Sephiroth

[Mavnn]

OK, so my Final Fantasy 7 game is progressing nicely. So I decided that it was time to stat up Mr. Bishinon himself, the guy with the bare chest, Sephiroth. The main reason for this is that I need some idea of what I'm scaling towards, so I can give everything else suitable levels of states.

 

In the rules I'm using, characters do not have to pay for the abilities materia grant them, but they do have to buy the Endurance Reserve to run them off, so that might explain some strangeness on the character sheet. Other than that, what do people think? Anything blatent I've missed? Any comments?

 

As far as power level goes, I've mainly gone from the fact that Sephiroth considers a lesser dragon an enemy beneath this contempt (who he dispatches with ease) in the first cut screen we see him in. So I decided I needed a write up would could easily defeat a lesser dragon from the besteriary, and defeat a greater dragon without too much difficulty. Despite his stats, I view him as more of a martial artist than a brick, so I have no problem with the fact that his attacks out weigh his defenses.

You may want to consider having the masamune include an inch of stretching

[Enforcer84]

I like that.

 

Perhaps he can have some sort of control for the other SOLDIERS; didn't they blindly follow his will or was that clones?

[Southern Cross]

Michael Surbrook has writeups of the Final Fantasy characters on his website (including a Sepiroth writeup).Check under Surbrook's Stuff in the Hero Links section.

[Southern Cross]

Oh,one small correction : Surbrook's Stuff is in the Misc. Hero System Links.

[Mavnn]

Yeah, I was aware of the 'Surbrook' version (although I think that particular write-up is by Max Firth sp?). I wanted a slightly more powerful version for my own game, however, and one who used my house rules (buying a mana reserve for materia, etc). I wanted a version to whom dragons really are just a minor irritation .

 

Hmmm... both the stretching and the jenova mind control are good calls. The stretching I'll probably stick in, the mind control will be slightly different from the video game version - different plot and all - but should be there.

 

I should probably stick desolid on there as well...

[Victim]

His Leaping doesn't include the inches from STR. Also, I'm not sure if his hunteds were really more powerful.

I think he's using it to represent the size of the groups after him. A billion 50 pt agents should slow down Superman for a long while... especially if they have tactics 11- and teamwork 14-

[Mavnn]

Yeah, Hojo's not individually more powerful than Sephiroth, but he can call upon the resources of Shinra - along with his 'experiments'. The unknown hunter really is more powerful than Sephiroth, and is the same unknown hunter as on Nemo (the PC's character sheet). He will remain unknown for the moment for plot reasons .

 

...not to mention the fact that I haven't given him a name yet...

 

Good catch on the leaping distances, though.
