Powers/Abilities/Techniques/Skills:Note: I’m going to base my posts with a DND style of combat where Cloud can attack four times(Combo Power) and has a movement action. This way I can scale down to make him more even and not make him uber powerful with random number of attacks.
(Powers)
Mako Infused – Cloud from his time prior to Radiant Garden was infused with Mako Energy, the life stream of his planet. This energy combined with Jenova cells placed in his body gave him an enhancement to his strength, agility, and reflexes that make him above the normal human being. Allowing him to react quicker in combat, to jump higher or run faster than a normal person, and also for him to be able to use large weapons such as his buster sword or Fusion blade with ease.
Mana – Cloud although not versed in Magic arts like Sora or others who learn spells individually, he still has a large amount of mana that he uses in conjunction with Materia. Crystal like orbs infused with Mako and knowledge of the Ancients that allow the wielder to cast spells without having to study them , themselves. Although Cloud doesn’t like to rely on his Mana in combat, he does so when it’s necessary.
Wall Jaunt - Cloud has the ability to use a combination of his strength and agility to either run up walls or to jump off of them to boost the height of his jumps. Using this power is part of his regular movement when running, jumping off the wall in the direction to unleash either a combo or a technique. The first jump increases the height of Clouds jump by 5 feet to making him able to attack a target 10 ft above the ground. He also give up using technique and lose one attack in his combo to jump off another wall to boost his jump another 5 feet to allow him to hit a target 15 feet above the ground. Cloud can sacrifice more than one attack from his combo to jump off a wall and boost the height of his jump up to 3 allowing him to strike a target 25 feet in the air with one slash if he has the room to jump four times.
Dash - Cloud can give up his normal movement in a post to dash forward or backwards for 30 feet within a few seconds allowing him to back off or get in someone's face.
Dodge Roll - Cloud can give his normal movement in a post to roll to the side to evade a single special or magic-based attack.
Combo - Cloud with skill and experience can slash his sword four times a post instead of using a technique, an item (unless giving up movement), or casting a spell from Materia. When Wielding two weapons Cloud still has a limit of four attacks a post but they are divided between the two weapons allowing each weapon to be used twice. This is considered Cloud's normal attacks.
Parry - Cloud can chose to give up an attack in his combo in exchange for him blocking a Melee/Ranged weapon attack with his weapon. This also works with two weapon fighting but the parry happens with only one weapon per Parry.
(Techniques)
Every Technique below is full attack action meaning no combo attacks, item use (Unless move actions are given up), and Spell casting with Materia. Unless noted all techniques leave Cloud his regular movement options in the post.
Braver – A technique where Cloud while close range with his target and then focuses his attention on his blade causing it to glow with Mako energy before jumping up and bringing the blade down in a slash dealing damage to a single target equal to three slashes. (No Cool down time)
Sonic Rave – A technique that Cloud dashes forward n an attack, slashing at the target before stoping behind them. This attack is equivalent two slashes of his Fusion blade.
Cross-Slash – A Technique in which Cloud teleports behind a single target and then follows up with three consecutive slashes on the target dealing normal damage with each slash. (No Cool Down Time)
Blade Beam - A Technique in which Cloud focuses Mako Energy into the Fusion blade before swinging the blade releasing a slash of energy equivalent to three slashes of his blade into one target that sends a weaker waves of energy (equal to a single slash of his blade) to unfriendly targets within ten feet of the main target. (Cool down time 1 post after the initial post)
Climizzard – This Technique Cloud moves forward with a slash on his target close range before jumping high into the air. Boosting the blade of the sword with Mako energy and slamming the force and energy into a slash onto the target he initially hit for damage equal to 4 slashes of his blade [Cool Down time 1 Post after initial post of use]
Meteorain - This Technique uses on a group of enemies. Using his energy Cloud summons six small meteors from thin air and drops them on specific targets allowing him to hit single target six times or several targets multiple times. Each Meteor’s damage is equivalent to 1 slash of Cloud’s blade [Cool down time 2 posts after initial post of use]
Finishing Touch - A Technique that Cloud uses to attack more than one target at once. Drawing back the blade with Mako energy Cloud swings the blade releasing the energy into a tornado that hits all targets within ten feet of Cloud dealing damage to all caught in the wave of Mako energy equal to three slashes of his blade [Cool Down time 2 Posts after the Initial Post of use]
Omni –Slash –
Regardless of the Version of the move Cloud is restricted to a cool down time of 3 posts after use and requires his Fusion blade to be in one piece in order to use this Technique.
