Mechanic’s Sight - If allowed physical contact and if he can concentrate, Zigmund can understand the workings, structure, and use of a piece of metal technology.
Strengths: Good with short blades, fast, genius level intellect, nigh unpredictable with his offense and defensive spells, expert mechanic
Weaknesses: He himself is rather weak when it comes to taking hits, long term close range combat, doesn’t take most fights seriously until pushed.
Personality: Back when he was a human, Arthur Katzbalg was a lighthearted, empathetic young man with an eternal curiosity for the world around him. Never liking fights, bullies, or the pompous, Arthur used his wits and trickery to get out of trouble and put an obsessive amount of study into his research on the relationships between science and magic. The darkest part of his personality then was the jealousy he had towards magic users due to his own subpar skills in the arts.
When he lost his heart however, things took a tailspin for the worst. Zigmund, as he came to call himself, was in many ways a dark reflection of his other. Lightheartedness had become an uneasy melancholy that spastically comes and goes. Empathy and a desire to help the world with his research have been replaced by cold dispassion and apathy towards almost everything in favor of the dark secrets that can continue his research. Secrets that his other would never even have thought of accessing. He still doesn’t like fighting, or bullies, or the pompous, and still uses his tricks and wit. But now they have taken a darker turn. He’ll kill those who irritate him, playing with them like a cat does with a mouse before dispassionately slitting their throats. He has also taken a liking to using lies and deceptions for nothing more than a cheap laugh at the victim’s expense. A laugh that subconsciously, he knows he cannot feel.
Finally, and most secretly, Zigmund has gained a deep resentment and hatred towards his other, thinking of Arthur as “A weak fool, stumbling around his machines and magic tricks”. One of the only ways to truly “anger” Zig is to compare him to his past self. He does however; genuinely miss, as much as a Nobody can miss, his family and friends, having an odd desire to meet them and bring them under his care, though as to what purpose, no one can be sure. Oddly enough, his jealousy for mages is gone in this life, disappearing upon the realization of his own power.
Likes: His research, weapons and technology, new things, root bear.
Dislikes: Torture, the pompous, prolonged fighting, being confined, his past self
Fears: Never truly finishing his research.
Family: Has absolutely no idea what happened to any of his family members, but likes to assume that they are still alive
Bio: Arthur was born the father of two of Radiant Garden’s most respected mages, and from an early age, showed an almost inhuman curiosity and intelligence. His parents, assuming that he had an even greater aptitude for magic then they did, naturally began trying to teach him the art early on. They quickly realized however, that this boy, prodigious in the studies of math, science, and computing, could not even cast the most basic fire or cure spell without an exceptional amount of practice and concentration.
Unlike other parents though, Arthur’s family embraced his genius for what it was and allowed him to flourish as an exceptional young scientist and researcher, finishing his main education at the age of fifteen, and becoming a certified royal researcher at the age of eighteen. However, in spite of his skill and ability, he was still mocked and distanced due to his ineptitude with magic and his disinterest in the “heart research” that was going on at the time. Instead of hearts, he took interest bridging the gap between magic and technology, creating the Arcane and Runic Translator Glove (A.R.T), as well as his pet project, the battle armor Zigmund, at this time. Unfortunately, just as he was about unveil Zigmund to his peers, tragedy struck and the Heartless emerged, dragging Arthur into the darkness as he holed up in the corner of his lab, ready to take his own life.
Waking up in a barren waste of a world, Arthur awoke and realized something was wrong, something was missing. All it took was the discovery of his own powers and his lack of genuine emotion, and Arthur’s mind snapped. As he lay there in the dust, feeling nothing and wanting no one, the darkness whispered. Promising improvements, knowledge, and his own peace of mind to the emotionless husk of a man. Arthur, he himself without anything left accepted, and was pulled into the darkness, loosing himself to its grip. Now, adopting the name of his last project, Zigmund set out to gain knowledge, explore this new universe, and gain secrets and power that his other would never understand. Without guilt or empathy to get in his way, Zigmund was free, the universe was his lab, and the endless possibilities of the warring stars left much to be scavenged.

Job Class: Aeromancer
Attack Abilities:
Aeromancy- Tsu can manipulate the wind around her.
- Tsu sends out razor blades of wind, cutting up anything in the way.
