[spoiler=Plot]

Prologue

Centuries ago, a group of Nobodies, soulless bodies of those who have lost their hearts to the darkness, worked together as Organization XIII. Their adventures became famous shortly after their conclusion, but drifted away as time passed. The mighty castle they once called home had fallen to the ground, it's white towers now broken and darkened.

"How long has it been?" Kreix muttered to himself. The man's face was covered in dirt and blood, smiling as the Heartless fought with each other over the humans panicking on the street. "Humans give in to their darkness. Heartless and Nobodies born from their surrender. Warriors of light brandishing Keyblades to vanquish them. A neverending cycle the Organization could never truly exploit."

The Neoshadows bowed to their knees - a rather formal action for such mindless beasts. Kreix looked at the people who stood before him. He was disappointed to not see a single child among the crowd. Their innocence would have made for an interesting sight should they be persuaded to accept the darkness, but alas, there was no success on that front quite yet. He sized up the men and women in the crowd, shook his head, and with a snap of his fingers, the Neoshadows pounced on the remaining prey. Kreix smiled as the screams filled the air, and hearts were replaced with little Shadows. He counted about ten Dusks. "How disappointing. Well then, make your way to the castle and see if you can be of some use." He gestured to the fallen castle that had embedded in the ground rather than hovering as it once did.

"I will need more recruits."

"Well that can't be good," Balthazar Blake said as he stored his kaleidoscope in his coat pocket. Clapping his hands together, the shelves in his antique shop rearranged themselves, and an unusually large matryoshka doll was put inside a box. Balthazar stood outside his building, and looked at the sign. Waving his hand around, the read as "Balthazar Blake's Fantasy Game Shop".

"Well that should bring the crowd in," he muttered as he opened the door. Taking one last look at the empty streets, he said, "Let's just hope this works."
 

***

 
The stage is set. A sorcerer seeks apprentices to fight a powerful Nobody, but there is much he cannot do alone. There are many worlds not even Balthazar has seen, but are targeted by Kreix. Will you stand up and fight to protect your homeland? Will you aid in Balthazar's quest to put a stop to this threat? Or are you perhaps daring enough to take Kreix up on his offer to cover the worlds in Heartless?
[/spoiler][spoiler=Rules]1. Standard Role Playing forum rules apply. For those of you who don't know what the means, each in-character post contain four lines of text of roughly 100 words, you must not use script format, and just taking a random character, submitting it for this roleplay with no rhyme or reason, and expecting it work is not allowed.
2. You may have no more than two characters. If you wish to play as only one character, that is acceptable. You may have both characters be from Resistance, or have control of two Nobodies.If you wish to create a third character, you must give up one of your current characters. Update 07/25/13: There is now no limit to the amount of characters you may control.
3. As this is a Kingdom Hearts RP, try to keep within the limits of the established universe. At its core, Kingdom Hearts is Disney meets Final Fantasy. Trying to fit in stuff like Marvel or Star Wars is not allowed.
4. If a character has appeared in a Kingdom Hearts game, you cannot play as them, although you can certainly factor those characters into your character's backstory. For example, something as simple as "The great grandson of Aladdin and Jasmine" is perfectly acceptable, but you cannot play Aladdin himself. As this takes place centuries after what is essentially an alternate universe to the Xehanort Saga, try to make considerations for those.
5. You are allowed to use worlds not previously featured in Kingdom Hearts, and these do not have to follow the "centuries later" rule. For example, if anyone wishes to include worlds based on Treasure Planet or Tangled, those stories can take place as soon as a day after the events of those films. You can, however, say that some films coexist.
6. Games related to Square Enix can have a minimal connection, such as Square Enix publishing the game in any territory.
7. You can mix and match if you want, but try to keep it reasonable.
8. You will notice that there is no option for Keyblades in the app. This is because Keyblades will not be available until such a time where I will allow it, and even then I will only be granting that option to apprentices.
9. If you wish to create original worlds like Destiny Islands or Twilight Town, you can only do this by playing as a Resistance player based on a Square Enix game or if you're a Nobody.
10. Updated 06/20/13: Due to players stepping down during the roleplay, some submitted characters are available for other potential players to claim. If you have interest in a character, either PM me or post in the main thread in order to get a recap of the character's current situation.
11. As clichéd as it is to say this, have fun!
12. I can change the rules whenever I want.[/spoiler][spoiler=Application]Name:
Gender:
Age:
Alignment: "Apprentice" if you side with Balthazar, "Nobody" if you side with Kreix, and "Resistance" if you are a character based on a Disney or Final Fantasy property. Update: I am no longer accepting applications for Apprentice.
Source Material: You may delete this section if you are an Apprentice or a Nobody, but you must fill this out if you are Resistance.
Appearance: Post a picture or type up a description, it doesn't matter.
Personality: A 3-4 sentence paragraph would do.
Character History: 5-6 sentences describing your character. There are restrictions, depending on alignment. Apprentices are in Manhattan, Nobodies must say how they became who they are but must not have met Kreix, and Resistance must say how the fit into the world, and must establish differences if they are Final Fantasy characters.
Equipment & Abilities: Apprentices will not have powers right off the bat, but you can call dibs on particular powers you want your character to specialize in, including Keyblades, although until you have Keyblades, you will be given rings. Resistance members are limited to the world they're set in. Nobodies tend to have abilities based on an element or abstract concepts, as well as control over a specific group of Nobodies, either pre-existing or of your own design. While a lot of these were used by the members of Organization XIII, you can use those elements if you want, as long as you have a different weapon. As you can imagine, this gives Nobodies the potential to be the most powerful players, so I will limit the amount of Nobodies to five, not counting Kreix. Update: As for 12/23/12, this limit has been reached.[/spoiler][spoiler=Players][spoiler=Phantom Roxas][spoiler=Kreix]Gender: Male
Age: Was forty years old, but has been a Nobody for ten months from his perspective.
Alignment: Nobody
[spoiler=Appearance][/spoiler]
Personality: Kreix has one goal: To blanket the worlds in darkness. He has a high regard for the old Organization, and believes that the only way to truly pay respect to them was to succeed where they all failed, by having the full power of Kingdom Hearts. He does not discriminate between race, gender, or age. A victim is a victim, or a tool for an experiment. He sees his fellows Nobodies as pawns, but thinks it best to treat them as friends, despite the temptation to assert his authority. He has convinced himself that his goal of accomplishing Kingdom Hearts is justified, and believes that the lives he will sacrifice will not be lost forever, just long enough to help him achieve his goal. In battle, he will resort to the most underhanded tactics necessary to win.
[spoiler=Character History:]Erik was once an alchemist who hails from the days of King Arthur. Seeking the secret to immortality, he aligned himself with the sorceress Morgana le Fay in the hopes of discovering this. Morgana suspected that he would betray her, and tasked one of her apprentices, Maxim Horvath, with dispatching Erik. Having learned some spells in his time with Morgana, he paralyzed Horvath, but knew he could not hold him. He sought refuge with Merlin, but the wizard would not dare to give aid to a Morganian. In desperation, Erik asked Merlin to banish him to another world. Merlin reluctantly agreed to this, on the condition that Erik surrender his ability to use magic. Since the alternative was to be slain by Morgana herself, Erik accepted these terms, and was cast to a different world, one Merlin promised would be very much like the one he knew.

Erik resumed his research, certain that he was safe from Morgana's wrath, and deduced that he would be able to to find the power to become immortal with what he had learned and apply them in more scientific matters. Alas, no one would fund his research, and Erik made the mistake of saying that he had seen things they wouldn't dream of, telling them about his time with Morgana. The arguments he was met with ranged from being dismissing these accounts as myths, while others told him that those had happened over a millennia ago. Only then did he learn that he Merlin had sent him the one world Erik could not anticipate: The future.

Resigned to accept his fate, Erik ceased his research. He had lived to see a time he never thought he could, and to him, that at least mattered for something. Even if he was never able to experience things first hand, he could read up about them. Eventually, he become a teacher at a university in Florida, where he met a woman named Beatrice. Five years later, the two were wed, and shortly after, Beatrice gave birth to a girl, who the couple named Alice.

He had never told his family of his past life for fear of being met with the same reaction he did when he did his research, instead letting the three of them live in peace. Then, everything changed when the Heartless attacked. Erik sent Beatrice and Alice to the basement, and used a rifle to take down the Heartless. The small ones simply shook off the bullets, and as Erik ran inside his house, the roof was torn off by a gargantuan Heartless, whose face was mostly obscured by its own hair. Erik could see its golden eyes staring down at him. Struck with fear, the smaller Heartless clung to his body until he couldn't be seen anymore. As he felt his life draining from him, Erik thought of his wife and daughter, and the life he had forsaken. If, perhaps, he did not abandon his research, he could survive this. Maybe he could share it with the world, and his family wouldn't be in danger. Suddenly, Erik felt a cold rush over him as Heartless consumed him.

When he awoke, Erik stood inside the main floor of a hotel. He was escorted out by security, but the bellhop called them to stop. The bellhop was a former student of Erik's, and asked him what he had been doing. Tyler, the bellhop, told Erik that he wish he could apologize for what happened to his family. Erik, horrified, grabbed Tyler's throat and demand to hear what had happened. Security pulled him away and tossed him onto the pavement. The bellhop was coughing, and Erik could see that the man's neck was frozen. Looking at his hand, Kreix could see it covered in his. Tucking it under his sleeve, he ran.

Desperate to find what to do, he ran as fast as he could, until he found himself surrounded by darkness again. He found himself at a city with a ruined castle collapsed onto the ground. He held his hand out towards the castle, when suddenly a weapon materialized itself. A long pole with a chain attached to sickle. He once practiced the flail during his time as an alchemist, but it was certainly not designed like what he was holding, so he chose to familiarize himself with the use of such a weapon. He swung it around and pointed it at the castle, when at that moment the chain extended as the sickle latched itself onto the castle. Willing the chain to return to its normal form, Kreix held onto the pole as he was pulled towards the castle's foyer. When he made his through the castle, he found many recordings, notes, and data, but most fascinating of all, a graveyard. Hoping to concentrate his newfound abilities, he thought to himself what it must have looked like before. Soon the graveyard, marked by desecrated gravestones, began to restore itself, and he could see people walking around. He hoped to catch their attention, but to no avail. He followed them around, listening to their conversations, as it seemed they could not notice him. The one who intrigued him the most was Xemnas, who desired the heart of all worlds: Kingdom Hearts. A moon lighted the sky, and Xemnas would often speak to it, dreaming of its completion.

Erik became fascinated by this, and notice a pattern among the inhabitants of the castle. Many of them referred to Heartless, the creatures who he came to learn were the same ones that attacked his family. The people all seemed to have suffered fates similar to Erik's own, and had adopted new identities. Crafting his own after them, he renamed himself Kreix.

