( Out of Character )
BACKTAGGING: Always! I'm a pretty slow tagger, but I'll always try to give you a tag back so long as mutual interest is still there. I'm usually most active in the evening (MST). At the moment, I am currently dealing with some health complications and irl issues that make it hard for me to tag steadily, so I'm prone to vanishing. Please rest assured that it's nothing personal and very much a me issue. If I haven't tagged you back and you'd like to continue, feel free to message me or give me a poke.
THREADHOPPING: Ask first.
FOURTHWALLING: Only if you're Kefka giving Sephiroth a hard time.
OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS: As far as Sephiroth is concerned, please let me know if something I've said/written upsets you or if you'd like to opt out of interacting with him entirely. There will be no hard feelings whatsoever. Post-Nibelheim!Sephiroth can be a lot, and I know that's not everyone's cup of tea. He hates everyone and everything, he's a mass murderer, and he's generally just a gigantic creep with no concept of personal boundaries-- especially if you're Cloud. I do my best to keep it chill until I know your tastes. Other things that may pop up with him include being raised in a lab, being subjected to mental, physical, and medical abuse via Hojo, and being trained as a soldier and a killing machine since he was a child.

( Character Information )
NAME: Sephiroth
CANON: Final Fantasy VII
TIMELINE: Pretty flexible, but I'll usually default either to Crisis Core or FF7r depending on the thread.
HISTORY: A handy-dandy link if you'd rather just read about it.
APPEARANCE: ( LINK ) Sephiroth is a mountain of a man and stands at approximately 6'6" (but it's really hard to tell when Square Enix keeps arbitrarily changing everybody's height), well-built and graceful.
CANON KNOWLEDGE: Because the FF7 universe (and FF as a whole) has gotten so massive, there's a lot of content out there. If you're looking to story-build, AU with me, or what-have-you, here are the things I'm familiar with: Final Fantasy VII (OG), Crisis Core, Before Crisis, Advent Children, Final Fantasy VII Remake + Rebirth, Ever Crisis, and Dissidia (OG & Opera Omnia). As for the rest of the franchise, I'm familiar with I, IV-X, XIII, and XIV. If it suits you, Kingdom Hearts (1 & 2) and Super Smash Bros are also familiar to me. If your canon isn't on the list, I'd love to interact with you anyway! Crosscanon shenanigans are among my favorite things (whether they're Final Fantasy or not), and I will happily wiki if I need to.

( In Character )
PHYSICAL CONTACT/AFFECTION: Probably not a good idea unless you're a close friend.
FLIRTING: Do it! He may not be receptive, but I'll think it's funny.
FIGHTING: Y E S. I love writing out fights. Feel free to PM me and discuss power levels, desired outcomes, and so on. I tend to most enjoy writing fights that are more well-balanced and am always happy to work something out where both parties are happy. That said, I'm also very much okay with Sephiroth getting his ass kicked (he needs it, tbh), and by the same token, if all you want is some angst and your character getting beat up for drama, I'm good for that, too. Let's discuss!
INJURIES & KILLING: Yes, but I'd like to hash out details first.
NEGATIVE CR: Always! Negative CR is half the fun of playing a villain, and I don't shy away from it or take it personally.
TELEPATHY/MINDREADING: Yes, but he will not react kindly. Let me know in advance if you plan on reading his mind though, so I can flesh out his thoughts accordingly for you.

( Shipping )
YES: Cloud, Angeal, Zack, Aerith. I would also give my kingdom to try my hand at mutually obsessive enemies-to-lovers with Zenos from FFXIV. As a note: if you're looking to ship with villain!Sephiroth, complicated/messy/toxic shipping is always a yes and on the table. Just let me know what your boundaries are.
ASK FIRST: Genesis; I love him, but I do not particularly enjoy these two as a ship. It'll take some considerable build-up or discussion for me to be on board. Tifa; I'm very on the fence for this one, so let's discuss. Other FFVII castmates and Final Fantasy characters are generally very welcome overall, but if you're not sure, reach out! I'm happy to discuss. I've also had some great interactions with Devil May Cry characters that I would enjoy exploring more of.
NOPE: The Remnants, Yuffie. I'm also not particularly interested in shipping with non-Final Fantasy characters unless we've had previous CR and build-up. Sorry!
SMUT: Build-up greatly preferred, but yes. Unless I've posted in a meme geared for that sort of thing, I'd rather not have starters be smut-focused. As an additional heads up, writing explicit smut is not my forte, and I tend to focus more on thought/feeling than anything. Please forgive any missteps if the writing isn't so great on that front.
