Cloud Strife

A mercenary for hire, Cloud enters the story a cold and arrogant young man. Obligated by a promise to his childhood friend Tifa, he agrees to join the resistence groud AVALANCHE temporarily, at her request. Though initially it seems that his only motivation for doing so is his own selfish gain, it soon becomes apparent that there is far more to his story than first appears...
Aeris Gainsborough

Aeris is a simple merchant girl who spends her days wandering the streets of Midgar, selling the beautiful flowers that she grows and tends to in the church near her home to make her living. By all outward appearances, Aeris is just an innocent, care-free woman, but inside her may just lie the key to a mystery that could change the world.
Tifa Lockheart

A woman strong of both mind and body, Tifa runs the 7th Heaven bar in the Sector 7 slums, as well as a member of the resistance group AVALANCHE. When her childhood friend Cloud walks back into her life after being gone for many years, she starts to find it increasingly difficult to keep her true feelings for him hidden away...
Barret Wallace

Barret is the founder of the resistance group AVALANCHE, whose purpose is to fight back against the corrupt Shinra Inc. Corporation, and halt the damage their Mako Reactors are causing to the planet. This goal, which he has dedicated his entire life to, is one that may turn out to be a bigger threat to the world than even he could have imagined.
Red XIII (Nanaki)

Wise beyond his years, Nanaki is a very noble and proud creature, whose strength of character would put most humans to shame. Raised by his "uncle" Bugenhagen in Cosmo Canyon for most of his life, the young cub has seen little of the outside world. That is, until the fateful day he is kidnapped by the Shinra Inc. Corporation...
Cait Sith

A mysterious little creature, to say the least, Cait Sith sits proudly atop the head of a giant mechanical moogle, Mog; who appears to have a seperate life and whim all of it's own. Presumably employed as a fortune teller in the Gold Saucer. Like most fortune tellers though, his words should not always been taken for truth...
Cid Highwind

Always one to be heard, Cid is a stubborn and often times egotistical codger, disheartened by his failure to realise his dream of being the first man in space, and makes no bones about letting it be known. With his technical wizardry and knowhow, he proves to be a crucial ally... even if he can never keep his %*!&ing mouth shut!
Vincent Valentine

Mysterious and brooding, Vincent Valentine holds inside himself a terrible curse - one that even he does not fully understand. Though he willfully hides himself away from the world for many years, an encounter with Cloud encourages Vincent to join him on his quest to find Sephiroth, in search of a mysterious, enigmatic retribution.
Yuffie Kisaragi

Yuffie Kisaragi hails from a centuries old family line of ninjas, bound by tradition. This hyperactive young girl has more important things to worry about though... such as getting her hands on Cloud's elusive materia! Though her actions seem childish and self-centred, it eventually becomes clear that her motives are not quite so clear cut.
