Nunchaku (Male)

Nunchaku (Male), real name chosen by player, is a Player Turk from Before Crisis -Final Fantasy VII-. Born into a wealthy lifestyle in Bone Village, he has never experienced much difficulty in life, and so has a very bright, optimistic outlook. He is naturally talkative and seems to enjoy getting along with his teammates, almost to the point of being overly warm.

His life began as the charmed son of a rich household where all of his needs were met in safe environment without any danger. However, he eventually got tired of the pampered lifestyle, and decides he wants more. So he goes off on his own to join the Turks, whom he has admired for many years.

He appears in the game from the start, but only in the Softbank version.

Equipment and Stats
Each Turk has a weapon particular to him or her. Weapon upgrades can be purchased using RP (Rank Points) gained from completing missions. It is possible to have the weapon's attacks take on elemental attributes by slotting the appropriate Materia into the weapon.

On the Way to a Smile
While not specified by name, many of the Turks who had gone into hiding following the battle against Zirconiade reappear during the events of Final Fantasy VII as specified in the chapter Case of Shinra. Following Tseng being attacked by Sephiroth in the Temple of the Ancients, Cait Sith (Final Fantasy VII) appears to stable his condition before contacting three of the Turks to bring him to Junon for treatment.

Later on, while observing the ruins of the Shinra building following the attack by the Diamond WEAPON, Reno and Rude recollected the times themselves and the other Turks had spent in their now ruined headquarters, "All the tough times they've been through together with their comrades, the times when they got scolded by their superior, the times when they would tease the girls while they had nothing to do and get teased back." During Meteorfall, the Turks and Veld return to assist in the evacuation of Midgar and, following the Meteor's destruction, the Turks leave, returning to the lives they had obtained in their exile, but also worked to gather intelligence on the current state of the planet from their respective locations; sending the information to Veld who in turn would offer it to Tseng when required.

Trivia

 * While any of the Player Turks can be chosen for Episode 19 and pursue Zack and Cloud as they escape the Nibelheim Mansion. The Turk whose encounter with them is considered canon is Shuriken (Female) (aka "Cissnei") due to events in Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII-.
