About

A former soldier who has now been dead for five years. After traveling the Lifestream he gained the knowledge of the Ancients and all who came after.

Armed with this knowledge he now sees himself as a god and wants to test the limits of his power and exist forever. To accomplish this he intends to absorb the Lifestream and fuse with his planet.

Powers

SOLDIER

Sephiroth is an enhanced warrior with superhuman levels of strength, speed, and dexterity. He can wield his sword, the Masamune in either hand (though he favors his left) and with it, he can cut through solid steel faster than the human eye can see. His strength is such that he can tear down walls with his bare hands. He is also highly resilient, able to survive getting stabbed in the back with a wide-bladed buster sword.

GENIUS LEVEL INTELLECT

Even before he fell into the Lifestream, Sephiroth was a master tactician and manipulator. He is easily able to read people, assess situations, and form plans.

SORCERY

After gaining knowledge from the Lifestream Sephiroth became a powerful sorcerer. He knows how to cast spells like the Ancients did, without the use of materia. His spells cover the usual range of spells in his world: Gravity, fire, ice, lightning, poison, barriers, time alteration (more accurately adjusting speed of movement, not actual time travel), and healing. In addition to elemental magic, he can magically summon and enhance the Masamune and fire off beams of energy from the blade.

His favorite type of magic is illusions. Illusions tend to take hold of people infected with Jenova cells most easily but anyone can be subjected to them. They become more intricate the closer someone gets to Sephiroth's body. Someone on the other side of town from him might get an auditory hallucination while someone standing beside him can be walked through complex, highly detailed scenes.

LIMIT BREAK

When under duress Sephiroth is able to use his signature spell: Super Nova. While it is infamous as the spell that demolishes entire planets it will be nerfed down to its more modern representation which is a blinding explosion of non-elemental damage around a target that might leave them confused if they survive. It might cause localized damage to a street if it fires off.

PSIONICS

Sephiroth is able to use psychic powers that range from reading the emotions of others to telekinetic levitation. He can hurl objects as big as buildings using only his mind and conjure storms by moving weather around. As with his illusions, his psychic powers are stronger the closer to him someone is.

TELEPORTATION

He can teleport himself and others. In combat this is usually used to close in on someone quickly. The ability will be adjusted to only let him teleport somewhere he's already been.

XENOBIOLOGY

As a creature created from the cells of Jenova, Sephiroth is physically unique. It's never confirmed that he has darkvision but given his slitted pupils and Jenova's nature, it's likely. His senses are also heightened beyond those of a human and he is resistant to poisons and diseases. A major aspect of his strong will and alien biology is his ability to control anything with Jenova cells through a phenomenon called the Reunion instinct. Beings with stronger wills have an easier time resisting him, and some are able to do so completely. Weaker-willed beings are lost to madness. Sephiroth can plant ideas in those with Jenova cells, issue vague commands or take direct control over their bodies. He can even shape-shift some into his likeness or call their bodies towards his own to take over their cells and rejuvenate himself. The Reunion instinct allows Sephiroth to be immortal but only when there are many other Jenova hosts running around with cells to exploit. This means if he ever cheats death via the Reunion in Expiation it would be after a lot of planning and setup on his part (none of his powers make it easier for him to spread cells) and it would only work once. It's mentioned here for completion's sake and because it is a core aspect of his canon's story. Like the other Jenova Projects, his strange biology also allows him to manifest a single black wing. He can fly with it but it only seems to work across short distances, the same as his telekinetic levitation.
