Sephiroth was a top ranking SOLDIER officer, the most powerful and skilled fighter there ever was, many people admired him. Sephiroth's final mission for Shinra was to investigate a Mako reactor in the Nibelheim mountains. When in Nibelheim, Sephiroth reveals that he never had a proper family, his mother, whose name was Jenova, died after giving birth to him, Sephiroth doesn't ever mention anything about a father, but he does say he has no home town. They get to the reactor and inside Sephiroth discovers capsules containing monsters, he says that they were once human, but have been exposed to a large amount of Mako energy, so they mutated. He also says that Shinra SOLDIERs are given small doses of Mako energy to give them more power. Aswell as the capsules there was a chamber at the top with 'Jenova' written above it, Sephiroth realises that it is the same name as his mother's, he starts to think. He wasn't a standard SOLDIER, he was the most powerful and the strongest SOLDIER in the Shinra army, this made him wonder if he was 'created' in the same way as the monsters in the capsules (since Jenova was kept in a chamber next to them), was he an experiment? Sephiroth's files were secret, kept locked away somewhere. Somehow Sephiroth knows of the hidden library in the Shinra mansion (back in Nibelheim) and decides to go there and find out his true origins
Sephiroth disappears for days in the Shinra Mansion library, reading everything he can find that might be connected with who he really is. He finds out two major things, about the Ancients and the Jenova Project. He learns that he was created through the Jenova Project, and that Jenova was his mother. Here's a bit more on that project... It began when scientists found an organism, 2000 years old which they identified as being one of the Ancients (Cetra). It was named, Jenova. The Cetra were an Ancient race of people who lived on the planet before humans did. They had special powers and could communicate with the planet. When they died they would go to the promised land, a place which Shinra decided would be full of Mako energy, so of course they wanted to find it. They appointed three scientists to work on the Jenova project, where they would recreate the Cetra using the cells of Jenova. Shinra wanted the recreated Cetra to lead them to the promised land. And it was through this project that Sephiroth was created. Sephiroth also read about the Ancients, he learned that the planet once belonged to the Cetra. A Crisis struck the planet, it put the lives of everyone and ultimately the entire planet in danger. Some of the Cetra fled from the danger, leaving the rest to die whilst saving the planet. The cowardly Cetra were the ancestors of humanity. Since Sephiroth was the son of Jenova, who was a Cetra, he believed that he was the rightful heir to the planet, and as the humans were traitors (since their ancestors were the Cetra who ran away from the crisis) they should be punished for what they did and he must return the planet to it's rightful owners, him and his mother, Jenova." Upon discovering what he believed to be his true identity, Sephiroth, in a fit of rage, anger, and hatred towards humanity, burned down Nibelheim and slaughtered everyone there (except Cloud, Tifa and Zack) he then proceeded to the Mako reactor to be reunited with his mother. Inside the reactor both Tifa and Zack tried to stop him and failed, then Cloud stabs him in the back, naturally Sephiroth skewers Cloud with his masamune, but unfortunately that wasn't the end, as Cloud somehow manages to chuck Sephiroth into the Mako pit at the bottom of the reactor. After this event, it was reported that Sephiroth had died. Shinra decided to move Jenova to their headquarters to carry on their experiments. Then five years later, someone attacked the Shinra headquarters and stole Jenova from her chamber, this person killed everyone there including president Shinra, who was found with a long sword sticking out of his back... Cloud identifies this person to be Sephiroth due to the masamune sword, as Sephiroth is the only one in the world who can handle it. But, Sephiroth was meant to be dead?! But actually Sephiroth wasn't exactly dead (heh). Mako energy is really the lifestream of the planet, the force which keeps it alive (although Shinra don't know this, or maybe they do and don't particularly care) and after Sephiroth was thrown into the Mako pit, he was carried by the lifestream and ended up cocooned in a capsule of Mako in the northern crater. Here he continued his plans, with the power of his mind (and jenova cells most likely) he controlled various Sephiroth clones (or some kinds of manifestations of himself) to search for the promised land, the place where the Cetra went to become one with the planet. And he also searched for a way to punish humanity for being 'traitors'. Sephiroth travels around the world, and goes to the Temple of the Ancients, here he absorbs the knowledge of the Ancients and creates