Welcome one and all to our beautiful new skin! This marks the visual era of Adventu 4.0, our 4th and by far best design we've had. 3.0 suited our needs for a very long time, but as things are evolving around the site (and all for the better thanks to all of you), it was time for a new, sleek change. The Resource Site celebrity Pharaoh Leep was the amazing mastermind behind this with minor collaborations from your resident moogle. It's one-of-a-kind and suited specifically for Adventu. Click the image for a super easy new skin guide for a visual tour!

[attr="class","pennytext"] BENEFACTORS. Mikoto did not have friends on Terra. Thus, the meaning of what friendship means needs to be taught to her. She does understand exchanges between peers and non-hostile persons. Additionally, it was only recently she no longer viewed non-Terrans as an enemy and has learned to offer tolerance toward them. If one offers assistance, then she does feel it needs to be reciprocated. Generally help offered to her is not turned down, even if it is confusing to her why someone would do such a thing.[break] -Yuffie Kisaragi : This person came crashing into Mikoto's life unannounced and demands she call her "Great Ninja", "Boss", or "Cap'n". Mikoto doesn't believe half the things the Great Ninja tells her, but it has proved an interesting way to learn about human culture and their events. Plus, Yuffie made her feel better when she was not feeling well.

[attr="class","penny"]
[attr="class","pennytext"] ENEMIES. Garland created her with a primary purpose to take care of genomes and expedite the assimilation process of turning Gaia into Terra's new home. Without the latter purpose, the only way to truly make an enemy of her is to threaten another genome. This, however, could change as she continues to learn about living planets and build relations. [break]Lady Hilda: Mikoto is displeased with her. She makes Kuja conflicted and ill. Even caused him to lock himself in room for a long time. Mikoto finds her a threat to her predecessor.
[attr="class","penny"]
[attr="class","pennytext"] FAMILIAL. Mikoto has never known familial love. Things that comprise of a typical family unit is unknown to her. The Black Mages only offered a small community, in which she could feel a sense of 'home' but she could not really connect with them. She does not quite understand that the 'emptiness' she feels is loneliness. But it is this loneliness she feels deeply and it drives her to look for the other genomes to bring them back into a community together.[break] -Kuja : Genome predecessor and reluctant tutor. Even though he destroyed Mikoto's homeworld, in doing so, he undid the chains on the genomes, allowing them to defy their own fates. She is unsure how she feels other than wanting to be near him, to understand him, and to protect him. Though he claims to not care about Terra or genomes, his actions tell her otherwise and she appreciates all his assistance. Part of her knows he is hiding himself. She cannot help but wonder if she had done something wrong or reminded him of painful memories. For now, her remedy is to do her best to not displease him. Though, she is slowly finding her courage to prod the edges.
[attr="class","penny"]
[attr="class","pennytext"] MORE THAN BENEFACTOR. Romantic feelings are harder to develop in her, as she has had even less experience in that type of love. If she developed them, she may not understand what it was she was feeling. It would take a patient person to help her work through and understand these emotions. It would be simple for a cruel person to twist the meaning and confuse her as well.
[attr="class","penny"]
[attr="class","pennytext"] SQUINTS. These are the people she is unsure about or may not fit into the above categories. People that meet her in passing. [break][break] -Garnet Til Alexandros XVII : She is grateful to Garnet for the assistance she offered in the past, but her Gaian values tends to make the Terran in her bristle. This is especially, so when Garnet talks badly about Garland and Kuja. It makes it hard for Mikoto to absorb what Garnet is trying to tell her. Zidane told Mikoto to make friends, and she tried based on what the Qu told her to do. But, Garnet seems too worried about her relationship with Kuja, than getting to know Mikoto. Mikoto doesn't hate Garnet, but the two have issues seeing eye to eye, plus a personality conflict. She may just need more time to process what she was told. [break] -The Nameless Tonberry : An interesting Tonberry that Mikoto found not far from her ghost village. They did not appear to shun her oddities, as she did not their's. There was an open curiosity between the two. She helped them find their way safely out of the forest.
[attr="class","pennytext"] FRIENDS. Quistis is a very approachable person and tends to be the cheerleader/life coach to those she considers friends. No matter what, she is the person you can count on to be there for you. Its not very hard to make friends with her, seeing that she simply enjoys the company of others. She has an excellent sense of humor. These are the types of people she opens up to.[break][break]
Zell: Zell is another SeeD mercenary that she originally taught and then fought along side. They have been through thick and thin together, including surviving evil sorceresses and zombie attacks. She supports him in all his endeavors. He is currently looking for a way to return home, and Quistis will do her best to find that way for him.
[break][break]
Balthier: He claims to be an 'airship pilot', though she knows he's a little more than he appears. They appear to continue having chance encounters and she's always pleasantly surprised at that. It took one date night to give her a taste of freedom. She believes she has a little bit of a crush. She looks forward to that promised airship ride with him...and getting her ChocoWhis back.
