Accepted Canon Characters

My name is: My name’s Rinoa Heartily, but Rinoa’s fine! I’m not gonna be pushy with formalities!
I'm not that old: I’m 26 years old… but is that really important for you to know?
I fight with: I wield a gunblade known as the vanishing star, and a blaster edge attached to my arm known as the silenced tear. A gunblade is a sword, so it’s pretty straightforward what I do with it, I’d think; the difference is it has a trigger, so I can send a shock wave through my slashes. The blaster edge is like a pinwheel you fire into the air… except with blades… It sounds scary, but I wouldn’t use my weapons without good reason. –smile-

I’m… also a sorceress. Which as you can imagine, is a very powerful brand of magic user… After all I’ve been through, I can’t say I’m proud of it, but the potential is there if I need it… I can use a variety of different spells, and if I bring out my wings, my magic is increased- at the price of severe exhaustion.

I also have my dog- Angelo is his name! He’s the sweetest pup you’ll ever meet! I can call him, no matter where he is, with my whistle- though I usually refrain from doing so because I want him to stay safe…
I fight for: I have no preference. I think that dark is just as important as light, so why side with either?
You don't really need to know, but: Hmmm… Don’t you know it’s rude to ask a lady about her past?

Well, I assume you don’t know anything about my world, so I’ll start with that. My world has very powerful magic users called sorceresses, most aren’t evil, but one or two in history have been, and with their powers caused catastrophic damage. For this reason, anyone who’s a sorceress is considered evil, and thus the majority of us hide from the public eye.

There are many complicated things to being a big bad sorceress, as you can guess, but I’ll just give you the details you need to know. A sorceress cannot die, they will feel the endless excruciating pain of death until they give up their powers, but they will not die so long as those powers remain inside them. Powers can move on without he sorceress’s consent in this case, but they will find a new host and not disappear with death… Thus, to kill a sorceress, another sorceress must be created… Pretty morbid, huh? There’s a lot of history on it in my world… But I guess that wouldn’t interest you.

On my world, there was a very powerful sorceress who sought to compress all time and space so she could exist as a god. Myself and my companions fought against her to save the universe, and in the process, I became a sorceress. At first I despaired, but I had to learn to live with myself, and I vowed not to use my abilities for evil like my predecessor had… And for a while, I never had to use my abilities at all. With the universe saved my world had peace, and I was able to live happily with my loved ones… but as you can guess, it didn’t last.

Only a couple years after that battle, our world was attacked by strange creatures of darkness. Oddly shaped black things with glowing, almost buglike, eyes. They were petrifying, and the people immediately blamed the sorceresses for their arrival; hunts began- rather like witch trials from your world- and a lot of people were murdered in cruel and unusual ways… It was terrible…. And while all the terrified people were busy fighting amongst themselves, the monsters wreaked havoc on our world- eventually making the surface uninhabitable…. In essence, destroying the world my companions and myself worked so hard to save.

Those who were left fled underground, where they live in fear the monsters will one day find them and ruin what little they have left… I was condemned, for being a sorceress, and not allowed to enter… They told me I should stay with my own kind… I cried over that… But my friends stayed by my side. They vowed to once again defeat the evil wreaking havoc across our world, and in doing so, clear my name…. But in the battle that ensued, Squall disappeared…

I feared the worst, and once again I cried. I was on the edge of despair… But my friends assured me that Squall wouldn’t die so easily, and I believed them… Because the alternative was too hard to consider… But even so… If he wasn’t dead, where was he? Having seen what I’d seen my mind went to all sorts of terrible conclusions- a sorceress took him to another world, maybe he was lost in time… Maybe whatever was controlling those monsters was torturing him… If Squall was really alive, I knew he was in danger- I knew I had to find him.

I didn’t wait for consent, or tell my friends- there was no need to put them in danger as well- I just left. It wasn’t hard, really. I mean, the whole world on the surface was a ghost town. Everything was in ruins, but the spaceship my friends and I had was safely inside a set of shambles, and although it took a bit of magic to dig it out and get it running, it was easy enough to set off without saying goodbyes or making a scene.