Version 4 (Grounded Target)
Used against Sora in the tournament, Cloud begins to glow with Mako energy that looks like Electricity as it surrounds him. He then dashes forward slashing his target once before stopping to turn back around and then slashing again and again for five total slashes in varying direction before ending with a slash aimed for the targets front. The damage of the attacks are boosted by Mako energy making each slash seem to be two slashes rather than one single slash each dash. This attack is not only a full post attack but a full move action as well.
Version 5 (In the Air Target)
Used against Sephiroth primarily. Cloud begins to glow jumping upwards floating with a flowing Electricity while his Fusion blade separates into it's individual pieces floating away from Cloud and circling the target appearing to be held by glowing mako shadows of Cloud. Which then Cloud dashes forward grabbing one of the blades and dashes down on the target slashing them across the front and then drops the blade exchanging it for another piece and proceeding to slash dash again. These slash attacks repeat quickly equaling five before Cloud finishes with grabbing the Main blade and slashing downwards on the target for a last sixth slash . Then he lands effortlessly on the ground holding the Main blade while the others pieces fall to the ground around Cloud sticking into the ground in a circle while the glow of Mako fades from Cloud. This attack is not only a full post attack but a full move action as well.
(Skills)
Great Sword Specialist - Cloud is very good when it comes to wielding a great sword like his buster sword or the Fusion Blade. In either case Cloud is skilled in hitting his Opponent with quick slashes that would normally only be achieved by long sword while at the same times possessing a great deal of skill that allows him use strength in each slash.
Materia User – Unlike normal magic users, Cloud doesn’t actually know any Black Mage spells that he can cast or white mage. Instead Cloud uses small orbs of Mako known as Materia that contain knowledge of a race known as the Ancient and allow Cloud to cast spells from them.
Motorcycle Combat – Cloud though rarely does so knows how to ride a motorcycle usually riding his Fenir out and about outside the city limits of Radiant Garden. But not only does he know how to ride a motorcycle he also has experience in getting into fights on his motorcycle, developing a form of combat where he would use his Fusion blade to block and lash out at enemies who get close to cloud while he is driving.
Two Weapon Fighting - Although Cloud usually relies on the Complete form of his Fusion Blade, Cloud will on occasion use several pieces of the fusion blade in conjunction with each other. Relying on a mix of parry's and attacks with each blade in order to fight. The restriction on the two weapon fighting is that the weapon on each hand most be a certain weight meaning Cloud can't wield two great sword weapons at once, exception being hallow blade and main blade together.
Weapon/Items:Fusion Blade or
First Tsurugi – Cloud’s new weapon of choice. Replacing the Buster Sword he previously used, the Fusion Blade is made up of six different blades combined together to form a single large great sword reminiscent of the buster sword. Heavy but well Balanced the great sword is just as deadly in Cloud’s hands as the buster sword was. The Six pieces are listed below;
Main Blade – Appearing like a large two handed weapon the main blade is a double edged blade that makes up the center of the Fusion Blade. It’s handle long and red while main body of the blade is long and appears to be a large metal piece except for openings meant for the other pieces of the Fusion blade. This blade can be wielded one handed and can be used in combination with the Hallow Blade
Hallow Blade – Not the main part of the assembled weapon but a key part none the less that holds all the other pieces in place onto the main blade. It also plays a role in how sharp the Fusion Blade actually is but unlike the other pieces of the sword it’s not too effective a weapon more a defense capable of taking shots from gunblades and holding back other weapons at close range. It’s more defensive on its own and Cloud relies on it to hold back someone in a fight while getting his main blade. Surprisingly light, it can be used in combination with the Main blade allowing Cloud to fight with two blades at once.
Back Blades – Are two Identical Long swords that are mirror images of each other, one being straight edge while the other being saw toothed both having a long handle. These two are attached to the back of the main blade and are effective to use together which Cloud has a habit of relying on them in conjunction with the main blade.
