Cloud is the main character in FF7. He was originally a member of Shinra's Soldier, but is now a mercenary who will work for anyone paying the right price. Once Avalanche hire him he gradually becomes caught up in a gigantic struggle for the future of the planet.
Physically, Cloud is one of the most powerful characters in the game, and his other attributes such as magic and so forth are also quite good, just what you'd expect for the main character. Cloud's best weapon is theUltima Sword which does damage based on Cloud's HP. His last limit break is Omnislash, where Cloud hits the enemy multiple times, and it can be more powerful than the fabled Kinghts of the Round materia
