Current Characters at Luceti: N/A
Character
Name: Cid Raines
Fandom: Final Fantasy XIII
Gender: Male
Age: Around 20ish.
Time Period: After his death.
Wing Color: Skyblue.
History: Here
Personality:
Cid Raines is a man that knows about dreams. Mostly because even working to the enemy, for different reasons, he still wants to fullfil his dream about a giving Cocon to the people. He can understand the goals and ambitions that people have, and he will even encourage them to do such a thing, like he does with the party at the end of his battle.
He also is a man that knows about suffering and pain. He will have mercy for those who are weak and about to die. It's because Cid's nature is to be a man that cares for others, even if he demonstrates it in a different way. Cid will ask for the same treatment if he is going to die in a painful way; as is it shown when he asks Rygdea to kill him.
But, despite that, he will act friendly to those who are even in the opposite band but seek the same as him. A friendly handshake or some words to give them courage, Cid will give them because he doesn't think so highly of himself and will always speak politely to anyone, despite the circumstances.
Furthermore, he is a Brigadier General of the army. To become that, it means that Cid can follow the protocole and a set of rules that were established before. What also means that he is a man that can be admired and respected for the position he was given to work. More also, he is smart enough to order his soldiers with and have a possitive response from them.
Cid is also a person that follows a certain code of moral in his life. It's true that he can kill in order to save someone, he will always try to avoid all the fights that can spread blood. This is related with his dream, and that he works for people's happiness. However, if it comes to a matter that needs to be resolved with killing and there is no another option left, he will take that path in the end.
The way he ses to help might not be best and clear, but he always thinks in the others he is fighting for before in himself. Instead of speaking truths so simply, he will try to make people realize it by their efforts. By fighting them, by releving secrets to them, he will always try to archive that the others realize their goals and truths by themselves.
Also, Cid is a man that can always find a way to give an advice when they most need it. He doesn't find productive to take an advantage of people when they most need help. And this can be linked to the fact that he is an honorable man.
Strengths:
▬ To accomplish the rank of a captain, he must know the basics of combat and fireworks. It's also shown that he is pretty agile when Lightining attacks him and he manages to counterattack in order to strip her from her weapon. All his others abilities can be asummed in his Cie'th's form, but since I'm taking him as a human, I'll only put this one.
▬ His will is his strength. Even turned into a Cie'th, he will put all of himself to "set the hereos free" from they curse. Which means that is determinated to overcome his own fate by his own will to save someone, and he even says it during the boss battle as a quote during it. It's even stated when he said he came to the Fifth Ark by his own will. Another example is when he states he is going to challange his fate.
▬ Cid can understand people's ambitions and dreams when they are pure and noble. And he even explains it when the party confronts him in the battle against himself. As I said before, he will give them encouragment because he will put himself in their place and understand their feelings.
Weaknesses:
▬ While he might be good to fight in that form, if he is caught in a group battle it will be a great disadvantage for him. Despite he fought in a Cie'th form, he still lost by their. And, besides all, he is still human, so many things will affect him.
▬ He might go to the extremes in order to do things in the way he wishes to do. The perfect example is when he says he will give Cocon to the people but he even goes to fight the party and end in that way. Another example is that he wanted, at any cost, set the heroes free because he thought it would be the best for them.
▬ His pride is another weakness. While Cid is not certanly the most prideful person you have ever met, sometimes his pride will take the best of him. He might recognize when he is wrong, as he did with the heroes, but at the same time, he will just dissapear
Samples
First Person:
How is this even posible...? To one such as me, to be given the gift of live again it not but a mere dream.
I wonder what have just happened. Where is this place? Have I finally passed to a better place? No, I am sure that was not the case.
Wings. How intriguing. My dream... Has it became true?
I shall keep moving them. I may find some answers if I keep looking. Could I have changed my fate?
Third Person:
Cid Raines opened his eyes in a new place he didn't know where it was. But, he didn't understand how it was possible to be alive again. He could remember clearly the order he gave to Rygdea. A simple order to kill him and end his existance in that world. However, things looked so different right now. The feel of the wind on his skin made him realize that he couldn't be dreaming. The smell on the air, all those feelings were so real that he convinced himself that he was alive once more.
"Was I granted with the gift of live...?" He asked slowly to himself, casting a glance to his around and notice the wings attached to his back. A color that reminded him about a battle he thought he wasn't going to remember in a long time. But, even so, those wings were different than the ones he had back at then. Cid took a moment to admire them, as someone who was admiring the birds fly on the sky.
Closing his eyes, he could only hope that this was a new chance for him to change his fate. "My fate shall be changed. First of all, I must find more information about this place." He added again, making sure he had everything as he started walking to his new destiny. All the new things that this world had, they were all different form what he was used to see. Would this be like the dream he once had? Comparing things would only be a waste of time, because to himself, it couldn't be compared.
Each step was making things closer and closer to learn about this new world. His title would matter none, now that he was in another world. But still, he wasn't sad or lonely about it. On the opposite, he found himself rather calm about the situation. The only thing that he kept thinking to himself was if he could help the people of this place. Would his fate change again? Would be have the same end like he had in this world? Everything looked different, and he couldn't help himself to wonder about it. However, at the same time, he had the feeling that things were different. And that was all he cared about now.
Perhaps he could really change his destiny.
