Gran Pulse: Final Fantasy XIII-2 Roleplay

Deleted • 20 January 2013 at 6:22 AM

Her steps echoed across the wet pavement, ripples forming into the little remnants of rain left on the surface. The sky was gray, the wind rushed through her hair as she swiftly ran through the ruins. She made her way past several guards leading downward into the tunnels. Her pace weakened as she neared closer to a light shining in from the distance, the scorched gate. The gate pulled her in, sending her through a vortex. The voices began to distort around her, only the sound of a clock ticking away it's time.

When she opened her eyes, her surroundings became clearer. She was home again, back in New Bodhum. The waves crashed along the ocean sand, the laughter rang through the wind as the sun hit across her face, embodying her with heat. Nostalgia sank into her, breathing in the familiar air, but something hadn't felt right. Her surroundings began to distort and fade all around her. The people vanished into thin air, the land was dead. What once seemed so lively had died down all in a matter of minutes. Was all of this real?

A light appeared in the grey sky. Blinded by the light she shielded her eyes taking a few steps back. A figure stood along the ocean in the distance,
"You should know who I am. Or, should I say, what I am. These are the final thirteen days."
The familiar voice of Lightning Farron came from the light. The light slowly faded away as a crystal appeared slowly drifting downward into the palm of the girls hands.

Light emitted from behind, leaving a sudden flash. A shining gate had appeared. Stepping closer to the gate the crystal artifact allowed the gate to open, pulling her in and sending her through a vortex once more.

Story Recap (I take no credit for this written piece): The vast majority of mankind lives on Cocoon under the protection of mechanistic, almost godlike entities known as the fal'Cie. The giant "lowerworld" over which Cocoon floats, Gran Pulse, is believed to be a land both hostile and effectively uninhabitable.

Cocoon's governing body, known as the Sanctum, announces that all residents of Bodhum are now "contaminated". The Purge is enacted - a Sanctum initiative designed to protect the stability of Cocoon by forcing civilians potentially corrupted by the Pulse fal'Cie to relocate to Gran Pulse. However, the resettlement is simply a facade to conceal the massacre that ensues. The government's true goal is the brutal extermination of all possible threats to Cocoon's society.

PLOT: It was the third year after the fall of the Cocoon, New Bodhum. The l'Cie are human bodies given a task (Focus) and power, those who fail to accept it face a terrible fate, by becoming Cie'th: monstrous mutations filled with hatred as their punishment.

The Cocoon is being held up by a crystal pillar to support its structure, that of which had been a miracle due to the sacrifice of Fang and Vanille. Though it is discovered that the pillar will eventually crumble, plummeting towards the surface of Pulse, being the event that marks the end of human civilization.

In order to stop the fall of the Cocoon, they must stop the one who is claimed to be the cause of it all, Caius Ballad.
Heroes will leap through space and time solving the many paradoxes.

You may choose your own fate: become an l'Cie and accept your Focus, or reject your Focus and become a Cie'th.
