Choosing A Race:
Welcome to the race section of FF7 Fortress. There are five races available for new characters to choose from upon joining the site and to join you must choose one. If your playing a main character you will be required to play that characters race as it was in the game, if you don’t follow this rule your bio simply wont be added to the members site and you wont be able to role-play here. No "hybrid" races are allowed so just remember that when filling out your registration form. You may also note that the race regarding to "Cait Sith" isn’t present on this page and that’s because Cait Sith was not actually a living being but a long range spy working for SHINRA known as Reeve. So no other characters can play that race, if you are signing up as Cait Sith however contact a manager on their update board and you will be given your starting information.
     
Starting Quests:
Starting quests are intended for each player to do when they join the site so that they can introduce their character and background, these quests however are not required but you do gain some starting equipment if you take the time to do your starting quests so the choice in the end is up to you.

Humans:
The Humans are currently the dominant force on the planet at the moment, coming next in line the Ancients and Jenova. Strong willed and instinctually preserving, or in some cases cruel and power hungry, Humans also rule the world of science,  for better or for worse.
      
Human Bonus:
Humans are the basic race on the planet and thus the easiest to play however they are strong fighters and do have their strong points. Humans start out with +10 Spr. and +10 Dex.
      
Starting Quest:
The Human’s starting quest takes place in Midgar’s Sector 7 where you will be required to do a 1200 word quest to gain your classes starting weapon. (The first weapon of each weapon page) and an Iron Bangle.


Mako-Humans:
Unlike the Jenova, who are the embodiment of Jenova, these, once humans, were injected with Jenova cells and exposed to Mako Radiation with the intent of making them stronger for whatever reason. In some, or in fact most cases, Hojo, the scientist at the root of the Jenova experiments, went over the limits of humanity, spawning such creatures as Sephiroth, and ruining the lives of people like Vincent and Cloud. Members of SOLDIER were thought by the public to draw their strength for Mako-Exposure only, but in reality they were injected with Jenova cells as well.
      
Mako-Human Bonus:
Mako-Humans are fierce fighters and very dangerous in physical combat, because of this they gain a +10 to Str. and a +10 to Vit.

Ancients:
These strange creatures call themselves the Cetra, but as the were the first to actively populate and control the planet they have come to be known as the Ancients. They are very respectful and resourceful people and it was the efforts of the thought to be last remaining Cetra that saved the planet. Cetra are thought to be able to feel the planet and because of this are able to use Materia much more effectively.
      
Ancient Bonus:
Ancients were known to be very much in touch with nature and the magical forces of the planet and so they gain a +10 to Mag. and a +10 to Spr.
     
Starting Quest:
The Ancients starting quest takes place in Midgar’s Sector 5 Reactor where they will be required to do a 1200 word Quest for their classes starting weapon (The first weapon of each weapon page) and an Iron Bangle.


Jenova:
These once human creatures are nothing more then puppets, with barely a speck of freewill,. The existence of these beings is what fuels Jenova, and what makes it some aimlessly hard to kill. If one of these puppets were left alive, then Jenova will live on. The ultimate goal of a Jenova is the restore Jenova to a whole. Sephiroth, possible the most complete of these creatures, is and example as well as Hojo and Lucrecia.
      
Jenova Bonus:
The Jenova are very strong willed and powerful in every aspect but more so in the offensive areas as so they gain a +10 to Str. and a +10 to Mag.
