As far as I can remember Greek literatures, oracles are sort of messengers (messenger of the gods?). They are the ones responsible for 'talking' and interpreting what the gods wish to do. They are also responsible for delivering the peoples messages to the gods. I want to be like that, not the FFT Oracle.

I'll start PMing abilities. Depending on the type of character people have they'll get more or less. If you want slightly different abilities or think there's something else that fits your class say so and I may give it to you now, maybe later. If you want a slight change in an ability I'll do that too. Oh and by the way, I like it when you type what a character is thinking as it gives a better feel of the character for me and definitely adds to who they are- you don't have to but it'd be cool.

Shadow Bahamut- Excellent character, I have no questions.

Seiken-Shokugun- Good bio, the oracle thing is great, but you'd have to understand that some people wouldn't take him seriously as an oracle without training (and that Delphi has the most prominent oracles)- of course this could add to the story. The two beginnings below may seem similar, but there's a reason for this.

Shiromoto
(I forgot to ask for this, could you please post his personality, thanks)
After getting up in the morning Shiromoto noticed a change in the people around him. There was much more steel around, for most everyone was armed. Some looked nervous and they kept their hands hovering close to the weapon. Others had swords casually at their side seeming to dare anyone to come near. Looking up and down the street he saw occasional men that seemed to be standing as guards watching everyone who passed.

Reimus
Recently in Argolis there has been a growing rabble of generally young people walking around the city carrying weapons and drawing them if anyone came near. The number grew every day. Of course this led to rumors of some sort of coop taking over the government. Others thought it was kids trying to make themselves feel power, but it was talked about- so whether it was important or now it wasn't secret as many coops are. That morning they had gone around and talked to people, telling them of a large meeting at the outskirts of the town. There had been a few scuffles, with people freaking when surrounded by these armed men, but now it seemed that everyone in the city was going to this meeting. Quite soon a group came over to Reimus and their self-appointed leader (you could see others wanted to talk) spoke "have you heard?" He looked Reimus up and down noting the staff.

Crey
(see situation above)
(A man also accosts you in the same way)

Kato
Kato's attention was dragged away from whatever he was doing as he heard the sound of marching in the distance. Looking out he saw hundreds of hoplites marching towards the village he lives (for the moment in). Very soon yelling began and people began to organize rapidly. About 300 feet away from the city the force stopped and 20 men walked forward towards the city. The leader of the village called out 20 men to come with him to meet what he supposed to be invaders. Names were yelled and among the voices, either from the leader or someone near him he heard his name.

Looks at the man who walked up to him, "NO actually I just got into town. Whats going on here anyway?"

[Shadow Bahamut]

Kato
"What's going on?" Kato wondered as he walked over to the Leader. He was a little annoyed because it disturbed him from his afternoon peace. Kato had just finished forging a batch of swords for the military, he was supposed waiting for the collectioner to pick them up.

"Sir!" Kato reported to the Leader.

[raskerino]

Crey
"There's a meeting going on outside the village" say one, he quickly interrupted by another "yeah and everyone will go." They stand there for a second before one speaks quietly "aren't we supposed to say somethi-" once again someone interrupts "And it's about the great possibilities of leadership in Argolis." The groups gives you directions for where the meeting will take place and trundle off- what a great group.

Kato
Kamchi (the leader) turned to Kato and spoke "you, your some kind of warrior right?" Then he turned to the group at large "I don't know what going on but I'd like some warriors there while we go talk to their delegation." Other bureacrats began walking around talking to various people asking set of questions that clearly had no value and were purely for the sake of writing something, anything. Eventually he rounded up a group with a few fighters, and mostly officials of the town. Before heading off he gives the group instructions "Alright, unless your an official don't talk, unless it's something really important to say and it's not inflamatory." The high priest tries to grab a little power in the meeting "They won't attack us if our hearts our true... and we find a way to show them that it'd be more valuable to not attack this village the to attack it." Finally one last person asked a question before heading to meet the delegation "Is everyone hear coming or is anyone not interested?"
(I know this doesn't give you much to say, I'm setting a scene and if you want you can give thoughts on the situation/people involved or something)

[Heero Yuy NWZC]

*Shiromoto*

Shiro walks around casually and looks through all the ppl. They all seem paranoid for some reason. He suspects that it has something to do with a battle or some problem between their city and another. As he approaches a guard Shiromoto asks, "Is there some trouble that bothers these ppl?"

[NeoCracker]

*Cray*

"Looks like I go to the meating," he thought to himself as he headed there, the whole time pondering what this whole thing was about.

[raskerino]

Seiken-Shokugun seems to have momentarily left us...

In my posts I'm going to write short things about NPCs. They may have importance to the story and they may not, hopefully it will give more of a sense of different situations. Sometimes I will include this and sometimes I won't. I also may sometimes include what's the equivalent of newspaper articles, describing certain situations from a farther back view. These may be biased towards one side or another and may be propagande, but they will give a larger sense of what is occuring.

Shiromoto
The guard looked at Shiromoto like someone who's been up all night and is being payed too little. His posture straightens and he talks in a declarative, slightly pompous voice "The illustrious noble Vointu has seen it in his wisdom to construct a new rule over this Polis of Corinth. If you'd like to join his cause there are many recruiters around, they'll be yelling in such a fashion that it will be blatantly obvious who they are." He goes back to his pose of waking sleep and waves you off.

Crey
When you arrive at the place, you notice that this doesn't look like the kind of place where a discussion is held- more like the place where one charismatic speaker lectures or maybe just argues to a group of hopefully (at least in his eyes) approving people. You also notice that the gangs seem to be hanging around the edges of the area and watching people closely. The mood seems to be an unsure one with lots of people muttering to each other. Soon two brothers (Myro and Tensti) wave you over, they know you slightly. Tensti speaks to you first, he sounds eager to hear what they'll say but also in the mood to gossip "Hey, what do you think's going on?" He says then turns somewhat conspiratorial "I've heard the man's from Athens so perhaps he believes in democracy- pfft..." Myro isn't the type to talk about rumors and he discusses quite different things he's noticed "It seems to be highly military, I've heard that a tyrant has taken over Corinth, though this may not be accurate as you know how quickly scares go up. If that has happened it's definitely not good as the nobles driven out will spread, perhaps taking positions of power here." They both look at you expectant of a response, not noticing they've given you two different subjects to respond to.

Kirz
Location: Argolis (not near any Player Character)
He looked at the assembled crowd, he heard similar organizations were being held as power fell from the Areopagus of Argolis. He took a different attitude towards it. There was a tyrant in Corinth now, he'd drive away the nobles and be left without allies. Many unsuccessful tyrants would fall to the pressures, but recently tyrants would ally with each other becoming much harder to stop. So there was probably some party supporting one of the new leaders. Others would be leaders would copy in the hope that they could make a power grab as well. But none of this was important to Kirz though he took it in quickly. He was a Spartan, true to Sparta as long as they payed him well and therefore highly opposed to a single ruler or tyrant. His job was not to notice such or make guesses, he had been hired to disrupt it as his job was, as an assasin.
