~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Primary Weapon (s)
[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.Secondary Weapon(s)
ID: Gun Bike
A two-wheeled motor-powered vehicle with a dark, sickly green-tinted covering. The Gun Bike is capable of carrying only one adult human passenger comfortably(Though another could squeeze on) and can go many miles per hour at top speed. There are four barrels mounted on the front of this bike in a square formation. These are capable of firing rounds of bullets one after the other while the vehicle itself is either stationary or in motion.

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.
Mother's Guidance
A sensitivity born within Yazoo's body. With this power it is as if his body is made up entirely of nerves, even his clothes... the most basic and vague movements of the air, the smallest of indiscernible vibrations in the earth below his feet... the heart rate and blood pressure of a person he touches; all of this become apparent to Yazoo at the moment this skill activates. During its use Yazoo's body will emit a faint light, like a prickling of many small, dark purple sparks. Even if it is not intentional this ability always exists subconsciously in Yazoo's mind and if danger should present itself that he would otherwise be unaware of it may come on fully to his conscious mind on it sown to warn him, so long as the power is available. Yazoo's heightened ability to feel the environment and people around him stretches out within a range of three meters. Blurry, vague feeling may exist for another meter beyond that.
Strength: Weak
Uses: Mother's Guidance lasts for 3 turns in a row at most and requires a three turn wait before he can use it again.
Paragon of Grace
With super humanely perfect and agile movements and control Yazoo is capable of performing acts of gunplay that few could ever hope to mimic. As just a small example, Yazoo is capable of firing a bullet from a his guns at know exactly how many times and at what angles the bullet will bounce while still retaining attack-level speed just by the distance and the type and angle of the surface his shot will hit at. With perfect accuracy he can bounce a bullet up to three times across solid surfaces at controlled angles to attack enemies from unpredictable directions, even going around shields, to pummel them with shots all over.
If he combines this ability with his two guns and superhuman speed Yazoo can even time his shots so that in a sequence of twelves straight bullets each one lands directly dead-center behind the other as the hit their target, stacking them all into a perfect line of pinpoint power concentration. While only possible on a target that isn't moving at all in the time of the attack, stacking all twelve together can drill right through any physical shielding. It would only take six stacked to drill through the normal metals in armour and shields.
Strength: Weak
Uses: As techniques that rely solely on Yazoo's gun-handling the only limitations on their performance are his bullets and his targets.
Minions
Grade: B
Name(s): Shadow Creepers
Appearance(s): Shadow Creepers are canine-like beasts a little larger than a wolf. They bear a scaly skin rather than fur and a dragon-like plated head.
Abilities:
Beast Strength
The Shadow Creepers are physically powerful in their feral nature, capable of running long distances at motorcycle speeds and utilizing their teeth and claws with fairly impressive strength behind them.
Strength: Moderate
Uses: Passive
Elemental Weakness: Light
History: Utilizing the strength of darkness along with another mysterious power a new form of being is created by the brothers, appearing up from their own shadows. This being is similar to a Heartless in that it is darkness made flesh... but it lacks any desire other than to do its creator's will.
