History:
Kuja is a Genome created by Garland in 1776, 24 years prior to the game's beginning. Garland's ultimate plan was to assimilate the planet Terra with the planet of Gaia by gradually replacing the Gaian souls with Terran ones. To speed up the process, Garland created Kuja and sent him to Gaia to encourage war and destruction so that people would die quicker and the souls of Gaia could be replaced faster. Thus, it is Kuja's nature to cause death.
However, Garland initially deemed Kuja a failure. Kuja was created as he was, and never got to experience childhood. As such, he never developed any human emotions and so would never be able to attain Trance, the world's ultimate power. A strong mind of his own with no feelings of remorse or consciousness was a dangerous mix, perfect for inciting war, but ultimately difficult for Garland to harness to his own ends. Garland decided to create another Genome, who would be different from Kuja since the outset, and thus Zidane was born. Zidane was created as a child, which meant he would be able to learn and grow and thus develop the ability for complex emotions needed to attain Trance, making him superior to Kuja.
While Garland never told him, Kuja was only a temporary Angel of Death, meant to kill people on Gaia until Garland could perfect the true Angel of Death, the perfect Genome, Zidane. Kuja felt threatened by this new Genome, and so he kidnapped him and took him to Gaia where he abandoned him. Garland was thus forced to continue using Kuja while a third Angel of Death was created, but outraged at Kuja's behaviour, Garland banished Kuja from travelling to and from Terra. Kuja, defiant of his master, made his home in the Desert Palace instead. According to the Final Fantasy IX Ultimania[1], it was Kuja who destroyed Madain Sari ten years before the game's start on Garland's instructions. Garland, fearful that the summoners' power to call forth the magical Eidolons would come between him and his plans, wanted to eradicate the practise from Gaia. Kuja, however, grew curious at these mythical beasts his master so feared, and came to pursue them himself.
The strongest Eidolon in human memory, Alexander, summoned only once 500 years ago and after being deemed too dangerous its crystal was divided up in four fragments so it may never be summoned again, sounded perfect to Kuja. At this time, Kuja was already scheming for his own, and only appeared loyal to Garland on the surface. The truth was that Kuja knew if Garland's plan to fuse the planets together was to succeed his role as the Angel of Death would end and his soul would no longer be his own and instead, Garland would make him into a regular Genome made to serve others as a mere soul vessel. The idea was unbearable to Kuja, who in his childish selfishness didn't think the world deserved to exist without him. Kuja knew he wasn't powerful enough to take on Garland alone, but as Garland appeared to fear Gaia's Eidolons so, Kuja thought he had found the perfect weapon to use to eventually overthrow Garland and become the master of Terra and Gaia both. With this idea in mind, Kuja began to pursue Alexander's crystal shards. Kuja served as a weapons supplier to Queen Brahne so that she could conquer the neighbouring nations of Burmecia and Lindblum and capture the crystal shards. The weapons that Kuja supplied Brahne were the Black Mages, soulless golems with the power to use powerful magic. After Burmecia was conquered, Zidane and Freya Crescent arrived too late to defend the kingdom. After spying on Kuja, Brahne, and Beatrix at the Burmecian ruins, they attacked but were defeated by the Queen's general, Beatrix. The three villains departed, but Kuja delayed his departure and observed Zidane. It is unknown if he recognized him or not, but it is unlikely as Kuja boarded his dragon and flew off, leaving Zidane alive. Meanwhile, Brahne, under Kuja's advice, extracted her daughter's Eidolons from her, and used one of them, Odin, to destroy the survivors of Burmecia at Cleyra and to capture Cleyra's crystal shard. Zidane and his allies snuck aboard Brahne's airship during the attack and teleported back to Alexandria.
Shortly after he rescued Garnet, Zidane and his allies undergo a series of events in which Garnet learns her roots as a summoner, and the group is overall split in two. Zidane, Garnet and Vivi return to Lindblum, only to see Brahne use another Eidolon, Atomos, to conquer it. At this time, Regent Cid tells them about Kuja's role as Brahne's weapons supplier. The three decide to turn their attention to defeating Kuja and cutting off Brahne's supply of Black Mages. Armed with the knowledge that Kuja came from the north, they set out to the Outer Continent.
On the Outer Continent, Zidane and his allies track Kuja, following leads to the Black Mage Village and Madain Sari, recruiting Quina Quen, Eiko Carol and Amarant Coral on the journey. The group continue on to the Iifa Tree, a gigantic tree that assists in filtering the Gaian and Terran souls - the mist that Kuja uses to create the Black Mages is a byproduct of this process. The party kill SoulCage, stopping the flow of mist, but Kuja arrives on his dragon and tells them he no longer cares.
Brahne's fleet arrives, and Brahne, deeming she no longer needs him, attacks Kuja. Kuja survives Brahne's attacks and forces her to summon Bahamut to try and destroy him. However, Kuja enslaves Bahamut by using the Invincible and uses it to kill the Queen by destroying her fleet. Garnet is crowned the new queen, and Kuja returns to Alexandria, intent on killing her as well. Kuja summons Bahamut and commands it to destroy the kingdom. Garnet and Eiko rush to the castle's turrets, and call the Eidolon guardian of Alexandria, Alexander, by bringing the four crystal fragments together. Alexander destroys Bahamut, much to Kuja's amazement. Kuja attempts to enslave Alexander and again calls the Invincible, however, Garland is at the controls, and has become aware of Kuja's desire to rebel. The Invincible destroys Alexander and Alexandria, frustrating Kuja and leaving him without an Eidolon to manipulate. Kuja vows he will find an Eidolon even stronger than Alexander and departs.
