~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Physical appearance ~ : Yazoo is often called the most effeminate of the group and it's easy to see why. The middle brother is the tallest of the three, with a generally lithe and athletic build. His face is heart-shaped and his features are softly delicate. He is arguably the most reminiscent of Sephiroth in his poise and his facial features are by far closer to Sephiroth's. His hair is considerably longer than his brothers' and his eyes are sharper rather than rounded. He moves in a way that defines him from his two brothers. Yazoo moves with a purposeful grace and calculation, as contrasted with the very different appearances of his brothers. Furthermore his physical flexibility and speed are natural components that are always apparent in his outward appearance.

Clothing/Accessories ~ : Yazoo's outfit is similar to those of his brothers' though slightly longer and with more flow. His pants fit slimly around his legs ending in calf-high boots. His coat is long, with its tails dangling below his knees. A zipper is run up the center, ending in a collar that tightly hugs his neck. On either shoulder is a black shoulder pad, strapped down with a leather cross-strap across his chest and back. A holster rests at his waist behind his back. The entire outfit is styled in black leather.

~Personality~

As you're walking through the door, you see many sights that influence your mood. The different feelings that suddenly wash over you are many, leaving you with a strange mix of emotions.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Alignment ~ : Evil

Behavior ~ :Silent, detached, and arrogant. These are the words that describe Yazoo best. He is often deeply introverted, and his brief forays into the world of everyone else are often strange and unexpected. He is arrogant like only someone of Sephiroth's caliber could be. He laughs at enemies openly without reservation, preferring to play just out of reach and taunt them before ultimately tearing them down. In confrontation Yazoo is confident to the point of deepest arrogance. Even when vastly outmatched and fighting with full strength, the simple way he fights is soaked in that very arrogant nature.

He is surrounded by an uncanny charismatic aura, which is strange considering his cold and impersonal demeanor. People are often attracted to his presence and sway under his influence, something that Yazoo reaps all possible benefits. Yazoo often takes great consideration into how to garner maximum advantage over his opponent.

Perhaps most strangely is the fact that Yazoo is a team player. This is displayed often and in many different ways. Yazoo does almost any task for the greater benefit of the group and finding mother. Still more impressive for one who would seem as such a loner is that he can coordinate a strong team effort with his brother Loz whenever he may want to.

But what should be taken into most account is the rarest aspect of Yazoo's personality. His passion. Yazoo is a deeply passionate being, fully capable of expressing the most extreme of emotions. When his emotion comes bubbling up it is always a fearsome sight. A simple frown is usually enough to send men reeling, but when things get any further the results are inestimable. Such things as insulting Mother and destroying his gun are possibilities that have roused this passion in the past.

~Weapons~

Suddenly, a Heartless appears in front of you, brandishing its claws and threatening to attack. You reach for your weapon and equip it, ready to defend yourself.

[Velvet Nightmare]
A strange new take on a classical idea, the velvet nightmare, is a reimagining of classic gunblade design. With a heavy focus on the firearm aspect of the gunblade, the blade has been reduced to running parallel the length of the gun instead of being fully sized. There are two barrels, one above the other, which combines an increased load size with a perfectly centered accuracy. The density and craftsmanship of the gun is perfect in its execution. The gun can withstand incredibly strong blows from all manners of enemy attack while still maintaining its perfected capability of ranged combat.

If that's not enough intensity for you, how about this: he has two of them.

~Abilities~

Just as you're about to fight the creature, you feel the power of your ancestors filling you. The strength of a thousand men courses through your veins as you prepare for battle.

Speed of a Legendary Hero:
With physical mobility and poise surpassing human limits Yazoo is faster and more accurate in both mind and body than any trained athlete will ever be. Though not necessarily applying to an ability to travel long distances on foot at high speed, Yazoo's agility lets his physical motions seem like shadowy blurs to human eyes. His extreme acrobatic movements are amplified by his pace and ability to react almost instantly to the world around him. The silver-haired gunner can process information and think faster than normal as well, making him quick in more ways than one.

Strength: Strong
Uses: This ability is a constant passive effect

Deadeye:
Activating this skill alters the anatomical construction of the eye. By increasing pupil size to take up a mass proportion of the eye, and then going one step further to eliminate all of the cone cells in an eye and replacing them with rods. By doing this Yazoo becomes so light sensitive that his sense of visible perception goes far beyond most imaginable standards. This comes with several advantages and disadvantages. First, Yazoo gives up color vision in order to become so sensitive to light and motion. But in respect to this, he gains such sensitivity that even without color he is receiving vastly more amounts of information than regular. In order to compensate for this mass amount of information, the brain acts irregularly quickly, interpreting the visual display far faster than normal so he sees as if looking on in slow motion. However, the major disadvantage is directly linked to the major advantage. Because he is so much more sensitive to light, any dramatic changes in light will temporarily blind him, leaving him vulnerable.

Strength: Moderate
Uses: Yazoo can activate and deactivate Deadeye at will, though it can not be maintained for more than seven consecutive turns. To use Deadeye again he must first wait a number of turns equivalent to the number spent with the ability in use.
