunie Final Fantasy X [AU] A curious individual, and not just because she is the second Yuna I know. She has known loss, but she does not let that control her. She is also a musician. I showed her my father’s grass whistle.	desertbloomed Ashelia Final Fantasy XII A Queen of Ivalice from a different time. I consider her my kinwoman, though she well outranks me. I would pledge my service to her if she asked, though I sometimes question her methods. She has had to make many hard decisions, and I do not envy her burdens.
unyieldingspirit K’pandolu Tohka Final Fantasy XIV A skilled fighter. We have fought many battles together, and we talked during the ‘time loop’. She has a sensible head on her shoulders, and is a reliable ally.	unitesearthandsky Link Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword The warrior who organized the Aqures Ixen militia, and Zelda’s Hero. I think I embarrassed him when I asked him about his relationship with Zelda. He seems reliable in a fight, though I wish he would declare his intentions for his lady with less reluctance.	goddessofthesky Zelda Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword One of the kindest souls I have met. She is a Goddess, but she reminds me most of my little sister. If she did not have a Hero she cherished, I would pledge my sword to her protection.
gomu-ningen Monkey D Luffy One Piece The most unlikely of companions. A pirate that defies description. Luffy and I have disagreed in the past, but he has a pure soul and an unwavering determination to do what is right. I count myself lucky to be a part of his crew.	charming-jerk Johnny D’Amico Original Character A musician with a penchant for getting into trouble. He wants to be a good Hero, though, and his heart is in the right place. He seems to have a few Heroes vying for his affections, and I only hope that whomever he chooses to entrust his heart to will help him stay on the right path.	2hell-weride MarKus Haley Original Character An excitable blacksmith. He was by my side during one my darkest memories, trying to ease my suffering. He helped me construct a memorial to the people we have lost, donating his craftsman’s skill out of kindness. I think we have much in common, and I am glad to have him as an ally.
needsteaplz Saori Nakagawa Original Character My first roommate’s former lady-love. I should have reached out to her when he crystalized. She seems to be doing well now, though, and I think she might have found love again. I never quite know what to say to her, but I hope her happiness lasts.	umslay Ales Mansay Rayman An intellectual in a peculiar package. I respect his knowledge and his ability to pilot an airship. He is one of the more sensible of Heroes, but he showed great bravery during the Estham invasion and a few other battles.	forcegalactic Barkeep The Thrilling Adventure Hour My ~~not-Dad~~ roommate. He keeps an eye out for me, and he’s made our house much more inviting. I appreciate his desire for peace and quiet ~~though I wonder about these strange writings he devotes himself to~~.
journal Sparks Nevada The Thrilling Adventure Hour The Sheriff of Aqures Ixen. He is a bit rough around the edges, but he upholds the law with great passion. I cannot tell what he thinks of anyone or anything in Crystallis, but he has done more than his share to protect the people here, which is what matters the most.

( Dated Feb 26th (Pisces 7) )

( (Dated December 28th/Capricorn 6) )

( Dated December 30th/Capricorn 8 )

( Dated January 1st/Capricorn 10 )

So, for planning purposes, here are the abilities Ramza will be getting back:

(Although my game version of Ramza has ALL THE CLASSES mastered, I am sticking with warrior classes instead of mage classes, since all of the cut scenes and art in the game have him featured as with swords, armor, etc. Hopefully that will prevent him from being OP.)

General Fighting Abilities (and equipment):
Ramza will start out armed to the teeth (Weapons store discount FTW), and he will know how to use them. He will have a sword and probably a few knives. He has the Dual Wield Ability, so he can use two (one-handed) weapons at once. In addition, he has the THROW ability, so if he is out of slicing range, he can hurl a blade at an enemy. If he runs out of weapons, he is also skilled enough at the Monk/Martial Arts style of fighting to hold his own with his fists.

Special Abilities:
Squire Class- (Info from FFwiki)

Focus: Increase physical attack power.

Rush: Attack by ramming into the enemy's body.

Stone: Lob a stone at a far-off foe

Salve: Remove several status ailments. Removes: Blind, Silence, Poison.

Tailwind: Boost an ally's Speed.

Chant: Sacrifice HP to restore twice as much to an ally.

Steel: Encourage an ally, increasing their Bravery.

Shout: Increase Bravery, Speed, and physical and magickal attack power with a hearty battle cry.

As for the ill effects caused by the event, Ramza will start feeling...off...at first, gradually growing weaker. It is the effect felt by his father after sustained Mossfungus Poisoning. In large doses, the poison can incapacitate a person, but in small amounts, it is less noticeable of a drain. So, basically, he will have a poison status effect, but one that is so subtle that he won't notice at first.

Please feel free to leave me any feedback for Ramza Beoulve here! Let me know where I can improve.

( If a thing can be endeavored... )

Current Mood: hopeful

[From the Diary of Renee Vivis, Future Star!!!

Dated Oct 27th, [year illegible]]

Dear Diary,

I am SO EXCITED!!!!<3 (: (: (: Uncle Sig says his creepy experiment in the basement is done!! Maybe now, the kids at school will stop treating Roni and me like we’re creepy ):

Nanny Beth says they’re just scared of us, but they are SO MEAN sometimes. UGH!!!! Dominia pulled my hair at school and called me a freak O: T_T D:< (When she walked past the house, a gizzard popped out and tripped her right into a big puddle of mud HAHAHA!)

Anyway, Uncle says they won’t bother us anymore! I think it’s true, because our next door neighbor made us dinner tonight. It was a mega-yummy feast, too. That must mean they like us again!

My ~~stomack stumack~~ tummy is kinda hurting now (guess I ate too much delicious food!), so I’m gonna go to bed now. Tomorrow, I’m gonna tell you about how great life is now, Diary!

[This is the last entry in Renee’s diary.]

Research Notes:

Dated Sept 2^nd, (year illegible)

…tests failed. I wonder if the magick can be kontained within a single entity. Bartolomei has suggested inkorporating various elements into my design. I think this kould aid in kontrolling the rogue forces surrounding this house. I have written to fellow skholars in Balecia and Aqures, and plan to send them my kase study in hopes that they will be able to lokate rekords of layered magick like this house kontains…

Dated Sept 17^th, (year illegible)

…written a kase study for the library in the Kapital. My hope is that when other skholars learn of this dilemma, they might offer me insight into kontrolling the magick.

[Tucked in this entry is what appears to be a few pages of a rough draft.]

The Vivis Mansion has housed a long line of mages. Rekords going back fourteen generations konfirm that each family member, upon mastering their job klass, used their magick to kast a spell of protektion upon the ancestral home. Oral tradition suggests that this practice dates back much further than the first written rekords.

In recent times, this protection has begun to manifest more strongly than it had previously. Even minor acts of violence trigger the protektive spells. This scholar personally witnessed multiple such okkasions. In one instance, a child pushed the scholar’s nephew while playing tag. The child was forcibly thrown back by a strong gale of wind and received a minor konkussion.

It is this scholar’s suspicion that the konstant layering of spellwork over the home has made the magic unstable and potentially dangerous. Attempts to dispel the protektions have failed. This scholar suspects that the difficulty in reversing the spells arises from the varied sources and the entangling of their spells over time…
