You Can't Do It Without Them....
Major Characters
*Rufus Shinra*
*Game: FF7*
*Who?: The Vice President
turned President of the Midgar based Shinra Inc. Rufus chooses to rule
using fear rather than money. He's also arrogant, self-centered and extremely
good looking. Rufus tried to stay one step ahead of Cloud's gang when it
comes to finding Sephiroth. Rufus works closely with Heidegger and often
blames him for any mishaps. Shinra developed a weapon called the Sister
Ray which ran on Mako Energy and he ordered it fired upon the barrier surrounding
Sephiroth's crater at the North Cave. Unfortunately the Sister Ray was
being aimed at the Diamond Weapon as well, which fired upon the city, hitting
the room Rufus was in, killing him. ::sob::*
*Sephiroth*
*Game: FF7*
*Who?: Sephiroth is the
son of Lucretia and Hojo, two Shinra scientists. He was born in order to
test Professor Gast's Jenova theory, in which the cells of Jenova are inserted
into a human being to make them stronger. Sephiroth never knew his real
parents, and always believed his mother was named Jenova. Sephiroth entered
soldier where he soon rose to the top ranks. Because of the Jenova cells
in him Sephiroth possessed unbelievable strength. Five years prior to the
beginning of Cloud's adventures with AVALANCHE Sephiroth and Zack went
to Nibelheim to investigate a broken Mako reactor. While there, Sephiroth
saw all the Jenova spaceman's and realized his mother's name was Jenova.
Was he one of these monsters created by the Shinra? Sephiroth spent many,
many hours in the basement of the Shinra mansion reading up on the Jenova
project. Believing he was an ancient like Jenova was believed to be, Sephiroth
hated anyone that was a "traitor", a descendent of those who chose to settle
down and not roam the planet. Sephiroth believed that he and his mother,
Jenova, could rule the world together at the legendary promised land of
the ancients. Sephiroth went mad, burning down the town of Nibelheim, killing
everyone. Tifa and Zack both tried to stop him from causing any further
damage, but they were both badly injured. Cloud also tried to stand up
to Sephiroth, but he was stabbed through. However, Cloud somehow managed
to fling Sephiroth into the Mako below. Sephiroth was believed to be dead
until he showed up at Shinra headquarters, murdered the President, and
stole Jenova. That Sephiroth turned out to be a clone of the *real* Sephiroth,
in search of ultimate destruction, or black materia. The real Sephiroth
lay frozen in the North Cave crater and once he received the black materia
Sephiroth summoned meteor to destroy the planet. Sephiroth would then absorb
all life, making him the supreme ruler. Sephiroth must be stopped in order
for the planet to have a chance for survival.*
*Professor Hojo*
*Game: FF7*
*Who?: Professor Hojo worked
for Shinra under Professor Gast in the Jenova project alone with Lucretia.
When the project called for a real live human being to be inserted with
the cells of Jenova, Hojo convinced Lucretia that he loved her and they
should have a child in the name of science. She agreed and Sephiroth was
born. There was a Turk named Vincent Valentine who loved Lucretia and hated
the whole idea of the Jenova project. Hojo could not let him get in his
way so he shot Vincent in the arm and genetically altered him. Meanwhile
the last surviving Ancient, a woman named Infalna, was being studied as
part of the experiment. Gast ultimately decided this was wrong and escaped
with Infalna. Hojo later hunted Gast down and took Infalna and her child
back. They eventually escaped and Hojo sent the Turks to search out the
child for experimentation. With Gast gone, Hojo became the head of the
Shinra chemistry divison.*
*Scarlet*
*Game: FF7*
*Who?: Scarlet is the head
of Weapons development at Shinra Inc., a company which used to specialize
in weapons development but now deals with Mako energy. Scarlet searched
the planet for Huge Materia to use in her ultimate weapon.*
*Heidegger*
*Game: FF7*
*Who?: Heidegger is the
head of Public maintenance and order at Shinra. He's also the boss of the
Turks and Rufus' right hand man. Rufus blames Heidegger for everything
that goes wrong, which causes him to retaliate on others.*
*Tseng, Reno, Rude and Elena*
*Game: FF7*
*Who?: These are the Turks,
who have many functions for the Shinra. Tseng is the head Turk, and Elena
is the newest Turk, hired because they were short handed. At the beginning
the Turks have the job kidnapping Aeris. Reno fails, but Tseng is successful.
