This one might be one of my favourites! I hope you will like it too~
Rules followed here : None of the Soras
Theme : Leadership
People often underestimated how hard being a leader was. The bigger the team, the harder it was. And when you were leading eleven horrendous people, calling it hard wouldn't even start to cover it, and Xemnas was learning that every day.
His number II, Xigbar, would always discuss every order and he was so much into sarcasm, Xemnas was never sure if the man was serious or not. Every gossip in the Organization usually came from Xigbar.
His number III, Xaldin, would never go on a mission that was not in the Beast's Castle for reasons he never gave, and he clearly did not care about not being seen by people.
His number IV, Vexen, was the creepiest of them all. He had a passion for making living dolls of kids, and although that ended up being convenient, Xemnas would rather not live under the same roof as him, and sent him to the Castle Oblivion.
His number V, Lexaeus, barely ever spoke to anyone and never asked any question. Even if he did not understand the mission. Which resulted in him doing the missions wrong most of the time. Xemnas had to send him away, to Castle Oblivion, where he could not mess anything up.
His number VI, Zexion, had some vision impairment due to his ridiculous bang hiding half of his face. Not only his shooting (or spell casting) accuracy was therefore pretty low, but he also ended up crashing in any obstacle that would be on his right side. He sent him to Oblivion so that he would stop seeing him bumping into each and every wall.
His number VII, Saïx, was the most promising one, and the more obedient. However, he was sometimes concerned that the Lunar Diviner had some plans of his own. He still trusted him enough to let him manage all these idiots in his place.
His number VIII, Axel, was a dissident element. He obeyed orders without questioning them, and was ready to get his hands dirty - however, he did not exactly obeyed Xemnas's order, but Saïx's. So as long as Saïx remained obedient, Xemnas felt he might still be able to control him. However, the redhead had a sweet tooth and would monthly fill an expense claim form to ask for the reimbursement of the ice-creams he bought. Xemnas had decided that at the 100th form, he would ask one of the other members (probably Saïx) to get rid of him.
His number IX, Demyx, was the most troublesome of them all. He would always do as little as he could, sending other people to fight in his stead, and spend the whole day lying on the couch and play the sitar. He still did not exactly know when he thought it would be a good idea hiring him. At least he wasn't half bad for reconnaissance missions, as long as it did not involve fighting. The worst part was that even when he fought, he was annoying. He would send an army of clones (imagine : more Demyx.) and if they weren't destroyed soon enough, your vital force was drained. That was probably the reason Demyx was still there: killing him would be too much of a bother.
His number X, Luxord, was too much of a gambler. He liked gambling more than he liked winning, and there was no way of telling whether he would come back successful or not from his missions: he would sometimes roll a dice and if he did not like the outcome, he would come back home. Or just play all of his money in a casino. And fill an expense claim form. Xemnas hated these papers.
His number XI, Larxene, was irritating beyond reason. She would overreact to anything, and her piercing voice would wake anyone up. She was aggressive towards everyone, and putting her alone with Demyx would result in a slaughter, while putting her alone with Axel would result in them trashing everyone (Xemnas did not want to think about what would happen if she was left alone with Xigbar). The best idea he could come up with to avoid any disagreement and to avoid her was to send her away to Castle Oblivion.
His number XII, Marluxia, looked so clean and perfect it was more than obvious he was an actual traitor. Nobody knew where he was from, Xigbar recruited him (and Xigbar had a thing to find troublemakers), and his whole aura screamed "hypocrite". Xemnas had no trust in him but pretended he did, as he sent him doing some babysitting job in Castle Oblivion. He was also incredibly tired of Marluxia never ever picking up the flower petals he was scattering everywhere.
So the day Xemnas recruited Roxas, aware of his utility as a vessel to control the Keyblade and form Kingdom Hearts, he knew it would bring troubles anyway.
He was the leader of an organization of the worst eleven people he knew, so it would seem pretty obvious that the Number XIII would be as much troubles as the others.
Don't you feel sorry for poor Mansex here? Poor sweetheart. That's the reason you almost never see him in Days - he's probably depressing somewhere.
Our special guest from last Chapter was Zoro from One Piece! In the show, he gets lost all the time, and it's my own private joke to think he could pop up anywhere. I'm still waiting for the day I'll do a cosplay skit and a Zoro cosplayer would appear, completely lost XD The minute we decided to include a new character with Saphir, I knew it had to be him!
See you tomorrow~
Let's play a game! I tell you tomorrow's theme and you tell me what you think it could be about. (even if you read this long after the next prompt is posted, you can still play! Leave a review about what/who you think it might be about, then read the next one to check. I would be so interested to know about what comes to your mind with the themes!)
Next theme : Misunderstanding (woah this one could be about a lot of things)
