—Genesis Rhapsodos

Genesis Rhapsodos, originally known as G, is a mysterious character who appears in both Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII- and Dirge of Cerberus -Final Fantasy VII-. He appears to have exceptionally bright mako eyes, and bears a single black wing on his left shoulder, in contrast to the one Sephiroth bears on his right. His age is thought to be around twenty-five years, and his signature weapon is a broadsword with a rapier-styled basket hilt. His link to the Deepground organization has been explained through the Final Fantasy VII Ultimania, since only the Tsviets which have 'colors' are injected with his cells. It is known is that he is the product of Jenova Project G. Weiss and Nero of Deepground are referred to as his "brothers" in both Dirge of Cerberus and Crisis Core, although this is not in the literal sense. In Crisis Core, Genesis' Digital Mind Wave is Apocalypse.

He is obsessed with the ancient story of LOVELESS. This obsession goes deep, as he often recites phrases from the epic and considers himself and the characters of Crisis Core to be characters in LOVELESS.

In the Japanese version of Dirge of Cerberus and Crisis Core, Genesis is voiced by Camui Gackt. In the English version of Dirge of Cerberus, he was voiced by Robin Atkin-Downes, however, in the English version of Crisis Core; Genesis gains a new voice actor, Oliver Quinn.

In Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII- he has two fanclubs that the player can join: one is the Red Leather group (who worships Genesis' clothing and sell merchandise about him) and the Study Group (a group of girls that fanatize Genesis' theories about the missing act of LOVELESS)

Etymology

The name Genesis is derived from the Greek term Genesis meaning "birth, origin" ("genesis" being a noun derivative of "gignesthai" which stands for "to be born" in ancient Greek). However, "Genesis" is also the term used for the first book of the Old Testament, and one can notice a possible connection/association of the Banora White Apples, something that Genesis is very fond of, with the Fruit of Knowledge that caused Adam and Eve to fall from Eden, since Christian tradition believes it to be an Apple as well. "Rhapsodos" on the other hand means "one who performs an epic poem", a rhapsody, such as the poet Homer. His name may be interpreted as meaning "the original performer of the epic poem"; the epic poem being a metaphor of the advent of Sephiroth. Regardless, his first name may as well be associated to the fact that he was indeed the first "creation" of the Jenova Project.