I’ve been to many worlds on the Ragnarok, and along the way I’ve learned many things… Including about heartless… those creatures are the same as the ones that invaded my world… Though why I cannot say… Whatever the story of theirs is though, Squall’s after it. I’m always one step behind him, chasing rumors… I don’t know what he’s up to… Did he leave our world of his own accord? Is he purposely trying to escape from me?

There’s so many unanswered questions… But maybe, if I can find someone who knows more about these heartless creatures, I can find Squall.
People say I'm: People tell me that I’m feisty, compassionate, warm, and friendly… I guess the polar opposite of the cold and brooding Squall… I tend to act cutesy, but while I look delicate I shouldn’t be underestimated. I have a strong will and I’m unafraid of things that would make people quail… Generally when I’m insecure or unhappy I keep it to myself. And when it comes to people from other worlds I try hard not to get attached… Otherwise it’ll be that much harder to go home when the time comes.

My name is:
Rikku, nice to meetcha!
I'm not that old: I’m around 18 or so!
I fight with: I carry a wide variety of items on me that I can mix when I need to, y’know, into bombs and healing salves! and the occasional backfire in my face. Eheh… A lot of the stuff I have on me seems useless, but everyone changes their tune when they’re in a pinch! Hee hee!
I’m also skilled in... acquisitions… yeah, acquisitions. Of all kinds! So as long as what I need is in the area, I can get it for sure! (in other words, watch your pockets, because she’s skilled with thievery.)

But mixing is too unpredictable to rely on entirely, so I generally dual wield daggers as my primary weapon, though I keep a couple of hidden weapons on me too- just in case, y’know? I’m really not that strong physically, but I make up for it with acrobatics and my fancy knives!

Also, I can work with my dress sphere… That’s this thing we have on my world. Which lets you magically change outfits. Sounds silly, but with new outfits come new skills too! One gives me heightened speed and flexibility, another gives me roller skates, another gives me a rapier… It takes a lot out of me to stay ‘shifted’ so to speak, for long though…
I fight for: Light sounds nicer to fight for, I think…
You don't really need to know, but: I guess it was a while ago now, but once upon a time my friends and I saved all of Spira… That’s the world I come from. Anyways, things were exciting for a while, but when everything calmed down, Yunie left to be with Tidus in Zanarkand- his Zanarkand… The one that’s in another dimension… I was happy for her, I really was, but all my other friends went their separate ways too. Paine kinda just up and disappeared- she was always the distant sort, so I guess it’s not surprising; and Wakka and Lulu settled down to have a family. And it’s not that I don’t want the people I care about to be happy, but it gets lonely you know? All I did after things in the world had become peaceful was spend my days diving and salvaging machina, but even after Yu Yevon had died down- that was the religion of our world once upon a time- a lot of people still didn’t like machina, so my skills were frowned upon.


And then, not making anything better at all, Sin came back!

….Sin? Oh, well he’s the monster we defeated to save the world. It’s a long story, but basically he was a creature who was created off of the souls of many sacrifices, and summoned by a big meanie! Back in the day, Sin could supposedly only be beaten by a summoner- one who sacrificed their life to do so. Yunie was the summoner in our group, but we all worked hard so she wouldn’t have to die, and found another way to win- a way to stop the horrible ritual of people needlessly killing themselves.

I don’t understand how it is that he was able to come back… There’s no one to summon Sin…. But I guess it doesn’t matter. Answers won’t change the fact that it did return, and caused all sorts of trouble just like it did before. Answers won’t change the fact that the awful pilgrimage of summoners I’d worked so hard to stop made a comeback…

…But maybe answers will stop that monster for real this time.

Before, Sin was able to be defeated by a summoner because it was a summon itself. At least, that’s what I think… It was something, on some level, that we understood when we were fighting against it… But this time it’s different. There’s no possible way that it could be a summoned creature- there’s not enough souls or energy to summon it… And I have a feeling that unless someone figures out what the source of Sin’s energy is this time around, it’s not gonna be defeated- even by a summoner…. So I decided to set off to find the truth.

