Age: 32 Date of Birth: Feburary 22 Birthplace: Rocket Town Hair: Dirty blonde Eyes: Blue Height: 5'8 Blood type: B Weapon: Spear Job: Pilot Cid is an expert pilot and mechanic who dreams of one day becoming the first man in space. His dream would have been fulfilled, but he abouted a launch in order to save the life of one of his crew. Now he spends his time trying to repair his inoperable rocket in the hopes that Shinra may one day reinstate its space program, giving him another chances at fulfilling his dream. With his lance in hand, Cid is always prepared for battle. His fighting skills are top-norch and come in handy throughout most of the game. His Limit Breaks are very helpful when fighting the evil hordes that threaten to consume the land. You'll notice that they all cause direct damage rather than affecting status or healing the party. Cid's statistics are pretty average all the way around, which can help or hinder his performance depending on how he is equipped. The following paragraph was written by

Cid Highwind was born in Midensburg, the town now known as Rocket Town. At a very young age Cid was interested in aviation. His room was filled with paper airplane models. After high school, Cid joined Shin-Ra's aviation school and became one of their top pilots, the best in the world. Known to everyone as "The Captain". It was no surprise that when Shin-Ra started up it's space program, Cid was hired as the man to fly the Rocket into space. Being his dream and goal in life to soar into space, Cid quickly got on the project and the Shin-Ra 26 rocket was built. Before take off, an assistant was reported still in the engine fixing the oxygen tanks. It was Shera, Cid's girlfriend- if you want to call her that. Not wanting to be a murderer, Cid aborted the launch. Shera was willing to sacrifice herself for Cid as well as the rest of the crew by staying in the engine fixing the tanks, a major problem that was overlooked. Cid was very resentful towards Shera for ruining his dreams, as the Shin-Ra corporation canceled the space program and moved on to better things. Things only got worse for Cid when the airship he built, the Highwind, was taken from him by the Shin-Ra. The only pride he had left was the Tiny Bronco, a small airplane he loved. Shera remained with Cid, waiting on him hand and foot, if some how to make up for the grief she caused him, though Cid treats her horribly. Cid's foul language and cigarette addiction make him the hands down comic relief of Final Fantasy VII. Cid's future brightens up when Cloud and his party find their way to Rocket Town and ask for the Tiny Bronco..... Personality: Cid is best described as brash and opinionated. He says whatever's on his mind, and he isn't willing to take no for an answer. He has a bad tendency to curse, and his chain smoking gets on everyones' nerves. Despite his faults, he is loyal to the group and his friends. |
