~"It had to change. I always knew we couldn't keep up this 'peaceful' existence. But the way it changed... was different to what I had expected"~
~Prologue~
On the day of Squall Leonhart's birthday, his celebrations are interrupted quite suddenly by an explosion. Immediately assigned to investigate it, Squall and his comrades have no idea what they are really getting into. Following the incident, a series of horrific and gruesome murders across the world, directly linked to the explosion, turns the investigation into a very serious matter. All suspicions turn to Tempest and Akero, two people who are remarkably alike in both personality and dress to Squall and Rinoa. They know more than they let on about the culprit behind the murders but their refusal to tell anything immediately makes them suspects.
Squall, obviously concerned about the likeness between him and Rinoa and Tempest and Akero, cannot concentrate on this. All he can think about now is the investigation... and, on a more personal note, his own reoccurring nightmare.
~Characters~
Squall Leonhart
Age: 18
Eye:Dark Blue/Grey on occasions
Hair: Brown
Height: 5'9 (he's grown an inch)
Weapon: Grieve Edge
Limit: Renzokuken
Seven months ago, Squall had a hard time expressing his feelings. Nowadays he can express his feelings, but on occasion will forget and will get reminded by his girlfriend, Rinoa. Unlikely as he is, he is the commander of Garden, and can be quite and inspirational speaker if need be. Over the past couple of months Squall has been suffering horrific nightmares and has almost resorted to insomnia to escape them.
Rinoa Heartilly
Age: 18
Eye: Brown
Hair: Black
Height: 5'4
Weapon: Shooting Star
Limit: Angel Wing and/or Combine with Angelo
Rinoa was once the "princess" of a resistance faction in Timber called the "Forest Owls". She met Squall after her group hired SeeD to confront the president. She now lives inside Garden and is preparing for her written exam, so she too can become a SeeD. She's open and honest with her feelings, making her difficult to be around at times, but she's also very caring and kind. She's the only one 'allowed' to tell Squall to express his feelings with out getting told to butt out.
Zell Dincht
Age: 18
Eye: Blue
Hair: Blonde
Height: 5'8
Weapon: Ehrgeiz
Limit: Duel
Zell, at 18 years old, still can't let go of his knack to "do now, think later". However his honesty and contribution to discussions is helpful at times; however his occasional loud mouth can get him and his friends in trouble. He, while exploring Esthar on one of his messenger routes, found Grieve Edge for Squall.
Selphie Tilmitt
Age: 18
Eye: Green
Hair: Brown
Height: 5'3
Weapon: Strange Vision
Limit: Slot
With a bouncy personality and care-free attitude, Selphie sticks out from the group like a sore thumb. However, everyone enjoys having her around- she can turn a serious situation into a laugh-fest in moments. She's very interested in music and piloting, having taken up a piloting course 5 months ago (and is doing very well). She and Irvine have a stable relationship but it can erupt when Irvine "reverts" to his old ways and lays his charms on other girls.
Quistis Trepe
Age: 18 (turns 19 in 2 months)
Eye: Blue
Hair: Blonde
Height: 5'6
Weapon: Save the Queen\

Age:17
Eye: Purply-blue
Hair: Brown
Height: 6'0
Weapon: Exeter
Limit: Shot
Irvine can be very uncaring and frivolous at times, but he cares deeply for Selphie and all of his other friends. A talented sharp-shooter, he gets the jitters when everything goes down to him.

Eye: Blue
Hair: Blonde
Height: 6'2
Weapon: A modified version of the Punishment (it's very light)
Limit: No Mercy

Fujin
Age: 18
Eye: Red
Hair: Silver
Height: 5'8
Weapon: Shooting Star

Eye: Brown
Hair: Brown
Height: 6'4
Weapon: Metal Snake

Raijin is a rather hot-headed person who talks before he thinks, often getting him in trouble with Fujin. However he's honest and caring, and a little naive at times.

