Species: Remnant; (with a link for reference)

History: Here!

Personality: Kadaj, as the first Remnant created by Sephiroth, is the embodiment of his hatred, rage, and madness. In interaction, Kadaj is the most changing of all his brothers. At times, he can be very lucid, driven, and organized, but this disposition can change in an instant to one of anguish and almost melancholy. Being the first, he is closest to Sephiroth, and expresses on more than one occasion a deep-seated anguish at the knowledge they are merely tools to bring about Sephiroth's return. He states himself, however, he does not know Sephiroth, but only knows that he is Mother's favorite, not Kadaj or his brothers, and this frustrates him.

Driven by Sephiroth's will, however, Kadaj is helpless to stop the biting need to find Mother to facilitate his "Reunion". His temperament is decidedly separate from Sephiroth's, though. He can be rash, almost flighty at times, and very childish. Once his mind is set on a goal, however, his will to see that goal carried out gives him an unswerving direction, an outlet for his unstable personality, and a purpose to fill his day.

Kadaj was constructed using the memories of the form and face of a boy, presumably that of a teenager based on his appearance, and his personality reflects that adolescence. He can be impatient and demanding, sure of himself to a fault, and unwilling to accept that others, Rufus and Cloud specifically, might know more than he does, much like a teenager shrugs off the warnings and advice of those older simply because they believe they know better.

Directed, he's capable of mob-mongering speeches bordering on zealotry, such as the speech he gives to the children taken from Edge infected with Geostigma. He promises them freedom from pain, convincing them the Planet was attacking them, punishing them for being Mother's Chosen, and he would make them whole. All they needed to do was watch him, and do as he did. When left to his own devices, though, Kadaj's madness can be chaotic. He enjoys displays of power, and watching the chaos he reaps, but it isn't a malicious joy, but rather the innocent pleasure one would observe in a child who'd constructed something, only to tear it down.

His speech is just as chaotic as his nature, ranging from making business calls to playfully teasing others in conversation. His wording and mannerisms are very child-like in nature, though their content and objectives reflect the intentions of one much older.

The Remnants aren't so much evil as they are completely unaware their actions have any such connotations, good or bad. They were created for a purpose, and while they all have their own personas, they have no real-world experience. It isn't that they are immoral so much as amoral. They have never experienced society, and thus have no sense of right or wrong.

Abilities:
  • Expert Swordsman; His skill in one-on-one combat is such that he can defeat Cloud when he's weakened, and was able to defeat two turks alone.
  • Shapeshifting; He can briefly impersonate deceased people
  • Pain Suppression; He can take away the pain of others and return it if he chooses to.
  • Mist dispersion; He can disperse into a black mist which allows him to move quickly around a battlefield as well as through doorways, vents, etc
  • Summon Mist Monsters; Specifically, he can manifest and control groups of shadow creepers
