EFZ Encounters

This is actually going to be remarkably similar to that 27 EFZ players thing on WoE forums ( http://efz.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=moejoe&action=display&thread=377&page=1 ) except that it will use the theme I came up with a long time ago ( http://enigmatic-cube.blogspot.com/2006/10/possible-random-story-arc-stemming-from.html ). However that was just a short "intro" story paragraph so I'll first explain a bit of the environment.

The general theme as already mentioned is almost something like pokemon with cute girls (Moemon?). Actually, Sekirei covered the theme pretty darn well, except in these cases the girls are chibi-sized (about knee to hip length on average?) because that's how they look like in EFZ. Generally each one has an element, class, and weapon associated with them. There's no real overarching theme to this whole concept except a few things:
-The setting is medieval fantasy
-The girls are summoned, either accidentally or on purpose, to their "owner".
-There are "feral" girls who attack humanity out of hatred (representation of CPUs). They are generally weaker because they have very little concept of strategy and the ownders with their trained girls (...that doesn't sound right) beat them all the time.
-the exception is the Angel class Kanna who doesn't really appear except in dreams. My character tends to have these experiences a lot since Misuzu is pretty closely associated with Kanna. :V
-Owners battle each other in tournaments and random spars for training, of course.
-In a later period there was discovered a sort of "portal" to an alternate dimension that only the girls could enter. The owners could still communicate with their familiar (I think that's a better phrase) and explore the inner world. Apparently the inner world is smaller than the outer world and people from all around the outer world can easily access this portal and engage in spar fights with random people encountered in the world. They can even use their familiars to communicate with them! However, occasionally if the familiar gets too deep into the fight they might lose communication with their owner. (<--- elaborate description of netplay)

I think that's about everything. The following is a record of a travelling alchemist's encounters which relate to these sort of things. Take note that these are his (ie, My) experiences alone and may not include some people that are involved in the world of EFZ. The encounters are in chronological order.

=======
CodeName: tekkenchild
EFZ Character: Mai - Light - Paladin - One-handed Sword
Description: Stubborn and slightly arrogant, yet has a strong sense of virtue. Strengths are in Defense and Distance, using his familiar's powerful weilding of light associated with her sword to keep opponents at bay from afar.

CodeName: Spatula
EFZ Character: Mishio - Heat - Spearman - Spear
Description: Sage/Librarian. Kind-hearted, yet unforgiving in battle. Very aggressive and headstrong with a strong sense in punishment (at least to the alchemist). The familiar controls the temperature of the metal spear through magic and uses to emit sparks of electricity and/or fire when needed.

CodeName: TReusbucks
EFZ Character: Misuzu - Life - Alchemist (like his owner!) - Formless liquid
Description: Myself. From other people's records, tends to be aggressive and a trickster, but extremely clumsy. Tries to charge through and dodge everything through the use of illusionary feathers, but often fails. She's been getting better at it, though...

CodeName: Raven
EFZ Character: Mai - Lightning - Samurai - Katana
Description: Lone warrior. Arrogant and has an outward personality that seems to look down on others, but in reality he wants others to get better, especially in his country. Recently was horrendously defeated at another country which made him lost most of his motivation for fighting. Style tends to be extremely fast and tricky; really hard to pin him down when he's on his aggressive streak, and even harder to keep your defense against him.

CodeName: linalys
EFZ Character: Mio/Mayu - Illusion - Shapeshifter - Varies
Description: Ninja, good friend and accomplice of Raven. Style changes almost in every battle, hence its hard to keep track of his style. One thing seems to be for sure, though: Whenever an opponent thinks his familiar is down, she strikes without warning, in the most unexpected way.

CodeName: FFD
EFZ Character: Misaki - Force - Monk - Fists (used to create powerful forces)
Description: Part of the militia. Extremely eager, really cheerful yet always up for a fight. Really good with combination links, though a bit weaker in defense and offense (as in getting the hit in). Can sometimes blow a fuse, but ALWAYS likes a good spar.

CodeName: Atheist
EFZ Character: Sayuri - Electricity - Magic Knight - Wand
Description: A wizard and childhood friend of TReusbucks. Obtained his familiar a bit after TReusbucks did. Is still trying to develop his skills, but his aggressiveness has become more strong lately, as well as his combination skills. A really happy-go-lucky guy, kind of thinks his friend is "cool!" because of this familiar thing although TReusbucks is really more like "eh really".

CodeName: Akuun
EFZ Character: Mio - Ice - Ninja - Shuiken
Description: Never actually met the owner, however a really nice and trustworthy person. Said to be a wanderer. Although opponent's familiar is small in stature, fights extremely well both defensively and offensively. Although his face was never seen, became a good friend to talk to whenever there was a local portal to go to. A lot of training exchanged between Akuun and TReusbucks.

CodeName: BlitzWing
EFZ Character: Mai - Wind - Knight - One-handed Sword
Description: A nobleman and really amiable person. One that has went to the "holy land" for mostly ambassador purposes, however it is said he is also inevitably getting some training there as well. His skills are very fine-tuned and errs very minimally. Very upstanding person.

CodeName: Leviathean
EFZ Character: Varies - Earth - Pupils - Spirit?
Description: A priest, and one of the first characters that uses multiple characters. Generally raises his familiars like orphaned children. The fighting is said to be necessary to the familiar's growth which is why, even though he's a clergyman, he engages frequently in battle. Thus, his skills are quite high as well. VERY good at defense.

CodeName: Amoirsp
EFZ Character: Akane - Wind - Puppeteer - String
Description: A merchant that happens to also stumble upon a familiar. Although not extremely skilled partly due to his occupation, he's really eager to learn and enjoys discussions on the subject of familiars. Through various training, much under Leviathean through portal battles, he is getting better.

CodeName: Nephi
EFZ Character: Nayuki - Water - Enchanted Warrior (sleep) - Frogs? {OOC: I'm obviously running out of ideas here}
Description: A young yet powerful upcoming owner, still a student at a local school. Uses a local portal to engage in communication and fights with the outside world. Eager one day to meet other people he has encountered from portal battles...

Other people that I've played, but can't really make a profile outside of being a side character (SORRY!! >.< As you can see I'm already losing my sense of creativity with the last entry :V):
db, Mizunashi, nolo, Chipz, Zaido (he was sort of a senpai-type character, in a way), pragany, MayFTW, Dax, VMan, Evospace (VAMPIREEEEEE)