- Tsu creates a hurricane that picks up any objects, enemies, even allies. It isn’t a picky hurricane, and she doesn’t care who gets caught up in it.

Fears: Tsu does not truly know what fear is, so she has yet to develop anything to fear.
Family: Father- Location unknown
Mother- Location unknown
Brother- Location unknown
Bio: Being born on a small country on the planet of Crinosis, Tsurumi’s home was unaffected by the larger mage’s war that was involving most of the planet. Well, for most of her life. In the last couple of years it was affected as the main combatants tried to win her country over and have it join them. Fighting desperately to prevent that, Tsu lost friends and family alike.
They fought for years to try and keep away from the larger wars, but it eventually proved impossible. The economy was failing and they needed help, so they eventually joined the war, unaware that there were only two years until the invasion of the Heartless began. As it was, for resisting so long, the side that they joined demanded a price. Half of the population would be sent to slavery, while the rest could keep their previous statuses. Big surprise that the rich stayed rich, while the poor got poorer. Separated from her family, Tsu was sent to work in the city, cleaning the plumbing along with several others.
One day, almost two years later, just as she was about to begin her day, the person in charge of her group came up with a stranger in tow. The head told her that the man had seen her going to work and found it to be a shame that she had to work in the sewers and had decided to buy her and give her a proper upbringing. While the other slaves simply shook their heads and went back to work, Tsu went with her new owner, unaware of the plans that he had for her.
It went well for several weeks, but then the man told her what was going to happen to her. He was a wealthy businessman who was going to marry her off so that a corporate merger would happen. She ran away that night, terrified. She had trusted the man, and that was how he repaid her? The terror soon turned to hatred. When she was caught, she was punished.
That night, as the man slept, Tsu killed him, leaving no murder weapon but the air around him. Then she left, dressed in a black dress as if in mourning, with a magically reinforced parasol, originally meant to protect against aerial magic, now serving as her main weapon.
When the Heartless came, she accepted them and was taken by the darkness. Expecting death, she was pleasantly surprised when she was merely thrown to another world. Since then, she has been wandering the worlds among gummi ships, seeking something to keep her interested.

He became bedridden, and in fear of having their only child crashing out, Mitsudo's parents called in a healer. The healer had given them one warning before he began, stating "Anything could happen to the boy, he will live...but at a price that I cannot begin to comprehend." The parents took one look at each other, then at the healer, saying to continue on.
As the healer began his healing procedure, the boy's body looked more well immediately, and nothing seemed out of the ordinary. The boy went on to learn two fighting styles as well as live a fairly social life...Until he turned sixteen and saw no change to his height or overall body size. The healers magic, although curing him, had damned him to be trapped inside of a twelve year old body for the rest of his life. Mitsudo decided to make a choice: Live with it...or die. Obviously, the choice he made was to live, so he continued to learn to fight in order to better his world. He quickly volunteered in the Eiengetsu Army, rising through the ranks before switching into being a part of the Royal Guards. He did his job with pride, until the Heartless began appearing.
While investigating the evil creatures, he was attacked and defeated. However, his will to live and his desire to keep the Royal Family alive turned him into a Nobody. The other guardsmen assumed he had died, and a small grave has been added to a graveyard in his village. Now he searches for the Royal Children, who have gone in search of the perpetrators of the Heartless attacks.

Upon her arrival into existance, those who had custody over her descovered she's absorbing or assimilating what she's missing from exposure to living beings and the world around her.

The wizard exmained her and came to the conclusion that the human was indeed empty, completly blank in heart, mind and body as well. Youni had no deffining features ecept for the basic humanoid form, with white hair, pale yello eyes and skin ghostly pale, almost transparent.
Over the weeks she was under Aeriths & Co. care, youni began to show signs of her assimilating nature. Her gender became descernable within 2 weeks, and she began to produce deffining features. As well as speak in a limited vocabulary that was growing the more she listened. She was brought to Merlin for teaching, and the girl absorbed some kinds of information quickly, while other concept swere hard to grasp for she simply lacked the capabilities in one of her blank componants to process it properly. Like- love, or loalty, for her heart was blank. But Merlin deemed that all parts were there, they simply needed to be matured. Eventually Aerith descovered her pictomancy when Youni wished to leave the room, without being asked to, and drew a hole. Over the passing months she's spent in their collective care, Youni has learned to speak, and understand most of what people say, she can walk, run a little, and make many things appear and happen. She understand what it means to aska question... so obviously, she asks a lot of them. Aerith and Merlin have done thier best to equip her and help her craft an assortment of fixed abilities using her pictomancy so she is no longer defenceless. Youni's true personality has yet to take form, but she shows signs of curiousity, if that counts for anything.

