Shinra Corporation

The Shinra Corporation is ruthless and domineering in their expoitation of the planet's resources. They callously drain it of all makou, or life energy, with little regard for the well-being of either the citizens or the planet itself. Their monopolistic strategies have given them not only economic but political control of the floating city of Midgar. Midgar is fueled by makou reactors that drain the planet of its life energy - a process Avalanche wants stopped. Inside the city, life is clean and prosperous. Outside the city, life is squalid and poverty-stricken ... but Shinra's Public Relations department hides this discrepancy well. The following people hold key positions within Shinra's corporate hierarchy:

President Shinra: Founder and President of Shinra Corporation. Profit is his only concern; lives mean little to him, and nature is for exploitation. "Everything in this world is money!" he has shouted, "What do I care for the cries of the citizenry!"

Rufus Shinra: Vice President of Shinra Corporation He is the son of President Shinra, but is even more cruel and ruthless. He goes so far as to conspire against his own father to seize control of the company! He controls the city of Junon and its giant cannon. There, a banner reads, "Today's President of Shinra: Rufus"

Palmer: Head of Space Development Division. Careless and carefree, he is in charge of rocket development.

Scarlett: Head of Weapons Development Division. Her beauty hides the knowledge of the world's most destructive weapons.

Heidegger: Head of Public Maintenance and Order Division. He controls both the Turks and Soldier groups against Avalanche.

Hojo: Head of Chemistry Division. A gloomy, mad scientist who continuously conducts unusual experiments.
