Zexion Chronicles I: XIII Thoughts

Chapter X: Luxord


The tenth member of Organization XIII, Luxord, The Gambler Of Fate.
The only thing interesting about him is how he fights.
Everything else is as normal as you can get.
Normal looks.
Likes only card games.
Hates Xigbar.
Not one to act childish at all.
Good at following orders, though gets into fights easily.
Controls time.
He is probably the most normal of us all.

The only thing that is actually interesting about him is how he fights.
For starters his weapon is a deck of cards. I wouldn't classify that as an actual weapon, but still they can do some damage.
I cannot fully explain how they even cause damage, but i guess it is because they are sharp.
When in battle, he can make his cards as large as himself and they, well have minds of their own.
Some of his cards are normal, some are bombs, and some can transform his opponents into a die. That is odd isn't it?
Luxord is quite dangerous up close and long range.
In close combat, he uses his cards like swords of some sort, and in long range combat, he sends his cards after his opponent which explode on contact. From there he sometimes scatters hs cards everywhere so nothing is safe from him.
But sometimes he forces whoever he is fighting into a quick card game that is win or lose for both of them.
I wouldn't call that great fighting using a move that ends it for you.
Just like gambling. You win or lose. Still it is unique.

His looks are the most normal out of everyone in Organization XIII.
Normal blond hair, short.
His skin colour is just like the rest, fairly light.
He stands at just half a head taller than me. Just about.

The only thing that seems to interest him is card games.
But that is nowhere near surprising since he is The Gambler Of Fate. And the biggest gambler at that.
And that is why he is just the slightest bit irritating.
The only one who likes card games is him, so he often gets lonely and asks the other members to play with him.
Xigbar was the first to play against him, and after loosing about 4 times in a row, cheated. Luxord was peeved.
So The Freeeshooter doesn't play anymore.
I cannot even remember how many times he has asked me.
Luxord always wins, so i don't see the point in playing.
So to make him lose, i made him play chess. He sure took his time playing. But lost in the end easily.
I don't think he likes loosing, or chess.

And it is because of Xigbar cheating at poker that Luxord hates him. Nobody likes a cheater i guess.
Normally the two get along well, but i guess number II wanted to show Luxord what it's like to lose.
By cheating. He didn't like it.
I'm not sure how Xigbar cheated... but he probably tore a tiny portal in space and took a peak at Luxord's hand.
I never thought he would be one to cheat at anything. But I'm sure nobody can play fair their whole life.

If there is one thing i like about him, it's his hate for anything childish.
And since he hates anything childish, he hates Roxas and Axel.
Demyx, well Luxord actually likes him. His only wish is that he plays his sitar with his door closed.
Makes me wonder how we all live with nobodies we hate in the castle that never was.
When i first met him, i thought he would be just a little childish. I always judge people by the way they look.
I was wrong.

He is good at following orders, mainly because he likes going on missions.
I guess i overlooked that. Unlike any of the other members, apart from Xaldin and maybe Saix, he does like missions almost as much as playing poker or other card games.
But sometimes with Luxord, going on missions is just an excuse to pick a fight with whoever he can find.
I never thought he would like fighting so much, either that or he does it because he's bored while out.

And like every other member, he can also control one of the 13 elements, if nothingness really is an element.
His element suites his looks. Time.
I'm not saying he's old, although he does look it just a little.
Most of the things Luxord does or likes, involve time. Strategy games take time, and he is big on strategy games.
But unlike the other members, he does not use his element at all. Only in battle would he find use for it.
He doesn't seem exactly happy about having time for his element.
But it can be very useful. He's just a little too lazy to bother with it.
Maybe a little too lazy.
For example, when Axel annoys him. Luxord could freeze him in time and chuck him in Vexen's giant freezer.
Axel would hate that to death.
But no, Luxord is just a little too lazy to do that, or anything else for revenge.
Speaking of revenge, i don't think he likes it. Not from how he acts when being annoyed.
Maybe revenge is too much of a bother...