[attr="class","penny"]
[attr="class","pennytext"] ENEMIES.Those at the other end of a contract will get the whip. But these are just a job, not necessarily an enemy. Quistis has a good heart and she would protect the innocent that would be harmed - contract or not. Emotions tend to get in the way of her missions, thus any attack on her friends is an affront to her. [break][break]
[attr="class","penny"]
[attr="class","pennytext"] MORE THAN FRIENDS. Quistis is a romantic at heart! She is in search of herself and though she is not looking for love per se, well, sometimes one falls hard. She is a little hesitant to believe her feelings are love, seeing that she's been rejected before. But, she if the feeling grows overwhelming, she will ask to meet in a private place so she can relay her feelings. She prefers stable relations and prefers to give this love to one person.
[attr="class","penny"]
[attr="class","pennytext"] Acquaintances. These are the people who she is friendly and cordial with, but not super close to. Perhaps, she just needs another chance to hang out with them. [break][break] Caius: She is impressed he wields the gunblade with such skill without formal training. And it is obvious he and his dragon share excellent team work. She looks forward to meeting him again and perhaps visiting the Dragonblades in Torensten. [break] Garnet: Garnet seems formal and unused to traveling. Though it is obvious Garnet has the courage to keep moving forward, even if it is with a bit of caution. Maybe they could meet one day in a less adventurous setting. [break] Tellah: The old man seems to be willful enough to go on adventures. He knows his limits, but doesn't let that stop him. She wonders if she can pick his brain one day. He must have quite the story to tell and possibly some academic background. [break] Vossler: Another older gentleman, but garbed in armor. She met him in the rain on a mission to stop sahagin from attacking merchants. He got turned into a frog and her maiden kiss turned him back.
[attr="class","dpennytext"] FRIENDS. Cissnei has a hard time opening up to people. She had been bred that anything outside of Shinra is an enemy. However, her years as an ex-Turk, as well as conflicts of interests when working for Shinra, has lightened this attitude. She is generally courteous, but most who know what she used to be have difficulty trusting her. Her only true friends are of those of the Turks, in which she would give her own life for them. She tends to be softer with those employed (or used to be employed) with Shinra as well. However, her business demeanor allows her to make many acquaintances and clients. [break][break]
-Tseng Xu : Tseng is Cissnei's previous mentor and head of the Turks after Veld defected. She trusts him and his orders. She is thankful for him to be on Zephon and looks up to him for direction, even if he does have to keep her in line. Unfortunately, they are currently at odds on whether or not to trust Hojo. [break] -Ignis Scientia : Ignis appears to be a royal retainer to a king. He was met and rendered aid by chance. Cissnei is helping him look for Noctis in exchange for him being her pastry chef at the café. At least, until he suddenly disappeared. Now knowing that he is in Sonora prison, she supposes she could help him out. But only because he's still under contract with her. [break] -Angeal Hewley : This person was found sulking at a dating event. Cissnei decided to liven up this SOLDIER's night. And oh, what a night. Though it ended up in cooling embers when he was too slow to say what he wanted. Or maybe Cissnei simply was not ready. She welcomes him to come warm her again when he’s in Sonora. [break] -Celes Chere : Cissnei found this person trying to ‘relax’ and ‘have fun’ at the beach. The lady seemed to be failing at it. Cissnei stepped in to try and show her what those activities are like. It might be because Cissnei had a hard time adjusting at one point in her life. [break] -Zack Fair : She is relieved to see he is alive! In the past, she was ordered to stalk him to see if he would lead the Turks to the defected First Class Soldiers. In the end, she ended up feeling bad for his situation. She defied her orders to try to aid him.She would probably do so again to make sure he was safe. [break] -Alexander Sorel : Quirky and unabashed, she is rather fond of him. Though she has a few jobs from him and is owed a few favors, he reminds her of her old Turk partner.
[attr="class","dpenny"]
[attr="class","dpennytext"] Enemies. You do not want to get on Cissnei's bad side. She will not directly fight the enemy if she can avoid it. Instead, she prefers to use damaging information and twist others into helping her do her dirty work. She prefers to make it painful and has much fun damaging one's psyche in the process. A flesh wound hurts, but she would much rather take something much more precious from you. Make you really feel it. She is well versed in torture tactics and making people talk. Currently, the only way to get on her shit list is to be Avalanche, making trouble in Sonora, and/or harming the Turks in ANY way. [break][break]
[attr="class","dpenny"]
[attr="class","dpennytext"] Lovers. Cissnei is a complete flirt and tends to use her silver tongue to her advantage. However, this is generally done as part of her honeypot techniques to lure people into her schemes. She doesn't usually take it any further than a wink at a bar and sitting up close to the person. However, if Cissnei did fall in love with someone, she would do everything she could to support them. She generally is bad at expressing herself emotionally, but she would provide gifts to let them know she's thinking of them. It is hard for her to be this open outside of a Turk or Shinra personnel, but not impossible.
