FF High School AU

[Fynn]

Alrighty, let's generate some head canon here.

Let's imagine characters from all the FFs are characters in a regular high school anime setting. What do you think each character would be like?

I want to see Dr. Cid Bunansa as headmaster. He's pretty sadistic towards the students, but sometimes, when he's in a good mood, he can be reay nice. Rumor has it he talks to himself when he's alone in the office. I dunno, is Venat his secretary, or do you have a better idea? I figure all the other Cods should be somehow related to him. Also, his son Balthier is a senior and quite the troublemaker. Cid blames his girlfriend Fran for having a bad influence on him, when in reality it was her who was drawn to his badboy exterior. (Also, does Fran have bunny ears here?)

Tidus is captain of the school... something team. (Do we keep blitzball, or replace it with another sport?) The team is called the Aurochs, although no one knows what an aurochs is.

We need some of the older characters to be teachers. I don't know why, but I kinda see Strago as the art teacher, with Relm being a prodigy in his class. He encourages her to keep drawing and hopes to make her famous one day.

So what do you guys think? Let's have some fun with this. The more characters we can fit in here, the better. It might be interesting to see characters from different games to interact with each other in this setting. Also, do you guys want to eliminate all fantastic elements altogether, or keep some?

Let our imaginations run wild and maybe later we can write some fanfics based on this

[Pumpkin]

Squall is the emo and Rinoa has the big crush on him and he pretends he doesn't like her but he enjoys having her around.

Cloud is the loner who will only talk to Aeris but Tifa has a crush on him and does sweet things for him to get him to notice her. Tifa meanwhile has a lot of friends and is pretty popular.

Kimahri is the stoic loner character.

Vivi is a little dweeby but is still popular in his own way.

Zidane flirts with all of the ladies.

Garnet is the prom queen/homecoming queen/valedictorian.

Steiner is the hall monitor that nobody takes seriously.

Freya is a female athlete of some sort.

Yuna is the shy quiet girl who gets really good grades.

Lulu is the goth girl.

Wakka also plays sports.

Zell is the athletic kid who eats too many hot dogs.

Selphie....... runs the events committee >.>

[Forsaken Lover]

In a High School AU I think this is more like how Dr. Cid would be.
(SPOILER)

Anyway...my thoughts.

Cloud should be a teacher. He's whopping 21-year-old. He is already halfway to retirement by FF standards. He's the Gym Teacher I reckon but not a very good one. He means well but he just doesn't have that ALRIGHT MAGGOTS gym teacher voice. He is popular among the kids for his laid-back personality but he is affectionately mocked behind his back for saying "let's mosey" when calling people out of the locker room.

Tifa would be Gym Teacher for the girls. She's about the same as Cloud but instead of mocking her for her speech patterns all the girls are jealous of her....yeah.

Classroom rumors abound about what. Mr. Strife and Ms. Lockhart get up to.

Ynna will be an all A-student, 4.0 GPA and whatever else because of the pressure of her parents and big brother Wakk and big sister Lulu. (kindly pressure but pressure nonetheless) However when she's out of school and with her friends Rikku and Paine she gets up to all sorts of mischief.

Rinoa is the Prom Queen and everyone from Tidus to whoever else hits on her but she takes an interest in that sullen loner boy everyone just avoids People think he's in a gang or on drugs or whatever but he's really just not very sociable.

Ashe needs to be a teacher...of what I don't know. History or Politics maybe.

[Fynn]

We can change the ages to fit our vision, so yeah

Ashe can totally be a history teacher. I can see her getting all passionate about past dicators!

Also, can Gilgamesh be a janitor?

Oh, and Kuja is the star of the school theater. He's kind of a bitch to everyone and a real primadonna.

[Fynn]

Oh, and Basch is the strong and silent type that is super popular with the girls and keeps getting love letters but he's unfazed. His twin Noah is incredibly jealous of that, because he gets no such attention despite looking identical.