(Tseng has a crush on Aeris, who's he's known since he was little, Elena
has a crush on Tseng, and Rude has a thing for Tifa.) the Turks act as
Shinra's scouts and always seem to be one step ahead of Cloud's gang. The
Shinra managed to steal the keystone to the temple of the Ancients from
under Cloud's nose. Tseng took the keystone to the temple, where he was
killed by Sephiroth. Elena was very upset about Tseng's death, but the
remaining Turks carried on without their leader.*
*Seifer Almasy*
*Game: FF8*
*Age: 18*
*Height: 6'2"*
*Birthday: December 22nd*
*Blood Type: O*
*Who?: A student at Balamb
Garden and a member of the disciplinary committee, Seifer's taken the SeeD
exam more than anyone else but can never seen to pass. Seifer grew up in
an orphanage with Squall Leonhart, and the two were always rivals. Seifer
gave Squall a scar across his face one day during training, but Squall
retaliated and gave Seifer a scar on the opposite side of his face. Never
one to take orders, Seifer met Rinoa Heartilly one summer and helped her
get the help of SeeD for her resistance movement. Because of his insurrection
during his most recent SeeD exam, Seifer was being disciplined by Garden.
When he found out 3 rookie SeeD's were dispatched by Garden to help Rinoa,
Seifer grew angry, escaped, and headed for Timber where Squall and the
gang had been sent. There, Seifer held his gunblade to the throat of Galbadian
President Vinzer Deling, but let him go once the word went out he was from
Garden. Sorceress Edea then appeared out of nowhere and convinced Seifer
to follow her. Later, it was believed Seifer had been executed for what
he did to Deling, but he turned up in a parade with Edea as her knight.
Seifer helped Edea search for Ellone and stood by her side, obeying every
order with the belief his dreams would come true. With Edea defeated, Seifer
became the ruler of Galbadia and began following the wishes of Ultimecia
himself, still believing she would make his dreams come true. Seifer went
and dug up Lunatic Pandora to get Adel to the surface. He then captured
Ellone for Ultimecia and attempted to unite the two Sorceress', Adel and
Rinoa. Along the way Seifer lost his only friends, Raijin and Fujin, in
his quest for his dreams.*
*Edea Kramer*
*Game: FF8*
*Who?: In the past Edea
was known as Matron and she presided over an orphanage on the Centra continent
where Squall, Seifer, Zell, Selphie, Quistis and Irvine all spent their
childhood. Together with her husband Cid, Edea dreamed up the idea of Garden
where SeeD's would be trained to fight the Sorceress. Edea had always been
a Sorceress, but she made the mistake of inheriting the powers of Ultimecia,
a Sorceress from the future. Ultimecia eventually possessed Edea and made
her carry out her evil plans. With Seifer on her side, Edea killed President
Deling and began to rule Galbadia. She searched the world for Ellone, using
Galbadia Garden as her base. Once Ultimecia's conscience was driven from
her, Edea accidentally passed her powers into Rinoa. She then went to Esthar
in search of Dr. Odine, whom she believed could help her from becoming
possessed by Ultimecia ever again.*
*Ultimecia*
*Game: FF8*
*Who?: An evil Sorceress
from the future who wants to create time compression and a world where
only she will exist. Ultimecia possessed Edea and had her carry out her
plans. When Edea gave away her powers, Ultimecia possessed Rinoa to free
Adel before possessing Adel herself. Ultimecia keeps a firm hand on Seifer
Almasy, the leader of Galbadia, and has him carry out her wishes with promising
that his dreams will come true.*
*Cid Kramer*
*Game: FF8*
*Who?: Edea's husband who
helped her think up the idea of Garden. Cid is the head of Balamb Garden,
and hs passed alone the order to kill edea, even though it meant losing
his wife if they were successful. Cid allowed a Shumi named NORG
to put up the money for Garden, but later regretted it when NORG wanted
to take over.*
*Ellone*
*Game: FF8*
*Who?: When Ellone was small
Esthar soldiers went on a search for girls to serve as Adel's successor.
Ellone's parents were killed and she went to live with Raine, who lived
next door. There she met Laguna, a man whom Raine nursed back to health.
Ellone had a power to send people's conscience back in time. Esthar began
it's search again, and Ellone was captured and taken to Esthar. There,
Doctor Odine studied her talent and made a machine of it. Laguna rescued
Ellone and sent her back to Raine, but Raine died leaving behind a new
born baby (who I believe is Squall). Both Ellone and the baby were sent
to an orphanage, but it became unsafe there, and Ellone went to hid on
a ship of white SeeD's for the next 10 years she remained hidden there.
Ellone later went to Balamb Garden to hide from Edea, who was out for her
power, but she eventually ended up back on the ship. Ellone found her way
back to Esthar, where she stayed with Laguna. However, she was captured
by Seifer to be used by Ultimecia. Squall and his gang rescued her, and
she sent them into the future to defeat Ultimecia for good.*
