INTRODUCTION
-------------------
I always want to see one of those faqs that tells you all about the
characters in a particular games, their stats, and best weapons. So i've
decided to start making these since many games DO not have these types
of faqs, and that's exactly what's gonna be in this Guide, character
stats, best weapons, and what masters they should be apprenticed under.
P.S. As you can see my ASCII art skills are non-existent so If anyone
can make me some ASCII for this faq, send it to me. Thanks ENJOY!

BTW..If you want to submit your character's stats, and master
suggestions, send them to me at KrOnOs1234@aol.com, and I'll post them.
Send all the stats(Pow,Int Etc.), their equipment, and their Lvl.

DRAGON GENES
*************
By David Lemasa

*The Dragon Gene System: How it Works*

In a nutshell, your main character (Ryu, or whatever you may have
renamed him) will find, scattered throughout the world, various
crystals called dragon genes. These purple crystals embody the
essence of "The Brood" and may only be obtained by Ryu, so put
him in the lead when you see them.

These become part of your gene inventory and may be either activated
singly or in conjuction with one or two more genes, giving a
possible maximum of 3 genes being spliced.

To access the dragon gene system, Ryu must choose "Accession"
(seems like a misspelling of "ascension") from
list of "ATTACK" abilities under the "Abilities" catagory during
battle. You will then be prompted to choose between "DATA",
"PICK" or "BEST".

"DATA" is a running list of all previous splices that have occured
during battle. "PICK" allows you to choose the particular
splicing you want to try. "BEST" is a list that is completely
tailored by you form the "DATA" list. During battle, simply go
into the "DATA" section, select a prior splicing you found to be
effective, and press the SQUARE button. This will prompt the
"BEST" list, where you may choose an empty slot to store that
particular splicing.

By using "PICK" you may experiment with different genes to see
their outcome, these "picks" will always go to the "DATA" list
where you may choose to save them to the "BEST" list during the
NEXT battle encounter.

Upon selecting a particular splicing duriong battle (whether
though any of the 3 methods listed above), Ryu will begin to
glow with a wave of power. Upon reaching his turn, he will
scream a battle cry and disappear in a flash of purple
lightening. This produces a huge purple dome of lightening,
hiding the entire party. The dome will disappear and Ryu will
have transformed into a particular dragon, replaceing either Ryu
or the entire party depending on the splice. After this change,
Ryu will have anew set of attacks and skills to choose from
in battle.


*DRAGON GENES: INDIVIDUAL DESCRIPTIONS*

The following are the individual dragon genes. Under each I will
include the game description, a physical description, its AP cost
its location, and any miscellaneous notes or hints about that gene.
Individual splicing results are tabulated in the next section of
this FAQ.

Here is a layout of the dragon gene menu:

FLAME FROST THUNDER SHADOW RADIANCE FORCE

DEFENDER ELDRITCH MIRACLE GROSS THORN REVERSE

MUTANT ??? TRANCE FAILURE FUSION INFINITY


*FLAME*

"Grants Flame Property"
AP Cost: 5
Description: Reddish-Orange globe with a flame within.
Location: Ryu automatically receives this after the battle with
the Unicorn Brother (Sunder and ....).
Misc: Adds fire attack skills to the splicing.


*FROST*

"Grants Frost property"
AP Cost: 5
Description: A cool blue globe with a revolving ice shard within.
Location: TBA
Misc: Adds ice/cold attack skills to the splicing.


*THUNDER*

"Grants Electric property"
AP Cost: 5
Description: A drak blue globe with a red outline. A lightening
bolt streaks within.
Location: TBA
Misc: Adds lightening/electric attack skills to the splicing.


*SHADOW*

"Grants Shadow property"
AP Cost: 5
Description: A blackish globe that gleams occaisonally.
Location: Received after defeating the Dragon Zombie after Ryu
reaches adolescence (Duana Mine).
Misc: Adds evil/darkness.poison attack skills to the splicing.


*RADIANCE*

"Grants Radiance property"
AP Cost: 5
Description: An orange globe with a fiery yellow star within.
Location: Also received after battle with Dragon Zombie in Duana Mine
Misc: Adds holy attack skills to the splicing.


*FORCE*

"Grants a powerful form"
AP Cost: 8
Description: A deep blue squared gem with a sword placed
diagonally, hlit at the lower left, bladepointing toward
upper right.
Location: TBA
Misc: The Warrior family of splicings begin here. Add elemental,
include elemental powers. Add ELDRITCH, incluse the
eldritch
powers. Add DEFENDER, add defensive powers.


*DEFENDER*

"Grants a defensive form"
AP Cost: 8
Description: A green squared gem with a grey kite shield within.
Location: TBA
Misc: Any elemental gene, such as flame, etc., may be spliced with
DEFENDER
to produce a "Dragon" form reflective of that elemental PLUS
defensive
powers. This usually means that the skill "Counter" is
added...

