History Fanfic / SeventhEndmostVision

* CloningBlues: Averted. The cloned Red Lions aren't treated as less because of their origins; Red XIII genuinely loves the two he adopted as his own children, and regrets that the needs of the moment mean he had to give them shortened lifespans. Lucrecia's Sable project, which was the mass cloning of new Red Lions, is heralded as a scientific miracle by Shinra, and its products aren't discriminated against.
* CloneByConversion: [[spoiler: This seems to be how the Descendants are made by Aerith.]]

* BoobsOfSteel: Tifa describes herself as the "largest-breasted woman in SOLDIER". She was also a legendary war heroine and is one of the physically strongest characters in the setting.

** The backstory monster, the Alpha Leviathan, was inspired by an urban legend spread when FF7 first released of a superboss underwater other than Emerald Weapon.

* BoobsOfSteel: Tifa specifically mentions that she was the largest-breasted woman in SOLDIER, and physically she's one of the most powerful characters in the entire fic. In a mild combo of DeconstructedTrope and SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome, this led to several issues for Tifa. She had to have her bras special-made, and it's mentioned that only her SuperStrength from becoming a SOLDIER kept her from having severe back problems. Shinra suggested the obvious solution of [[CuttingTheKnot breast reduction surgery]]; Tifa refused, because her mother's family was always a line of full-figured, busty women, and since [[MissingMom Tifa never really got to know her mother]], keeping the figure felt like a way to keep a connection with her.
** This trope is still biting Tifa in the ass in the fic's present day; unlike when she was with SOLDIER, where they'd make her the special bras she requires, she's only got one left and it's the one she's wearing. She even wonders if maybe she could find one of her old bras in the junkyards of Sector Seven at one point.

* {{Foil}}:

* BoobsOfSteel: Tifa describes herself as the "largest-breasted woman in SOLDIER". She was also a legendary war heroine and is one of the physically strongest characters in the setting.

** Tifa was plenty badass in canon... but she wasn't a 1st Class SOLDIER. [[spoiler: Also, unlike Cloud, she legitimately ''was'' a 1st Class SOLDIER, and isn't simply confused- multiple viewpoints establish her as a major war hero.]]

* AnIcePerson: Aerith's major element- nearly everytime anyone talks about Aerith fighting, they'll reference her use of big spikes of ice as her main weapon.

* BodyMotifs: Eyes are a recurring theme in the fic. SOLDIER eyes are the canon glowing mako eyes, albeit vaguely slitted now, making them rather disturbingly feline; Descendant eyes, meanwhile, are pure white with no pupil. Lucrecia has heterochromia. The Ghost Lady is missing an eye, [[spoiler:because it's in Lucrecia's head. Ifalna thinks she can now see Holy with it, which spurs most of her actions as a ghost.]].
* BornLucky: Elena's powerset. Just why hasn't been revealed yet.

* IndustrialGhetto: Lower Midgar, as in canon. Sector 7, due to its proximity to the largest scrapyard- which attracts monsters- is held to be the most dangerous, with Sector 5's junkyard for Plate construction vehicles beind the second worst. [[spoiler: Given that Deepground is located directly underneath Sector 7 in this fic, it seems likely that this is part of what's making the area so dangerous.]]

* GreaterScopeVillain: According to the author in their notes, Jenova and other [[PlanetEater PlanetEaters]] similar to her (such as [[VideoGame/ChronoTrigger Lavos]]) are ultimately decedents of Deus from [[VideoGame/Xenogears Xenogears]], who was victorious in the story's timeline due to Fei succumbing to his multiple issues. Deus, with its dying breath, created other beings similar to itself to spread throught the universe, and they've been creating their own, spreading and spreading.
** As a counterpoint to the above, there is also a GreaterScopeParagon- [[Videogame/Xenosaga KOS-MOS]], who in this setting was built to seed worlds with life that will eventually become humans, making life to counteract the fact that Deus' descendants keep killing it. This both neatly explains the existence of humans on so many FF worlds and why Goddess religions tend to crop up- it's a kind of GeneticMemory of the creator robot.

* AngryBlackMan: Averted with Barret in this fic, since [[spoiler: he's faked being a genial, kind of vaguely stupid executive for five years now; he ''is'' angry at Shinra for all the horrible things they've done, but it's the quiet kind that isn't usually associated with this stereotype.]]

* GreaterScopeVillain: According to the author in their notes, Jenova and other [[PlanetEater PlanetEaters]] similar to her (such as [[VideoGame/ChronoTrigger Lavos]]) are ultimately decedents of Deus from [[VideoGame/Xenogears]], who was victorious in the story's timeline and created other beings similar to itself to spread throught the universe.

* CoveredInGunge: Tifa suffers this fate three times, twice comedic, the last dramatic. First when killing the angelic dog monster in Sector Seven, wherein she gets blasted by so much of its blood that she is described as a human-shaped blood clot; second when she kills the Grashtrike Queen on the second bombing mission, whose dead body manages to spit one last blast of webbing that pins her to the floor. Both are treated as more funny than anything else. [[spoiler: The third time is not, when Tifa gets soaked in the gore of the Hedgehog Pies she kills in a blind rage while trying to rescue soem Sector 5 kids; it terrifies the children and freaks out everyone else, including her, since she literally could not remember doing it afterwards.]]
