P L O T
Gaia is at peace, the ebb and flow of its souls now more usual; with the beautiful Queen Garnet on the throne it seems like everything will fine.
But all is not well; far from mistrustful eyes a hidden race strives to live. The Genome’s have found ways to extent the lives of their magical benefactors but only ever for short amounts of time; these kindly former shadows are condemned to fade away unless an answer is found.
Set roughly five years after FF IX, this RP finds the 14 year old, Vivi Orunitia heading back out onto Gaia; with the help of his friends he hopes to unlock Gaia’s deepest secrets and once again parley with death.
~ Adapted by PilotloverConditions of Play and Notes:
In the Five yeas since the end of IX, a lot has happened to the former heroes and I leave it up to you as to what this could be; this should be dictated in the history section of the character sheet but there is no need to go back into what was covered in the game.
You are allowed to have non-canon characters in this RP but they will not be as strong as one of the heroes and their sheets will need a little bit more detail.
"Routinely a set of numbers will appear either at the top or bottom of one of my posts, this will gradually make sense so do not be too perplexed at the start." ~ Pilotlover
The ressurected Villians stands for characters who can reacure as dreams or even parts of a characters imagination if it is strong enough, we have seen this adapted by characters in the past as both Quina and Vivi have shared the same visual representation of Quan. If you would like theses characters to have a more delevoped storyline just PM the details~ Mizz Fujin

 L O C A T I O N.Final Fantasy IX takes place primarily on the four continents of a world named Gaia.
Mist Continent
Most of Gaia's population resides on the Mist Continent, named so because the entire continent is blanketed in thick mist. The Mist Continent features four factions: Alexandria, Lindblum, Burmecia, and Cleyra. Each country is separated by mountain ranges; the isolated Cleyran civilization, nestled in a giant tree in the desert, is protected by a sandstorm summoned by the village elders.
Lands outside the Mist Continent — the Outer, Lost and Forgotten continents — are uncharted territories not explored.
Several locations on the parallel world consist of Terra and the dream land of Memoria R A C E S.
Gaia is inhabited by humans and various non-human races. Alexandria and Lindblum are both populated by a mix of humans and anthropomorphic animals. The Burmecians are anthropomorphic rats who live in both Burmecia and Cleyra. The Cleyrans, who value dance, split from the Burmecians when the latter started to appreciate "the art of war" Their culture specificly modifying themselves as Dragoon Knights. The dwarves are short humanoid creatures who appear as inhabitants of the village of Conde Petie on the Outer Continent. There is also a village of Black Mages that have gain sentient thought which reside in the Outer Continent as well. Then there are Genomes which are soulless vessels who exist in Terra to wait for the restoration of Terra when it takes over Gaia; when this occurs, the Terran souls will enter the Genome bodies. Summoners are similar to other humans, but with a horn on their forehead. Lastly, the Qu are large, seemingly androgynous humanoids, who are recognized as fine gourmands. They inhabit marshlands throughout the world where they catch their main source of nutrition: frogs.

One piece is given to the three kingdoms (at the time) of Burmecia, Lindblum and Alexandria. The last piece is taken by the summoners and kept a secret in Madain Sari on the Lost Continent. Soon afterwards, a civil war breaks out in Burmecia over whom should be in control of the Crystal.

Garland prepares to kill Kuja, though stops when he realizes he could make Kuja become his "Angel of Death" and help rebuild Terra.

1787
After several years of plotting and planning, Kuja kidnaps Zidane and deposits him on Gaia. What use would his replacement be, Kuja thought, if he had to interact with humans? Zidane is taken into the care of Baku, leader of Tantalus.
1790
The Invincible destroys Madain Sari. Jane (Dagger's mother) and Sarah flee from the burning city and end up in Alexandria. Unfortunately Jane dies in the stormy seas, leaving only her young baby girl afraid for her life, floating towards Alexandria Castle. When she arrives at the castle, the Royal Family is amazed how much she looks like the recently-deceased Princess Garnet, and has her horn removed. She becomes the "new" Princess Garnet.

Brahne has a Black Mage factory created in Dali. Kuja plots a war between the great nations, hoping that through it he will be able to gain Garnet's Eidolons. Vivi was "born" in July of this year. Quan fishes Vivi "out of the sky" and takes him into his house, intent on eating him. Quan decides not to, however, and becomes Vivi's surrogate Grandfather.

July 1799
Regent Cid of Lindblum is married, and the first non-mist powered Airship is built. It is named the Hilda Garde I.