It was silly of me, really. What could I do against a monster like Sin? Especially alone? …But I couldn’t watch so many people rushing to sacrifice themselves needlessly.

At first I scoured books and old texts and anything else I could get my hands on, but when nothing provided any feasible answers I started to lose hope…. Then it happened. On a machina expedition dive I discovered something unlike anything I’d ever seen. It looked like an airship, but not quite. Some instinct told me that there was more to this thing than what everyone else thought, something different than normal machina…. So instead of spending my time reading I began spending obsessively fixing that thing- days, then weeks, it all blurred together… And sure enough, when all systems were go, I discovered that she ship was something called a gummi ship- from a far away world… At first I didn’t believe it, but the technology was really weird compared to what we have in Spira- it took me a long time to figure out the controls and extract the data and files of the ship’s travels, and I’m usually pretty quick on that stuff!

The files made me believe it. They had information of all sorts of different worlds and universes and the creatures within them… But what really piqued my interest were these things called heartless… Because the information on their nature was eerily similar to what I know of Sin… The ship didn’t have any data of a heartless as big or strong as Sin, but it had to be the answer! Sin kept coming back because he was a heartless! I don’t really know how these heartless things work so well, but I bet if I find a lot of people with light in their hearts, and maybe some of those keyblades- those seem important too- I could get them to help me beat sin!

…And so it was that I packed up and boarded the gummi ship. I’m going to make my own story, and save my own world!

People say I'm: Kind hearted! And I’m super energetic too! Some people say I’m childish, but I like keeping the spirit light and having fun! I tend to come up with nicknames for my friends too, and work really hard to make gloomy people cheer up a bit! Even though I’m perky, I have a couple of insecurities and worries… Actually a lot… But I don’t let people know about it unless I’m sad or depressed- I like being happy… even when I’m not.

Also, I’m super scared of thunder and lightning, and needles, and snakes…. –shudders-

Accepted Original Characters

My name is: Alex/Niu
I'm not that old: Eighteen
I fight with: Keyblade: Alex:Lost Memory, Niu: Unbound
I fight for: Alex: Light, Niu: Neutral
You don't really need to know, but: Niu awoke to his new existence as a nobody sometime between the Castle Oblivion incident and Sora’s reawakening. When he awakened, he found himself in Twilight Town with the memories of his past life intact. He didn’t stay on the world long however, discovering that he could travel between worlds using the corridors of darkness. Luckily, his quick departure from the world helped him to avoid the attention of the, at the time distracted, Organization XIII. For a time the young nobody traveled across the different worlds in order to explore them and create new experiences for himself. Though he tried to enjoy his travels they seemed somehow hollow. While he journeyed across the worlds he often found himself in battles with heartless, as well as others, which allowed him to hone his battle skills.

It was while he was visiting a new world that everything changed for Niu. A large group of heartless had attacked him while he had been taking a drink from a stream. Normally such a thing wouldn’t have been a problem, but there was a woman with them as well. She directed the heartless and fought with them until they were finally able to subdue Niu. The woman took Niu to her world and performed experiments on him while she collected data. Her main subjects of interest were matters of the heart. Somehow she had managed to obtain several of the hearts the Organization had been feeding to their artificial Kingdom Hearts and had modified them. She took a heart that was composed mostly of light, with only a small amount of darkness mixed in, and forcibly fused it into Niu’s body. The event caused an explosion that sent Niu’s body into the corridors of darkness.

The result of the fusion between the body of the nobody and the modified heart had an unexpected effect. Niu’s consciousness was not destroyed, but instead merely pushed back to make room for the consciousness of the new heart, Alex. Alex woke on the shores of the Destiny Islands with no memories of what had happened or of what his life may have been like before his heart had been collected. The first thing that Alex noticed when he woke up though, was Niu shouting in his head. Upon discovering that Alex had no memories, Niu gave him his name. After a while the two discovered that while Alex was in control of their body, he could relinquish control to Niu and even fuse their consciousnesses together totally, though the latter could only be done for short spans of time and left them exhausted afterwards. Having nowhere to go, Alex decided to enroll in Destiny High, keeping the existence of Niu a secret for the time being.