His support lies with whomever he is around at the time should they need it.
Benk is very confrontational and loves to irritate those suceptable to it.
Since he is quite aware of his power, to a fault, he rarely thinks about whether or not something is the right or the smart thing to do. He ignores consequences, and does what suits him and him alone.
Likes: Entertainment and Excitement
Dislikes: His Younger Sister
Fears: Nothing
Family: Mother, Father, and Younger Sister- Living Back In The Tribe
Bio: Benk grew up in the tribe, as a child prophesied to be a warrior of great potential. Only after several years of training, did the tribe realize... he had no talent in the field what-so-ever. None the less, his training continued until his 18th year, at which point his tribe decided that in his best interest, it would be good for him to find a different profesion.
However, before this occured, another factor came into his life around the age of 7. A sister was born under the same star, his sister, was also a destined warrior. Only, in her case, she was smart, quick to learn, and well attuned to the spirits she was brought up to work with. Her training quickly surpassed Benk's. Meanwhile, though his training continued, Benk started passing it by to sneak off and lazy about. As his sister grew more and more renowned and considered a true warrior, and as such, she became a sore subject to Benk, who came to loath his little sister.
On a day like any other, blowing off his duties as a tribe warrior, Benk wandered deep into the jungle and came across a place cloaked deep in the shadows of the thick cannopy. A large circle of trees, so densely packed they forged their own wall created the sanctuary and grave for what was kept at its core. A large mound of plants and rocks loomed in the center of the circle taking the shape of a drake-like monster, long since slain leaving its body to harden and turn to stone.
Curious, Benk ventured closer to examine the mound. When standing, with his hand hovering over the monsters still muzzle, a bright light filled his eyes and caused him to stumble back. A voice boomed in his head, violating his mental barriers and invading the deepest recesses of his mind, "You who have forgotten yourself, are unworthy of my power. A gaurdian unwilling to protect has no purpose. You must give it all away, and remember from what you have lost."
Benk cowered, scrambling backwards. The light grew, the moss, trees, and bushes bloomed in unison with flowers of light, engulfing the sanctuary.
When Benk came to, he was alone and far from his home hidden deep in the Ivalician rain forests. He stared up at the clear star filled sky, he saw so little of in his cannopy covered village. Slowly his surroundings brought back his senses, the hustle and bustle of people, the hum of electric lights on the street side, opening and closing of doors, the suffocating, pungent scent of a back alley, the discusting taste the air left on the back of his tongue, the damp grit of his hand running through a puddle over cement, lastly, the feeling of panic running through his chest as the question rushed to the formost place of his mind, "Where am I?"
The Viera had landed on the mismatched word of Traverse Town, a world where all lost seemed to go... and if not go, end up regardless of will or choice. It was here he spent the next few months, it was here he learned to surive on his own, and most of all, it was here he discovered what to him was the most useful secret of all. A keyblade. No one told him this. It was never spoken of with others. It was his secret alone. Yet somehow, despite its strange shape, it was what he felt it was meant to be called as well as the specific name he had labeled the odd weapon, Forest Guardian.

Arylkia Name: Nomaa Blitz
Nickname/Alias: "Queen of the Spanish Main," your highness (to her closest friends and crew)
Age: 29
Gender: Female
Appearance: Concept Art
Height: 5'9"
Weight: 138 lbs
Body Type: While no one could deny that she is a woman, Nomaa's body has been toned through training and the physicality required to work on a pirate ship.
Skin type: Naturally tan from her time at sea. It is flawless, save the tattoos that grace her arms and back.
Eye Color: Green (She does not wear an eyepatch, as shown in the picture)
Hair Color: black
Hair Style: Long and naturally windswept. For whatever reason, while she hardly ever does anything with her hair, it suits her personality, and only adds to her exotic appeal. There is a small braid on her right temple, which never changes.
