CLOUD STRIFE

At the age of thirteen, Cloud left his hometown of Nibelhiem to join the Shinra forces. Circumstances forced him from the army, and the ex-Soldier now wanders the world, a mercenary who will accept any job--if the price is right. Reluctantly allied with the rebel force Avalanche, the fiercely independent Cloud joins their fight to preserve his planet's mako energy. Cloud cleaves enemies in twain with gigantic double-handed swords.

RED XIII

Red XIII is a ferocious beast with flaming red fur. Despite his bestial appearance, he is amazingly eloquent and fantastically intelligent - an astronomer, no less. His kind can live for hundreds of years. Red XIII is super-intelligent and currently resides with the Shinra Corporation (as a pet). This information, coupled with his name, "Red XIII," make it seem that he is a genetic experiment of the Shinra Corporation- perhaps the thirteenth of his kind? This explanation accounts for his tattooed "serial number," intelligence, and unique appearance.

CAIT SITH

Cait Sith tells fortunes from his booth at a gargantuan entertainment complex, the Gold Saucer.

He also has a slot machine attack with several random (and interesting) attacks.

CID HIGHWIND

Foul-mouthed but kind-hearted, Cid can pilot any machine known to man. He was a test pilot for Shinra's rocket in the past, but had to abandon his dreams of flying into space when Shinra cut funding to the project. Today, he is mayor of Rocket Town, where he can be always be found with his goggles, aviator jacket (with "High Wind" and "Air Master" patches), and several packs of cigarettes. Don't let his agitating attitude put you off; Cid truly has a heart of gold.

VINCENT VALENTINE

Vincent is shrouded in mystery: cool, calculating, and stoic, his black robe hides all emotion--save his eyes, with their icy, piercing, continual gaze. With a quick wit and deadly aim, Vincent is one to be feared. His metallic claw and strange powers were forced upon him when the Shinra Corporation performed hideous experiments on his body. A single bullet is all he needs to kill.

YUFFIE KISARAGI

Yuffie is the direct descendant of a tradition-bound ninja clan--but she could care less about "tradition." She forcefully joins Avalanche, hoping to use them to obtain an unknown object. She is sly and completely self-centered, and her young age leads to brash decision-making and tumultuous relationships. Her powerful weapons, however, make her a useful member.