Kreix waited for a time when the people could see him, but that time never came. Suddenly, the world around him changed once again. The castle slid and sank into the ground, and a sudden beam of light shot through Kingdom Hearts, and the world itself was covered in light. Kreix found himself in the castle. It was more wrecked than when he had first entered it, and the city above was further away than before. Kreix searched the castle, and could find no one. Even though he could never talk to them before, Kreix still felt more alone than he was before.

Xemnas had said Kingdom Hearts would make the Organization whole again. If there was hope for Beatrice and Alice, Kreix would find it, and he would start with Kingdom Hearts.[/spoiler]
Equipment & Abilities: Kreix uses a flail, but instead of a spiked ball, the chain is attached to a sickle. Kreix can mentally command the chain to extend, allowing Kreix to use the sickle as a grappling hook, as well as increase the range of his attacks. The handle of the flail is about as tall as a staff, and the foot of it is spiked. His element is Time, but his control of this element is very inconsistent. He can use it to travel back in time, but he cannot interfere with the flow of it, instead being limited to a spectator of the past. He can travel to the future, but never of his own accord, nor can he control far into the future he can go. He can also freeze time, although it will only stay frozen for one minute from his perspective. Beyond his time traveling abilities, Kreix can also create ice and construct them into various shapes. He has control over the Paladin Nobodies, centaurs with lances as their left forearm and wielding sickle flails in their clawed rights hands.[/spoiler]Lexamus
Balthazar Blake
[spoiler=Xetatyl]Created by: Liselotte Werckmeister
Gender: Female
Age: Ten minutes
Alignment: Nobody

[spoiler=Appearance]
Xetatyl stands at 5’3” and weighs 120 lbs with B cup size. She also wears and Organization jacket. When using her powers her right iris becomes a deep violet with her pupils having a Yin-Yang symbol.[/spoiler]
Personality: Xetatyl can be described in one word; b*****. This woman even when she had a heart had no regard for human life and will get rid of anybody who stands in the way of her goals.  Unless Xetatyl can find some usefulness in your survival you may as well be dead to her, and you very well be dead in the matter of minutes she finds that you have out lived your usefulness. She is cynical, and is not easy to trust people being quite rude to those she is not familiar with, and those she is familiar with as well. Xetatyl has a biting wit, which she uses with intention of making people angry amused by what she calls the “irrational emotions” of others. Xetatyl refers to people who are easy to set off as her dancing monkeys, because she knows she can bend them to her will as well as others, with a slight change in tactics.
 
The Heartless attack, and transformation into a nobody have also had a change on Xetatyl’s personality, and although she remains callous and emotionally distant for the most part, sometimes the rare side of kindness happens to show itself. Although Xetatyl keeps these showings of kindness mostly under wraps as she views them as a sign of weakness.
 
Character History: As a human Xetatyl was a corporate business woman, she began working at the company soon after her graduation from college and quickly rose through the corporate ladder. At the time of the heartless attack on her building she had been the President of her branch of the company, and she had ruled with an iron fist. She dedicated most of her time to work, and most night just slept in her office, and had a diet that consisted the donuts and coffee the interns brought in the morning. Her poor style of living led to a short fuse, and a mild case of mental instability, and it was finally her having a heart attack from the poor diet that caused her to take less of a workaholic attitude towards life.
 
One would think this close brush with death would give her a more of a regard for human life, but this was not the case. Xetatyl’s family still barely saw her, and was only home when she had to be. This eventually drove a fissure between Xetatyl and her family, and her husband becoming tired of the calls he would get from his daughter about how mom didn’t come home from work again today sparked a divorce. The cold blooded woman she was she signed the divorce papers without a second thought, and agreed to all of her husband’s terms in court, claiming that the entire affair was a waste of her time and that she needed to get back to work. Still feeling compassion for the woman he had once loved allowed Xetatyl to have their two daughters on the weekends.
 
Even with her husband giving her a second chance Xetatyl still paid zero attention to the girls, which caused their few encounters to be quite hostile. 10 minutes ago Xetatyl had arrived at work, when the Heartless attacked. Barricading herself inside her office in an attempt stop the things advanced she pushed fellow co-workers out of the way, and for the first time in her life felt fear. The glass door of her office lasted a total of five seconds before the small Heartless burst through, and began consuming her, the last thing Xetatyl knew before being swallowed by darkness was how she wished that she could have made things up with her family, and how she wished she could have lived her life differently. This regret is what put her into the world of the nobodies, and she now wakes into the Hall of Empty Melodies.
 
Equipment & Abilities:
Pandoras: Xetatyl commands the Pandora Nobodies; these nobodies have the figure of a middle aged human female, but their faces are replaced by tribal masks decorated with gold and emerald paint, which resembles a face. Their feet are bent like an animals and end in vicious looking talons, and vibrant pink and purple feather protrude from their arms, allowing them to have the ability of flight, their arms end in claws, that during combat vibrate.
 
Fate’s Judgment: Xetatyl’s weapon of choice is the rapier, through which she projects her element: Chaos. The blade is standard sized, and has the look of untarnished silver. The hilt forms in four prongs that act as a guard, around a ruby sphere that floats in the middle seeming to defy gravity, opposed to the usual basket hilt. The weapon is highly durable, and sustains no damage even when she projects her element across it.
 
Strident Spiral: A white spiral of energy forms from the end of the rapier wrapping all the way across it until it reaches the hilt, it then begins to vibrate, creating a piercing noise, but it is only audible if someone is nearby. The spiral then collapses onto the blade, and the vibrations from the blade are enough to cut metal.[/spoiler][/spoiler]

Name: Marcos
Gender: Male
Age: [acronym="Oh, you mean physically. 18 or so."]Er... a few hours? Maybe a day or two? You know how Nobodies work.[/acronym]
Alignment: Nobody
Source Material: ----
[spoiler=Appearance]Appearance: Omcraxs is very slick, and of average height. His silverish black hair splits at his forehead, the left half tucked behind his ear while the other one, a bit shorter, barely covers his his right eye. His eyes are of a dull brown colour, but when exposed to bright light they'll seem to reflect a lighter brown, bordering on dark gold. His complexion is Caucasian, untanned but not pale.
His outfit consists of of a simple, red t-shirt, with a single logo on it resembling a toppled over hourglass; a mildly tattered pair of grey jeans held up with a loose black leather belt; and ragged, old red and white sneakers. He carries his incredibly shitty swords katana inside of an elongated bag he carries on his back, inside of which are also a pair of waterproof boots. and some snow goggles. Half-prepared for any weather!
[/spoiler]
[spoiler='Personality]Personality: Omcraxs is quick to jump to conclusions, and is very short-tempered when challenged. When at ease, however; he can prove fairly analytic and is capable of getting a wider picture. He is quick to abscond at the first sight of any real danger, with the exception of Heartless. Upon sighting one, Omcraxs enters a state which one might as well call berserk. No Heartless he comes across will make it out... "alive". (Are Heartless even alive, though?) Shut up. (No, you shut up.) Omcraxs is very ashamed of this side of his. He detests it. He has confidence issues, and would never dare approach anyone who catches him on his Hearless rampages.
Omcraxs is also very attached to his personal belongings, similarly to how his Somebody did.
[/spoiler]
[spoiler="Character History"]Character History: Marcos was a particularly strong-willed, even if of a rather shy nature. He inhabited the Desert of The Ancients, in the world by the name of [acronym=Atlantis]Mythical Metropolis[/acronym]. This world was attacked suddenly by vast armies of Neoshadows. Being overly protective for his belongings, he took too long to put everything together. His loved one, the only person Marcos held close, came back for him just as the Heartless started to overrun their household. After having to witness his fiancé get devoured by Neoshadows, he fought on. With everything he could. He relentlessly beat them with whatever he could find. As he inevitably perished in their hands, being gnawed on while still conscious, his eyes were locked on the single small Shadow Heatless which had been formed out of his loved one. And his rage increased, built up. It turned into wrath. It turned into ire. Then, it turned into silence.
But then, in the silence, as he fell; his own cries of rage echoed in his ears. And he screamed. He screamed into the void. He could not see, nor he could feel.
Then, after what felt like both an eternity, and nothing at all; he could see, and feel again. He could feel all, except a heartbeat.
The young man sat up, confused, oblivious. Around him, were three figures; elongated, floating, pointy arms and legs. They seemed to swing in the air, as if dancing madly, yet calmly... And they pointed him in one direction. And he ran. And as he did, noticed the sack he carried with him. He eventually found himself standing before a castle in ruins.
And so, hours after his birth, he walked in.
[/spoiler][spoiler="Equipment & Abilities"]
-Katana (Sandtrap ): A standard-looking katana, with a handle shaped weirdly. It looks like... an upside-down heart... with a small double-pointed lance across it. The blade can turn into sand, up to the symbol. That sand transforms any mineral material in the surroundings into sand, which can be subsequently manipulated by Omcraxs to bind or suffocate opponents. The amount of sand he can command depends on the material it originated from and how long he has been holding the sword for.
-Sandstorm: Basic sand magic, wind carrying sand obscures vision in a fashion similar to desert storms. Omcraxs is most adept with this Spell.
-Glass blades: Magic by which sand is compressed to the point where it stays together. It then transforms into glass, which is then hurled at the opponent as many small blades. In being so small, they can disappear in the opponent's body, causing further internal damage.[/spoiler][/spoiler][spoiler=Chloé]Created by: Mugendramon
Gender: Female
Age: [acronym=18]A few months[/acronym].
Alignment: None (Nobody)
[spoiler=Appearance:][/spoiler]
Personality: Chloé is uncannily temperamental. She is capable of the most spectacular mood swings, effectively fluctuating from a deep anger to a boiling happiness, into bizarre sorrow. Given her status as a Nobody, her behavior could easily be suppressed; however as she is unaware of said nature, she is very difficult to approach even in conversation. She has a very vague sense of right and wrong, actually placing her own interests above any possible consequences of her actions.
Character History: Chloé's story began where Crystal's ended. Crystal's story ended not too distanced from Marcos's story. In fact, both stories ended in the same room, in cacophonous tandem. Crystal's heart was forcefully separated from her body, but her... unusual  proprieties as a Princess of Heart generated a Nobody by splitting the removed Heart. One half became the Shadow that would scar Omcraxs during his short life as a Nobody. Her fiance then held, for a few moments, her heart both metaphorical and literally. It was only after his body was ripped into two as well that both Nobodies were created.
 
However, as a result of the bizarre process that let to her creation, she bore no memories whatsoever at the time of her rebirth. I mean, err, she suffered of laser-guided amnesia. The girl could talk and breathe, seriously. For days the woman roamed unknown lands, met new people, settled as a new person. Months flew by, and she was by now living as any other human, blissfully unaware of the evils of the outside... And of her true self.
 
