Please consider the following KH AU:

Sora comes across a menacing looking heartless at Timeless River who doesn’t attack him but actually helps out. He takes him on adventures w him because he clearly doesn’t belong there. Then Sephiroth beats up the sappy emo bullies cult, because they’re creepy stalkers.

Sephiroth’s Character Development/Personality

I have a deep dislike of the way people usually portray Sephiroth, pre-VII.

I don’t know why everyone seems to have this agreement that he’s always been a psychotic, sadistic bastard that only wants to hurt people and is, overall, a flat character with no personality outside of malicious insanity.

Sephiroth was born and raised with the belief in his head that he was a very special individual. One of a kind. He grew up being trained to be a weapon (possibly in somewhat inhumane ways, if Hojo had been involved) and was likely told he would be the greatest defense for the people in need of his protection. Most likely a manipulative gesture to make him more willing and obedient. At a younger age, he may have even had some delusional dream that he really would be a hero, as they were portrayed in storybooks.

Then he entered battle and war and a lot of people died at his hands. Like any intelligent person with a concept of right and wrong, his views would likely change after that. Like any soldier, he would soon understand he was doing something very wrong, but justify it as a necessary evil in order to protect the defenseless, like he was taught to. He still believes he is so special, a cut above the rest. He knows this as fact even, but it never goes to his head. He’s too sincere, and still a little too naive somewhere in his heart for that. He believes now that a hero is someone who dirties their own hands so others won’t have to. He keeps fighting for them no matter how unspeakable the deeds are now. Now he’s a soldier.

He meets Angeal and Genesis. His brothers in arms and the first people he’s ever been able to call friends. His only friends. He doesn’t really show it on his face because he’s been trained too well to conceal, but he loves them. He trusts them. They know things about him that he’s never uttered to another soul, thoughts and feelings he’s never had the ability to share before their encounter. The bitterness is overwhelming when they abandon him. He’s never felt such a deep pain before this, in the face of their betrayal.

Yet he still hopes he can bring them back to him, because Zack just sounds so sure that they would never hurt them like that - and they’re both still a little too naive yet.

Genesis falls and Angeal is slain. He and Zack are all that’s left behind, broken. Zack still has friends. Sephiroth is all alone.

He needs answers. He wants to understand why he had to lose everything. It takes every moment of his time that isn’t spent on another mission. He finds things he wasn’t expecting.

Everything he’s ever been told falls to pieces around him. Lies upon lies, secrets every way he turns. He finds a truth and all the anger and horror he feels warps it into a disgusting reality that begins to drive him entirely mad. He turns vicious and spiteful and feral and there’s no one to calm him down or stop him because Angeal and Genesis are gone and dead. He destroys everything, turns against the people he’s spent his whole life fighting to protect, because they’d never actually deserved it. He can see clearly now (or so he believes) This scum that’s taken everything from him. His mother, his friends, his life. He knows what he needs to do. He understands now why he was born.

He’s lost his mind. Now he’s become the psychotic, sadistic monster.

Sephiroth never started out this way. He was driven mad by the grief of losing the only people he’d ever been close to and finding out the dark and terrible truth behind his creation. Because there was no one there to tell him he wasn’t a monster, tell him they didn’t see him as one. Because the only people who could have said that and have it matter had abandoned him, betrayed his trust, and were both supposedly dead. Because everything that had ever been told to him had been a blatant lie and the people he had been working so hard for actually didn’t give less than a shit about him as a person with feelings and thoughts and dreams. Because he was entirely and utterly alone and the only thing he could even mildly relate to was an ancient corpse in a tank, just a few miles away.

I understand that people just want to see Sephiroth as a badass bad guy, and bad guys aren’t supposed to be victims because their big and tough and evil. They’re not supposed to have mushy gushy feelings and all that. He is a victim though, that doesn’t justify any of the horrible things he’s done. It just means he hasn’t always been a psychopath. It means that he’s pitiable, because he’s a hollow husk of the man he used to be, and it’s just sad to see someone who used to be so sincere and sure of his life fall into so many brittle little pieces.

I suppose the thing that really bothers me, is that no one pays attention to the fact that Sephiroth is a very round character; and he’s just used so cheaply in general works when so much more could be done with him.

He’s a beautiful character and I applaud Square Enix for their overall development of him, because I have contempt for him and respect him equally.

#very cool character analysis #I think a lot of popular characters are portrayed in a rather shallow way #be it that people focus on different aspect of the character #like their bishonen status or how powerful they are #and neglect the personality lol #not that there is a lot to work with when it comes to Sephiroth #considering how aloof he can be and how often he conceals his real emotions #sephiroth #crisis core #ffVii
