Character Name: Zidane Tribal Series: Final Fantasy IX Timeline: post original game & post Dissidia. Canon Resource Links:here!
Personality:
In the beginning, Zidane’s shown as a pretty carefree and relaxed guy. Not much usually gets to him that easily – and when he does get upset, it’s something big. He’s pretty tolerable of other people and situations to an extent, and when they do get to be too much, he won’t hesitate to speak up about them. While he is still a carefree guy in the end to an extent – there’s more determination there than anything.
He’s also pretty outgoing – he’ll talk to most anyone. He’s a friendly and playful person, especially if you’re female. Why, do you ask? Well, he’s got a huge flirty streak in him. He flirts with girls throughout the game, until he’s (slightly) tamed by Dagger. When done under her supervision, she gets angry, so he learned not to do it very quickly. That doesn’t mean to say he still doesn’t do it – it’s just not as often as it was.
But even though there’s all that, he’s very attached to Garnet. He’s overprotective of her, and will go more out of her way to protect her than with most of the others. Zidane’s very attached to her in a way that when she became Queen of Alexandria, he sat himself in a bar and wouldn’t move.
"I had a whole speech ready for her. But it would've been a lie! How could I lie to her!? 'Good luck, Dagger! I'll be watching you from afar.' 'Come find me if you need someone to talk to.' It's a big fat lie! That's not how I feel at all! That's not how I feel...at all."
Saying that, he’s a very loyal person as well. He’ll protect his friends at all costs, and he’ll try his best to make sure that nothing will happen to them. Zidane gets upset and angry when things like that get out of control, and people get hurt. Not just his friends – others too. If something happened that he thinks he could have stopped, he practically beats himself up over it. Take Cleyra for instance: he expressed frustration that he couldn’t stop the eidolon from completely destroying the place.
On a lighter note, he finds joy in teasing other people – especially Steiner (fondly nicknamed as Rusty). It was a pastime he had going there, one where it usually ended up with Steiner yelling. It amused Zidane to no end however, and never really gave up on it. He’s also got a sarcastic streak that flares up every now and then along with his teasing, making him quite the insufferable boy sometimes.
Probably from being raised by Baku, it gave Zidane the ability to think on his feet. If he doesn’t have a plan already in his head, it doesn’t take him long to come up with at least something to go on. If not, then hey – go along with it and see what happens, right? He’s resourceful, and can use lots of things to his advantage if he needs to.
Though whether he likes it or not, he depends on his friends more than he knows. As much as they depend on him, he depends on them as well. When he found out about what he really was, he grew depressed - a depression only his friends could talk him out of.
Strengths/Weaknesses:
+ Zidane is a people person. He can get along with just about anybody, unless his friends are messed with. He has a big heart and would do anything for his friends, even for people he doesn't know.
+ Also, he's very fast. He can also do simple jumps with ease; he can do multiple flips in the air and still land on his feet.
+ Usually he's very optimistic, and can help others feel the same way.
- He's very dependent on Dagger. If something happens to her, he gets extremely upset.
- He can get distracted by pretty girls, since he does have that tendency to flirt.
- He's got a cocky attitude, and may overdo things and mess up.

Samples First Person Sample:
[The feed turns on to show a…really confused blond. It’s not like being in a weird place is that weird for him – but just unexpected after everything that had happened.]
…So I guess I have a few questions.
One, where am I? [He looks around, as if waiting for things to make sense. But it doesn’t.] Two, what’s this thing? [And the feed points down to a grinning Aipom, the mischievous face taking up most of the screen.]
Three…where did my tail go?
[It was kind of disorienting, moving without a tail.]
I mean, it doesn’t seem that bad. But uh…this isn’t really what I was expecting either. Anyway, If anyone has any answers, I’d be happy to hear them. If I got this communication thing, that means there’s gotta be someone out there, right?
[Zidane shakes his head after a moment, and smiles into the feed.]
Thanks in advance!
Third Person Sample:
Zidane turned the feed off the communicator, and turned to the Aipom, smirking. “So I guess we gotta wait for someone to answer us, right?” He asked, sitting on the ground and placing his hands behind him. Yeah, it still felt very weird to look and feel normal, so he was just going to sit and wait. Hey, he was in the middle of the way in the grass, but…there wasn’t anyone else around that he could see. So it was okay, right?
The Aipom said nothing (he wasn’t surprised – these animals were probably just like everything else), and started investigating the area as well. Zidane watched for a few minutes, then flopped on his back, staring at the communicator before the sky again.
So much for being together with Dagger again, right? No. No, he wasn’t going to think about this. Not until he knew for sure what was going on. Besides, she might be here for all he knew. Right?
Right?
His mind continued to wander, and suddenly, he started to feel a little bit of a tug in the hand that held the communicator. He moved his hand slightly, and the tugging stopped, but only for a minute. It got worse, and suddenly—the communicator was gone out of his hands. Zidane bolted up, and got to his feet quickly, to see—
--The Aipom was grinning up at him, communicator in hand. As Zidane reached down to grab it, the Pokémon yanked it away, with what Zidane could’ve sworn was a snicker. “Hey now…” He said, stalking towards the creature. The monkey just kept bouncing, dodging Zidane as he tried and failed to get the stolen item back from him. There was a few minutes of this before the Aipom turned and ran, still making that mischievous noise.
“Oh no you don’t!” Zidane cried, running after it. Great. First showing up here, and now the thing he was stuck with took his only chance at talking to others?
