★ Character Info ★

•NAME ☆ Hojo
•FANDOM ☆ FFVII
•AGE ☆ I'm thinking maybe late 30's
•SPECIES ☆ Human - altered (hello Jenova Cells)
•GENDER ☆ Male - of the freak variety.
•TIMELINE ☆ It would have been just before the final encounter with Hojo - you know where he gets all freaky-deaky on everyone with the J-Cells.
•POWERS/ABILITIES ☆
Powers: None until the J-Cells kick in.
Abilities: FREAK YOU OUT!

•PERSONALITY ☆ I'd like to say that he's just plain bat shit loco, but at times it seems that the man does have lucid moments. He's quiet by nature unless he has concocted some sort of devious plan; then he can mumble, rant and ask questions to himself - often he answers them himself as well. When he's in his dastardly deep thoughts, he is aware of his surroundings on some level. One might believe that his mind replays those events when they can be focused on properly.

Hojo is tenacious in his "practices" of science. Once a plan or idea is stuck into his mind, he will usually work until it comes to fruition. Of course, the outcome might be far different than what he might have envisioned but it could still make him a very pleased man.

If something were to upset him, he would have a cold rage and more than likely plot some sort of revenge. It is said that revenge is a dish best served cold and Hojo would serve it ice cold. To see him visibly roused and upset however might be from a verbal argument of sorts.

His inter-personal skills are sometimes lacking and he could be blunt about somethings. Emotions such as crying are things he would consider to be a human weakness.

All of this however could be bunk as he still might just be bat shit loco.

•APPEARANCE ☆ Hojo is a man who can look young at one point in the day, then haggard and old at another. One would chalk it up to him being unkempt and having a nonchalant attitude about his appearance.
That being said: Hojo's hair is long and often kept back in a pony tail at the nape of his neck. There are pieces of hair that stray out and hang about his face which doesn't help his at times, homely appearance.

He's thin, often described as wiry but his physique is hidden behind a lab coat. Always in dress slacks, his shirts and sometimes the tie he wears are the only thing that would change clothing wise.

Behind his glasses - which one really wonders why he needs them other than a low grade splatter guard - are eyes that look dark and menacing. Among lab assistants - before they went missing or transferred - it was argued that Hojo's eyes were either "a really dark brown" or "black as the hells itself".

•HISTORY ☆

When the top Shinra researcher, Professor Gast, discovered Jenova, a destructive alien but was thought to be a Cetra, buried in the Northern Crater, he assembled a team to work on something named "The Jenova Project". Dr. Hollander, Hojo and Lucrecia Crescent were assigned to work with him. The ultimate goal of this project was to "create humans with the powers of the Ancients." It was believed that this goal could have been realized by testing the effects of Jenova cells on an unborn child.

Events transpired where Vincent Valentine began to find romantic interest in Lucrecia Crescent; she however had guilt over causing the death of Vincent's father and entered a relationship with Hojo. Lucrecia became pregnant, and she and Hojo chose to offer up their unborn child to the Jenova Project. Thus, Hojo injected Lucrecia with Jenova cells during the pregnancy. Vincent objected to these experiments because he felt that humans should not be experimented on. Vincent and Hojo quarreled over the situation of experimenting on Lucrecia's child, which ended up with Hojo shooting Vincent. He then performed experiments on Vincent's body before leaving him sealed in a coffin in the basement of the Shinra Mansion in Nibelheim.
The child that would come as a result of the Jenova Project was Sephiroth.

At some undisclosed point in time, Gast abandoned his research due to a guilty conscience, and Hojo was placed in charge of Shinra's Science Research Division and all experiments involving Jenova. His increasingly immoral experiments, first at Nibelheim, and, later, at the Shinra Building, involved the use of more unwilling test subjects than just Vincent, including Cloud Strife, Zack Fair, and Red XIII. Much of this later research involved the effects of Jenova's cells, leading to the development of Sephiroth "Copies" (not to be confused with genetic duplicates; the term merely indicates that experiments were conducted on them similar to those conducted on Sephiroth).

It is thought to be believed that because of the new title of Shinra's Science Research Division and the vast funds now at his fingertips that could be fuelled by ShinRa pushed him into becoming the archetypal mad scientist. Hojo's research is directly or indirectly responsible for every major disaster during the whole events that transpired on Gaia and onward.

Perhaps the most direct example of his inhumanity is his relationship with his son, Sephiroth, whom Hojo used as a test subject. Hojo, not surprisingly, regards the subjects of his experiments as mere specimens. This is often done in spite of the fact that they are almost always human or otherwise sentient. This utilitarian attitude extends to all of his research, as Hojo will often undertake radical experiments without any regard for ethics or the potential consequences.

