Mr. Sephiroth

The current therapist of the hhgregg

Coming from a normal FF7 dimension, everything was normal for Sephiroth up until he was burning down Nibelheim. As he watched the town burn down, he felt as if he were pulled away from everything he knew. He was teleported into a new world.

Catching himself infront of the hhgregg, he was immediately brought in by HH and Cookie Man. Despite the two trying to answer his questions, Sephiroth grew more and more aggressive. Seeing his unrest, Cookie Man suggested he be put in therapy for more than just getting settled in the dimension.

For months/maybe years after, Sephiroth was in therapy, refusing to listen to CM's guidance or advice. He saw everything as an obstacle to his way back home, where he wanted to fulfill his own destiny and take vengence on humanity. Eventually, he started to settle. He got a job at the Taco Bell, meeting Akechi there for the first time, where the two bonded as co-workers. He found out about Hatsune Miku's music and about God as he explored the dimension, starting to lose his own God Complex (still has some sort of superiority complex though) formed by his previous dimension.

One day, a while longer, CM wanted to take some time to focus on his fear of mice/rats. Not knowing fully how to approach it, the Cookie went for a flooding approach in hopes it would more quickly get Sephiroth to become desensitized. Instead, it broke Sephiroth. It created a deep despise/distrust for Sephiroth towards CM. As he struggled with those feelings akin to betrayal, he heard a voice in his head telling him to get revenge, to fight back, to kill them. So, he set the hhgregg building aflame while Cookie Man was in the back rooms. After Sephiroth confronted CM, the latter trying to apologize and calm Sephiroth down, it ended in him beheading and killing CM (This doesn't seem that much of a deal but before then, people didn't really die super often in the hhgregg. It was less normal than it is in current times).

After days of radio silence, Sephiroth was greeted by Hhgregg and given a new job as therapist. He gladly took the opportunity, believing he could be a better therapist than Cookie Man and that his way of helping would be better than CM's. Since then, he and his therapy have grown infamous, running a group therapy (reserved usually for people teleported in, with a few exceptions like Yosuke) and a 1-on-1 therapy separately.

(Negative) Cookie Man - Despite Cookie Man’s initial guidance, compassion, and patience with him, Sephiroth has never not hated him. When he first got transported to hhgregg, Sephiroth was stubborn towards CM’s aid, constantly berating him and insisting nothing was going to help, and to get him out of there. After settling, he started to warm up to CM, acting a bit more calm. That changed after CM's failed musophobia exposure therapy, making Sephiroth grow extremely spiteful and distrustful of him. After becoming the therapist, Sephiroth likes to silently boast about being the therapist and not him. Nowadays, he acts like CM does not exist and tries to avoid any direct conversations or mentions of him due to suspicions that he’s trying to coerce his clients into attacking him (more than they already have) and possibly getting him demoted.

(Negative) Sho - He sees himself in a lot of Sho. The fact they were both teleported due to KILL thoughts, both like to set fires, generally violent and spiteful, he likes Sho because of that. However, this doesn’t stop him from treating Sho like garbage. He knows the constant, repeating ‘therapies’ that are telling Sho to “just not kill” isn’t helping Sho, but he enjoys the torment. As time goes on and Sho gets visibly more irritated, stubborn, and spiteful towards Sephiroth himself, he starts to grow more irritated, stubborn, and spiteful back to him. He’s starting to get tired of Sho’s constant attempts to fuck with him and aim resilient. It feels like he’s losing control.

(Neutral-Positive) Minazuki - He treats and sort of sees Minuzaki the same as Sho, minus a lot of the self-reflecting bits and the fact that Minazuki isn’t officially in the hhgregg therapy. Sephiroth accepts him as just someone that tags along, and doesn’t treat him any differently than he would anyone else, though definitely better than Sho.

(Neutral-Negative) Yosuke - Sephiroth hardly sees Yosuke as a real person. He seems him more as something’ to be fixed, a vessel for ✨ Homosexuality ✨ to fester and grow and maul. He’s irritated at Yosuke’s more resilience to his attempts though, continuing to see Yu, and so sometimes opts in to just try and humiliate and torment Yosuke rather than flat out convert him. Despite this he does see Yosuke in a more positive light than Sho since Yosuke’s less visibly stubborn, and more generally annoying. 

(Neutral-Positive) Hatsune Miku - He is her BIGGEST fan. At least, a fan of her music. He loves using her music in his dance therapy due to the fun rhythms and vocals, and was originally ecstatic when she had apparently opted in to substitute as a therapist every now and then. However, he’s ended up worrying and suspecting that Miku is ¨¨¨¨¨¨reversing¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ the ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨progress¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ he’s made on his clients, and he’s starting to dislike her more as a person. Completely unaware of her closeness to CM.

(Negative) Goro Akechi - USED-TO-BE-BESTIES 4 LYFIES!!! When he originally got teleported to hhgregg, he was an employee at Taco Bell alongside Akechi (who hadn’t become the boss yet). They grew a close friendship. However, as of late they don’t talk much since they got separate jobs in separate bubbles, but for a while they were still chilling. Now, Sephiroth is completely conflicted on Akechi since 1g0r mentioned that he was gay and probalby in love with his brother. He was stuck between .. hating Akechi because he loves men but still liking him because of their close history. He's sticking to outwardly hating Akechi and hiding this conflict.

(Neutral-Negative) PS4 Boy - He probably treats Joker (5) the best out of all his current clients. Mainly because his issue is more manageable, he as a person is more manageable, so Sephiroth tolerates him the best. At least.. At first. Since PS4 boy came back and Sephiroth found out he was gay, he immediately dropped respect for PS4 boy, though he does hold more respect than Yosuke. Mainly because PS4 boy seems more “””controlling””” over it and less expressive about it.

(Negative) 1g0r÷xxx A!g?s:-I - He’s only known Igor for about a day, and he already basically hates him. Sephiroth… doesn’t understand that people just can't “get over” trauma, and (DESPITE THE IRONY CONCERNING HIS PAST W/ CM) thought that if he exposed Igor to his trauma, he’d just be like “oh wow yeah this is nothing why was i ever traumatized over this?” ! He was wrong and when Igor instead RIGHTFULLY had a breakdown and tried to escape, he immediately soured and probably won’t respect Igor nor his problems as much. He grows more frustrated at 1g0r due to his.. “Teaming up” with Sho to just fuck with Sephiroth and make his life harder. Also finding out he’s gay :-(

(Positive) Hhgregg - He reveres and respects Hhgregg. Kinda weird considering Sephiroth’s Christian and Hhgregg is a god but not his God but ig he’s resolved it by the whole “different dimension” thing. He enjoys Hhgregg’s company, appreciates the fact that Hhgregg is the reason he’s a therapist in the first place. He IS concerned with the fact that he’s besties with CM but he chooses to ignore it most of the time and, as always, pretends CM doesn’t exist around Hhgregg. Probably the only person he doesn't completely judge for being gay.

(Neutral-Negative) Four: bird 👎He doesn’t hold any personal feelings towards Four at all, but at around the point that Four started appearing he started getting antsy that people were trying to sabotage him. So, he constantly tries to keep Four away or kill them just to keep them away from His Therapy.

(Neutral-Positive) Johnathan Blorbo - He doesn’t really hold any feelings towards or against Blorbo since he’s only really interacted with the beast when he tagged along on their vacation. He sort of respects Johnathan more than anyone else since he popped OFF at the church altar.

(Neutral-Negative) Eikichi - no real feelings towards Eikichi, nothing bad, nothing good? Thinks it's funny that Sho called him slurs and is.. suspicious of his relations to Adachi.
