🦋 IC Information


Character Name: Tidus (no last name given)
Age: 17
Canon: Final Fantasy X
Canon Point: His last scene in the game, atop the airship.
Character History: Here
Canon Abilities: Tidus is a trained athlete (he plays Blitzball, which is essentially underwater rugby) and he trained in using a lightweight sword throughout his journey. His non-standard-human abilities include the ability to hold his breath underwater for longer than average (at least 5 minutes at a time) and very minor time magic.

Spell inventory:
Haste: Temporarily doubles movement speed of target (let's say...five minutes)
Slow: Temporarily halves movement speed of target (again, five minutes?)
Cheer: Temporarily enhances strength and stamina of target (five minutes?)

Inventory: Tidus carries his standard blue sword, Brotherhood. It's enchanted with water magic, so a strike with it also hits like a hard wave crashing into a person.

🦋 Personality



Option 2: You may instead choose words from the following list to expand upon as your personality section. Elaborate on what this word means to your character, specifically their thoughts about it. For Canon Characters, you can choose five words. For Original Characters, you will need to choose seven words. Keep the word count to 100-300 per choice.

  • Green


  • Hey, newbie here!

    Green is...bright and beautiful. It represents new experiences, but it's also alien to Tidus. He spent most of his life in a sprawling mega-metropolis fully surrounded by ocean, where natural vegetation was extremely hard to come by. Once he came to Spira, he found himself in a world full of quiet and green. War had wiped out most of civilization's technology, so any familiar-looking tech structures were overgrown with grass and moss. Initially, green just reminded him of how homesick he was. But then he got to know his companions better, and appreciate how much they loved this world and wanted to save it.

    When Tidus sees rolling fields of green now, he's more curious than apprehensive. Green reminds him of riding a giant chocobo through the fields, wind in his hair, or sitting with Yuna on a field at dusk. It's a sign of life in a world that's so full of death. He wishes he could take all the time in the world to explore nature with Yuna, without the time crunch of the pilgrimage, but his tragedy is that he can't. They'll never get to live together in peace.


  • Dead


  • A city dead for a thousand years. The end of Yuna's journey. The last chapter in my story.

    As Auron once told him, Spira is trapped in a spiral of death. When Tidus first arrives, he thinks death is something to be feared and resisted. He's a young and brash hero from a world where nothing's ever too bad for long, he can conquer any obstacle. That big monster in the sky that's killing everyone and keeping the whole world terrorized? They'll knock it out no problem and all the death will stop. Everyone will get their happily ever after, and life will be beautiful.

    Over time, Tidus comes to understand that death isn't such an easy enemy to beat. Every time Sin strikes, the bodies pile up. People are crushed by despair. Through all this, he falls in love with Yuna, a girl who is knowingly marching to her death in order to bring life. She believes her sacrifice will stop all the needless death in the world, at least for a little while. Tidus tries desperately to convince her that her life is worth more than that, that they shouldn't sacrifice her.

    But eventually he comes to understand that either he dies or she does. There is no third option. Because he loves Yuna more than anything, Tidus is the one who sacrifices himself in the end. He accepts death to stop the death of the person he loves...he got to live for a while, and it was beautiful.


  • Friendly


  • That's what friends are for, right?

    In spite of (or perhaps because of) Tidus's lonely upbringing, he is generally an easygoing person. He happily greets most people he encounters. Once he joins Yuna's pilgrimage, he spends a lot of time getting to know Yuna and her other guardians, offering words of encouragement wherever he can. He'll try his best to get Lulu to laugh, encourage Wakka to give blitzball another go, support Kimahri against his bullies, defend Rikku's affinity with machina against Wakka's ignorance, tease Auron, and he especially cares for Yuna.

    Yuna tells Tidus early in the story that she was taught to smile when she was feeling sad. This troubles him deeply, and he spends most of their conversations afterward trying to give her happy thoughts. He doesn't know that Yuna is destined to die, and that causes him grief later...but as she explains, his optimism comforted her with happy memories anyway.

    Tidus grew up with an example of the opposite of friendliness: his father Jecht was so boastful and aggressive that he almost never showed his son affection or encouragement. Part of Tidus's inclination toward kindness is out of spite for his father's way of doing things, for sure, but he's genuinely a very social person and finds his life much easier with friends along for the ride. Making people laugh is genuinely fun...and it makes Yuna smile.


  • Pride


  • Star player of the Zanarkand Abes! Didn't anyone tell you?

    Tidus is a celebrity back in his hometown, and some of that arrogance has stuck with him. He's regularly boastful about his athletic accomplishments, and he's quite hard-headed. He follows his impulses regardless of the consequences, and that can sometimes get himself and his teammates into trouble. "It's the right thing to do", he says, utterly sure of his path forward even when he knows the least about the world. He stomps all over taboos and disregards traditions. This is where Tidus's similarity to his father Jecht shines the most, and he resents that when it's pointed out.

    Not all pride is dangerous, however. When Tidus is invited to join his friend Wakka's failing blitzball team, he encourages the players to have pride in themselves. They can aim for victory, he's sure of it! He urges them to practice hard and really fight, boasting about the team's new prowess to everyone who will listen. Protecting Yuna is also a matter of pride for him: he's always pushing the guardians to do better at protecting Yuna, because their strength is her strength.

    It's important to be proud of who you are, but not so proud that you don't listen to anybody else. He's learned that over the course of his journey.


  • Sin


  • Sin...Sin is my old man.

    In Spira, Sin is the name of the giant creature that terrorizes the people. It strikes seemingly at random to wipe out cities. Sin has that name because the people believe it exists as a punishment for their sins.

    For Tidus, it's personal: the current incarnation of Sin is being driven by his father, Jecht. Jecht didn't choose to become Sin, but he journeyed as a guardian to high summoner Braska ten years ago. Both a summoner and one guardian must sacrifice themselves to defeat Sin, as Jecht did, and the fallen guardian is corrupted and transformed into the next Sin. Jecht has some awareness in his current state, but he can't stop the attacks.

    Tidus's initial reaction is shock and anger. He hates his old man for neglecting and bullying him when he was young, then leaving for ten years. Tidus lashes out at Sin at first, yelling at him for being a coward. But every time Tidus comes into contact with Sin, he understands more and more that his father is trapped. That he'd been immature and had to mature over the pilgrimage like Tidus is doing now. Jecht just wanted to go home to his son. And now they're both stranded and locked in a fight to the death.

    Over time, Tidus slowly accepts their fate. He still puts on a show of bravado, but when he finally helps fight Sin...he knows that they're both going to die. He still hates everything his old man put him through, but maybe they can be at peace now.