Side Blades – Are Two dagger-like swords that are still quite long. They fold up like switchblades when in the sword holding the hilt and back together in it’s assembled form they are on the sides of the Fusion blade. Although not as big or defensive as the other blades the side blades are a good off-hand weapon that can be pulled out and used in combat when needed.
MateriaUsage of Magic is like a full post action, where's cloud can still move and use a move related action he is unable to attack, parry, or use a technique.
Restore Materia with All (Support) Materia

Fenir - Cloud's famed Motorcycle rarely seen by anyone unless they are outside the city of Radiant Garden. The motorcycle is a rather sturdy bike made for speed and easier turns it had a holster for Cloud's Fusion blade and though design for one person can carry two.
Picture:Appearance:Cloud is a rather easy to stand out person with the spiky blonde hair on his head that defied gravity and his blue-green eyes that are influenced by the Mako energy running through his body. He is dressed in a black outfit that covers most of his body except for his right arm the outfit includes a set of gloves coving his hands and on his back usually is his Fusion Blade that is sheathed. He also comes off as cold and distant with a face that shows little emotion even when he’s amused by something, a slight turn of his lip signifying his version of a smile.
Personality:Cloud is rather quiet and distant person but despite that he is also strong willed and a person who looks out for his friends, putting his life on line to protect them. The reason he is so distant is because he tries to protect them by keeping them at arm’s length while pursuing his Shadow Sephiroth, a person who reminds him of his past that he wants to forget. He does speak his mind and holds a conversation with people who talk to him but he keeps his words limited preferring to get his points across with a few words rather than a jumble of them. He is loyal and brave, a person willing to bear the weight of things on his own while looking out for other people.

History:(Childhood)
Cloud was born originally in a small town Nibelhiem. There he raised by his mother and grew up with Tifa Lockheart although he kept his distance. At the time Cloud thought himself better then the other children of the town and kept to himself but it made him rather lonely. While keeping a distance Cloud gained a crush on Tifa and began following her around until a moment when Tifa lost her mother, claiming she could see her again at the top of Mt. Nibel. He followed her and wound up falsely blamed for her going and getting hurt. from then on he kept his distance.
In his early teens he found himself hero-worshiping the great SOLDIER Sephiroth. Wanting to be just like him and join SOLDIER Cloud decided he was leaving to pursue his dream. He talked to Tifa about even though they hadn't been to close saying he was going to become famous and a hero, which Tifa had him make a promise to help her if she was ever in danger.
(Crisis Core)
Cloud tried time and again to join SOLDIER but he didn't really make the grade, becoming a common Shinra trooper. He made a friend named Zack a first class SOLDIER who supported him and on several missions they worked together. Which eventually brought him home to Nibelhiem.
Cloud kept his Shinra helmet on hiding his Identity from discovered because he didn't want Tifa to know he had failed in his dream to join SOLDIER. On the mission he was escorting Zack and Sephiroth to the Reactor where he had to look out for Tifa who was escorting them there through the Mountains.
The mission in his hometown was supposed to be simple but something in the reactor troubled Sephiroth who remained locked in the Shinra Manor. He remained in there for days before one day the whole drown caught caught in the powerful SOLDIER's wraith. The town was burning and people were hurt, it drove Cloud to fight Sephiroth but he was just a common soldier and was easily taken down within the Reactor. Zack also couldn't stop the man but with Zack's sword he attack Sephiroth who was able to deflect the blow and even stab Cloud with his long katana but rather then trying to pull away, Cloud pulled hi self further onto the blade and then griping the blade he used it to fling Sephiroth into the Mako energy below.
Cloud was taken along with his friend Zack and experimented on by Hojo who injected both of them with no only Mako energy but Jenova cells. The infusion overwhelmed Cloud making him unable to move or think on his own leaving his friend Zack to carry him around like a burden. He remained in this state for quite some time, Zack telling him stories to try and reach him. Zack eventually after dealing with the missing soldier known as Genesis, took Cloud to Midgard with him saying that he planned to be merc to make them a living. Unfortunately Zack was killed just on the outskirts of the city leaving Cloud's confused mind with fake memories and the buster sword.
