What Can Their Names Be?

By Aeris

Disclaimer: I don’t own FF7. And don’t get all pissy at me for anything in this, I’m just really bored and have been thinkin about why these poor people ain’t got no names. The last names I have here are Japanese; the English meaning is in parenthesis next to it. Enjoy! Reviews and constructive criticism are welcome.

Tseng Karasu (raven)

A raven flys in grace, black as the starless midnight sky…

Tseng can resemble a raven. Dark hair and pale skin make him look somewhat ominous; someone you don’t want to mess with. Obviously, he makes a good addition to the Turks.

Reno Okibi (blazing fire)

Fire burns with uncontrolled fierceness, its wild spirit untamed…

In the game, Reno seems to have a wild spirit. Brave, yet with a unique attitude. Uncontrolled. Defying rules; uniform open and blazing hair unrestrained. He fits the description of a wild brushfire.

Rude Shinobinaku (to shed silent tears)

Silence is the virtue of sadness, emotions are left without expression…

Rude’s words are few and far-between. His eyes are always hidden by dark glasses; the windows of his soul are covered with darkness. Perhaps some sad events have caused this? Silence has become one with his soul…

Elena Nonbiri (carefree)

The life of a carefree one…never worrying about the little things in life, nor the bigger things. Taking on whatever life tosses towards them…

Perhaps Elena was a tomboy as a child. Not many women seem to enjoy SOLDIER. Yet she took it on and rose up to be a Turk. She seems to be carefree, yet clumsy at times. But always with reason.

Sephiroth Keikan (strong and fierce)

Strength and weakness separate by a fine line; not everyone is what they seem… fierceness can bring downfall…

Raised in abusive environments, exposed to horrible experiments, at a young age. Sephiroth would have had to be strong, or he wouldn’t have survived such torture. He breezed through SOLDIER, reaching the top rank in a matter of years. Hero to many, yet something was missing. And the alien had taken advantage of that…

(Yes, I know Hojo is his father and yet he has a different last name, but… I refuse to accept the fact that Hojo is his father. So there. r_r )

Hojo Ranshin (going mad)

Madness overcomes the minds of those with ill reason…

Obviously, this won’t need much explanation. Hojo did everything in the name of science. He put his own wife through horrendous things during her pregnancy even, which caused her untimely death in the end. And his son, he labeled as ‘specimen,’ ‘Jenova project,’ nothing more than a creation… his ill thoughts took over his mind. He would go to great lengths in the name of science.

Lucrecia Kenbo (wise mother)

Mother, teach me…enlighten me, you are wise.

It seems almost as if Lucrecia was brought into the Jenova project blindly; maybe she was told that it wouldn’t hurt her, or her baby, or anyone else in that matter. And she believed it. Trusting the mad scientist to be her husband, to father her child, to have a family with her. Trusting him to love even. And because of him she never held her child. Maybe if she hadn’t died things would have turned out different; maybe Sephiroth wouldn’t have gone insane, maybe Jenova wouldn’t have had the chance to infest his fragile brain. Lucrecia would have realized Hojo’s ill goals and run off with her baby for a better life.

(Then again…we wouldn’t have a game now would we?)

That’s all for now, people… if you want more, send some reviews. ^.^;
