Character: Cidolfus Telamon, aka Cid Canon: Final Fantasy XVI, post-A Crystal's Curse Armada: Corsair
About: For those who aren't familiar with this version of Final Fantasy's "Cid," he's one of the older characters who leads a group of outlaws working to change the world's current system in treating magic users, making a name for himself as an outlaw in doing so. The Dominant of Ramuh, he's capable of using and turning into the Eikon Ramuh himself. Goodnatured, friendly, classic rogue, with enough wit and Dad jokes to help lighten any heavy situation. With his experience and endless worldly wisdom, he's the perfect mentor for any young lad who is going through a self-identity crisis and angst. Oh that's just Clive—but he can be a mentor or father figure for anyone who needs it, too. He is also a brilliant inventor and bit of an engineer. There will definitely be spoilers since he'll be after a certain canon point. I usually try not to reference canon events with non-castmates, but I'll be sure to mark them just in case. Between castmates, well, read those threads at your own risk— Spoilers, spoilers everywhere. For more info, he has a profile sheet here.
Abilities: Pretty much all things lightning for this old man. He'll have his canon movesets as well as me being a bit creative because well we only see a limited set and the tattoo will allow him some more creativity. He can semi-prime and turn all purple to have access to even stronger attacks, and then he can prime into the Eikon Ramuh himself. But due to nerfing, when he primes into Ramuh he'll be very tiny at first until he gains more power and control and all that. Even that will require an emotional trigger so IT'LL BE A WHILE. He'd only use this an absolute last resort regardless.
BONUS SUMMON OPTION: If there are ever any characters who can summon Ramuh, especially in other Final Fantasy casts, you can have Cid appear instead.
PLANS
General: Cid will be mostly focusing on helping with engineering various things for the deep dive expedition, so the focus will be on the special quests. Otherwise not too much going on right now because the old man needs a break, anyway :V
If anyone is interested in his crew, I have a recruitment ad up here!
MANTA Board: Some MANTA board things that caught my eye for Cid that I could tag into or plot about!
What Shall We Do With A Drunken Sailor: PLEASE LET HIM BE IN A DRUNKEN BRAWL PLEASE AND WITH A CRUNCHY BAGUETTE FROM THE CAT BAKERY
Touched by Mothlight: Since he's, you know, close to death and all coughcough. While he doesn't really have any negative emotions, if needed to attract the moths for investigative purposes he could be persuaded.
The Graven Trinkets: The Hideaway's coffers don't fill themselves— For anyone who may want a rousing adventure with the old man.
Bounties are also possible, but I'm focusing those more with Aranea.
Event: Toplevel will definitely be had! It will focus on inventing things and anyone who would want to help test said inventions. WOULD LIKE TO WORK WITH OTHER ENGINEERS AND INVENTORS how many times can I write that word before it gets annoying—
CR Dreams: ANYTHING. I'm really interested in exploring Cid more through other relationships, especially when helping others or having someone else poke at him. He's always carrying things on his shoulders and he could use more people bothering him to not do that. Cid can make CR with anyone, and he can be an annoying rival or enemy depending who they are. He will always have a soft heart towards kids and young adults, so if anyone needs a father figure or mentor, he's a good candidate! Characters that are also into the tech, engineering, or sciences will also pique his interest.