[attr="class","dpenny"]
[attr="class","dpennytext"] Frenemies. These are the people who she can’t bring herself to fully see as an enemy, but are a little more than just acquaintances. She may not fully trust them, but she is willing to work with them. Or maybe she sees them as a potential enemy that she’d prefer to keep close. [break][break] Sephiroth : Quite possibly a frenemy, Cissnei used him to free Sonora of Asael. But she did not actively attack Sephiroth when she had a clear shot of his back. She has humored him enough (and provided him information on Angeal) to at least be able to call on him for assistance if needed. She knows more about his past than she’s let on (or perhaps she doesn’t. She won’t tell), so she’d prefer to keep an eye on his developments.
[attr="class","dpenny"]
[attr="class","dpennytext"] Acquaintances. These are people that get the business professional treatment. Cissnei will work with them on jobs but has no strong feelings towards them. Thus, she keeps it professional. [break][break] Caius Dragelion : She has worked on him on several jobs. Though he seems a little condescending at times, he knows how to do his job when it comes to fighting monsters. He has an interesting fairy-tale background and his fighting prowess is nothing to scoff at.
[attr="class","pennytext"] Friends. Lady Hilda believes in alliances and is a pacifist at heart. The more people can work together, the more we can accomplish. However, due to her noble upbringing, she sometimes finds it hard to open her heart as a friend might to another. But, once she does, she is generally warm and prone to use affectionate nicknames. [break] -Genesis: A gentleman that decided on a whim to help her take on a haunted hedge maze. She has found him reliable in strength and enjoys the poetry she spouts. She cannot wait to work with him at the academy of arts in Provo.
[attr="class","penny"]
[attr="class","pennytext"] ENEMIES. Even though she prefers pacifist tactics, she knows it is foolish to think that a show of force is never necessary. She will gather her military to defend her home and offer aid to neighboring kingdoms. And woe to those who provoke her wrath, in which she will use her sorcery and calculated tactics to move against them.
[attr="class","penny"]
[attr="class","pennytext"] FAMILIAL. Her family situation with her parents are strained, though they reap the benefits of her higher status. She married into royalty at fourteen as a marriage of convenience. And despite her hurting marriage, she has found a family in a select few. She will do whatever she can to care for and protect them. [break] -Garnet: Though Garnet is not related to her by blood, she and Cid were close family friends to her adoptive father. When he passed, they took it upon themselves to protect her. So, when the Queen of Alexandria seemed to be spiraling into mental instability at the untimely death of her husband, Lady Hilda and Regent Cid arranged for Tantalus to kidnap her and bring her to them for safe keeping. Now she will do whatever she can to keep her safe on Zephon. [break] -Eiko: Eiko Carol is Hilda and Cid's adopted daughter. She loves her little firecracker ferociously and mothers her. She wants Eiko to be well learned and know she is strong enough to overcome anything that is thrown at her. She has not seen her on Zephon, but she hopes in her heart she is safe at home.
[attr="class","penny"]
[attr="class","pennytext"] Lover. Though she is married, her marriage is quite strained after baring witness to her husband's infidelity, made only worse by her being barren. She often wonders what it would be like to have a relationship based on romantic feelings...if only it wasn't considered treason for her to do so.... then again, she's no longer in Lindblum so such rules cannot reach her...Or would that make her as low as her husband...She is very conflicted on the matter. [break] -Regent Cid Fabool IX: She loves her husband, or rather, she has found parts of him to love, if that is the same. He is kind, playful, and has an engineer's mind. All these she loves in him. They work well together as they watch over Lindblum and maintain its rule. Though she has forgiven him for his lecherous behavior, she is not convinced he will not do it again. Her trust was shaken.
[attr="class","penny"]
[attr="class","pennytext"] Frenemy. Hilda's leniency, patience, and kindness can sometimes get the better of her. She has a tendency to see the good in most people, even those considered villains. Whether or not this will be the death of her, it is yet to be found out. [break] -Kuja: During her moment of weakness - and a time where she expended much of her own magic - Kuja seized her stolen airship and kidnapped her. Not part of his master plan, she was treated with conveniences befitting her station. She holds her tongue on what happened between them, and despite all he has done, the only negatives she lists is his tiresome talking and his hopelessly narcissistic personality. She knows of his crimes, but also bore witness his softer sides during their time together. It makes it hard for her to condemn him when she lost her own temper with her husband and created a mess of her own. There also seems to be a fondness for him resting in her heart. Here on Zephon, she hopes to make peace with him and perhaps start anew in different circumstances. But, she will also stop him if he decided to cause harm again. [break]-Yuffie: Hilda is not sure what Yuffie's motives are. But she stole both spotlight and jewelry from the woman. Hilda thinks that maybe the young lady is just misguided and needs maybe a push in the right direction.
