Name| Sephiroth -
Name Meaning
The name comes from the word Səphīrōth, This medieval Hebrew word, translated means (sorry i'm not TO good at hebrew) The Manifestation of God. This explains Sephiroths obsession and nigh omnipotent and godly abillities.
Age| Unknown, looks roughly Thirty three
Gender| Male
Race/Species|Genetic Experiment
Alignment| Lawful Evil, Himself
Loyalty| N/A
Personality|
Sephiroths personality is one of layers, at the tip we see a madman hell bent on destroying a universe, a Shakespearean evil only striving to destroy all those around him and create nothing but utter Chaos. This is his mask, a mask of power and strength, of pure evil.
Sephiroths second is his insanity, The man has just realised that he hath just realised that he was a myth of a human being, a mere toy of science. This has driven him to question who he is, is he a monster or a man? His mind is constantly at war, Sanity fighting for control while Insanity seemingly tries to lure back to his old games.
To sum up Sephiroth one must examine ones own animal and primal instincts and realise the insanity of the human race, always trying to be something we are not; a society of constant improvements and civility while fighting one another and brutalising the very rules we set up for ourselves.
Appearance|Long silver hair flows down his spine like a river of stars flowing gracefully, as he walks it swishes easily as if it was another living part of his body. His stance is tall roughly 6 foot in height, a giant of a man but thin and elegant features a perfect hybrid of the Feminine and Masculine. His nose is a mere pinch of flesh with two large eyes, glowing brightly, a translucent green glow shining from these twin emeralds. His lips are fair, blending with his skin easily revealed only when speaking. A single black wing sprouts from his shoulder, stretching out like a shadow upon him, its feathers flicker in the wind much like his hair. His fingers are long and elegant, gracefully placed over the hilt of the Masamune long sword with infinite power. His posture remains that of a baron or emperor, always proper and calming. His robes flick open,like a silken gown, with two straps holding them from completely flying open.

History|
Sephiroth was one of several infused with the cells of Jenova, a life form with only one instinct - to devour energy and destroy. While still in the womb, he was injected with the cells, as well as Mako energy, as the beginning of something known as the Jenova Project. As a child, he was raised by Shinra, being told that ‘Jenova’ was his mother, but was given no more information.
He showed great promise from an early age - inhuman speed, agility, strength, and will. He soon rose through the ranks of SOLDIER, an elite fighting force, and soon became the top general of SOLDIER, First Class. At age twenty, he was the force that led his troops to victory in the Midgar-Wutai war. It was said that Sephiroth, as a swordsman, had no equal.
Ten or so years ago to the day, Sephiroth set off to inspect a Mako reactor in Nibelheim. Cloud Strife, a guard with Jenova’s cells, was also there, as was Zack, the man whom Cloud later ‘became’. Only Sephiroth and Zack were granted access into the generator itself; Cloud and Tifa remained outside.
At the reactor, Sephiroth discovered a series of pods, many of which were labeled ‘Experiment ###’, but one was different. Having been told all his life of his mother’s identity, a mysterious woman named Jenova, he became incensed to discover her as a dark, twisted shape of a blue-skinned woman encased in a capsule.
For weeks, Sephiroth locked himself in the basement of the Shinra mansion, going through all the reports he could find. He learned of the Jenova Project, of his creation, of Cloud’s, and of the ‘Sephiroth clones’, those also infused with the cells of Jenova. Driven into a self-created madness, he destroyed Nibelheim and headed towards the reactor to claim Jenova, his so-called ‘mother’.
Zack, Cloud and Tifa intercepted him, but Sephiroth was not dissuaded easily. In two blows, he had grievously injured Tifa and killed Zack, and headed inside to open Jenova’s capsule.
The minute the seal was broken, Jenova’s own will and instinct took forward. The planet’s scream resonated as a dark tear opened in the sky, through which poured countless Shadows. As Cloud ran forward, carrying Zack’s buster sword to stop Sephiroth, Shadows surrounded them. Jenova dissipated, shooting into the very lifestream of the planet, but not before crossing through Zack and Cloud. Only Sephiroth retained some hold on her, absorbing a good deal into himself before the ancient alien could fully merge into the planet.
Caught by the sudden use of Jenova against him, and the raw energy searing through him, Cloud blacked out. Sephiroth stood aloof, watching as the planet’s heart was eaten away, and leapt into the ensuing darkness, using Jenova’s power.
In the place between worlds, where most would drift, Sephiroth soared. He reached through the worlds, seeking those who resonated with him, those that had also been created from Jenova. Only Cloud remained.
Sephiroth remained near Cloud, convinced that Jenova was the one true queen, and that he and Cloud were the only remaining heirs. Only they could rule supreme, and that was a power Sephiroth was not interested in sharing.
Cloud, for his part, was crossed with Zack, inheriting, largely, his identity. This fact Sephiroth knew - as the stronger of the two, he maintained a steady power over Cloud, furthering the illusion, and convincing him of his ‘truth’.
As those of the world that was no more gathered together - Yuffie Kisaragi, Squall Leonheart, Aeris Gainsborough, Cloud Strife, Cid Highwind, and Tifa Lockheart - Sephiroth remained apart, watching from a distance as he dropped hints to Cloud. Both were, he knew, from the same person - and he began to refer to Cloud as his other, claiming to be Cloud’s darkness. Time and time again, Cloud sought him out, at first for revenge on ‘his’ hometown, and then later in an attempt to stop the voice in his mind, and put his sanity at ease.
Though Cloud has defeated him before, Sephiroth has become too steeped in the darkness rampant, and too strong of will, to disperse, and believes himself by now invincible.
As the only other heir to Jenova, he believes Cloud to be the only one capable of defeating him, and therefore rarely bothers with fighting anyone. After all, if only one is your proclaimed equal, what’s the point in fighting anyone else?
However, as his strength and mastery over the arcane arts and over his own questionable gifts increases, Sephiroth has turned his gaze outside, to watch as matters unfold...