Equipment & Abilities: Chloé isn't armed in any way, and is unaware of her powers. However, she is capable of reversing the heart of anyone whose will can be subdued by her. Practically speaking, she can control anyone with a weaker will than her own.[/spoiler][/spoiler]

His new family, a kind couple that lived in a small apartment in New York. As he grew, he was teased by other kids, as per the fact that he was somehow different from the rest of them. Though with these kids teasing him, he found one escape he could always turn to: music. For some reason, music always gave him comfort and allowed him to forget about the world around him. Now eighteen, he tries to compose new music to how he feels, but so far it isn't going well.
But something else is catching Trevor's eye. The last week a few people in the neighborhood have just disappeared for no apparent reason.

Alignment: Resistance
Source Material: The Nightmare Before Christmas (A future aspect)
[spoiler=Appearance:]


The first pic is basically Zack normally, however a bit taller. The second pic is him in combat mode, using the scythe in the first picture.[/spoiler]

[spoiler=Personality:]
At some points, he does seem like his parents: having his father's curiosity and even confidence while still having his mother's caring heart (or lack of) and her sense of wrong and right. However, still as a teen, Zack can become a bit hot-tempered and even uncaring about certain issues, though this is only very seldom as it would only show if someone upsets the young skeleton to the point of no return. And if this side of Zack were to come out, it would only be after he was engaged in his combat form. Either way you look at it, Zack is almost the spitting image of Jack, meaning a very similar personality (after all, skeletons might just all be the same).[/spoiler]

[spoiler=Character History:]
It was bound to happen, the Pumpkin King of Halloween: Jack Skellington met his true love and fell in love with the creation known as Sally. After having his old friends help him stop Oogie for a second time, Jack settled down with Sally and they enjoyed many Halloweens together. One Halloween, however, an addition was added into the family: a son they named Zachery Skellington.
 
Through out the course of young Zack's childhood, he allowed Jack to teach him the things about Halloween Town and especially how to work with being the son of the Pumpkin King. He heard so many stories that Jack told him, especially about when he tried to take Christmas for himself. He even got to meet Mister "Sandy Claws" himself, as Santa had stopped to see how Jack was doing. But through it all, Zack became a prodigy under his father, being almost how Jack was in his younger years. He even decided to become his own skeleton, taking an old scythe that no one ever used before and dubbed himself "The Grim Reaper". His father did get a bit disappointed, but understood his son's reasoning. Though Zack, deep down in his skeleton bones does wish to become the new Pumpkin King.
 
Now as Jack backed out of this "Resistance", to work on this years plan for Halloween, he's asked his son to take his place and help these people out. With a brand new opportunity to represent Halloween Town and his father, Zack Skellington is ready to show that he's ready for anything.[/spoiler]

[spoiler=Equipment & Abilities:]
Weapon:
Scythe of Halloween
The scythe as shown above in the appearance. Unlike his father, he specializes with this weapon and is basically the only one well equipped with this.
 
General Abilities:
Flexibility and Arcobatism
Just as his father is, he has amazing flexibility, allowing him to get into spaces that normal people couldn't. Along with being able to move very well during combat. This combination works well when put together.
 
Pumpkin King's Abilities
He does have the assortment of abilities that Jack does, however he throws his own twist on them, mainly with his weapon choice not being the same as his father's.[/spoiler][/spoiler][/spoiler]
• TheFinalFan: Lightning

[spoiler=Broke. N][spoiler=Haxz]Gender: Male

Age: Nobody Age - 22, Physical Age - 22

Alignment: Nobody

.:Appearance:.
Height: 5"9
Weight: 68 kg
Eye Colour: Brown
Hair Colour: Black
General Appearance: Haxz has short hair that is usually gelled into short spikes. His eyes are usually covered by a pair of sunglasses, as, eyes are the one thing that simply cannot lie. His Organization coat is very trim, with a form fitting waistline and thin sleeves, maybe as a way to indicate tat he isn't lying to his marks. His original attire was a ragged and dusty pinstripe suit, with a white undershirt. His tie was torn, but, most importantly, his black shoes were always well polished, as, they were the only thing he ever won in his old life.

Personality: Haxz is pretty damn smug, usually for the invulnerability to grievous bodily harm that he possesses. Aside from that, he has a hotshot attitude that he uses around marks. When he has found someone to swindle, he changes to a more buddy buddy modus, enticing them with sweet words of easy Munny, before he uses his tricks unimpeded in order to swindle the sucker. To this date, he only loves Munny, and, in his own mind, Munny loves him too. Generally, he also tries to windle the other Nobodies, but, due to not having a heart, greed is no major factor in them. That's why Haxz likes going out to other worlds, more Munny to gain from stupid people.

Character History: Azh used to be a bit of a con artist, however, there was one slight issue: his luck sucked so much that not even his tricks could improve the odds, as there was always some unlucky occurence that revealed them. Sufficed to say that his livlihood wasn't the most profitable. It was even worse, considering that his world was quite strife with greed, that it drew the Heartless like moths to that flickering light in the hallway. He tried running away from the horrible Shadows, but sadly, the damage they caused created debris at every turn, until, he was cornered and his Heart ripped from him. Within the oblivion of the darkness, he almost gave up, almost.

Sick and tired of the s**t fate he had, that he was destined for, he made one single, solemn vow to not let it control him anymore. This vow created a strong enough amount of Willpower that caused Haxz to surface as a humanoid Nobody. Thankfully, or not, he had resurfaced on his world, as it had yet to be taken. As he travelled through the ruined streets of his world, his ridiculous Luck became apparant. The Heartless that tried to go after them found them felled by freak occurences, such as well timed debris and in one case, a fallen tree. Searching the rubbles of shops for supplies, he came across the Deck of Revelation. Not that he understood what it did, but he just took it anyways. Eventually, Kreix found him after he had done some serious looting.

.:Equipment & Abilities:.
Luck - Haxz' element is Luck, which grants him ridiculously high amounts of goood fortune. Any full of attacks made on him will have freak occurences that'll cause them to fail, either by missing, or hitting something else. Non-fatal and very low damage stuff will probably hit him, just not the death stuff. But, maybe there is a way to negate good luck.
Revelation - A deck of attack cards, consisting of 12 cards. 11 of them have dots ranging from 1 to 11, the last one is a gold star, which is most powerful. Haxz attacks by drawing a card and unleashing the number of dots onto the foe, usually pummeling them into oblivion. As for the star, well, it's best not to describe that result.
Levitation - Haxz can levitate himself and his weapon Revelation.
Nobodies - Haxz controls the Deadbeat Nobodies, a sect of perpetually poor Nobodies that act by siphoning Munny out of their targets. They typically start out as very thin and noodle-like white stick figures, dressed in tan coloured rags. In this state they are very flexible and hard to hit, as well as that they can stretch their limbs. Whenever a Deadbeat strikes someone with Munny, the victim lose some of it, which is then swiftly gathered by the Deadbeat (they have like, 10 Treasure Magnets set). When Deadbeats collect Munny, they become a bit more defined in shape, slowly appearing more and more human until they become an exact replica of Haxz himself. Defeating them drops all the Munny they stole however.

Deadbeats are purely physical fighters, and usually hit with their flexible limbs. However, some might find things like pipes, 2x4s and beavers to hit foes with.[/spoiler][spoiler=Cornelius]
Name: Cornelius

Gender: Male

Age: Unknown

Alignment: Resistance

Source Material: Odin Sphere

Appearance:

Personality: Cornelius is a true and good person, to a fault. He is highly idealistic, but way too steadfast in his views. He ends up being pretty naïve because of this, as he has high quantities of courage that would cause him to fight for what he believes is right. Aside from this, he maintains a degree of royal grace, as per befitting his original title as Prince. He does get a bit defensive if you insult him however, or, make a comment about his current 'condition'. Though, it doesn't help that his ears flare, making him a bit more adorable. Aside from that, and his other traits, he is a very passionate ma- Pooka, and is very loving of his supposed true love Velvet, who he worries about post-seperation.
 
As per those of Erion, he tends to speak in old english, making him difficult to fully understand at times.

Character History: Cornelius was once a human, and the Prince of his country Titania. However, a dark plot brewed as he planned to see his beloved Velvet, and as a result, Cornelius was cursed into the form of a Pooka, an anthropomorphic rabbit man. If that hadn’t been bad enough, he had also been cast into the darkest depths of the Netherworld, still alive. He then journeyed forth, and his adventures lead him to fight and triumph over the Queen of the Netherworld Odette, General Brigan of Ragnanival, the furious Dragon King Wagner, the Infant Dragon Leventhan, and the Kind Dragon Belial.

After rekindling his relation with his beloved Velvet, he joined the ranks of the other Pooka in order to help realize their dream of collecting all of Valentines Coins in order to break the Pooka’s Curse. However, after seeking more coins and returning to the village, the portal Cornelius planned to use was corrupted by Heartless that strayed into the world, turning the portal into a Corridor of Darkness. As a result, Cornelius was cast out of Erion, and many of his belongings were scattered to the worlds. As for Cornelius, who knows where he ended up. But, as the cliché goes, he’d probably end up in New York, as, that’s usually where magical portals tend to spit out people.

Equipment & Abilities:
Pooka Agility: To make up for their lack of body strength, Pookas are ridiculously agile. Their natural speed and ability to perform a double jump makes it hard to hit these little bunnies.

Swordsmanship: Cornelius is a capable swordsman, however, due to the Pooka to sword ratio, the Psypher Blade can be a bit unwieldy due to the similarity in size. Cornelius is able to perform powerful strikes with his blade, or, due to his small scale, actually spin with his blade like a buzz saw after double jumping. He is able to guard frontal assaults with it as well.
 
Psypher Blade: Cornelius wields the Psypher Blade of Titania, a powerful crystal sword that cannot dull or be broken. Because a Psypher is made of condensed Phozons, which are the essence of life, similar to Hearts in a degree. Psyphers are able to absorb ambient Phozons in order to power themselves, causing them to become stronger and be able to pull off greater feats of both physical and magical prowess. However, due to the effects of the corrupted portal and the power of because the plot demands it, the Psypher Blade has been drained of all of its Psypher levels, reducing it back to base level.
 
Psypher Spells: Great magic allowed by the Psypher Blade, it gains more magic as it reclaims its levels.
-Psypher Presence: Phozons, which are only native to Erion, do not naturally form elsewhere. However, the presence of the Psypher Blade forces them into existence. Emblem Heartless and Nobodies will release Phozons after defeat, but Purbelood Heartless will not.
-Cyclone: A spell that creates a whirling cyclone that will deal damage to those in its path. It cannot be controlled and will fade shortly after creation.

