Muscle Heads! (election candidates)

Del Snizz's answer was great but there was something missing, now what could it be... Oh yeah:

"Mwahahahahahaha...!"

[Fate Fatale]

I'm... soo.. annoyed...

[Heath]

Snizz runs the table, like usual.

I agree. G'work, Snizz.

[Election Booth]

I personally found Snizz's response to be a bit tedious, but that's just me. I've seen that show before, I guess.

I'm sure some of those people haven't even checked their PMs or don't even come here at all ever. All of them are fair game to have answers made up by me.

Anyway, now that enano has joined the fun here's the Final Fantasy Tactics answer. I'm currently playing this game for the first time so all of these answers are spoilers. They will be for you too. So I'll go ahead and mark everything as such. Except the task. And yes I know I misspelled Beoulve. At least I'm playing the game now.

Write a summary of the Beolve family history. Mention all of the significant members of the family and their contributions to life. Include at least one family member that you ahve completely made up on your own.

(SPOILER)
[size]Misfit (representing the BAotW party):[/size]
(You spelled "Beoulve" wrong, lololol) Beoulve family is a well respected family, producing many leaders for the Hokuten Knights. (Heh heh...)
Let's see, there's this Ramza guy. He's pretty insecure about stuff, I don't think he got enough attention as a child.
Then there's this Alma girl, she came from a
different mother than the second brother. And she does drugs. Seriously.
Annnnnnnd there's Zalbag, (Hahah "Zalbag"), an undefeated warrior and a leader of the Hokuten Knights. He's considered holy. Oh, and "a
savior of Ivalice in Gallione." And probably other stuff.
Dycedarg~ haha, who comes up with these names? Anyways, he's really old. And since he's old, he smells. And that's all you need to know.
Balbanes; Former leader of the Hokuten Knights, and achieved the rank of "Heavenly Knight". Then he died.
Smelly Eleni-- This person has a split personality, kills small children, and eats frogs. While they are alive. They get along well with Alma, maybe 'cause they share drugs together, but I dunno. And that's all that I got.

enano (representing the #eoff party):
Balbanes - "Former leader of the Hokuten Knights, and achieved the rank of 'Heavenly Knight.' While other Knights were being defeated, he produced many victories, even when he was outnumbered. A treaty was reached because of the fear he struck into the hearts of the enemies. Poisoned and killed in the latter parts of the war.

Dycedarg - "One of the troop leader[s] under Prince Larg. Your oldest brother. Following his late father, Balbanes' wishes, gave up his position as the leader of the Hokuten Knights to his younger brother. Became the troop leader for Prince Larg. Assassinated Duke Larg during the attack on Bethal Garrison. Retains power, but is killed in an ambush by Zalbag.

Zalbag - "As a leader of the Hokuten Knights, he is considered a 'Holy Knight.' Your older brother. With many victories in the Fifty Year War, he has been praised by King Denamunda as 'A savior of Ivalice in Gallione. Under the name of Beoulve, there is victory.' Fights you as a servant of Lucavi, but is defeated."

Ramza - "Youngest of the respected Beoulve family. He fights his brothers, finding out that they are engaging a war for their own well-being. Finds out about the greed by the Church of Glabados and about Lucavi using the church. He fights for justice of others."

Alma - "Youngest of four of the Beoulve family. Attends the Aristocratic School in Igros. Your younger sister. With yer cheerful personality, she is well liked by everyone. Spending most of her life in a convent, she hasrecently returned to the Beoulve family. Alma is closer to you, as you are closer in age, than her brothers"

Steve - "The bastard son of Balbanes, during the Lion war he spent his days as a drunken slob. His personality is quite shallow, and he tends to flirt with every girl he meets. He was killed in a pub of Ivalice with a beer in his hand and a grin on his face. Rumor has it his last action was flirting with Agrias."