[Wolf Kanno]

Everytime I hear this topic I always think of this:

[Ayen]

^ I approve of all of that.

[Forsaken Lover]

All the characters in FF1-3 are the ones you wrote "Have a good year" in their Yearbook ie. you don't know or care about them because they have zero personality.

That Clair girl is always causing trouble, picking fights with boys and stuff to prove her womanhood. Also look at her sister wrong and you're liable to get your nose broken.

Hope is pretty cheerful and cool because his mom is alive. Think of it like Shinji - put him in a happier setting and you have a pretty nice kid.

Vanille and Fang are often repudiated for their PDAs with each other.

[Fynn]

Okay, I think we need more teachers. We have Ashe and Strago for now, and maybe Cloud and Tifa, though we still have two options for them.

How about Terra? Though I don't know what she would teach.

Also, we need to use villains and minor characters, too, just to make it more interesting Kefka as a teacher could be interesting, but help me out with this, cause I can't really figure out how that would work. Jessie, Biggs and Wedge could be those two guys and a girl to someone, kinda like Shinjiro had Touji, Kyousuke and that class rep in Eva. Also, Biggs and Wedge have a couple of siblings with the same name (or maybe those are surnames?) who also attend this school.

[blackmage_nuke]

Wakka is the religious guy on the sports team who says a prayer before every game.

Tidus is the student who transfered from another school to play sport for them

[Fynn]

That makes sense. And he'll keep being ignorant and asking people stupid questions, monologuing, etc. I like it.

[Loony BoB]

Tifa is unintentionally popular, despite being a kind soul. She doesn't mind the popularity too much, though, because without it people kept getting her confused with Rinoa and Garnet all the time. Cloud has a crush on Tifa, and she puts up with him but finds him a little awkward. Eventually, she feels similarly about him after he tells her about how he's going to be a hero etc. But all the other kids think Cloud is a dork and Seifer keeps beating up on him for being a "bigger chickenwuss than Zell", which infuriates Zell to no end, causing him to get into scuffles with Seifer and his ever-present friends, Fujin, Kaijin and Fighter. Quistis, rolling her eyes, will try to set order to the place but in the end it's hopeless. Aeris recently joined the school but is seen as a bit of an outsider. Quickly, she becomes very popular amongst girls and guys alike because of her outgoing personality. Tifa isn't sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing. On the one hand, it means she doesn't have to deal with all these people scrutinising her, but on the other hand she feels a bit lonely because all her friends spend a lot of time with Aeris now... not to mention that Aeris seems to similarly treat Cloud really nicely. But not even close to how nice she treats Zack. Headmaster Cid and his absent minded deputy, Galuf, are having trouble with some of the teaching staff. While Cid is a great teacher and works hard with his assistant Mid, for example, others such as Cid can be awful to work with. The latter is constantly getting his assistant Shera to do all the work while he leans back on his chair and smokes a cigarette. Meanwhile P.E. teacher Barret got mad at his team losing to Kimahri's well drilled group and shot all the basketballs to shreds. This indirectly led to some issues at the local train station after star player Sabin was left without much to do. This kind of thing attracts all the wrong kind of attention and at parent-teacher interviews Cecil and Rosa were really worried for the safety of their kids. Meanwhile, Princess Lenna and Princess Faris have been at loggerheads yet again, the sisters both having a slight crush on some well-off boy named Edgar (at least he wasn't perving on Ms. Ashe again). Apparently he has made plays for both of them and the aftermath is not looking good. Lenna has resorted to talking to animals while Faris is dressing up as a guy every day, strapping down her boobs and all that. They called in the school counsellor, White Mage, to talk to them but neither would listen. Faris even insisted that she would only talk to Minwu because girls just don't understand her, or something like that. Minwu, however, has been too busy treating Gau after school chef Quina fed him something that smelt rather awful...

...this could go on for some time.