(Final Fantasy 7)
Cloud thought of himself as an Ex-SOLDIER when he joined Avlanche at Tifa’s request. His mind unknowingly mixed up he helped the group and it’s leader Barret Wallace blow up several Mako Reactors around the City of Midgar. But when President Shinra figured them out, they were abushed at the second attack and Cloud wound up falling from the upper plate to slums of the city. These he meet Aerith who tried to help him get back to his friends and even helped him disguse himself as a girl to meet up with Tifa in Don Corneo’s place.
Learning of Shinra’s plan to destroy the plate in order to crush Avalanche group literally by blowing up the structure holding up the plate above Sector 7, Cloud and Aerith ran with Tifa to get back there and warn everyone. Unfortunately they fail and Aerith is captured by Shinra.
Going after her Cloud is joined by both Tifa and Barret and they sneak into Shinra by way of the backstairs. Once inside they find Aerith along with the creature known as Jenova. They then get aid from a talking red cat nicknamed Red XIII in fighting one of Hojo’s creatures before trying to escape. Unfortunately the Turks of Shinra catch them and they are locked away until the Building is attacked by Sephiroth.
Cloud decides to chase after Sephiroth thinking that the Ex-SOLDIER he thinks is a friend was after the Promise Land. Shortly after leaving Midgar and stopping in a small town Cloud reveals what he thinks happened in the burning of Nibelhiem before they continue on their journey. Encountering Turks who reveal that Sephiroth is heading for Juno, Cloud and his group follow meeting a ninja named Yuffie before leaving Juno on a Shinra cargo ship set for Costa Del Sol. While onboard they get caught in a small fight with Sephiorth but find only a remains of a piece of Jenova when they beat him.
From the Vaction Spot through the Mountains of Barret’s hometown, through the troubles of Gold Saucer and the gaining of another ally named Cait Sith they reached Cosmo Canyon the hometown of Red XIII. There they are reminded what the Original Avalanche stood for, people who were trying to stop Shinra from drawing power from the life stream, the life blood of the planet. Afterwards they left following Sephiroth to Nibelhiem that was supposed to have burned down and after exchanging words with Sephiroth of a ‘Reunion’ they then meet Vincient Valentine who had been locked in the basement of the Shinra Manor in town.
From Mt. Nibel Cloud and his group of friends go to Rocket town where they meet Cid and get shot down when they try to take his plane for a means of chasing after Sephiroth. Afterwards they learn of the keystone that is at Gold Saucer but it is stolen by Cait Sith who is revealed to be a spy. Forced to take the traitor along they go to the temple of the Ancients where they find injured Turks who had been attacked by Sephiroth. Going deep into the temple Cloud meets Sephiroth face to face who reveals his plan to use the ultimate black magic Meteor to deal a critical blow to the planet and then absorb the energy of the life stream into himself in order to transform into a God. The Key to the plan is the black material that the entire temple actual was, with the sacrifice of one of Cait Sith’s selves they are able to claim the stone but because of Cloud having Jenova cells he is manipulated into giving the Materia to Sephiroth before almost attacking his friends.
Then while Cloud was sleeping Aerith ran off, trying to catch up to her Cloud goes through sleeping forest with the others to reach the Ancients Forgotten Capital. There Cloud almost attacks Aerith while she is on the altair but his friends stop him. Unfortunately Sephiroth descends from above and stabs Aerith with his blade killing her and sending a glowing white Materia below. Cloud is unable to realtate as Sephiroth uses a piece of Jenova as a distraction to escape. Afterwards Cloud lowers Aerith’s body into the water of her people before leaving with his friends in search of Sephiroth once again.
Revealing that Sephiroth was controlling him and might do so again which was why when they final reached the North Crater he gave the Black Materia to one of his friends to hold. Sephiroth then precedes to confuse Cloud revealing partial truth of the past with Zack and then tricks Cloud into giving him the Black Materia and then activates it summoning Meteor. Afterwards the crater shakes as Cloud applogies for being a fake to Tifa and then falls into the life stream while the rest of his friends escape.
A Week later his friends locate Cloud who is completely out of it, being exposed to more Mako energy then any human can possibly handle poisoning him leaving him paralyzed and incoherent like he was before coming to midgar. Eventually though Tifa is able to help Cloud remember the truth and understand that the fake memories were Zacks and that Cloud had been in Nibelhiem when Sephiroth had attacked the town.
The Weapons, biological monsters created by the planet and released from Nort Crater when Sephiroth summoned Meteor were attacking places all over the world. Cloud one by one with his friends tried to take care of each of the weapons in order to help the people before proceeding on trying to find a way to stop Meteor. With the help of Bugenhagen, Red XII’s surrogate Grandfather the party is able to learn that Aerith last moment of life was focused on summoning Holy to counteract Meteor but Sephiroth was keeping it at bay.
After dealing with Shinra, Cloud and the others headed for North Crater. There they had several battles with Sephiroth before they were able to finally defeat him and release Holy to try and stop meteor. But it wasn’t enough and so the planet made the sacrifice drawing energy from the life stream it lashed out destroying the Meteor and saving everyone.
(Final Fantasy 7 Advent Children)
Cloud found himself in a fight once again after two years following the battle with Sephiroth. Searching for a cure for the mysterious Giastigma that had infected Denzel, a kid under his and Tifa’s care as well as himself, he rides across the world on his motorcycle and is attacked by three silver haired young men named Yazoo, Loz, and Kadaj who are fragments of Sephiroth’s mind. They get caught up in a fight where Cloud is forced to fight while still riding his motorcycle, chased by shadow creatures he is eventually released from the fight when the three take off somewhere else.
Meeting up with the President Shinra much to his surprise he is forced to decline a team up when Reno reminds of the fact they are trying to rebuild Shinra. He returns to Midgar only to fall unconscious when he discovers Tifa knocked out in the church within the Slums. With encouragement from Turks and Tifa, Cloud proceeds to Forgotten Capital where he tries to rescue the kids that Kadaj’s gang had taken. When he sees Denzel being controlled with the other kids by Kadaj he tries to fight the three single-handily but is outmatched and then rescued by Vincent Valentine who tells him the truth about Geo-stigma.
Cloud is then forced to rush back to the city of Edge dropping off Marlene and getting encouragement from Aerith, he races off to the square where he sees his friends fighting with Sin Bahmaut and Turks fighting with Loz and Yazoo. Rescuing Tifa and Denzel, he then proceeds to defeat Sin with helpful push from each of his friends. He then begins chasing Kadaj and gets caught up in a fight with Yazoo and Loz on motorcycle bikes but with intervention of Reno he is able to escape and focus his attention on Kadaj.
He confronts Kadaj in the abandon church in the slums of Midgar but the life stream floods in delaying the fight and curing Cloud of Geo-Stigma. Cloud then meets Kadaj fighting him after arguing about both having been puppets. Defeating Kadaj, it is a short victory when Kadaj absorbs the Jenova cells into his body as last ditch effort causing Sephiroth to be reborn in his form.
Then Sephiroth and Cloud fight it out. Choseing to fight by himself and without the need of Materia he can Sephiroth clash above the ruins of Midgar. Sephiroth even gaining the upper hand with his sword in Cloud’s shoulder but his taunting words of asking what was important to Cloud so that he could eliminate it brought Cloud the strength he needed. Drawing on the thoughts of his friends alive and dead he fights back with his renewed strength making complete use of his weapon and unleashing Omnislash in order to defeat Sephiroth once again.
Right after Sephiroth vanishes and Kadaj fades away, Loz and Yazoo appear sacrificing themselves to get rid of Cloud. But he is not killed instead in a critical state that is healed by Aerith and he awakens in the Church where Denzel and all the others are being healed of their Geo-stigma. Then Cloud tells Aerith that he realizes now that he is not alone anymore.
(Final Fantasy 7 Dirge of Cerberus)
Although Cloud didn’t really play much of a role in the events surrounding his friend Vincent Valentine, he did help in ground assault and even assisted in fighting Omega although Vincent Valentine was the one to stop the Planet’s last weapon from taking the life stream with it.
(Rebirth)
Cloud’s memories of the past were lost when something happened to his world and he was reborn on Radiant Garden with the rest of his friends. He was standoffish as he was in his previous childhood but not for the same reasons. He had a feeling that if he got to close to people that he would be unable to protect them.
He grew up on Radiant Garden with no memory of his past life but finding himself walking down the same paths, learning the same things, and even meeting people he once knew. He also meet Squall who he found a sort companionship with.
Eventually though something happened to Radiant Garden and Cloud found himself blaming himself and in turn Sephiroth for the events that played out. He was cut off from his friends and found himself lost and wanting to hunt Sephiroth down rather than search for his friends.
(Kingdom Hearts)
Cloud found himself on Olympus Coliseum where he struck a deal with Hades to defeat Hercules in hopes that the lord of the dead would lead him to Sephiroth. However before he could go through with the deal Sora appeared. Not taking much notice of the younger boy, Cloud eventually had to fight Cloud but Sora proves to difficult to fight and since Cloud was unwilling to kill Sora he wound up losing. Hades then summoned Cerberus nearly crushing Cloud in his surprise when he did luckily the keyblade kid was able to defeat the dogs while Hercules took Cloud to safety.
Afterwards Cloud thinks over everything and is joined by Sora who questions his decision to work for Hades. Admitting to wanting to use the darkness to find someone , Cloud told him that he lost sight of his light. Finding out that Sora had lost sight of his as well, parting the boy with words of to not stop searching, he walks off thinking on what he should do.
Cloud eventually is able to meet up with Sephiroth in the Colosseum where they both admit to having been searching for each other. But Cloud decides that in order to free himself of his nightmare he has to beat Sephiroth but the later attempts to turn him to the darkness which Cloud refuses. The following battle ends in a draw as Sephiroth slips away and Cloud is left on his own.
He eventually returns to Radiant Garden, then known as Hallow Bastion where he is reunited with his friends once again.
(Kingdom Hearts 2)
While his friends worked on trying to restore Hallow Bastion to it’s former glory, Cloud focused on trying to locate Sephiroth. Having given up the buster blade for his Fusion Blade, he scours the city looking for his darkness while at the same time lending Leon some help with Heartless clean up that had started up again with the return of everyone’s memory of Sora.
Eventually he meets up with Sora admitting to the Keyblade wielder that he was seeking Sephiroth. When Sora offers to help find him, he nearly declines while giving a warning that Sora should avoid Sephiroth since he was likely to turn Sora to the Darkness.
Cloud finds himself caught in the fight when an alarming amount of Heartless begin attacking Hallow Bastion not wanting his friends to be harmed nor the people the city he enters the fry and battles the heartless. Even finds himself back to back with Leon having a little friendly banter while fighting the heartless eventually though Cloud is drawn away by Sephiroth who lures him away after Cloud had been separated from Leon.
Then later on Sora locates Sephiroth and informs Cloud where he is. Going to confront him, they once again clash again. Sephiroth’s words getting to Cloud as they fought but eventually Tifa came inspiring him to embrace the light. Awakening to a new form of Omni-slash he glowed and clashed with Sephiroth vanishing from sight while unleashing his attack on Sephiroth.
Despite using the Attack Sephiroth slips away once again leaving Cloud to wonder what it would take to banish the Darkness once and for all from him.
Role Playing Sample:Cloud leaned against the wall within the central square. He was taking a break from having to patrol around the city of Radiant Garden which had seemed to become his job of late. Leon and the others were busying helping with the Restoration of Radiant Garden leaving the defense system to handle any Heartless that tried to appear. Unfortunately the recent increase in Heartless activity made it difficult for the Defense system to keep up. This meant that people needed to Patrol to ensure the Heartless were dealt with especially with the recent increase in traffic to Radiant Garden.
‘Wonder where the kid is’ thought Cloud briefly thinking of Sora.
Sora was after all a Keyblade Wielder and had been the center of attention in the last years by both the Heartless and the other halves known as the Nobody. Cloud couldn’t help being curious if the kid had found himself in the middle of trouble again. Not that Cloud worried the kid had proven time and again that he could take care of himself.
Pulling out his cell phone and noticed a message from Aerith. Reading it over Cloud put it away and then pushed himself off the wall and proceeded to head for the stairs to leave the central square. The message had asked him to come back to Leon’s place. And that there was urgent business.
‘Hopefully it’s not too urgent’ thought Cloud. He didn’t want to think of another incident where the Heartless attempted another invasion. That was the last thing he needed to get caught up in and the people of the city were hardly in any condition to put up a fight on their own yet.
