Name: UltimeciaNickname: Just try to call her anything other than her name, I dare you.
Organization XIII or Dark XII Nickname:Age: Unknown - Ultimecia looks like she's about 30. Because sorceresses gain physical changes, Ultimecia could be 80, but still look 30, so how old or young Ultimecia actually is can't really be judged.
Gender: Female
Species: Sorceress
Position: Neutral-Evil.
Powers: Ultimecia has a wide array of powers, some deteriorated upon revival. Her main power focuses on time and space manipulation.
Her Spells:-Fusillade Arrow -> Ultimecia releases a stream of magical missiles that barrages an area. Low damage, 3 post cooldown. Seals off Axe until Arrow finishes cooldown.
-Fusillade Axe -> Creates the image of a large axe with pure, magical energy. Slices into an area for moderate damage. 5 post cooldown. Seals off Arrow until Axe finishes cooldown.
-Shockwave Pulsar -> Ultimecia takes the whole post to charge extremely volatile and destructive energy. She then releases the small orb that flies quickly before her, causing a tremendous explosion and large damage. 8 post cooldown. Seals off Manifestation (And Griever) until finishes cooldown.
-Time Magic -> Ultimecia still has a portion of her time magic, and she can still cast Haste, Slow and a weak Stop (Stop only affects weak Heartless/Nobodies, and small projectiles.)
-Elemental Magic -> Ultimecia is proficient in manipulating time and space spells although most of her stronger spells are no longer usable - Quake (Pulls Earth from the ground, Quake can be casted to control the Earth in many manners, e.g., pull the Earth from beneath target to trip, launch Earth at the target. Can also pull to form the form of a staircase and such.) Depending on the magnitude of the spell, cooldown ranges from 3 to 10.
Sets a cooldown on Thundaga equivalent to the cooldown on Quake.
->Thundaga -> Calls down crackling lightning energy to blast an area before her with moderate lightning elemental damage. 8 post cooldown.
-"Teleportation" -> Although her teleportation powers had greatly diminished, she still has the powers to phase through physical objects such as walls or the floor. As such, she can pass through locked doors or phase through the top floor of a building to a lower floor, easing a escape. She cannot pass through none-man-made-objects however. 2 post cooldown. Unable to cast Thundaga and Quake until cooldown finishes.
-Float -> Ultimecia can float a little above the ground, this is for comfortableness when traveling and moving. Ultimecia is put out of Float status if she is attacked, and will fall back down. Ultimecia can cast spells while floating.
-Manifestation -> Ultimecia retains her ability to manifest and give life to very
very strong thoughts or inanimate objects. She can take advantage of one thinking too hard of a person or creature, "creating" them to do her bidding. She cannot read minds - a mind is not a book, but she can see strong and powerful thoughts. Statues are the only objects Ultimecia prefers to manifest, as they are easy to control. She has her own manifestation - the Guardian Force Griever. 10 post cooldown.
-Griever -> A Guardian Force, Griever is the ultimate manifestation Ultimecia managed to create and retain for her own uses - created using the mind of Squall Leonheart. Griever is a large creature with a head resembling a lion, talon-claws, large black-white wings and crimson-blade protrusions on his arms. His skin is a dark purple with red patterns, and has white fur over his body. Griever has lost his ability to cast Shockwave Pulsar, but he retains his physical strength, and mainly attacks physically. Griever can also fly. Once per topic.
-Pass -> A power inherited by all Sorceress, when Ultimecia has been killed, some of her current powers will be passed to the nearest suitable candidate. Ultimecia is temporarily free to distort time to travel between the worlds to pass on her powers to a candidate, should one not be in her current world. Candidate will obtain 3 of her spells. Death upon successful pass.
Weapon:Odine Bangle.Once a tool meant to seal away Ultimecia's powers, she easily detected it for what it was and apprehended the user. It was honestly too attractive to throw away, so she rid it of its harmful powers and turned it into a device that amplified her powers. The Odine Bangle does nothing but amplify her powers to the point it is at now, but it is really pretty.
