Name: Genesis Rhapsodos
Age: 25
Sex: Male
Physical Description: Genesis appears to have exceptionally bright mako eyes, and bears a single black wing which sprouts from his left shoulder, in contrast to Sephiroth, of course. His age is thought to be around 25 years in age, and as of now, he accepts that rumor as a true age since having not changed in physical appearances since his very first appearance within Zack Fair's life in Crisis Core, all the way through Vincent's side-story many years later in Dirge of Cerberus. He holds a signature weapon like either of his two closest friends Angeal and Sephiroth. His is a broadsword with a rapier-guard hilt with very intricate workings on his blade meant for some sort of purpose, presumably a materia such as Fire Blade, Fira Blade, or even Firaga Blade. Beyond all of this, Genesis keeps himself most closely resembled to Sephiroth, with black clothing as his base outfit which is most likely just the SOLDIER 1st Class uniform. The only main difference and the greatest distinction being that Genesis has his red leather coat which fanclub members have been reported to wear in memory of his would-be death.
Weapons: Genesis' weapon of choice is the Rapier. Though the blade itself resembles more of a Broadsword, the hilt takes the appearance of one. Genesis is able to channel his magic through his blade, possibly due to the Materia placed within it. An interesting thing about his Rapier is the fact that when Genesis does this, strange runic symbols appear upon the blade, only for a brief second before the blade becomes illuminated in, seemingly, fire. Also, the Rapier itself or the Materia within it may have a connection to Banora's Gift of the Goddess, the Red Globe. This is sugested when Genesis holds his blade up towards the Red Globe, and the Materia lights up as the Lifestream Energies gather around him.
Personality: Since his 'inevitable' return to the world, Genesis has actually distanced himself from the great epic of LOVELESS, though the final quote of the poem is still often recited for the truth it holds within his living presence:
"Even if the morrow is barren of promises
Nothing shall forestall my return
To become the dew that quenches the land
To spare the sands, the seas, the skies
I offer thee this silent sacrifice"
Picture: Since his return, Genesis has made some edits to his own appearance, such as minor growth of his hair, and a little altering of his red leather coat. Otherwise, all still remains the same.
Custom Title: The Hero of LOVELESS (Ex-title)
History: Following Genesis' birth, unique experiments began in the secret department beneath the Shin-Ra Headquarters, Deepground. Childhood friend of Angeal Hewley, and product of Project G (Gillian). Angeal and Genesis grew up together in Banora Village since they were very young. Angeal's family was poor and common in comparison to Genesis' circumstances as the son of Banora Village's landlord. During the fetal stage, Genesis' genome was seeded with Gillian's DNA by Dr. Hollander, in an attempt to create the ultimate lifeform before Hojo. The attempt was a failure, he had the ability to create clones but not to incorporate others into him as Angeal could. After being labeled a failure, custody over him was given to the landlord of Banora who was allied with Shinra.
Genesis decided to join SOLDIER because he wanted the respect that Sephiroth had. At one time Genesis, Sephiroth and Angeal were all teammates and allies in Shin-Ra's special unit of supersoldiers, SOLDIER. Their relationship was a complex one. Genesis, being extremely jealous of Sephiroth's "fame" was often prone to losing control, however all he wanted to become was a hero. This "fame" seems to imply that there is something connecting them from before either of them joined SOLDIER. A few months prior to the inclusion of Zack Fair in the state of events, we see that Sephiroth and Genesis came close to killing each other in a hologram training exercise of Junon, after Genesis demanded to fight Sephiroth one on one. Despite his wishes, Angeal interrupts the fight, accidentally cutting Genesis' shoulder when he intervenes and ends the battle. Genesis assured the two it was a minor wound, but the wound began to get worse rather than heal. This was the start of a long degradation that would slowly kill Genesis during the next four years.
Unable to accept that he was both inhuman, and a failure, Genesis set out to accomplish the goals of a monster, which are, according to Angeal, "Revenge and world domination." Soon after Genesis is wounded by Angeal's destroyed blade, he is taken to be treated by Dr. Hollander. While being treated, he learns about his birth and the secrets of his body, and seeking to remedy his degradation, allies himself with Hollander. Only a few months after Genesis learns about his origins, he suddenly disappears with Hollander, and a large number of 2nd and 3rd Class SOLDIERs. This was known as the "Mass SOLDIER Desertion Incident". During this period of absence, Genesis creates an army of Genesis Clones, similar to the later Sephiroth Clones, only much more violent.
From here on out, Genesis begins to search for the "Gift of the Goddess" by re-creating the world of LOVELESS. This includes a number of events, such as Genesis murdering his own parents, creating a fort for his army in his own hometown before it's layed flat, and a full-out attack on Midgar itself before confronting his fellow 1st classes as to their roles within the great epic replayed. After a finishing battle with 1st Class SOLDIER Zack Fair in a warehouse in Modeoheim, Genesis falls to a supposed death, not to be seen for some time.
However, Genesis was not finished. His army resurfaces and attacks Shin-Ra across the Planet. Genesis was clearly alive, and inevitably doomed Sephiroth to madness. While at the reactor in Mt. Nibel, Genesis appeared before Sephiroth and Zack, eliminating the latter with a simple cast of Fira. Genesis then begins to tell Sephiroth that he was born from the Jenova Project, thus making Sephiroth the biggest monster of all. It is little more than a week later that Sephiroth is driven to madness, similar in intent to Genesis at that time, and Genesis is not to appear for another four years, though his appearance by age does not change.
In the long run, Zack Fair once again enters the picture, attempting to halt all of Genesis's attempts to re-create this world, or even to just destroy it altogether. The two do battle, once where Genesis enhances his overall self by the means of the Goddess Materia, and then again when Genesis is forced to revert back to his normal self, undegraded and back to the way he was originally so many years ago before the events that led to his degradation occurred. Given his accomplishing fate by Minerva, the Goddess of the planet herself, Genesis was able to keep his life, and was later taken to Deepground by the brothers Weiss and Nero. In the end, Genesis sealed himself away from the world for another number of years, staying in a stasis of suspended animation beneath Midgar.
Now, oddly enough, Genesis now seems intent on protecting the planet, and also has no signs of age over the many years that occurred, and lastly has no signs of degradation.
