Genesis Rhapsodos

[genesis]

Genesis awoke to the sound of rain. He still couldn’t move or find the energy to open his eyes. At first he was content just laying there, his face turned towards the sky, water washing over him. He smiled, knowing he had been returned by the Goddess with purpose. He had successfully re-enacted LOVELESS and received the Gift of the Goddess.

It was the first time he felt content since his days in SOLDIER with Angeal and Sephiroth. Before he found out what they all really were. Before they all knew what experiments they were made subject to. Despite losing them he held memories of them close.

He thought of Angeal, his best friend since childhood. Their journey to SOLDIER first class and all they had learned together. Angeal was always there when Genesis needed him. Even when things went wrong and he left ShinRa, Angeal came after him. He thanked him silently for trying to save him and for always being an honourable man. He felt a tear run along his face. He knew he would never find another friend like him.

His last memory of Zack came to mind. So like Angeal, his mentor. In a way he thought that Angeal had saved him. He trained Zack to be a SOLDIER with honour and to follow his dreams. He had become a true hero thus letting him complete LOVELESS and be restored, not only in body but also in mind. Now he had purpose, to regain his SOLDIER honour.

He pondered what happened to Sephiroth. He knew he played a part in his fall to madness. He knew his mother wasn’t Jenova yet reinforced that belief at the Nibelheim reactor. He wanted so badly to regenerate that he lied to one of his only friends. At the time he wanted Sephiroth’s cells to stop his degradation and nothing else mattered. Sephiroth going mad and butchering an entire town was unexpected. He missed him too, now. He realised that many had died due to his actions in failing both his friends. Even more died when he turned other members of SOLDIER into copies of himself to further his own ends.

Genesis started to realise that in the past 5 years he hadn’t given any thought into his friends beyond their use. It was time to make them proud and regain his SOLDIER honour.

The rain had stopped. “Where am I?” he wondered aloud, he forced his eyes to open and struggled to stand up. He wiped the water from his face and tried to focus on were he was. How strange this place was. He didn’t recognise any of the land around him. After all he had seen, it was strange for him to find a part of the planet so foreign to him. Everything felt wrong about this place. He looked towards the sky and he thought he was still dreaming. “That’s the wrong sky,” he said with a smirk.

He looked back down to get his bearings. He noticed his trusted rapier was only a few feet away, half buried in earth. Curious, he thought that whatever brought him to this place didn’t take his sword and even his materia was still intact. He picked up his sword and set out to discover where he was, thinking that maybe the Goddess brought him to this strange place, where he is needed most.

