5.03 SIX DEGREES OF FINAL FANTASY

For those of you unfamiliar with the concept of 'Six Degrees of Separation' let's just fill you in: the idea is that anyone can be connected to someone else via a chain of contacts, usually about six links apart. (Some of you might have played the acting version: 'Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon')

So we're going to play around with that idea and have ourselves an FF version! The goal here is to take any FF character and link them to another FF character in several steps. (In the interests of gameplay I'll set 3 as the minimum number of steps inbetween characters.)



You don't have to restrict yourself to using only FF characters for the steps, you can use spells, jobclasses, weapons, personality traits, hair-colours, actors, designers, games, just as long as you can use them to connect the two. Here's a little example:

Hojo ---> Doctor Odine ---> Rinoa Heartily ---> Sorceress Edea ---> Terra Branford ---> Kefka Palazzo ---> Kuja ---> Garland

(Beginning) Professor Hojo is the most notable scientist in his game
(1) Likewise Doctor Odine is the most notable scientist in his game
(2) Rinoa Heartily uses an Odine bracelet (designed by Doctor Odine) in an attempt to suppress the powers of 'the Sorceress' and is taken to see Doctor Odine when she receives Sorceress powers
(3) Rinoa received her powers from Sorceress Edea, a maternal woman blessed with magic powers forced into using her powers for cruelty against her will
(4) Terra Branford was another woman with magic powers who was controlled against her will and had an affinity for raising orphans
(5) Kefka Palazzo controlled Terra Branford for a while in events before FFVI and Dissidia [duodecium]
(6) Kefka also manipulated Kuja by altering his memories in Dissidia [duodecium] after he'd freed Terra from Kefka's mind control
(7) Kuja was created by Garland who ironically considered Kuja defective because his will was too strong to be an effective servant.



With that in mind the goal is to create 3 different chains (though additional chains can be made they won't be rewarded) using any trivial connections you can think of. Be creative and remember: HAVE FUN!


It's 10 points per chain and the max number of chains you can earn points for is 3 so there's 30 points up for grabs!

Deadline: November 26th 11:59 EST (November 27th 4:59AM GMT)
