Storyline:
----------
Cid dreamt of flying to outer space since his childhood. He had an opportunity when the Shinra Space Program was initiated, however Cid had to cancel the launch because of Shera, who was repairing a malfunctioning tank. Cid always held this grudge against Shera, while Shera actually loves Cid very much. She has devoted her life to him, pretty much.

Cid is the single most swearing character in FF7, even more so than Barret. Cid looks and acts tough, smoking a cig after each battle. But is heart is in the right place. He has a passion for flying and he's also the captain of the Highwind. He also becomes the party leader for a while during Cloud's absence.
