Name: Kadaj
Canon: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete;; post-summoning of bahamut SIN and finding out that Rufus is a dirty, dirty mother-hiding liar.
Gender: Male
Cell Phone:
FOMA900IV Personality: Kadaj is an angry and violent not-child, one that has trouble understanding his own feelings, and why he feels that way. He's a bit like a ticking time bomb, one without wires to pull to disarm, and he's extremely easy to set off. He tends flit from one emotion to the next with almost no rhyme or reason. He'll laugh while he's sad, cry when he's happy, and the tone of his voice has almost nothing to do with how he feels (or doesn't). One moment he could be screaming at someone, and then burst into (rather insane) laughter.
The constant change of emotions can make him a danger to the people around him because he's careless, and the more emotional he becomes, the more careless he becomes. He doesn't care about the people around him, humans least of all, and has no qualms injuring them in his brief moments emotional turbulence. Even his brothers (Yazoo and Loz) are in danger, though they are more likely to avoid him in those brief moments (as noted in a scene during ACC when Kadaj uses materia to blast down a tree, nearly hitting Loz in the process).
Kadaj is also extremely dedicated to Jenova's cause, and is willing to do whatever it takes to complete the Reunion. He's blindly dedicated, so much so that he doesn't even know how to complete the Reunion or even where to find Jenova, but he trudges on regardless, doing what he deems he must to make her happy. He believes that Jenova will fix things, will bring about something wonderful for him and his brothers, even if somewhere deep down he knows he's lying to himself.
Despite the fact that Kadaj is a part of Sephiroth, molded from some memory, he's very, very different for the once First Class SOLDIER. For one thing, Kadaj isn't manipulative. He's more likely to fall prey to someone than the other way around. He's seen in ACC to be led on a wild goose chase by Rufus Shinra, and that leads to the idea that, while he may be a leader and a rather violent one, he's easily used and confused. Much like Sephiroth, though, he walks with his head held high, and he has a general air of confidence to him, but the way he appears to act is not the way he truly feels. Kadaj is anything but confident in himself. He has no idea what he's doing, no idea where Jenova is, and the knowledge that Sephiroth is somewhere, waiting and being loved by her is enough to keep him moving blindly forward. Even if Jenova never shows an ounce of love for Kadaj, he wants to make her happy because that's what a good child would do.
Many attributes of Kadaj's personality are distorted, a sad mockery of a real person, and because of that he can come off twisted and even confused. There are a great deal of things he's unfamiliar with, and much of the world is new/old to him; there are no memories from Sephiroth, only feelings and knowledge, and that tends to give him serious deja vu. He knows, and he doesn't. Kadaj is a remnant, only one piece of a whole person, and he acts like it. Lost, confused, angry, and turbulent, but with a purpose.
He has a defining urge to prove himself to the people around him, whether it's Cloud Strife, his brothers, or Jenova herself. He wants to be noticed, and he never wants to be alone. In fact, he fears greatly being left alone, with no one beside him, with no one to care for him. It's proof that Kadaj is nothing but a child playing grown-up; he's that part of Sephiroth that no one ever saw, a part of Sephiroth that had long been distorted due to the man's time in the Lifestream, a part of a man that was forgotten long ago.
History:
His life is very, very short. Abilities: ♟ capable of turning into a black mist/fog, and seeping through locked doors & cracks; because not much is really known, or seen of this ability, I'm going to assume that he's unable to use it often.
♟ swordplay; as a piece of Sephiroth, he's a superb fighter. he's quick, and agile, and easily brings down Reno & Rude and while he can't best Cloud, he comes close. it's safe to say he's very skilled, and very strong, but hindered by his turbulent emotions.
♟ magic in the form of materia. he has enemy skill (known due to the fact that he uses Matra Magic -non-elemental magic- at the end), and Bahamut SIN.
♟ he's able to summon shadow creepers at will
♟ he has some weird limit break that i will probably do nothing with, but he's capable of activating jenova cells with it.
Possessions: his katana (souba), his leather goodness, his materia: enemy skill (matra magic [non elemental magic], white wind [healing], beta [fire] and trine [lightning]) summon (bahamut SIN), and nothing else.
First-Person Sample: [the feed comes to life, and images flicker; the sky, the dead, black leather, and then his face. he doesn't straighten up, doesn't fix the angle of the camera--he doesn't care enough to bother. he glares, something fierce, but there's fear there, too, and confusion.]
Tell me how to return home. [there's no doubt that's a demand. there may even be a silent threat if he doesn't receive the answer he wants.] Someone here has to know how, right? [there's a dark, angry chuckle] Someone better know.
Third-Person Sample: The motorcycle purred beneath him as he sped up, tires wailing as he turned a tight corner; a part of him loved how quickly the world went by, like he was leaving it all behind. It was a feeling he could relish, one that wasn't overcome by the urge and necessity to find Her. It didn't help him forget, but it helped him withstand the pressure and fear that came with his responsibility. It helped.
The bike came to a roaring halt, and Kadaj vaulted off. His fingers itched, and he could feel himself closing in. Mother was somewhere, somewhere in this vast world, and he was closing in on her location. He gazed up at the lodge--those ShinRa lapdogs gave away the location with enough poking and prodding--and grinned; this was where they brought Her. This was it.
It'd hardly been two weeks, but he was already so close he could feel it. Everything had been leading up to this, and he couldn't help the grin on his face. ShinRa may have stolen Her, but he was taking Her back, and with Her everything would be better. Everything would change, even if he didn't know how.
He climbed the stairs, sometimes skipping a step in his anticipation, and rapped on the door. It felt like this was the moment he'd been waiting for all his life. He'd be reunited with Her, and She would praise him.
"Who is it?" His grin widened, recognizing the voice from the helicopter. This was it. He felt giddy as he answered,"It's me."
A moment of quiet chatter, too quiet to really discern what was being said, that was quickly followed with,"What's the password?"
His eyes narrowed, his grin twitching with annoyance. This wasn't a game, and he wasn't someone to be taunted. He slammed his palm against the door, the sound jarring,"I'll get it in whether you want me to or not. Let's save us all the trouble!"
"Nope!" His grin was gone now, his thin patience disappating with the obnoxious, mockingly chipper answer. If they wanted to go about it the hard way, then so be it.
