Genesis' design is comprised of many similarities to Sephiroth, including the long coat, black clothing underneath, black boots, shoulder guards, and a large sword. Genesis is right-handed and bears a large wing on his left side, unlike Sephiroth who is left-handed and has a wing on his right side.
Some may speculate that the cloth could restrict movement, but this is a fallacy. The malleable materials, such as leather, used to make his attire make it not only durable, but highly flexible and quite easy to maneuver in. This is shown in Genesis' fighting, when he is flipping and jumping around with excellent precision and ease.
General Personality ►: Genesis is initially seen as an arrogant and childish man who deserts his friends and allies, even turning against them for his own personal gains. But he was very misunderstood for the most part, being a man of many demons from his past that he wished to sort out. Genesis has been very conflicted with himself, but as time passed, he seemed to have a more cool head about him. He seemed to mature and become more serious, while he learned and aged.
Narcissistic and destructive, Genesis would stop at nothing to learn the truth behind his birth and origins. One couldn't really blame him, however, for he had been labeled a failure even before he ever had a chance to live. He is highly intuitive, as he even mentioned to Angeal as a child that he did not believe that the parents he knew were biological to him.

Weaknesses ►: Genetic degradation

Abilities ►: Genesis, a 1st Class SOLDIER, is one of the most powerful SOLDIERs to have ever been created. He is even considered to be on par with the likes of Sephiroth and Angeal Hewley. Genesis is not only adept with his sword, but is a very powerful magic-user as well. Genesis has even shown the ability to combine his weapon and magic attacks together.
Despite his body's degradation, Genesis being in this weakened state was still able to continuously improve and become stronger and still prove to be a worthy adversary. Keeping in mind that later in his life, he no longer shows signs of degradation. It is unclear how powerful Genesis is at that point.
Although Genesis only has one wing, which often loses feathers and withers as his degradation worsens, he is able to fly quite well, and appears to be able to use the feathers of his wing as an attack. One may wonder how well Genesis could do these things now, without said degradation.
As a product of Project G, Genesis is able to copy his genetic material onto other people, and create clones of himself. However, he has not used this technique since the degradation seems to have withered away. Nor has he even attempted to transfer his genetics to non-humes, or absorb the abilities of monsters. This is likely due to his arrogance, as there is only one Genesis Rhapsodos.
Weapons ►: Long, Scarlet Rapier with a wider blade-edge.
History ►: Shortly after the birth of Genesis, strange, new experiments began to transpire. These wicked experiments began with Project G and were conducted beneath Shinra Headquarters in the secret department, Deepground. Genesis was a childhood friend of another specimen from the experiments, Angeal Hewley. Angeal and Genesis grew up together in Banora Village and became friends despite their differences. Angeal, coming from a poor family was unlikely to be friends with a local landlord's son, Genesis.
Early on, Genesis begins to believe that his parents are not his birth parent and makes a comment to Angeal that implies he does not believe his "family" consisted of his biological parents. At the time, Genesis did not know how right he was. During the fetal stage, Genesis' genome was seeded with Gillian Hewley's DNA by Dr. Hollander, in an attempt to create the ultimate life form before Hojo. Sadly, the experiment was a failure and was labeled as such. His true parents just handed over the baby, not wanting a failure such as Genesis to be claimed as their own. This poor soul never had a chance to amount to anything before people began to look down upon him, despite his abilities.
He, like Angeal, had the ability to create clones, however Genesis was incapable of incorporating others into him as Angeal could. To prove himself, Genesis decided to join SOLDIER. His ulterior motives were also that he craved for the respect Sephiroth had. Initially, Genesis, Sephiroth, and Angeal were all teammates and allies in Shinra's special unit of super-soldiers, the 1st Class of SOLDIER. Though they seemed to be at each other's throats much of the time, they considered each other friends at the least. The relationship was a complex, to say the least. Genesis, being jealous of Sephiroth's fame, was often prone to losing control; despite his pure intentions of wanting to become a hero.
Angeal, inadvertently injuring Genesis, was the cause of Genesis' degradation over the years. Angeal had tried to stop a training exercise that had gone too far and was being turned into a duel to the death. Genesis assured the two it was a minor wound, but the wound began to worsen rather than heal. His arrogance and pride had gotten the better of him and was likely the cause of the wounds worsening. The degradation was a slow and painful process that would slowly degrade Genesis during the next seven years until he was healed by the "goddess" after having absorbed Lifestream into his body.
Shortly after Genesis had been injured by Angeal, he was treated by Dr. Hollander. Shortly after which he learned of the truth behind his birth and childhood. This enraged Genesis, as he could not accept he was both inhuman and a failure. He allied himself with Dr. Hollander, Genesis also sought to cure his degradation, and disappeared just a few months after learning of his origins. With him, he took several second and third class SOLDIERs, which came to be known as the "Mass SOLDIER Desertion Incident". According to Angeal, Genesis set out to accomplish the goals of a monster, which were, according to Angeal, "Revenge and World Domination".
