Character Name: Sephiroth
Fandom: Final Fantasy VII

Character History:
Sephiroth came into being as the product of Jenova Project S. He is the son of Professor Hojo and Lucrecia Crescent, injected with Jenova cells while still in the womb. As a child, he was told that his mother's name was Jenova and believes that still. Lucrecia left after his birth and so he has never known her.
Sephiroth believes he has no hometown but it is likely that he was born in Nibelheim. The experiments before he was born took place there and he feels an odd familiarity when he enters the town but he was raised inside Shinra for as long as he can remember.
Sephiroth had few friends when he was growing up, being kept isolated and spending most of his time in the laboratories until he entered into military training. His appearance and enhanced abilities set him apart from the other cadets but eventually befriended two others, Genesis Rhapsodos and Angeal Hewley. Even so, he was never very social. Rising quickly through the ranks, Sephiroth made it to First Class and was named General.
Towards the end of the Wutai War, Genesis and Angeal deserted Shinra. In their absence, Sephiroth connected most with Zack, Angeal’s protégé but was still distant to most of the other members of SOLDIER.
Genesis and Angeal had teamed up with a scientist who had also abandoned Shinra named Hollander. He possessed technology that allowed the SOLDIERs’ traits to be copied on to monsters. Naturally, this created a lot of trouble for Shinra and the ordered both Angeal and Genesis first to be captured and then to be killed. Sephiroth turned down the first mission to bring back the two SOLDIERs, believing that he would have better luck. When that failed, the order to kill them came but Sephiroth and Zack deliberately failed while making it appear that they were trying to carry out their orders.
Angeal and Genesis are announced dead by Shinra but in reality, only Angeal died when he forced Zack to kill him. Genesis disappeared but there were still reports of ‘Genesis copies’. Some time later, Sephiroth is sent on a mission to Nibelheim to investigate the reactor there. There are reports of monsters and apparently several SOLDIER operatives have also gone missing, who were investigating the disappearance of a Shinra official - Director Lazard, who once commanded SOLDIER. They arrive in Nibelheim and stay a night in the inn before going up to the reactor, at which point Sephiroth finds himself in Nautilus.
Character Personality:
Sephiroth, at first glance, seems cold and detached, as if he does not particularly care about anything. But in reality, he is simply unused to the kind of social interaction most people have all their lives. Growing up within Shinra, he had few friends. Canonically, the only friends Sephiroth is known to have are Genesis and Angeal, though he does display friendship towards Zack after they leave SOLDIER.
One may assume that he is fairly emotionless but Sephiroth is just good at concealing what he feels to protect himself from harm. He avoids opening up to people immediately to prevent himself from being vulnerable. Anyone wishing to make friends with him will have something of a fight on their hands but anyone persistent and openly friendly will have a decent chance at getting through Sephiroth's shell.
Sephiroth is very intelligent although he has been viewed as a mindless soldier due to the way he followed orders for Shinra. However, he is far from mindless and stupid. Hojo would have been very disappointed in him if he had not showed signs of above average intelligence. He can also be quite stubborn, especially when it comes to revealing something about himself that he doesn't want to. Anything he reveals to others is either of his own volition or has been somehow forced out of him - although it takes a lot to force anything out of Sephiroth.
Sephiroth, though he may seem like a perfect soldier who will always follow orders, has been known to disobey if it conflicts with his personal interests - refusing to kill either of his friends after they deserted Shinra, for example.
Powers: Sephiroth is stronger and faster than most others due to the treatments he has received from Professor Hojo all his life. The mako and Jenova cells in his system increase his strength, agility, his ability to use materia and also boost his healing capabilities. Sephiroth is capable of taking a blow that would kill lesser men and recovering faster than usual from most, if not all, wounds. He is also exceptionally skilled with a sword, as his katana, the Masamune, is longer than most blades and would normally be considered unwieldy though Sephiroth handles it with ease.