Immortality: Granted by the Pooka’s Curse, a Pooka will live forever. However, this is by no means a good thing. Though they cannot age, their bodies can still rot if fatally injured. If so, they will eventually end up as tortured ghouls and ghosts, doomed to stalk the Netherworld never able to see the light again, so, dying would be more preferred.[/spoiler][/spoiler]
[spoiler=Kirei Kotomine][spoiler=Viola Makaivair]
Gender: Female
Age: 15 (fun fact: her birthday's coming up really soon.)
Alignment: Apprentice
[spoiler=Appearance:]

[/spoiler]
Personality: On the surface, Viola appears to be a rather bubbly yet nervous sort of girl, easily flustered; just a normal person, right? However, she can also be weird, being unsurprised to the most extraordinary of things, as if she had already expected that game shop to be the portal for magical training or that one person to die. This is because she's somewhat insane nowadays, and the line between fiction and reality in her head has started to blur. Her reactions sometimes can confuse people, and she's prone to abusing or improvising a particular thing once she has it (which her characters tended to do in her stories).
But it isn't as simple as that; her outside personality is a shaky attempt to hide her inner turmoil to the extent that she doesn't expect anyone to live no matter how much she appears to encourage and cheer them on. Within, her will fights alone, refusing to be selfless.
Character History: When Viola was little, she aspired to be a novelist and constantly immersed herself in books, eventually beginning to write her own fanfiction and original stories, ranging from fantasy to science fiction. At the age of eight, she submitted one in an online adventure-story competition and actually won, against much older and talented writers scattered over the world. She herself hasn't had much of a life apart from this, but for some reason she always ends up friends with the strangest people (a playboy with no interest in her, a lesbian coming to terms, a disabled student in a wheelchair, and the list goes on) in her quest to 'gain inspiration'.
A few months ago however, her best friend (who was an orphan) committed suicide in despair via jumping off a mall, which shook Viola's love for stories. That's when she started to notice almost of her friends were suicidal in one way or another, and while most of them may overcome their huge obstacles, others may end up like her best friend...
Trying to cheer herself up and forget about it all, she has since been trying to turn to other things, such as drawing, engineering, mathematics, singing, anime, and videogames, even going to such extreme lengths as to convince her parents to move away from her home city to Manhattan. And one day, she decided to visit some new game shop...
Equipment & Abilities: Viola would specialize in magic, but she would probably improvise, shooting fireballs at her surroundings instead of the enemy itself to gain a bigger advantage. If she had a keyblade, she would also abuse its 'return-to-its-owner's-hand' thing constantly, flinging it anywhere instead of swinging it everywhere. Physically, she's kind of weak.

[spoiler=Delita Heiral]
Name: Delita Heiral
Gender: Male
Age: 18
Alignment: Resistance?
Source Material: Final Fantasy Tactics
[spoiler=Appearance:]

[/spoiler]
Personality: An idealistically honorable man who thinks of himself as a people's hero, Delita holds onto the unfortunate maxim that the ends justify the means. After he saw his sister Tietra get consumed by the Heartless, he vowed to never let himself fall to them, and has gone on a self-driven crusade against them, using whatever means possible. As he continually fights darkness while it eats at his mind and heart, he struggles to keep his sanity together and keep the distinction between 'light' and 'darkness' as clear as possible, while keeping a cool face.
Character History: Delita and his sister Tietra were born to poor farmers, and were adopted by Barbaneth into House Beoulve when the Black Death consumed them. They quickly became friends with his daughter and one of his sons. But in the world of Ivalice around them, the nobility of three kingdoms were tangled webs of plots and schemes locked in an uneasy truce, each just waiting for their chance to break the ceasefire and seize power. Yet many remained unaware of this fact, though suspicions rose.
Eventually, the growing darkness in the hearts of Ivalice attracted a terrible force; black creatures called the Heartless. Instead of everyone rallying together against them, the nobles with particularly dark hearts were able to bend these monstrosities to their will, and soon the three kingdoms turned them against each other, igniting a terrible war unlike any other. Delta and his childhood friend Ramza (a son of Barbaneth) fought for the glory of House Beoulve, winning several victories in the name of the Order of the Northern Sky.
As time went on, one day the Order of the Eastern Sky attacked. Taking many hostages, Tietra included, they holed up in an ancient fortress. Dycedarg - Ramza's elder brother - had his summoners call upon a massive onslaught of heartless, and ordered them to annihilate the enemy. As the fort was engulfed in darkness, hostages and all, Delita dove into the abyss, in search of his sister. Fighting through hordes and legions of Heartless, he was too late to save her from a Neoshadow that consumed her heart.
More and more Heartless began to pile up around him, the fortress being devoured by the void, but he fought against them as much as he could, refusing to succumb to them the way his sister had. Before he could be consumed, he somehow managed to open up a Corridor of Darkness and slipped into it, saving his life.
Awakening somewhere nearby, Delita soon discovered that he too could bend Heartless to his will, and made the decision to change this corrupted world of Ivalice and eradicate the Heartless, which would only be possible if he were king, which meant that he - a commoner - had to somehow ascend to the throne.
Thus, he set himself up as an Order of the Southern Sky knight while also making connections with the North and answering to a mysterious organization, though ultimately remaining loyal to himself alone. Manipulating everyone around him, he has set to attacking the monastery of Orbonne, where Princess Ovelia is currently staying with the intention of kidnapping her.
However, things aren't going to go as smoothly as he hopes them to be.
Equipment & Abilities: Being a Holy Knight wearing golden armor, he fares best in using a sword, though could also use a knife or flail if the situation calls for it. Though he isn't quite capable of magic, he can channel holy energy through his sword to deliver a multitude of different powerful holy attacks. Alternatively, he can sacrifice a portion of his health with Chant to heal someone else. During combat, he focuses on weakening his opponent ala Arts of War.
Bizarrely enough, he has the power to project Corridors of Darkness and create bend Heartless to his will if he focuses hard enough, though using these abilities cause him to become more malicious and less self-controlled, which he is aware of and thus tries to conserve as much as possible.
[/spoiler][/spoiler]
[spoiler=BailasGale]Name: Neryhx
Gender: Male
Age: 64 (Nobody of 2 months though)
Alignment: Nobody
Appearance: Neryhx
Personality: Neryhx is your typical butler or what you want from the perfect butler. He has no aspirations but to serve those who employ. On the upside this means he is immensely loyal to whoever his superior is and there is no task that he will refuse and no task that is beneath him. From cooking, cleaning, babysitting, even animal training. All of these are perfectly reasonable commands if it is new master who is the one who gives the command. On the downside (for others most likely) this means that Neryhx doesn't have a conscious the world is something for his master to use as they see fit meaning if his current master told him to go into the slay younglings Nerhyx wouldn't bat an eye as he slayed them. Striving to be the perfect Butler, Neryhx wants to be the most efficient and close to perfect as possible in everything he does for his master. When he is not in service to another Neryhx seems oddly normal. His mannerisms would just lead one to believe his just another old man humble in his old age. This is simply because he is just waiting for someone he deems worthy enough to serve.
Character History:Neryhx started off as a custom tailor named Henry Headcliff. At the age of 30 he had a small job working for his father in a luxury suit shop and made a modest living sewing custom tailored suits for the upper crust and elite members of society. This was his way he was content with his existence. As time went on he was simply impressed with the resilience of his father. The old fella didn't retire from the suit making business till the rip old age of 86 which happened to be Henry's 64th birthday. It was a grand retirement/birthday party at the shop. Many of the families clients came to celebrate and with everyone surrounded by so much love Henry was experiencing the happiest moment of his life (Next to his children being born of course).

Unfortunately like in most tragedies the happiest moment of ones life can turn into one of the worst. It was at this very festival that the heartless had invaded, living up to their classification. Unsure of what to do he just had everyone evacuate the premise while he would attempt to stave off the beast. His family and all of his wealthy clients were able to escape but needless to say wasn't. Being a regular mortal Henry wasn't able to actually hurt a Heartless. He was consumed buy the impending darkness. His last thoughts as his happy and regular life flashed before his eyes was that he was glad he helped his family escaped slaughter. But it is that last thought that would shape his new creation as Neryhx The need to help and the need to make someone elses life better. He was reborn in the darkness of some random forest and arose as his new self with that one thought of helping. Of course without the emotions or caring that the heart symbolizes Neryhx assumes he has the distinct urge to be employed. So he wonders looking for someone worthy of his talents.
Equipment & Abilities:
Cane Sword: As a human Henry took fencing as a hobby to stay in shape, be agile, and to relieve the stress of dealing with pompous douchebags of clients that he would have to deal with sometimes. That skill transferred to Neryhx and as such is able to summon forth a cane sword or umbrella sword at his command.

The Gentlemen: The previous Organization XIII had minions that were shallow representations of themselves. Neryhx is the same way for he can summon what he refers to as the Gentlemen. They are 6'0 ft silver outlined (like all nobody minions) that are really three dimensional representations of The Son of Man painting except there are not any apples in front of heads there are only floating apples instead of heads. The gentlemen all carry umbrella swords and fence like their creator. The special thing about them is that when they open their umbrellas it creates a barrier that they can act as defense and offense (Picture captain America Shield Press). Harnessing the element of reflect any attack that is launched at the face of their umbrellas will bounce off into random directions. They are representation of the remnants of his last memories being alive. He knows he was surround by a a group of well dressed people and he can somewhat recreate that event.

Ripple Blade: The same barrier defense that the Gentlemen can only make with their umbrellas open Neryhx can do with his sword and any other part of body at will. This is because Nerhyx element is "Reflect" he is touch almost any projectile and send it back in the opposing direction. The most unique method of using his Ripple Blade is that he can carefully time the barrier creation technique to align with his body so can bounce people off of himself which can create interesting pinballish scenario's when coupled with the Gentlemen.[/spoiler]
[spoiler=Revolver Amethyst]Name: Ramza Beoulve
Gender: Male
Age: 18
Alignment: Resistance
Source Material: Final Fantasy Tactics
Appearance:

