[ History ] :
I'm not fit to help anyone. Not my family. Not my friends... Nobody.
[ Personality ] :
Cloud Strife was once a cheerful, but shy individual, hoping to become a part of the SOLDIER program. He once idolized Sephiroth alongside his friend and mentor Zack Fair. However, this and what happened years prior caused a dramatic change in his personality, turning the young teenager to a stoic practically overnight (though in reality, it was four years): Sephiroth's betrayal. When his idol burned down his hometown of Nibelheim and gravely injured his friends Zack and Tifa Lockhart--of whom he had promised to protect--he doesn't hesitate to avenge them with Zack's Buster Sword. Gravely injured by this and on the verge of death, he and Zack were taken to Shinra Manor where they became a part of the Jenova Project. These experiments twisted Cloud's mind, enhancing his already strong body but leaving him in a coma for over four years alongside Zack. When he'd finally recovered from Mako poisoning, Zack had gone to his death.
"All you are is an empty puppet."
The loss of his friend made his mind snap, and with the Jenova cells placed inside him, it created a false SOLDIER persona for him to use: an exceedingly arrogant mercernary who cared little for what was happening to the Planet. It used his memories of Zack in it's wake, mixing it and the impressions he had of 1st Class SOLDIERs had. It takes chasing Sephiroth around the world and the death of Aerith Gainsborough to make this persona break.
Ever since, Cloud has been wracked with grief and regret, becoming more remorseful over their deaths and dark. His failure to save two of his friends haunts him to this day, but the final straw to break the chocobo's back was when he contracted Geostigma. All of these problems combined caused the man to be lost in despair and helplessness, leaving behind his friends to live alone in the slums so as to not cause them more grief. Yet they found him, and began showing the way even with the problems they face.
Despite the pain of having to bear all this on his shoulders, he had remained loyal to those he cares for and whenever something would attempt to do them harm, he'd immediately step in to protect them. He would go so far as to put his own life on the line, a hidden strength that is shown in Advent Children Complete when Denzel and Tifa, then later Barret were about to be killed in the midst of the fight with Bahamut Sin.
He is also compassionate, which is seen when he comes across a sickly Denzel passed out next to his motorcycle with his phone in hand. The last thing seen in Denzel's point of view is an outstretched hand and, even though a sick, filthy orphan boy, Cloud ignored the taboo about Geostigma and brought him home like Tifa said, even holding the boy's trembling hand as they rode back.
In short, he's a broken man with unresolved issues in his past yet still maintains a hidden heart of gold.
[ Strengths/Weaknesses ] :
☁ Click here for Cloud's abilities.
☁ As the link above will show, Cloud is incredibly skilled with the broadsword. Due to the alterations the Jenova cells did to his body, his strength is almost superhuman and he's normally quite agile. ...Normally.
☁ As for weaknesses, Cloud is mentally unstable when it comes to Sephiroth. Though the severity has lessened, his ties to the heartless angel are still strong and thus it holds him back and occasionally causes him to break down and collapse due to his denial and willingness to be his own person. His Geostigma worsens this to a degree along with slowing him down.
[ Other Important Facts ] :
☁ He's a failed specimen in the Jenova Project according to classified Shinra records.
☁ Cloud will be coming with his six-piece buster blade.
☁ He's able to wield six swords at once, but it takes quite a bit of energy to do so.
☁ Under the sleeve, his left arm is infested with Geostigma.
☁ As an ex-infantryman, he is quite skilled with a rifle though he prefers broadswords.
☁ Dammit Kadaj, I AM NOT YOUR NIISAN.
[ Sample ] :
[He knew he wouldn't have been help to anyone. He knew it, and yet he had gone anyway to do what he could to get Marlene and Denzel back home safely. And yet... yet, he'd failed to do even that. The last thing he can recall is being carried off to safety as Vincent leaped from tree branch to tree branch, sometimes transforming to make it easier for his seemingly frail body to support both their weights.
But he wasn't in the forest anymore. No, not even on the Planet.
Cloud winced, sitting up slowly, clutching his head for a moment. No, he hadn't been struck down... this wasn't the so-called "Promised Land" that Shinra had sought for two years prior. He'd seen it...
The delivery boy grunted, checking for his phone. Maybe unlike his clothes it survived getting soaked- What was this starfish thing? Cloud examined it a moment, figuring out the voice feature after a moment.
Dead silence...]
...Hey. Anyone know what this place is?
