Kuja

Url: kujatheclone

Age: 19

Profession: Actor of the Banora Theatrical Troupe

About his acting/composing: His acting is usually a bit over the top. Butts heads occasionally with the other leading actor, Sephiroth. Thinks the other actor gets shown favoritism from the playwright.

Former Profession: McMoogles

Home Life: Studio apartment in the burrow of Terra. Looking for a roommate. 

Background: Grew up in Banora and looked up to Genesis because of the other man's flamboyance and literary talents. Has a half-brother, Zidane Tribal, who is a member of the Tantalus Theater Troupe. They don't get along very well. He took a job to help pay his bills at McMoogles, a job he hated. He was fired from that job after an altercation with a customer, but luckily, his acting career took off not long after. After the Banora Theatrical Troupe was formed, he managed to impress them with his abilities. He moved to the city with the rest of the troupe.

Url: sephonfire

Age: 27

Profession: Actor (and sometimes composer) of the Banora Theatrical Troupe

Background: He grew up in the city of Migar in the upper class homes of Sector 4. His parents were Professor Hojo and Lucrecia Crescent. His mother died when he was 9. Two years later, his father shipped him off to military school. Sephiroth hated it there, but preferred it to his home life.

Joined the Enix military at age 18 One year later he would meet friends which would change his life, Angeal and Genesis. Attained the rank of General after only 5 years. Six months after Genesis dismissal by Section 8, Sephiroth went AWOL. This was in no small part because of what was in the files of the classified missions his friend went on and the atrocities of the military that he had knowledge of. 

On the run, he went to one of the people he knew he could trust- Genesis. Arriving in Banora, he was welcomed into his friend's home. Deciding to hide in plain sight, he joined the newly formed Banora Theatrical Troupe using his mother's maiden name. When the troupe (and his friend) move to the city of Dissidia, he went with them.

Genesis Rhapsodos, Playwright

Url: genesisadoresloveless

Age: 29

Profession: Playwright (and occasional actor) of the Banora Theatrical Troupe

About his plays/acting: The troupe has performed several well-known plays, including LOVELESS. However, the majority of their body of work consists of plays written by Genesis himself. These include: Apocalypse, Redemption, Loss of the Goddess, and Fall from Honor.

Former Profession: Former Captain of the Enix military forces. 

Nicknames: Gen

Home Life: The city was a welcome change to the life that Genesis had been living and it was more than accepting of his troupe of actors. He rented a loft in the burrow of Gaia with Sephiroth and has lived there ever since. Recently, an old friend of his came to the city seeking a place to stay. He welcomed Angeal with open arms and the three are currently sharing his loft.

Background: Genesis grew up in Banora, a small farming community most known for its harvest of ‘dumbapples’ also known as the Banora white. The son of the Rhapsodos family, despite his love for the Banora white, did not want to spend the rest of his life on the farm. He found a friend in one of the farmhands, Angeal, a friendship that would change his life. It was at the age of 20 that both of them joined up with the Enix military. 

He rose through the ranks to Captain rather quickly, in no small part because of his affable personality and dedication to his troops well-being. However, after numerous high-casualty missions and a refusal to follow orders to take his troops back into danger, Genesis was discharged with a Section 8. 

After his discharge from the military, he returned home to Banora. Farming still suited him no better than it had in his teen years. Frustrated and feeling abandoned, he decided fell back on an old passion of his- LOVELESS, the play which had driven him to try to become a hero in the first place. Taking his obsession to new heights, he began collecting actors to perform the work. Having had success with his old love, he began writing more works for the group and took them to the not-to-distant City of Dissidia.

About Palamecia Industries: Primarily a weapons and technology manufacturer, the company deals with dangerous chemicals and sometimes dangerous people.  The company has been involved in shady business practices, but nothing that has ever been proven. Mateus began the company about seven years ago with little more than his own airship designs and improvements. It wouldn’t take long with his determination to become one of the top in the industry.

Nicknames: His employees (and occasionally the competition) will sometimes call him “the Emperor” behind his back. However, very few will call him such to his face.

Home Life: Has a penthouse apartment in the burrow of Pandemonium. He lives there alone, but tends to work long hours and so rarely spends much time there.

Background: Mateus grew up in a wealthy family. He spent most of his childhood learning how to be a good son and prepare for a life of easy living. He went to a private school and later to a private university on his family’s dollar. Discovering that he had a knack for engineering, he would achieve both a bachelor’s and a master’s degree in it. After finishing school, he set out to create his own business with his own designs as its foundation.
