Appearance:
Genesis

Physical Features:
Standing at a exact height of 6' 5" Genesis body structure is appears to be a slim but athletic build. It's enough to give someone like Genesis a wide range of quick movements but still give him the brute force to take down even the strongest of enemies and monsters with ease.

One of most notable and strange things one will notice about Genesis is his large black wing that spreads as far as 12 feet located on the left side of his back sprouting from his crimson red leather coat.
Facial Features:
Although he considers himself to look like a monster Genesis clearly has the face of a angel or at least a J-Rock superstar. With his bright mako green eyes that seem to hypnotize you like a vampire, he could easily sway any fangirl or boy with a smile. But a smile from Genesis leads to a quick death right after that so it's best not to be around whenever he does. His reddish brown hair is feathered and goes down to his mid back area. It's styled with a few spikes here and there with bangs that cover just about his entire forehead but has various lengths that go down.
Clothing:
Somewhat similar to Sephiroth Genesis wears a long crimson red coat with various decorations, red gloves with metal rings worn on each wrist, black clothing underneath which consists of a tight black shirt and a black stomach guard which wraps around his shoulders, black boots, black combat pants shoulder guards, and a large sword. The color scheme is different though, Sephiroths is black and gray while Genesis is black and red. But the clothes don't interfere with his fighting at all, Genesis still has a wide range of movement.

Miscellaneous Items/Articles:

Personality:

Resolve:
The Gift of the Goddess. In his eyes this is the ultimate power that must be acquired in order to become the perfect being surpassing even the mighty Sephiroth. A divine power that surpasses both light and darkness.
Fears:
That he will never receive the Gift of the Goddess and return to being a failure instead of a hero.
Hopes:
To surpass Sephiroth becoming his superior.
Hobbies:
While most villains will just say stuff like plotting to rule the universe or killing, Genesis enjoys reading from his most favorite play LOVELESS.
Public Personality/Private Personality:

When around others Genesis appears to be a poetic sensitive type of person. With his light toned voice and artistic way of speaking one would be surprised to think him as a villain and more like a actor. But when you really get to the very core of Genesis you see this twisted vengeful entity bent on becoming the monster he sees himself as. He is prideful which makes him arrogant at times but always has a calm, cool attitude almost all the time.

.battle.information.
-----------------------
Class: Warrior

Weapons: Rapier

Weapon Name:
Muramasa
Weapon Description:
Though the blade itself resembles more of a Broadsword, the hilt takes the appearance of one. The blade is around four to five feet long, red with the edges being silver all around.
Unique Notes:
An interesting thing about his Rapier is the fact that when Genesis goes to attack someone, strange runic symbols appear upon the blade, only for a brief second before the blade becomes illuminated in red energy making it look like a decorated light saber.

Abilities:

Base Ability: Red Globe

Sub Abilities:
Firagua- Genesis is able to fire multiple blasts of small baseball sized balls of fire that explode upon contact with anything dealing a great amount of damage to whatever comes in contact with it. What makes this attack interesting is Genesis can control the trajectory of the fire for exactly three of his turns, after that the blasts will then go whatever path they are on and can no longer be controlled. The blasts can even reverse its direction and have it go back if it missed its target. Once all the blasts have exploded Genesis must wait two of his turns before he can use it again.

Crimson Blade- A large amount of energy is concentrated into his sword and once swung, unleashes a sharp blade of energy thats about four inches thick and eight feet wide. Its strong enough to cut through buildings and even through his opponents [mainly the mage class] attacks and defenses. But it can't break through defender class defenses, and as for warrior class depending on what kind of defense they have such as a magic barrier or magic attack it will only neutralize it. It takes him three of his turns to use the attack.

Apocalypse- Genesis will fly into the air as a giant magic circle 50 yards in diameter with a pentagram like symbol in the center that appears under all enemies. Genesis will gather energy in his hand which he uses to fire towards the circle detonating it causing a huge explosion resulting in an instant death. Even if they are in the air when the explosion happens the shock wave will deal a large amount of damage to them. The only way to avoid would be to escape and stay out of the area where the circle is before the blasts hits the circle in the next turn or prevent the blast of energy to hit the magic circle which can only be done by the defender class. One time use per battle and Genesis can not use any other abilities for four of his turns.

Items:

Equips:

Super Glide
Essentially, this is flight. Unlike Glide, you can travel at 30 MPH in any direction. You still can't make super sharp turns, but sharper than Glide's. Once initiated, it lasts 5 posts, and cannot be used for 6 of your posts.

.story.mode.
-----------------------
History: Genesis was the result of a experiment to create the ultimate being for a secret organization. But at birth he was tagged as a failed experiment and went on to live a normal life after that. Soon after that he joined an elite army of warriors known as SOLDIER becoming one of the highest ranked members there second only to Sephiroth. He was very envious of Sephiroth and his heroic title, wanting to be a hero like Sephiroth. Genesis soon formed a rivalry with the silver haired SOLDIER but was always in his shadow.

One day while in a training room with Sephiorth, Genesis injured himself and had to be hospitalized. He would then find out about his past as a failed experiment and learned that the only successful one was none other than Sephiroth. Genesis did not take this easily and spiraled down a dark path after that.

Never being able to live up to the heroic greatness of Sephiroth and finding out about himself being a failed experiment, Genesis concluded that he was nothing more than a monster and then chose the path of darkness. After leaving SOLDIER, Genesis went to other worlds killing people and destroying cities in sick and twisted ways. He would later find out that Sephiroth had also turned to the side of darkness thus becoming a monster as well. Then he began to compare the situation that both he and Sephiroth were in to the play LOVELESS believing himself and Sephiroth were playing the roles of the soldiers. Once again a new rivalry came to be between the two SOLDIERs, until one day when he was defeated by the hands of another SOLDIER. Genesis weakened from battle sealed himself deep underground in the caverns of Hollow Bastion to rest.

Many years passed Hollow Bastion undergoing a disastrous change but Genesis remained untouched by this, in fact it made him stronger than ever.

Then after the fight between Cloud and Sephiroth the essence of Sephiroths darkness awakened Genesis from his long slumber. He returned to the outside world reborn ready to show the world what a monster like him could do.

Well, there's a little typo of a block quote bracket in personality, and then your abilities and history are the two things I find to be anything that would stop this otherwise fine canon profile.

The first ability seems reasonable, the wording can get confusing but I know what you mean.

The second ability is ok until you don't specify what it can't beat. What is it not able to stop or go through?

As for your third, the instant death is most likely going to throw up other flags than my own. Is the ability to dodge this attack a big possibility? If not you need to substitute it for some amount of damage and maybe a status affect.

I can see you're making this character like he should be done, which makes me glad. I feared most people would make Genesis rather weak in comparison to others, nice touch.

Could you possibly add more onto his history? Maybe another paragraph? Tie in other events? Not sure how, but the history seems awkwardly short for such an under-rated and awesome character.

Yeah I always seem to have that typo there but I just copy the template code and paste it.

I keep forgetting about the new class system so I never implement that on here, sorry I fixed it though.

The third ability is dodge able just as long as you are either out of the circle before the blast hits in the next turn. The only other way is to prevent the blast from hitting the circle which can only be done by the defender class.

I added some more into his history but I didn't want to get it too closely related to Crisis Core which is why it's so short.

So done and done.

All problems look to be fixed, nice profile Xemnas.

Haha..I was still under the impression of two acceptances.....

Locked, Accepted, Moved. Schebang~