During this period of absence, Genesis created an army of Genesis Clones, similar to the later Sephiroth Clones, only much more violent. However, these clones suffered from the same degeneration as their master. It was seen that showering the clones with Mako seemed to halt the degradation for a short period of time.
Lazard Deusericus of SOLDIER gave both Zack and Angeal a mission to find and bring him back. This was the first noted findings of Genesis since his disappearance. It was seen on Lazard's computer that he is currently "Missing In Action". The duo advance to Wutai where they see the first group of Genesis Clones, which they handily defeat.
In their quest to find the rogue SOLDIER, Zack and Tseng make their way to Genesis' hometown of Banora. Remorsefully, Genesis had converted the village into a stronghold for his army. When they find him in a warehouse, Genesis recites a part of LOVELESS. When Angeal threatens to use force against him, Genesis asks Angeal if he can live in the world where he killed his friend, and then retreats, Angeal following close behind. Banora is shortly destroyed by an air strike at the hands of Shinra and both Genesis and Angeal were presumed dead.
When Zack becomes a SOLDIER of the 1st Class, parts of Midgar are suddenly attacked by the Genesis clones, but are stopped by the Turks, Sephiroth, Zack, and many other members of SOLDIER. After this battle was swiftly resolved, Zack meets with Sephiroth in Dr. Hollander's study. Sephiroth began to explain to Zack about the day Genesis got wounded. He also explained that afterward, Genesis learned the truth behind his origins and became resentful of Shinra.. And all who were associated with it.
Zack and Sephiroth find Hollander's reports on a project known as "Project G", and learn of Genesis's degrading condition. As Hollander entered, Genesis swoops down, and speaks more lines from LOVELESS. After listening, Sephiroth told Genesis that he had not changed a bit, reading LOVELESS and quoting it. Angeal shortly follows suit on entrances, and Genesis speaks that the three friends are now here, and that one becomes chased, one takes flight, and the last remaining friend becomes the hero.
The idea itself came from the story of LOVELESS, and the idea being that Angeal was the one being chased, Genesis being the one who takes flight, and finally Sephiroth being the one who becomes a hero. Sephiroth comments on his short quote, and Genesis questions who is the hero — himself, or Sephiroth. Sephiroth willingly says that Genesis can be the hero, and Genesis states that Sephiroth's fame should have originally been his.
Moving onto the next stage of his plan, Genesis and Angeal arrive in Professor Hojo's laboratory where both Hojo and Zack are. Genesis plans to kill Hojo but Angeal tells him to stop. Genesis again quotes from LOVELESS. As Genesis states that the quote was from Act 4, Hojo comments that he, too, remembers LOVELESS, and says it is a very old story. Angeal then asks if there was an end to it, but Hojo tells them it is unknown whether there is or not. However, Genesis claims there is an end. He then asks them all what they think the "Gift of the Goddess" means for them, and then flies off, to which Zack and Angeal take after him.
Genesis, now having moved to a warehouse in Modeoheim, appears very much degraded. He has come to believe that in order to stop the degradation, he was going to need Jenova cells. Genesis begins to search for the "Gift of the Goddess" by recreating the world of LOVELESS. Genesis tells Hollander - after he explains that he does not know where the Jenova cells are stored and that he is useless - he will keep on degrading, and he will keep living that way until he finds them.
Dr. Hollander runs off, with Cloud in hot pursuit, leaving Genesis and Zack alone to duel. However, Zack manages to win the duel. Genesis quotes a few lines of LOVELESS before letting himself fall down to the darkness underneath the warehouse to a presumed death.
Alas, Genesis was defeated, but not vanquished as seen when army resurfaces and attacks Shinra across the Planet. At the end of Zack's battle in Junon, Genesis, clearly alive, is standing at the end of Junon Cannon with his wing out, and holding a Banora White Apple in his right hand. After quoting another line from LOVELESS, he watches the sunset before moving onward.
Genesis plays a part in Sephiroth's madness, even before he visits Shinra Mansion in Nibelheim. During Zack Fair and Sephiroth's visit to Mt. Nibel's Reactor, Genesis sends two Firas at the pair. Zack is floored, but Sephiroth easily deflects it. Genesis begins to tell Sephiroth that he was born from the Jenova Project, thus making Sephiroth the biggest monster of all.
As Zack gets up, he is surprised that Genesis is alive after the events in Modeoheim. Genesis can't say much upon what he believes, instead explaining that he wonders how he could even be called alive, in his current condition. Moving on, Genesis goes on to tell Sephiroth about the Jenova Project, and its general term which uses Jenova cells for the experiment. Genesis spills all of Shinra's dirty little secrets. Sephiroth had always been told that his mother's name was Jenova, but all he had been told was her name. This made Genesis' words hard to believe and evern more painful to accept. Sephiroth could not even remember her.