Clothing: Nomaa's outfit consists of a loose, unbuttoned white shirt, grayed from use and age. It would almost fall completely off her frame if it were not for the black leather corset around her waist, and the leather straps that reach under her shoulders, securing her cutlass' sheath on her back. A wide brown belt with a large silver buckle holds a black skirt and gray petticoat secure. The skirt itself seems to be made from an old pirate flag, and draped in such a way that it forms a high slit above her right thigh. In fact, if it were not for the red and white stripped leggings underneath, she would probably bear all to her crew. To finish off the ensemble, she wears a pair of heeled leather boots, which come up to her knees.
Unusual Body Art/Parts:
Race: Human
Theme Song(s):
Bad Reputation- Joan Jett And The Blackhearts
Significant Trait: Strong-willed and flirty
Quotes: "Just five me 5 minutes. You'll have your treasure."
"I didn't become a pirate captain by being nice. Deal with it."
Good/Evil: Neutral -- pay her enough money, and she'll do whatever you want. Under it all, however, she has a good heart.
Homeworld: Port Royal
Main Weapon: Cutlass
Additional Equipment: pistol; 2 Arabian Daggers
Job Class: Pirate / Thief
Attack Abilities: {You can have less/more than three, if necessary}Swift Winds - When using a bladed weapon, this ability allows Nomaa to quickly close the distance between herself and a foe, striking several times in quick succession.
Rope Swing- Allows Nomaa to swing into battle and kick an opponent, knocking him out of the ring or dealing a significant amount of damage, depending on the foe's level.
Hit the Deck- lobs a pirate grenade at the foe, dealing significant fire damage. She can only carry a limited amount of these grenades with her, and they are ineffective if the wick is wet.
Support Abilities: {You can have less/more than three, if necessary}Asp's Sting- Allows Nomaa to dip her blade in a number of poisons, all causing different status effects. This comes from knowledge of exotic animals and poisons gained in her travels. The effects of the poison last for only one battle, and she cannot apply poison once she is in combat.
~ Dart Frog Poison - Causes paralysis 3 moves after being struck with her bladed weapon. Paralysis starts with the legs and eventually moves to encompass the whole body. This is easily remedied with some simple white magic.
~ Arabian Cobra Venom - Causes confusion 3 moves after being struck with her bladed weapon. Vision becomes hazy, and it is easy to mistake friend from foe. This is a little more difficult to cure, but can be done with white magic.
~ Sea Snake Venom - Causes bleeding within 3 moves of being struck with her bladed weapon. This means that the opponent slowly loses HP over a set period of time, usually one battle, unless healed with white magic.
Flashbang- Throws a flash grenade at the base of the foe's feet, resulting in a bright flash of light that distracts the enemy, giving her enough time to get away.
Glittering Distraction- Throws a handful of treasure at the foe, distracting it momentarily and giving her the time to come in and deliver the finishing blow.
Haste- Increases the speed of the entire party for a short period of time. This typically results in the ability to flee faster, or doubles attack speed.
Passive Abilities: {YOU MAY ONLY HAVE TWO MAXIMUM}"Persuasion"- To put it delicately, Nomaa knows that she is an attractive woman, and can often use that to her advantage. She is not above putting her feminine attributes to good use, especially if there is profit to be made in the venture. Of course, not all men are as vulnerable, but men are visual creatures.
Navigation- Nomaa has a superb command of the seven seas. Even on unfamiliar worlds, she appears to have a knack for getting where she needs to go, and can read a map like nobody's business. There are few times she has ever found herself lost, and even when she is, she always manages to find her way back to the main road.
Limit Breaks: {These are attacks that you can only use when your character is near defeat, as in his/her last few HP.} Damn the Code! - All the fire power she has available is thrown at the enemy, including grenades, cannon balls, pistol shots, you name it. It generally covers almost the entire area, taking out anything in her path. If it gets to the point she has to use this attack, she loses all ammunition, but hopefully lives to fight another day.

