Character: Ramza Beoulve
Series:
Final Fantasy TacticsCharacter Age: 17
Canon: In the land of Ivalice, war was beginning. It the midst of a conflict with enough coup d'états, backstabbing and double agents to make even Shakespeare cry "murder!" we find Ramza. The bastard son of the great knight Balbanes Beoulve, Ramza is still recognized as a noble, though he seems to have none of the underhanded dealings, treachery, and possession by zodiac demons that run rampant in the world of Ivalice. Instead, he's far more willing to naively cling to his ideals of justice and desire to protect the innocent and the weak. Perhaps because of the circumstances surrounding his birth, Ramza is a bit modest and shy, though firmly clings to his belief that all men are created equal and fights to prevent senseless violence and the slaughter of innocents. Ironically enough, these actions wind up getting him branded as a heretic by the church and erased from the history books.
Notes for the app: Because Final Fantasy Tactics had an official translation that, though not on par with All Your Base, was certainly found to be lacking by the fans, I've based Ramza's voice in this app on the fan translations of the script that can be found here. I feel that it better represents Ramza's noble upbringing as well as his original Japanese voice.
Also, FFT has side-quests called "propositions" which are essentially little expeditions that you take at bars. Malboros are also the FF equivalent of tentacle monsters.
Sample Post: That was a close one, good sir. Had your struggle continued a moment longer, you might have lost your arm. But no worries, my steed Boco is swift on his feet and I was able to catch it as your foe severed it from your body. You are more than welcome to have it back now if you would but offer me a bit of assistance. You see, I have come from the land of Ivalice, hired to assist you and your comrades in arms.
Oh, I'm terribly sorry. I assume by your blank expression that you wish to know who hired me. I believe I still have the proposition on my person. You may peruse it if you desire. If I am not mistaken the original wording was along the lines of "Summer Swamp Scandal! Charging into battle in the swamps of the land of Louisiana, my troops unwittingly released a powerful curse that turned us all to zombies! Now the enemy monthly sends waves of embittered and apathetic teens to battle against us, not understanding the plight of my zombie companions! Send help quickly! --Trent Ackle Rapier"
I must say that when I read the proposition, I did not expect that your troops would number so many! At every turn I find myself face to face with the decaying flesh of another who has been so wrongfully cursed and then set upon by the forces that have since amassed here. I have tried to use the holy water in my stores to return your friends to their rightful state, but it seems to have no effect. Yet such obstructions will not force me to abandon my efforts. I cannot let you suffer unjustly!
Perhaps if you could direct me to a body of water I might be of better assistance to your cause? You see the holy water I have comes from the waters of Ivalice. However, it would seem that the local fauna in this area is…quite different from those regions.
I-is it really appropriate to…grow women's undergarments? I think this difference in climate may be why my waters have not yet cured you of your curse. I have some training as a priest, and though I may be a bit rusty, I'm sure that holy water made of your local springs would be certain to reverse your undeserved fate.
N-no, sir, I'm not in search of brains, I mean to ask you for where I might find a river or stream of some sort. Though it saddens me to see you so afflicted with this curse that has crippled you and your brethren. I cannot imagine what sort of foul, polluted, and disgusting—ah! A lake! Excellent! I only need a few vials before I can—oh. S-sir, I think you should be aware that your lake seems to have an unwanted inhabitant. If you desire I would be more than willing to take care of it for…ah. Good sir, why are you laughing? No, wait—don't push—!!
I…I didn't know Malboros were that
big o-or that…
friendly. N-no worries, sir, I believe I’ll be just fine, but d-does…someone have a potion?
Or…I…think I need a phoenix down…Voting went

count_onme and doing a First Impressions meme. Comment here and I will tell you what Ramza thinks of you from the one time that he has interacted with you (or two times, if your name is Peony, Albert, Imoen, Wood, or Kabuto)
