Shin-Ra Corporation
Shin-Ra corporation is the gigantic company which holds a great deal of power. Shin-Ra was originally an electric company, but after the discovery of Mako energy it expanded into many other areas including but not limited to the creation of weapons and the exploration of space. They plan on making the perfect army, and expanding their political power. They're led by Manfred von Elbe ever since Rufus Shinra's been missing in action. The corporation conducts many experimentations on numerous subjects, warping their body in twisted ways, all to forward their plans on world domination.
Shin-Ra Executive: High-ranked Shin-Ra staff, reserved for active members. Also requires an extensive application. There are several branches to this, and here are the open and taken positions for each department. Some are taken by canon characters even though they're may not actually be an RPer.

Shin-Ra Manager: Higher-ranked Shin-Ra staff member.

Shin-Ra Personnel: A typical staff member of the ShinRa corporation.

VESOU: Assasains working for Manfred von Elbe alone, they are completely loyal and do his bidding, even if that involves killing off another in the company. Their trademark is that they're a deck of cards. In order to obtain this position, one would have to know quite a bit about the world of Sephiroth's Dungeon. If you're a beginning player, you can also contact an admin about the position.

CORPS: These are the SOLDIERs that have remained loyal to Manfred. Their genetics have been altered, and their bodies infused with Mako. Their strength is immense, and often times seemingly unparalleled.

Shin-Ra Military Police: The enlisted men of the Shin-Ra military. They're not an elite fighting force like SOLDIER, and they're usually found wearing the dark blue uniforms with the helms. The company leaders however, are found wearing red with a slightly different outfit. Their weapons of choice are generally guns.

Shin-Ra Scientist: Does genetic experiments within Shin-Ra Corporation. Follows the orders of Hojo most of the time.

Shin-Ra Experiments
The rebellious experiments that have escaped from Shin-Ra.
Remnant: Those infused with Jenova cells. They're something like Kadaj, Yazoo and Loz, but not quite that powerful.

Experiment: Nothing to do with Sephiroth, however their genetics have been altered with Mako or other forms of mutation. Commonly low doses of the stagnated mako, G-substance, or of Jenova cells are used to bring about the common regenerative properties.

Metamorphose: Experiments such as Vincent Valentine or Azul the Cerulean that have the ability to shift into various creatures. However, their ability to hold their form is limited. Common creatures allowed to be shifted into include: small dragons, wyverns, felines, canines and aves. You can be creative with your shifting form, however it should be within reason. Note that the more powerful the creature, the more intense of an application is required.
Rebel Forces
A team dedicated to Rufus Shin-Ra, and the restoration of the company's former glory. Their mission is to overthrow Manfred.

Turk: The former assasains of the Shin-Ra corporation. They're the ones who do the kidnapping, and other dirty work, and their loyalties are to Rufus Shinra. Mostly reserved for canon characters. Their outfit is their trademark Navy blue pants suit and tie.

Turklet: Non-canon characters that want to be a member of the Turks. They have to go through training, and be approved by Tseng before they can be promoted. Their outfit is a jet black pantsuit, the light gray tie seemingly optional.

SOLDIER 1st Class: High-ranking soldiers clad in purple combat fatigues, and the body armour covors their chest, head and arms. Their weapon is of their choice but they have a 'Sword of Doom' technique, similar to Braver, and normally have the materia Silence. To obtain this class, it requires an extensive application.

SOLDIER 2nd Class: Higher ranking soldiers clad in red combat fatiques with body armour covering their chest, head and arms. Their weapon is generally a lance-like sword, but it depends on the weilder. Generally they don't have materia, but what they do have is a special physical attack similar to Braver called Sword of Doom. To obtain this rank, it requires a decent application.

SOLDIER 3rd Class: Lower ranking soldiers clad in blue combat fatigues, who also don the same armor as the higher ranks. Their weapon is generally a sickle. They're usually equpped with the Bold and Ice materia. Also requires a decent application.

SOLDIER in Training: A new camp has been set up for those who want to Roleplay new recruits.
World Regenesis Organization
The WRO was created after Meteorfall, financed by an unknown organization, and helmed by Reeve Tuesti. Its mandate is to protect the planet and help its healing process. Of course anything and everything said below is stated in Reeve's point of view. Sort of.
Grunts: Front-line fighters. You fine fellows will man the field in our never-ending quest to take on the never-ending elite troops of Shinra I MEAN rescue kids' kittens from trees and help hot single women clear their homes of debris. It's a very rewarding post! Just try not to get in any firefights, since everyone knows the WRO is as a scared kitten without Vincent to help us. Did I say that out loud? Oshi-

Commanders: The result of what happens when a Grunt eats his/her Wheaties and drinks all their milk at breakfast. Experienced fighters all, the Commanders take charge and pave the way in our quest to restore the world to its former glory. Also, ridiculous mustaches a la DoC are completely optional.

Administrative: This might sound boring, but without secretaries and engineers the WRO would be helpless. More helpless. You know what I mean. Also, you'll probably end up working alongside the goateed sex god that is Reeve Herbert Tuesti. Rawr.

Faction-less
Mercenary: Free-lance fighter, they often take up jobs from different factions. Generally speaking they're not allianced in anyway. This class is also aligned with anyone who's faction-less and has the ability to fight.

Thief: One who's specialty is getting out of sticky situations. They also enjoy stealing...

Civilian: One who isn't aligned with any faction and has little to no fighting experience.
Creatures
Cosmo: Nanaki-like (Red XIII) race born to Cosmo Canyon and very intelligent. They can live for hundreds of years. Their appearance resembles a mixture between a Lion and a Wolf.

Puppet: A remoted controlled puppet like Cait Sith. Can be anything from another cat, to a moogle, to a chocobo. Could be a mech, et cetera.

Moogle: The real fuzzy adorable creatures with a pom-pom on it's head and two purple wings attached to it's back.