Zidane and his allies return to Lindblum, where Cid tells them that Kuja has seized control of his airship and may have recruited the sentient Black Mages from the Black Mage Village. They use Cid's sailing ship, the Blue Narciss, to return to the Outer Continent and find Kuja's Desert Palace. Kuja quickly captures the group, and tells Zidane he will release his friends if he retrieves an artefact for him. As Kuja is unable to use his magic due to an anti-magic field around the place, he sends Zidane to Oeilvert with three of his friends.
While Zidane is at Oeilvert, Kuja betrays him and attempts to kill his companions that were left behind. They narrowly escape Kuja's trap, but Zidane returns before Kuja finds the escapees and hands over the Gulug Stone from Oeilvert. Kuja escapes with Eiko, and Zidane follows him to Mount Gulug. In Mount Gulug, Kuja commands Zorn and Thorn to extract Eiko's Eidolons, but the attempt fails because she is too young. At this time, Eiko's pet Moogle Mog enters Trance, unleashing its true power as the Eidolon Madeen. Kuja is surprised by this, and realizes that to enter Trance, one merely needs to experience a surge of powerful emotions. After witnessing the event Kuja formulates a new plan. He decides he doesn't need an Eidolon to fight Garland after all, all he needs is to enter a Trance. With help from Cid's wife Hilda, Zidane and his companions find a path to Terra. On Terra, Zidane meets Garland, who reveals his and Kuja's past to him, claiming that Kuja is in denial of his own existence as a Genome, and hides his distinctive tail to conceal his identity. Although Garland attempts to take Zidane's soul and turn him into an ordinary Genome, he survives, and he and his allies attack Garland. Weakened but alive, Garland is usurped by Kuja, who has taken control of the Invincible and returned to Terra.
Engaging Zidane and his friends, Kuja enters a Trance and crushes them with Ultima. Kuja reveals that he has absorbed the captive souls on the Invincible, including the soul of Queen Brahne; her feelings of greed, hatred and jealousy are the emotional surges Kuja needs to enter such a powerful Trance. Kuja then kicks Garland off of Castle Pandemonium's precipice and declares he will rule both Gaia and Terra. As he taunts the defeated Zidane, Garland's spirit speaks to Kuja, telling him that he is not immortal, that he was created to last only until the real Angel of Death, Zidane, reached maturity. Horrified, Kuja comes to realize that he is nothing more than a temporary pawn, much like the Black Mages. This revelation quickly drives Kuja mad, and he declares he won't let the two worlds exist without him. Enraged, Kuja destroys Terra and returns to Gaia, Zidane and his friends narrowly escaping on Garland's airship along with the other Genomes they saved. They find Gaia now covered in mist, and surmise that Kuja is at the Iifa Tree. With the help of Beatrix commanding an alliance of the survivors of the kingdoms of the Mist Continent, Zidane and his friends penetrate the barrier into Memoria, a world of the souls' memories inside the Iifa Tree. Guided by Garland's spirit, they find the innermost realm of Memoria, the Crystal World.
In the Crystal World, they find Kuja at the Crystal, the source of all life. Still unwilling to allow life to continue without him, Kuja summons Deathguise, who is summarily destroyed. Upset, Kuja engages Zidane's allies himself, and upon his defeat casts Ultima again, defeating them. They appear in a mysterious area and are met with Necron, who has appeared to destroy all life. Necron is defeated, however, and life is allowed to continue.
After Necron's defeat, Kuja uses the last of his powers to teleport Zidane & co. outside the Iifa Tree. Zidane decides to stay behind to rescue Kuja, and he barely makes into the Iifa Tree's core as the trunk and roots outside collapse. Kuja tells Zidane that he is sorry for all that he did, but Zidane understood why he did it. Mikoto, the third Angel of Death Garland had created, tells Kuja in spirit how he taught the Genomes and had given them hope for the future. Suddenly, the interior of the tree begins to collapse as well, and Zidane is seen jumping on top of Kuja to protect him as flailing roots converge on them.
Many years passed, Kuja was trapped in the essence of the Iifa tree, enshrouded by the roots, that seemed to make a dome, a perfect resting place for this insane Genome. However, it would seem Garland had lied to him, or that Zidane and his friends, when they defeated Necron, had saved Kuja from his mortality. He began to plot his revenge, on how he would murder, and destroy all life. It hadn't dawned on Kuja, until only days later, that he found himself no longer on Gaia, but in a completely different world. Like nothing he had ever seen before. It was the start of his new life.
However, Garland initially deemed Kuja a failure. Kuja was created as he was, and never got to experience childhood.

RP Sample:
Sitting their, it all seemed to come back to him. The slight pain he'd felt when Bahamut betrayed him. The feeling of blood dripping after surviving the Mega-Flare. The power he felt he had when he first entered the Trance form. It was all there sitting before his eyes. Nothing seemed to matter.
However, this strange light, betrayed his dark settings. It shaded light on him, and showed the only sense or mortality he had left. That was of course his shadow. Oh graceful shadow, it was, it paled in comparison to the size of the 'Elephant-Ladies' shadow, but it reminded him all too well of Zidane's shadow. They were one in the same, however he was and always would be the better.
