Name: Daniel Ashcroft
Alias/title: Dan
Age: 22
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Resurrection: Nightkin
Class: Bard.
Physical description: Dan's a rather standard Human, at least in terms of FF appearances. He's not very muscled-looking, but is still strong enough to fight in close combat without trouble. He weighs about 150 pounds, and stands at 5'10". He's skinny, but not sickly-looking, and has little visible muscle. His skin is light, not deathly pale, but also not tanned. His hair is very light blonde, almost white, but still noticeably yellow. It compliments his looks well, but he tends to leave it somewhat messy. His hair is of medium length, hanging over his ears and the back of his neck. His bangs would fall into his eyes, but he usually has them parted to the left side of his face. Dan's eyes are a blend of blue and green, mostly blue. The green part consists of a 'cloud' of colour around his pupils.
Dan's face is rounded, with an all over light appearance. His jaw isn't very pointed at all. He's altogether quite feminine, but still recognizably male. Due to the way he usually acts, he almost never frowns seriously, and is usually smiling or having an otherwise happy expression.
For clothing, Dan wears a rather standard base outfit of a black sleeveless shirt and a pair of dark blue denim pants. Since that would be boring, he spices it up quite a bit. Over the shirt, he wears a tight blue zipper-front hooded jacket, usually zipped 3/4ths of the way to leave a part of his shirt visible. It's got a few visible stitches on the front. The sleeves are short, reaching about the middle of his biceps. Over that, he wears a red longcoat, made from coloured leather. It's secured by a pair of crossed belts over his chest, and has decorative buttons on the right side. The collar is rather large, but since he keeps it down, it's not overly noticeable. He modified the jacket with a large, torso-crossing belt to hold his weapon. His pants are secured by a decorative leather belt, the buckle of which resembles a lion's head. He wears a pair of belts on his thighs, a few inches below the start of his legs. They don't seem to have any real function, and are just decoration. His boots reach his knees, and are black leather.
Spells: Being a bard, Dan has the standard layout of spells. He's learned specific songs for each one, and tends to put some style behind them.
"Time to Fight": A Rally spell, consisting of a blend of chords and notes being played. He maintains it through battles, and its effects take place when he speeds up.
"Face Melter": An offensive Fire spell, which typically aims at one enemy. Three power chords make the spell come into effect.
"Power Chord": Despite being a horribly lame pun, it's a very effective spell. A loud, single chord held for a few seconds boosts the party's physical strength, and if aimed at a single person, can increase their strength by a huge amount.
"Magic Fingers": Dan plays a fast solo that has MP-regenerating effects. It boosts the entire party's MP while restoring lost MP, and like Power Chord, can be focused on a single person to give them a massive boost.
"Be Healed": A slow, somewhat soothing progression of notes. It heals the entire party, and like the other spells, can all be focused on a single person. When it's played for everyone, it heals over time and by a small amount.
"Quiet Down": A trio of chords that casts a Silence spell on the enemy party. When focused on a single person, it can prevent them for casting magic for a long time. Otherwise, it has a weaker than normal effect on the entire party.
Limit Break: "Guitar Solo!" Dan's energy boosts to incredible amounts, and he gains a burning passion for his music. He moves faster than he ever thought possible, and his songs become very intense. It performs various stat-boosters on the entire party, while "pyrotechnics" damage the enemies with fire.
Vehicle:
Weapons: Unlike most Bards, Dan doesn't use a classical instrument. He could, but he prefers something more unique and suited for him. His weapon is mostly an electric guitar, enchanted to be able to focus magic for his spells. The guitar's tuners are pointed, but it's just a design choice. The real close-combat strength comes from both the head and the body. At the top of the guitar, the head extends into a scythe-shaped blade, while the bottom of the guitar's body has an axe-like blade attached to it.
Armor: His clothes are all he needs. And likely all he can wear without disrupting his magic.
Fraction/alignment: Society
Relationships: N/A
Personality: When in battle, Dan is cocky, loudmouthed, and never shuts up. He puts style behind everything he does, especially his guitar playing. He acts like an absolute ass to enemies, and enjoys fighting. Outside of battle, he's very kind and caring, but still keeps his general attitude. He likes to be around people and is fond of celebration. Despite his usual air of cockiness, he cares more for his friends than anything else, and would do anything to protect him, even if it meant his death.
History: Dan was born into a happy family in the Society, and had aspirations to grow up and be a soldier to protect his home. He found more comfort in magical abilities than physical battle most of the time, but he found simple staffs or old-time instruments boring. He took lessons from the town's local bard, and when he was 16, his final test was interrupted. An attack on the town decimated most of the population, and Dan was one of the few survivors. He lost his family and friends, and set out to find the ones who did it.
He traveled for years, never staying in one place for long. He always moved on after a month or so of staying in one place, and rarely ever returned. He's still searching for the ones who did the attack. He knows they're the Ragnarok organization, but he wants to find the one who ordered the attack and kill him.
(( And now, here's what a typical battle involving Dan would sound like. ))
