Name: Zidane Tribal
Age: Sixteen
Personality: Zidane is a perverted thief with an absolutely solid moral center. While he doesn’t think twice about swiping someone’s belongings or kidnapping a princess, he isn’t really out to do lasting harm and mainly does what he has to to get by. He has an odd combination of innocence and experience at his disposal, as he’ll frequently do things for noble reasons but has enough grief in his background to understand what is and isn’t important, so his actions are genuine and not for personal gain (unless a girl is involved).
What game are you from/or are you a OC: Final Fantasy IX
History: Zidane is a Genome created by Garland as an Angel of Death after the planet Terra was destroyed. He wasn’t exactly meant to be an individual, since his body would become the vessel for a sleeping Terran soul, but his temporary predecessor, Kuja, dropped him off on the planet Gaia and left him to die. Zidane didn’t, and was taken in by Baku, the leader of a thief clan called Tantalus. Throughout his life he seemed to fit in effortlessly, but there was something a little broken about his past. All he could remember was a blue light.
Eventually, his path led him to Alexandria, where Tantalus planned to kidnap Princess Garnet and take her to Lindblum. Little did Zidane know, this was a special commission by Regent Cid of Lindblum in order to get his niece away from the disturbingly erratic Queen Brahne. The plan went off without a hitch, even if the princess caused a bit of a stir incognito and gave Zidane and Blank both a dizzying chase, up until Garnet’s bodyguard, Steiner, tracked them down. Despite being dissuaded with oglops, he followed them up onstage and was duped into believing the acting was real. Then a stranger in the crowd, a young black mage named Vivi, ran onstage to escape the guards trying to throw him out. In executing a fire spell he set Garnet’s hood on fire and she was forced to reveal her identity. This enraged Queen Brahne to the point of attacking the ship, which, while it sailed free of the city, crash-landed in the Evil Forest. Most of Tantalus was badly wounded, but Zidane had fallen off the ship and escaped unharmed. He discovered that the princess, Vivi, and Steiner were all missing, and tracked them down deeper into the forest. A strange creature took Garnet and then Vivi hostage, and Zidane discovered the power of Trance. Vivi escaped, but Garnet was kidnapped again by wildlife and Steiner and Vivi were exposed to deadly spores. Zidane brought them both back to the ship, where they were attended to by the clan, and talked to Baku about Garnet. Baku refused to let Zidane go after her, but Zidane quit Tantalus to do so and after a brawl with Baku took Steiner and Vivi out into the forest again to rescue Garnet. They did so, but in the process managed to petrify the forest and only barely escaped. Blank was petrified in Zidane’s stead, but the rest of Tantalus were able to escape.
In the meantime, the group of Zidane, Garnet, Vivi, and Steiner proceeded through the Ice Cavern in an attempt to get to Lindblum. Garnet, Vivi, and Steiner all fell asleep due to a spell cast by a Black Waltz, a being similar to a black mage, and Zidane fought it to free them. Then they proceeded on to Dali, where Garnet took on the alias of Dagger and they discovered the village was providing black mages to Alexandria for a reason unknown to them at the moment. Vivi was kidnapped and brought in as part of the shipment, but Zidane and Garnet rescued him and escaped onto the airship with Steiner after battling another Black Waltz. On the way, they were attacked by a third Waltz and all of the black mages on the airship were killed. Vivi, who had bonded with them in spite of the fact that they mostly didn’t talk, took this personally and tried to deal with the Waltz himself. They only barely escaped, with the Waltz’s ship exploding behind them, and made it to Lindblum, where Regent Cid was revealed to be an oglop. He explained his plan to them, and Zidane met up with an old friend Freya Crescent. The two of them joined the Festival of the Hunt, Zidane because he suckered Dagger into agreeing to go on a date with him if he won. They heard that Queen Brahne has attacked Burmecia and Zidane, Vivi, and Freya all resolved to go there and find out what’s happened. Dagger decided to leave with Steiner for Alexandria to find out what’s happening, but Zidane disapproved. However, Dagger tricked him into eating sleeping weed and escaped. Despite this, Zidane and the others went to Gizmaluke Grotto and moved on through to Burmecia, where they were defeated by General Beatrix. They moved on to Cleyra, where Vivi was generally misunderstood and told Zidane about his youth with his grandfather and his questions about his existence. But then Cleyra got attacked, too, there was another really annoying boss battle with Beatrix.
And then Brahne attacked Cleyra with Bahamut.
Back at Alexandria, Steiner and Blank were captured and Dagger was taken to the dungeons to have her eidolons extracted. However, Zidane rushed to rescue her and came face to face with Kuja for the first time since Burmecia. Everyone escaped back to Lindblum, which Brahne attacked with Dagger’s eidolons, where Regent Cid informed them that Kuja was the one dealing the black mages to Brahne. After picking up a new party member, Quina, they headed through to the Outer Continent and encountered a place called Conde Petie, where they had to undergo a marriage ceremony in order to pass through. Once they did, they encountered a young summoner named Eiko who fell hard for Zidane. Dagger started to remember bits and pieces of her past. They discovered a tribe of black mages in the forest, all of whom spoke and were aware of themselves. Then they reached the Iifa Tree, where Kuja had been using Mist to create the black mages. Defeating the tree somehow stopped this and they returned to Madain Sari, where Eiko lived, only to discover that Amarant and another bounty hunter were both after Dagger on Brahne’s account. Zidane defeated Amarant and he joined them because Zidane didn’t kill him. Because that makes perfect sense.
