Background

Genesis Rhapsodos was a young boy raised in the small town of Banora, alongside his best friend Angeal Hewley. Although they grew up fairly normally, unbeknownst to both of them, they were both lab experiments created by the Shinra Power Electric Company, as part of the elusive Project Gillian.

With cells of the parasitic alien, Jenova, being implanted within the womb of a woman named Gillian Hewley, both Genesis and Angeal were born from it. As they grew up, the two boys decided to head to Midgar, where they were enlisted into the Shinra infantry.

Only a few years passed before Genesis and Angeal’s skills were recognized, and both were brought into the SOLDIER program. There, they met Sephiroth, a SOLDIER 1st Class who would soon join them as a trio of friends. When the 2nd Class SOLDIERs were out, the trio would often train together using a holographic projection room.

Eventually, Genesis was injured during a spar against Sephiroth, which left a massive gash across his shoulder. As the days passed, Genesis noticed that his wound was refusing to heal at an ordinary rate, which brought him to Professor Hollander. There, Genesis learned of his origins in Project G, and the cellular degradation that came with it.

As time went on, the knowledge of his existence as a “monster” drove Genesis to insanity, and with that insanity came a newfound obsession with a poem he used to simply like; LOVELESS. Genesis grew so obsessed with this poem that he believed it to be real, and thought enacting it would cure his degradation. With these new revelations, Genesis left the Shinra Army and was labelled MIA.

Years passed, and the end of the Wutai War would mark the beginning of the Genesis War. Genesis discovered that he could create an army of clones by planting his DNA onto others, and attacked Shinra with it. Soon later, he revealed Angeal the same revelations that he had come to, and made him his ally.

Genesis caused immense havoc in his Genesis War, which lasted several years. Eventually, he found himself back in Banora, where he discovered and was empowered by the Goddess Materia, and became one of the Planet’s WEAPONs. Minerva, the Goddess of LOVELESS that he had been searching for, appeared to him, and rebirthed him as a being of pure Mako.

In the coming years, Genesis would turn over a new leaf and vow to protect the planet as per Minerva’s wishes. He sealed himself away in a camp beneath Midgar, where he would only be awoken later by the defeat of Weiss the Immaculate and Omega Weapon. Genesis awoke, picking up Weiss, and flew off to complete an unknown task.

Weapons

• Genesis’ Rapier: An extremely long, red-bladed rapier that houses a blue orb in the center of its hilt. When Genesis becomes Genesis Avatar, his Rapier grows to absurd sizes to accommodate for his new body.

*Summon Materia: Small red orbs of crystalized Mako energy that Genesis can use to call upon legendary, gargantuan beasts from the distant past, to fight alongside him. Genesis has the Materia for Bahamut and Bahamut Fury.

Weaknesses: Genesis suffers from cellular degradation, which slowly kills him by giving him an inability to naturally heal from wounds he sustained. He grows physically weakened and his hair turns grey, as the cellular degradation slowly kills him. This weakness is removed once he becomes Genesis Avatar, and after he meets Minerva.

Notable Attacks/Techniques:

• Black Flurry: Genesis charges magical energy within his hand, before covering them in a swarm of black feathers. This inflicts a Curse upon the target.
• Apocalypse: Genesis’ Limit Break, which has him summon a large red glyph of light in the sky, before unleashing powerful electricity and energy down on his opponents.
• Purgatorial Wave: Genesis Avatar gathers a large amount of Lifestream within his rapier, before unleashing it in a large beam of energy.