Gast and Ifalna had a daughter named "Aeris." This was actually exactly what Hojo had been waiting for. 20 days after Aeris's birth, he led a small team of Shinra operatives to their home. Hojo's entourage shot and killed Gast when he resisted, and Ifalna and Aeris were captured. The mother and daughter, the last two Cetra, would spend seven years in captivity in the Shinra HQ in Midgar.

When Genesis Rhapsodos rebelled against Shinra, he attempted to kill Hojo on behalf of Dr. Hollander. However, Zack Fair and Angeal Hewley intervened. Hojo mocked Genesis, and told him that Hollander wouldn't be able to halt his deterioration, referring to him as a "second-rate hack, who couldn't even cure a cold." The events were pushed like dominoes after that. Sephiroth went mad after reading incomplete documents and ended up razing Nibelhiem to the ground. During that encounter, Sephiroth was presumed to have been killed by Cloud, a feat that was considered unimaginable for a regular human being. This highly caught the interest of Hojo.

In continuation of his research into Jenova, Hojo began a project to create what he called "Sephiroth Clones", so named because of the similarities between the experiments that he conducted on his new subjects and those that were conducted on Sephiroth. The "specimens" for this experiment were the survivors of Sephiroth's massacre in Nibelheim, and Cloud and Zack were among these new subjects. Despite the title he gave to his newest subjects, Hojo did not intend to create a new breed of super soldiers with these individuals. His intention was, rather, to test the validity of his Jenova Reunion Theory, which stated that if Jenova's cells were divided, they would instinctively seek to become whole again. To test this, he injected Jenova cells into his Sephiroth clones and infused them with mako. The mako was intended to lower the self-awareness of the subjects to the point that the instinctual drive of the Jenova cells to reunite would take over their minds and cause them all to gather in one place, an event that would be called "the Reunion."

Hojo placed numbered tattoos on the hands of each of his successful Sephiroth copies, though Zack--later revealed to be a failure of the experiment, due to his strong will preventing the mako within him from causing him to lose his own self-identity, which in turn prevented the Jenova cells from taking effect, would break himself and Cloud out of the Shinra Mansion some four years after their captivity began. Cloud, to the opposite extreme, was considered a failure because his self-awareness was lowered to the point where he could no longer function, so he could not confirm Hojo's Jenova Reunion theory. Thusly, neither Zack nor Cloud would have a mark on them branding them per se as Sephiroth Clones. This event would change the course of the future of Hojo's research, and that of the world at large.

Hojo first appears to Avalanche when they infiltrate the Shinra headquarters in Midgar in an attempt to rescue Aeris, who had been kidnapped by the Turks. They find her in Hojo's laboratory, where Hojo had placed her in an enclosure with Red XIII, intending to breed them. However, the party managed to free both Aeris and Red XIII from Hojo's lab, much to his displeasure.
Despite the apparent differences of Aeris and Red XIII being of completely different species, and it would seem unlikely that they would be genetically compatible enough to produce offspring. However, despite Hojo's madness, he was also a dedicated, intelligent researcher, and he believed that such offspring could be produced

Hojo ended up taking a forced vacation from ShinRa, which lands him at Costa del Sol. Cloud and his friends find him there, where he ends up taunting Cloud by calling him a "failed experiment," misled by Cloud's lack of a tattoo and by Cloud's own claim of being failure, he having been mislead himself by Sephiroth.

When Hojo meets up with the Avalance group again in Midgar, he reveals to them that he is Sephiroth's father, putting Vincent's uncertainty to rest, and that he planned to use Shinra's Mako Cannon to give his son the energy of the Planet, as he desired. This was due to Hojo's own obsessive desire to see his research develop to its ultimate end. Hojo further reveals that he had injected himself with Jenova cells (Obviously far more than used to create a SOLDIER), and then plans to attack the group.

If Hojo wasn't plucked from that time, as the Jenova cells take effect, he would transform into a deformed monstrosity during the fight. There would be two sides to the deformity: Helletic aka Heritic and Lifeform-Hojo N.

Helletic Hojo: If Hojo's body receives enough physical damage, the Jenova Cells become activated and transform his body into his monstrosity. If his limbs were to be hacked off, after several moments, they would regrow or reform.
Lifeform-Hojo N: If for some reason the phsyical damage is enough to throw him into a stupor, this form would then become activated. The long appendages would do wicked striking damages. Because it is a lifeform, healing properties may be heightened for Hojo while the person being attacked would end up with ailments of various sorts.
After Hojo is defeated and dead, the Jenova Cells retreat back into his cells to lay dormant until the physical damage is pushed to reactivate them again.
