Sephiroth Cosplay Costume: Be the Ultimate Final Fantasy Bad Boy
Sephiroth first appeared as the main villain in the 1997 video game,
Final Fantasy VII. As the final boss, he had to be defeated to end the
game.
Interestingly enough, Sephiroth had something in common
with the main character, Cloud Strife, in that they were both former
members of SOLDIER, an elite army owned and run by the weapons
manufacturer Shinra Company. SOLDIER members were "produced" to have
superior battle skills. Sephiroth was the strongest of them all.
And
he was insane, too. In the village of Nibelheim, after discovering
that he was an experimental SOLDIER enhanced wiith the Jenova cells,
Sephiroth went into rage, destroyed the village, and killed many. It
was only Cloud who stopped him.
He thought of himself as superior to humans. So he wanted to be a
god.
In order to do so, he needed to merge with Lifestream, the name for the
planet's life force. His success would be catastrophic to inhabitants
of the planet, prompting the hero Cloud Strife and the evil mega
corporation, Shinra, to stop him the best they can.
Before the
onset of the movie, Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children, Sephiroth invented the disease Geostigma. The
impact of this disease set the stage for the movie's storyline.
Sephiroth Cosplay Costume
The basic look of a Sephiroth cosplay costume includes long flowing silver hair and dark
overcoat. He wields a 6-foot long katana (sword) called the Masamune. He is sometimes called as the one-winged angel. But many of his
pictures seldom show his one wing.
