Footnotes
Charlie
A secret character from Before Crisis, this man is known as "The Legendary Turk". Originally from Junon, he is a super-first class agent who was once feared on the battlefield as the God of Death. He uses both chain bombs and remote controlled bombs in battle. He becomes a playable character after completing Episode 24 (basically, after beating the game), and can be used for Episode 10 and on. He had no canon name, as was the case with all the Playable Turks, and D_A had not given him a name on her site, so we settle on 'Charlie' as the moniker for this character.
Very little information is available regarding this character, so most everything mentioned in the fic about Charlie's character is from our own interpretation of him.
Valerie
A young woman from Corel who was orphaned in the [Wutai] war, Valerie grew up trying to save other orphans from the suffering she herself had to endure, and sought to join the ranks of the Turks to attain the power to do so. Her weaponry consists of a slew of small throwing knives, and while she carries out her duties as a Turk faithfully and cheerfully, she has a dark somewhat brooding side that believes she goes through her life all alone.
As with Charlie, very little information is available regarding this character, so almost everything mentioned in-fic about her is the interpretation of the authors, and has little specific canon basis. I will be translating scripts of her dialogue one of these days.
Regen in Battle
Certainly Final Fantasy characters endure a lot of crap in their daily lives. Like...seriously. They're all a helluva lot more hardcore than
I am, that's for sure. However we noticed something of a discrepancy in the amount of damage it seemed weaponry would do to a character in battle--namely, Vincent Valentine is shot by Hojo and 'dies', more or less. But when Vincent is in your party, his gun ends up doing significantly less damage to enemies than a lot of other attacks do. How could a gun kill Vincent, but do so little damage in battle? It seemed that there were other factors at work; we settled on the assumption that people going into battle probably had some preparation for the fight. It would be a good practice to cast Regen on oneself and one's party before entering battle, and seeing as how Reno and Rude take multiple hits from Yazoo and Loz over the course of their fight, and don't really start showing much wear for it til the very end of the fight, we felt it was safe to assume that they likely used materia on each other before engaging the Remnants, knowing it would be a hard fight.
