Character: Sephiroth
Canon: Final Fantasy VII
Canon Point: Arriving at Nibelheim.
CRAU, Canon AU: N/A
Character age: Perpetually [REDACTED] because the canon hates me. Doing some quick timelines maths, however, reveals that he is approximately 22 years old.
Canon Abilities/Powers: Please note that these powers specifically reflect Sephiroth's abilities from his current canon point.
What is their greatest negative emotion towards an object, situation, or person in their past?: There's no denying the simmering hate he has for the head of the science and research department of Shinra, Professor Hojo — the man himself and all he represents to Sephiroth, in regards to association and childhood experience. On a surface level, it's simple to see why: he's unflattering in every aspect of the word. Prideful, obsessive, morally bankrupt, a scientific "hack" (in his own opinion), with no regard for those around him. It's easy to dislike such a figure, but his disgust of the man runs deeper than that, and for altogether more personal reasons: in broad terms, Sephiroth was raised under this man's purview, which included an endless cycle of testing, callous and empirical criticisms, and arguably neglectful attention towards his emotional and social growth. He has been conditioned to see him as an authority figure — and in some indelible way, he still does — but with age comes awareness and clarity, and Sephiroth has grown enough to distance himself from the scientist and his experiences with him, allowing him to become resentful of Hojo's character and how he had to endure it first-hand for years. Sephiroth views him as emblematic of his earlier childhood years, which had become the groundwork laying the path for this deeper character faults (and certain insecurities regarding a sense of self and his inability to connect with others), therefore marking the man as a prevalent, if not negative, presence in his life.
How strongly do they feel about the negative subject matter, on the scale of one to ten?: Around an 8, only because he can force himself to act professionally in his presence if required. This would probably ratchet up to a 10 if he knew the truth about his relation to Hojo, but. Well. Ignorance is its own sort of bliss.
What is their greatest virtue?: His strength of will. This is both a bane and a boon; Sephiroth is determined and hard to faze in the face of danger or insurmountable odds, but it also makes him quietly stubborn and adds to the brewing potential of a slightly obsessive nature. Even so, this virtue generally works in his favor, adding a quality of strength to his character that already appears so unshakeable.
How aware are they of their virtue, on a scale from one to ten?: 4! He is less aware of this trait than he simply is, and if forced to consider it, would label is as nothing more than the expectation of a man raised in the military.
Items:
-A very long sword, Masamune (this may push the limits of about the 7 ft limitation, but just barely! If this is unacceptable, I'll happily edit)
-A fully mastered fire materia
-The clothes on his back (his SOLDIER uniform)

Combat Ability - Sephiroth possesses enhanced speed, strength, agility, resilience, recovery, and combat superiority. Due to the Jenova cells in his body, coupled with the process of infusing Mako into every SOLDIER, these abilities are more extraordinary that of an average human. Sephiroth, in particular, is leagues beyond that of even his fellow SOLDIERs.
Swordsmanship - He excels in swordsmanship, able to utilize his weapon (Masamune) with swiftness and ease. His move set changes depending on which part of the compilation he appears in, but the gist is often the same -- he relies on speed, accuracy, and the guarantee that his blade can cut through almost anything. He's also able to fight reliably mid-air, as well as leap to great heights.
Magic - Excels at utilizing materia to cast magic. These equippable items are mastered, meaning that his spells are more potent than average.
Jenova Cells - With Jenova cells in his own body, specifically S-cells, this dictates that Sephiroth would be able to sense and, with conscious effort, control those who also are also in possession of them. Given his canon point, he is currently unaware of his ability.