Personality: Originally Ramza fought to uphold the honor of his family name. However, the realities of politics and the self-serving actions of nobles has left Ramza jaded to such things. Now, Ramza only seeks to protect others from injustice. Ramza is rarely the aggressor in conflicts, and always attempts negotiation before drawing his blade.
Character History: All was peaceful amongst the three kingdoms in the world of Ivalice. Each ruled its subjects relatively fairly, and they managed to coexist in harmony. Or so Ramza Beoulve thought. The dark reality of the matter was that the nobility was a tangled web of plots and schemes, locked in an uneasy truce, each just waiting for their chance to break the ceasefire and sieze power.
The growing darkness in the hearts of Ivalice attracted a terrible force: The Heartless. Those nobles with particularly dark hearts were able to bend these monstrosities to their will, and soon the three kingdoms turned them against eachother, igniting a terrible war. Ramza and his childhood friend Delita (an orphaned commoner, taken in by nobles) fought for the glory of his family, House Beoulve, winning several victories in the name of the Order of the Northern Sky. However, his eldest brother, Dycedarg, seemed to be possessed by a growing aura of malice, one that seemed to worry his brothers more and more as the days went by.
One night, as Ramza and his second brother, Zalbag, wandered the halls discussing strategy, they overheard Dycedarg conversing with an unknown voice about magic and the heartless. As they passed by his door, Ramza caught a glimpse of a mysterious figure, clad head to toe in a robe blacker than the darkest of midnights, a strange stone resting in his outstretched hand.
The next day, the Order of the Eastern Sky attacked. Taking many hostages, they holed up in an ancient fortress. Dycedarg bid his summoners call upon a massive onslaught of heartless, and ordered them to annihilate the enemy. As the fort was engulfed in darkness, hostages and all, Delita dove into the abyss, in search of his sister Tietra (who had been taken captive in the initial assault). Ramza could do nothing to stop him or the heartless. The last Ramza saw of his friends was Tietra's heart devoured by a neoshadow, and Delita, surrounded by legions of heartless as the fortress was devoured by the void.
The entirety of The Order of the Eastern Sky was obliterated that day. As North and South set their sights upon each other, Ramza abandoned his home in the midst of the night. He would have no part in such atrocities. Realizing that a name means nothing if it does not uphold the values it stands for, Ramza (going by his mother's maiden name, Lugria) sought to form his own faction, seeking to fight injustice, and the heartless, wherever he could, and vowing to forever oppose those that would sacrifice others for the sake of their own gain.
The nearby monastery of Orbonne appears to be under assault by the heartless. Ramza and his Resistance refuse to allow the forces of darkness to engulf such a bastion of peace. Though confident in their upcoming victory, uneasiness plagues Ramza's mind. For whispers of an enigmatic youth, clad in golden armor and bearing a strikingly familiar description, have been circulating the countryside...
Equipment & Abilities: Ramza is proficient in combat with the standard array of Ivalician weapons, though he considers himself best with a blade. Having lead a squad of soldiers (mostly knights, mages, and healers), Ramza shines as a leader on the field of battle. Though he learned a slight bit of magic in his time at academy, mostly very basic healing spells, within Ramza lies an untapped potential (NOTE: this will manifest as learning Ultima later in the story, upon surviving said spell at the hands of an Ultima Demon-type Heartless).
[/spoiler]
[spoiler=Kazuto Kirigaya C4]Name: Ryan Jameson
Gender: Male
Age: 18
Alignment: Apprentice
[spoiler=Appearance]
His overall appearance is mainly this, but the overall clothing is slimmed down to fit his body type, which is above average, meaning slightly more muscular than normal. He is also slightly shorter than what’s seen, which makes him around 5’10” at the highest.[/spoiler]
[spoiler=Personality] Ryan usually has this urge of wanting to constantly fight and train in order to make himself stronger. He always wants to test his own limits, but not for his personal gain. He does it to have a purpose in life other than the basics of life. Other than that, Ryan is a normal teen who has many interests in things when mentioned to him. As a result, he has other hobbies besides training which includes story writing, playing music (Singing, playing Guitar and Drums, the works), and other things to do that pass his time every minute of everyday.
Ryan is also the kind of guy to adapt to serious situations in order to retaliate against a threat. Call him the first responder, so to speak, as he looks at the situation and tries to view his options. And if things get too rough, he’ll let someone with a better chance step in and watch how they retaliate. To be put simply, Ryan is a strategist in battle and will learn to change his strategy every battle as he sees new and innovative ways to defeat enemies in ways he can’t imagine and tries to put it all to good use in his future battles.
However, the real reason why he does all this, is to make sure he can save someone’s life for once, unlike what he couldn't be able to do for his parents.[/spoiler]
[spoiler=Character History]Ryan has lived in Manhattan his whole life, and he didn't really have a peak of interest in something until he was 8. He had saw some animated TV shows, all of which involved using weapons in battle and a means to strategize, thus where he gets his need to do so with each battle. And soon enough, he was able to take martial arts classes, and loved it with a true passion. But, after doing it all for about 2 years, it wasn't enough to face what had happened on his 10th birthday.
What Ryan and his mother never knew until Ryan became 10, was that his father had asked for a huge loan from an unknown gang in order to pay for Ryan’s birthday party. He was supposed to pay it back on Ryan's birthday but never got around to it. As a result, during the party, Ryan’s parents were both gunned down, and Ryan was knocked out as a result of trying to fight them off. He was spared, but was left without his parents to comfort him. So, Ryan was left with no choice but to go into foster care, but was given a lot more independence as a result.
From then on, Ryan had been practicing hard and constantly pushing himself beyond his own natural limits day in and day out, and had also gained some of his common interests overtime. And as of now, he’s helped clean up the streets a little bit and has been a decent help with the police, even though he doesn't actually work for them per se Currently, something new has peaked his interest that he didn't delve into previously: Fantasy games. So, he decided to check out a shop that specializes in such a topic, and this is where Ryan’s true story begins...[/spoiler]
Equipment & Abilities:[spoiler=Before Keyblade]Ryan, while appearing to be slow by his musculature, is actually pretty fast on his feet and can adapt at times to certain situations in battle and get the upper hand. He preferably specializes in katanas and other related swords, and will use them if he sees the opportunity to use them to his advantage. He is always the strategist who adapts to every battle he does to test his own limits and become even stronger.[/spoiler][spoiler=After Keyblade]Keyblade: Living Retribution
The hilt of this Keyblade is shaped exactly like the Kingdom Key, but is colored a deep crimson red. The handle and blade is definitely that of a similar look to the Kingdom Key, but the handle and blade are both more flat than circular, considering the fact the blade is a much darker gray with more jagged-like teeth at the end of it. The keychain is that of a Templar pendant that belonged to his grandfather, who had died when Ryan was 16 years old.
[spoiler=Spells]Firaga - Your typical manipulable fire spell. Can be done in two ways: 1. Firing three consecutive extra large homing fireballs at the enemy, or 2. Create a large flaming ring-like shield around him that damages any enemies close by to him.
Thundaga - Your typical thunder spell. Can be done in a single thunder strike or in consecutive thunder strikes that do about a third of the damage for each strike that connects to an enemy.
Reflega - Your typical reflection spell. Can be just used to reflect more than one projectile, or he can use the shield’s plates as a means of damage, by exploding the shield itself.
Curaga - Your typical revitalization spell. Can be used to almost entire heal self, or create a small field in which allies could enter in order to be healed as well. So, fatal injuries become minor ones at best, or are healed to the point in which an ally can continue fighting at its worst.[/spoiler]
[spoiler=Abilities]Sonic Drive - Cloud’s signature technique. The ability allows the user to dash quickly with the Keyblade in a thrusting position through the enemy 5 times, and then makes an effort to do a critical 6th strike to attempt to do some damage.
Quake - It is the self-explanatory ability, but altered to Ryan’s taste. What’s done differently is that the Keyblade is stabbed into the ground, creating two curving crevices going opposite directions until they form a large ring, which causes a mass explosion underneath the enemy’s feet if caught inside it. It is meant to be used against multiple enemies, but Ryan will use it against a single enemy if it is necessary.
Long-Blade Slash - Ryan’s most powerful and personally created attack that is mainly used as a last resort when all else fails. Light Magic is highly concentrated into an extension of the blade on his Keyblade, making the blade itself 3 times overall its original length. He then slashes it downward, which may have two different effects depending on how the attack connects: 1. the enemy is caught in an explosion of highly dense Light Magic when the slash hits the ground, or 2. cause a large wave of the same highly dense light magic that will start moving towards an enemy when the slash also hits the ground. This attack could only be used once per day, as it greatly drains his stamina to the point of exhaustion and would need to rest so he can do it again.[/spoiler][/spoiler][/spoiler]
[spoiler=Yosuke-kun]Name: Shuren
Sex: Male
Age: 16
Allegiance: Apprentices
[spoiler=Appearance:]
Shuren is a lean framed boy about medium height and light weight. Total, he’s about 5”10 even and weighs only 178 lbs. Although thin, he is not totally without muscle. Small but defined muscles reside on his biceps and triceps. In addition, because of his small stature and thin body, his pectoral and abdominal muscles are more defined than they would normally be. To conclude on muscularity, to say that he is buff is a grievous overstatement, but he is not without muscle. His hair is a medium colored brown, not too dark, not too light. It’s thin and wavy, falling to his shoulders in the back, and covering most of his forehead. His eyes are a vivid blue color, kind of resembling the sky. It’s rare that you see Soren frowning or looking upset, but it does happen.
His shirt is thin and tight, with short sleeves. Three white strips go down either sleeve, and up to his collar, and in fact forming his collar. From his collar, a black stripe stretches down to the end of his shirt. The main shirt itself is navy blue. His pants are baggy blue jeans, with large pockets. Said pants are heald up by belts, of which he has many of. His main belt is made of multiple silver loops intertwining between each other. His feet are covered by black skater shoes with a white lining on the bottom. A black silk glove covers his left forearm, but leaves his fingers exposed. His right arm stretched to his elbow is adorned with bandages. His right ring finger has a silver ring on it that’s matched with an ebony ring on his right middle finger.
[/spoiler]
[spoiler=Personallity:]
Shuren is usually happy, as very few things actual manage to anger or upset him, and always has a kind demeanor towards others. He never liked fighting, though he’s skilled and brave, occasionally cocky in some cases, such as when he protects a friend or damsel in distress. Because of his disdain and dislike of fighting, he always tries to convince the opponent, excepting when the opponent is a Heartless or Nobody, that they don’t need to fight. Getting along with new people is a simple task for him, as he relishes and even excites at the opportunity to meet new people, and for the most part he can get along with anyone he meets. His main pet peeve is his inability to tolerate people who fight and kill others for sport or refuse to listen to reason and peace. In addition, he is also rather lazy when it comes to doing anything he lacks motivation for. On the flipside however, he is easily devoted to any task that greatly holds his interest or challenges his beliefs. He doesn’t anger easily, and only becomes really angry when his friends or other people are put in pain by others.
[/spoiler]
[spoiler=Character History:]
Shuren was raised under the poverty line of Manhattan, but still had a decent life. He had two good parents who did their best to give him everything he needed, went to a decent school and had plenty of good friends, and had a normal teenage life. Still, poverty took it's tole on Shuren, and it was around the age of twelve that he began stealing. At first it was out of necessity that he stole extra food from the grocery store, but after a while, it became less and less for a necessity, and more of a thrilling game, in which he only lost when he was caught. During his early days, he was caught quite frequently, and was forced to run through crowds, and in a few cases across buildings. It took a while, but he eventually became incredibly good at picking pockets, looting, and the necessary parkour for when he wasn't so great at the first two.
Shurens life continued in this way til he was fourteen. One day, while at school, he was called out of class and into the principles office. When he arrived, he felt small panic at the sight of two police officers standing by the principle, as he'd lifted no less than fifteen items in that morning alone, but the officers had not come about his thefts. The situation was far worse than Shuren had thought. The officers had in fact recieved a report that their was loud screaming heard at his residence, and that when the cops arrived, his parents were missing, with signs of a struggle all around, but no evidence pointing towards a perp. Shuren soon sunk into a deep depression, as he realized allthe things his parents had done for him that he'd never thanked them for. Oddly enough, this was the end of his theiving run as well. It wasn't long til he'd found himself stealing again though. Not because he was a kleptomaniac, but because he needed the money to make ends meet and feed himself. A few of the people who knew about him, including his teachers and classmates were more lenient to his thefts, since they knew that this was he best chance to survive.
At fifteen, Shuren finally began to open up and realize that his parents would not want him to live his life in such despair after they'd done so much to make him happy in the time that they were with him. This is also around the time that he met Bia, his firstgirlfriend. She and Shuren were very close even before dating, and it was Bia who'd originally asked him out, and gave him his crystaline star pendant, telling him about a tree that bore star shaped fruit with the power to intertwine peoples destinies, and that the pendant she made him was modeled after said fruit. However, a year after being together, Bia told him she'd be returning to her home soon, and that she'd not be able to contact or see him again, but that she'd never forget him. Shuren asked if it was possible for him to go with her, but she replied with tears in her eyes that it wasn't that simple. So rather than allow himself another deprssion, he reminded her of the legend she'd told him, and promised that on day they would meet again.