Eye: Green
Hair: Brown
Height: 5'9
Weapon: Y2K-Mega
Limit: Desperado
There aren't many words in the dictionary that describe Laguna, however 'moron' maybe be one of them. Not one to think matters through, he acts upon what his heart is telling him to do. He believes the pen is mighter than the machine-gun, and his boundless energy and compassionate nature cause Squall to look upon him with a sense of distaste. As Squall's father, he's not sure how to approach him. He tries to avoid discussing Raine due to his own guilt that he left her, Squall, and Ellone on their own.
Ward Zabac

Eye: Blue
Hair: Blonde
Height: 7'
Weapon: Longinus
Limit: (i have no idea, can someone remind me :/?)

Weapon: Doubled-edged Chinese Blade and Giant Shuriken
Limit: Ninjitsu
Nida is a very ambitious teenager however his meek personality makes him blend into the crowd. Raised in Galbadia but choosing to attend Balamb Garden instead, Nida passed his SeeD exam alongside Squall, Selphie and Zell. He mainly specializes in ninja skills and is extremely fast in battle.
Xu (pronounced Zu) (Last name unknown)
Age: 21

Tempest
Age: 18
Eye: Greeny-Blue
Hair: Brown
Height: 5'5
Weapon: Gunblade (Revolver)

Tempest is a cold, inexpressive person who hates having other people involved in her affairs; quite similar to Squall, really. She has an identical scar across her face, which she says she got in a sparring session. She knows a lot more than she lets on, however seems kind of protective of Squall's friends, for some, unknown reason. Tempest, despite her obvious similarity to Squall, can be quite different. She has some unknown grudge against Squall himself and can often be cold and heartless to him for no reason. She also has a dirty mouth and swears more often than most of the group put together. Tempest also has a bit of a drinking problem which she gets hassled about by Akero but ignores him completely. One suspects that she drinks in an effort to forget her past but she seems to have a high resistance to alcohol, remaining immensely alert even after she has been drinking for a while.
Clothing Description:Black, pleated skirt. crossed over belts, and below the knee boots with around five decorative belts strapped across each. The strangest feature is the fact she possesses copies of Squall's jewellery: her appearance, personality and the jewellery all play a part in the story.
Akero
Age: 18
Eye: Brown
Hair: Black (roughly cut)
Height: 5'10
Weapon: WhirlBlade (Weapons Monthly December Edition[Pinwheel])
Limit: Wolf Howl
Weapon Description: Many people prefer the long range projectile weapon called the "Blaster Edge". However, aside from being versatile, the Blaster Edge does not to much damage. So, inspired by the invention of the "Gunblade" an inventor created the "WhirlBlade", combining the Blaster Edge with a long sword. The sword is double-edged, and versatile in both slashing and stabbing. This currently model is equipped with the Pinwheel projectile weapon, and other weapon projectiles are being experimented with.
Despite the the Whirlblade being versatile it is very heavy and is still not as refined as the Gunblade. Skeptics are sure that the Whirlblade will never measure up to the genius of the Gunblade, which speaks for the unpopularity of the weapon.
Akero is very kind and caring- but can be rather stubborn sometimes and speaks his mind without a sense of reservation. Prone to accidentally let something slip about what's going on, he too knows more than he actually lets on. He, however, is more willing to reveal than Tempest, his honest nature sometimes gets the better of him. Akero can be awfully shy and a little jumpy at times, and can sometimes come across as a little unfriendly, as if he is scared of making friends. At odd moments he will just stare off into the distance in a daze as if thinking about his past.
Clothing Description: Black and blue leather pants (like Roxas's from Kingdom Hearts, just different colours) with a white belt to hold them up. He's wearing a black shirt, a light blue vest, which is zipped up to around his chest and a a pair of fingerless long gloves blue gloves on each hand.

All of their weapons can only hold six rounds, however. (Revolvers...*sigh*)
I also need custom skill scripts for slot and stuff. Basically, that's it ^_^.
Just really need a Junction sys...
(I know, I sound needy, but I'm a graphical person...not very good with scripting)
Aiding Spriter- For tilesets. I need someone experienced, and I may pitch in with them- but I wouldn't be recruiting if I was good at them =p.
I also need some basic resource stuff, mainly animations and battlebacks.