Anyway, they found out that Brahne was going to attack Kuja with Bahamut. Kuja didn’t think so, really, and attacked Brahne with Bahamut. Dagger witnessed the death of her mother and as a result stopped speaking. But then she and the others returned to Alexandria, where she was crowned Queen. Zidane got depressed because if he thought a princess was out of his league, he was pretty much screwed as far as a queen was concerned. But everyone was picking up the pieces, and everything was dandy in general.
And then Kuja attacked Alexandria with Bahamut.
Dagger and Eiko both leapt to the city’s defense by summoning Alexander, the ancient defender and namesake of Alexandria. Alexander dealt with Bahamut, and Kuja decided he needed a new toy, but then Garland crashed the party and pwnt Alexander. Zidane was able to rescue Dagger, and they went back to Lindblum where Regent Cid had moved up in the world to become a frog instead of an oglop. With his airship, they set out in search of Kuja’s desert palace. Unfortunately they epic failed and were captured. Kuja wanted Zidane to get the Gulug Stone, and gave him the choice of three companions to take with him. But it was all a façade to capture Eiko, and her pet Mog had to shield her from having her eidolons taken, turning out to be the eidolon Madeen herself. Kuja got distracted by the pretty shiny Trance and the others rescue Eiko and find Hilda, Regent Cid’s beloved wife, who had turned him into the oglop and frog in the first place. She turned him into a human again and he creates an airship that doesn’t need Mist to fly.
Zidane, Dagger, Vivi, Steiner, Freya, Eiko, and Amarant all go to Terra through a dimensional warphole. This is the home of Kuja and, Zidane realizes, himself. For the first time he discovers others that look just like him, as Genomes are meant to look the same, and meets a girl named Mikoto who is genetically his sister. Kuja, he discovers, is basically his brother as well, and Garland created them all. Zidane faces Garland, who reveals to him everything about Terra and the soulless Genomes forwarding the plan to eliminate all life on Gaia to make room for the dormant Terrans, which prompts an existential crisis of epic proportions. Zidane shrugs it off, though, and joins his friends in working against Garland. Before they have the chance to actually do that, Kuja turns pretty and shiny and feathery and destroys Garland. Garland tells him anyway that Zidane is his replacement and he’s going to die. Kuja loses his mind and fires his lazah at Terra, destroying it. In the meantime, Zidane and the others evacuate the rest of the Genomes. While those guys hole up in Black Mage Village, Zidane and the others head to the Iifa Tree to sort out this Mist problem again. Because if you hit a tree enough times it stops producing fog.
Things don’t exactly go as planned, per se, and Garland “Vindictive Old Man” Laz0r transports them right to Kuja in a mysterious place called Memoria. They defeat Kuja so he pouts and destroys the Crystal, which is supposed to sustain all life. So Necron drops in to see what the hell’s going on and Zidane and company practically defeat death. Kuja uses his remaining power to teleport them out of the Iifa Tree and to safety, but Zidane has never cooperated with Kuja and isn’t about to start, so he insists on going back for the Genome who is his brother as well as the Zidane that could have been. He’s able to find Kuja, but Kuja definitely seems to be dying now and the Iifa Tree doesn’t exactly help when ittentacle rapes attacks them with vines.
Against all odds, Zidane was able to escape and showed up at Alexandria years later, slipping in as Marcus in the play I Want To Be Your Canary just to be dramatic (and a canary). He’s reunited with Dagger, Beatrix and Steiner get together, Freya and Ferdinand get together, Eiko is clearly well over the hill, Vivi starts having kids and accidentally the Heartless, and everyone lives happily ever after.

Sample RP: “H—fff—ghnnnnh…!”
A hand reached, faltered, and slapped against the edge of the sheer cliffside dropping off into the bowels of the Iifa tree. It shifted, followed by a trembling forearm with a clenched fist at the end as Zidane pulled his head and shoulders above the edge, grimacing and stopping to breathe hard for just a second—just a second—just a second more—and then boots scrabbled at the rock as he grunted with effort and wrenched himself back onto solid ground. He rolled onto his back, chest heaving, and blew a strand of blond away from his mouth.
Made it.
Clothing and Genome both were stained with blood, dirt, and grass, and here and there tiny remnants of vines were tangled in his hair. He’d already done a finger and toe count and he was all here, even if the way his tail had gotten wrenched made it feel like his whole spine shifted down an inch.
After panting for what felt like forever, he finally let his eyes slide closed and relaxed completely with a weary moan. Promised. Made it. Made it out.
Blue-green eyes opened a hair.
Kuja didn’t.
He wasn’t completely clear on what had happened after the vines got to them. There had been crushing pain, the scent of green and sweat and smoke and Kuja, with his face pressed to his brother’s throat and the vines closing in everywhere, all sides, smothering, endless. He must have passed out, because the next thing he knew he was lying on the same grass altar where Kuja had fallen silent and the other Angel of Death nowhere in sight. He saved me, he tried to tell himself. But he couldn’t be sure.
Now he turned back to the sky, blinking in the glare of sunlight that suddenly seemed too bright. What’s supposed to happen when we die, anyway? Do we disappear?
He couldn’t think that. Not now. If he gave up for a second he might never get up, and that just wouldn’t work…but was it worth it? Everything ended. One day Vivi would stop, Steiner would die, Dagger would…be gone. All just like Kuja. I tried. I did, I tried… But it wasn’t enough. Kuja had ended…and if not he would end, someday. Did it really make a difference if it was now or later?
His body was too heavy and everything hurt too much and he was so…tired. Maybe if he just rested…he had to get up eventually, but just for a minute, give up for just a little while and let go…
…What if Dagger married somebody else?
Even closed, his eye twitched.
Alright.
“Gh—kh—ffffff…!” Slowly, like the half-dead kid he was, he sat up and glared defiance at the ground like he blamed gravity for this.
I’m up.
