Coming from my own idea in the naruto forum

http://z14.invisionfree.com/The_Fanfiction...?showtopic=4792

Where Ramza is an ancestor of the Yamanaka clan and a chroma who comes back as her guardian phantom to teach his descendant the ropes... well what bout a nice story of our FFT hero becoming a Chroma in his time and How he dealt with it well he was on his great adventure of the Zodiac Brave Story. I've had a few cool ideas on this topic...

Chroma powers usually kick in when young so he likely would have received the abilities shortly before he entered the academy. Now there is a few possibilities here...

1. All though generic characters that fight along side you in the game are actually phantoms... for the purposes of the story he could be avoided by his peers and teachers at the academy. Only his good friend Delita willing to go with him so he fights his battles with some of the young spirits that have died in the war with Delita assisting him. so there would be a small crew of OC Phantoms that would be traveling along with him and his few living companions (Agrias, Mustadio, etc)

2. A more challenging and unique approach to this is that some (if not all) of the established characters that join him are in fact a dead. Perhaps Agrias was Killed by Gafgarion on the falls and her failure and sense of Justice causes her to stick around with Ramza as a Phantom. Or maybe Mustadio died hiding the stone and pleaded to Ramza to deliver it deliver it to the Cardinal and save his father.

3. FFT has a fairly high death toll of named characters, with this set up characters have another chance at development and screen time. Teta, worried about her Brother, follows Ramza hoping to get him to talk some sense into him as he drifts further away from his ideals. Maybe Algus wishes for a chance at redemption after being weighted with his sins. Self Righteous Miluda haunting him after her defeat giving the poor boy a headache as she chews him out. Izude wanting to protect his sister from the demon that took over his father. you can see where I'm going with this...

4. Alma could also be a chroma, if could come from the mother's side of the family (IE not Zalbag and Dycedarg's blood relation). Would add some nice twist and possibly make it harder for her to be kidnapped. I'd imagine she could get Izude to make a contract with her. It might also explain why she's a good host for Altima as she so in tune with spirits.

thoughts?

You know, I think a chroma is just a mercenary/troubleshooter of the PB world. Marona was known as the Possessed Chroma because of her powers, so chroma is probably just a profession, while Marona's power over phantoms is probably something unique to her, probably chartreuse (or however you spell it)

really? I haven't really played much from from the bits I saw only herself and her parent were chroma and I was under the impression she got the phantom power from her parents. :huh.: but I could be wrong...

Still the name doesn't change the premise I'm aiming for. Minor detail

Necroing this to point out that Walnut is also a Chroma. Marona and her family, however, were considered to be either possessed by evil spirits or necromancers. Note how the guy on the island in... Chapter Three, was it?, had no issue with hiring her as a Chroma UNTIL Walnut exposed her as the Possessed One. And he had no qualms hiring Walnut either.

Chroma in general are disliked, but those who speak with the dead are especially so.

The difference between Chroma is the spiritual power they have. Walnut's was Psycho Burgundy, the flame of the soul, while Marona's was Chartreuse Gale, the wind of the next world. And Chartreuse Gale was what enabled Marona to Confine and talk to spirits. It's a rare, unusual power that's feared by commonfolk.

Considering that the other mainstay character in a NIS game who can Confine is Zetta, it might be considered a demonic power.

Whether it actually is, or that's just the superstition of a bunch of ignorants, is not my call to make. :rolleyes:

Confine is actually a DIVINE power, which Zetta gained through the Sacred Tome. He had no idea it was doable before, and Pram, who was very knowledgeable due to her role as Oracle, had to explain it to him.

Marona's version is a much weaker, shittier one - she has a time limit before her confined spirits return to incorporeal form - whereas the Sacred Tome can confine souls permanently.

Just clarifying...

You know, Ramza MIGHT want to be a bit careful using his powers if he doesn't want to be declared a heretic by the church.

... Earlier.

They wouldn't even bother branding him a heretic, they'd just execute him on the spot and destroy the body.

From the Church's point of view what he's doing is necromancy, end of story.

In fact, Marona is less than popular among religious types in Phantom Brave too...

Eh ? :huh:

But then how did Zetta manage to Confine his own soul inside of the Sacred Tome ? He still had his original body at the time after all...

That's sort of the funny part. First off, note he thought his body was lost. Secondly, note he called the action he performed 'a chance'. He wasn't SURE it would work.

And third, do remember who it was who set the whole mess up. Ophelia is technically a divine being.

In short: Zetta took a crapshoot to save himself, and got away with it because if he died, it'd have spoiled Ophelia's fun. It wasn't him to begin with, the whole mess was entirely set up by that conniving whore. :rofl:
