Lightning <3Personality: To those who don’t know her Lightning comes off as a cold calculating person. Even though Lightning can be rough around the edges and at times seem uncaring she’s actually a good person. Lightning’s motto “A target is a target” belies how she really feels. Even though she is very driven by whatever her current goal is she does care about those she travels with. She will do anything to protect those who have earned her trust with little regard to her own safety.
Lightning is a born leader and as such often sees taking the front lines as her duty. Even if being on the front lines could mean great physical harm to her. Lightning protects her teammates no matter who they are even if she doesn’t always agree with them. She has a very strict belief in doing what’s right even if it does mean occasionally stepping out of what is legally acceptable. Her training as a soldier has made her a very strict person often being harsh to anyone who travels with her should they do something exceptionally stupid.
Original World: Cocoon
Current World: Twilight Town
Movie/Videogame: Final Fantasy XIII and Dissidia Duodecim
History: Lightning was born in the small seaside village of Bodahm under the name of Claire Farron. When she was three years old her baby sister Serah was born. As they grew older Lightning became very close with her younger sister. Unfortunately while they were both very young they lost their parents leaving Lightning to take care of both of them. Because of this Lightning decided to join the Army to earn more money.
After several years of training Lightning joined the army as a member of the Guardian Corps Bodahm regiment. Her duties as such were basically to keep peace in the town. She would occasional have missions to hunt monsters as well. One of the biggest thorns in her side in this regard was Snow Villiers and his group of amateur monster hunters known as N.O.R.A (No Obligations, Rules, or Authority). To add to her frustrations with the group Serah was dating Snow.
Shortly before Lightning’s 21st birthday tragedy struck again. This time in the form of a Fal’cie from the lower world. Serah had stumbled upon the vestige that the Fal’cie was housed in and had been branded by it turning her into a L’cie. Because of the way Serah and Snow brought the topic up to her she became enraged thinking it was some kind of sick joke.
Shortly after Lightning resigned from the army and volunteered to be purged in hopes of destroying the Fal’cie and saving her sister. At first Lightning fought against the army with a pilot named Sazh Katzroy but she eventually joined up with others. The others she joined up with inside the Pulse Fal’cie vestige were a couple of kids named Hope and Vanille along with, to her great displeasure, Snow. Lightning was to late to save Serah who had turned to crystal for completing her focus. After that the group challenged the Fal’cie Anima. Even though they had almost defeated it they were all marked with Anima’s brand before falling to the lake below which was somehow crystallized.
At first Lightning didn’t care what her focus as a L’cie was! She was more determined to wage war on the Sanctum and all Fal’cie for her cruel fate. Eventually Lightning along with the others learned that this was in fact their focus. Even though the group tried to rebel at first they eventually had no choice but to submit to their fate. They crushed the Fal’cie Orphan and with him destroyed Cocoon sending it crashing towards Pulse. Vanille and Fang who were originally from Pulse became the monstrosity Ragnarock in order to save both worlds from destruction. After this all of them turned to crystal. Everyone except for Vanille and Fang eventually woke up and were reunited with their loved ones. After this however Lightning somehow found herself on a whole new world that was neither Pulse nor Cocoon.
Role Play Sample: Lightning stared straight ahead of her at the strange white creatures in front of her. They were dressed similar to Samurai’s but they obviously weren’t human. She watched their movements while moving cautiously. It was obvious that whatever these things were they were dangerous. She charged foreword and slashed at one of them scoring a hit and knocking it back a bit. She flipped out of the way of an attack from two more of the Samurai and switched her Gunblade to it’s gun mood shooting at all three of them.
She switched her Gunblade back to sword mode as she landed and saw one of them disappear. “Alright lets see how you take this.” Lightning said as she subconsciously shifted from her Commando role to Ravager role. “THUNDAGA!” She cried out pointing her blade towards both of the strange Samurai. They were both struck down vanishing like the previous one. Before Lightning could catch her breath though more of the strange samurai appeared.
Lightning looked around for some way out of this predicament. Finding no way out with out first clearing the crowd she decided she would have to resort to drastic measures. She pulled out the Eidoloth that her Eidolon Odin was in. She threw it in the air and jumped up shooting it. “ODIN!” She shouted as the crystal shattered and the giant warrior appeared holding his duel edged blade. “We stand together.” She said holding her blade out as the giant Eidolon rushed forward separating his weapon.
Lightning and Odin made quick work of the new Samurai creatures. Both of them attacking and casting lightning spells at the creatures. Before long all of the creatures were dispersed. Lightning smiled as the Eidolon vanished. “Until next time.” She muttered.
Lightning decided to explore the town just outside of the forest she had been fighting in. She needed to learn more about where she was and what those creatures were. She hoped that she could find her sister or someone else that she knew here as well. She was afraid though that she had lost her sister for the second time in less then a year.
