~CLOUD STRIFE~    

NAME: Cloud Strife AGE: 21 WEAPON: Sword HEIGHT: 5'7" B-DAY: August 19 BIRTHPLACE: Nibelheim BLOOD TYPE: AB DESCRIPTION: Cloud Strife is the main character of the game; the hero. He used to be in SOLDIER, or so he says. IF you've finished the game (or beat Disc 2), you know that Cloud just pretended that he's a SOLDIER member because he was ashamed or somethin'. Really, he was only one of those Shinra soldiers (in blue uniforms). Because of the whole Sephiroth incident, he obtained the personality of his friend Zack, who was in SOLDIER. Later in Disc 2, you find out more about this.

 CLOUD'S PAST SELPHIE: *phew* This one will take a while to type. Cloud grew up in a town called "Nibelheim". He was a loner; he had no friends. Even if Tifa was in the same hometown as his, they like never really hung out with each other as kids. She'd just always hang out with these 3 guys. One day, she like went to Mt. Nibel (that big scary mountain behind Nibelheim) because she wanted to find her dead mother's soul (has to do with some superstitious belief). Her 3 friends went with her, but soon got scared and ran off. But Cloud, who was like secretly following behind, stayed. Unfortunately, the bridge (some bridge...) breaks, and leaves poor Tifa in a coma. All the adults blame Cloud for this; thinking it was his idea to bring Tifa there. After Tifa regains consciousness and such, Cloud tells her to meet at the well at night because he has something to tell her. At the well, he announces that he's going to join SOLDIER, and become a big hero just like his hero *ugh* Sephiroth. Actually, all the boys in town are doing this. So like Cloud goes to Midgar to enlist in SOLDIER. Since you know, he wants to impress Tifa so much and prove to her that he's as great as those 3 guys she hangs out with (or something like that) he took place in a certain Hojo experiment. Hojo got a bunch of guys and injected Jenova into them, thinking they'd result into strong, Sephiroth clones. Cloud, however, ended up to be a "failed experiment". Since Shinra didn't think he wasn't strong enough, he didn't make it into SOLDIER. He was still with Shinra, however. He became one of those blue-uniform guys ^^;; Since he was pretty ashamed that he didn't get into SOLDIER, during the visit to Nibelheim with Sephiroth (there have been complaints about monsters) he hid his face so that Tifa or anyone wouldn't recognize him. I guess absence makes the heart grow fonder, 'cause Tifa was pretty upset that Cloud wasn't there. Anywayz, Zack (a member of SOLDIER), Sephiroth, Cloud, and the other blue-uniformed soldier were headed to the Mako reactor in Mt. Nibel; believing this is the reason why monsters have been appearing. They also hire Tifa as their guide throughout Mt. Nibel. At the reactor with Sephiroth & Zack, they find out that the monsters ARE being created at the reactor. Sephiroth then goez crazy, thinking he was created like this. He goes into the old Shinra mansion, locking himself in the basement library and trying to figure out his past ^^;; Soon, Sephiroth finds out the truth; that he was one of Hojo's experiments, and he's the son of Jenova and blah. This is the point where Sephiroth like goez insane ^^; He burns down Nibelheim the next day, kills Tifa's dad, slashes Tifa, almost kills Zack, and heads to the reactor to free Jenova (she's being kept here if I didn't mention that). However, since Cloud has some Jenova cells in him, even if Sephiroth pokes a sword through him, he doesn't die. He throws Sephiroth into some water-stuff in the reactor (hurray!). Afterwards, Cloud hands Tifa to Zangan (irk, forgot his name!) and Zack & Cloud run out of the reactor before Shinra catches up with them (they're pretty angry at them for killing their elite soldier Sephiroth ^^;). Cloud is pretty weak (I would be, too, if a sword was stabbed through me), and Zack and him head to Midgar. Zack is doing all the talking; saying he wants to be a mercenary and junk. On their way to Midgar, Zack is like practically carrying Cloud when Shinra soldiers barge in and shoot Zack pointblank @_@;; They don't bother shooting Cloud, thinking he's in pretty bad shape anyway. Cloud then obtains Zack's personality and junk, without knowing it. *fallz over and gasps* The rest? Play the game and find out ^_^ ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ WANT FOR INFO?
