He wears green cargo pants with a black storage pack hanging from a black belt over his left leg, and green boots. His l'Cie brand is on his left wrist, covered by a yellow wristband. He wears light gray pants, black boots, and has black and red storage packs along the left shoulder and waist of his coat. Hope keeps his boomerang. In Final Fantasy XIII - Episode i- , Hope says he runs from his problems, specifically things he can't change. His speech is normally reserved but he has outbursts when his emotions get the best of him. His naivety makes him quick to blame others for his misfortunes, and he is easily affected by harsh words and rash actions, especially when they involve personal subjects. Hope has little to no battle experience and fears confrontation, and thus tries to flee from a fight when he has the chance. Under her tutelage he matures into an efficient fighter and confident individual in control of his emotions. Hope becomes willing to throw himself into harm's way for the sake of others, show his sense of humor, and comfort his friends. Hope advises his companions and remains positive in dire situations, ultimately living up to his namesake. His personality is still that of an adult, though his emotions have been sapped, distancing him from the woes of the world below. He has become emotionally disconnected from his memories, remembering past events as though he wasn't there. He still trusts and cares about Lightning, supporting her at all times and promising to be on her side no matter what decisions she makes. You still believe in that kind of stuff? That's for little kids.—Hope to Nora. Hope and his mother Nora are on a ten day vacation in the seaside town of Bodhum to see the annual fireworks show. His father, Bartholomew, is due to join them, but calls at the last minute to cancel much to Hope's relief. On the sixth day, they visit Euride Gorge, but with the heavy security and buzz still circulating about the incident four days prior, they return to Bodhum. He is disappointed his mother wished for his father to be with them next year, saying they are better off without him. Unbeknownst to them, PSICOM discovers the Pulse fal'Cie. Anima within the Bodhum Vestige that night. Fal'Cie are great mechanical deities that govern the world, but the ones from the lowerworld are considered enemies of Cocoon, the floating world in which people live. At the train station a frantic Nora begs with PSICOM that Hope be allowed to return home, but her pleas fall on deaf ears and they are forced to spend the night in the barricaded town. Description: Battlefield 2 - Desert Conflict Mod v0.24 The Sandstorm has returned! The long anticipated Desert Conflict Mod for BF2 brings the classic feel. By LOU WILIN STAFF WRITER Hundreds of job seekers filled the lobby and sundry rooms of McLane Co. The Battle of Five Forks was fought on April 1, 1865, southwest of Petersburg, Virginia, around the road junction of Five Forks, Dinwiddie County, Virginia, during. Operation Barbarossa (German: Unternehmen Barbarossa) was the code name for Nazi Germany's World War II invasion of the Soviet Union, which began on 22 June 1941. The following day, as they wait in line for the Purge train, Hope and Nora meet a girl named Vanille and board the train with her. What happens when your actions end up ruining someone's life? How do you pay for what you've done?—Hope to Snow. When the Purge train enters the Hanging Edge it is taken over by Lightning, a former Guardian Corps soldier, and her ally of circumstance, Sazh Katzroy. Hope, Nora, Vanille, and the rest of the Purgees are rescued by the resistance group NORA and their leader, Snow Villiers, who wish to stop the Purge. Some Purgees choose to fight alongside them, including Nora. From afar, Vanille and Hope watch the bridge with Nora and the other volunteers destroyed in an army attack, and Nora fall to her death after saving Snow's life. Hope blames Snow for his mother's death and so Vanille encourages him to approach Snow, but Hope hesitates long enough for Snow to leave for the Pulse Vestige that PSICOM has transported to the Hanging Edge. They crash- land within the Vestige and are ambushed by a group of Cie'th: mindless monsters that l'Cie who fail their Focus become. Snow saves them and explains he is about to save his fianc. L'Cie are servants of the fal'Cie who brand them with their mark and give them a mission to complete, known as a Focus. They meet with Lightning and Sazh and find Serah outside Anima's Throne, who crystallizes with Hope explaining it happens to l'Cie who complete their Focus. The army attacks the Vestige and when Lightning, Sazh and Snow awaken the sleeping fal'Cie, Hope tries to run away, but his path is blocked off. Anima brands everyone in the group a l'Cie and the damaged Vestige destroys the Hanging Edge and falls to Lake Bresha below, crystallizing it on impact. The group finds Serah's crystal form stuck in the crystallized lake and Snow remains to dig her out while the others continue on. Hope tries to tell Snow about Nora, but Snow tells him to hurry or get left behind. In the abandoned ruins at the edge of the lake the party