Name: Genesis Rhapsodos
Nicknames/Alias: Genesis the Red, The Red Knight, Genesis, Rhapsodos, "G"
FF: Final Fantasy VII
Age: 35
Height/build: 6ft 2in, Muscular.
DoB: Unknown.
Race: Human/Jenova hybrid
Weapon(s): Rapier
A custom-made one- or two-handed rapier used by genesis. Sturdy and solid, it is an exquisite and unique weapon largely associated with Genesis. When not wielding it, Genesis can "dismiss" the weapon and summon it seemingly at will, making it an ideal weapon in almost any situation simply due to his ability to always have it with him. Combine this with the fact that Genesis soldier training has made him proficient with a large variety of firearms and swords, and Genesis even disarmed is a severe threat.
Level: 67
Strength: 201
Physical: 65
Magical: 65
Agility: 69
Special Skill(s):
Limit Break: True Black Wing of Destruction: Tapping into the dark power of his JENOVA blood, Genesis summons his wing (or empowers it if it is already summons) and gains a sinister black aura. In this state, Genesis overall abilities are greatly boosted.
Apocalypse:[/i](usable only during true wing of destruction limit break)[/i] Genesis charges a tremendous amount of magical energy and releases it, creating a massive "seal" in the air that rains down powerful blasts of destructive, non-elemental energy, dealing extreme non-elemental damage on hit. Can only be used once per limit break
Black Wing of destruction: As a result of his JENOVA heritage, Genesis has developed the ability to summon a large, black angelic "wing" from his left side/shoulder. The wing, on its own, is intimidating, but it also grants Genesis powerful flight abilities while the wing is active. Genesis can un-summon the wing on command, but loses his flight ability while it is not active.
+Black Wing Fury: While Genesis wing is summoned, he is capable of altering the feathers of the wing into small, dark-based projectiles. These feathers can be launched at a target to inflict heavy dark-based damage and inflicting curse on the target, lowering their stats
Vorpal Blade: Genesis is able to charge his weapon, the rapier, with non-elemental magic energy. When charged, the weapon glows a brilliant shade of red, and its attack power is increased. When in this state, Genesis weapon is capable of releasing cuts, slashes and thrusts as "projectiles", giving Genesis the ability to physically attack targets at a distance.
Vorpal Slash: (Usable only when Vorpal blade is active). Instead of releasing a single projectile cut with a slash, Genesis swings the rapier once, releasing a torrent of magic "cuts" in a direction to attempt to hit for medium-to-heavy physical damage.
JENOVA enchancement: As a result of his genetic enchancements from his JENOVA DNA, Genesis has strength, speed, stamina and reflexes beyond that of a normal person and even most 1st class members of SOLDIER.
Magic:
*Mid- to high-level black magic (Thundaga, Blizzaga, Firaga, Scourge, Quake, Scathe, Meltdown, Paralyze, Blind, Sleep, Pain)
*Mid- to high-level white/support magic (Curaga, Dispel, Haste, Esuna, Libra, Wall, Reflect, Double, Triple, Enthunder, Enblizzard, Enfire, Enwater, Enaero, Enearth, Endark, Enholy, Blink, Sneak, Invisible)
Summon: N/A
Appearance: Genesis appearance is what one might expect of a legendary soldier. Tall and Strong, his body is toned and scarred much like one would expect of a battle-hardened warrior. His face, however, reflects something slightly different: A pale, youthful and confident vigor. Genesis also possesses striking brown hair, and has a liking for the color "red" when worn alongside the standard black uniform (as is seen in his trademark red coat).
Personality: Genesis is, like many people, an exceedingly complex individual. Like many others however, Genesis could be looking at as having two "sides" much like a coin. On the one side is the exterior that those who grew up with Genesis know well. Confident (almost to being arrogant), intelligent and well-spoken, this individual is a charismatic and enticing individual who could bring out the best (and sometimes worst) In others. In a way, he was a natural-born leader (as demonstrated by his ability to convince a large number of SOLDIERs to defect at the end of the wutai war). This extended into a natural ability to act as well, as Genesis demonstrates with his very accurate understanding of the play known as "loveless".
Like every coin there is another side, however, and Genesis other side is the one that even his closest friends may not recognize. Intense self-reflection and scrutiny has caused the now middle-aged genesis to have a much more calm wisdom about him. The ability to look at his own past "without bias" (as he puts it) has given the man a deep-set sense of duty and responsibility for his actions. The former SOLDIER's arrogance has now been replaced with a sense of guilt for the atrocities he is directly (and indirectly) responsible for. As time passes, it is unclear which side of this coin may become the "true" side, but even Genesis believes that eventually he will become a mix of the two.
