Initially travelling to different countries to stop the sorceress Edea, their goal changes to stop a sorceress from the future named Ultimecia from compressing time.  The world primarily consists of modern elements, but does contain some futuristic elements. The planet comprises five major landmasses, with Esthar, the largest, covering most of the eastern portion of the map. Galbadia, the second-largest continent, lies to the west, and contains many of the world's civilizations.

Though withdrawn, Gayle does not shy away from duties or commitments she puts her mind to. Even though she is very practical with an honourable sense of responsibility, she harbours a great deal of fear in getting close to anyone and continues to question her life's purpose. Some refer to her as a classic case of; "Hard on the outside, soft on the inside."<br/><br/><strong>History:</strong><br/>A small fragment of defining force has lingered within this world for many generations, untouched and lost in time it's strength forgotten. As the soft yet unyielding grasp of peace reigns with a compassionate hand is crippled however, so too does a knight rise from the maw of legend. It is an age of peril and the<em>Dynasty</em>has carved it's own history into the world and has ruled with an iron fist, forcing a knee of those who cannot fight and ending those who can. Balamb Garden among the first to fight back, remains a smouldering crater as the last to fall. During the events leading to it's destruction, Gayle Leonhart's family is murdered in cold blood attempting to escape the war. Being only a child, Gayle slips through the cracks and wanders the small central continent alone and afraid until reaching it's shores. In a dire state, Gayle is found upon by a local fisherman whom shortly after discovers is a famous smuggler. Perhaps by chance or perhaps by fate, Gayle is nursed back to health and taken to<em>Fisherman's Horizon</em>before being transferred to<em>Dollet</em>where she was raised by a quiet couple. Gayle had never been too open or accepting of her adoptive family and had spent most of her time out in the streets, getting up to all kinds of mischief and mayhem. During her years on Dollet, Gayle grew up learning how to fight and survive on her own and at the age of sixteen took her leave. Taking with her a few lessons in motorcycle maintenance along side a reconditioned bike (http://i.imgur.com/TXuHgjD.jpg), journeying to<em>Galbadia Garden</em>and applying herself to the remnants of their militia. During her time Gayle stuck mostly to herself, shutting herself of from the social gatherings of her class mates, peers and in general; the world around her. Two years slipping by, Gayle's training had come a long way and after successfully graduating she was given her first real mission..... and her last.<br/><br/><strong>Current Situation:</strong><br/>A failed assassination has landed Gayle a one way trip to the executioners block.<br/><br/><strong>Weapon:</strong>Gayle's Gunblade (http://orig08.deviantart.net/d0bf/f/2012/182/6/0/gunblade___squall_ffviii_by_arcaste-d55jmvq.png) consists of a sword blade and a gun action built into the hilt, with the barrel running inside the length of the blade. They are mostly used like normal swords, but triggering a round sends a shock wave through the blade as the weapon passes through an opponent to boost damage.<br/><br/><strong>Special Powers:</strong><br/><em>Limit Break (Renzokuken) - </em>Renzokuken is a series of slashes from Gayle's Gunblade.<br/><em>Survival (Guts!) - </em>"Guts!" is a passive attribute Gayle retains, upon taking a fatal blow has a chance to stand back up and give it one more go!<br/><em>Final Attack (Heaven's Divide) - </em>Throwing her blade high into the air, Gayle rushes her opponent in a flurry of punches and kicks. Completing the combination by grasping her sword mid-air and attempting to slice the victim in two.<br/><br/><strong>Strengths:</strong><br/><em>Junction</em>- Gayle holds and uses a variety of Materia and Guardian Forces(GF) (Summons).<br/><em>Critical Strike</em>- When striking with her Gunblade, pulling the trigger unleashes a power shot increasing the damage of her attack.<br/><em>Lone Wolf Proud Lion</em>- Gayle works well in a team, but also works well alone.<br/><em>Inspire</em>- Even though Gayle prefers not having to lead, she has a spirit that aides in rallying.<br/><br/><strong>Weaknesses:</strong><br/><em>Humanity</em>- Gayle is a fit an enduring young lady, whom has battled beast, monster, alien and demon alike. Even though she has accomplished a great deal, she is still only human.<br/><em>Bane of Heroism</em>- Gayle remains closed off from the people around her, never hinting at the underlining fact that she maintains her fear and doubt with great stress.<br/><em>Stubborn</em>- Occasionally, if Gayle doesn't think the present plan is practical and sound enough, she'll go off on her own.
