About:
Blake Jones was obsessed with the truth. He was born and raised in the slums of Sector One and no one was surprised when he became a respected journalist. As a young man he was a special correspondent for the war in Wu-Tai. He traveled with a group of soldiers delivering news straight from the battlefield. After the war, he traveled to Cosmo Canyon under false pretenses and wrote a bestselling book called, The Life Stream: A Theory.
A few years ago his editor asked him to do a piece on a rising cult of people who had been experimented on with Jenova cells. The journalist went undercover to discover the secret truth about the cult. He attended several meetings and listened to their ramblings with skepticism.
They talked about a goddess trapped somewhere in the Shin-Ra building. He learned that once those who had been blessed by the mother were reunited with her physical form, the world would end. At first, he sought to share this knowledge in an effort to prevent what he now feels is inevitable but he suffered a loss of purpose after a bombing destroyed the printing presses.
He'd gone back to his apartment to write his article when he heard a loud boom echo through the sector. He ran to the window and threw open the shutters. A large plume of smoke rose from the news building a few blocks away. He ran out of the house and down the street to discover what had happened. Shin-ra had already arrived at the scene and were keeping people back. He was told AVALANCHE had destroyed the printing presses as revenge for some articles the newspaper had printed about them earlier that month.
Blake was devastated by the destruction of his workplace. Didn't people care about freedom of speech? He only ever wanted to bring the unbiased facts about current events to the general public and now he found himself without purpose. Rather than sit around moping he zealously investigated the bombing. Curiosity was Blake's downfall. He eventually discovered it had not been AVALANCHE but Shin-ra who had destroyed his precious printing press.
Midgar had become a politically divisive place and people were too distracted taking one side or the other, Shin-Ra or AVALANCHE, to care about this secret project or the cult of worshipers he had discovered. Blake lost faith in humanity and in the end he came to accept that the destruction of the planet at the hands of the mother was both inevitable and for the best. Both rich and poor would be judged alike and only those elements deemed most beneficial would live on in the goddess as she moved on to rule a new world.
Blake is a naturally gifted healer and he uses his skills to aid those who are kind to him but he sees little point in doing much of anything. He is just a guy waiting for the world to end.
