Character
Name: Tidus
Canon: Final Fantasy X
Canon point: Final Fantasy X ending
Age: 17
History: here!
CRAU History: N/A
Personality:
Optimistic: Tidus has an almost unflinchingly sunny outlook. Not only is he overconfident in his own athletic and combat ability to the point of cockiness (something he inherited from his old man), but he earnestly believes in everyone else too. He believes the long-suffering Aurochs team can win a blitzball game against all odds. He believes his new friend Yuna is the best summoner ever and never loses faith that she can defeat Sin. He immediately sees the good in his new friend Rikku and fails to understand the widespread prejudice against her people...though he's also fond of her because she was the first person to feed him when he was hungry, to be fair. But as the horrors of Spira's grim reality set in, and Tidus realizes that the people have grown up always living in fear of a sudden and violent death, his optimism becomes pure determination to save the world, matching Yuna's.
Impulsive: Thinking things through isn't really this guy's strong suit. Tidus wears his heart on his sleeve and follows it through to the end. If he thinks it's something's unfair, you bet he's going to try and change it, long-standing traditions be damned. He shoves right past the priests who tell him he can't go somewhere when he thinks an innocent person is in danger. He'll back the most dangerous plan for barging into a hidden temple if it'll get results the fastest. Even if that gets a fiend on their tails. When he knows what he wants, he goes after it single-mindedly.
Stubborn: Tidus's determination is fed by his stubbornness, and by the end of his journey it becomes a full-fledged hero complex. Tidus refuses to let his comrades give in to their own despair. After the team destroys what they thought was the world's last hope, he refuses to let them give in. He'll think of another way. His commitment to his path is tested the most when the true nature of their new plan to defeat Sin is revealed: in order to free Yuna and his friends from the threat forever, he must sacrifice himself. It hurts, but he accepts it with a somber smile.
Compassionate: At his core, Tidus is a kind and giving person. Part of this is the aforementioned hero complex, but he genuinely hates to see people suffer and tries to make them feel better. He'll go out of his way to rescue a small girl, he'll tell jokes to try to lighten a mood, and when faced with all of the suffering in Spira, he'll go quiet. Slowly, his desire to go home transitions into a desire to see this through to the end. Perhaps he's not as selfless as Yuna, but he does care deeply for his new friends. Especially Yuna. When he learns what will happen to her, he's immediately willing to give up everything to prevent it. And he does, in the end.
Naïve: To be fair, Tidus has been thrown headfirst into a world he knows nothing about, but he lived a fairly sheltered life as a sports star and comes across as clueless at times. His desire to believe the best of most people (except the ones who make eyes at his girl) is a little foolish, and it takes him far longer than it should to clue in to what a summoner's journey ultimately means. He really doesn't want to believe that such grim reality is possible, but it is. And now that he knows, he tries to fight it.
CRAU Personality: N/a
Always Keep In Mind: How Tidus perceives the world and how the world actually is aren't always in alignment. He sometimes has difficulty seeing things from others' perspectives (especially his father's), but he can with time.
A large part of his obnoxious actions in the game stem from his status as the sole sunny outsider in a somber world, so he'd be...a little less sticking out like a sore thumb when he's not the only newcomer.
And he doesn't always monologue, that was a special case...but it sure means he likes to reflect on the past a lot. He'll probably keep a diary here or something.

Questions: Write an IC answer to the following questions:
What do you want to study at Diatu Magicademy?
Hm. Not that I know too much about this magic---it's pretty different from what I'm used to. I'm no music guy, and sundering just sounds dangerous. Does Bala-inlota count?
All right, all right. If I have to pick a branch of magic, then Thaumaturgy sounds like the way to go. Direct, easy to grasp, all that good stuff.
If you knew you could go back to the moment you left, would you leave immediately or continue your studies for a while?
There's not really anything left for me back there, so I guess you're stuck with me!
If your enemy was at Diatu Magicademy, how would you react?
Well, I wouldn't be too surprised, because he keeps finding a way to come back and creep me out no matter how many times I fight him. At least he wouldn't be able to hurt my friends back home anymore...I'd call for help and fight him? Seriously, you do not want that guy around. He's insane.
When is it acceptable to resolve a dispute by force?
When someone's hurting people and they won't listen to reason. I'm not gonna go for my wand first thing, except for that other guy...but I can't just stand by when innocent people are in trouble, you know?
What should the supreme goal of any wizard be?
To use their magic to help people, I think. Not that they should use it for everything, but it'd be nice to find lost pets. Help people warm their house in the winter. That kind of thing.

Powers: Characters in Final Fantasy X can learn an entire spectrum of skills by endgame, but for convenience's sake I'm just gonna stick to the ones that are in Tidus's natural growth area.
-Time manipulation magic: there's a Haste spell that doubles the caster's speed and a Slow spell that halves the target's speed. Duration...let's say three minutes.
-Cheer: Through the power of...uh, optimism, he increases his party's strength by 50%, let's say for three minutes.
-Not an obtainable spell, but Tidus can hold his breath far longer than a normal human, including playing a rough contact sport underwater for up to five minutes at a time.
Items:
-Please give the boy a blitzball. It's a white and blue heavyweight ball of approximately soccer ball size with various round grips on it, designed to be kicked and thrown at high speeds underwater.
-His signature sword, Brotherhood. It's a translucent blue blade with watery bubbles rising from it, and has the ability to do water damage.
