SeeD: Sprouting a New Generation. (A Final Fantasy VIII RP)

[Lunasa]

Context:
Ten years have passed since the phenomena of Time Compression. A new Sorceress has taken the reigns of power, but this time utilizing a more dangerous puppet: Esthar. With enough deadly technology to make the world quake in its boots, the sorceress imprisoned its Presidential Leader, Laguna Loire and took office herself. With a constant knife at Loire’s throat, a new super weapon is under development. After countless missions, SeeD and Garden have discovered its intention: with the aid of Lunatic Pandora, and a women named Ellone, Esthar intends to force Time Compression once again, and each past, present and future, the Lunar Cry will be unleashed from each and every time period on to one focal point in the world.
However, mercenaries of Garden have captured Ellone, and her hiding place is unbeknownst to anyone except Quistis Trepe, Irvine Kinneas, and Squall Leonhart, the leaders of Trabia, Galabadia, and Balamb Gardens respectfully. The armies of Galabadia and Garden now mobilize for new battle. This time, Rinoa Heartilly’s on the opposing side.
In Balamb Garden, a mundane student life still exists. Even with the war, classes continue, and days strip away as Esthar grows in power, threatening to destroy the entire world.

Objective:
As a SeeD Canidate, it is your job to become a strong, battle-heartened fighter. SeeD is meant to fight the Sorceress, and if your heart is not determined, it is wise to reconsider a new life. You attend class in order to gain experience in battle, for when the title of SeeD is attained, the battles are real, and every life hangs in the balance.

Rules for Rping:
Everyone starts as a SeeD canidate, between the ages of 15 and 20. No one may have any supernatural powers(including GF) at the start of the RP to any extent. Characters must human, and not part monster, sorceress, etc. No one may be related to any Tilmitts, Kinneas’, Leonharts, Dinchts, Trepes, Kramers, Almasys, Loires, Seagills, Zabacs, Heartillys or any other cannon FFVIII lineage without clearing the story via PM. Weapons must be simple, and technogically canon(I.E. No plasma rifles, RPG rocket launchers, etc. Also, anyone adopting the Gunblade must PM me first for approval). And again, PM me if you have any questions or if you feel that some matter needs addressing.

Sorry that my computer has decided to completely spazz out on me (><), but the role of DM has been delegated to Fehrant until further notice. Those of you who still wish to join, Carbon-Copy to Fehrant as well as myself.

UPDATE:
ALRIGHTY! The first post has finally been made and can be found here. If you have questions or concerns PLEASE either post them or PM me. Or I'm on MSN whenever I'm lurking about ([email protected]).

UPDATE:

And as for the OOC comments, the double parenthesis is sort of a story editing tool. This is to insure that if main storyplots are misinterpretted, they can be 1) called to attention so the next poster does not make the next mistake and 2) so that the poster in question doesn't fail to read a reply in the OOC thread or neglect it (as I see, sometimes). I however, urge again that the tool is used only to address or correct issues within the IC text.

The double parenthesis rule is (as stated above), not meant for abuse. Use as follows:

((INSERT TEXT HERE))

As a final note: As soon as the story-based issue has been dealt with, take down the unnecessary parenthesis ASAP. I don't want any "13U7 THEREZ N0 M1574k35!" replies. X.x...

THANK YOU!

UPDATE:

Also another clarification. Post your character's actions only, unless it is discussed beforehand. Something like in the format of this one, from my website:

UPDATE:
On side/secondary characters:

Basic guide to them(and I even said this to Fehrant)is to keep them real. They will not always be in the same Dorm as your character; they have a life of their own. And most importantly: THEY DO NOT ATTEND CLASS WITH YOU. Even if they're a SeeD canidate as well, they are in a different class, no questions asked. Thank you.

If you have any questions on side characters, feel free to ask, as usual.