She does though utilize her abilities to launch multitudes of small debris and objects at enemies that she deems unworthy of wasting her mighty prowess on, the largest she can launch without penalty is around the size of a football.
Picture: Ultimecia, Ultimecia and Ultimecia.Appearance: Ultimecia wears a somewhat revealing outfit - her attire consists a tight red satin ball gown with a plunging neckline that reaches over the crotch, with a little of her neck, chest, stomach and abdomen exposed, and her bosoms are partially obscured. A black-fur-ruffle along the edge of the bodice to the collar, the ruffle is largest behind the neck, nesting over her shoulders and covering the junction of her large black feathery wings.
The hemline drags on the floor behind her, yet it never seems to wear or tear - a simple result of her magic. Long red-blouse sleeves join with her taloned hands, which are colored purple. Exposed skin (face, torso and legs) are moderately tattooed with lined patterns. Jewelery is present with a gold necklace around her neck. Additionally, there are earrings and hair jewelery amongst a headdress designed to pull her hair up to resemble horns while silver bangs are left free to hang down past her hip as they frame her face. She has bright yellow eyes among purple eye shadow. She wears no footwear, walking (and sometimes, floating) barefoot. Although Ultimecia has a human appearance her feet resemble those of a lion. Ultimecia has a beautiful bangle on her right wrist with intricate carvings, no matter how hard on might try, the bangle is unremovable.
Personality: At first glance, one would think - who was this lady with ridiculous clothing? Ultimecia has a definite sense of style - most of her belongings easily set her apart from other people. Once, she was a sorceress driven purely by anger and hate, malevolence and manipulation - mainly because she knew her coming fate, her inevitable death by the hands of the oppression. Now she is lost and confused,
some of her wrathful evilness dissipated when she was somehow brought back to life - in a different world. As she has lost the ability to take in and reshape the universe to her commands, she has to regroup her thoughts and rethink destroying the universe - why destroy the universe when you cannot do anything else? No matter what however - her hatred for the members of the SeeD still stands - she would, and will attempt to destroy them if she meets them.
Ultimecia also has an excellent diplomatic and strategic mind. She is very smart, and manipulates people to help her easily. She is quite arrogant - nearly nothing could match her powers in the old world, but in this unknown place, her vanity is slightly toned down - she definitely greatly takes great pride in her powers however. She is also quite patient, and can take bear long periods of time to achieve her goals - as she literally spent centuries perfecting her plan. She also likes objects with distinctive style. She bears grudges - invoke her wrath and she will think nothing of hunting you down through hundreds of worlds just to kill you.
Original World: The World. (
The world of FF-8 has no proper name..)Current World: Traverse Town
Video Game: Final Fantasy 8.
History: Ultimecia's early and young life has always been a mystery, an enigma. One thing is for sure - she either received her powers from family inheritance, or from the passing of another sorceress. Past, present, future, all three realms of time were open to her. As many other would, she looked into her own future - discovering the inevitable fate that awaited everybody - her own death..by the hands of SeeD. And then, she found out what met all other sorceress - discrimination and hatred from everyone she met. Enraged, she begun to concoct a plan that would make great use of her own powers to spur her unto the path of omnipotence, to become a God, to overcome the barrier that was Death. Little did she know that it was her discovering her fate that caused her own death - it was pure irony.
Finally, she put her elaborate plan into action. From the future, she used a device called the Junction Machine Ellone to send her consciousness back into the past, the era of the SeeD. She took the body of Edea Kramer, another sorceress, and combined Edea's talents with her own, creating a mightily influential woman. She quickly rose through bureaucracy and fame, and was appointed the title of Ambassador of Galbadia by President Vinzer Deling, the president of Galbadia. President Deling went to Timber, a place with worldwide televised broadcasting, and was nearly assassinated by Seifer Almasy, a failed SeeD cadet. However, both lived due to the revelation that Seifer was from Balamb Garden. Ultimecia herself came forth, showing herself to the SeeD for the first time in Edea's body, and charmed Seifer to her side. She then proceeded to teleport both back to Galbadia.
