Description
===========

This mod adds a character based on the Final Fantasy VII character Sephiroth to the game as a playable character as well as his own custom items from other mods of which only the very best possible versions were chosen. The character is a custom race called 'Sephiroth'

The mod contains folders each containing different versions of the character.
The folder labeled 'Full Power Sephiroth' contains an .ESP and a savegame which is saved just after exiting the initial sewers and these allow the player to play as the character with the custom abilities which we implemented in order to make him equal in ability to the 'real' Final Fantasy VII Sephiroth character.
The character has our own custom spells applied to him which are incredibly strong and this version also has his masamune sword fully powered up with our own custom statistics. The reason that this savegame was made outside of the sewers is that the construction set only allows a characters skills and abilities to be set to
a certain level so the rest were added using cheat codes and accessing the race menu which would take place at the sewer exit would cause these changes to be reset. If you wish to keep his stats as they are please ensure that you DO NOT access the race menu via cheat codes as this will reset them to a lesser level.

The folder labeled 'Regular Sephiroth' contains another ESP and savegame for players who wish to play as a character who is not 'God-like' and would rather level the character up themselves. Therefore this version is saved at the VERY start of the game and has all of our custom spells removed and his abilities are
relatively average. This version of the Sephiroth race is basically a carbon copy of the Imperial race both spell and ability/skill wise. This version also has the attack power of the Masamune sword reduced although still relatively strong.


Requirements
============

- Latest Oblivion Patch


- The face of the character was made with Maboroshi Daikon's Natural faces mod installed and it is VERY STRONGLY recommended that this be installed first as the quality of the faces appearance will be much less without it.
