Player: Sven Contact:svensational Anything Else?: I'm a 31-yr-old ex-community manager and QA tester! Currently unemployed, hoping to get back in that. Uh. I talk a lot about videogames and tabletop games and in general I consider myself a hobbyist when it comes to game design analysis. My primary fandoms at the moment are FF7, FF14, Granblue Fantasy, and more I'm probably forgetting! I'm not very cool but I seem to have mistaken some people that I am.
Character: Cloud Strife Canon: Final Fantasy VII (Remake Continuity) Canon Point: Pre-Rebirth, en route to Kalm (so no worries about spoilers for the recent game yet!)
Crime: Impersonation/Identity Theft. If you know, you know.
Background: Everyone say hello to everyone's favorite slab-of-a-sword wielding JRPG protagonist (circa 1997)! Remake/Rebirth means he has a fresh coat of paint, but let's get the simple stuff out of the way first: ex-military, current sword arm for hire, Cloud Strife is a pragmatic and cold-seeming man who not-so-subtly hides his heart of gold under a cynical, standoffish shell. Pulled into the eco-terrorist group Avalanche, Cloud's engagements with his former employer, Shinra, a corpro-state draining the planet of life to sell its energy as a commodity, spark a brand new conflict and a cross-the-planet cat and mouse game. Behind him: the ever-pursuing Shinra Electric Power Company. Ahead of him: an old long-thought-dead nemesis by the name of Sephiroth. You've probably heard of him.
Abilities: Cloud is infused with the literal processed life-blood of his world, which makes him, effectively, superhuman: Cloud is strong (despite what his build might fool you into thinking), fast, and tough, and a daring swordsman to boot. What he lacks for subtlety and grace he makes up for in a keen mercenary instinct and the Buster Sword, which he's bringing with him from home. Additionally, Cloud has two Materia (magic rocks that grant you spells and other nifty abilities), of the Fire and Lightning variants.
Plans: I'm not exactly a planner, but I'd love to explore Cloud's more honest side - it's easy for him to be caught up in the snarking, but the fact that is he's a hero through and through, despite himself, and Expiation giving him a chance to explore... well, something like normality, which is something Cloud does not actually have that much experience in, especially not when it comes to forging an identity and lifestyle outside of a world-controlling system, instead of aligned with or opposed to it. Re: March Event. Cloud's going to become a courier/deliveryman, but, yknow, in Aldrip, you kind of have to have a bit of jack-of-all trades mentality about you. He might have his own Chocobo. I'll need to figure out more details as I go.
How can you run into my character? After the March Event, it will probably be fairly easy to find Cloud doing... basically anything and everything. The mercenary lifestyle suits him just fine, so he'll pick up small odd jobs to make ends meet or help out (though obviously, combat is his preference). He's an RPG protagonist, cause a small amount of trouble and he's bound to show up regardless.

I AM DEEP IN THE FF7 REBIRTH MINES LITERALLY AS WE SPEAK SO IF I'M SLOW IT'S BECAUSE I'M GAMING DOING CANON REVIEW, that said I will try and keep tagging my TDM threads and any threads we have there I am willing to say are canon if people want to call them canon! If you'd like to move on we can hash out how they wrapped!
