Alright, It's just about ready, I'm tempted to change a few spell animations for it to have a bigger difference, but I don't know if that's too much of a change, and the soldiers is the Avalanche that appeared in one of my mods,
Anywho, this is the survivors of the Soldier unit Avalanche, led by Barret Wallace, former Soldier 2nd class.
The original Avalanche unit consisted of 7 members, and they are as follow. (in no order)
Barret Wallace, 2nd class, Unit leader (lost right hand)
Elfe Flavia, 2nd class, Co-Leader (deceased)
Vladislav Lagounov, 3rd class, Strategist (deceased)
Jesse Grinberg, 3rd class, Demolition expert (lost right leg)
Rudolf Havlicek, 3rd class, Medic (deceased)
Biggs Stasov, 3rd class, Scout (lost right eye and left arm)
Wedge Bramson, 3rd class, Sniper (shot in the left knee)
In a flashback, we actually see everyone in their glory, before they're butchered, yay!
Also, being shot in the knee is a serious thing and is referred to as kneecapping, it causes severe damage and is often done with firearms or power drills and the person has severely lowered mobility, while it can be treated, they can never return to their former ability.
In short, Barret overheard something he shouldn't have, and he was sent on a suicide mission, but as insurance, they cornered him and started to pick them off one by one, outright killing several of them, while Wedge was put out of commission by shoting his knee and they moved to the others, they collapsed an archway, crushing Biggs' arm and Jesse's leg, and so on and so forth.
After this, the remnants realized just how wicked Shinra was and formed a resistance movement, using their former uniforms as a way to to initially bypass security, until the heads start to realize they survived. (Which is why they had to jump off the train) and as their numbers were dwindled, they enlisted the aid of people, and after other mercenaries believed their plan to be too suicidal or plain reckless, they came across Cloud and Tifa, both being mercenaries in this timeline that are trying to raise money to rebuild their hometown.
Also in that timeline, Cloud never joined Soldier, he stayed and worked as a farmer and took part in the city guard with any other men old enough to use a weapon, but when Shinra came and some children got caught in a monster's nest, Shinra, along with Tifa and Cloud who served as guides and help woth the search.
The children were in the Dragon's den, where Schizo was, Zack and Sephiroth forced it back while the others got the children safely away, but Sephiroth and Zack were careless and only killed one head.
As a form of revenge, it followed them, and the fire head set fire to the town, in the aftermath, Sephiroth went to report to HQ, while Zack's guilt weighed heavily on him, and he helped with the reconstruction of the town, but since he can't actually build anything, he was going to raise money, and from a request from Cloud, he trained him how to use a sword, and taught Tifa how to us batons that came from a deceased MP and his own.
But right now, I'm still feeling some pretty heavy depression, so I'll probably just take the rest of the day off.
