Cloud
At age 21, Cloud Strife leads the life of a mercenary for hire. As an ex-member of Shinra's elite squad known as SOLDIER, his fighting skills are in high demand. Cloud joins a rebel group AVALANCHE for their first strike against one of Shinra's huge Mako Reactors that surround the city of Midgar.
Unfortunately, he suffers from severe memory loss and headaches when he tries to remember certain things. Cloud starts off with a cold and tough exterior, but it soon transforms into a much more serious (and at the same time) easygoing manner.
His increasingly deepening relationship with Tifa and Cloud rival his mysterious relationship with Sephiroth.
