## Background

**Loz** is one of three Remnants of Sephiroth, who serves as the personification of Sephiroth’s physical might. Following Sephiroth’s defeat at the hands of Cloud Strife at the end of the original Final Fantasy VII, he decided to return in the form of three distinct avatars, who would adopt different parts of his personality.

Born as a puppet alongside two other brothers (Kadaj and Yazoo), Loz’s main goal on the mortal world was to not only spread the terrible plague of Geostigma, but also locate and join with the head of his “mother,” Jenova; doing so would allow for a final Reunion, that would bring Sephiroth back to the living.

Loz is much more emotional than his brothers and is prone to many outbursts of crying, although he can still maintain an element of physical intimidation. After a large-scale fight through the planet against Cloud and his friends, the Remnants were finally able to recover Jenova’s head within Midgar.

Loz raced through Midgar alongside Yazoo, whilst their brother Kadaj fought against Cloud Strife to retrieve Jenova’s head. As they travelled through the streets, they were opposed by a group known as the Turks, who seemingly killed Loz and Yazoo in an explosion.

Several minutes later, after Kadaj reformed into Sephiroth, Cloud was able to face off against the former SOLDIER and win once again. While Cloud held Kadaj in his final moments, Loz reappeared and attacked Cloud with everything he had. However, as Aerith called down Healing Rain to finally end the conflict, Loz was dissolved into the Lifestream once and for all.

## Statistics

**Tier:** **High 3-A**

**Name:** Loz

**Origin:** Final Fantasy VII

**Sex:** Male

**Age:** Around 2 years old, mentally a child

**Classification:** Remnant of Sephiroth, Embodiment of Sephiroth’s Might

**Alignment:** **Chaotic Evil** (The Remnants of Sephiroth are each extremely immature and represent merely fragments of Jenova's destructive nature. They each have little regard for anything around them, needlessly destroying whatever they can for the sake of bringing despair to the people of Gaia. They're also extremely selfish, hoping that through enough senseless destruction, they can gain acceptance from their mother)

**Dimensionality:** **3-D**

**Attack Potency:** **Multi Supercluster level** (Comparable to Kadaj, who is stated to be just as powerful as Sephiroth during the original game, who can create a dimension containing starry skies and multiple galaxies. He is also consistently stated to be the strongest character in the series, placing him above Bahamut Fury, who can also create a dimension with a starry sky, and Knights of the Round, which can destroy its own dimension containing a galaxy cluster)

**Durability:** **Multi Supercluster level**

**Striking Strength:** **Multi Supercluster Class**

**Lifting Strength:** **Athletic Human**

**Travel Speed:** **Athletic Human** (Is comparable to Cloud Strife, who can run at similar speeds to a Chocobo; Chocobo are said in the Dissidia Final Fantasy Museum to run at 20 mph), **Superhuman** with Motorcycle (The average motorcycle can reach speeds between 80 and 165 mph)

**Combat Speed:** **FTL+**

**Reaction Speed:** **FTL+** (Comparable to Kadaj comparable to Sephiroth during the original game; Sephiroth could react to the comet of his Super Nova)

**Stamina:** **Superhuman** (As a Remnant of Sephiroth, Loz should be comparable to Kadaj; both being able to travel alongside Kadaj and Yazoo throughout the planet on their quest to find Jenova. During this, he faced off against Tifa Lockhart, but never once seemed worn out)

**Range:** **Standard Melee**, **Far Higher** with Materia and Geostigma

**Intelligence:** **Gifted** (Is notably much less intelligent than his two brothers, to a significant degree. However, despite not valuing brains much at all, Loz has shown a certain combative intelligence that he uses to take on Tifa Lockhart, who has been a fighter for years)

