The story takes off in the futuristic metropolis of Midgar, where our heroine Cloud Strife. He is a soldier turned mercenary with a BFS, joins the eco-terrorist organization AVALANCHE alongside his old friend Tifa Lockhart and resident Scary Black Man with a machine gun for a hand, Barret Wallace. Together they fight against the evil Mega Corp Shinra Company, who provided power to the citizens of Midgar by essentially sucking the life force straight from the planet itself, using their power to get rid of anyone in their way.
Cloud is separated from the team when a terrorist strike goes wrong, and meets the plucky flower girl Aerith Gainsborough in the slums of Sector 5, eventually reuniting with Tifa via offering himself up for prostitution. Soon after, Shinra tries to crush the group by destroying an entire sector of the city slums, and kidnap Aerith, with Shinra believing her to be the last of The Ancients and hoping to experiment on her. Cloud and the remaining members of AVALANCHE raid Shinra's headquarters, and after a series of mishaps and encounters, learn of Shinra's plans...and find the company president dead in his office, impaled by an impossibly long sword that could only have been wielded by the legendary SOLDIER Sephiroth, the man at the centre of Cloud's Dark and Troubled Past. Escaping the city with the knowledge that Sephiroth is out there somewhere, Cloud, and company set off on a journey around the world to find him.
Final Fantasy VII Characters:
Cloud Strife
He is a former top-ranking member of Shinra's elite paramilitary unit, SOLDIER. Now working as a mercenary- for- hire, he takes a job with the anti-Shinra organisation AVALANCHE to bring down his old employers. Actually, a low-level Mook whose failures to qualify for SOLDIER left him with severe self-confidence issues. He then gets put through so much mind-scrambling experimentation that he confuses his own memories and achievements with those of his best friend Zack Fair. After the truth is revealed, he suffers a Heroic BSOD, but thanks to a Journey to the Center of the Mind, he comes to terms with who he is and rebuilds his persona from the ground up.
Tifa Lockheart
She is a member of AVALANCHE and Cloud's childhood friend. She also owns a bar called "7th Heaven" in Sector 7 of Midgar.

She vows not to let the same thing happen again, gaining the strength to help Cloud rebuild his persona.