Counter, AP 0, "Auto counter attack when in use"

So, for example, DEFENDER + FLAME yields "Dragon" with the following
stats:

"Dragon"
AP Cost: 13
AP Maintenence
Red colored flame dragon with purple horns and green fin.

Dragon Skills:
General Dragon Powers (Dragon Breath, Snap)
FLAME Powers (Flame Breath, Flame Claw); PLUS
"Counter"


*ELDRITCH*

"Grants a magical form"
AP Cost: 8
Description: A violet squared gem with a spiral staff-tip within.
Location: TBA
Misc: Any elemental gene, such as flame, etc., may be spliced with
ELDRITCH
to produce a "Dragon" form reflective of that elemental PLUS
"magical"
powers. Also, the most powerful skill of that particular
elemental will
be added. So, in the case of FLAME, "Inferno" is added to
the list of
Dragon skills.

Below is a listing of all of these additional elemental
skills...

Remember, ELDRITCH + elemental =

(Gen. "Dragon" Skills) + (ELDRITCH skills) + Elemental (incl. most
powerful)

ELDRITCH Powers

Remedy, AP 7, "Cures all status changes"
Restore, AP 12, "Heal heavy wounds on one target"
Vitalize, AP 20, "Heal medium wounds on all targets"

ELDRITCH + FLAME

Inferno, 10 AP, "Flame attack vs all targets"

ELDRITCH + FROST

Blizzard, 10 AP, "Frost attack vs all targets"

ELDRITCH + THUNDER

Myollnir, 10 AP, "Electric attack vs one target"

ELDRITCH + SHADOW

Death, 5 ap, "Destroy one target"

ELDRITCH + RADIANCE

Resurrect, 20 AP, Restore dead member (Tee hee, Viagra anyone???)


Also, in all other splicings (such as Behemoth, Warrior) remember that
the ELDRITCH skills will simply be tacked onto whatever base you have
as a splice. For example, FORCE + ELDRITCH yields "Warrior" with
warrior
base powers AND ELDRITCH powers. However, if an elemental is added,
such
as FLAME, the "third" elemental spell will also be added, i.e.

ELDRITCH + FORCE + FLAME =

ELDRITCH powers + Warrior powers + FLAME powers including Inferno.

This also applies to the Behemoth forms as well.


*MIRACLE*

"Grants a large form"
AP Cost: 16
Description: A deep red diamond-shaped gem with a yellow arrow
pointing
to the right.

third elemental skill). Add DEFENDER, add defensive powers.

elemental
powers are tacked on. For example, THORN + FLAME yields..

"Dragon"

AP Maintenence
Red colored flame dragon with purple horns and green fin.

Dragon Skills:
General Dragon Powers (Dragon Breath, Snap)
Flame Breath, AP 0, "Flame; damage altered by HP"

All elementals follow in kind. So, FROST wuld produce the
"Frost breath" and "Frost Claw" skills. The exeptions to this,
of course, lie with the SHADOW and RADIANCE genes. Here are
skills respective to them..

THORN + SHADOW

Shadow Breath, AP 0, "Death vs all targets"

stick
figures within.
Location:
Misc: When spliced (alone) it yields a dragon/ally combo
creature. Ususally will target a form reflective of
the most powerful ally other than Ryu in the party.
Fusion does not work with Garr, i.e. no "Garr"
hybrid. See below for Hybrid stats.


*INFINITY*

"Unleashes full power of the Brood"
AP Cost: 40
Description: A deep blue globe with switling "comets" within.
Location: Given after defeating the Dragon Elder in
Dragonier.
Misc: Gives extremely powerful "Kaiser" form, which is basically
a golden Ryu. However, spliced alone the Kaiser is
uncontrollable (berserk) and will kill both enemies
and allies. Add "FAILURE" to the splice and he's now
controllable.

within certan splicing types. For example, all "Whelp" forms will share
certain powers, as will all "Dragon and "Behemoth" types. Below is a
listing of the base powers of each type. Please note that when splicing
another gene type, an elemental, perhaps, there are powers that will
be granted on top of the base powers (obviously)...

He then leaves and comes back at Lvl 20
Level 20-30:D'Lonzo, or Meryleep
Level 31-45:Hachio
-This set up will ensure the highest Agiliity in the game for Rei, and
then with Hachio, he can gain some HP, Atk, and Defense while still
gaining some Agility and AP. This will make Rei a fast, well rounded
character

Where:? Location near Cedar Woods
Requirements:Donation of all your zenny(0 will do)
Who:Any magic user does well under him with an increase in Ap, and Int
and the agility doesn't drop which is a good thing for Momo whom you'll
need to be fast. Early in the game before Mcneil Manor, you should
apprentice Ryu to him to raise his Ap a tad in the beggining.