his master plan. He would use something called the black materia, with this, he would summon Meteor, the most powerful force known. When Meteor hits the earth, it will injure the planet so badly that an immense amount of lifestream (mako energy) would be sent to the wound by the planet to try and heal itself. Sephiroth would wait in the wound and merge with the lifestream and become one with the planet. This would make him and Jenova rulers of the planet and also destroy everything, thus punishing the humans. The only thing that can stop Meteor is Holy, contained in the white materia this equally powerful force would save the planet from destruction. Aeris is the only one who knows this (since she is a true Cetra) and goes to pray for Holy. Sephiroth kills Aeris while she is in the middle of praying and continues with his plans. Unfortunately Aeris had managed to do enough. After Sephiroth was killed by Cloud and his friends, the planet was saved by Aeris' prayer and good triumphed again. |

'Lost World' Found in Frozen Antarctica
Two teams of researchers, working separately thousands of miles from each other but both defeating incredible odds, have made stunning finds in frozen Antarctica--so stunning that the National Science Foundation calls their discoveries evidence of a lost world. The researchers found what they believe to be the fossilized remains of two species of dinosaurs previously unknown to science. One is a 70-million-year old quick-moving meat-eater found on the bottom of an Antarctic sea, while and the other is a 200-million-year-old giant plant-eater that was found on the top of a mountain, reports Reuters. The lost world in which these two dinosaurs lived was very different from the Antarctica we know now. Their Antarctica was not frigid and frozen. Their Antarctica was warm and wet. See photos of the dinosaur fossils found in Antarctica. The 70-million-year-old carnivore was small for a dinosaur at just 6 to 8 feet tall. Scientists believe it is an entirely new species of carnivorous dinosaur that is related to the enormous meat-eating tyrannosaurs and the equally voracious, but smaller and swifter, velociraptors. Think "Jurassic Park." Now scream in terror! Found on James Ross Island off the coast of the Antarctic Peninsula by a team led by Judd Case from St. Mary's College of California, it likely floated out to sea after it died and then sank to the bottom of the Weddell Sea. Reuters explains that its bones and teeth show that it was a two-legged animal that survived in the Antarctic long after other predators took over elsewhere on the globe. "One of the surprising things is that animals with these more primitive characteristics generally haven't survived as long elsewhere as they have in Antarctica," Case told Reuters. Look what else scientists recently found in Antarctica--something that was totally surprising. The 200-million-year-old herbivore, a primitive sauropod that had a long neck and four legs, was found by a team led by William Hummer from Augustana College in Rock Island, Illinois on the 13,000-foot high Mt. Kirkpatrick near the Beardmore Glacier. When this dino lived, the area was a soft riverbed. The team found dinosaur bones, specifically part of a huge pelvis and ilium. "This site is so far removed geographically from any site near its age, it's clearly a new dinosaur to Antarctica," Hammer told Reuters. This dinosaur was probably about 30 feet long, but was part of a lineage that went on to produce animals as large as 100 feet long. A creature unlike any other was recently dug up in Chile. Click to find out the astounding facts! Both excavations were supported by the National Science Foundation, an independent federal agency that supports fundamental research and education across all fields of science and engineering. Did birds evolve from dinosaurs? Scientists have found fossilized remains of a dinosaur with four feathered wings, a find that strengthens that theory.

Ways to Identify Common Minerals Email this Story Mar 23, 2:39 PM (ET) By The Associated Press Many common minerals can be identified by studying features such as fracture, cleavage, crystal system, habit, hardness, color and streak. _Minerals can break in different ways. If a mineral breaks in an irregular way, leaving rough surfaces, it possesses fracture. _If a mineral breaks along well-defined planes of weakness, it possesses cleavage. _Most minerals form crystals which can be categorized in crystal systems according to their symmetry and number of faces. _A mineral's habit is the typical form taken by an aggregate of its crystals. _The relative hardness of a mineral may be assessed by testing its resistance to scratching. This property is typically measured using Moh's Scale, which increases in hardness from 1 (talc) to 10 (diamond). _Some minerals have a range of colors so it is not a dependable guide to identification. _Streak is the color the powdered mineral makes when rubbed across an unglazed tile. |
