Minerva's Blessing

by Snow Leopard Pasha

The world starts breaking apart and there are only five who are given the opportunity by Minerva to go back in time and change that future. Tseng, Genesis, Cloud, Vincent, and Weiss are sent back fourteen years...What could possibly go wrong?

41. List of Current OC's

List of OC's in Minerva's Blessing

Here's the list of OC's for anyone who wants to read it, or part of it. Some of the characters are only going to show up later, but I know they're going to be in the story now, so are included in the list. If other OC's show up later, they'll be added to this list; as such, this is a running list and may still change before Minerva's Blessing is done. Yes, that means there are some minor spoilers here, especially in the SOLDIER list!

It's been split into categories from most number of important/recurring OC's to least important/non-recurring OC's, so the Turk and SOLDIER OC's are first (they're almost all recurring and important), followed by other Shinra employees and non-Shinra characters. There's also a short list of OC's in applicable sections which were named but will probably never be mentioned again, but it didn't make sense to have those as part of a highly detailed list.

Feel free to read as much or as little of the list as you like. At the end of each section is a brief list of canon characters in active use in the story so far because some readers wanted that offset, but I thought it would take up too much space to give the known characters the same attention as the OC's. Some canon characters may never be part of this story, but they'll also be added in a running list if they end up turning up.

If someone you think should be on the list isn't, please leave me a review or send me a PM to let me know! Also tell me if you think I should add the pets to the appropriate person's name or in a separate list, otherwise only one person's is note here.

Turks: listed by code name, primary weapon, age, general hiring date, hometown, and a brief description (in that order). When I first created this list (long before Minerva's Blessing started), nearly all these OC Turks were based on characters from other games/movies/books/animes/mangas; if you think any of them are familiar, they probably are. If you want to know who these characters were based on, leave a review or send me a PM requesting so.

End List

*When Donnel came out of the Rocket Town area, it didn't have that name, and 'Rocket Town' has not quite been named yet.

(1) Yes, I know the English translation of this usually becomes Yuffie, but that's not a possible Japanese/Wutain spelling for the name, and it makes me think of a 'fluffy dunce', so I take the direct translation of the Japanese characters—Yufi. Yes, this means I have a plan to include her in the future.

Is there anything else you want to see on this list? If so, please let me know so I can add it!
