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

Weapons:

Weapon Name: Masamune

Weapon Description:
A nine foot Nodachi (called Katana for generality sake) which can only be wielded by Sephiroth. Masamune is simple in design, but the sword's craftsmanship shows beauty and elegance rivaled by no other. The power laden in Masamune is unknown, but through example is it fearsome when used by Sephiroth.

Unique Notes:
The Masamune itself seems to bare no extra abilities, but time and time again has shown itself to be no ordinary blade with the feats it and Sephiroth perform. Masamune appears in Sephiroth's hands on command.

Abilities:

AP: 0

Base Ability: Descendant from Calamity (Dark Harbinger)

Sub Abilities:

Sin Angel:
At any moment Sephiroth may choose to bring Masamune up in a guarding position, air or ground, and use this attack. The raising of Masamune at an angle is the only indication this attack is about occur. Whether on air or ground, Sephiroth shoots toward the target with great speed, already beginning the attack. Sin Angel is a series of seven rapid sword strikes, the first three carrying the brunt of the attack while the last four are much faster but significantly weaker. The first three strikes will give a great deal of damage, however they are a bit easier to block than the last four if Sin Angel is intercepted. The last four strikes will leave a moderate amount of damage and are nearly impossible to block if the entire attack goes on without being interrupted.

To minimize received damage the target must block the first three attacks with an ability of Strong power or above, in a defensive motion, otherwise the last four attacks will break through the offensive motion against Sephiroth (he's moving faster than them at that point, if not stopped the attack continues).
The only other way to stop Sin Angel is to predict the attack coming, if Sephiroth can never position himself adequately then Sin Angel will not be used (distance is required, minimum roughly the length of Masamune).

Strength: Weak (2 AP)
Uses: Eight post cool-down between use.

Super Nova:
Sephiroth's free hand reaches up towards the sky and summons a black cloud cover, however if inside a building/cave/etc whatever is above Sephiroth will be encased in darkness. The actual attack is a series of ten high speed meteors (ten feet in diameter and incredibly hot) that explode on impact, the area of the explosion roughly 20 feet. Receiving damage from just one meteor can be devastating as the rest will quickly hone in.

During this attack Sephiroth is left unguarded the turn he calls down the meteors. The opponent can choose to attack Sephiroth then and attempt to stop the attack from happening, in order to do so the opponent must inflict an attack of Strong level or equivalent (A damage needed is actually of Moderate level, but because of Godskin+, a Strong level attack is required). The meteors cannot move farther than one hundred yards from Sephiroth, and explode at the end of second turn whether coming into contact with the target or not (Sephiroth is no longer immobile on the second turn).

Strength: Weak (2 AP)
Uses: Five post cool-down between uses.

Shadow Flare:
With a clenched fist, normally his right, Sephiroth calls light and darkness to this hand. The resulting gathering of energy is enormous, such that it exerts a pull on light objects around it (pebbles, leafs, paper scraps, flaps of clothing, etc).

Sephiroth shoots five orbs of light and darkness from his right hand, of which he guides to a location. At anytime these orbs can split into their equal light and darkness parts, totaling ten smaller orbs (the smaller orbs are of Moderate strength, thus inflict that much damage). The speed at which these orbs travel is roughly 85 mph.

Upon hitting an object the explosion is twenty five feet, thus the damage is highly compact. Anything caught within the explosion will suffer severe physical trauma (effectively physical damage), temporary nausea, and a crushing feeling from the pressure of the attack.

Strength: Strong (6 AP)
Uses: Four post cool-down between uses, which activates after the last orb is used.

Flight:
The only time when Sephiroth's wing is shown and used, is when Flight is activated. Sephiroth's wing is black and located on his right side. While in use Sephiroth can fly as he likes for as long as he likes. Movements Sephiroth makes with his wing are notably faster than when he is on the ground.
The wing cannot be destroyed, and if somehow removed it will grow back into place (due to Jenova's cells within Sephiroth, mixed with Mako energy).