Strengths: Nomaa is a woman that knows what she wants and just what she is willing to do to get it. She is a strong woman, and relies on no one else in her life for anything. She keeps her friends around because she enjoys their company, more than what their skills can do for her. In battle, she is level-headed, and it takes a lot to get her to lose focus on something. Despite being a woman in a man's profession, she has a reputation for being deadly in a fight, and is much better to have on your side than against you. No matter what task is set before her, anyone can take confidence that once she is given a job she will accomplish her task, or die trying. In battle, Nomaa's main strength is her speed and agility. She also has an uncanny awareness of her surroundings, even in the most chaotic of battle situations, probably arising from her knack for navigation. She also has slightly raised energy in battle, to make up for her average offensive power, which allows her to fight for extended periods of time without much physical exhaustion. Her physicality is always a plus, and comes out in battle.
Weaknesses: For those that she is close with, she can be loyal to the point of absurdity. While she sticks with most of the pirate code, she would go to great lengths to save a friend, which often leads to greater danger for the majority. Her lack of respect for authority has often gotten her in trouble, and any time she is not in charge of her own world, she can revert to an almost child-like defiance, including the silent treatment. She is intolerant of stupidity, and really dislikes children. Her main weakness is that she has no magical prowess whatsoever. Even the most simple white or magic is lost on her, so she often relies on others to take the magical side of battle. The only magic she can use seems to be haste, which only affects those in her party for a short amount of time. Furthermore, for ranged attacks, her accuracy is certainly not 100%, so throwing grenades and the like, which effective in dealing damage, have a high chance of missing the target.
Personality: Nomaa is a volatile woman with many faces. To her friends she is carefree, loving and protective. To her enemies she is ruthless, calculating and bloodthirsty. To those in between, she is ambiguous, suggestive and mysterious. She likes to mess with men, particularly in flirting with them and teasing them with a woman they can never have. She has yet to find a man that she felt could keep up with her, since her standards are so high and she is mistrustful of letting most of them into her life, at least in an intimate faculty. At the end of the day, her loyalties lie to her crew and the sea, where she is always up for an adventure. To those that get on her bad side, impeding her ability to take part in the outdoors or threaten her friends, there is no worse enemy.
Likes: Being outdoors and finding treasure. Things that sparkle always catch her eye, and if there is profit to be gained, you can count her in for an adventure. There is nothing better than being near the sea, and she tends to get more agitated when she is landlocked. She also likes boys, even if she tends to be mistrustful of them.
Dislikes: Stupidity. Plain and simple. She also dislikes children, which makes her intolerant of younger travelers and ignorance. She really dislikes being away from the sea for too long, and tends to get more agitated the longer she is away from her ship.
Fears: Being landlocked with no way of returning to the sea. Losing her closest friends.
Family: Constance Hathaway (mother), Albert Hathaway (father)
Bio: Nomaa was born Mariana Hathaway, the only daughter of a wealthy merchant family in Port Royal, a British colony. She was given every luxury by her parents growing up. When she was a young girl, her father took her with him on a voyage, she has long since forgotten the trade they sought, but on the way back, their ship was attacked by pirates. Despite her father's every plea, Nomaa was taken captive and brought to the pirate ship, never to see her parents again. As a young, attractive woman, Nomaa performed certain "duties" aboard the ship, if only to save her own life. This hallowed out her personality, ridding her of the giddy, spoiled girl she had once been, and began her transition into the cold pirate she would one day become.
Despite the gravity of the situation, she managed to learn many "tricks of the trade" through her time with the various pirates on board. Despite the various superstitions that having a woman aboard brought bad luck, she managed to mingle with the crew, eventually asserting herself as one of their ranks through her apparent skill with the sword and navigating. She learned how to fight, how to steal, how to act and everything in between, and became quite the young pirate herself. In a world where men were known as the only captains of ships, she was kept under tight watch, until one night their ship was attacked by a rival pirate, after the loot from their latest pillage. In the fight, she managed to remain alive, her captain slain and the rest of the crew left in shambles as their rival disappeared into the fog with their treasure.
Silencing all resistance, she stepped up as captain, managing to lead their ship to Tortuga, where all the repairs were made, and a crew was re-established. As one of the only, if not the only, woman pirate captain in the waters, her crew was significantly underestimated in their first few battles, and from that they gained a heinous reputation throughout the Spanish Main. As the Heartless began appearing, her crew took to looking after themselves, and protecting their treasure from this new threat. She knows little of the heartless, but through her own cunning and leadership she has managed to form a loose alliance with some of the other pirates to try and rid their world of this new menace. Now, it is up to her to find a group that will aid her in purging their world of the Heartless, once and for all.
