CHARACTER Name: Link Canon: Legend of Zelda: the Wind Waker Gender: Male Age: Not stated - going with 13 Birthday: (Headcanon - WW's release date in Europe) May 2
Personality: Link's a nice enough kid. He's sweet, friendly, cheerful, and maybe a little bit dopey considering his occasional tendency to space out. However, he also has big brother instincts strong enough to nearly propel him off a cliff in pursuit of a giant bird flying off with his little sister, and the impulsiveness necessary to immediately decide to go rescue her from a gigantic fortress with nothing but a toothpick of a sword and an old shield

Abilities: Link has a crazy arsenal of whatsits and doohickeys to fight with, all of which he seems able to just whip out of nowhere without any warning - you can't help but wonder where the hell he had stashed that giant hammer that's twice his size. No matter how odd the object seems, he'll probably find at least one way to kill a monster with it, and tends to instinctively grasp how an unfamiliar weapon works

CHARACTER Name: Balthier (real name is Ffamran Mied Bunansa) Canon: Final Fantasy XII Gender: Male Age: 24 Birthday: Headcanon: August 5th
History: Wiki Right at the beginning of Revenant Wings, after returning Vaan and Penelo to Lowtown Personality: Balthier isn't exactly the paragon of virtue, but his vices certainly aren't the most repugnant either. One might say he's a noble thief though he'll protest greatly any nobility and then proceed to selflessly save the day. And that is Balthier in a nutshell. On the surface, Balthier comes across as cynical, vain, conceited, petty, utterly full of himself and rather callous. He calls himself the 'Leading Man', revels in his depravity, walks with a swagger that makes other pirates feel inadequate and seems to believe that he can't die (which considering what happens at the end FFXII, he is probably right

Balthier Part 2: Electric Boogaloofealty_to_noneNovember 3 2011, 22:34:58 UTC
Abilities: Due to the very customiable nature of characters in Final Fantasy XII, I'm going with the build I normally use for Balthier.
Balthier has a great deal of skill with guns, crossbows, and blades but he's not much of a mage so I generally kept his magic dealings with Time and Arcane based abilities with a few curative spells.
Balthier has three Quickening abilities (similiar to Limit breaks and Overdrives), from weakest to strongest being Fires of War, Tides of Fate, and Element of Treachery. The Espers I equipped to him were Mateus (ice based summon) and Ffamfrit (a water based summon that his father used). The Quickenings and Espers, however, are extremely dangerous not just to the user's enemies but to the user himself. They are extremely draining and can likely be difficult to control, so Balthier reserves that pool of power specifically for emergencies only

Espio the Chameleon | Reservedturnip_rageNovember 5 2011, 03:00:04 UTC
PLAYER Name: Kiwi Journal: spudjuice Contact: aim snailyjayne Current Characters: Link
CHARACTER Name: Espio the Chameleon Canon: Sonic the Comic Gender: Male Age: Not stated. Going with 17, his age in JP Knuckles Chaotix (which the STC version of Espio was based on). Birthday: Headcanon, April 9th
History: Unlike most STC characters, Espio comes from the Special Zone - a surreal pocket dimension connected to the planet Mobius through a variety of portals. His current home is located on the planet Meridian. However, as it is established that the Special Zone houses many worlds, this may not be his native planet

Espio the Chameleon | Reserved | Part 2turnip_rageNovember 5 2011, 03:02:11 UTC
Personality: Typically, Espio is a person who comes off as a complete jerk. He's loud, competitive, critical, argumentative, sarcastic and short-tempered, and is perfectly willing to resort to violence. In an argument, he can be irrational and petty, and he hates to lose. He can often be found picking on the imperfections and failures of others, and is quick to judge someone based on how smart they are. If someone makes a single mistake, he will repeatedly pester them about it, as his close friend and rival Mighty can attest. He has, however, shown that he's a hypocrite, and often the mistakes he criticises the most are ones he's guilty of himself - really, he has no place to comment on people being impulsive when he has hurled himself out of a twentieth story window with a plan so vague he wasn't able to explain it

