You may skip this prologue if you want, all it gives is the primary info on the character.
Everyone, first fanfic ever. I think I got tired of reading other peoples stuff and said, hey, why don't I do this. Maybe its because I think I suck at writing. Well, tell me what ya think of it when you finish reading this introduction, and trust me, it's a long introduction.
Warning! I JUST recently got a beta, but I left this prologue as it was. All chapters have now been beta'd
Sephiroth: Oh, you finally found one? And it only took you, what......2 months to find one?
Raiken: Shut it, or I'll throw you to the yaoi fangirls and have them handcuff you to Cloud.
Sephiroth: ...........So be it then, have it your way.
Raiken: I swear to god he's all quiet when around others but won't shut up when around me, why is that?
Sephiroth: Maybe you entertain me with your threatening words…..
Raiken: *blushes* I entertain you? I'm flattered Sephiroth.
Sephiroth: ...........For now at least.
Raiken: .........anyway, on with this impossibly long introduction!
Sephiroth: I told you to let me read over it for you so it wouldn't be so long, but you insisted that I do not.
Raiken: Yeah, one reason, the last thing I told you to proof read, you nearly turned it into a psychological horror/mystery/tragedy.
Sephiroth: Not my fault. You told me to, as you say, 'scare people shit-less' with the extreme gruesomeness of violence and mental hardships of other people who are on the brink of insanity.
Raiken: Yeah, I told you to do that, but-
Sephiroth: Then I don't see how I did anything wr-
Raiken: I didn't tell you to make it so one person became so screwed up by it that he actually DID go insane and committed mass murder in his apartment!
Sephiroth: ............
Raiken: I arrest my case
Sephiroth: Not my fault he took it seriously, he was just some pathetic human who already had a mental problem, and by reading a certain story, inevitably made him even more trifled with his own life, causing him to have a mental break-down, and then proceed to take it out on others with violence.
Raiken: You still did it
Sephiroth: I will not discuss this matter anymore, begin with the introduction.
Raiken: *whispers* He's just saying that because he knows he did it.
Sephiroth: I can hear you
Raiken: On with the introduction!
I DO NOT OWN Final Fantasy VII, nor do I own Sephiroth. They are the sole property of Square Enix. Except for Axil Shockwire and some more OC's I will introduce later.
People, this is an adventure type story, except for some things that make this story M-rated. Like violence and use of language. And some really bad pranks.
Name: Axil Shockwire (real first name Alexis)
Age in Before Crisis:13-15
Age in Crisis Core throughout:16-20
Age in Advent Children: 24
Age in Dirge of Cerberus: 25
Height: 4'9 (very short, but petite and well-toned)
Skin color: dark-skinned (like Barret)
Eye color before joining Shinra: dark brown
Eye color after joining: Bluish-green glow
Hair color Jet black, hangs down to mid-back
Attitude: Can be very nice when meeting new people, but becomes extremely dangerous when people comment about her height. Can be easily angered or saddened, but will most likely dismiss it if you say you're sorry. Loves to sleep; a lot. Loves qiuet when sleeping. Warning, will be hell to pay if you wake her up. But when not asleep, is always working on a new invention, or if not doing that, pestering Sephiroth and the other two generals. Loves to create devices or vehicles for friends as a way of thanks, or if she just feels like a strong sense of leadership when in critical situations, but will play around with the enemy if they are not what they seem to be. A little accident back in Techno city before she left caused a very dangerous behavioral change if she gets mad. To moniter situations if she does become angry, she has created a device that will guage her attitude. It resembles a thin black band that goes around the near her shoulder area on her right arm. 5 bars are indicators, if anyone should light up, get help, even if it is just one bar. When the anger does take over, her eyes become red and form cat-like slits, but still retain the white around area. She also grows short, and not too sharp fangs. Warning! Her rage states can lead to her not being able to sometimes diffirentiate friend form foe. Even she tends to have her qiuet time, and when she knows a situation is tense, will try to lighten the mood, but if it's a matter that really has no room for it, will responsively for whatever happened. She also has a thing for doing death-defying stunts and dragging people along with her. You may not seem interested, but you'll be eventually drawn into it. Most stunts cause concern for others around her, but she just laughs it off and will just tell you how awesomely cool it was when she's done. And it may not be a good idea to hide things from her. With her ingenious skills, how could she resist finding out about other people. She didn't hack into Shinra's most guarded and secret files ever about the entire corp just for fun, did she? But don't worry, if it was something that was meant to be kept from other people knowing about, she'll keep it under wraps. But that didn't mean she didn't exploit SOME people with pranks that she and Genesis pulled while in Shinra. She loves to play when she fights, often confusing oponents; or she just plain finishes it quickly. But when dangerous situations arise, you can count on her to put up a serious front and exude potentialness, worthy of Sephiroth's admiration to end it with the least possible casualties.