### **Powers and Abilities**

* Abilities
* Resistances
* Cloud’s Materia

* Innate
* Unique

**Spirit Energy Physiology**, which includes:

**Superhuman Physical Characteristics**, **Blessed** (Everyone born into the world is blessed with Spirit Energy), **Sheer Will** (Willpower alone can be enough to fight off Mako poisoning, and the will of Jenova. Those with a strong enough will can retain their sense of self after dying and returning to the Lifestream), **Memory Manipulation**, **Energy Manipulation**, **Rage Power**, & **Aura** (Limit Breaks are born of memories, are comprised of Spirit Energy, and are unleashed when the user's anger is pushed to the limit. They give off an aura when used), **Non-Physical Interaction** (Characters can interact with the souls of the Gi Tribe), **Regeneration Negation** (Mid-High; Jenova can regenerate itself fully so long as its cells remain, as **Cloud Strife** participates in Jenova's Reunion despite only containing her cells. Despite this, pieces of Jenova defeated by the heroes were unable to enact the Reunion), **Immortality Negation** (Type 3; Can completely kill pieces of Jenova, preventing them from regenerating), **Accelerated Development** (When **Sephiroth** fought the party far earlier than he was supposed to, the main characters could still contend with him, even after Sephiroth absorbed the Whispers and became stronger than he had ever been)
**Weapon Mastery** (Loz is proficient with his Souba blade), **Acrobatics**, **Incorporeality** (As an extension of the Negative Lifestream, Loz can become intangible if he chooses), **Vehicular Mastery** (Loz can ride a motorcycle), **Summoning** (Loz can summon Shadow Creepers), **Shapeshifting** (Loz can turn into black smoke), **Creation** (Loz is able to materialize things from the Negative Lifestream), **Mind Manipulation** (Loz can control the minds of those infected with Jenova cells), **Telepathy** (Loz is able to read the minds of those he touches), **Perception Manipulation** (Loz can appear to others as if he is someone from their memories, in order to trick them), **Fear Manipulation** (Loz can instill fear on others), **Healing** & **Biological Manipulation** (Loz can take bodily pain away from people), **Pain Manipulation** (Loz can give pain back to those he took it away from), **Telekinesis** (Loz can move things with his mind), **Teleportation** (Loz can teleport)

**Spirit Energy Physiology**, which grants **Resistance** to:

**Mind Manipulation** & **Soul Manipulation** (Those with high willpower can resist succumbing to Jenova's will, which passively takes over one's mind and eats away at the soul, and can prevent their mind from shattering), **Poison Manipulation** (High willpower can prevent the toxicosis that comes with the exposure to Jenova Cells), **Power Mimicry** & **Power Absorption** (Limit Breaks cannot be copied by others. Only **Zack Fair** can copy Limit Breaks, though he is noted to be the only exception to this), **Corruption** (Types 1 & 2; Several main characters have been exposed to high amounts of Mako energy, and never became Makonoid monsters), **Biological** **Deconstruction** & **Soul Manipulation** (Main characters have fallen into the Lifestream and returned unscathed, without being forcefully diffused or dissolved into it, or having their spirit be eroded and dissipated), **Heat Manipulation** & **Radiation Manipulation** (Can withstand Super Nova without any negative effects of heat or radiation), Limited **Disease Manipulation** (Those with a will to live are unaffected by Geostigma, which infects those with a weak will)

* Contain

Possible **Ice Manipulation** (Has a chance of attacking with ice using Freeze), possible **Earth Manipulation** (Has a chance of attacking with earth using Break), possible **Air Manipulation** (Has a chance of attacking with wind using Tornado), possible **Fire Manipulation** (Has a chance of attacking with fire using Flare)

### Standard Equipment

* Equipment
* Cloud’s Materia

### Weapons/Vehicles

* **Dual Hound:** This is Loz’s primary weapon, which is a mechanic gauntlet he wears on his left hand. This not only strengthens the power of his punches, but can also protrude two small spikes from it that send out an electrical discharge, much like a taser.
* **Velvet Nightmare:** As a backup weapon, Loz wields this gun which is normally attributed to his brother, Yazoo. This gun has two blades on the sides of its cannon, which provide the gun defences against other weapons.
* **Motorcycle:** Much like his brothers, Loz has a motorcycle that he uses to travel through the planet. Also much like his brothers, Loz is able to perform incredibly bombastic and reckless stunts that would be virtually impossible for a normal person.
* **Shadow Creepers:** Vicious and unsympathetic quadrupeds who were created from the Negative Lifestream, and can be summoned by Loz through waves of black smoke. These creatures are so vicious, that even if they are seriously injured or mutilated, they will continue chasing their target. Furthermore, anyone in contact with these creatures will be infected with Geostigma.

When Loz made his way into the Sector 5 church and faced off against Tifa Lockhart, he was able to acquire a box containing all of Cloud Strife’s Materia, which he brought back to Kadaj and Yazoo. Loz absorbed a few of these Materia into his body, with these being the Materia we know he absorbed:

* **Contain Materia:** A small green orb of magic materia that gives Loz access to a variety of different spells, including: Freeze, Flare, Tornado, and Break.
* **Comet Materia:** A small green orb of magic materia that gives Loz the ability to use Comet and Comet2, which calls down an asteroid to pummel his opponents.
* **Explosion Materia:** A small green orb of magic materia that gives Loz the ability to use explosive magic against his foes.

### Notable Techniques

* **Geostigma:** Also called Jenova’s Memetic Legacy, Geostigma is a horrible plague that Loz can inflict on others. Those infected with Geostigma will become infected with S-Cells and thus be subject to the Reunion. Those infected with Geostigma become extremely physically weak, and experience intolerable pain in the affected area that secretes a black ooze.

### Other

**Weaknesses:** Loz is very arrogant and single-minded, ignoring basically anyone or anything in order to secure Jenova’s head. He is also incredibly prone to high emotion that causes him to cry, due to the negligence he feels from Jenova.