finds an airship. Sazh attempts to pilot it, but it sustains damage from a PSICOM pursuit and crashes in the Vile Peaks. Drawn by Lightning's determination and strength, Hope follows her, seeking to gain battle experience and toughen up. Against Lightning's orders, Hope takes control of a Pulsian Dreadnought, a relic from wars between the two worlds from hundreds of years ago, and clears a path for them. Lightning's patience runs thin as Hope fails to keep up with her and she threatens to abandon him, inadvertently summoning her Eidolon. Odin, who attacks Hope. Lightning saves him and his aid in defeating the Eidolon persuades her to have faith in the boy and help him . Hope reveals his reason for following her: he intends to become strong enough to face Snow and make him pay for his mother's death. Taking Lightning's advice to form a plan, Hope conceives . When Lightning claims the Sanctum killed his mother and not Snow, Hope makes both Snow and the Sanctum his targets. To dissuade Hope, Lightning suggests they see his father and tell him about Nora. When Hope mentions the fal'Cie treat humans like their pets, Lightning realizes they have been fal'Cie pawns since birth, and fighting blindly to make up for doubt and confusion is not the answer. She tells Hope to abandon Operation Nora and talk to his father to find a new reason to keep fighting. Returning to the surface, Lightning and Hope are ambushed by PSICOM general Yaag Rosch and his troops. Snow and his new l'Cie ally Oerba Yun Fang arrive, and Lightning forces Hope to escape with Snow while Fang goes with her. Snow's optimism and obliviousness continue to anger Hope, as he unknowingly insults Nora and the events surrounding her death. Hope asks Snow a series of personal questions to justify his belief for revenge, only to be further aggravated by Snow's answers. After making their way through the Rivera Towers after an encounter with an angry mob, they are attacked by an Ushumgal Subjugator. And she died because of you! Before Hope can kill Snow, a Sanctum airship fires shots behind him, knocking him unconscious and blasting him off the building. Snow catches Hope in midair and shields him from the fall with his body. Snow apologizes for endangering Nora and being unable to save her. He returns Lightning's knife, giving Hope a second chance for revenge, but Hope confesses he knew nothing would bring Nora back and used revenge to cope with her death. The Ushumgal Subjugator returns and knocks Snow out, prompting Hope to fight it alone until Lightning and Fang arrive to help. Hope returns Lightning's knife and ends Operation Nora. After they promise to protect each other, the reunited party heads to the Estheim Residence and meets Bartholomew. Bartholomew forgives Snow as he had fulfilled Nora's dying wish of getting Hope home. PSICOM attacks the house and Snow confronts Yaag Rosch. Under Lightning's orders, Hope ties up his father to make him look like an unwilling accomplice. Rygdea and more of the Cavalry soldiers arrive, and Hope and the others leave with them, boarding the Cavalry's airship the Lindblum. With the Cavalry's help, the party infiltrates the Sanctum's flagship Palamecia upon learning Sazh and Vanille are being held captive onboard. They reunite with the prisoners and face Primarch. Galenth Dysley, who reveals his true form as the fal'Cie Barthandelus, the leader of Cocoon's fal'Cie. Barthandelus claims their Focus is to become the legendary beast Ragnarok and kill the fal'Cie Orphan, the source of Cocoon's power. They are confronted by the Cavalry leader, Cid Raines, who reveals himself a Sanctum l'Cie branded by Barthandelus to help them destroy Cocoon so the mass of expiring souls would open the Door of Souls and summon the Maker—the god said to have created both the fal'Cie and mankind—back to the world. They defeat Raines but he turns to crystal despite going against his Focus, inspiring the party to do the same. After Fang tames her Eidolon, Bahamut, Hope resolves to make his own decisions without influence from the Sanctum or the fal'Cie, and see what Gran Pulse is like for himself. After falling under attack by a wild wyvern, they land and create a base camp in the Vallis Media. The party searches Pulse for days but finds no traces of human life. While gathering food, Hope's brand advances and he falls unconscious. Fearing for his friends' safety, he implores the others to go on without him, but his anguish summons his Eidolon, Alexander. After Hope tames it, the party comes to believe the Eidolons appear to give l'Cie hope, not to end their journey through death. Hope says he will ask for help earlier next time, and decides to continue the journey with the others. A group of Dreadnoughts stops Atomos and saves Hope. The party uses the fal'Cie to travel to the Sulyya Springs and rides a capsule from atop Taejin's Tower to the dilapidated village of Oerba. The party is confronted by Barthandelus, who claims he has appointed a revived Raines as Primarch and tricked the Cavalry into destroying Orphan. Upon Barthandelus's defeat, Orphan is awakened and everyone except Vanille and Fang are transformed into Cie'th.
