Character Highlight: FFX via Fate Core

Recently, a poster on Google Plus asked for help with making characters for a Final Fantasy X (Ten) based game using Fate Core.

Having played much too much of this game when it came out, and being a fan of all things Fate in general, I was more than happy to make some suggestions. 

But it also inspired me to make some builds of my own. Presented here are Tidus, Yuna and Rikku from Final Fantasy X via Fate Core. Note that this game allows for two basic Stunts, plus two for Equipment and one for an 'Overdrive', which allows for invoking consequences. Starting Refresh is at 3.

Tidus

Cheer: Tidus wasn’t made team captain for no reason. Tidus may give up his action to grant +1 to the next action of any and all teammates in earshot.
