Enigma Final Fantasy: FF All-Stars (Cloud Slot Open)

I don't have the time to post anymore. School's happening full force, and I got promoted at work so there's tons to do. Best of luck to everyone! Have fun. :)

I'm gonna use the collab tool that tsukune provided. I think PM might be a bit too slow in this case, and tsukune provided an outline on the collab tool. It's got a neat ability to highlight who wrote what, which is an added bonus. We'll be able to tell who contributed what part at a glance.

I added Cloud's initial reactions. I might adjust a bit depending on what everyone else adds. I didn't put his final reactions yet until I see what else is contributed. I don't want to get too ahead of myself.

Here's the link in case anyone's missing it: Collab

Enigma Final Fantasy: FF All-Stars (Cloud Slot Open)

I've never used a common pad before. I'm open to trying it sometime, if anyone wants to do a collaborative post, but I think I'd be the same. Write it out first, and then post it into the pad. People could look at it and edit it on their own time, I'm thinking.

I think they should put Star Wars into KH3. Hey, it's Disney, haha. At least give Mickey a lightsaber, common.

Super excited about FFVII, but I have no idea how long it will actually take them to get that out. When they do, it'll sell like crazy and they'll drown in pools of money. Dive into their gold pile like Scrooge McDuck.

"Hey! Hey, wake up!" There was a weight on his chest, the feeling of cold ground beneath him, a breeze. "You're not allowed to die, Kupo!" He opened his eyes, squinting from the unexpected light. He was partially under the shade of a tree, and the branches above kept moving, allowing the light from the sun to come directly into his eyes, only to be blocked again when the leaves rustled. A shadow fell over him as a small creature put its face inches from his. "See, Kupo," it said, scrunching up its furry little nose, "I'm in charge here." It was a strange thing to wake up to. He sat up without giving the creature notice, which caused it to tumble to the ground. It protested loudly, but he was only half paying attention to it.

He was more concerned with where he was. It was beautiful. A perfect day, too. The grass and trees moved gently with the wind, and there was no building in sight. The only possible sign of civilization was the group of people he had woken up next to. Was this his group? He didn't recognize anybody. He didn't recognize this place. His thoughts were all jumbled, confused: it was a familiar feeling.

A large sword was stuck in the ground next to the tree. He went to retrieve it. The creature was saying, "Hey, you need to pay attention to me!" and stomping its feet. He rested his hand on the hilt of the sword, feeling like he should know something about it, but not knowing anything at all. He had no knowledge of it, no recognition, but why was he immediately drawn to it? He pulled it out of the ground and instinctively swung it around onto his back. Huh.

"You're in charge, huh?" The creature stopped talking for a brief moment, opened it's mouth to speak, but he beat it to it with more questions, "Where are we, then? What are we doing here?" He didn't know, and it seemed that the entire group didn't know, either. One man was yelling at people for answers, and demanding not to be ignored–must be this strange creature's owner. His best guess was they all actually did know each other, and while they were fighting some creature it cast a confuse spell of some sort. But he didn't say that. Maybe he'd bring it up in a minute.

Cloud Strife - Final Fantasy VII

Cloud Strife

< Final Fantasy VII >

MEMORIA

Cloud comes from the small mountain village of Nibelheim. His father died when he was young, and he was raised by his mother. When Cloud was fourteen he learned of Sephiroth, and idolized him. Inspired to become a hero, Cloud left his hometown to join SOLDIER, but he never made it to that level. He became a Shinra infantryman, and met a first class SOLDIER named Zack. The two became friends, and infiltrated a mako excavation facility together.

At the age of sixteen, Cloud returned to his childhood town along with both Zack and Sephiroth to investigate a damaged mako reactor in the mountains. Tifa acts as their guide. Embarrassed by his lowly infantryman status, rather than being part of SOLDIER like he was aiming for, he hides his identity from Tifa by keeping his face-concealing helmet on. When the group reaches the reactor, Sephiroth discovers Professor Hojo's experiments with Jenova, returns to town and locks himself in Shinra Manor, where he learns more details of the experiments and his involvement in them. Enraged, he destroys Nebelheim, setting the town aflame, and killing Cloud's mother. Cloud confronts and defeats Sephiroth at the reactor, much to Sephiroth's surprise. Both Zack and Cloud are gravely wounded.

Professor Hojo takes the two back to Shinra Manor and makes them into experiments, injecting them with Jenova cells and exposing them to mako. They are deemed failures and left in pods for four years in the basement, when Zack eventually breaks free. He helps Cloud, who has not recovered and is in a vegetative state. After a year of running, Shinra forces catch up to them and kill Zack. Cloud is ignored. Due to the trauma, Cloud's memories are twisted, and he takes on Zack's personality, presenting himself as a former 1st class SOLDIER and mercenary for hire. He has inconsistent memories and periods of blackouts, none of which he remembers.

He joins the group AVALANCHE which ultimately leads to his pursuit of Sephiroth. During a series of adventures, he eventually regains his memories. He meets Aeris and agrees to become her bodyguard in exchange for a date. The AVALANCHE group returns to Nibelheim and discovers the town has been replaced by imposters, to cover up what Sephiroth did. Traveling to the Temple of the Ancients, the group learns of Sephiroth's plan to call Meteor, which would wound the planet, and allow him to absorb energy from the Lifestream, effectively becoming a god. Cloud attempts to attack Sephiroth, but due to the Jenova experiments done to him in the Shinra Manor, he is able to be controlled by Sephiroth. The group has to stop him. When he wakes up, he finds that Aeris is gone. The group follows her to the Forgotten Capital, just in time to see Sephiroth impale her from behind. She dies, and Cloud is crushed.

The group continues to pursue Sephiroth. Cloud ends up falling into the lifestream, where he suffers mako poisoning. Tifa stays with him while the group continues to try to stop Sephiroth and the meteor that is now coming toward the planet. The two fall into the lifestream, where Cloud comes to terms with who he really is. The group returns to the North Crater and confront Sephiroth for the "final" time. They defeat him. Cloud follows him spiritually into the lifestream and defeats him there as well. Aeris was able to cast Holy before she died, which saves the planet from the meteor.

Cloud and Tifa build a life together. He sets up a deliver business, and she runs a bar. Although happy, Cloud still has issues with his past, regrets that he can't shake. They take in an orphan, Denzel, who is suffering from a new disease: Geostigma. It's caused by Sephiroth's presence in the lifestream, polluting it. He was able to survive by a strange connection to Cloud- Cloud's memories of Sephiroth allowed his continued existence.

Cloud looks for a cure for Denzel's Geostigma, and ends up with Geostigma himself due to the Jenova cells within him. Three men gather those infected with Geostigma, hoping they will lead them to Jenova's remains. They have several run ins with Cloud, and are ultimately successful in finding Jenova. Cloud and the others are cured of Geostigma by Lifestream-infused water in the church where Aeris used to pray. The leader of the three, Kadaj, is able to merge with the Jenova remains, which brings Sephiroth back in physical form. Cloud battles him again, and nearly dies, but the thought of his friends and how important they are to him gives him the strength to win. Sephiroth disappears, leaving Kadaj in his place, who subsequently dies.

Cloud now has a better outlook on life, no longer feeling overly-guilty for Aeris's death, and cherishes the friends he has.

@tsukune I'm working on a Cloud CS. The biggest problem I'm having is trying to condense his background down to a reasonable size. Could I get away with just putting a link to his wiki?
