Sephiroth X

== Summary ==
Sephiroth X is a very strong and mysterious player. He first appeared in Summer 2007, making a quick name for himself with the deletion of Terror_of_Death with the twilight item. He furthered his chain by deleting other players through lies and his twilight. Aside from Twilight deletions, he also caused mayhem via the Puppet hack, using it to enslave Sammy, Karu, and BelialSempai.
== Appearance ==
Venat has dark skin, and wears a white suit. His hair is green.
== Offline ==
Nothing is known about him offline.
It was originally rumored that he didn't exist offline, displaying yet another one of The World's many mysteries.
It is also rumored that he may be a group of people, or that over the course of his existence ownership of his PC has changed.
== Acquisition of Power ==
Venat started as "Sephiroth X". This name was originally chosen to lure other players into a false sense of security as the name was very "noob-sounding". Venat was eventually revealed to be the player Tetsuya. Tetsuya was close friends with the player Sammy who was dating the rogue admin Maahes. When Maahes went rogue he entrusted Sammy with "Twilight", an item that gave its holder an ability that did not exist elsewhere in the game. This power fired a fast moving projectile that would instantly kill its target. Around this time, AIDA was active in The World. AIDA was an effect that could be toggled on and off. If AIDA was on, your character had increased stats but if you died with your AIDA turned on your character would be deleted.
Since so many high profile players had AIDA, this made Venat's "Twilight" especially dangerous.
== Story ==
Venat's first victim was purely happenstance. Venat logged in and went straight to Hidden Forbidden Holy Ground, a known hangout for high leveled players. While there, he encountered Terror_Of_Death. ToD was a player who had only ever reached the mid-50s level-wise but who lead the largest guild in the game and had recently been in a war with the Player Killer Guild "Havoc", run by Tetsuya and Mouse.
Terror_Of_Death was sitting afk with his AIDA turned on. Sephiroth X immediately killed him with Twilight, deleting his character. When a character was deleted, the global chat announced it. This announcement sent the world into a tailspin.
Acting quickly, Sephiroth X logged out and immediately made a new character with the name "Terror_of_Death" to impersonate the now deleted ToD. Using this guise, he teleported to Hidden Forbidden Dead Wood where he encounted Hiroto, one of the most beloved players and the leader of the newbie-friendly "Moon Tree" guild.
Hiroto had been friends with ToD, so she was quick to be sympathetic about his deletion not realizing that she was actually speaking to Venat and not ToD himself. Venat, under the guide of ToD, asked Hiroto to turn on her AIDA so she could pass its effect onto him however as soon as she turned her AIDA on she was immediately deleted by Venat's "Twilight" item. 
To help establish Venat's power as more than they actually were, Tetsuya enlisted the help of his friends Karu and Sammy to act as though Venat had hacked them and also deleted his own character to blame it on Venat. Sammy also sacrificed her character to Venat to help establish his notoriety. 
During the Civil War within the player killing guild "Havoc" between leaders Mouse and Tetsuya, Venat targeted and deleted Mouse (one of the most established and well-liked player killers in the game). Now powerless at his low level, Mouse made amends with Tetsuya who now assumed sole leadership of the guild. 
== 2008 ==
In 2008 Sephiroth X returned, under the new name of 'Venat'. After popping up around [The World] he seems to have disappeared.
Around the end of 2008, it was revealed that all along Venat was Tetsuya. This was revealed after Tetsuya was banned for an inappropriate forum avatar by Tetsuya himself.
