Other: This is probably better suited to the History section, but Gippal is an Al Bhed. Prior to the Eternal Calm, they were the target of racism and ostracism by pretty much the rest of Spira, since they don't follow the teachings of Yevon and continue to use machina (in FFX-2, Gippal and his Faction are calling them machines in order to get past the old stigma.)
Also, they have swirly pupils which should probably be biologically impossible (at least for humans.)
I'm playing him from after FFX-2, but I won't have him spoil the FFX cast here (other than maybe a "wtf, aren't you dead?" to Seymour- already talked to the mun.)
I played him here before, and I'll be using the same journal (likesbigguns), but I'll be resetting him.
For the record, I totally ship him and Rikku. XD it'd be nice if someone would app her...
Additional Links: Final Fantasy Wiki's entry on him. (http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Gippal) Al Bhed translator. (http://www.pixelscapes.com/twoflower/albhed.html) I'm a dork and have it mostly memorized- it's a simple substitution code- but hey, this is probably relevant to your interests.
I admit I lifted a bit of this first-person sample from his old intro, and I'll be using it for his re-intro if I get back in.
First Person (entry type):
Dacdehk, dacdehk. Ec drec drehk fungehk? Cfaad.
Hey there, people! Looks like Shinra's spherenet thing is officially up and running. Now if only he'd explain what he was so excited about. Something about the knowledge of the worlds...
And worldwide, too! Gotta hand it to that kid: even I didn't think it would work. Craacr. E's zamuic uv y meddma get. Frana't ra kad rec pnyehc?
You should know me already, but the name's Gippal- remember it, 'cause I'm a very important man.
P.S. The Machine Faction will be interviewing people for the Bikanel dig again soon. If you're interested, come to Djose Temple.
((OOC: Translations- "Testing, testing. Is this thing working? Sweet." "Sheesh. I'm jealous of a
little kid. Where'd he get his brains?"))
Third Person: (This is set shortly before the events of FFX-2.)
Two years.
Had it seriously been two years already since the final exercise?
Today was the second anniversary of the ill-fated Operation Mi'ihen. Gippal had given the Faction members at Djose permission to go pay their respects if they wanted; most of them had taken him up on the offer. It seemed everyone knew someone who'd been killed in that fiasco. He'd thought about going with them; but going through Mushroom Rock Road would probably mean running into Nooj.
He didn't know if he wanted to deal with the Deathseeker. More likely, Nooj didn't want to deal with him. Even in all the Faction's dealings with the Youth League, Gippal had barely even seen him; it was like he was avoiding him. At any rate, it would all be so awkward, and that was something Gippal could do without.
He could have done without the reminder of two years ago, too, but there was no shortage of ways to distract himself from that, especially with so few people still at HQ to get in the way.
It would be nice if he and his teammates could be reunited sometime. Even Nooj- if only so they could find out why he betrayed them. It wasn't worth dwelling on, though. Time to get to work.
((Ugh, my writing style sucks. I hope I got the idea across, though... In the scene in the Bevelle Underground where the guys do finally meet up again, Gippal tries to stop Baralai and Nooj from arguing. It ends up with the three of them pointing guns at each other, but hey, he tried. XD so yeah, I figured if any of them would want them to be friends again, it'd be him.))