Accessories: A light blue crystal that looks as if it hasn't been refined, hanging on a thin, but very strong thread around her neck. It rests just past her neckline. A pair of black modifies goggles hang around her neck(in contrast to Cid's being worn on his forehead) Two silver guantlets that wrap around her arms from her wrists to almost touching the elbows. When not active, they look like ordinary guarding braces, but with her modifications, has transformed them into her fighting source. On the top, a slit hole on both bands form and on her command, can make two mid-length, double-edged blades materialize. Next form is when not using sword form, can make two bullet-sized holes appear and can shoot almost endless amount of lasers out of them. 3rd form is probably most used form. Mostly for work, she can make what appears to be liquid metal form around her hands and then form mildly sharp, but less dangerous claws on her fingertips. It then hardens to resemble as if her hands looked like they were so badly damaged that she had to relace them with mechanical hands like Barret's. She uses this form for fighting alot too, so as not to damage her hands. That would easily set a bar off if she damaged her hands. Her braces are the sources for everything; her vitals, time, store data, visual phone, can scan things, and basically operates all of her weapons and another device. In the bottom of her boots ( if she gets new ones, she'll just transfer the device from the old ones to the new ones) with a simple touch of a button on her guantlet, can make two halves of what appears to be a split board come out of both feet. Once fully formed out, they will auomatically connect together to form a thin, silver version of a hoverboard, but much sleeker and without the bulk that Vincent used in DoC. She can connect and disconnect from the board at will, making it so that she won't get thrown off so easily.
Attire in Before Crisis and Crisis Core: The SOLDIER black uniform for first-classers. But she despises the bulky shoulder armor, so she got rid of it.
Attire in FFVII and throughout: Still the same black SOLDIER uniform pants and boots, but the top has only been altered by being white and she has made two short sleeves for the arms instead of it being sleeveless. And without the SOLDIER insignia belt. She also two half cape strips (much like Cloud's but thinner) that hang down on both sides of her legs from the top of her pants.
Relationships: With the three generals, is like a little sister to them. She even warmed to Sephiroths heart. With Kouji, he is like a younger brother, in a wolf-lion way(will explain later). With Reyne, like a best friend, but maybe he thinks more than that. With Zack, Almost exactly like a brother who is only a few months younger than you.( okay, I still need to figure out a few things so not everyone will appear to her yet)
Raiken: And now, I'll let Axil herself take over.
Background: I, can't exactly tell you that, but since you look like you are no harm to my city, I'll tell you. I am from a city that has kept itself hidden from the outside world, a city of infinitely vast technology from the like you've never see, okay, I think I'm boring you now with this prelude to introducing my city.
It's called Techno city, yeah, I know: cliché right? But that's what they decided to name it long ago. We have kept this city from the outside world for many years, about near 100 I think. We have kept it hidden with a special cloaking device that can neither be penetrated, nor disturbs the wildlife around it.
And the only way to get through it is, wait, why am I telling you this. I'll save it for later. Anyway, or city is full of, geniuses.
Yeah, I said geniuses. Since our city has kept to itself for nearly a hundred years, we have had no one to taint the gene pool we have had for ages. The people who first started this city were what you called scholars. People who loved to study everything there was about life and the universe itself. But they were different types of scholars. The ones who were into technology kind.
They eventually found other scholars along the way and decided to settle down and founded a city together. The city kept progressing and progressing even more so that by the time Midgar officially started to use Mako as an energy source, we had already perfected a device that could power an entire city block, no matter how much energy the occupants or business used, for 6 months. We had long ago figured out the Mako energy was the life source of the planet, so we opted on finding a different source. The heads of our city now could've spread our knowledge of an alternative energy, but they simply decided that the outside world was not ready for our advances. They still observe the outside world from newspapers and television news, but I don't think they want anyone to ever come to this city and find out all of our secrets.
That's where our actual IQ levels come in. Sure, geniuses are classified at a certain IQ level that they are indeed a brainiac. I believe the IQ level for being considered an average genius 140. But the highest IQ has to be from 180-200 to be considered highest genius.
But our IQ goes far beyond that. The range of IQ in our city goes from 230 to 350.
Yes, I know; unbelievable right?
And some geniuses in the 140 range already have pressure from so much knowledge that they break down.