Princess Garnet's 16th birthday. She is "kidnapped" by Tantalus, while trying to escape herself. The game begins.
January 21, 1800
Burmecia is conquered by the Alexandrian army. Zidane, Freya, Vivi and Quina over hear Kuja pledge his devotion to Queen Brahne's cause. They rescue a Burmecian soldier, and end up fighting Beatrix, who in turn completely destroys them. The party sees Kuja for the first time, before he departs for Treno on his Silver Dragon.
January 22, 1800
Princess Garnet is captured after returning to Alexandria, and put to sleep. She is placed within the dungeons while they wait for the extraction of her Eidolons.
January 23, 1800

January 27, 1800
Dagger acquires the Ramuh Eidolon and makes for Lindblum. On her way there, however, she sees her mother cast Atomos on the great city, destroying a great deal of it. The invincible sucks the dying souls from the city, then everything disappears. Alexandrian Soldiers enter the city and take temporary control.
February 2, 1800
Kuja arrives at the Iifa tree and watches as Zidane's group arrives, followed shortly by Queen Brahne and her fleet. Brahne feels she no longer needs the assistance of Kuja and makes a valiant attempt to kill the man. She summons Bahamut, but Kuja calls upon the Invincible to bend the will of the Eidolon and has it attack Brahne's fleet. Meanwhile, Zidane and the crew fend off Mistodons and eventually find the Leviathan Eidolon: A powerful Eidolon, though water based so completely useless in this fight. Brahne dies.
February 6, 1800
With the Mist completely gone from the world, the production of new Black Mages becomes impossible. Kuja, realizing this, makes for the Black Mage Village on the Lost Continent and persuades them to help him in his cause, under the condition that he will grant them longer life-spans. Only a few stay behind.
February 10, 1800
Princess Garnet is now in command, and is preparing for her coronation as Queen of Alexandria. Everything seems to be peaceful. Kuja appears, however, and calls upon Bahamut to destroy the city. Garnet and Eiko meet at the top of the Alexandrian Castle, where the true nature of this great castle is revealed: It is actually the dormant Alexander. Kuja, impressed by its sheer power, attempts to capture it with the Invincible, but Garland has other plans. From within the great airship, Garland destroys Alexandria. Alexandria is decimated, though Kuja, Zidane and Dagger make it out just in time.
February 12, 1800
Kuja awakens, though severely damaged from the attack in Alexandria. Taking the Hilda Garde I, he flees to the Desert Palace.
February 16, 1800
Kuja, foreseeing that Zidane will come after him, begins to rest at his Palace. Zidane awakens from the attack. Dagger has lost her voice due to emotional strain.
February 20, 1800
Zidane and company arrive at the Desert Palace, only to be captured. Kuja bribes Zidane into retrieving the Gulug Stone from Oeilvert on the Forgotten Continent, threatening to kill the rest of the party otherwise. Oeilvert, an ancient city of Terra, has a barrier around it that prevents magic use within. Since Kuja's main strength lies in his magical abilities, he cannot go and forces Zidane into the job. Kuja mentions that he sends Zidane because "no one likes to fight themselves..."
February 22, 1800
Zidane, having conquered Oeilvert, returns to the Desert Palace and hands over the Gulug Stone. The crew quickly find out Kuja's real plan, however: He wishes to enter Gulug Volcano with the Gulug Stone, and extract the Eidolons from Eiko! The process is an extremely dangerous one for children under the age of 16, and Kuja does not wish to wait until Eiko matures.
February 23, 1800
Kuja arrives in Esto Gaza and passes through to Gulug Volcano. He gains entry with the Gulug Stone, and heads to the basement of the massive Volcano.
February 25, 1800
Zidane and the gang arrive to save Eiko, though it appears they're too late: Zorn and Thorn are already performing the ceremony to extract the Eidolons. Mog, Eiko's best friend, goes into a trance to save her. In a massive surge of power, the young moogle becomes the Eidolon Madeen and quickly puts an end to Kuja's plans, as well as Zorn and Thorn. Yet this does not shatter Kuja's disposition: he concocts a new plan to enter a trance himself. The team recovers the Hilda Garde I, as well as Hilda herself, then return to Lindblum. Hilda breaks the spell on Cid. Dagger gains her voice (and magical abilities) back. Cid begins work on the Hilda Garde III.
February 27 - March 1, 1800
Kuja visits the Elemental Shrines in order to sway the views of the Guardians of Terra, and open the gateway to Terra.
March 4, 1800
Kuja, Zidane and the others go through the opened gate to Terra, via the Shimmering Islands near Esto Gaza.
March 8, 1800
While Zidane travels through Terra, Kuja hides in the Invincible, waiting for his time to shine. Zidane ultimately defeats Garland, and Kuja taps into the flow of souls through the Invincible, and achieves the Trance that he has been looking for. Garland, with his last breath, informs Kuja that his life his limited. This throws Kuja into an uproar, and causes him to completely destroy Terra with his new powers. Kuja and the Genomes of Esto Gaza take the Invincible and head back to Gaia.
March 9, 1800
Kuja "activates" the Iifa Tree again, sending Mist to cover the entire world. Memoria and the Crystal World are also formed. Kuja enters, intent on destroying everything through the Crystal.
March 10, 1800
Kuja enters Memoria, dead set on destroying the Crystal and everything with it. Zidane and Garnet learn a great deal of the world's past, as well as their own, and eventually come into battle with Kuja. The party seems to be winning until Kuja casts Ultima. The force of this spell is so powerful, however, that Kuja is shot straight out of Memoria, down into the Iifa Tree. Zidane and the others suddenly end up in Necron's world and defeat him. However, as this strange place slowly falls apart, the party is stuck. Kuja uses his power to transport the party out of the Iifa Tree and inform Mikoto of their whereabouts. Everyone but Zidane leaves on the Hilda Garde III, and Zidane heads after Kuja to attempt to save him. Kuja dies, however, and as the Iifa Tree rages and thrashes, Kuja protects Zidane one last time from the oncoming roots.
Some time later...
Zidane returns to Alexandria to reunite with the grieving Queen Garnet

