( extrapolated, if you want to know more. contains **huge** spoilers. )

Unreasonably pretty. Noteworthy features:

• short king
• garb is editted from the standard SOLDIER 1st Class uniform
• center of irises around the pupils glow vibrant blue/green from Mako infusion and genetic experimentation
• usually smells like gunmetal and ether
• arms are thicc but the rest of him taut/slightly malnourished from years in a lab
• pupils will narrow into cat-eye slits when under the influence/control of Sephiroth and/or JENOVA

MAKO & JENOVA ENHANCEMENT

Genetic experimentation has made Cloud faster, stronger, more durable, etc.

What it says on the Tin. He inerhited his iconic buster sword from his predecessors and it's an unwieldy thing, but he's adept at using it in close combat for both offense and defense.

MATERIA & MAGIC

Can use mako/lifestream energy crystallized into magic, abilities, and summons when equipped.

ATHLETICISM, SURVIVAL SKILLS

Master motorcyclist, chocobo riding, snowboarding, CPR, mountain climbing... dancing... etc.
