This blog setup is not official with Square Enix or in any way connected. This project is about how Final Fantasy X-3 can be from my (Lee A. Funnell) perspective. The plot and ideas are mine. Anything that this project contains is not aimed to offend or insult non fictional related. This is a fictional story but an apology in advance anyway. This is just my explanation for my project at hand and for those who wish to learn more.

Baralai

Otherwise known as: Praetor of New Yevon
Age: 21
Specialty: Multi Black Magic
Secondary ability: Element Switch
Ability to swim: No (however he does compete in Blitzball and Blitzbase because Gippal forces him to)
Auto Abilities: Water, Fire, Thunder, Blizzard
Additional: Black Magic preparation time ½
NOTE: Switching magic element takes up a turn.

Praetor of New Yevon, Baralai is a serious young man whose resolve rests on restoring trust and peace though Spira. However making the people of Spira trust Yevon after Yuna and her guardians fought and vanquished Sin was difficult and fractions such as the Youth League and Machine Fraction. And his rise in becoming praetor of New Yevon remains a dark secret which if the people of Spira knew would throw New Yevon in dire straights. A year ago Shuyin manipulated his mind and he was driven to destroy Spira but thanks to the High Summoner and friends he realised his wrong doings and swore to maintain peace during the Eternal Calm.

As mentioned he is the serious type and would prefer if things went according to plan. But most times situations get out of hand and he cannot act as well when choas isn't overcoming. When this happens he is eager to understand what's going on and will ask if he is unsure about anything with a bit of hesitation at times. He shows a more relaxed self in the comfort of friends and in particular he gets along well with the Gullwings, Nooj and Gippal.

In particualr he acts formally when he is in the pressence of Yuna. He has the greatest respect for Yuna but is also at times afraid of her too. He won't forgive himself if he troubles Yuna and unlike his friends and others he will address her as "High summoner" rather then calling her by her name.

Baralai is a skilled warrior but his experts highly in Black Magic. Although not as powerful as Lulu, Baralai is capable of unleashing multiple Black Magic spells. For example if Baralai casts a Fire spell it will affect all opponents instead of one at a time. Baralai is also able to change the elemental status of magic like Spherimorph. This way if facing electric element opponent’s Baralai can switch his element status to lightning so that damage inflicted by lightning spells heal him. However this makes Baralai slow in battle and whatever magic element he is he will be weak against the opposite element such as Water.

Overdrive
Element Uppercut
Mode: Victim = gauge is replenished when Baralai suffers a status effect due to an opponent’s attack.
Using his spear Baralai sends an opponent flying into the air of which then the opponent is attacked by a strong elemental spell (Water, Fire, Lightning or Ice depending upon Baralai’s elemental characteristic (i.e. Lightning does minimal damage). The opponent then takes further damage by crashing into the ground below. Even if the opponent benefits from the elemental spell the opponent will still suffer a two (2) prone assault from being launched into the air and crash landing.

Special Overdrive
Guardian Angel
Baralai’s Special Overdrive is unique and odd compared to others but essentially very effective and almost ensures victory. Similar to the circumstances in the decisive battle in FFX the party cannot lose because when one is KO’d he or she is brought back by Auto-Life. Essentially it’s the same here only it affects Baralai giving him immortality until the battle is won. Once called upon Baralai will be automatically brought back to life whenever he is KO’d. However the effect doesn’t protect from Petrification or Eject. This Special Overdrive can only be used once per battle. This immortality effect will be lost if Baralai is switched during battle.
