[edit] Backstory
The World Regenesis Organization (WRO, known in Japan as the World Restoration Organization) is an organization that appears in Dirge of Cerberus -Final Fantasy VII-. Two years after Final Fantasy VII, Reeve Tuesti founded the World Regenesis Organization as shown by the acronym 'WRO' on a road sign in the Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children. The primary objective of the WRO is to help heal and protect the planet against those who would wish to do it more harm. To help accomplish this, they have formed a large military force. The WRO is financially backed by an unknown benefactor, hinted to be Rufus Shinra hoping to help undo the damage he and his company caused to the planet.
Members of WRO include many military units and scientists, as well as Cait Sith, an animatronic cat designed by Reeve (although usually controlled by Reeve, it seems capable of independent actions and has its own distinct voice and personality); Shalua Rui, a WRO scientist; Yuffie Kisaragi, drafted into the WRO and placed in charge of espionage and intelligence gathering; Cid Highwind, placed in charge of the airship division.
Additionally, several characters from Final Fantasy VII have helped aid the WRO, but it is unsure if they are official members, or simply lending Reeve a hand. These include Cloud Strife, Tifa Lockhart, Barret Wallace (likely aiding in the search for an alternative natural resource in oil), Red XIII, and Rufus Shinra (likely financial backer of the WRO). Though not a member, Vincent Valentine aided the WRO on many occasions as he is targeted by the Deepground.
[edit] Design
The design for the WRO troops' weapons seems heavily based on modern day service pistols and assault rifles, contrary to the weapons used by Deepground. For example, the carbine used by WRO infantrymen seems based on the Sig model 552 Assault Rifle, while the Deepground rifles appear to be modified Lee Enfield rifles dating back to World War II.
The pistols used by the WRO aslo seem to be hybrids of the tradition M1911A1 pistol and the TT33 Tokarev. The clearest examples of these are used by Shalua Rui and Reeve Tuesti.
