no. 01 : BLAH BLAH BLAH APPLICATION BLAH BLAH

Character: Vanille
Series: Final Fantasy XIII
Character Age: 19
Canon: Welcome to Cocoon, a floating hub of human activity. The people there go through their daily lives much as we do, except they have one terrible fear: the lower world of Pulse looming below them, said to be a constant threat to their way of life. Both Pulse and Cocoon are ruled by magical creatures called fal'Cie. These beings care, govern, and use humans to do their biding. Those who come in contact with a fal'Cie are branded with a specific marking on their body and turned to l'Cie, forced against their will to do the wishes of the fal'Cie and fulfill a vague task given to them called a "Focus." If they fail, they become monsters, but if they succeed they become crystal, and, according to the world's legends, "live forever."

A l’Cie chosen by one of the Pulse fal’Cie, Vanille is all smiles and laughter. Doing her best to be kind to everyone she meets, she ends up befriending various strangers because of her willingness to help others. Okay, she’s a bit of a crybaby, and sometimes a scaredy-cat, but she’s willing to lie to make sure people’s feelings are spared, even if it means she ends up shouldering the consequences on her lonesome. Ready for battle and willing to try anything from taking down a bear to pulling wool from unruly sheep, she’s a girl of nature, and often finds herself wandering to enjoy the sights and smells of the world around her. Despite her outward expressions, Vanille is a deeply internalized individual; her fear, guilt and worry are pushed deep down inside where no one can see. She’s stubborn enough to keep face and bring up party morale, even if she’s the only one trying. It’s all she can do to keep moving forward and finding another way to fulfill her, and everyone else’s, Focus. After all, we make miracles happen ourselves.


Sample Post:

I’ve looked at this place from every angle! Up, down, left, right--even from the middle of one of those corn fields. Ooh, but I still don't get the name! Camp … um, Fuck You Die? It looks just the opposite. I guess the appearances may be different from what I'm used to, but all I have to do is look around! Look, look! There's all different kinds of life in this place. That includes you. Don’t let anyone else tell you different. Then there's the fields and fields corn, and the gorillas, and the birds, and all the campers too. Oh, and Marcy, of course!

That was her name, right? The biiiig creature in the middle of the pond with all the tentacles. She looked a little intimidating, but then again, she could've just been in a sour mood when you told her how you felt about her. Things get that way sometimes, you know. Maybe she's just trying to work out something complicated, and goes on waving her tentacles around when she gets upset! But I wouldn't try approaching her again until she calms down. Sometimes girls need time to think through things on their own to make the decisions right for them. It was a very nice confession, I promise! It might have just caught her by surprise! Don’t worry, it’ll all work out for you. Think of it like a boost in self-confidence! That’s right, I think that you were very brave to announce your feelings like that. After what happened she'll have to take you up on your offer the next time she sees you! You're a handsome young … oh, um … what were you again? On second thought, nevermind! It can be your little secret!

Come on now, no more moping. You did your best, and you never know, she may even change her mind. How about we forget about it for now? That’s right, we’ll just deal with it later. Instead, we can peel silk off some corn, or make some necklaces at the arts and crafts hut. You know, or you could help me come up with a better name for this place! You live here too, so you need to pitch in. I already have a few ideas. I like the sound of “Camp Field You Live” much, much better. It covers everything! The two big parts of this place, the corn field part and living part. Maybe even something like “Camp Tentacles You Love”--oh no! I didn’t mean to remind you of Marcy. No no, turn that frown upside down! Let’s turn this place into “Camp Corn and Confidence”!

That's 42 in and 6 out which makes a whopping 87.5% over this way!

no. 02 : these are stats and permissions so you know what's up

Name: Oerba Dia Vanille note: Oerba refers to the village she's from, and Dia the specific clan.
Age: Nineteen
Height: 161 cm, or around 5'3"
Weight: Smaller. Around 100 lbs.
Medical Info: A very healthy girl in her late teens! There's probably a few scars around from childhood/hunts, but otherwise nothing out of the ordinary.
Eyes: Green
Hair: Red
Physical traits: Very very red hair, tied back into two pigtails a spunky walk and lots of beads. She looks younger then what she really is! She wears a pink halter and a short skirt complete with a bear pelt (a bear she KILLED HERSELF). She has lots and lots of bracelets that probably jingle a little when she walks. She's usually seen with a smile on her face.
What's Okay To Mention Around Him/Her: Just about anything. If you tell her horrible things she might not believe you.
Abilities: A very capable Medic, Ravager, and Saboteur. She also has an Eidolon named Hecatoncheir which I can hardly spell half the time. She fondly refers to him under his pet name "Hecaton." She uses a rod that she attaches to the back of her skirt named "Nirvana."

Hecaton is an Eidolon that can be summoned by Vanille. It's this crazy thing with all kinds of arms that can turn into something that kind of looks like a tank. I don't know, it's kind of amazing. Sometimes she hides in its arms and yells at people to stop shooting at them. :(

gestalt mode
THIS IS WHEN THAT crazy Eidolon turns into some kind of piece of crazy machinery. Hecaton resembles an odd-shaped tank with canons coming out of four sides. In Gestalt mode, Vanille hops up on to the middle of the tank-type creature-thing and starts firing the cannons. :x

Notes for the Psychics/Magically or Spiritually sensitive: SPOILERS Vanille was once a l'Cie, a servant to a god-like creature called a fal'Cie. She chose it of her own free will, along with her companion, Fang. Responsible for the War of Transgression, Fang transformed into Ragnarok as their Focus intended in order to destroy Cocoon and kill millions of people. Vanille, terrified of sacrificing the entirety of the floating continent, found herself unable to follow Fang. She refused, and thus never completed her Focus—and Ragnarok was never complete. The Goddess took pity on Cocoon, and put both Fang and Vanille in crystal statis, where they awoke five-hundred years later to finish what they started. Throughout the events of FFXIII, she fulfills her Focus and becomes crystallized with Fang again, carrying the world of Cocoon.

Hailing from the world of Gran Pulse, she is tribal peoples that lived in love with each other. She's a very open person when it comes to affection. However, she's very internal about some of her feelings that are obviously not cheerful. Feel free to catch on, as she doesn't usually say much about it.

THERE IS ALSO HECATON floating around, and she can preform all kinds of magic spells. :3c

Can I shapeshift/bodyswap/spit at/step on/etc?: YES OF COURSE, DO YOU WANT TO BE A PERKY GIRL? please ask. You may spit on her and step on her but she might get angry and hit you with the end of her rod. :(

Hugging/kissing/other non-violent physical contact: Did I mention that Vanille is a very physical person? Honestly she's going to end up doing this before anyone else manages to get to with her.

Maim/Murder/Death: THESE ARE BIG ASKING QUESTIONS.

Cooking: Hilariously enough she can probably cook some choice tribal foods. That includes things Fang catches along with wild herbs and greens and roots and crazy things like that. It probably looks cuter than it tastes, and recipes are limited.
