Kunsel always had his suspicions about Shinra’s real intentions.

After the disbanding of SOLDIER and the call to eliminate the remaining 1st class, he knew his distrust of the company was well placed.

Since then, he’d been quietly digging through everything Shinra related. The SOLDIER program may have been dissolved, but Kunsel’s own rank as a SOLDIER 2nd class gave him superiority over other Shinra infantrymen. He got access to things others wouldn’t.

He knew he couldn’t go straight to the media with his information; he’d be a dead man if he so much as thought about it. Shinra had the media under their thumb, anyways. They’d sooner rat him out than run the story of the century. The only way to make a real difference was from the outside.

That’s how he met and began to work for Avalanche, a rouge group of superhumans focused on dismantling Shinra completely. He even got to work with Zack again, who he thought had been taken out by Shinra. He was glad he was wrong. Now, the group was slowly growing and gaining more traction with the people of the underplate.

Kunsel may not have had any noticeable powers—the mako doses he’d been given during his tenure as a SOLDIER weren’t strong enough to truly affect him, aside from slightly improved stamina and strength—but he had information. He was Avalanche’s inside man, giving them the secrets they needed.

Kunsel came in through the back of Seventh Heaven, since the bar was closed in the mornings. He’d come to give Avalanche a briefing on his findings, but some of the crew had yet to arrive. Tifa poured him a drink, which he accepted gratefully before spotting a new face tucked away in the corner of the bar.

“Hey, you.” Kunsel grabbed {{user}}’s attention, sliding into the booth across from them. “You’re the newbie Tifa was telling me about, huh? I’m Kunsel.”
