Personality:
Zidane has trouble sitting in one place very long. He craves adventure and enjoys the experience that long travels bring. He tends to come off as flirtatious with the ladies and carefree in regards to everyone else. Despite the fact that he’s a thief, he does have an almost noble quality to him. He will try to help any and everyone who’s in trouble- even if that person is an enemy. He has a bit of resentment toward nobles because of the way he was raised but he would still come to their rescue if they were in trouble. Zidane is a bit reckless as he tends to jump in and try to sort things out with plans made up in an instant rather than well thought out strategies.
When he is with the Tantalus gang – his family, he is a bit more crude. Blank and himself are always finding one thing or another to argue about and Zidane isn’t ashamed to use a few choice colorful words when in the man’s presence. Zidane views Blank as a brother however and friendly spats are always part of the brotherly love.
Zidane is quick with a joke and easy with a smile. He encourages others and tries to push them beyond their limits. He enjoys trying to get on a date and seems overconfident in his abilities to ‘snag’ a lady. It is a farce because Zidane has never gone further than casual dating in a relationship. He plays off as being experienced but he’s naïve in certain aspects of a relationship. He doesn’t doubt that Blank would tease him relentlessly if he knew the truth.
Although Zidane may appear carefree and happy, he does tend to hide the fact that he’s lonely most of the time. Back before he knew what he was he always felt alone in the world and longed to know if there were others in Gaia like him and if he had a birthplace. He didn’t feel too grand when he finally found the truth about his existence but he learned to accept that fact and move on with his life after the defeat of Kuja. Now that he is separated from everyone he knew in his world and into a whole new world, he is beginning to feel that loneliness bubble up inside once more. He desires companionship in the form of a familiar face but on the plus side he has a whole new world full of adventuring awaiting him.
History:
Zidane is a Genome created in Terra to be an Angel of Death. He was designed by Garland to kill people on Gaia so that their souls could be transferred to Terra; however, when Zidane was first created, Kuja, in a fit of rage over Zidane’s creation, brought him to Gaia as a child and left him there to die. Fortunately Zidane was found and brought to an orphanage in Lindblum where Baku, a leader of Tantalus, adopted and raised him as his own. Zidane was a handful of a child, hyperactive, and always causing mischief. He was quick devil to boot but perfect for thieves. Zidane studied acting growing up as Tantalus was a group known to put on extravagant plays. He may not have much when it comes to actual booksmarts but he could recite whole plays that the gang had put on.
Around the age of fifteen, Zidane left Tantalus for a year to find out where he had come from. His only clue to his origins was a blue light that he recalled in a distant memory. He had assumed that it had something to do with the ocean- perhaps a distant land on another continent. Sadly, after a year of traveling with no luck and no further clues, he was forced to return to the hideout of Tantalus where Baku beat him within an inch of his life for having run off. A month later, Zidane and the band of miscreants headed to the land of Alexandria to put on Lord Avon’s ‘I Want To Be Your Canary’ for Princess Garnet’s sixteenth birthday. The play had been a farce designed to distract the kingdom from their true motive- to kidnap the Princess of Alexandria.
They succeeded in kidnapping a willing princess but at the cost of the Theatre Ship that they had sailed in on. In Evil Forest, Zidane was forced to leave the gang once again in an effort to save Princess Garnet with the black Mage, Vivi, and the Captain of the Pluto Knights, Steiner. After the rescue the three made their way to the kingdom of Lindblum where Garnet got to meet with her Uncle Cid (who had been turned into an oglop by his wife at the time). They learned that Cid had been the one who ordered Baku to kidnap the princess in order to bring her safely to the kingdom. The queen of Alexandria had been up to no good and plotting for war and Cid wished to protect his niece.
Soon after the first act of war occurred and Burmecia laid in siege. Zidane, Vivi, and Freya made their way to the Burmecia, thinking that Princess Garnet had gone on ahead to the kingdom while she knocked them out with some sleeping weed. It was in Burmecia that Zidane first encounter Kuja; after being defeated by General Beatrix. The three traveled to Cleyra where they unsuccessfully defended it from an attack by Alexandria. The entire tree had been destroyed and thousands of Freya’s people were killed. Zidane and the gang had escaped Cleyra before its destruction by slipping onto the Brahne’s airship, the Red Rose. They learned of Garnet’s danger and capture in Alexandria and they quickly made their way there.
Zidane had been fortunate enough to reach Garnet before the Queen of Alexandria could kill her and he quickly brought her back to Lindblum where they witnessed the kingdom’s defeat through the use of Garnet’s summon Atamos that the Queen now controlled. The settled to move onto another continent where they started their journey to seek out the man Kuja in order to stop his manipulation of the queen and hopefully stop the queen’s conquest.
In the Outer Continent, they all encounter the Black Mage Village where they stay awhile for Vivi. While there, Zidane tells Garnet a story about what little of his past and origins that he knows. After they leave the village, they make their way across the continent in an effort to reach the Lifa Tree, where they heard was a possible place that Kuja hides. Along the way, Zidane and Garnet go through a marriage ceremony in order to pass through a valley (although Garnet seemed to not think it counted as a real marriage, Zidane felt it was much to Steiner’s despair later on). When they arrive at the tree they witness Kuja and Brahne fighting each other. When Queen Brahne summons Bahamut it turns against the queen and destroys her own fleet and kills her.
