Character’s Name: Sephiroth
Character’s Fandom: Final Fantasy VII
SPOILER WARNING!
Never know if there's still someone out there who doesn't know anything about FFVII.
Character’s Personality: During the time he was in SOLDIER, Sephiroth was competent and capable, confident in his abilities, and well-respected. However, he was somewhat distant from his comrades, making him somewhat dark and mysterious as well. After finding out about his origins, he went insane and was corrupted with hatred for humans. Upon learning about Jenova's true nature, he became highly ambitious--he then formed a meticulous plot to absorb the Planet's energy and become a god. Once he was defeated by Cloud, he remained ambitious and formed another plot to re-enact Jenova's goal and purpose.
Simplified, Sephiroth is ambitious, confident, competent, capable, intense, enigmatic, and insane. Although his objectives are simple (absorb the Planet's energy by standing at the core of its injury, gain control of the Planet and slam it into another one, etc), his means are elaborate and grandiose executions of his plots.
Character’s Background: Sephiroth was born approximately 30yrs before the beginning of the FFVII video game to Professor Hojo and Lucrecia, who were both ShinRa employees. Hojo had been involved in the Jenova Project, a study of discovered remains of a being called Jenova. The two agreed to use their unborn son, Sephiroth, in an experiment to study the effects of Jenova's cells on a human subject; he was injected with Jenova cells while still in Lucrecia's womb.
After his birth, Sephiroth was raised by ShinRa and told that "Jenova" was his mother. He displayed inhuman speed and strength at an early age and became an elite SOLDIER--the highlight of his career attained in the Midgar-Wutai war. A year after this war, he and two other 1st Class SOLDIERs (Zack Fair and Angeal) were assigned on a mission to deal with rogue SOLDIER Genesis. (Honestly, it looks like Zack had more to do with dealing with them than Sephiroth did...) Upon dealing with Genesis and Angeal, Sephiroth and Zack were assigned to investigate a Mako reactor at Nibelheim.
During their stay in the ShinRa Mansion, Sephiroth discovered his origins as an experiment and his role in the Jenova Project; he also misinterpreted Hojo and Gast's mixed reports, concluding that he was the last Cetra and that humans were the cause of the Cetra's extinction. With this knowledge, he went crazy and was consumed with hatred for humans--he first destroyed the town of Nibelheim before going to the reactor to release his Mother, Jenova.
Although Zack attempted to stop him, he was defeated by Sephiroth. However, just as Sephiroth was able to free Jenova, he was taken off-guard by a SOLDIER regular, Cloud Strife. Although injured, Sephiroth attempted to leave with Jenova's head. At this point, Cloud tried to finish Sephiroth off, resulting with Sephiroth winding up in the Lifestream (the FFVII video game shows Cloud throwing Sephiroth from the gangway into the Lifestream; however, the Last Order OVA shows Sephiroth jumping into the Lifestream of his own free will).
While traveling in the Lifestream, Sephiroth learns the truth about Jenova's nature, a parasitic being that arrived on the Planet by a Meteor that formed the Northern Crater. Eventually he reached the Northern Cave but was sealed in Mako; however, he also managed to absorb Jenova's head and the wisdom of the Cetra. Part of this wisdom included the knowledge of how the Planet heals itself of wounds; when the Planet receives injury, it gathers energy from the Lifestream at the place of injury in order to heal itself. With this knowledge, Sephiroth formed a meticulous plot to inflict the Planet with such a grave injury that all of its energy would gather in that one spot; Sephiroth himself would utilize his absorption of Jenova to absorb all the Planet's collective energy and become a god.
Throughout the FFVII video game, Cloud and his party encountered 'Sephiroth' a number of times; however, each 'Sephiroth' they encountered was not actually Sephiroth but Jenova's entire body under his control, parts of Jenova's body, or astral projections. Sephiroth's will had become so great that he was able to control Jenova's body, using its parts as project of his image and controlling his manifestations as puppets to find and retrieve the Sephiroth Clones, or individuals who'd also received Jenova cell injection procedures to prove Hojo's Jenova Reuinion Theory.
Cloud and friends eventually reached the Temple of the Ancients and found out about Sephiroth's goal. At this time, Cloud obtained the Black Materia that Sephiroth awaited at the Northern Crater. In the Forgotten City, Aerith Gainsborough, the last Cetra, attempted to stop Sephiroth with her White Materia, which would cast Holy to defend the Planet from Meteor. However, part of Jenova's body came in the image of Sephioth and killed Aerith before Holy was fully casted--it was active but unused. Following this, Cloud and company eventually reached the Northern Crater, where Sephiroth assumed control of the Jenova cells in Cloud's body and obtained the Black Materia for the summoning of Meteor. Then a barrier was formed around the Northern Crater as Sephiroth summoned the Meteor.
After the barrier was taken down by ShinRa's Sister Ray cannon, Cloud and buddies descended into the Northern Crater to confront Sephiroth. When Sephiroth appeared to them, he was already undergoing transformation, first as Bizzaro Sephiroth before molting from his cocoon to become Safer Sephiroth; however, when his physical body was defeated and destroyed, Sephiroth began a mental assault on Cloud's mind in an attempt to claim Cloud's body for himself. However, Cloud had already realized who he was, and Sephiroth's attacks were ineffective. He was then banished back into the depths of the Lifestream. Meanwhile, it was too late to stop Meteor from crashing into the Planet; however, Cloud's victory ensured the casting of Holy, and the Planet was saved from complete destruction.
Two years after that defeat, the a disease called geostigma was spread to many of the Planet's inhabitants. A trio of silver-haired brothers appeared and confronted Cloud to ask him for 'Mother's whereabouts. Eventually the youngest brother, Kadaj, obtained a case of Jenova's remains and absorbed its contents--after this, he transformed in to Sephiroth. This time, Sephiroth revealed his new plans to take the Planet and 'sail it into darkness'--he would crash the Planet into another one to re-enact Jenova's goal. Cloud and Sephiroth battle once again, and Sephiroth once more disappears, but not before saying that he would 'never be a memory' as a forewarning of his continued revivals and resurrections in the future, regardless of shape or form.
Sample RP (Log): He was sitting on the beach, a distance from the city. Rain fell from the gray skies, and Sephiroth slowly stood up and looked around. The cold Purgatorium winds shook raindrops from his clothes, but he remained soaked nonetheless.
His eyes gazed at the city with an indescribable intensity. He could feel Jenova -feel parts of himself- somewhere in that city. His next ambition -Jenova's next goals and objectives- awaited; he should not delay.
Turning away from the city, he walked onward to a place of his calling as a new plan hatched in the madness of his mind.
Sample RP (Journal): A new world and a new home: The Promised Land. I rise again and again; I will never be defeated.
I know you are here, Cloud. Can you challenge me once more? Would you challenge me once more?
Do you think you can stop me?
Your Sin: Pride, because he believes that he can never be stopped. Greed because nothing he gains will ever be enough. Wrath because he hates humans for their foolishness.
