Character Summary

Squall Leonhart is an ally of Sora on his quest to rid the world of Heartless and Nobodies. After his world was destroyed by the Heartless, he changed his name to Leon in an attempt to amend for his mistakes, vowing never to use his real name until the Heartless are defeated and his world restored.

When Sora first meets Leon, his personality is that of a withdrawn and quiet loner, but he eventually opens up to become a more caring person. Although appearing as sullen and brooding in Traverse Town, after returning home to Hollow Bastion in he seems to be more cheerful, is seen to be smiling more often, and also has a special bond with Cloud.

Respect Tifa Lockhart

Character Summary

By day, she’s the unassuming bartender of Seventh Heaven, where she mixes drinks and changes lives. By night, she’s a member of the eco-terrorist organization known only as AVALANCHE fighting to take down the energy corp Shinra before it sucks Midgar dry in the name of quarterly profits.

Tifa is not motivated solely by a desire to protect the planet however. For her, it’s personal. Years ago, when she was barely more than a child, her village was destroyed by Soldier First Class, Sepiroth, the ultimate weapon in Shinra’s ranks. Adrift from her home, purposeless and alone, Tifa reforged her life, ready to take the fight to Shinra itself with the powerful martial arts skills ingrained into her over years of relentless training.

Then, one day, the past she’d thought long lost walked through the doors of her bar and she gave it a mission: destroy the mako reactor number 5.

Weapons

As a strictly melee fighter, Tifa’s only weapons are various gloves, knuckles, and claws worn over her hands.

1. Homelander - when Stormfront is preaching white supremacy to his son, he gives her a “wtf” look. He believes that all people are created equal—inferior to him.

2. Joker - During a crossover with Red Skull, he reveals that he may be a criminal lunatic, but he’s still an American by golly! The more accurate reason for hating them is probably their order and structure, with Joker being strictly chaotic.

After decades of trolley problems, the city has finally decided to remove one of the tracks, eliminating the need for a lever and any life-or-death decision-making.

You are enjoying a nostalgic morning by the now deactivated lever when you see a police car crash on top of the nearby track. You rush to the scene and see a police officer sitting unconscious in the driver seat, bleeding from the head. Behind them, in the prisoner transport area, you see a man in handcuffs with blood covering his hands and wrists.

Up ahead you see a trolley approaching at high-speed. You don’t know if you will have time to save both the police officer and man in handcuffs. You also can’t tell if the police officer is alive or dead. The man in handcuffs is banging on the window, pleading for you to help them.

What do you do?