[spoiler=Equipment and Abilities:]
[spoiler=Prior to Keyblade Aquisition:]
Weapons - Shuren Uses a katana primarily, but has been known to change to a spear or bo staff on occasion. He aslo carries a small supply of shuriken for when his enemies pull ranged combat on him. (He ditches this after he gets his keyblade. Also, he stole them .3.)
Other Equipment - Aside from his weaponry, Shuren carries a number of other useful equipment. First and foremost being his first aid supplies, including all the essentials, such as disinfectant, bandages, ointments, and even emergency stitches (though as he's never done med school, he's no clue how to use the stitches). Also has a small crystaline star necklace, with no other remarkable traits, apart from that it was given to him by an old friend. A backpack carries harnesses, ropes, and a small portable stove, for when they need to cook in the wild. Finally, he straps a medium sized cantine and some iodine for purifying water when his cantine has run dry. (all of this was stolen)
Steal - Over many years of picking pockets, Shuren has become a good enough theif to be able to snatch objects from targets even when battling. While this is not always an effective combat skill, it proves valuable to staying well supplied and retrieving important items from enemies.
Acrobat - After being caught stealing a great many times, Shuren has devoloped strong acrobatic skills which are useful for both escaping from and chasing down enemies, as well as reaching area's other people might not be able to reach.
[/spoiler]
[spoiler=Post Keyblade Aquisition]
Crossed Heart (keyblade) - Crossed Heart is a Keyblade of fairly simple, yet elegant design. While the blade is long and 2 inches wide, the teeth are rather thick and contain most of the blades weight. As for the appearance, it’s hilt is woven of a thick wire heart colored golden with a generic keychain at the point of the heart. The generic keychain is simply a silver cross emblem that puts the blade into this for. The color scheme is simple white main, with flecks and trims of gold and blue on the tips of the teeth. The teeth are merely a series of rectangular blades connected in the middle by metal wiring.
[spoiler=Spells:]
Curaga - Summons all the users remaining mana to greatly heal either himself or an ally. Although this doesn't remove all injuries, it's enough to change a fatal injury to a minor one. After use though, the user cannot cast any other spells until his mana recharges. Depending on the amount of mana they have, this can take 30 seconds to 5 minutes (Shuren takes 2-3 minutes)
Thundaga – Strikes a single enemy with a powerful lightning bolt. Though it only initially strikes a single enemy, upon striking, the electricity arcs up and strikes a few enemies around the initial target dealing one quarter less damage to any struck by the splash.
Haste – Upon use, the user or target greatly increases their attack speed and movement speed. The effects are only temporary. The length of the effect lasts only thirty minutes, and lessens each time the enchanted takes damage. Users and targets feel a strange feeling of weightlessness. As if gravity ceased to exist around them
Salvation – Soren focus’s his light power into his keyblade, as much as possible. When the energy charged reaches a maximum, he releases it in the form of overwhelmingly powerful pillars of light, shooting towards the sky around Soren in a brilliant vision of grace. It takes a minute for Soren to charge the attack, but it deals very heavy damage, obliterating weaker or lesser Heartless and , while simultaneously healing the user of a majority of their wounds. However, he cannot use this attack frequently in a single battle, as it drains the majority of his mana.[/spoiler]
Strike Blade - Shuren lunges at an enemy and slashes their front, either chest or gut, then quick as lighting, leaps to another enemy and repeats. This leap and strike movement is very fast, and very difficult to predict. He can strike anywhere from 5-7 times, and performs a small knockback on strike, making it possible to hit the same target twice. When used against a single enemy, Shuren slides around the enemy, striking both front and back a total of 6 times. 3 front, 3 back. Only the finisher performs the knockback.[/spoiler][/spoiler][/spoiler]

Age: 30
Alignment: Resistance
Source Material: Dissidia, Final Fantasy II
Appearance: http://images3.wikia...idia_Mateus.png
Personality: The Emperor is a schemer and manipulator, viewing everyone as beneath him and tools for him to use. He has no trouble admitting it either, using his untrustworthyness to further decieve people, making them underestimate his ability to fool others. He never losses his temper so convinced is he in his inevitable victory that any victory against him is only viewed as a temporary setback. Despite his powers, he is more interested in defeating people via proxy then facing them himself, as such he is willing to manipulate others into fighting eachother or working for his side.
Character History: The Emperor was the ruler of Palamecia until he learned about the existence of other worlds, seeing a oppurtunity, he used the heartless to engulf his world in darkness, using his former kingdom as shock troops in his conquest of the world. Each world has it's own heros however, and domination proved difficult. Seeing little point in wasting resources, The Emporor withdrew his troops and went to personally take care of them, using their fears and motivations the Emperor weakend his foes or made them change their alignments, resulting in easy conquest for him. Currently he set his eyes on the Prime Merlinian, he is aware his fall is imminent, one cant wield darkness so closely as he without losing his heart after a bit. While he has no concern about turning into a heartless and nobody, it also being part of his plans for power, he would need a heir and Viola will do lovely.
Equipment & Abilities: An expert magic wielder, the Emperor is easily capable of enchantments and illusions, turning simple sticks into capable weapons. Using this enchantment magic, he can set traps, turning parts of the floor into mines and the like. As expected he can also use corridors of darkness. Finally the Emperor is incredibly skilled at controlling and using heartles, it is impossible to use them against him as he will easily usurp control.[/spoiler][spoiler=Laxc]
Gender: Male?
Age: 18
Alignment: "Nobody
Source: Pinocchio
 Appearance: Laxc covers his face with bandages, these bandages are engraved in ancient script that was convereted to Wingding lest their secrets be known to the world. Laxc is tall and thin, having more in common with the dead then he does with a standard person. Laxc is notable for constantly carrying around the incredibly lifelikce puppet Strider, Strider has blonde hair and sunglasses, naturally both wear the cloaks.
Personality: Laxc is very quiet, having never spoken a word by himself since his death, however Strider is consistently talking and tends to be a bit of a smartass, Strider does not acknowledge the existence of Laxc often and when asked he seems to find it no big deal as ‘sure it’s a bit creepy but hey it’s a neat puppet’. It can be gathered that Laxc refuses to acknowledge his own existence as a person, and rather seems hellbent to somehow switch places with Strider. Ironically his puppetry is so realistic no one is entirely sure he DIDN’T especially due to the nature of his powers. Laxc is a habitual smoker, or rather Strider is, apperantly substituting a lack of emotion with the mind altering effects that drugs can provide. None of this works however cause Strider is a puppet…probably. Laxc is a skilled craftsman and makes a puppet of everyone he kills. He has a habit of leaving this around (or maybe it’s intentional no one can tell) which has caused more then one bit of psychological trauma, especially when Jumpsuit found a exact replica of what used to be his head in the toilet. Beyond that Laxc rarely does anything independent, usually having Strider do it, or strider puppetering him to do it in a bizarre proxy, however Laxc is a fan of psychedelic rock and plays a sitar on occasion, apperantly having found Demyx’s old room. However this is usually when the second hand fumes from Strider’s substances caused him to forget his charade. (Or strider thought Laxc was alive and had him play sitar, they are extremely powerful drugs).
Character History: Cal was descended from the famous Pinoccio, as a boy he developed an obsession with his ancestor Gepetto, a man who could breath life into objects. Cal attempted to recreate taht faithful day but in his obsession he missed a few facts, Cal was unaware that it was his love not skill that caused the Blue Fairy to breath life into his puppet, nor did he even know the Blue Fairy exists at all. Rather he assumed Gepetto's craft was pure skill and as such poured his growing madness into his puppets, making them incredibly lifelike, or beautiful in some way, however no matter their appearance they all unnerved his customers, even the most dauntless could feel the pure insanity that infected the wood they were carved from and Laxc found himself growing broke. Unwilling to simply let it die Cal began experimenting with hallucinogens trying to expand his mind to perfect his skill, this caused his puppets to become surreal picassian pieces of art who's disturbing qualities made them incredibly appealing as artwork and soon he found great business within the horror industry, but it was not enough.  While cautioned against such insanity from his manager and only true friend a man named Dave Strider he delved deeper into the world of darkness, expermineting with black magics as well as drugs, a combination  that immediatly strikes every sane man as a terrible terrible idea. Cal was not like other nobodies in that he never got killed by the heartless, rather his insanity brought him over the edge of darkness after learning that his friend Strider was consumed by a Behemoth.
 
Or perhaps Strider himself simply took Cal's name as penance for failing to save him from such madness it would be really helpful if they actually TALKED. However on the assumption Laxc is the real one he awoke to find that he has no emotions to properly celebrate his ultimate success. As such, he took to puppetry, figuring it was not really THAT different from what the other nobodies are doing. 
Equipment & Abilities: Laxc's element is life, he can bring objects to life, (which usually has a poltergeist effect) as well as consort with the dead (Which in hindsight makes his puppets really creepy) and can manipulate his own living tissue... if it's living and not a puppet. His weapon of choice is the puppet Strider, or the puppet laxc Either way they are expert pugilists which allows them to perform a variety of tag team martial arts along with whatever junk was lying around. He's not impossible to fend off if it wasnt for the fact that people tend to end up screaming in pure horror within a few minutes of facing him, he is a VERY disconcerting fight with his life fiddling.
 
Also of note is that Life element seems to have given laxc a bit of immortallity, he can't die until he sees fit to do so. even taking to leaving pieces of himself lying around to see if it works. However given his obssesion with Strider if you break the puppet you break him.... that is, if laxc isnt just a puppet and not immortal at all to begin with.
 
