History:
Zidane is originally a Genome from a planet called Terra, where he was an experiment that was given the ability to grow up and properly develop into the “Angel of Death” that Garland desired. However, he was tossed aside to the planet Gaia (by this ‘brother’ Kuja – whom Zidane was declared superior to) when he was four years old and spent most of his life growing up unknown to his true origins. Once arriving in Gaia Zidane was adopted by the Tantalus Troupe’s leader: Baku, who raised the young blonde as an actor and thief.
Twelve years would pass, making Zidane sixteen years old, before Tantalus would be hired by Regent Cid for a mission. The mission, you ask? To kidnap Princess (at the time) Garnet til Alexandros XVII of Alexandria, of course! After a quick chase of ‘cat-and-mouse’, Zidane and crew managed to ‘kidnap’ Garnet (whom was really running away from her kingdom anyway). However, things still didn’t go as planned when Tantalus’ ship – Prima Vista – was struck down and forcing everyone to crash land in Evil Forest.
After a daring escape, with the sacrifice of Blank, the crew managed to escape Evil Forest; their journey would next make them travel through the Ice Cavern. This is where Zidane encounters, and defeats, Black Waltz I and breaks the sleeping spell that was casted upon the group. Once making it out of the cave, Zidane and the crew work on giving Garnet a new alias: Dagger. With this being set, all of them would head for Dali…where they discover a horrifying discovery. Vivi, the black mage in their group, is first kidnapped and later on discovers black mages are ‘manufactured’. Shortly afterward Zidane helps take command of the cargo ship (after ‘accidently’ touching Garnet’s bottom) and everyone finally makes it to Lindblum.
Finally in Lindblum, Zidane would reunite with Freya and both would participate in the Festival of the Hunt. Which, shortly afterward, a fallen Burmecian soldier interrupts the celebration and announces an attack on Burmecia. After awakening from the sleeping weed Garnet places in everyone’s food, Zidane and the rest depart toward Burmecia – thinking the Princess went off into that direction. Struggling through the ruins of the city, Zidane would finally grasp his first glimpse of Kuja. A mysterious man that states (along with the Queen) their next intention to be Cleyra, and Zidane would make haste for that civilization.
Cleyra still falls, however, and Zidane barely escapes with the crew. Which leads them to an Alexandria ship titled Red Rose. There they discover that Garnet was taken hostage and her life was in danger. Without a second thought in mind, Zidane and crew make haste for the Alexandrian castle. After defeating the court Jesters, Thorn and Zorn, Zidane darts off with Garnet to make their escape. However, they soon discover Garnet has lost her Eidolons (Zidane just recently discovers this news) and once more everyone attempts to make it to Lindblum. By the time they make it there, the city is under attack.
Despite this attack, Regent Cid Fabool IX allows the group to travel after Kuja. Eventually the group meets a small girl named Eiko Carol – who joins the group as well as another. After having Eiko help them reach the Iifa Tree, the crew witnesses Kuja taking command over Bahamut and slaughters Garnet’s mother before their eyes. Days before Garnet becoming Queen, even with Zidane still unable to express his emotions for Garnet, Kuja attacks Alexandria. Only to have Garland foil Kuja’s plans to take command of Alexander – who was summoned by Eiko and Garnet to help protect the kingdom.
After the destruction of Alexandria, Garnet goes mute and the others find out about Kuja’s Desert Palace. Once retrieving the Gulug Stone for Kuja, Zidane and crew dart to save Eiko (who was kidnapped by Zorn and Thorn) at Mount Gulug. There they also bring Hilda – Regent Cid’s wife – back to Lindblum before discovering more of Kuja’s plans.
Terra comes next and Zidane discovers his hometown to be Bran Bal. He discovers his past, his sister Mikoto and his ‘brother’ is Kuja, almost loses his purpose of living in the process, and is saved by his friends. Kuja, after kicking Garland to his death, goes on to destroying Terra in his new acquired Trance form. Afterward they return to the Iifa Tree to fight Trance Kuja before facing Necorn.
Once they win, Zidane leaves the party to save Kuja. Afterward, during a play of “I Want to be Your Canary”, Zidane makes a dramatic entrance and reunites with the party.
Weapons:
Mage Masher
Ultima Weapon
Magic:
Zidane has never been raised to perform magic (that wasn’t stage magic for shows). However, I will be listing his abilities.
T R A N C E is summoned by a large surge of emotion. The ability itself causes Zidane’s clothing articles to be replaced by pink fur with coral eyes replacing his typical sky blue.
-- FREE ENERGY
A basic Dyne technique that is physical and allows Zidane to release pent up energy throughout the battle. Each time this move is active, Zidane gets two chances to swoop in and release the said energy in two single-blows.
