Set two years after the events of Final Fantasy VII, Cloud now leads a
solitary life traveling the Planet as a transporter. The office of Strife
Delivery Service is located in 7th Heaven, which also functions as an orphanage
for children stricken with Geostigma.
Three new enemies make an appearance in Advent Children. Kadaj, their leader,
is in his teens, while Yazoo and Loz are known to be in their twenties. In them,
Cloud sees shadows of FFVII's fallen hero, Sephiroth. The three are after
“Mother” and refer to Cloud as their “Brother”. Having obtained
Jenova's head, their purpose appears to be to start another Reunion. Vincent
suspects that with Jenova’s cells, they may even be able to create another
Sephiroth.
A non-contagious disease known as Geostigma is spreading across the Planet,
with Kadaj claiming that it is due to Jenova's cells working hard in the
Lifestream. Children tend to show signs of Geostigma first, though adults are
susceptible to the disease as well. Symptoms of Geostigma include mental
weakness, pain and even death. Cloud is known to suffer from this disease though
he hides his affected arm beneath his sleeve. He is heard coughing and clutching
his arm in some parts of the trailers. Victims bandage affected regions and it
was Cloud's used bandage, which Marlene found in the Church, that gave away his
condition.
