Anything Else?: shameless copypaste from last time, hi, i'm peach! i work in localization. timezone is pst/gmt-8, usually tag in the evenings and catch up on weekends. i like meaty tags with details and fun introspection, and love to write! i like horror, video games, animanga, alice in wonderland, music, and coffee. some fandoms i love besides final fantasy are fire emblem: three houses, jujutsu kaisen, my hero academia, and kingdom hearts.


Character: cloud strife
Canon: final fantasy vii remake
Canon Point: after the post-credits scene in intergrade, as the party is heading to kalm

Crime: murder of a superior officer, which he likely thinks indicates him wasting sephiroth but also may indicate the feelings he has towards what happened to zack, if he ever remembers right.

Background: local loser from wooded backlands pretends to be a cool soldier to get the girl he likes to notice him, gets a lot of people killed, and feels so bad about it that he invents an entirely new history for himself...yes, it's that guy: cloud strife, an 'ex-soldier first class' trying to be a mercenary who ends up getting roped into saving the planet. deep down he's just shy and awkward, a good-hearted kind of guy... but you have to get through like eight layers of pointed antisocial 'not interested' armor to get there.

he's a guy that's very heavily influenced by his past, though his version of it is very blurry and very untrue, especially at this canon point where he doesn't know much of anything. as evidenced in the game, he has headaches at times when someone brings up something from the past that he's avoided, or when he has flashes of memory/visions of stuff. he tends to keep people at a distance--or at least tries to, anyway, but despite the seemingly prickly exterior, he's a pretty kind friend and might not even charge you for his services if he likes you. (not that he'll admit it!)

Abilities: he can swing a big sword.

...and he's got some superhuman-esque abilities thanks to the mako, but nothing that stands out too much. he's apparently very good at dancing, somehow... in any case, his app has more info if needed!

Plans: cloud's been doing as many odd jobs as he can, trying to both build up a name to become the merc of his dreams, while also keeping up enough coin to fund the room where he's staying with aerith currently. i'm happy to handwave that your character may have seen him doing this-or-that job or even if you want to hire him to do something...! very flexible towards anything, if you'd like a fun way to jumpstart CR.

in regards to the event, he'll probably be lending his help, if possible, towards fixing the refrigeration units, as well as traveling through pessiria forest...he's great at bartering, or, well, being intimidating. i'm also down for him to have weird nightmares (more than the ones he already has!). he can also be hired bodyguard help for anyone wanting to go through the forest, or even a quiet friend to comfort those plagued by the nightmares. i'll probably just pop up some open prompts for a top level for the event, but if you'd like something in particular, i'm happy to sort of vaguely plan on a starter and cement it once the event details come in!

other than that, i'm always down for random encounters, monster killing, inbox threads, etc!
