Powers:Garland has immensive strength due to his strong clutch on darkness. He also has a great knowledge of magic being able to wield the elements of fire, earth, wind, water, ice, lightning, and some types of holy magic. Although he can use holy magic he prefers his more reliable dark magic. Garland also has his own special limits:
"Keishi" - Garland absorbs as much darkness as he can under a limited time and engulfs his sword in the darkness, allowing him to overpower many of his enemies, even thoose skilled in hand-to-hand combat.
"Reikon Minori" - Garland becomes temporarily invulnerable and goes on rampage, swinging at everything in sight.
"Kaosu Pa-Ji" - Garland's sword becomes an avatar of Chaos. Garland can cast magic freely while his Chaos-Avatar will protect him from frontal damage. This lasts only for 1 minute.
Weapon:Garland wields a two-handed great sword called "Hisshi". It can break down into other weapons at the will of Garland's massive dark energy. Other forms are known as:
2 Swords: "Hinshi" and "Henshi"
Hammer: "Koketsu"
Lance: "Sokushi"
Chain-Sword: "Youshi"

Appearance:About 6 feet and 3 inches tall, Garland is one of the tallest Final Fantasy characters ever (Not including all the giant sized creatures.). Garland is strong built, and occasionally likes to pose with his arm cluthing the dark aura that surrounds him. Garland has no known hair color or eye color, but his helmet does show glowing yellow eyes. Garland has a deep voice that has another echoing lighter voice, this may be so because that the echoing voice is his original voice while the deep voice that nearly shrouds his original voice is the part of him that has given up to the darkness.
Personality:Garland acts mysterious and loves to confuse his enemies with riddles. He is, however, very cocky about his strength and how much he knows, acting as though he is the greatest thing to happen sence life. He loves to laugh at hope and attempts to pull people into the deep darkness he is now so settled in. At the sight of The Warrior of Light, Garland becomes angered but in the end still questions why The Warrior of Light fights for the weak light and not for the overpowering darkness. Because he once was possessed by the darkness, he now has some what of a little fear of becoming a Heartless again (Explained in his story.). He is also some what of a dectection to darkness. He can smell auras of light and dark or at least have some senses that mingle with them.
Original World: Dissidia (World of Final Fantasy)
Current Residing World: Radient Gardens
Story: Garland was once a normal citizen of the world of Dissidia. He was an honorary knight of the kingdom of Coneria (Main city of the world.) but became tempted by the powers of darkness that he eventually betrayed the kingdom and kidnapped the princess of Coneria. But in the process was defeated by The Warrior of Light (Menchined on few FF forums to be known as "Epoch", although he was never given a starting name. By default, he is the "Knight" from FF1.). After his defeat he was reborn 2000 years in the past. He learned of a place where darkness was supplied by unlimited amounts; Kingdom Hearts. After reading that past prophecies, he learned of an artifact that leads to the heart of his world; the keyhole. He allowed himself to be consumed by the darkness and with it created four "Fiends" that each represented the four elements of the world; *Fire*, *Water*, *Earth*, and *Wind/Air*. He used these Heartless-like Fiends to hunt for the keyholes. However, his Fiends were defeated by The Warrior of Light, who had now learned of Garland's plans. Garland prepared himself for the battle with The Warrior of Light, by consuming as much darkness as he could ultimately leading to his heart being consumed by the Heartless, Chaos. After The Warrior of Light had defeated the mighty Heartless, Garland had his heart return to him. He fled into the Chaos Temple (Now his lair.) where he plans to one day rule the darkness and not the other way around. His Heartless-like Fiends' names are Lich, Lilith, Kracken, and Tiamat who act as gaurds to his lair. He currently is residing in Radient Gardens, after his world has already been in engulfed in the darkness. Like almost all other Final Fantasy characters (Almost all.) he too found his way to Radient Gardens but in fear of what might become of him to it's residence, he consealed his heart in darkness and hid away in the uncharted crystal plains that cover majority of Radient Gardens. He's planning something but its not yet known what exactly that is?
Role Playing Sample:He did not intead to allow his plans to fail this time. He attempted to grab the dark crystal, knowing that this MUST unlock the door to his world's heart.
"If the crystals are the source of all power in our world... then surely the dark crystal must be the most powerful of them, and that it WILL reveal the heart of this world."He had begun his argumentative (He questioned what he was doing.) quest to seek the keyhole of his world.
"From what I can sum up to be rediculously an impossible task, I may be able to find the keyhole with the help of my faithful Fiend Heartless."Clutching the air, he had summoned his Heartless; Lich, Lilith, Kracken, and Tiamat; to seek out the keyhole in the most obvious of locations, via. The Great Earth Seal, or the Gurgu Volcano, or even the Floating Castle. With this done, Garland had set his chain of power on the world; while he resided in the past waiting for his Heartless to find the keyhole, his Heartless caused havoic in the future whilest searching for the keyhole. Garland had believed this to make him untouchable but this was soon to be disproven. His Heartless had been defeated and to remake them would take many months, as Garland feared if he consumed to much darkness all at once, he would loose his entire being. But his decision was decided when this threat had found a way into the past. Garland had no choice but to absorb as much darkness as possible. Although he had re-created his Heartless as body gaurds, the darkness he had absorbed did not leave him. He had thought that he had reached the power that so many have tried to claim but in the end he had been overtaken by the mighty Heartless known as Chaos.
