BEGIN RECORDING
[Male 1] "Is this thing on? Shi-" (moment of static) "That's gonna have to work, boss. Go ahead."
[Female 1] (moment of silence) "Okay." (mic rustling) "The Cosmic Whispers here in Wutai, searching for data -"
[Male 2] (from background) "Nothin' for signatures yet."
[Female 1] "We're looking for unique energy signatures relating to the Lifestream, in order to further understand it."
[Male 1] (from background) "And watching out for those ShinRa bastards."
[Female 1] "That too." (moment of silence) "Anyway, the specific data we require may also allow us more insight into the Cetra."
[Female 2] (from background) "Just like you, boss. You're an odd one."
[Female 1] "And I may not be the only one. Current data suggests there could be another out there." (away from mic, from background) "The others should be back by now."
[Male 1] (from background) "Nothin' on the comms for a while now, boss."
[Female 2] (from background) "Want us to take a look?"
[Female 1] (from background) "Just you two. Hurry back, though."
(moment of interference, extended silence)
[Male 2] (from background, staticky) "We've been hit with an EMP! Everything's rebooting."
[Male 3] (from background; on comms, staticky) "Someone report! Now!"
[Female 1] (near mic; on comms, staticky) "Anyone, report?" (silence)
[Male 1] (from background; over comms, staticky) "Yeah, we're here! We got a bunch of ShinRa closing in. Taking on a few bullets!"
[Female 1] (near mic; on comms, staticky) "We're on our way! Stay in cover!"
[Male 3] (from background, staticky) "Let's move!"
(extended interference)

Rules & Notes
General Rules
- General role playing rules apply.
- Avoid godmodding, power playing, metagaming, and anything similar.
- Use common sense.
- Please keep any posts to at least one solid paragraph in length.
Other Notes
- The story begins from the end of the recording in the premise/prologue.
- You're more than welcome to expand upon the world, such as adding areas/regions, cities/towns, NPCs, etc. (All within reason, of course.)
- Please let me know if you have ideas, suggestions, and so on. I'm all ears as far as input.
- Feel free to view/use the FFVII timeline (and/or Wikia) for whatever needs may fit this story.
Character Creation
General Character Creation Guidelines
- Participants may have as many primary characters as they can handle. (And please handle the load they come with.)
- Characters need not be "fighter-types". It is optional. (For example: a character can solely be a political figure, and still affect events.)
- "Fighter-type" or not, be sure they're not overly powerful in their respective abilities. (I'll contact you if I think they are.)
- Original characters are encouraged.
- If you use or tie in a character from the FFVII series, please make sure the information is as accurate as possible.
Basic Character Profile Guidelines
- Name
- Age
- Gender
- Race: Most will be Human. Other races include Red XIII's race, and Cetra. (Both will be limited, but more so with the latter.)
- Appearance & Physique: More detail is better.
- Occupation
- Initial Allegiance: ShinRa, neutral, Cosmic Whispers, etc. (Feel free to add others.)
- Character slots for The Cosmic Whispers will be initially limited, and may open up as the story progresses.
- History & Bio
- Preferred Weaponry
- Initial Materia: No summons or high-level materia.
