Dec. 30th, 2011 03:58 pmName: Sephiroth
Age: 7-8 (actual age and date of birth are classified)
OU and AU versions:
OU: Sephiroth as a child, living under the supervision of Professor Hojo and Science Research Division. For the first few years of his life, he was in the care of Professor Gast, and Gast took steps to ensure that he was treated humanely, and given as "normal" a childhood as was possible, considering the circumstances. When Gast disappeared and Hojo took over the project, he made many changes, without Sephiroth's welfare in mind, and Sephiroth already dislikes and resents him.
AU: Following the events of Advent Children, Sephiroth is returned to life by the Lifestream, as a child. Perhaps so he can make amends, or perhaps for some other reason? When he awakens, alone in Aerith's church amidst the ruins of Midgar, he possesses only the faded memories of his child self.
There is not a great deal of specific information on Sephiroth's childhood. My version of it is largely based on translations of Final Fantasy VII Ultimania and the few times Sephiroth mentions his past in canon. As a child being treated as a scientific experiment is a clear form of abuse in any case, I will try to handle the matter as sensitively as possible. Please let me know if you have any problems with my portrayal where this is concerned, and I'll try to address them at once.
Also, feel free to leave me any comments/questions/suggestions/criticism.