Seifer was the appointed as Ultimecia-Edea's "Sorceress Knight", Ultimecia-Edea's very own guardian. President Deling was completely oblivious to Ultimecia-Edea's plans, and continued to publicize Edea Kramer, planning a massive parade in Deling City to honor her appointment. The SeeD mercenaries however planned a assassination on Ultimecia-Edea during the parade to prevent her from seizing power across the world. Before the parade begun, Rinoa Heartilly, which was pretty much a SeeD herself, attempted to seal away Ultimecia-Edea's sorceress powers. She easily recognized it for what it was, and subdued Rinoa with ease. Ultimecia took the bangle however, planning to use it for herself later.
She controlled Rinoa and ascended the podium of the balcony, to give her acceptance speech to the people of Galbadia. It was a speech of hatred for the people who would create the generations that would condemn Ultimecia in the future. However, she cast a spell across the area, the influence of the spell drove the crowd into a frenzy of reverence for Ultimecia-Edea. She turned and killed President Deling with her bare hands, a display of her powers, and declared herself the new ruler of Galbadia. She manifested two statues to destroy Rinoa Heartilly, before boarding her parade float that took her across the streets.
As she passed under a massive plot, one of the SeeD, Irvine Kirneas (a sniper), attempted to take her life, but she blocked it in time, and was full-fronted attacked by Squall Leonheart, Irvine Kirneas and Rinoa Heartilly (That was rescued). She easily subdued the SeeD, and had them all imprisoned in a prison. With her new powers as the dictator of Galbadia, she announced Balamb as her enemy, ordering missiles to be fired at Balamb Garden due to the assassination attempt, and Trabia Garden. However, Balamb Garden was able to avoid the missiles due to the SeeD who escaped imprisonment. Trabia Garden was destroyed.
Ultimecia-Edea took control of the final garden, Galbadia Garden, and begun to look for a woman named Ellone, one with the power over time as well, albeit less powerful than Ultimecia herself. She planned to use Ellone to continue her plan - Time Compression. Time Compression is the concept of condensing all of time and space into a single moment, or "singularity." It can be initiated by her casting a spell, which requires incredible power and places them at the center of said singularity. By compressing the entire universe in this manner and placing herself at the center of it, Ultimecia would be able to assimilate all of creation into herself, then use her Sorceress Power to recreate everything according to her desires.
She raided many towns, yet her search was unsuccessful. Angered, she finally sought a straight battle with Balamb Garden directly, and ordered Galbadia Garden to engage Balamb Garden. The SeeD however, confronted her in the auditorium of Galbadia Garden, where Ultimecia-Edea and Seifer fought with the SeeD. Both were bested by the SeeD. Edea Kramer, upon defeat, was forced to relinquish her powers to the nearest candidate - Rinoa Heartilly. As Edea was no longer a sorceress, Ultimecia was forced out of her body, and she had no choice but to possess Rinoa's body. Ultimecia used Rinoa to revive Seifer, and had him salvage the Lunatic Pandora, a massive structure that can induce the Lunar Cry - a phenomenon where creatures of the moon - monsters - fall to earth. She had further plans however - to use the Lunar Cry to return the sealed Sorceress Adel, entombed in space, back to Earth.
Upon giving the order to Seifer, she forced Rinoa into a coma, and watched her plan unfold. Squall Leonheart brought Rinoa to the Lunar Base to find a means to awaken her, and Ultimecia seized the opportunity to unlock Adel's tomb right there in space. Awakening Rinoa, she brought her to Adel's Tomb, where she unlocked the tomb, before abandoning Rinoa's body in space to die, as she had no further use for her. During this period, Seifer had taken control of the Lunatic Pandora and completed the Lunar Cry, which pulled a massive amount of monsters as well as Adel's unlocked tomb down to Earth. He then proceeded to capture Ellone and return to the Lunatic Pandora for Ultimecia's further uses.