-- TIDAL FLAME
Another Dyne technique! As if casting fire, Zidane’s Tidal Flame technique allows him to shoot three fireballs at a target. These are straight forward in attack – able to be dodged if timed right – that shoots to four feet before fading off.
-- SCOOP ART
Another Dyne technique! With a kick of his heels, Zidane can release four flame-like strikes. Said strikes are generally ‘straight forward’ to the target (able to be dodged timed correctly) that can reach out to six feet before fading off.[/list]
Summons:
Zidane is incapable of summoning. [/size]
Can't believe my eyes how can you be so blind[/font]
Role Play Sample:
Since I wasn't going to CC - I thought I'd give you Shatterpoint's first Zidane post! ♥
Lindblum was busy as ever in the business district with the never ending wave of figures. Darting around the various forms, while swiping loose gil, a small blonde continue his way through the crowd. Snickering at his success, the thief would shove his rewards into his own pockets. Sure, Zidane was meant to be retrieving something rather important but, hey!, he was allowed to have some fun on the way. Right? Right.
Rounding a corner gave the thief a plain view of his destination: the item shop. Zidane’s smirk grew wide with each stride he took, knowing full well he’d be the first in Tantalus to reach it. Yes all the members took a bet on who could reach the shop first, in order to retrieve some potions to help treat Cinna’s latest injuries. Yet, for once, Baku wasn’t the one to inflict those said wounds on Cinna. In fact the short man, with the love for his hammer, got quite a headshot during their last performance. Apparently he had been caught in the act of stealing, and by which the victim struck him. Struck him with what? Oh, yeah, Cinna had mentioned a rather long, golden, staff. Ouch.
Too bad Blank, Marcus, and the rest of Tantalus began laughing their heads off at Cinna. C’mon! Who would expect someone to get ‘flicked’ with a staff of all things? Sure, Cinna was quite infuriated for awhile at the group but – hey! – they sat down long enough to begin treatments on him. Though Baku wasn’t pleased in the end, at least he was about one last treatment before getting back to his feet. Maybe. For all Zidane knew that flick to the forehead may have caused brain damage. Like Cinna needed less of that…
Shoving the door open the thief entered the shop with grace. The woman whom tended the shop turned to greet him, only to fall into an unimpressed expression. Her light curls hung lose against her sharp cheeks before she spoke. “For the thousandth time, Zidane, I am not going out with you.”
A laugh escaped his lips. ”Aw, too bad, but not why I’m here though.” With an arch of her brow, Zidane spoke up. ”Gotta pick up more potions; that hardhead Cinna ran into someone’s staff the other night.” Once more the shopkeeper looked bewildered, but needless to say she shrugged it off before turning to get the number he wanted. After paying with the stolen currency Zidane turned on his heels and darted off.
Rounding the corner once more, this time in the opposite direction, Zidane nearly wanted to crack someone. Reasoning? There next to the dreaded pickle stand, sitting down and enjoying Gysahl pickles, was Marcus and Blank; Baku standing next to them. The fur on Zidane’s tail bristled at the sight as the gypsy felt a wave of anger through his body. Had they tricked him into doing all the work?! Judging by their expressions while he continued to run by; yes.
Irritated at the sight almost caused Zidane to forget about even completing the mission. Raising his hand above his head, the gypsy almost threw down the bottles containing the green liquid, but stopped in his actions. Lowering his hands he focused on the bottles and knew he couldn’t leave Cinna to suffer longer than what he had too. Falling silent the monkey boy forgot all his anger as he continued, in a faster pace, toward the air cabs.

”Yo! Cinna! I got the stuff you want—“ He instantly came to a grinding halt as his eyes fell on a figure; a feminine figure. She had long, shiny, chocolate brown hair with a soft complexion to boot. As if her petite form wasn’t enough to make Zidane believe she was a pretty girl, she had to turn around. His heart fluttered for a moment, taking in her childlike face with large, warm, chocolate eyes. Zidane stood baffled at her before minutes later his lips curled into a wide smile.
”I didn’t think Boss wanted me to date!” A warm laugh came as Zidane approached the girl. ”Didn’t know he had good tastes with looks either!”
Within an arm length away from her Zidane let his eyes swept her form up and down; the tip of his tail curling with the thought of having fun. ”So, what brings a pretty girl like you to Tantalus?”
At that moment a groan would erupt from the upper floor; with a complaint that Zidane needed to stop his failure at flirting. Zidane’s tail twitched in frustration as he hollered out. ”I’m workin’ here Cinna! She maybe a new member and with you whining like that it’ll scare her away!” Another grumble came and Zidane would shoot a heated glare toward the upper floor. ”Don’t make me come up there!”
Silence before the blonde spoke. ”Alright, pretty, whatcha need?”
