Is the canon point more than 6 months old in the US as far as you know?: Oh yeah
If not, as best you know it, US release date of the canon point:
Completely optional history and personality section. YOU ARE ALLOWED TO SKIP THIS!:
Please list and explain the three worst (morally) things your character has ever done:
- Continually attempted to goad Cloud into giving into the darkness, telling him the light didn’t suit him and that he’s always wallowing in the past.
- Apparently kidnapped Zack from Olympus Coliseum. Zack saw a large feather float down, said, “He’s here,” and then he vanished.
- (Headcanon to fill in a blank!) Fell to the darkness while seeking something to help defeat the Heartless permanently. Despite Zack’s protests, he kept searching and became obsessed with finding it. When he finally did find it, it took him over and he started mercilessly lashing out at Heartless and human enemies alike. Zack tried to stop him and could not, and while they were distracted, they were surrounded by Heartless. In the ensuing battle, Zack fought them while being driven backwards and eventually fell off a cliff with some of them. That shock broke the hold the dark magic had on Sephiroth and he has never forgiven himself. He still searches for Zack, desperately hoping that somehow he is still alive yet fearing he is a Heartless too.
Please list and explain the three best (morally) things your character has ever done.:
- He was considered a hero during the Birth By Sleep era, ten years prior to KH1. While we don’t know exactly what he did, it was famous enough and widespread enough that Zack aspired to be like him. This is told when he says to Terra that he wants to be a hero “like another.” Nomura has officially confirmed he meant Sephiroth. This one line is a huge game changer for this Sephiroth’s backstory, as not only does it mean he was good, it also means he was very active when Cloud was just a little kid. It is highly unlikely, therefore, that he is literally Cloud’s darkness. He’s just a man, albeit a very strange one.
- (Headcanon to fill in a blank!) When he took Zack, it was to train him as a hero after Phil still wouldn’t do it. They became extremely close and worked to protect Hollow Bastion from the Heartless.
- (Headcanon to fill in a blank!) He is actually using reverse psychology on Cloud when he’s apparently goading him. What he really wants is for Cloud to renounce the darkness once and for all. Cloud reminds him of himself when he fell to the darkness, and, unable to forgive himself for possibly causing Zack’s death, he is determined to keep Cloud from following the same path ... even though his methods are extremely unorthodox.
Please put the six things above on a timeline relevant to each other:
Being a hero - kidnapping Zack - training Zack - falling to the darkness - trying to save Cloud - goading Cloud.
Do you consider your character a hero, an anti-hero, a good aligned side kick, a bystander, a victim, a fence sitter, a mercenary, an evil aligned side kick, a villain, or something else? Why?: An anti-hero at worst, but still a noble hero at heart, even if he cannot see that in himself any longer. The actions he takes against Cloud and also Sora are to push them to be their best. He wants to stop Cloud from falling to the darkness as he did, and knowing Cloud hates him, he uses that to try to show Cloud they are alike in their feelings. Cloud fell to the dark all on his own, as Sephiroth told Sora. Cloud is the one who hungers for the darkness. Sephiroth wants to push Cloud to not want to be like him, to reject the darkness and rise above it, instead of just giving in. And he wants Cloud to make that decision on his own, without anyone like Tifa trying to influence it.
Do you think your character should start on the Isle or in Auradon? Why?: I feel he technically could fit either place. Starting on the Isle would lead to him likely trying to help the other lost souls there. He would be protective of the kids and anyone who reminds him of Zack. Yet he would probably see being sent there as confirmation that he is a bad person, as he thinks. If he started in Auradon, it could show the magic recognizes him as still good and that could lead to a lot of self-discovery and perhaps the beginning of healing. He would have better resources to try to help fix the problems, most likely, as he would throw himself into finding a solution to open the barriers, getting more stuff to the Isle, and getting everyone back where they belong.
Which of those two would you prefer your character to start in?: I would prefer Auradon, both because I like the idea of his inner goodness still recognized and I think I would have more fun playing in Auradon. And I feel like if he ends up on the Isle, he’ll probably just stay there as River has, unless he can get everyone out whom he feels deserves the better place. While I feel that is ICly what he would do and I thus wouldn’t want to go against it, OOCly I really wouldn’t want to never be able to get to Auradon.
Are you still interested in having this character in this game at this time if that preference is not met?: Probably.
Powers and Abilities: Teleportation, fire and energy blast powers. He can make pillars of fire, small meteor showers of flaming rocks, and send out energy balls that appear to be made of both darkness and light. In KH1, he teleports in and out of the Coliseum via portals he presumably makes. In KH2, he again teleports, although his portals look different there. But it’s much clearer in KH2 that he’s making them himself.
What clothing/items did your character arrive with? (See rules and FAQ for what is allowed, feel free to ask if you are unsure): His coat and shoulder armor. I would love for him to have his sword, but I doubt that would be allowed unless it’s nerfed.
Optional- What do you have to keep in mind when playing this character?: I have to remember not to give him overly complicated words. He’s serious, but not really the formal type.
What mod candy, if any, does your character bring? (Aka what elements would you really like to see us play with?): His self-worth. Although he overcame his own darkness, he still believes he is a being of darkness and that he has completely fallen from grace. I would like chances for him to prove himself still the hero he was once officially recognized as. Also, it would just be hilarious for him to react to scenarios like people randomly bursting into song a la musical.
What else do you think the mods should know about your character or their canon?: In the past, at least, there used to be some jokes about where the lower two wings are sprouting from. It isn’t quite clear since the coat hides that. I have them coming from his lower back instead of ... lower than that, and I’d rather not encounter any characters making jokes about it. I don’t anticipate any such problems, though!
Any questions?: Don’t think so!