Currently, Ultimecia existed in the future and present era. With Ellone's power, she could further her consciousness into the past, so she would exist in all three eras. With her mind present in all three eras of time, she could complete the requirements needed for her to cast Time Compression.
After the abduction of Ellone, the SeeD, having saved Rinoa Heartilly once again, figured out the plans of Ultimecia. They concocted a plan with the Estharian scientist, Dr. Odine, the perpetrator of the Odine Bangle, to halt Ultimecia's schemes and kill her once and for all. As expected, Ultimecia possessed the freed Adel, a mighty sorceress even without the powers of Ultimecia adding to Adel's. She ordered Seifer to capture Rinoa Heartilly yet again, and brought her to Adel's tomb. She proceeded to junction Rinoa's body to Adel's, helping restore the latter's power. The SeeD engaged Ultimecia-Adel-Rinoa in battle, defeating Adel (-Ultimecia-Rinoa). Adel was then forced to pass on her powers to Rinoa Heartilly, causing Rinoa to be the only remaining Sorceress Ultimecia could possess.
Upon possession, Ellone proceeded to send both Rinoa and Ultimecia's consciousnesses into the distant past, allowing Ultimecia to finally initiate Time Compression. However, as soon as the spell started, Ellone dragged both minds back, temporarily halting the spell. The SeeD used the partial compression as a way to Ultimecia's future era, where she resided in a massive castle. Using her powers, she sealed away the powers of the SeeD, storing them in her minions. One by one, the SeeD regained their powers, and confronted Ultimecia in her Master Room.
Their final confrontation stretched into Ultimecia transforming into several forms, and manifestating a creature in Squall's mind, named Griever. Finally, Ultimecia turned into her final God-like form, allowing her to begin absorbing all of time, space and existence into her body. However, the SeeD still managed to strike her down. With a massive explosion, Ultimecia fell, and Ultimecia traveled through the time warp to the where Edea Kramer resided 13 years before these incidents. She was too drained of her powers, and struggled to live, but was forced to pass her powers on to Edea Kramer, unknowingly perpetuating the cycle of her defeat by SeeD. Ultimecia ended up dying by the hands of the SeeD...
Or did she?
The appearance of the Heartless completely interrupted the precise flow of paradoxes, ripping into The World near one of the cycles when she was near death. Said cycle had Ultimecia "dying" in a pool of darkness instead and Edea receiving part of her powers. Unable to strike at her despite her weakened state, so was she was vomited into Traverse Town instead.
Role Playing Sample: She could feel power pulsing in and out of her. She
was power. And yet, and yet, they would not die, they would not disappear, annoying pesky [/i]SeeDs[/i]. How could they have even survived the first few minutes of Time Compression? And they had lasted, lasted through her castle, they defeated her minions, even dispatched her ultimate weapon. The last one especially was nothing short from ridiculous, she herself had problems properly subduing it. She had been so sure of herself at the start, she already knew what was coming, but now..
Again and again she attacked, she even hurled spells that didn't even
exist beforehand, they still stood. She finally figured out the problem - healing spells. With a simple burst of energy, she deprived them from their complete stock of curing spells. Triumphantly, she blasted them again - finally, they could die. The annoying girl waving the stick was reaching into her pocket. What was she..?
"Squall!"With a sprinkle of green, Seifer's rival stood at full height once again, his energy fully restored.
What the Edea? Enough. She brought up her hand - she was going to finish them off, no matter what, even if she had to die with them, she was bringing them down with her.