Genesis asks Sephiroth for his cells, since Jenova Cells can halt his degradation. Confused, Sephiroth questions all of this as being something Genesis had thought up, or the truth he had been searching for. Genesis, in an act denoting his desire for Sephiroth to join him offers him a Banora Apple. He casts the apple aside and tells him to rot away elsewhere.
After finding out that Genesis spoke the truth, Sephiroth loses his mind and destroys Nibelheim. In the incident's aftermath Sephiroth ends up falling into the Mako pit below the Reactor, while Zack and Cloud get captured and are used for scientific experiments for the next four years.
After four years of imprisonment, Zack and Cloud finally break free from Shinra Mansion's laboratory and escape, but are pursued by two Genesis Clones. As Zack prepares to face off with them, the real Genesis soars down from the sky, and knocks Zack down. Genesis elucidates that he heard Zack was being used for one of Hojo's experiments, Project S, meaning Zack had Jenova Cells. Genesis tells him that those cells are the "Gift of the Goddess", and with them, his deterioration will stop. However, the attack ends in failure after one of the Genesis copies consumes a few strands of Zack's hair and mutates into a repulsive monster.
Zack soon realizes that Genesis has no need for him as his body rejected the Jenova cells. However, Cloud's body did not, which is who Genesis is now after. As Genesis stops Zack, Genesis asks Zack if he knows what the last four phrases of LOVELESS are, but Zack does not care about the story. Genesis quotes another line of LOVELESS, but Zack says he finds it all too depressing. Finally, he states that the final chapter is lost and with it exists dismissals of its existence, but claims that the correct version is his own interpretation. Zack, now fed up with LOVELESS and Genesis, dives at him, but Genesis flies away, leaving Zack with a Banora Apple.
He discovers the journal of a younger Genesis, before his SOLDIER days, which describes his invention of the Banora apple juice, along with his desires to share his accomplishments with Sephiroth by having him eat a Banora White. Following this, Zack wanders into a much larger cavern where a degrading Genesis is standing. Earlier on, Genesis had discovered the Goddess Materia within the cave, and was certain this was the real "Gift of the Goddess". Above him is a huge tree of which holds the gigantic red Materia known as the Goddess Materia.
Genesis' plan to re-create the world of LOVELESS slowly comes into action as he begins to gather the Lifestream from the Goddess Materia, which surrounds him, and transforms him. Seeing as the Lifestream is the Planet's protection, Genesis, in his own way received its Divine Protection, furthering his belief that he represents the hero of LOVELESS.
Zack still wants to help, but now he stands in front of a new Genesis, a true monster known as the Genesis Avatar. Genesis transforms back after his defeat, but is reborn, showing no signs of his degradation, and the Goddess Materia is gone. He quotes one of the same lines from LOVELESS once more. Zack finally figures out that all Genesis ever wanted was to regain his pride. Gathering up the last of his energy, Genesis charges at Zack with the little strength he has left. Zack manages to dodge and Genesis turns around and calls to him, telling him to fight. Wanting to have one last battle with him after regaining his pride as a SOLDIER, they face off for the final time.
Zack strikes Genesis down, sending him up into the air and knocking him out and Genesis' sword falls out of his grasp. Genesis appears to land on his feet, but finds himself in a place seemingly flooded with Lifestream. As he looks around, he sees the Goddess statue in the distance. Suddenly, the small round object within its hands begins to glow, and so Genesis walks towards it. The statue begins to morph into a female figure, Minerva, a physical manifestation of the Lifestream and its will. As Genesis stands in front of her, Minerva sees his strong desire to complete his duty as SOLDIER, a desire he feels so strongly for, he is willing to defy death and degradation to complete it. Thus the Lifestream accepts his desire to live on, halting his degradation. Minerva then turns her head from Genesis, as if to tell him that he still has much left to learn, then disappears.
Zack carries Genesis — his body free from signs of degradation — out of the cave on his back, and finds Lazard. On the next day, Zack decides to find three Banora apples: one each for himself, Cloud, and Genesis. Zack compliments the "dumbapple" and Genesis questions it as to being the "Gift of the Goddess". Zack questions Genesis as to the apple being the "gift", but Genesis shakes his head. Thanks to his battle with Zack, he was able to truly see what the gift really was: The Pride of a SOLDIER. This about the Banora apple is interesting because the general theory about receiving the "Gift of the Goddess" is youth and longevity which in turn is connected to theories regarding the health benefits of Banora Whites. Content, Genesis passed out.
A Shinra helicopter arrives at Banora Village to take away Genesis' lifeless body.Shortly after Zack and Cloud leave, a Shinra helicopter lands near Genesis, and two 1st Class SOLDIERs in their black uniform with Deepground symbols on their belts jump out of the helicopter, Nero and Weiss. As they walk towards Genesis' body, Nero finds this mission important. Weiss, on the other hand, states that this mission has something to do with their older brother. They both question each other if Genesis would join them, before Weiss takes hold of Genesis, carries him into the helicopter, and from there, they fly to Deepground.