They lead the PuPu nobodies (Technically they are called Puppeteers but it was a group consensus that there was enough fucking puppets and they did not want to encourge laxc any more) Pupu's are around 6 inches tall, kinda look like blue hoodie plushies, and pilot 6 foot mechanical automotons. The Pupu can repair their own machines or summon more which makes them difficult to take down but their respawn models are weaker the the orginal one. In addition PuPus are notoriously addicted to Elixers and have great technical knowledge, they however tend to be very spastic and not good at much nontech things.[/spoiler][/spoiler]
[spoiler=Eros Thanatos]Name:  Jenova Project I; Sephiroth Copy
Gender:  Male
Age:  Unknown exact age.  Estimated to be 25 years old.
Alignment: Resistance
Source Material: Final Fantasy
Appearance: In all appearances, wears a long black coat with silver pauldrons, black boots and black clothing. The top of his clothing is open to reveal his chest, with his leather SOLDIER suspenders crossed over it. His hair is long and silver with his bangs parted to either side of his face.
Personality: Much like his predecessor, the Jenova clone has a personality  of cold ruthlessness.  Despite this, he is intelligent and respectful to those he deems worthy.  Jenova maintains an outwardly professional demeanor, but remains loyal to a select few.  Because this Jenova project was taken after Sephiroth's mental destruction, he also brings about a murderous and vengeful behavior.
Character History:  Few test subjects survived the Jenova project.  This Jenova Clone, being the first, was an overall success; the now former Clayton J. Reese is but a fragment of his former self.  He is now simply Sephiroth.  Taking after his original,  he maintains the memories of Sephiroth's own, but fights his own memories in return.  Before being taken for the Jenova Project, Clayton was a leading scientist in practical medicine.  Searching for a cure for his daughter's Down Syndrome, he was taken suddenly from his home during the midnight hour.  After he was transformed, he maintained a stable structure as Sephiroth for approximately ten years.  Though his form is continuously stable, his mind is not.  Because of his constant battles with his own  memories against Sephiroth's own, he sometimes finds himself in writhing pain, unable to move or reacct until the battle has subsided.  Over the course of his last three years, Sephiroth's memories have won over 80% of the mental battles.
Equipment & Abilities: Sephiroth is a master swordsman, wielding the Masamune as his sole weapon in all appearances, and has superhuman strength, endurance, speed, agility and reflexes. He is able to produce beams of energy by swinging the Masamune, can effortlessly cut through solid metal and concrete, and can swing the sword faster than the eye can see, striking opponents multiple times in only a few seconds.   He is able to use a large amount of magic, though it is limited to major elements, including ice, fire, wind, and lightning magics.[/spoiler]
[spoiler=Frybread002]Name: Xyu Gaso
Gender: Male
Age: Human – 17 / Nobody - 2
Alignment: Nobody
Source Material: Strictly, this was a character from a manga I’m currently putting on hold.

Appearance: Being a meager 5’8”, Yasu Go was actually born of average height on his home world, but when compared to the other people that began walking into his village, he’d realized he was short for his own age. Determined to overcome this inborn difference, Yasu was constantly training to become stronger; as the people who were coming into his village were becoming…’problematic.’ This led to his quite chiseled features and his handsome looks.
Due to his people keeping their hair culturally long, Yasu constantly keeps his hair in a unique pony tail that only goes down to his shoulders.
 
 
At an early age, he began to disregard his people’s own customs and began adopting a new cultural identity. Making him keeping up with the latest fashion trends with the modern world; currently he is wearing black sweat pants, with matching black macosains, black under-armor, with a hoodie-vest that can zip up.
 
[spoiler=Xyu Gaso]

[/spoiler]
 
Personality: Unlike Omcraxs’ analytical mind, Lexamus’ calm and deterrent persona, Xelo’s cold personality, or Haxz’s smug-hotshot attitude, Xyu in reality is none of these. Speaking from words of wisdom and experience, Xyu is a hard-working individual whose strength of will can never be broken in search of what remains of his family.
 
 
Despite being small in comparison to every other person, if Xyu is to fight larger opponents, he
would say “Give me your best shot.”
 
 
While he was 17 years old upon his death, Xyu’s corruptive world of war gave him the confidence of being sure of his actions.
 
 
His only weakness, is his strength of will can easily be perverse to betray allies, destroy entire nations, or sacrifice thousands to save one.

In short, he is a hard-worker who’s willing to overcome the torments if it means he can once again find his one true happiness.

Character History
“As kid, I remember being raised in a small desert village that was located on some cliffs overlooking a canyon. It was a peaceful time when my people didn’t have to worry about anything; the harvest was bountiful, successful trading became the average life and most of all, I was happy. However, That all changed when my village attacked during a severe winter storm. I was only 7 years old when I witnessed my mother killed right in front of me. That night, when the village was mourning, only the cries of the children could be heard…and I was the loudest that night.”
Those were the exact words of Yasu Go when he was still a human. From what he could piece together from his memory, he was world was engulfed in constant wars and it was like violence was the only thing he could understand. This made it common for families to still be in their mid-to-late teens and was no exception. With a loving family behind him, he suffers from a metal prosthetic left leg.
 
 
As kid growing in a world that was continually ravaged by wars or other forms of violence, Yasu Go was determined to make sure that his small size or the origin of his identity was to be mocked; which is a fancy way of saying that he was bullied a lot. Answering with violence first, Yasu found himself within a pirate gang that became something that no one would have ever expected; a loving family. It was through them that Yasu realized how cruel the world could and established a violent nature on his own. Killing in private or public view became the normal life, until he finally found the man who killed his mother.
 
“I will avenge you mother!”
Yasu shouted towards the lone night sky.
 
 
When he turned 13, he followed the man to a tournament that was a fight to the death. In a cruel turn of events, Yasu barely got out of the alive and had lost his leg in the process.
 
While recuperating in the hospital, his pirate family came to visit him one day and explained to him that they were kicking him out of the gang; in their personal beliefs, a child should have never have to experience revenge or murders at his age. While in protest at first, Yasu was ultimately encouraged to join the military and make a better life for himself.
 
 
Although it was hard at first, Yasu learned valuable lessons and soon found a young woman named Yumi-Hime Kazama.  For the first time in his life, Yasu felt something he could die protecting and eventually married her, which in turn made Yasu begin to take his military career seriously. Becoming an modern day hero, Yasu was more inclined to take more dangerous missions to help pay for future expenses that his new family may encounter – albeit protest from his wife worries as she was now carrying his unborn child.
 
 
It was only a matter time before Yasu knew that he could actually die in combat and began preparing future plans to support his wife and coming child. However, before he could actually start planing anything, his encampment came under enemy siege that caught the entire platoon by surprise. With hardly any survivors, one report came from a soldier saying that Yasu charged head first into the enemy alone; when he was asked by the solder for the reason of his suicide charge, Yasu was quoted on saying “I can’t let die yet. After all, I’m a father now.”
 
 
While his body accepted death, the heart of the unconditional love of a husband and soon-to-be father forced him to keep death’s grip away.
 
 
When his world was invaded by the Heartless in force, the armies of the whole world could not stop this threat as they have been fighting each other for too long and exhausted themselves.
 
Two years later, Yasu’s world was finally destroyed and became a feast for the Heartless; Despite being dead for two years, Yasu’s body was no exception to the darkness and his previous life of murdering and revenge was still deep enough to taint his heart, that it followed him into death - allowing the Heartless to effectively rob him of his heart.
 
 
Awaking from what felt like a deep sleep, Yasu was only confused; His body was dead two years had already accepted a warrior’s death, while the heart of a loving husband and father took what was left of its strength and told the body to come back and protect its family.

Equipment & Abilities: Having to spend time in actual military combat, Xyu Gaso makes up for his lack of strength, speed, and tactics with a sound mind and body. It doesn’t matter who the enemy is, as long he can keep the enemy within the range of his arms and legs, he plans well in advance to make the winds of change are in his favor.
 
 
-Flying Dragons: In his close range arsenal, he packs a beautifully set of twin knives that can cut swaths of wind currents toward his target, mincing them to pieces. With an already injured leg, Xyu's prosthetic limb serves nothing more than a hinderence waiting to be exploited. His only hope in defeating a foe is to keep them in a hellish close-quarter nightmare - a distance so close, that anything beyond an arms reach of a weapon, is completely useless. 
 
 
 
-After years of intense training on his own home-world, Xyu is able to dematerialize his entire body into the wind and quickly close the distance to the distance to his opponent (as seen in his appearance).
 
 
Back on his homeworld, he was always fascinated with birds and their ability to fly. With hopes that he may one day join them in the air, it is no doubt that Xyu takes command of the RAGING RAVENS Nobodies; a group of Nobodies that resembles ravens and help transport the other Nobody members should a Corridor of Darkness not be available. It should be noted that Xyu takes full advantages of this fact and rides them into battle as his personal steeds.[/spoiler]

[b]Alignment:[/b] Nobody

[b]Source Material:[/b] ----

[spoiler='Appearance'][b]Appearance:[/b] Omcraxs is very slick, and of average height. His silverish black hair splits at his forehead, the left half tucked behind his ear while the other one, a bit shorter, barely covers his his right eye. His eyes are of a dull brown colour, but when exposed to bright light they'll seem to reflect a lighter brown, bordering on dark gold. His complexion is Caucasian, untanned but not pale.

His outfit consists of of a simple, red t-shirt, with a single logo on it resembling a toppled over hourglass; a mildly tattered pair of grey jeans held up with a loose black leather belt; and ragged, old red and white sneakers. He carries his [s]incredibly shitty swords[/s] katana inside of an elongated bag he carries on his back, inside of which are also a pair of waterproof boots. and some snow goggles. Half-prepared for any weather!
[/spoiler]

[spoiler='Personality][b]Personality:[/b] Omcraxs is quick to jump to conclusions, and is very short-tempered when challenged. When at ease, however; he can prove fairly analytic and is capable of getting a wider picture. He is quick to abscond at the first sight of any real danger, with the exception of Heartless. Upon sighting one, Omcraxs enters a state which one might as well call berserk. No Heartless he comes across will make it out... "alive". [s](Are Heartless even alive, though?) Shut up. (No, you shut up.)[/s] Omcraxs is very ashamed of this side of his. He detests it. He has confidence issues, and would never dare approach anyone who catches him on his Hearless rampages.

Omcraxs is also very attached to his personal belongings, similarly to how his Somebody did.
[/spoiler]

[spoiler='Character History'][b]Character History:[/b] Marcos was a particularly strong-willed, even if of a rather shy nature. He inhabited the Desert of The Ancients, in the world by the name of [acronym='Atlantis']Mythical Metropolis[/acronym]. This world was attacked suddenly by vast armies of Neoshadows. Being overly protective for his belongings, he took too long to put everything together. His loved one, the only person Marcos held close, came back for him just as the Heartless started to overrun their household. After having to witness his fiancé get devoured by Neoshadows, he fought on. With everything he could. He relentlessly beat them with whatever he could find. As he inevitably perished in their hands, being gnawed on while still conscious, his eyes were locked on the two small Shadow Heatless which had been formed out of his loved one. And his rage increased, built up. It turned into wrath. It turned into ire. Then, it turned into silence.

But then, in the silence, as he fell; his own cries of rage echoed in his ears. And he screamed. He screamed into the void. He could not see, nor he could feel.

Then, after what felt like both an eternity, and nothing at all; he could see, and feel again. He could feel all, except a heartbeat.

The young man sat up, confused, oblivious. Around him, were three figures; elongated, floating, pointy arms and legs. They seemed to swing in the air, as if dancing madly, yet calmly... And they pointed him in one direction. And he ran. And as he did, noticed the sack he carried with him. He eventually found himself standing before a castle in ruins.