People say I'm: Alex is a kind hearted person. He doesn't like to see people in pain or to cause it. He's very out-going for the most part, only really keeping secret details relating to Niu. Alex is also the kind of person who would never abandon his friends. In combat he prefers to use support and defensive magic, but is skilled enough with his weapon to defend himself in close combat if necessary.
Niu on the other hand does not trust other people easily and likes to keep to himself. Alex is the only poerson that he trusts implicitly and that is because they share the same body. To him his own goals and best interest come first, though he is not above helping others if it is mutually beneficial. He can also be quite rude, not having much opportunity to ever interact with anyone but Alex. In combat he is ruthless, preferring to stay on the offense combining great skill at wielding his keyblade with potent offensive magic like Firaga and Thundaga. Because of this he can be careless, leaving holes in his defense.

My name is: Hikari
I'm not that old: seventeen
I fight with: the dark keyblade
I fight for: darkness
You don't really need to know, but: I don't like to explain my history, so pay attention because you will never hear me utter it again. I was once a native to Destiny Islands. Before I could even learn how to speak, I was stolen from my crib by Xehenort. He invaded during the night and tried to take away my twin brother, but when he started crying, he must've panicked, or changed his mind, because he turned around and grabbed me from my crib and flashed darkness into the minds of my parents, forever shrouding their memory of me and completely forgetting they ever had a daughter. I only had one good year in my life, and it ended that night when I was taken away from my family.

For the next sixteen years of my life, Xehenort had put me through a continuous line of being exposed to darkness, doing his bidding, and other horrible things to name a few. Along with mastering the powers of Darkness, he had also sent me to various worlds and train with other denizens of Darkness, such as learning magic from Maleficent, become trained in lies and deceit with Oogie Boogie, sword fighting with Captain Hook, and spending time with Sephiroth to hone and perfect my technique in both the powers of Darkness and fighting. By the time I was a teenager I was a darkness-wielding, world-killing machine. All that was left for me was to gain mastery of the Heartless and obtain a keyblade. Much to Master Xehenort's dismay, I was not among the chosen to wield the powerful weapon, no matter how much power I had accumulated, or my knowledge of the worlds and the Keyblade, I could not summon one. It was then Master Xehenort commanded me to follow the newest Keyblade wielder and find a way to acquire it. Without question, I disappeared and went to the world where he lived and brought Darkness and the Heartless to the world, effectively bringing about its destruction.

What I saw I couldn't believe.

High above the small island I was hovering in the center of the supernatural 'storm', looking down at the brunette and the other boy who looked just like me. How could I destroy the world now? I closed my eyes shut, preparing to defy my Master and wihdraw the darkness from the world. Consume the heart of this world. Save the Keybearer. The hold Master Xehenort has on me won over my mind once again. With my blank mind back in place, I sent down a Door to Darkness and took away the silver haired youth and commanded the Darkness to sweep him to another world. Now all that was left was dealing with the brunette, who strangely now wielded the Keyblade. Destroy him. Keep in mind, this part I do not like to remember. When I came face to face with that boy, something inside of me, no, inside my heart snapped. I curled up in pain as Darkness like I had never felt before poured into my very being. With everything I had I tried to contain it, remember the training Master Xehenort has pounded into me for so many years, but to no avail. I uncurled my form and screamed, feeling the power of Darkside pull from my life force and materialize and confront Sora, only for the latter to defeat it with the very weapon I sought before he was pulled into the vortex and flung into another world.

After that incident, I was changed. By the time I returned to my Master, there was hardly anything left to me. Master Xehenort remedied my body as best he could so I can continue his bidding, but my heart had been consumed, but somehow it was still intact, coexisting with the Darkness as though it and myself had become one and the same. As consequence of merging with the Darkness, I could no longer see light. From that point forward I was forced to wear a black blindfold to hide my eyes from the rest of the worlds, for that was the price of becoming the weapon that Master Xehenort had always dreamed of. But I still lacked a keyblade.

