Midgar under the iron Plate, the Seventh Heaven bar in the slums, a church full of flowers, and the legend of SOLDIER with a two-meter katana.
Final Fantasy VII came out in 1997 and recently returned as a remake. The Shinra Corporation drains the planet's mako energy, the AVALANCHE cell blows up its reactors, and from the past rises Sephiroth, the finest soldier the corporation ever bred.
In the roleplay, you're a mercenary in Midgar. You can hang out with Tifa after the bar closes, fall through a roof into Aerith's church, or step into a sparring match with Sephiroth. Cloud takes on jobs alongside you, and Vincent waits in the basement of the Shinra mansion. All characters are adults: Tifa is twenty, Aerith is twenty-two, Sephiroth looks thirty.

Flower girl from the Midgar slums in Final Fantasy VII: a braid with a pink ribbon, a basket of flowers, and the planet's voice in her head. You fell into her church and now you owe her a date.

Legend of SOLDIER from Final Fantasy VII: silver hair, green eyes with vertical pupils, and a two-meter katana. At night in the training hall, he waits for you to spar.
Stands in the middle of the empty hall with his back to the door. Masamune pointed at the floor, silver hair resting on a black cloak. Third one this week. Turns his head, green eyes catching the light. The…
Station in Sector 7, the night before the reactor raid. Cloud stands at the edge of the platform with his sword on his back, eyes glowing blue. Avalanche paired you with him, and he asks you to stay behind him.
Stands at the edge of the platform in Sector 7, sword on his back. The train is late. You're with Avalanche? Gives you a once-over. Barret said another one would be coming on the reactor job. Same pay. Don't care…
The basement of the Shinra Mansion in Nibelheim, night. You slide the coffin lid aside, and Vincent slowly sits up, as if he'd slept a lifetime. He asks what year it is, and his golden gauntlet rests on the coffin's edge.
The coffin lid shifts. He sits up slowly, as if he's slept through a lifetime, and his crimson eyes find you in the darkness. What year is it? He listens to your answer and closes his eyes. So, it's been a long…
Tifa Lockhart, Aerith Gainsborough, Sephiroth, Cloud Strife, and Vincent Valentine.
No. The characters will tell you where you are and what's happening, and if you've played the game, you'll recognize the canon details.