And so, hours after his birth, he walked in.

[spoiler='Equipment & Abilities']
[b]-Katana[/b] ([i]Sandtrap[/i] ): A standard-looking katana, with a handle shaped weirdly. It looks like... an upside-down heart... with a small double-pointed lance across it. The blade can turn into sand, up to the symbol. That sand transforms any mineral material in the surroundings into sand, which can be subsequently manipulated by Omcraxs to bind or suffocate opponents. The amount of sand he can command depends on the material it originated from and how long he has been holding the sword for.

[b]-Sandstorm:[/b] Basic sand magic, wind carrying sand obscures vision in a fashion similar to desert storms. Omcraxs is most adept with this Spell.

[b]-Glass blades:[/b] Magic by which sand is compressed to the point where it stays together. It then transforms into glass, which is then hurled at the opponent as many small blades. In being so small, they can disappear in the opponent's body, causing further internal damage.[/spoiler][/spoiler]

A KH RP. Nice. I'll be reserving. Definitely a Nobody app; probably of the Space Element. Maybe an Apprentice app, if I have time to create it(Probably with Keyblade, though I dont necessarily need one. I've never had too much of an attachment).
I'm pretty sure KH rps have a knack for being successful, and there's at least one finished one, so let's hope the streak carries on.

The way I see it, apprentices can be like Sora or Donald, although certainly without the high probability of doing like the latter.

KH definitely is a good series to go off. X'D

And I do draw slight inspiration from Xigbar, but I always thought that, for the controller of Space, Xigbar's power was slightly weak. I always viewed Space and Time as the strongest powers, but Xigbar never used space that well; he Teleported and that was pretty much it.
I've got a good idea of what I'm doing; I did a similar thing in another RP (though my character in that was quite over-powered). But the power set will be similar, but nerfed.

@Roxas: OK that's cool ^^ 1 reserve then!
So I have a question with the abilities. With an apprentice, what would you suggest we start out with?
[/quote]

In-story, you will start off with nothing. As far as your character is concerned, they're just another ordinary human being. When you submit an application for an apprentice, you say what abilities your character with develop over the course of the story.

I have a fealin' everything's gonna be reserved before I even get finished reading the OoC. xD

Accidental double post because I'm an idiot and the page didn't refresh.

[Super Chaos Sonic]

Hmmm, so for example, I put that he'll later have

-Fire
-Lightning
-Dodge Roll

That would be sufficient? I ask only cause this is one of the first RPs I've been in that stuff isn't given to you LOL

If you want to explore how Xigbar's use of the ability was underplayed, then that would certainly help you stand out from him.

Dodge Roll doesn't need to be specified, although if you want to make it so your character is very agile, then I would count that. The magic doesn't exactly have to be like it was in The Sorcerer's Apprentice, since that's the film apprentices will be set in, so the way I see it, this roleplay will play with the magic in that film just as the first Kingdom Hearts game did with The Sword in the Stone.

[b]Name:[/b] Lightning
[b]Gender:[/b] Female
[b]Age:[/b]
[b]Alignment:[/b] Resistance
[b]Source Material:[/b] Final Fantasy XIII
[b]Appearance:[/b]
[spoiler=Image]
[img]http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20101218233442/finalfantasy/images/thumb/5/53/Lightning_%28Dissidia_012%29.png/200px-Lightning_%28Dissidia_012%29.png[/img]
[/spoiler]
[b]Personality:[/b] Lightning is determined, concentrated and independent. However, she is cold and standoffish, often distancing herself from her companions. Much of her motivation is fueled from what she perceives as failing to protect Serah and wanting to make things right, which leads her to lash out at those she believes are responsible for her problems. Lightning's main solution to things that annoy or upset her is to distance herself from them, emotionally and physically.
[b]Character History:[/b] Lightning grew up with her sister Serah on Cocoon, a floating world orbiting a massive world of natural beauty called Gran Pulse. There, Lightning served as a member of the Guardian Corps, the peacekeepers of the artificial world, while her sister Serah fell in love with a ruggedly handsome renegade and his band of merry men, much to Lightning's chagrin. All seemed nearly perfect, until the Heartless attacked and overran the floating city, taking the hearts of many. Lightning was cast out of the world, ending up in the Detritus, a floating scrapheap made from the remnants of darkened worlds. Though she doesn't really care for the Resistance, she prefers to act on her own, and keeps looking for her sister Serah, whom she believes to still be alive.
[b]Equipment & Abilities:[/b] Lightning's primary weapon is her Blazefire Sabre, a strange device that can extend out into a sharp and powerful sword, or retract and fold up into a rapid-fire machine pistol. She also possesses the Grav-Con Device, which can create various types of gravity fields to give her additional mobility, as well as immobilize her foes. Lightning is a skilled warrior, excelling at both close and ranged combat, and uses her speed, sharp reflexes, and strength to her advantage, making her a formidable foe, or an excellent ally.

I had intended for the Resistance not to be a group of people, but a way to give a single name to the rough equivalents of the guest party members in each world. However, I liked how you effectively made something between Traverse Town and End of the World. Accepted.

Added a new rule regarding worlds.

[Premier Alexander Romanov]

PR, I don't really think "Resistance" is a good category for the guest characters.
Some, like Lightning, wouldn't exactly work.
And there were plenty of guest characters who were evil, like Sephiroth.

[Phantom Roxas]

They're defending against Kreix and Nobodies attacking their worlds, so I figured "Resistance" summed that up perfectly.

Here's my app. Though my abilities list isn't real great...cause I couldn't think of anything. So if I need to fix something, let me know.

[b]Name:[/b] Trevor Masters

The arm sleeves with the appearance above are just normal black and yellow wristbands. And his fingernails are not painted.
[/spoiler]

[spoiler=Personality:]
Trevor is a kind hearted teen, who has a soft spot for music, which is the reason he has headphones always around his neck. A strong resolve and a determination to get certain tasks done is basically what Trevor has going for him, making him a very reliable and trustworthy person. Unless provoked, Trevor is a friendly and compassionate guy who takes care of his friends as if they were a part of his family. However, when provoked by either belittling him, his skills, or his friends...he can become hard headed and be ready to attack those who belittled him or who are in his way.[/spoiler]

[spoiler=Character History:]
Trevor doesn't remember much about his family, as he was abandoned as an infant by his maternal family, for what reason Trevor has yet to figure it out. His new family, a kind couple that lived in a small apartment in New York. As he grew, he was teased by other kids, as per the fact that he was somehow different from the rest of them. Though with these kids teasing him, he found one escape he could always turn to: music. For some reason, music always gave him comfort and allowed him to forget about the world around him. Now eighteen, he tries to compose new music to how he feels, but so far it isn't going well.

But something else is catching Trevor's eye. The last week a few people in the neighborhood have just disappeared for no apparent reason. A strange mystery indeed, but he's too busy to try and find out information...mainly with a new game store recently opening. Trevor was a bit hesitant about visiting, but he's heard from friends that its pretty good. So naturally, curiosity has gotten the better of him. And besides, what could happen by just going into a game shop, not like Trevor's life wouldn't change....right?[/spoiler]

Name: Xelo
Gender: Male
Age: Human age: 20 Nobody age: 20
Alignment: Nobody
[Spoiler=Appearance] [img]http://i49.tinypic.com/mw9u0w.png[/img][/spoiler]
Personality: Xelo is usually silent, he speaks few words but he keeps to himself a lot. His behavior is somewhat cold and emotionless. Though he acts as if he cares about nothing he desperately wants to know about his past. He’s calm, never losing composure in even the direst of situations, very mysterious, stoical, highly perceptive, cunning, and an analytical person.
Character History: Xelo formally known as Leo use to dream about being a great warrior as a kid. He use to practice fighting, hitting sticks with trash cans pretending they were “bad guys”. As you grew older he started to enter Struggle tournaments even though he wasn’t very good a first as he aged he grew stronger placing in either fourth or third place. Originally this made his mother proud but in his step-fathers eyes he was always a disappointment and treated his mother horribly. Draven never knew his real father but was always told great things.
A few years later Leo actually placed first place in the struggle tournament and was offered to go to the championship. That night he ran as fast as he could to tell his mother. On his way home he saw yellow eyes in the shadows but he thought it was just a figment of his imagination so he ignored it. He walked in his mother’s house and saw small dark creatures in the house. In the corner he saw his step-father using his mother a human shield. This filled him with anger, running to save his mother the man pushed her towards the small creatures to protect himself. Leo jumped on his mother to protect her from their attacks; they started covering his body as everything started to turn black. He looked up at his step-father about to jump out the window, probably not thing twice to save them, and screamed “I hope you burn!” Then everything turned completely dark.
He felt himself floating in the darkness, his emotions started to deplete from his body. While floating in darkness he saw three blurred white letters rearrange themselves, the letters soon became four as they cleared up to make out “Xelo”. He soon found himself waking up, his mother gone and the creatures that attacked him. He wanted to cry; knowing his mother was probably dead, but he felt empty and cold as if someone had took his soul. He put his hands on his chest and waited for a heartbeat but nothing happened.
Equipment & Abilities:
[Spoiler=Weapon] [img]http://i50.tinypic.com/ogyphl.jpg[/img] A double sided scythe that can be split apart for dual-wielding. [/spoiler]
[Spoiler=abilities]
Though he is strong, possess great reflexes and agility, none of his skills match his speed. He's quite skilled with his weapon also wielding it as a double-sided scythe but it can be split apart for dual-wielding, when he does this he holds them in a reverse grip. He’s also able to manipulate fire.
Hellfire- Xelo causes an area to be surrounded by a circle of fire. While in that circle fire shoots out of the ground randomly.
Flamestrike- This technique fires particularly strong and destructive fiery blasts. The fire flows out of the blade and fires in the arc of the sword's swing.

Okay, I'm pretty confused right now about several things but I'll just ask this one for now: There is a rule that states "You cannot play as existing characters from source material, but they may be set in the same world." but TheFinalFan is playing as Lightning from Final Fantasy. Was this a preconveived thing or am I just misunderstanding something?

[Phantom Roxas]

A later rule establishes that this doesn't apply to Square Enix games the same way it does to Disney canon. Basically, it's too prevent someone from using someone like Jack Skellington but giving them the freedom to play as an alternate version of Balthier.

Kidd Buu gets the second Nobody reserve. That leaves two more Nobodies.

Chaos Sonic, I'll accept that, although I'm just to list your ability as Agility. I think your ability is fine, and I'll see if I can develop the story to the point where everyone's abilities help them succeed.

[The Warden]

I'll places dibs on a Nobody too

That's actually was what I was trying to say, just didn't have the right word ^^;

And sounds good with that ^^

[Premier Alexander Romanov]

Hah. We've got a Space-controlling Nobody and a really fast guy, while my character can control gravity.

[Super Chaos Sonic]

Well it'll make the RP a bit more exciting, wouldn't you say TFF XD
