So I did some quick sketches back in April of a FF7 headcanon I’ve had for a while.  

The world and character designs are decidedly more diesel punk to match all the awesome art deco design on the buildings of ff7.  The headcanon mostly consists of Aerith being a ‘flower girl’ and Cloud visiting her often because he’s a lonely, depressed soldier who has ideal dreams of saving the girl and freeing her from a rather shitty life.  One night he’s followed when he goes to see her and she’s taken by the Turks and held captive for Shinra’s crazy government run experiments.  Both guilt and love motivate him to betray his country and turn against his fellow soldiers (and old mentor, Sephiroth) to get her back.  After saving Aerith and realizing how immoral the government he willingly supported is, he begins a hunt to find the man responsible for it all, Dr. Hojo.   He then teams up with a rag-tag crew to become the terrorist he used to suppress.

Sephiroth and Aerith are totes siblings in this au thing, both being ancients and hearing the call of the planet, although Seph was messed with in-vitro and thus a product of both the ancients and the alien life form.  This conflict drives him mad and we get a Seph that we’re all a little more familiar with.

Yup.