I'M FROM THE WORLD OF GAIA WHERE I AM AN EX-SOLDIER. I GO FOR GIRLS AND I WILL THROW MY WEIGHT BEHIND REBEL. ------------------------------------------------- Weapon: Rapier: His trusted blood red rapier sword. It has long reach and good at cutting through flesh and steel. Runes made of materia are etched into the blade. Materia: Flare, energy, dualcast, hell firaga, tri fire, regen. Abilities: Apocalypse: Genesis limit break. Causes massive area effect damage. Only useable when his emotions are effected and it’s difficult for him to control. SOLDIER training: Many long years training with SOLDIER and fighting wars have left Genesis with a keen tactical mind and making him well versed in combat using both magic and swords. Super human traits: Received mako treatments as all members of SOLDIER do along with a now stable “G” gene, which are mutated Jenova cells. These make him faster and stronger. Beating black wing: His only physical trait from possessing the "G" gene, this gives genesis even more agility in combat. He can use it to fly distances but only for short periods of time as it does wear him out. Materia: Genesis has a great command of fire magic and keeps his materia to reflect that. This has left him with nullification towards all fire damage. Preferring to only use regen to sustain himself so he doesn't need to stop his attacks. Using his shear power to kill before being killed. Runed sword: Genesis can activate the runes in his sword temporarily by expending his magic to make his sword attacks more powerful. Gift of the Goddess: The full extent of the gift itself is still unknown. It removed his degradation and reset his appearance to that when he was first afflicted with it, as well as brining him back to life. Current active effects: Cauterise wounds: Prevents poison. Perfect balance: Cells do not degrade preventing Genesis from aging. Empathy: Can pass on his skills or abilities to allies for a short time. Long cast time. Loveless: Becomes temporarily immune to all damage and healing. Currently not under his full control. Future effects: (after a lot more experience and admin permission for each) Reap and sow: All fire attacks cause healing instead of damage for a short time. Combustion: Genesis ignites causing fire damage to everything in 10 feet around him. Gift: Genesis sacrifices his health to cure all status ailments, restore health and resurrect an ally, causes unconsciousness for himself. (Useless in combat for rest of thread) Bahamut fury: [system error] Fallen angel: [system error] Personality: Genesis is a man of few words. He never shares his feelings or personal thoughts with anyone except his friends who he chooses with care. He comes across as a cold complicated individual while inside he just wants to explore the world and enjoy life. He has an obsession with the poem LOVELESS. He’s spent his entire life deciphering it meaning. He quotes the poem every time he believes its message is valid. For genesis that is all the time in every situation. His ego is a driving force for his personality. Successfully re-enacting LOVELESS, an almost lifelong obsession of his has not helped this. Being betrayed by his parents and those he worked for has left him rather cold towards others. Trusting only himself and a select few others. He has great confidence in his abilities to deal with any situation. Looking to become a hero to help regain his honour. He wants to become more like Angeal, now before every action he thinks of his SOLDIER honour. He will base all his actions and words on this. He wants to change himself as both a man and as a SOLDIER. History: Genesis was born from the result of Jenova Project G, lead by Dr. Hollander. Gillian Hewley was injected with Jenova's cells, and her cells were then transplanted into Genesis with the plan this would grant him Jenova's abilities. After Genesis's birth, Professor Hojo’s "Project S," which created Sephiroth, was deemed superior, and Project G was shut down. Genesis was labelled a failed experiment and given to a wealthy landlord in Banora to be raised. Genesis befriended only one other child in Banora while growing up. His name was Angeal. They ended up becoming best friends, despite Angeal's family being poor, the two grew up happily. During the Wutai War, Genesis became envious of Sephiroth's fame, and he and Angeal left for Midgar to join SOLDIER. The two eventually became 1st Class and were close friends with Sephiroth, the only two he socialized with in the company on a personal level. During a training exercise between the three, Genesis challenged Sephiroth to a one-on-one duel. The fight began to get out of hand and Angeal intervened. Genesis broke Angeal's SOLDIER sword with his own sword, and the top sliced into his shoulder as it shattered. Genesis assured the two it was a minor wound, but the wound began to worsen rather than heal. The wound had triggered Genesis's flawed genetic structure to begin to degrade, and Hollander, knowing the secrets of Genesis's birth, told Genesis he could heal him. Secretly, Hollander desired vengeance on Hojo and ShinRa, and wanted to prove Genesis was indeed the superior product of the Jenova Project. Under Hollander's orders, Genesis took a large force of 3rd and 2nd Class SOLDIERs and went rogue during the closing stages of the Wutai War. Hollander also vanished, taking with him the technology to produce Genesis Copies - by transplanting Genesis's cells into the SOLDIER members that had followed him, Hollander would grant them Genesis's appearance and abilities, and the two began to build their army. One month later, what would become known as the first stage of the Genesis war, SOLDIER director Lazard sends Zack and Angeal to Wutai to assist in the siege of Ft. Tamblin, and to investigate Genesis's disappearance. During the attack Angeal vanishes, and Zack is assaulted by Genesis Copies. Angeal had joined with Genesis in hopes of saving his friend. Zack and Tseng are later dispatched to Banora to question Genesis’s parents. The town is full of Genesis Copies as well as ShinRa robots stolen from the company, and during the investigation Tseng