Abilities and Skills: - Sephiroth is a SOLDIER, the first of his kind. His strength, speed, and endurance are far beyond an ordinary human's; he's survived being stabbed with the Buster Sword and is able to cut through the city of Junon's main cannon in a single swing. As a side effect, his eyes glow green in faint light and his pupils narrow like a cat's when he's particularly angry. - He's an extremely talented swordsman capable of pulling off quite a few unnatural moves (like firing waves of energy from his blade), including special moves like Octaslash (it's...pretty much exactly what it sounds like). He's also somehow able to summon Masamune out of thin air. - He also has three mastered materia attached to his armor/weapons, which let him throw fireballs/chunks of ice/lightning bolts at enemies. - When really pressed, like most everyone from his world, he has a Limit Break. His is called Supernova, and creates a large rapidly-expanding fireball that he can knock people into. - On a somewhat mundane note, he is a soldier, so he's trained in using several different weapons (including his bare hands), leading troops into battle, things like that. There's a reason he held the rank of General, after all.
Sample: (At least three good sized paragraphs. Please set this within the game's multiverse. You may use NPCs or characters already in the game as foils for your character in this sample if you wish. Format is prose, either third or first person.)
The first thing Sephiroth noticed upon stepping onto Bohr wasn't the terrible smell, or even the ramshackle nature of the structure. The first thing he noticed was the palpable air of...well, greed was probably the best way to describe it. The furtive looks, the garish shops, it all reminded him quite a bit of his few visits to Wall Market. He wasn't entirely sure what to do now that his route home had collapsed on him, but he figured he would figure it out soon enough.
Somehow he managed to stride the halls unaccosted, perhaps due to the subtle aura of menace he always gave off when he was annoyed; like he knew at least sixteen ways to kill everyone in his way and only needed to pick the right one. Up ahead there was a loud squeal of metal as some kind of insect-like creature burst from its restraints, giving off a horrible multi-throated shriek and throwing its would-be handler across the corridor with such force that he dented the wall. He didn't get back up. Neither did Sephiroth break his stride.
Once the creature became aware of the SOLDIER it turned to look at him and, being either too primitive or too mad to do otherwise, it let out another shriek and charged. Sephiroth raised his hand palm-first. Once the creature was close enough a small green gem attached to the bracelet on his wrist flared up, and a shard of ice shot down from the sky with enough force to skewer the creature to the deck. He didn't even flinch at killing his first alien. He did, however, turn to address the man who suddenly approached him.
"You seem like a talented gentleman," the man said, glancing about shiftily as if expecting the very shadows themselves to leap out and grab him. "If I might have a moment of your time...?"
For the briefest of instants, Sephiroth considered the proposal. He knew this man's type. AVALANCHE supporters, Wutai remnants...they were all the same. This man too seemed like the kind of fellow who was being hunted by a much stronger enemy. And yet...it wasn't like Sephiroth was going anywhere, was he? Perhaps in time he could find a way back. "I'm listening," the general said at length.