Or, at least, he hopes to live long enough for that to happen.
History:
Genesis, while being raised as the son of a merchant noble in the small town of banora, was hardly born a normal boy. one of two individuals created as the result of the "G" project, Genesis was created by Shin-ra's Dr.Hollander in opposition to the single Dr. Hojo's "S". Project, the purpose of Genesis existence was simple:
To be the strongest soldier ever to exist.
To that end it is debatable whether or not Genesis actually succeeded in that regard. While he was indeed one of the strongest 3 SOLDIER heroes to ever live, it is widely regarded that his peer, Sephiroth, took the title of strongest along with the unfortunate madness that came along with it. Genesis was regarded by the scientific field as a "failure" due to his unstable genetic structure and the deadly degradation that came with it without the infusion of new JENOVA cells. Genesis did, however, leave his mark on history as having at least greatly influenced the events of the world, including setting his own friend Sephiroth on the path to madness.
Genesis first major influence outside of SOLDIER took place during the "mass defection" of SOLDIER members that took place during the ending days of the wutai war. Genesis was largely responsible for the mass defection and, worse still, the creation of a copy army in his likeness through the use of technology created by Dr.Hollander. These events led to what was later known as the "Genesis crisis" that led to events including the defection and (supposed) death of 1st class SOLDIERs Sephiroth and Zack Fair, as well as the deaths of numerous others. At the end of this event, Genesis seemed to vanish from all known record, and it was believed at the time that he was killed and his information simply destroyed by Shin-Ra to cover their tracks.
Recently, however, documents recovered by the WRO during the deepground crisis indicate that Genesis death was in fact false, and that the only surviving member of the G-project was very much alive in stasis deep within the underground facility deepground. According to study data also recovered, Genesis (otherwise known as subject "G") had somehow undergone astonishing changes even before his arrival at the deepground facility. Genesis not only had apparently gotten stronger, but also had his genetic code "stabilized", and thus lost his ability to imbue others with his genetic code at the cost of sparing him from the agonizing death of genetic degradation. Not much else was discovered, however, as by the time WRO officials had reached what was believed to be the resting place of subject G, he was nowhere to be found. the WRO then re-classified Genesis as MIA (missing in action) before closing the case. This was two years before "the merge", and no one believed Genesis would return from the shadows to wreak havoc on the world...
They were very wrong on both his return and his motivations.
Genesis, since the merge, has become a much more active in worldly affairs. roughly three months after the merge, reports from several groups all indicated that a certain "black-winged, red-haired man" was already on the move. Most events involving him were relatively small: the deaths of various hunts and bounties as well as the elimination of varying small-time crime syndicates. Various political organizations eventually gave Genesis the secret moniker of "the red knight", as a way to identify the man.
From what it seems, Genesis has moved into the "shadows" to combat threats to civilized areas, regardless of nation or creed. his intentions are still largely unknown however, and as he holds no political affiliation or known motive he is still regarded as a threat. Various organizations all have presented a reward for information on Genesis and an even larger reward for his live capture, but to date most information regarding him was dead ends and no one has even attempted to bring him in alive.
More startling still is that, apparently, Genesis has been reported to have been in contact with various magic entities and tutors around the new merged world, furthering his power. What few reports that accurately depict the abilities of Genesis indicate he has picked up magic that was not otherwise known to his native world.
Perhaps, however, Genesis will step onto the world stage on his own when the time is right and his strength is needed. Only time will tell..

---------------------------------
"Everything I have ever done has hurt others. From my time at SOLDIER to my indirect actions that pushed Sephiroth to madness, so much death and destruction has come on my account. Today that ends. I may be condemned to be a monster, but I will not let anyone else suffer because of my actions. My goddess forgave me, but that does not absolve me of responsibility for my crimes. I will be hated, I will be cursed, and I will be wounded, but if my suffering can ease the pain of others I will gladly endure that price. And maybe...Maybe one day someone will absolve me. Maybe one day I will be bound to the fate of "loveless" and "monster" no longer.
-Genesis, to unknown person at unknown date and time after the merge-
Genesis, since the merge, has become a much more active in worldly affairs. roughly three months after the merge, reports from several groups all indicated that a certain "black-winged, red-haired man" was already on the move.