mschmidtFF (representing the Fluffy Pink party):
The Belouve family history is one filled with lies, secrecy and deceit. Balbanes Belouve, a hero from the 50 year war had 2 wives, neither of which were actually in the story, from which they bore 4 children. From the first they had 2 sons Dycedarg and Zalbag. From his second wife he had a son, Ramza, and a daughter, Alma, who were generally looked down upon from the older brothers. Their family also took in Delita and his sister Teta when their parents died. My creative part: The Belouve grandparents, Leonard and Theresa, are not liked to be talked about. During the 50 year war Leonard was one of the highest ranking Generals but sadly he was shot off his horse by an Archer midway through the war. Many years later, after Ramza was born, Theresa had come out to bring the Ramza and Delita in for dinner. As they ran by they knocked her into the water and she was tragically swept away. This is one of the reasons the older brothers despise their siblings so much. :End creativity. Their family served under Prince Larg. Ramza and Alma are in Garland Magic Academy and they find that their father is dead from mosfungus poisoning. We find that this was Dycedargs doing so he could gain enough power so that he and Zalbag could start another war. Alma and Teta are kidnapped, Alma escapes but Teta is killed by Algus under Zalbags order. Ramza is declared to be a heretic after he kills Cardinal Draclau and also finds the Germonik Scriptures. Vormav had captured Alma when he realizes she is the incarnation of St. Ajora.
Dycedarg kills Larg to gain even higher position while Delita also does away with Goltana. Zalbag realizes Dycedarg killed father so he teams up with Ramza and they attack him. Before he dies the Zodiac stone he received from Rofl and Vormav activates transforming him into a creature. Dycedarg teleports himself and Zalbag away and transforms Zalbag into a zombie like state. Ramza follows them to Murond Holy Place and kills Zalbag by his request. Ramza, having now lost his whole family except Alma who is in serious danger, travels through a portal to the death city in Orbonne Monastery. They confront Vormav and he gives his life to summon St. Ajora who possesses Alma. Alma is set free from her possession when Ajora transforms. They defeat her and the airship they were on explodes and everyone thinks they are dead. Ramza and Alma are later seen by Olan riding chocobos at their grave and are never heard from again.

Skye-chan (representing the Unne Avatar party):
This is a short history of the Beoulve family. Spoilers?

Alma Beoulve
Being the only suitable host body that the Lucavi can use to resurrect St. Ajora, she naturally goes and gets kidnapped and makes Ramza save her.

Balbanes Beoulve
The Beoulves' father. He was an honorable man who fought in the Fifty Year War and had kids with two different women. Then he died.

Dycedarg Beoulve
He did a lot of evil stuff, including poisoning his dad. Then Zalbag and Ramza killed him.

Ramza Beoulve
He's the main character, so he does pretty much everything. Play the game, dorks. >=O

Zalbag Beoulve
The lesser of the two evil brothers. He did some bad stuff, but it was mostly to help Dycedarg. When he found out Dycedarg was evil, he killed him, but not before Dycedarg zombified him first. Then Ramza killed him.

Delita Hyral
(Delita and Teta were adopted by the Beoulves after their parents died, so I think they count as part of the Beoulve family.)

After finding out how the nobles manipulated peasants, he decided to do the manipulating for once. He switched alliances constantly and ended up being the king of Ivalice, thereby stealing Ramza's thunder and being known as the true hero of the Lion War. He married Princess Ovelia, and then he went crazy and stabbed her to death. Ovelia might have stabbed him first, so we don't know if Delita died too. This is one of the great mysteries of the game, next to why doing propositions gives you a "good feeling".

Teta Hyral
She basically just gets herself kidnapped and killed. She's not too important.

And the other family member I have to make up...

Katrina Beoulve
Professor Daravon's English teacher. 'Nuff said.

Beoulve Family History

Old Balbanes is the start of the Beoulve Family History. As a former leader of the Hokuten Knights he achieved the rank of “Heavenly Knight”. He died of a cliched illness. Next in line was Dycedar. He was a troop leader for Prince Larg. He was Ramza’s elder and liked to take adavntage of it. He assinated Price Larg during an an attack on Bethla. His bad Karma resulted in being killed by his younger brothers. Next comes Zalbag, once deemed a Holy Knight, he won many a victory in the Fifty Year War. When Dycedar killed him with the power of Lucavi he was brought back as servant to him. In this form, he attempted to kill Ramza.