Strength: N/A (No AP used)
Uses: The Wing can be called out and in at a whim. The Wing disappears while in battle and cannot be used until the battle is over or he is fleeing.

God Skin+:
A legendary SOLDIER First Class, Sephiroth is not only offensively overwhelming, but possesses a defense that at first is not apparent. An attribute of Sephiroth's defense is not just his "vitality" or ability to endure, but his body and skin's nature to endure damage. Through extreme Mako exposure and his own immeasurable strength from Darkness, Sephiroth's latent power at any time is what powers this "durability".

Magical/Physical Blunt/Physical Sharp,Bladed,Edged,etc attacks are affected in this manner: Strong->Moderate, Moderate->Weak, Weak->Minimum. Minimum is half the damage of a Weak attack, hence a scratch (normal damage attacking works in the Minimum damage rule). Appropriately as has been said, attack caliber is affected, powerful strong abilities are only strong, strong are comparable, etc. Magic is also affected in this, Firaga does only the effect of Fira in physical damage (situated to all spells in this format).

Status abilities are not affected by this ability.

Strength: Strong (6 AP)
Uses: Passive Ability

Items: N/A

Equips:
Invincible An attack/ability from the opponent does no damage to the user. The user cannot move when used. Two time use per battle and only lasts 1 post.

Resistance B
All status effects on the user are half as effective.

History:
Once a great hero of the military group SOLDIER, Sephiroth was the result of experimentation with the cells of "Jenova" placed into a human body during the fetal process. Also during this process he was exposed to large amounts of Mako energy, further strengthening him. For sometime Sephiroth lived contently amongst others, respected by all, though seen as an elitist for his attitude. In terms of skill and power he was far above the other SOLDIER, earning his reputation easily. All was well until one fateful day though in Nibelheim, the former hero went insane and nothing has been the same since. In a rampage he destroyed the town and broke into the Mako reactor on the mountain, where he found the body of Jenova. After learning the truth and mysteries of his life, Sephiroth made a great misjudgment and thought Jenova was his real mother. Then he learned that her purpose was to destroy all of the life on the worlds and use them as vessels to "The Promise Land". Thus Sephiroth declared he would finish the job for her. Shortly after wards though he was severely wounded by Cloud Strife and then tossed into the Lifestream.

Sephiroth's war against the planet had only begun. Even asleep, he prepared for his awakening through Jenova's illusions and clones all throughout the planet. Provoking and manipulating Cloud and his new companions, Sephiroth eventually managed to get Cloud to give him the black materia, and call Meteor to wound the planet. In a final act of revenge Sephiroth wounded Cloud far deeper than anything else could, in the City of Ancients.

All looked well for Sephiroth as he continued to be two steps ahead of Cloud and company, while Meteor ventured closer and closer to Midgar and the planet. To the City of Ancients and the North Crater again, Cloud and company came. However this time they defeated not only Jenova, but Cloud specifically defeated Sephiroth. Sephiroth's goal was ended the planet saved.

This fact has not discouraged Sephiroth however. Ever since he has pursued and tormented Cloud, and now wishes to destroy Cloud's new reality of happiness and light in order to show him that he too is a being of darkness and a son of Jenova. Though in the last two fights Sephiroth did not manage to show Cloud this, in Radiant Garden he and Cloud left unfinished business that Sephiroth see to it gets completed.

Recently, the rumor is that a certain man in black has awoken from his "slumber" and is residing in The World that Never Was and this time he may not be alone. What Sephiroth deems to do is certainly something that concerns all worlds, but most of all Kingdom Hearts. Whether he is looking for Cloud, The Promise Land, or is interested in Kingdom Hearts is unknown.

For this Sephiroth, Those Chosen by the Planet will be his general theme.
One Winged Angel is more of a battle theme. (Crisis Core theme just for fun.)


The note about The World that Never Was is an RP offer to anyone willing to do so. Please private message me and I will answer to the first message.
