Any criticism regarding my playing of Cid would be greatly appreciated! Any bad things, any good things, things that can brushed up on, etc. Just lay it on me.

Why does Cid of all my characters get a CR chart? Because it will be short and simple.


✔ - Approval rating; higher it is the better. Up to 5, default is 2-3.
✗ - Disapproval rating; higher the not better. Up to 5.
☠ - Pissed off rating; ...You don't want this. Or multiple of these.
Icons chosen may or may not reflect how Cid sees your character. Or I just chose a random one. THINK WHAT YOU WILL~

[this would be a certain grumpy old pilot standing in front of several things. one, his lovely giant airship, The Dreamcatcher. this was standing outside of its equally giant hangar, but she's not alone. oh no. Cid wasn't just sitting up there doing now. some may recognize the Skyrunners (hover motorcycles basically), only they're more pimped out and look a lot sturdier and sleeker than their prototypes. they're also hovering off the ground, ready to roll. the hangar itself has also developed so that it looks more like an airstrip, complete with a runway. one can only guess that he was working on building smaller planes back inside there.]

All right, listen up. I got aircraft all ready and tested to go. [jerks his thumb to said machines.] Problem is, I don't got any pilots or riders to help crew this damn fleet. Last time I let one of those locals on it, they almost went flyin' off the goddamn mountain so *&^% if I trust 'em on a real trip.

I don't know about you people, but I'm ready to head off this stupid bubble. Still don't know what the hell's out there, but I ain't gonna sit around another year waitin' for somethin' ta just fall on our laps. If that's what you want, fine. Don't need you.

If you think you can handle one of these babies or help work the bridge on The Dreamcatcher, prove it. I'd prefer people who have experience, but I got slim pickin's here. So if you're a fast learner, better prove it or yer off.

Gonna say this once: I don't want any whinin' crybabies. If you can't handle the heat, tough *&^#. I ain't gonna be like your mama and hold yer hand. And this ain't no joyride or cruise ship, either, so don't even ask.

[sec, gotta take a smoke.]

There ain't no set departure date, but the sooner I get folks on this, the sooner we can see what the @*&^ is out there. Probably'll be a week round trip if she holds up.

[and another, as if to give him a moment to make sure he's said everything. which he pretty much has so—]

Got it? Good.

[and disconnect.]

[muttering under his breath something like "Can't believe I gotta do this" or something like that. anyway, those who happen to see this broadcast will have a grand view of a rather grumpy Cid what else is new standing in what looks to be a giant warehouse. there's some mechanic noise in the background, but for the most part whatever he says can be heard clearly.

behind Cid, one may notice four motorcycle-like vehicles. however, there will be something rather distinctive about them: 1) they have now wheels, and 2) they're hovering off the ground. ladies and gents of Somarium, Cid brings you the new line of transportation technology: hovercycles! hover motorcycles! ...something like that, they have an official name.]

Since I can't have Kara do all the work, and I gotta make sure everythin's workin' from the ground, I'll take whoever the hell wants to try one of these babies. They're called SkyRunners, and if ya break it, expect a spear shoved up yer ass, so better know what yer doin'.

While I'm at it, since my crew's been cut by over half [mutters something about stupid Somarium and disappearances and lousy dummy crews (referencing the NPCs)] if anyone knows jack about anything mechanic, especially anythin' about flyin', talk ta me. I got an airship that's almost finished but it ain't gonna run on its own.

[have a brief view of that something that was poking in view before. that would be a very, very large still unfinished airship. The outside frame is completed, and cranes and scaffolding are all over the place, but it's obvious that while almost complete, it's still a work in progress. just wait until the test flight.]

She's a beaut' ain't she? S'called The Dreamcatcher. Ain't as great as the Shera, but it'll do. I'm guessin' we can get this done within the next month, but wouldn't mind some extra hands on deck. Still don't know if this thing can fly, but we got some good small-scale test runs.

[ooc: those unfamiliar with airships of the Final Fantasy brand, the one he has is a much smaller version of the Shera, and probably looks more like a hybrid with the Highwind and yes he totally has that chick somewhere painted on/in there. it just wouldn't be right with out it. it's still about as big as a standard plane, possibly slightly bigger. he had limited tools to work with okay >_> but he's been at this for pretty much his whole almost-year stay in Somarium.

anyone's free to respond o/ anyone want to actually design either of these things?]

If I'm right, judgin' from the past few months we should be seein' the end of this month's influx of newcomers.

To spare me and the rest of us from the constant whinin', shut up, sit down, and listen up!

The thing I'm talkin' through right now? It's called a damn Dreamberry and if ya never heard of a phone, tough *$&#. If ya have, congratulations, ya got yerself a new one. Ya can't eat it, ya can't lose it, and though ya can break it, it'll fix itself within 24 hours.

Ya use it to talk ta people so don't do anythin' stupid with it or shout inta the damn thing, we can hear ya just fine.

Oh another thing. Yer in Somarium, some kinna freakin' goddamn dream world, and this thing can show yer dreams. Get used to it.

If ya got any other questions, ask someone else. I got a plane ta work on.

[to those who are new, his swearing gets censored out so it turns into bleeps and *&^@ symbols. but yeah. Dreamberry 101 taught by Cid Highwind. welcome aboard.]

[no dream effects aren't you lucky]

( i hate you cloud. and i hate *&^%$#@ valentine's. )

[wait for it--]

GOD DAMN &^%$@# &!@*^!&@ *!@^# &#* WORLD *&#@^&!@# [and more expletives. this would be him throwing his Dreamberry against a wall. as if they weren't broken enough already :|]

[there's the sound of mild swearing before his face shows up]

All right I want answers and I want 'em now. Who the #@*&^$!* hell took me from my goddamn airship and dumped in this god forsaken snow field without a goddamn #@*&^$!* jacket?!

If you did anythin' to the Shera I'm gonna #*@(*&#*@& @*(!*&$!@&^* your ass and @#*#&!!@*#&$^% @*&^#*$!@*&--[and more swearing. use imagination]

[note: the #@$^ symbols indicate he's swearing like a mofo 8D BUT because of a Dreamberry glitch it all just comes out as censored bleeps. Have fun with that 8D]
