400

Wow. This would be my 400th post in blogspot.

A great deal of my posts are just pure rubbish with no sense in them at all. But y'know what? When i started my blog in 2004 out of sheer brain-numbing boredom, i wouldn't've expected it to last till today.

Happy 400th Post to inkblot? :D

***
Now, let me show you some Espers of FF12. Quite disappointing, due to the absence of the gorgeous ice-queen Shiva (Pah! They transformed her into a freakin' battleship!), but nevertheless interesting. Take time to marvel at the perfectly symmetrical Esper symbols they created, if u hate reading about FF.

Espers were created by the gods, each with a certain purpose but nearly all of them rebelled against the gods and were defeated and subsequently banished.
Belias, the Gigas. Fire based. Espers are summoned during times of peril to aid you in battle, but Belias didn't seem to help much. Belias is a human-cow hybrid, first of the Espers gained, and probably the weakest. After creation of Belias, the gods immediately considered him a mistake. Not receiving his intended role, he challenged the gods and lost! How very sad indeed.
Mateus, the Corrupt. Ice based. This arthropodal creature is what they replaced Shiva with! Grrargh! Anyway Mateus is a male name and is not the blue chick. He is the black fishy scaley thingy attached to her. Mateus was created to rule and protect those who lived in the underworld but the darkness tainted his heart causing him to become evil and corrupt. Grabbing an Ice Goddess (the blue chick, thank god not Shiva), he used her as a living shield and challenged the Gods. He lost and, along with the Goddess, was banished to Hell. Now this is also sad. Poor goddess.
Adrammelech, the Wroth. Grotesque creature. Thunder based. Though he was made by the gods to quell the fiends that raged in the Otherworld, his immense strength and fearsome visage drew the fiends to his side, and turned him against his creators. Adrammelech led a fiendish horde against the Gods but was defeated.
Cuchulainn, the Impure. Reminds me of Quina Qu from FFIX. Created to swallow all the impurities in the world within himself! The world, however, was more filled with impurity and corruption that even thegods dared imagine, and having swallowed it all, the once beautiful Cuchulainnwas transformed into a hideous thing, a deity of filth, and so did he turn against his creators.
Exodus, the Judge-Sal. Tasked with keeping watch over the world, with the authority to judge the value of all things. As he watched, unseen, unknown, his attachment to the world dwindled until it was as nothing. Fitting that he would desire to make the world, too, as nothing. Yet he fell in the war against the gods, and was thwarted, imprisoned in punishment for his heresy.
Shemhazai, the Whisperer. Yet another hybrid of both horse and woman, wielding utter control over the souls that wander the underworld. Though she once served the gods as a guardian, when Ultima announced her rebellion, Shemhazai went to her, whispering of the gods' hidden weaknesses. She then descended upon the land without leave of the gods, and taught men of destruction and evil. For this was she stricken down and bound.
Hashmal, Bringer of Order. Earth elemental. Set by the gods to wield and manipulate the laws of this world, and with holy power lead manking to order. Desiring to bring order to all things, he joined with Ultima in her battle against the gods. He gave his body to the Thousand-Years War, and when his strength was spent, down in the burning inferno he fell.
Chaos, Walker of the Wheel. Chaos was fashioned by the Gods using sacred crystal. Upon entering the world of man, he was enveloped in the turmoil rampant there. Lost, he died and was reborn countless times, a walker of life's wheel, eventually to rage against the gods that had so fated him.
Famfrit, the Darkening Cloud. Famfrit is the only who didn't rage a war against the gods. Created to resemble a darkly-clouded form, he was broken and sealed within a ward-laced armor which is void of light.
Zalera, the Death Seraph. Originally tasked with the judgin of men upon their deaths, his soul was tainted by the curses of those who raged against the heavens, and seizing one of the gods' servants, a shamaness, as a hostage, he rebelled against his creators.Even now, in defeat, he clutches the shamaness to him in his right arm, and with the aid of her death-wail does he summon the soul of darkness to do his bidding. Once again, another innocent victim snatched as hostage.
Zeromus, the Condemner. Taking the form of a colossal crustacean, he honors the law and condemns criminals. He turns his deep, abiding hatred for those who break the law into living darkness, therein to plunge the guilty in fell judgment. Over time, he came to care less for upholding the law and more for condemnation, and so tainted by hate, he sought to condemn the gods themselves to death. This did he earn the title of "The Condemner", and thus did he fall from grace.
Ultima, the High Seraph. Masterpiece of the Gods, tasked with guiding souls to heaven and aiding in their reincarnation. Called the High Seraph for her angelic wings of glimmering gold, yet it was on wings of deepest black that the tainted angel Ultima rose against the gods. Since her fall, her heart is without light, and impossible to know.
Zodiark, Keeper of Precepts. Strongest of the beings created by the gods, they feared his growth, and so kept him a child. So indomitable is his strength that all things are by him twisted and pressed into oblivion. He alone fashions the laws governing all things, and administers punishment in place of the gods. So is he Keeper of Precepts, and his authority is absolute.

So there. All 13 of them. Copied most of their info from the game guide as i have yet to obtain some of them.
