>The road of misfortune<[Erik Storm](RFI)

"so, hon. welcome to the distorted world.
what's your name?"
My full name is Erik Serephiis Storm, people call me Er, Storm, Rick, or anything on the variation. My family decided to name me after my father and his surname was Storm as well so you can say I am a 'second'.

"ey, that's pretty cute. how old are you, and where are ya affiliated?"
My birthday is October 31, and I am 24 years of age. As for my affiliation. My roots are in Bodhum, I lived in cocoon but when it was destroyed, I became more nomadic so I'm a little neutral.

"young'un, are you? well then, i can deal. so... how bout you and me go on a date?"
I am a heterosexual, dating males is icky ;P

"aaand.. what is your specialization?"
I am a balanced warrior, not too weak, not too strong

"cool, cool. i guess youre a little talented filly? i like 'em like that."
Most are more talented, I do my best!

"and on to the second section! how tall are you, exactly?"
Five feet, eight inches. I am kind of short for my age

"ah, just three inches taller. hm. so, what's under your clothes? not that i wont find out for myself."
I have an above-average build. I'm not too skinny, not too bulky and that makes it easier for me to move around quickly. My skin is relatively fair but I assure you, I am a well conditioned fighter.

"okay, sorry. let's talk about some.. non - crude things? what's your personal style?"
I dress like a wandering swordsman. I sport a navy blue sleeveless with a gold band. I also wear a pair of hakama with a pair of sandals. I have a haori for the cold but I very rarely need it, opting to keep it tied around my waist for fashion and function.Underneath the light clothing, I wear a pair of tight shorts but I usually don't wear anything under my sleeveless.

"hey, you look like that celebrity... what was the name...?"
Rey Yan--Chronicles of the Cursed Sword

"right! i remember now. you look just like them. except better, heh heh..."
No U!

"soo, do you like or dislike anything?"

"Well I like being outdoors and adventurous. I am always eager to meet new people and make friends. As anyone would tell you, I am very fond of nice people. I am very social and very willing to make people happy, and I enjoy it when they are"

"Onto my dislikes? Hmm..well one thing I dislike is fighting. I am more a pacifist than anything so I will not fight unless it is necessary. Contrary to my status as a warrior, I am not fond of spicy food, I have a very bad stomach. Mean people are mean, I don't like them one bit, and I want to make friends, they just hinder >P "

"ohmyjonas, me too! wow, thats such a coincidence. so have any dirty habits or secrets?"
I have a habit of shuffling my feet when I am nervous. As for my secret..? Well that's on a need-to-know bases

"coolness, yo. umm. home dawg. anyways. describe yourself."
..Homedawg, really?

I am not at all hostile. I love making friends and I can be very shy around new people. I did have a lot of friends at one time..until I was made a Sanctum L'Cie by Carbuncle. It was an unfortunate accident that was a consequence with failing to protect the one I loved. I had a wife once, I didn't tell you that? Sorry..

"like dude! we're so compatible..."
"You sure?"

"okay, let's rush through this. i'm thinking dancing? then, we can talk about rooms."
"Dancing? I guess so..I used to dance but I've gotten a little rusty. ...What about rooms?"

"shh, if my boss knew about our secret romance... so. what's your heritage?"
Huh..well I had parents that lived in Bodhum as well and they were both in the Military. I had an uncle who moved down from Palumpolum not too long ago but my memory has been on the fritz since the mist showed up. Both of my parents..well it had been five years since I had last seen them but I hope they're doing fine. Considering what I am though, mom's probably not gonna be happy with me..

"wow, your family would love me! have anyone else in your family?"
Annabelle Crevasce is my wife and I loved her very much, can't replace her <3 but misfortune guided her demise. >< Never had pets, I never was a pet person..

"oh. sounds horrible. haha. anything else important happen in your life?"
Well I can tell you..I did once live in Bodhum, I told you that right? Well it was a peaceful city until it was quarantined because of that Pulse Fal'Cie, what was his name again? ehh doesn't matter..The beginning of those thirteen days were the beginning of my Hell. It was strange too because my wife and I were going to have a child. It was about..two months and I already noticed the pregnancy, I almost fainted haha. When that hell was over, my wife..my WIFE was suspected of being a L'Cie all because she was a Bodhum resident and she was reported. I had to deal with PSICOM and other Sanctum harrassments just to get them to let her go.

They said I was just a kid and brushed me off. They moved me and other unnaffected citizens to Palumpolum. I had to wait there for further news on my wife. PSICOM had contacted me after a couple of weeks and told me that my wife was dead and the blame, according to them, was on a group of rebels known as NORA..NORA..my hatred for them burned deep, as deep as my sadness and anguish over the death of my wife Anna and our unborn child.

I made the biggest mistake of my life..I swore vengeance so I had heard the Pulse L'Cie were in Palumpolum. I looked at my Rune Sword..the one thing of my undoing was desiring vengeance on the wrong people.. I put the sword on my back, a few supplies, and then headed out to the underground tunnels. I paused when I saw Carbuncle infront of me, the Sanctum Fal'Cie only glowed serenely but then as I stared it began to glow brighter. I had to shield my eyes to avoid being blinded. Then I heard a voice ring in my head. Young warrior..you seek vengeance when I can give it to you..go..and fulfill your focus, only then will you be dissillusioned. Before I knew it, a Sanctum brand burned bright in my shoulder and I gained powers beyond beyond my previous form. i had become something else.

I pursued the L'Cie for roughly a few weeks before I was in the crystal fields. My eyes looked up. It was dark and the floating continent of Coccoon was burning and exploding, a link of fire went to the ground and before I knew it, the giant continent had been encased in crystal. I then realized it..PSICOM was responsible for my wife's death..not NORA..and then I also realized another thing..my focus was to witness the fall of Cocoon. Upon my realizations, my body lit in a blinding light and became crystal. I was a rock for about a few months..maybe? I don't know. But I awoke and I am ready for action..maybe. Waking up in a distorted world would prove to have more challenges waiting for me.

"hey, look! we're done. so, i would ask you on a second date, but i'm about to explode. no, really. please step back."
"Don't you do it ><"

rp sample.

The memories of a crystal statue held very little, but it was all about the person inside. The cerulean blue crystal shattered in light and a sable haired man was revealed to its captor. The man slowly fell to his knees, his muscles still from his crystaline catosis. His auburn eyes opened and looked up at the huge crystalized sphere."My...god..."He whispered and slowly rose to his feet. He had time so why not explore this place? He was awake..and now was time to make up for lost time. The weather was relatively fair, he had plenty of time to lose so why not explore around a little? He wanted to be as familiar with his surroundings as he could.

He started out in a slow stride to get used to his land legs. He had neglected to do so anyway but he was so lost and confused so he didn't really have time to do..anything really."I don't even have a dang map.."He murmured. All he had was the Storm's family sword, Rune..it was all he needed but for the tougher enemies, well he would have to have better luck than just having a sword. He felt something burn on his left shoulder and he looked to see the Sanctum brand glowing a magical purple color and he lost his footing, dropping to one knee while holding the site around his brand, his senses drowning in the pain for a second until there were just mere pulses of it.

He rose and looked at the brand..his brand new brand and he glanced to the ground."Dammit.." He murmured with frustration and glanced down, rubbing his hand tenderly over the brand before rising to his feet and continued out his way..NOW he had some questions to answer, why did he have a new brand and what was his focus? And where was civilization around here? Not having a map sucked.. His farced hatred with NORA caused him to be like this..and now he carried the brand of Sanctum..ironic.