Garnet becomes the queen of Alexandria and Zidane is no longer to freely be with her. He begin to miss her and realize how much she actually means to him. When Alexandria is attacked, he recklessly moves on ahead of the gang in order to save both Eiko and Garnet. He managed to arrive just in time and saved both summoners from falling to their deaths. Zidane had actually been caught in an explosion and flung away from the two after his initial rescue and had to spend time at the inn recovering after Alexandria’s destruction.
Zidane and the gang continue their pursuit of Kuja but eventually get captured by the man. Zidane is forced to make an errand in exchange for his friend’s safety. He completes the task despite Kuja not keeping his word when he tried to kill his friends anyway. Reunited, the gang chases Kuja to Mount Gulug; he gets away but they managed to find and rescue Cid’s wife Hilda. They learn of Kuja’s link to Terra and head to Ipsen’s Castle to open up a portal to the world of Terra.
Terra, as it turns out, had been exactly what Zidane had been searching for his entire life. Home. His origins. Where he’s from and where more people like him existed; however, it certainly was not what he had been hoping for. The ‘Genomes’ as he soon learned that’s what he is, are just mindless vessels that are created to be nothing more than controlled. They’re puppets. Sometimes, it’s better off not knowing, and Zidane feels that it was the case this time around. He falls into depression and disconnects with his friends. He finds Garland on his own and learns the truth about what he is. An Angel of Death that was designed to destroy Gaia. Kuja was his older brother, although only in the sense that he had been the first Angel of Death that Garland deemed imperfect.
Garland placed a spell on Zidane to put him to sleep and he was transferred to another location. When Zidane came to, he started making his long lonely way back toward Garland. His friends tried to help him one by one but he continued to shove them off to the side; feeling as though they were no longer important. Why should he have friends when he was nothing more than a mindless puppet? It was Garnet who pulled him out of his funk and he quickly apologized to his comrades before they made their ascent to Garland. They fought and almost defeated Garland but Kuja appeared and delivered the final blow to him.
Kuja then went into a trance and defeated Zidane and his comrades before announcing himself as Ruler of Terra and Gaia. Garland’s spirit then informed Kuja that his time was limited and that he would cease to exist soon. Infuriated, Kuja destroyed Terra while Zidane and his comrades escaped to Gaia on the Invincible. The world was covered in thick Mist and the gang had to go to the Lifa Tree once more where Kuja waited. They fought through rigorous battles to reach the genome and they defeated him, only to fight the true Angel of Death Necron. They defeated Necron but the world seemed to crumble around them with no hopes of escape. Someone teleported them out of the lifa Tree and into safety.
They were free to move on while the tree crumbled apart; however, Zidane wouldn’t allow Kuja to simply die back there. He said his fair wells to his comrades, watched them fly off in the airship, and then he raced through the tree in order to seek out his older brother. Zidane didn’t have it in him to let anyone die who could be saved. Kuja was no exception; especially since, Zidane was aware that Kuja had been the one to save him and his comrades after the Necron’s defeat.
Zidane had been successful in finding the weakened Kuja and as the Tree started to close in, Zidane dove to shield Kuja’s body from harm. Zidane had never told any of his comrades what happened after that. Some speculated that Kuja had died while others speculated that he could possibly be alive. Zidane never confirmed or denied any claims made and kept his mouth firmly shut on the topic. It took him eight months to make it back to Lindblum where he reunited with Tantalus. It was Zidane’s idea to throw a production of ‘I Want To Be Your Canary’ for Queen Garnet’s eighteenth birthday so that he could return to her with style.
The stage set, the lights were on, and the show went on. The performance was well received to the very end where Zidane revealed himself to Garnet. The two embraced on the stage and the crowd cheered on

RP Sample:
A few minutes later he was in full armor of a Pluto Knight. It didn’t fit too well but Zidane wasn’t about to be picky in the disguise if it meant he could get his ass out of there with his head and tail attached. He moved back over to the unconscious general and grinned down at her, ”Well, it was nice talking to ya cutey but-“ His attention was divided as he caught sight of the decorative hilt of the sword Save the Queen. Being a thief at heart, decorative, pricey, and shiny things always grabbed his attention. He only had to contemplate his next desire for a split second before going through with it. His hands reached down and unclasped the general’s belt that held the sheath of the pretty looking sword. He pulled the belt, sheath, and sword right off of her and checked the blade.
”Well, I guess you were key to a treasure after all.” He said charmingly before stuffing the contents underneath his armor. He highly doubted such a piece would go unrecognized if displayed out in the open. Once it was tucked away he pulled out a piece of paper and a writing utensil.
You’ve just been robbed by the awesome thief Zidane. Finders KEEPERS.
He folded the piece of paper up and for lack of any place better, he tucked between her hand and glove. He’s sure that will put the general in a real twist when she wakes up.
”Okay, commence phase two.” He said to himself before plopping a helmet down on his head. He took a deep breath and then raced out of the door, ”Help! The general!” He shouted and the guards came rushing in. He pointed to the unconscious woman, ”The thief must be hiding in there somewhere. Find him, I’ll go find more people!” He announced. The guards immediately took the order, ’Numbskulls.’ He thought to himself before running off to find ‘help’.
’All in all, it worked out in the end. Point for Zidane. Me – One. General of Alexandria – zero. That’s why you don’t mess with the greatest thief ever.” Now all he had to do was get his ass back onto the Prima Vista. It sounded like the show was over so he didn’t have much time.[/ul]