Espio the Chameleon | Reserved | Part 3turnip_rageNovember 5 2011, 03:03:05 UTC
Best/Worst Subject: Espio is the kind of person who picks up new skills fairly easily, judging by the range of tasks he does, so he'd have little trouble with most Hogwarts subjects. However, he would likely have real trouble with Defense Against the Dark Arts. This is because he already has his own method for fighting evil, and he's not going to be easily convinced that a twig is any kind of substitute for physical combat. He might do well in the theory portions, but when it comes to anything practical, screw the wand - he'll just punch things, using "years of experience" as justification.

PLAYER Name: Caryl Journal: starshone_storm Contact: E-mail starshone.storm (AT) gmail.com; Plurk starshone_storm; AIM Starshone Storm Current Characters: N0000000000B
CHARACTER Name: Touma/Thomas H. Norstein (In canon, Touma is his name in the original Japanese and Thomas is his name in the dub. I'd like to propose the name on his birth certificate is Touma but he enrolled as and goes by Thomas because he grew up in Austria.) Canon: Digimon Savers (Digimon: Data Squad in the dub) Gender: Male Age: Fourteen Birthday: August 29th Position: Student
History:The illegitimate son of a Muggle Austrian aristocrat and a Japanese witch, Touma lived with his mother in Japan for the first few years of his life, one foot in Muggle society, one foot in magic. Unfortunately, when Touma was about four, his mother died in a hit and run accident before his eyes, on their way to a festival he'd insisted on attending. He was thus brought back to Austria to live with his father. There, Touma's grandmother, the matriarch of the family, disapproved of him as he was

Touma H. Norstein - Digimon Savers (reserved): 2/4starshone_stormNovember 10 2011, 13:07:14 UTC
Personality:What Touma is not: Ruled by his emotions. Touma prefers to base his actions on data and theories rather than impulse, remaining calm in tense situations. He's never one to wear his heart on his sleeve, which makes him a decent actor who was canonically able to appear to betray his closest allies and then turn around and casually backstab the man who was manipulating him to do so
( ... )
Touma H. Norstein - Digimon Savers (reserved): 3/4starshone_stormNovember 10 2011, 13:08:45 UTC
Strengths:
Potions: Because of Touma's medical aspirations, he'd focused on the sciences throughout his Muggle secondary education, and potions is a close analogue to chemistry. He likes its precise, rational nature; this is something that comes easily to him.
Transfiguration: Touma has himself undergone life changes, from Japanese culture to Austrian and from Muggle life to magical; changing something else makes sense to him and has easily observable results, which Touma likes. Okay, actually this is mostly a nod to canon!Touma being able to induce evolution in his digimon partner.
Muggle Studies: Apart from the first few years of his life, Touma grew up as a Muggle. Even without the child genius thing he could ace this class in his sleep.
Weaknesses:
Ancient Runes: We can assume that Touma is fluent in German (the official language of Austria), Japanese (going by canon; in his AU, I'd like to think he still had Japanese classes even growing up in Austria), and English (again, in his AU, he would have had classes in it; three

[Wait, what, cake? Completely baffled, and feeling like he shouldn't be - he's a wizard, able to transform one object into another by waving a twig and willing it, and a cake is what gets to him? - Touma draws his wand from his pocket as he comes closer to the cake.]
Impervius!
[Alas, he's too late: By the time he reaches the cake and the plate it sits on, the message on the top is a mess of melted green icing, even if it's now a waterproof mess. Touma grimaces slightly and picks up the plate, trying hard not to get any icing on his fingers as he carries the cake into the castle. Once inside, he approaches most people he sees, asking:] Excuse me, is this yours?
[He's not too concerned whether anyone will claim it or not. Even if no human wants the soggy cake, his owl might not mind it.]