"And....I......"Ultimecia opened her eyes, before blinking rapidly - what? A plethora of thoughts and feelings went through her head in a second, and she was
very very confused. Firstly..what was she lying on...it was solid...but Time Compression..? She slowly sat up - she had reverted to her original form. She was sitting on some old, battered crates that looked like they were on the verge of breaking apart. A dangerous creak came from them at her movements, and she hastily got off. Her eyes scanned the area quickly - she was in a dark area, a back alley perhaps? One thing was for sure, she had never seen this place before. She stood there, completely stunned - was she not dead? Had she not passed her powers to Kramer? And the SeeD...
him, the leader, had watched him do so. It was pathetic, she couldn't even cast the lowliest of spells on him.
"Sickening." she spat vehemently.
Which brought her to her second question..her powers. Ultimecia turned, facing the large wall. Raising her hand, she brought it down in front of the wall - the wall seemed to liquify for less then a second - then it turned back to it's original, solid, very hard form.
She still had her powers. But..they were much weaker than her original powers.
Frustration. She walked back to the crates, looked down on them then decided she would do better then that. She sat down on air itself, hovering as though seating on an invisible chair. Next...Time Compression. In a more vicious swipe this time, she concentrated all her energy, but managed to do nothing but blast the crate into little wooden pieces with a large energy blast that looked like a hatchet. Interesting. And
annoyance. She should've known it wouldn't work, she no longer had the woman..nor did she had Junction Machine Ellie. Or was it Alia? She really could not be bothered.
Now...the state of the world, and the
SeeD.
Anger. She suddenly got back up in a graceful flourish.
She was going to hunt each and every one of those stupid seeds down, and she was going to torture them without stopping. She still recalled their battle - pain pain pain pain pain. Tentatively touching her chest, she realized she had no wounds whatsoever. Well, except for a splinter in her...but that was beside the point. She had to figure out where was she in...the area was rather sleazy, so she took a guess at..Timber, maybe? It could not be however, she could not see the massive television screen that had Adel's words broadcasted all the time. Honestly, you'd think she'd spend more time trying to
escape than broadcast mere
words over the screen, it would've made her plans so much easier to execute..
Finally...her revival. How was she even here, thinking, moving, walking...It was impossible.
Curiousity. Perhaps she could harness the power that brought her back to life...and use it to crush the SeeD into little pieces. Yes, that sounded simply spiffy. Ultimecia turned and floated gently towards the bright light, presumably the exit to the rather malodorous area. The even brighter light outside hit her like Catoblepas on Aura. She hissed again, and considered returning to the dark alley, but she had to find out where she was.
She pointed to the nearest person she saw.
"You." she said haughtily. The man stared at her.
"Tell me. Which town are we currently in," "Traverse Town, your majesty." he replied sarcastically. Ultimecia was considerably taken aback by his rudeness -
did he not know who he was talking to? Fighting to keep her patience under control, she continued,
"And which continent is this Traverse Town? Galbadian perhaps?" she added, looking at the buildings disparagingly. The man stared at her just as disparagingly.
"And tell me, your majesty, what drugs are you on? This world is called Traverse Town, your majesty." he replied.
Why you little.. "This world? Does that mean there are other worlds outside this one?" Ultimecia said, now exceedingly confused. Outside of the world and the moon, she had never realized there were...other worlds.
"No shit, sherlock." the man snapped. He turned around and began walking away.
Ultimecia opened her mouth to say
Return here so I may telekinetically rip you to shreds! But instead said
"Very well. Thank you for your assistance. Now the man himself looked confused at this sudden display of politeness.
Ugh. Kindness. Must refrain self from gagging. She sighed to herself - no longer did she have Junction Machine Ellie, no longer did she have the woman - she didn't even have the power to compress time even if she had the two. What would she do now....or more likely, what
could she do now. She became uncomfortably aware that she was attracting a lot of attention, and considered returning to the alley again. ....
No. She was Ultimecia. Destroyer of the world. A
God. Well..almost a God. She very nearly wiped out the entire universe damn it. Her eyes narrowed dangerously. What was she doing skulking around like the SeeD? She almost spat. She was going to find a way to return to her world, and crush the SeeD. This time..she would not fail. A mere fluke it was that they had defeated her once, but now she had returned...