Since then I had followed Sora, Donald and Goofy through their adventures, pursuing them and doing everything I could to hinder them and steal Sora's keyblade by sending every Heartless I could into whichever world he was in. The only place I was never able to follow him into was Organization XIII's domain, Castle Oblivion. To this day I do not know why I couldn't enter there, or what transpired within those walls. I could only follow closely, silently, to wherever Sora and his friends went. The closest I had ever gotten to receiving a Keyblade was Riku's Dark Keyblade, which Sora had eventually used to release the hearts of the Princesses. Unknowingly to Sora, just because the Dark Keyblade disappeared, didn't mean it was destroyed. Though it was still a false keyblade, its power to release peoples' hearts was appealing to me, which brought me to the decision to take it as my own, though once I do manage to get a real Keyblade, the former weapon will be discarded.

Even after my Master Xehenort and Xemnas were defeated, I followed them back home to Destiny Islands with the same orders to destroy the Keybearer and take his weapon to destroy the worlds. But with my master gone and no other denizens of darkness to retreat to, all I can do is bide my time until I can take my revenge on the Keybearer.
People say I'm: I was never raised to have a personality. Personalities were for the weak and people of the Light. But if you must put a label on my demeanor, I would first and foremost say that I'm quiet. I do not speak unless spoken to, I think before I act, and either a person is useful to me or dead weight. I do not laugh; I do not smile. Working with the Darkness gives no time for such trivialities.

***

My name is: Adrien- though when among humans I take on the surname 'D'eon', so as to fit in.
I'm not that old: fifty, give or take, but my kind do not age as you humans do…
I fight with: A keyblade that takes the shape of a violin rather than its typical form, instead of cutting and slashing, it’s primary strength comes through the music it can make…. I can use the bow to fight if need be but… I am not a strong fighter, and music allows me a less violent alternative.
I fight for: Light.
You don't really need to know, but: I wish to keep my tale a secret for the safety of those around me, so please listen well, as I will not speak of it again.

I hail from the world of Atlantica, but from a different time period than what you seem to be familiar with. Princess Ariel has long since lived out her human years and passed on happily into the afterlife; her sisters likewise found suitable mermen and King Triton was able to pass on the throne to a worthy heir. Attina, being the eldest, was the leading candidate to become the new queen, with her mate as king; as you’d suspect, they ruled fairly and impartially, even forming an alliance with mankind using Ariel as a link among the two races. Their first act, to show their loyalty to this treaty, was to use the sacred triton’s magic on themselves, so that they could walk on land freely when their fins dried out- thus enabling easier negotiations between the leaders of our races.
Their magic was not perfect however, for the transformation was not a complete change to human, and there were many disadvantages to existing in a half shifted state; if, while they were on land, it began to rain or they were doused in water, their fins would return and they would be rendered quite helpless. Perhaps, back then, it would have been a fixable dilemma, but the hindrance was not one that was impossible to work with, and having seen the horrors of the sea witch Ursula’s powers, they did not want to abuse theirs over something so trivial. Thus the flaws remained, and was passed onto their descendants.

Yet these difficulties did not hinder the relations between our two races, even as time passed. It became a golden age for all merkind. The humans gave us gifts- riches or books or treasure- in exchange for safe passage overseas; we helped them avoid storms and rough waters so they could trade with other human nations, and as a result of the knowledge they provided, our society grew and evolved… However, times change. People change. And more than anything, the sea is always changing. After years of a prosperous relationship, a different sort of human ship began taking to the seas: pirate ships. Ships filled with people who believed themselves to be ruler of the water and everything in it.

Human tradeships began to be plundered more and more often as a result, and as tensions grew, the victims insisted it was our fault. They believed that ‘paying’ us for safe passage oversea meant being kept safe from murderers and thieves as well- yet attacking humans would break the treaty that princess Ariel and her sisters had worked so hard to build- the promise of peace between our people. So long as the pirates attacked the humans and not us, there was nothing we could do.

