Sephiroth | Final Fantasy VII

♛ describe all the things that icons don't show.
Considering the amount of CG available for Sephiroth from Crisis core, the icons are I have are pretty much what you get in terms of appearance; particularly in terms of facial features/how his bangs frame his face. He keeps himself in good condition as well, I imagine he's still probably got the shiniest hair out of every Hero of Light. Not so much a clean freak but he's always fresh and proud of it. One thing you can't get from the icons though, is just how intimidating the combination of Sephiroth's height, demeanor and strong/fluid movements can come across to strangers/people who don't know him. When he enters a room, quite often the aura that exudes from him is one of "meaning business".

-Height: The wiki has him as 6'1", but in CC he's around the same height as Angeal so that makes no sense at all!! I purposefully have him at 6'3" - nearly 5 feet of that is hair, jsyk!
--
-Weight: Sephiroth is lean, as opposed to overly buff but it's very much a case of appearing more muscular when someone is up close. this isn't a bad one in terms of definition and neither is this one. Weighing in probably at around 192lbs, his food and fitness habits have successfully adjusted (to being human again vs super-soldier) since his last canon-update but given how busy he keeps himself Sephiroth probably could do with eating a little more often.
--
-Posture: Sometimes it seems that this man has a pole keeping him straight. Generally speaking he always stands tall and with shoulders back, proud even when he's got nothing to say or listen to. When bored he'll quickly fold up arms and/or lean back against furniture/walls; a cold mannerism that he is trying to stop from being so much of a habit. That said, often Sephiroth appears to be more than a little closed off since the return from Aqures Tosf; often keeping his head down and walking on rather than having confident eyes up like he used to. He's getting over things which will restore his confidence in himself eventually but there's a lot of weight he's putting on his own shoulders here!
--
-Eye color: Green with slitted pupils, that move/respond to light (and sometimes emotively) not unlike a cats, framed with thick black eyelashes. The glow brought about by the mako has receded almost totally now but occasionally might flash a little brighter when emotions are stirred. Otherwise, you'd have to look very close to see the remnants of it and often between his pale complexion and light hair the green color appears a little washed out.
--
-Voice: I'm not really a fan of Japanese VA's (I have a thing about not being able to understand them) but heres that fight scene in Japanese and heres the English one - both work in my opinion. Enjoy how the boys had fun before the fallout!

♛ do they look different from canon now?
Aside from the fact that Sephiroth's bangs are starting to grow passed his jaw again he doesn't look all that different from canon. Which is an improvement considering he'd lost a foot or so from his hair length prior to his canon update. Probably because of that, he wears it up in one way or another more often; especially when in a combat situation. Not to mention, it keeps the condition better than letting these becoming-wintery climes rip through it.

♛ how do they dress? have they taken to Aqures Ixen fashion?
Ha, are you kidding - most of the time Sephiroth wears his Freelance-clothing. (ie. what he wears in canon) or some variation thereof. With the exception of when he's training and it's plain joggers and (due to the weather) a light sweat jacket. Some of the fashion in Crystallis is weird, so Sephiroth sticks to plain colors (greys, whites, blacks) and simple cuts.

Any other questions, actually??