 Ah, what a spendid day it was. The luminous clouds hovering over the towering City of Lindblum, the busy chatter of the townsfolk and more importantly this years festival was about to begin. Trading stalls and coffee makers were all about making buisness for their families, The Red Rose was also to depart at Lindblum as it was also a secretive and well planned meeting to see old friends again...

[Regent Cid - Lindblum Buisness District]
Escorted by his guards, the Regent Cid took his time off to go leisurely walking down the buisness district. All was well and because of the masses of crowds (all swarming around him) it was hard to advance any furthher than the transportation cars.
"Ah, yes, enjoy the hunt!" He chimmed, giving waves and handing out blowed kisses to his adouring fans.
"Weather Princess Eiko is single is non of your-"
"Of course I'll kiss your Oglop, wait-"
Ah, Busy day, there was hopes of it being an exciting one, as the new monster Cid had on enslaing amoungst his city was one from the Forgotten continent.

Another member of the party wasn't in quite as nice a place.
Creeping forwards a few more steps, he made his way through this secret underground place; no one had come here in years, there would be no point but Vivi was looking for something.
Dark purple and white and the occassional dash of gold but no red and after so many years no black.
Holding his high collar up over his nose - the smell was from the nearby sewers not the long dead corpses - Vivi picked his way amongst the piles of fabric and bent down to reach into the pile.
Nothing.
No bones, no sense of what had been there.
Vivi sighed, heading out of this hidden place again; he was not intending to take part in the hunt, instead meaning to speak to Cid after it had finished.

Seemed like everything was peaceful in Lindblum after all, all that awaited was the arrivle of the red Rose to dock in then the festivities could begin. Still as the Regent wondered down the halls of his Palace (yes hes there now) he couldnt help but wonder what the other brave warriors were doing these days. He knew of Garnet, Eiko, Quina, Amarant, Steiner & Freya this much was true but what of zidane and more importantly Vivi, had his life span ended or had he gone into ceclusion, this much wasnt all that certain.

Making his way slowly into the Lindblum main streets, Vivi looked around for a time with another sigh. He didn't want to bang into any of the others, it was probably easier that they thought he ceased to exist anyway but at the same time he'd been unable to resist the idea of the hunters feast (Proving beyond a doubt that his stomach was still a key force in his motivations) so had booked himself in for it.
His reward had taken him a while to think of but in the end it seemed obvious. "I want for them to be buried," He had said so very simply that the person registering them thought him some kind of murderer; it had taken a little while to explain he meant the mage 'corpses'.
So he walked along the streets, waiting for things to begin.
He couldn't loose, he was Gaia's most powerful mage, more then capable of destroying the whole city; whilst this would certainly win him all the points of the festival it probably wouldn't win him any with anyone else and so he resolved to take part normally.
((ooc: You got twisted as you got older ...
Vivi: you're writing me!!))