Not us. We have taught ourselves to not be overwhelmed by things that are only in our mind. We have more things going on in our head than those geniuses in the 140 levels. But we overcame it.
So you might say that Techno city, is THE most intellectual city in the world. The person that holds the highest IQ range will one day be made into a person that stands for the entire city.
And at this moment, that person is me.
My IQ is 345. There has only ever been one person whose IQ was 350, but that was long ago. The man before me that was the representative for the city's' IQ was 347, 2 points higher than mine. But he died a while ago, making me the new representative.
Our city also holds another secret.
We harbor another race with us.
They are called the Veshuka.( I know, not a great name. Think of them as like a race similar to Khimarhi's race from Final Fantasy X, but instead of lion-like creatures, their tigers. Fur color ranges from original orange with black stripes, black with white stripes, and white with black stripes. And instead of speaking in 2nd person, they talk normally like humans, but they still have their own language too. And no horns on foreheads; And instead of tribal clothing like their race wears, they dress in our clothing as well.) They have been with us for as long as when the city was first founded I think. We took them in becuase they had nowhere else to go, so we gladly accpeted them for who and what they were without also age slower than we humans do, like Red XIII does. For every 3 years, they only age 1 year. But just because their bodies age slower, doesn't mean their mind s don't.
Actually, one of my best friends is a Veshuka. I wonder how he's doing right now.
Well, let's move on to the size of Techno city. You're not gonna believe how big this city is since I told you that we have to conceal it. But the actual size of Techno city is about the size of 4 Midgars put together.
I'm serious! Our city is that huge! For now I won't tell you where it is located, but its spacious enough to be covered by a cloaking device and not disturb the environment around it. Not that we're segregating or anything, but the Veshuka have their own part of the city too. But you can barely tell the difference cuz' we go on their side as much as they do our side. Out of the 2 million people(including Veshuka), they make up about 300,000 of the population. Their side is about the size of 1 Midgar and a half. They have the same rights as we do, and are welcome to live on our side of the city too. When humans and Veshuka walk the street together, nobody stares; cuz' they've been apart of this city for so long now, that they seem like us. There is no discrimination for their size or how different they look. They have become a permanent part of this city that cannot be accepted anywhere else. Most people on the outside would immediately accuse them of being monsters and kill them.
They know how are technology operates, and have even evolved to the point where their intellect is with our own IQ.
They have truly become an unforgettable race within our city. They treat those who are smaller than them with kindness, and are quick to act when trouble arises. And when making friends with them, they will treat you like a blood relative. They honor trust among all things and would without a second thought protect you with their lives, be it you are human or Veshuka.
But noone really has the crime problem here in the city. Our city is peaceful, hardly ever any crime or fights.
We in this city also have a little secret.
We love to fight.
Not in the bloodshed sense, but for fun. So much so, that we created a special arena for fighting.
But I'll explain that later.
Anyway, I just thought I'd let everyone know who I was, and what I have done for so many people in my life.
I left my home to do something more than in my city. I joined Shinra, and met probably the greatest people I will ever meet on the outside. But, it turns out, not all of them would be here today where I am right now.
I made decisions on my own without even thinking how it would affect my city. I helped the corporation turn the building into something similar to one of my city's buildings. Helping them along with their own technology is my way of doing something for the outside world.
But nothing will ever change all that I went through when I first joined Shinra.
Raiken: And there you have it people! The prologue for my newest and first story ever, "Final Fantasy VII: The Missing Story"
Sephiroth: More like "Final Fantasy VII: The story of a crazy fan girl who inserted herself into the story but with a different name"
Raiken: ..........Shut up.
Sephiroth: You know it's true, you put yourself in the story.
Raiken: ............
Sephiroth: You didn't think I wouldn't notice how you gave the character ALL of your likenesses. How tall you are, the eye color, hair color and length. And the fact that this is supposed to be a SephirothxOC fic. You were just trying to pair yourself up with me. Admit it.
Raiken: ..................
Sephiroth: Raiken?
Raiken: ................
Sephiroth: Are you feeling okay?
Raiken: ............
Sephiroth: (shrugs) Due to (waves hand in front of Raiken's face) mental difficulties, this prologue is now over. Please review, or I'll come to your house and summon Meteor on you.
Raiken: (incoherent mumbling)
Sephiroth: Oh yes, and constructive criticism would be much appreciated. She wishes to know how this prologue will go over before she actually puts up the first chapter. And she would also like it if people could put up their own fan art of Axil on deviantart, if they have an account. and please notify her of this. I am merely her muse, but on her wishes I will say this….
Yours truly, Raiken
