I thought i make a new thread for this now i have finished the Final Fantasy VII d20 Roleplaying Game (the link to the thread can be found in my signature), i have decided to make this campaign guide which i would greatly appreciate all the help i can get. below is what i have done so far.

Timeline
ΕУΛ 1959 – ΕУΛ 1966
During this point in the history of Final Fantasy VII, Shinra Manufacturing Works is little more than a weapons dealer; secretly providing arms for both sides of a war that was being waged between the eight major towns located in the Midgar Grasslands. Through blackmail and bribery, Shinra became the sole ruler of the Midgar towns and merged them to become the City of Midgar. Upon discovery of the Lifestream, Shinra researched in how to harness the planet’s blood and to use it to produce a new energy source: Mako. With this new energy source, Shinra decides to use its effectiveness to control all the landmasses on the planet and dominate the world. This lays the foundation for the Shinra Electric Power Company.
As Shinra expanded and created a new Scientific Research Department within the company, its department head, Professor Gast, discovered a geological stratum and mislabelled it as a Cetra. Gast named this being JENOVA. It is not until the end of this period that crystallised Mako is discovered, which Shinra scientists name ‘Materia’. Research is then undertaken to find out its full potential.
Also during these years is the war between the Wolfions of Cosmo Canyon and the Gi-Na-Kas of the Gi Tribe. The war ends when a brave Wolfion named Seto met the oncoming Gi army in the caverns below Cosmo Canyon and trapped them within, forcing the Gi Tribe to starve to death. But this, however, came at a price as Seto was locked away with the Gi Tribe as well. Seto took on Gi Nattak head on and was the target of his poisonous arrows, which turned Seto’s body to stone.

ΕУΛ 1967 – ΕУΛ 1974
In this period of history, Shinra began construction of their first Mako Reactor on Mt. Nibel, which would be completed late εуλ 1968. During its construction, JENOVA was transported deep within the reactor’s confinements and sealed away.
Shinra scientists Grimoire Valentine and Lucrecia Crescent, having done extensive research into an ancient legend surrounding two entities born of the Planet known as Chaos and Omega, make new progress in their research when they discover the Crystal Cave, the place where Chaos is said to awaken at the appointed time. After mistakenly awakening Chaos's malevolent spirit, Grimoire is killed while protecting Lucrecia from the attacking Chaos. Soon after, the Scientific Research Department scraps the project, deeming it pointless and not cost affective.

ΕУΛ 1975 – ΕУΛ 1982
It is at the start of this period that Shinra begins the planning and construction of a ‘plate’ above the City of Midgar, with a modernised headquarters at the heart of it to house the location of the Shinra Electric Power Company. Upon completion of the central skyscraper, immoral experiments begin beneath its structure. These experiments lay the foundation of the DEEPGROUND project.
The Shinra Science Department begins the JENOVA Project, with the goal of further studying the unearthed being so that they may learn more about the Ancients and their powers as well as the possibility of implementing these powers into humans. The project is headed up by Professor Gast, with help from fellow Shinra scientists Professor Hojo, Dr. Hollander, and Lucrecia Crescent. As the JENOVA Project advances in its stages, the scientists of the project decide to attempt to genetically engineer a human with cells from JENOVA. However, Professor Hojo and Dr. Hollander have differing methods for how this process should be carried out. In the end, the two scientists establish two different projects for this under the JENOVA Project: Hojo establishes Project S, which is based in Nibelheim's Shinra Mansion, while Hollander establishes Project G, based in Banora Village.
Upon learning of the horrific experiments happening within Shinra, Professor Gast permanently leaves the company and sets off to discover more information about the Cetra, the planet, and JENOVA. In his absence, Professor Hojo and Dr. Hollander wage a power struggle with the Scientific Research Department. Hojo becomes the new head of the department after his Project S becomes recognised as the more superior project over Hollander’s Project G.

ΕУΛ 1983 – ΕУΛ 1991
In this point in history, Gast travels the planet and visits Cosmo Canyon, home to a group of people who know much about the Planet. During his time in Cosmo Canyon, Gast provides Bugenhagen with scientific equipment so that he may better monitor the Planet. Soon after, Gast meets a woman named Ifalna, one of the last Cetras on the planet. Initially, he takes an interest in her, wanting to know more about her people and the planet. However, they eventually fall in love and retire to Icicle Inn, on the Northern Continent. It would only be a matter of a couple of years before Hojo tracks Gast down and kills him in cold blood. Hojo then kidnaps Iflana and her baby daughter Aerith, bringing them back to Shinra Headquarters for research and experiments.
Also during this period of time, Nero is born in Deepground as the result of experiments involving the injection of stagnant Mako into fetuses. As he was born, a void of darkness formed around the infant's body, pulling his mother into it, never to be seen again. Nero is the only successful result of these stagnant Mako injection experiments. This Period ends with Shinra completing the plate construction above the City of Midgar, with the exception of Sector 6, forcing the land below to become dark and nameless.

New Playable Race - Half-Alien
Half-Aliens are few and far between. Born from either the JENOVA Project or the DEEPGROUND experiment, Half-Aliens are, to put simply, creatures with unearthly abilities and strength. They are descendants of JENOVA, who was mistaken to being a Cetra upon the discovery of its remains at the Northern Cave.
Half-Aliens look exactly like normal humans, but with several alien-esque features; such as the slim-line face, pale skin, and striking green eyes with cat-like pupils. Because of this, just like the Cetra, they can blend in and appear like regular Humans, if it weren’t for the fact that their “mako eyes” give them away.
Example Half-Aliens: Angeal Hewley, Genesis Rhapsodos, Nero the Sable, Rosso the Crimson, Sephiroth, Weiss the Immaculate.

HALF-ALIEN RACE TRAITS
Half-Aliens have the following race traits.
Ability Modifiers: +4 Str, +2 Dex, +2 Int, -4 Con, -2 Wis, -2 Cha.
Medium-size: As Medium-sized creatures, Half-Aliens have no special bonuses or penalties due to their size, however their carrying capacity is 5x that of normal Medium-sized creatures.
Speed: Half-Alien base speed is 6 squares.
Jenova’s Cells: A Half-Alien character gains a +5 natural armour bonus to their Reflex Defence.
Fast Healing: A Half-Alien character regains hit points at a faster rate than normal (see the Natural Healing sidebar in Chapter 11 of the Player's Handbook).
Immunity: A Half-Alien character is immune to all status-effects, except zombie. A spell or effect that inflicts the Half-Alien with a status-effect, with which he is immune too, automatically fail.
Automatic Languages: Basic.

PEACH please. Also, im looking to make some prestige classes, new materia and feats, and new talent trees for existing classes so any help would greatly be appreciated.
