AVALANCHE is a eco-terrorist group that is dedicated to protecting the planet from those who would do it harm. Founded by an unknown person, the principles for the terrorist group came from a deep study of the life cycle of the planet and it's relation to Mako Energy. The group believes that the continued harvesting of Mako will eventually destroy the world by sucking the Lifestream, the source of life on The Planet, dry. To this end, AVALANCHE dedicates itself to ending Mako harvesting by any means necessary, putting it at odds with the ShinRa Electric Power Company. Due to these methods, many view AVALANCHE as a gang of delusional murderers who indiscriminately kill for their goals. Others view them as freedom fighters who stand toe to toe with ShinRa. The group fell under hard times when its ideals were corrupted by Fuhito and other radicals, who attempted to use the group's actions for his own selfish ends. However, this AVALANCHE was crushed by the actions of SOLDIER and the group almost was no more. The group was reestablished by by members who were disillusioned by this group and sought to return the group to it's idealistic past. AVALANCHE is made up of idealistic individuals who make up different cells that act in coordination in order to accomplish founding principles. Each cell is headed by a chosen leader and is made up of a small group. The most notable of these cells is the group that operates from ShinRa territory itself, led by Barret Wallace. Each cell has its own methods, however most use acts of terrorism in order to get the message out there and to strike a blow against ShinRa's resources.

History

AVALANCHE as an eco-terrorist organization comprises of people who believe that Shinra's actions in the use of its Mako Reactors are harmful to the Planet. The organization was sought to be twisted by the actions of Fuhito. But upon his ultimate death, right around the coming of the Heartless - Shalua Rui saw a need for this organization to keep beating. Not only because of Shinra's deeds, but also because the Heartless seemed to be trying to get into the Lifestream.

In this world, they have come to be based out of Cosmo Valley. With Shinra at war with Wutai - it is feared that they will do anything to gain an upper hand, and increase their Mako-energy efforts. They may be needed more than ever. And with the strong words of Barret, and his leadership abilities, Shalua Rui has finally taken to the sidelines so that this new generation may do what the original organization could not do. However, she remains, so that she may step in if this man desires to take Fuhito's path.