I was born amongst these turbulent times- the firstborn son to King Triton II of Atlantica- and although things were becoming tense in our relations with humans, our underwater nation was still thriving. The majority of our population still lived in harmony with the humans, and as I grew older, I was always excited to help out and meet them. Everything about them fascinated me- from the way they dressed to the way they spoke…. I just couldn’t get enough of their life- I absorbed it like a sponge- even roamed about on land for days, pretending to be one of them, to learn more of their cities and things I’d heard them speak of. –chuckles- I was like a giddy child when they gave me a bit of treasure….
But one day I took my ‘human cherade’ too far- I wandered deep into the main part of the city, and it started to rain unexpectedly… I should have seen it coming, but I was too enthralled…. And by the time I was flailing about on the ground with a fin, it was too late…. The humans at first had quite a fright, but eventually some came and carried me off. Although I’d heard of pirates, I’d always known kindness from the humans, so I expected to be brought back to the sea…. Instead they threw me in a manmade fishtank so people could gawk at me while they auctioned me off.

I was sold to a rich merchant, who had me brought to his house and put in another tank like some sort of trophy- I didn’t like trophies after that… Because I was so far away from the sea though, with no way to roam free, I became depressed, and over time I withered away and steadily became ill. The merchant called an animal doctor to heal me, but instead, at night when the merchant was asleep, a group of renegades appeared to release me- at the doctor’s request. I was too weak to take on a human form at that point, so they carried me all the way to the water, chased the whole way by the merchant’s guards…. I never knew the identity of my saviors- or what happened to them- I never saw them again after descending into the sea.

But I realized then that there was still kindness among the humans.

It wasn’t long after I returned to my kingdom and relayed my tale that my father lost his temper and declared all the humans corrupt, and- to show them who the true rulers of the sea were- cast a curse upon them: freshwater is safe, but whenever a human from our world comes into contact with sea water, it effects them like acid.

He declared an attack force against any humans that dared sail the seas- that was how mermaids got the reputation of seducing humans and dragging them to the sea…. As prince, I was part of this attack force, but after watching so many use their abilities to drag people underwater… And remembering the humans who’d been kind to me… I couldn’t do it.


On my first 'pirate raid' I tried saving everyone I could, but I was only able to save the captain. She'd been knocked unconscious by one of the raiders, and it was all I could do to get her into one of the ship's rowboats- the others were too busy trying to sink the ship to see me guide the boat away.... I brought the captain to shore, fearing she was already dead, but with effort I managed to nurse her back to consciousness. She was the most fascinating human I’d ever seen- she dressed and acted as if from another world… She had many questions for me as well, of course, but when I explained everything, she gave me her sword as thanks for my kindness. For all my efforts, she didn’t have much time left- the water had taken it’s toll- but she told me that my heart was pure, and that I was worthy of wielding her blade.

It was a strange weapon indeed- shaped like a key- and when I took it in hand it changed it’s shape further: into that of a violin. Perhaps to match my softhearted personality, I can never know, for the one with all the answers had already passed…

I returned to the sea, and over time studied the strange weapon, using what I learned of it in my mission to help humans. Yet its shape as a human-made instrument incurred the suspicion of others of my kind, and the truth of my actions eventually came to light… My father was enraged- wanting to sentence me to death for dishonoring him- and I was petrified.

I fled, but how far could one truly run from the king of the sea? Even on land my options for survival soon ran thin… Until it happened.

I played the violin in the depths of despair, believing that it was my final stand and seeking comfort, and a strange gate appeared. I didn’t know where it went and didn’t care, I was afraid and it was the key to my survival… I ended up in an entirely new world, and, not wanting to arouse suspicion, did my best to blend in with the culture.

Yet my father is powerful. And his wrath could make even the gods quail. I believe it is only a matter of time before he finds a way to follow me…. Soon, I will have to flee this world as well.
People say I'm: Quiet and withdrawn- almost timid. I usually don’t’ speak unless spoken to, and I generally avoid revealing things about myself… However, I’m fascinated with human culture and constantly watch them from afar, and I’m attracted to shiny things… Because of my ignorance to human ways however, I’m easily deceived and naïve.
