Character: Sephiroth Canon: Final Fantasy VII Canon Point: After summoning Meteor
Crime: Matricide
Background: A powerful warrior who was born to and raised by the Shinra Electric Power Company as the base member and core of their PMC called SOLDIER. He was a handy weapon until someone asked him why he fought and he started getting self-reflective. Then he decided he'd fight for his friends. And he did because he loved his friends but they did not love him back and defected from SOLDIER leaving him alone. His generally kind heart broke, he worried himself sick and stopped eating, and he failed to ever get them to come back. While he was still heartbroken he was deployed to the village of Nibelheim where he learned about the experiments that created him and got it in his head that he was the last Cetra because that's what his mother was. After a week of sleepless nights spent researching his own creation he wandered off, set fire to the town, killed most of the residents, and rampaged up to the local mako reactor to rescue the remains of his "mother", Jenova, who was actually an alien and not a Cetra. Cloud knocked him into the mako reactor and killed him.
Whew!
And that's the prologue. It all gets worse from here... At this point he's been dead for five years and absorbing the Lifestream. His main ambition is to merge with the life force of his planet and become god then use his planet as a vessel to travel through space. As one does.
Abilities: Aside from being a powerful swordsman, Sephiroth is also a sorcerer, and a psychic. His psychic powers can be spooky so please take a look at his Permissions if you'd like to interact with him! Rest assured I will always check in with you before he does anything too dramatic.
Plans: Sephiroth is a very manipulative, cunning man. While he is powerful, he prefers to strategize and watch humans do all the heavy lifting for him. He can be outwardly affable but he's always looking for weaknesses to exploit. Want CR that will encourage your character to be the worst version of themselves? Sephiroth will give folks the nudge they need to go murder their neighbors. Don't be sad, everyone who dies will be reborn as part of him when he ascends to godhood! (He might be scheming to eat Those Who Were There).
???:
NOTE: Those who are only familiar with this character via cultural osmosis might be surprised to learn he is more of a Lovecraftian Horror shaped like a pretty catboy than a swordsman who travels around stabbing people. He likes to get under people's skin, manipulate them and frighten them. Neutral to almost okay CR is possible with him but expect him to be a lurking threat in general. I know this isn't everyone's idea of a good time so PLEASE use his Opt-Out if you want to establish limits or avoid all interaction. My goal is to have people enjoy his presence in the game, not dread or be annoyed by it.