With Great Power…

He's Sexy
RP Sample|
"Your unique me boy." The man with a buzzed beard and black scruffed hair said, placing his hand on the young silver haired boys shoulder "Thats why, your raised here" The boy didn't smile, a mere emotionless expression remained on his face, he was six but still as calm as one of the scientists raising him. The man scratched his neck "Listen, you shouldn't worry. Your unique because of your heritage my boy, Your mother was a great woman."
The boy tilted his head "...Mother?" The man nodded his head with a smirk "Yes, Your Mother...Her name is..."
"Jenova." He said, his gloved finger tips touching the casing of the glass, a beautiful blue skinned woman, torn in half laid there floating, cords and wires flowing from its body. All was silent, this was his mother, the one woman who had once tried to destroy the very planet she is now encased. "What are you doing!?" rang out through the dark halls "have you gone Insane!?" It was a familliar voice, Yes, Zack Fair. 1st Class, Angeal's Apprentice. Zack had been accompanying Sephiroth on the very mission which revealed his purpose. he had not gotten to known Zack very well outside of training sessions and a mission hear and there, still perhaps he spoke the truth, maybe he had gone insane. Though, at the time the One Winged god knew what was needed to be done. Turning nigh instantly a single slash of the Masamune sent Zack flying backwards. "Don't make me kill you Zack." The words escaped his mouth, calmly yet gracefully slipping out, At the same time he didn't fully understand why he said this. Zack was just another partner, easily expelled and replaced, to kill him would be little more than killing a monster within the world. Zacks body ragdolled to the wall as the White Haired Monster flew towards the dark haired man, his sword drawn impaling his fair skin, blood dripped out at first, small drops but soon around the brilliant steel red ooze began to fall, dripping slowly down to the floor. Sephiroth quickly threw his hand outward and so to did Zack easily slide off the blade.
"Your nothing to me." He said looking Zack right into his Mako infused eyes with little emotion, turning he looked at his mothers face with a tear in his eye, extending his hand and placing his hand to the glass. "Beautiful..." he said softly, allowing Zack to bleed in the corner of the room

Abilities|
- {Ability Name 1}: When Sephiroth left Nibelheim, he had with him several materia - Revive, Cure, All, Quake, Fire to name a fewl. Due to the nature of his... gifts, he soon found himself no longer even in the need of them, but has yet to rid himself of them.
In addition to this, Sephiroth freely wields the darkness within the world, and even within the mind itself. One of his most (and the one he is most known for) devastating attacks is known as 'Descend Heartless Angel' - an attack where Sephiroth gathers all the darkness he can about him, then casts it forward at someone, or someones, leeching them of all strength and energy. Often bringing them to a near death state. - {Ability Name 2}:Other random things include forming small asteroids to pummel the enemy with, spheres of darkness (and death), potentially shifting appearance, and bending heartless and nobodies alike to his iron will, for periods of time.
- {Ability Name 3}: Then, of course, there are Limit Breaks. Bizzaro and Safer are known forms from FFVII, These forms are not used very often as Sephiroth prefers to hold back when fighting, this is shown that he could fight Tifa Lockhart, Zack Fair, Cloud Strife and Genesis Rhaspodos, each with unique combat levels (Cloud arguably being the strongest) and has lost mainly from letting his guard down.
