At least this Hojo guy doesn't work for Pheno Trans. God only knows what he'd do there.
"Shake the dust." - Anis MojganiShe's in a self-imposed state of suspended animation right now. I wouldn't recommend talking to her, though.
Unfortunately, your birth father is... is Hojo.
Sorry.
And you do looks facially enough like him, if you've ever seen a picture of Hojo when he was younger. Your mother left Turk Vincent Valentine — again, a Shinra employee that mysteriously vanished and was declared dead around the time of your birth — for him after a lengthy affair. But those are your parents.
Jenova, in all honesty, is nothing but a material donor.
Which brings me to my next point. You asked if you had wronged me. You haven't. Yet.

MY SOUL IS DARK BUT MY HAIR IS COLORFUL — Brahian Pokémon AlchemistHey, at least your mother isn't Scarlet. Then I'd have to kill you right now, because that woman should never be allowed to breed.
Okay...
I said time is a bit screwy in this room.
In one year's time, you will go mad and be directly responsible for the destruction of Nibelheim — my hometown — and the murder of every single one of its citizens, sans two people, not including myself.
Five years after that, you and I will be directly responsible for the destruction of Midgar, and the murder of ninety percent of the world's population.
Two years after that, you'll wipe out an untold number of survivors with a plague of your own... "creation."
And I was at ground zero for all of it.
Ask questions. It'll help me get through this if I can say what needs to be said.
MY SOUL IS DARK BUT MY HAIR IS COLORFUL — Brahian Pokémon AlchemistIt's the truth, all of it. I'll spare you the details. You found something in the basement of the Shinra Manor on a mission to repair a leaking reactor. You read Hojo's notes, and you took them out of context because of your incomplete knowledge. That, and the fact that the crazy gene runs in your family, thanks to your father. You lost it, burned down the town, killed everyone, attacked the girl who eventually became my wife, killed my mother, and assaulted Zack, who was with you, when he tried to stop your rampage.
Which brings me to my next point. Jenova is not a human. In fact, technically, she's not even a she.
MY SOUL IS DARK BUT MY HAIR IS COLORFUL — Brahian Pokémon AlchemistI'll summarise what you're going to read one year from now. Jenova was found in a 2000 year-old geological stratum at Knowlespole, specifically Gaea's Cliff. She was mistakenly believed to be one of the Ancients — the Cetra — but this is also a lie. I've met an Ancient. I was rather good friends with her. They look nothing like Jenova.
However... well...
Point four.
Okay.
Neither of us are human.
There's no shame in it. But surely you must have noticed... your strength, your speed, your senses... that little voice, whispering in the back of your head. It's not just the mako. Other members of Soldier, they're just injected with cells, but you and I — we're different.
Again; there is no shame in it. None.

MY SOUL IS DARK BUT MY HAIR IS COLORFUL — Brahian Pokémon AlchemistWe're... er... fragments of Jenova. Reunion Theory is easy enough to understand: Chop Jenova into little pieces, and those pieces will assemble. That voice is Jenova — who is not your mother, by the way, just want to reiterate that — calling us all together.
-suddenly, voice- {And we're all bound by the same mind.}
Any questions before I move onto the next point?
MY SOUL IS DARK BUT MY HAIR IS COLORFUL — Brahian Pokémon AlchemistJenova. I told you, we're different. Every fragment of Jenova is bound together, if not physically, then mentally. The reason we look different is because while we both underwent the same procedure, your parents, uh...
...they did it to you in utero.
...
Take comfort in the fact that you weren't awake for it. -shudders-
I'm sorry.
Still, you need to make peace with who you are, or you'll go crazy. I've seen it.
MY SOUL IS DARK BUT MY HAIR IS COLORFUL — Brahian Pokémon AlchemistI know. And I'm sorry.
I, however, am telling you the truth. When you told me, you twisted the facts and —
I'm sorry. I know it wasn't you, specifically. I'm just... a bit resentful of that, after all these years.
Anymore questions? Point five is a doozy.
MY SOUL IS DARK BUT MY HAIR IS COLORFUL — Brahian Pokémon AlchemistYeah... turns out they were right the whole time. The Planet is pissed. And also dying. The Lifestream is real, and there are these things called Weapons that... well, I'm getting ahead of myself.
I'll be frank with you. Shinra needs to go.
-leans on the table and steeples his fingers-
I want you to commit high treason.

-Mime flinches at the sound of this evil sounding Hojo man. Thank goodness he didn't know any evil scientists!-