finds a fresh grave with Genesis's parents. Genesis had killed them as soon as he returned to Banora. Discovered in a warehouse outside of town, Genesis incapacitates Tseng and with the help of Angeal escapes Zack. During those events Gillian Hewley commits suicide for taking part in the Jenova project. Genesis announces that he and Angeal are monsters and flies away. Banora is destroyed to cover up Genesis’s actions there. ShinRa plans to fight the Genesis war out of the public eye with their goal being the death of Genesis and all of his copies. During an attack on ShinRa headquarters, Zack is dispatched to sector 5 reactor to confront Angeal. Sephiroth is also dispatched and confronts Genesis. For the first time he reveals that his end goal is to obtain the gift of the goddess mentioned in LOVELESS. Angeal stops Zack’s pursuit of Hollander, now displaying a wing himself, and knocks Zack into the sector 5 slums, as he needs Hollander in hopes of being cured. Angeal having a change of heart; flies Zack back to the fight to take care of the Genesis copies. Zack, Angeal and Genesis congregate in Hojo’s laboratory. Genesis flees unable to kill Hojo and Angeal and Zack purse him. Genesis summons Bahamut fury to give him time to make his escape. In the aftermath of the battle, news of a base used by Genesis in Modeoheim comes in. Zack and Tseng, accompanied by another ShinRa infantryman and Cloud, investigate, and find Genesis in a Mako excavation facility. Zack finds Genesis confronting Hollander, now degraded to the point his clothing and hair has begun to turn white. Genesis has decided Hollander is useless, failing to help his condition, and declares he will seek Jenova cells to cure him. Hollander protests that no one knows where Jenova is and Genesis says he will destroy the world along with himself then. Genesis duels Zack and is defeated, and throws himself into the depths of the reactor to his apparent demise. Several months later, the Genesis army resurfaces and attacks ShinRa across the Planet. Zack and Sephiroth assist in the defence of Junon where Hollander is being held captive. During the attack he escapes with the assistance of Genesis Copies. At this time, though he is unseen by ShinRa, Genesis is standing atop the Mako Cannon, alive but still degrading. When Sephiroth and Zack are dispatched to Nibelheim to investigate the Mt. Nibel Mako Reactor, Genesis appears to Sephiroth at the reactor's core. He tells Sephiroth about the two Jenova Project branches, G and S, and that as Angeal was the perfect "monster" of Project G, Sephiroth is the product of Project S. Knowing that Sephiroth only knows his mother is named Jenova, Genesis tells him about the origins of Jenova and her hand in their creation. Claiming that Sephiroth is the perfect product of Jenova's cells, Genesis says this means his cells will never degrade and asks Sephiroth to give him his cells as a means of curing his degradation. Sephiroth, confused and angry, refuses, and Genesis departs. His words, combined with what Sephiroth learns about his origins in the ShinRa Manor, eventually spark his descent into madness. After four years of captivity in the aftermath of Nibelheim's destruction, Zack and Cloud break free from ShinRa and escape, but are pursued by two Genesis Copies. As Zack prepares to face off with them, the real Genesis soars down from the sky. Genesis explains he heard Zack was being used for one of Hojo's experiments, Project S, so Zack holds Sephiroth's cells that can cure him. One of the Genesis copies consumes a lock of Zack's hair, but it mutates into a horrible monster and Genesis leaves. When Zack eventually makes his way back to Gongaga, more Genesis Copies attempt to kill him, but are stopped by Genesis and Hollander, now also a Genesis Copy suffering from degradation. Believing Zack's body rejected Sephiroth's cells due to being in SOLDIER; they now seek Cloud and the cells he carries. Genesis declares he has discovered the true final act of LOVELESS and flies away as Hollander and the copies search for Cloud. Zack dispatches Hollander and meets Lazard, an Angeal Copy, who directs him to Genesis's final base - the underground caverns beneath Banora were Genesis and Angeal played as children. In the caverns Zack finds the journal of a younger Genesis before his days as a SOLDIER that describes his invention of Banora White apple juice, along with his desire to share his accomplishments with Sephiroth by having him eat a Banora White. Deeper in the caves Zack finds Genesis before a statue of Minerva, presumably the "goddess" spoken of in LOVELESS. Certain that the Goddess Materia in the statue's grasp is the "gift of the goddess," he quotes LOVELESS again - with Zack's arrival, having inherited Angeal's Buster Sword and Sephiroth's cells, the three friends are reunited and LOVELESS is fulfilled. Believing himself the Hero who has received the goddess's protection, Genesis absorbs the power of the Materia to become Genesis Avatar and engages Zack. When defeated as the avatar, Genesis is returned to human form, fully restored with no signs of his degradation. Zack finally figures out that all Genesis ever wanted was to regain his pride as SOLDIER, and be healed of his degradation. Gathering the last of his strength, Genesis challenges Zack to a final duel as a SOLDIER, and is struck down. Genesis is sent flying back with Zack's final attack, and lands on his feet to find himself in a place flooded with Lifestream. As he looks around, he sees the goddess statue in the distance morph into Minerva. Minerva sees his strong desire to complete his duty as SOLDIER, and as the will of the Lifestream, she allows him to continue living, thus receiving the gift of the Goddess. Weak but alive, Genesis is carried out of the cave. Zack lays him down and retrieves three Banora Whites, taking a bite out of them to fulfil Genesis's dream, though he apologizes for not being the real Sephiroth, only containing the cells. Zack questions Genesis as to the apple being the "gift", but Genesis shakes his head. Content with his pride restored and his dream fulfilled Genesis passes out.