The remaining Beoulves are Ramza and Alma. Both had gone to Mudrond Death City. Both were thought to be lost there, but recent sighting have people bewildered about their whereabouts. Alma was a sweet girl of 15. She had spent most of here life in a convent. She was taken as a double for Princess Olivia becaause of her eappearance. Ramza, 16, followed her all the way to Mudrond, where her captives took her. Ramza was a strong boy, and with his friend Delita, he was invincible. His journey began when he met the Death Corps. They led him on a path for justice. He wished to destroy them with all will. When he finds that he is a puppet, he rebels and is claimed a heretic by the church. His main goal is to end the Lion War, but it had errupted into so much more…

[Psychotic]

Misfit's "haha, who comes up with these names?" is a good question. Edmund Beoulve, Frankie Beoulve and Nigel Beoulve are all better...

[mike without a hat]

Nice one NBM, but you kinda forgot one little piece of the question.

[Election Booth]

Time for everyone's favorite game, Final Fantasy XII.

Write a poem describing your hopes for FF12. Minimum 20 lines.

Jack (representing the BAotW party):
HOPES FOR FINAL FANTASY XII

My hopes are neither grand nor small
For this forum at Eyes on Final Fantasy
But are believable and not evangelical
And are not boumd by simplicity

They dictate a well-run chat room
To prempt the coming release
I've seen the deadline, it's coming soon
And I'm sure we want to enjoy it in peace

I don't want to cause desolation here
Nor do I want to create dissolution too
But to be the winning canditate this year
So I can be the best for you

I know all this sounds like empty promises
A internet-friendly politicion like Bush or Blair
But I swear on my mother's life for this
I hope you'll trust your votes with care

For I'm running for this position earnestly
I seriously want to do no wrong
But hey! Lets just have some fun and be happy
And enjoy this place and sing a song

Rye and Psychotic are behind me as well
And I'm sure you've heard of Xander in your day
The Bored Atheists we are and we're wonderful
We were all doing it for Baloki anyway!

I'm the candidate for the Bored Atheists
I feel good about this, as should you too
So please get behind my candidacy, get behind this
So I can enjoy FFXII and EoFF with you

Mirage (representing the #eoff party):

I'm looking forward to XII
Because it will pass the time by
When I have nought better to do
Than play on my ol' PS2
However I need twenty lines
To make this lovely poem legit
According to Election Booth
Four lines will simply not befit
Indeed five four-line verses
Are required to make the cut
Just to allow me to kick
My opponent's poetic butt
For forums and for website
For stats and hats and of course chat
For newbies and oldbies alike
#eoff party is where it's at
So vote for us! For us I say!
Why have it any other way?
For on this year's Election Day
We'll be the one who's here to stay

Mokona (representing the Fluffy Pink party):

I've been waiting...
For a new Final Fantasy game
I'm still waiting...
My hopes are high.
Battles, characters, story...
I want it all.
But Square is changing...
Square-Enix.
Their games are changing too.
But I'm still hoping...
Praying, that FFXII
Will be a good game.
A good Final Fantasy.
But for how long will they make us
wait?
I do not know...
But my hopes are still high,
Even growing higher...
And I'm curious about the new
Battle System.
The random encounters are gone...
Forever?
I do not know...
But I do know one thing,
Final Fantasy
Will always be
The game for me...

~ ARISING FANTASY ~

Through eleven worlds we wandered,
Saving crystals, finding Fayth.
Now, at last, a new realm is unfold.
For the third time, never getting old,
The story of Ivalice shall be told.

Soaring is his dream,
To fly through the skies.
An airship, a sky pirate,
What will become of his dreams?
Vaan he is called,
Some call him girly,
But know him, do they really?
A dark hero, a cheerful hero?
Spiky hair, tailed genome, whiny brat?
But while we can only guess,
Truly, what we are all looking for,
A protagonist never seen before.

And what of the heroine?
Be it Penelo, be it Ashe?
A lass who wants peace,
Or a princess, whose face
Reminds us of Yuna's days?

And what of the villain?
A loyal knight, turning into traitor?
Judge, Lucavi, someone never seen?
But we all wish, please be not,
A man with a long, white hair.

Seven active time battles were fought,
"Repetitive!" many of us clearly thought
Something new, interactive struggles
No random combat, bring back classes
Magic and new Summons shall arise!

Through eleven worlds we wandered,
Dragons arising, planets weeping.
Medieval fantasy, futuristic sci-fi.
For the twelfth time, ever just as bold,
Magic returns, the fantasy will be told.
