Since Cloud is in no position to explain things so you can at least understand on an OOC level, he's not being possessed by another Cloud. This is essentially another personality that shares a closer affinity to the memories of what was the other Cloud, since he fished what was left of him out of the Lifestream as his Planet was ending. Kind of. If that makes sense.
Any questions?
Long story on my end. Or were you just asking in general?

@Space: Split timeline. One from a loooong time ago. This one actually stuck around for nearly a thousand pages. He was originally from a non-doomed timeline, but then Hojo showed up at the room, and things went downhill rapidly from there. His mother cut a deal with the company to be allowed to keep him at home after they were finished with the experiments after Gordon cut through their men, but things got worse anyway, and then a Sora from another timeline showed up and messed with his Heart.
He left, and eventually when he was sixteen he burned with his mother offscreen and unbeknownst to anyone in the Nibelheim fires. Sephiroth absorbs the Lifestream and destroys the Planet early, and that was that for a long time.
Then Cloud, while trying to fix the giant chunks of the omniverse he destroyed while fighting Azathoth, came across what was left of him not long after his death and picked it up and merged it with himself, and went back to Gordon and thanked him for essentially being his father for those few brief months, improving what was by and large a phenomenally shitty childhood.
@Rivux: How many breads have you eaten in your life?
...'Cause it's more than that.

I do have some backstories for my OCs, but never really got around to doing them.
suzy
born with samantha
horrible fire, father burns
suzy and sam almost die
however, dick doctor tells the mother that they can be saved (despite not needing to)
cue sudden KO and horrible experiments on all three
suzy's results does not occur until she is seven
sam always sorta had her power after that
their mother is spoilers
DEL'S BACKSTORY IN BULLET POINTS
- born to a single mother, father was jazz musician, never met him
- lived next door to crack house growing up, has home broken into on several occasions
- had an older brother who was killed in a drive by, del was hit by stray bullet
- played sports to distract himself
- grew to be a minor local celebrity
- Claire noticed him, immediately began dating him, eventually had him move in with her
- was taken (under the guise of a vacation) by Claire's father to a remote location somewhere in Yrv'askaver (basically Romania) where he was bitten by a vampire and contracted vampirism
- only reason he hasn't fully turned was because of tests ran by Claire's father
i am most likely missing so much stuff right now
it would make a lot more sense if I put detail into it
I live in a constant state of fear and misery.shizuka lived
a pretty calm life
i'd imagine they didn't want to involve her in any of the Real Big stand problems and tried to keep her out of it all
at some point they had to hunker down and tell her about stands some more, though, and how to control her's because the last thing they need is a 7 year old who scraped her knee and started crying and turning everything around her invisible
so they tell her, and she inquisitively asks how they know all of this outside of being vaguely cool badasses
and then they tell her watered down stories that manage to hold her down until she gets older and starts understanding that there's more to it, while also aspiring her to be cool and awesome like them, but also making her a complete dork about the rest of her family
what i have devised for shizuka now is that, because joseph is a fuggin' old man and they don't know if he'll keel over in a year or after shizuka's all grown up, they've moved her to morioh to live there and see if she'll want to stay there if he croaks early or stay with her still old as balls mom who's just as liable to keel over
mario is red, i am green, i try my best, but everyone's mean

So, what's going on in the FG?
