Riku: "Must be really bored."
(Has knife to Riku's throat in a millisecond) I can take personal insults, and maybe some towards my story, but never, ever insult my reviewers! Narrator, please do the introductions. (Begins to beat the living daylights out of Riku)
Narrator: "Okay, the author doesn't own, well, anything."
(Stops for a moment) Hey! I own a couple of things, like my copies of the games. (Resumes)
Narrator: "Well, you don't own the game directly, or any other concepts."
Acronos: "I'm still confused as to when we hired you, and how there are two of me."
Narrator: "I was hired when you first met me, and there are two of you because the author, (ducks under a bolt of lightning courtesy of Riku), created a you perfectly linked to the story, and you as you are, more linked to Fanfiction.net and reality."
Sora: "Run that by me again?"
Acronos: "I get it."
Narrator: "Think of it as acting, there are the real-life actors: you, and the people portrayed by the actors in the movie: story you."
Sora: "Oh. Ahh! (Dodge rolls away from a small nuclear explosion courtesy of the author: me)"
Ha! Take that! (Throws Riku into a wall leaving him imbedded there for a bit) This is a chapter that is the result of my nature of meticulous detailing, I describe characters as best I can, and also some of the story's concepts. (Side steps from Riku's charge) Okay, you're gone! (Grabs him by the collar and throws him out a door into a mob of fangirls) That should do it!
Acronos: "Since when have we had that door?"
I felt that I'd better give this chat time an actor to director feel, so I made it a studio, like a movie.
Acronos: "Cool. Anything else to add, author/director?"
No… Oh yeah, to Armageddon1, you'll have to wait until the next chapter for news on Sora, but don't worry he plays an important role.
Sora: "But I'm right here!"
Acronos: "Story you."
Sora: "Oh."
Onwards with the profiles!
Character Bios
Acronos: The main character, duh.
Past: His past isn't super interesting, he was a regular kid on Earth, aside from the ancestry. Went to school, got good grades, played video games, did sports, and of course learning to use weapons, especially the sword.
Mind: He is a tiny bit crazy, at least by his standards; just enough to think outside any box and also make people laugh. He's occasionally serious and also contradicts himself once in a while. He has a very strong sense of justice, but it's balanced by strategy, (if he were to see an innocent person being swarmed by heartless, he'd first see what advantages he could use, then rush in and use them). He considers himself old-fashioned because he is disciplined and won't date except for love. Also he has about as much love as a teaspoon. As a contradiction, he is very kind. While he doesn't mind company, he needs a certain amount of space, and also prefers being alone. He has a great memory and never forgets a face, a name is different, but that's not important. While he may not be too capable of love, he has a bit of a romantic in him. He can sense many things vaguely, such as if someone's lying, or just things about them from first impressions.
Physical: He is about 5'11''. He has waist-length black hair that's quite spiky, like SSJ 3 if you know about it. He has brown almond-shaped eyes that seem quite deep. His face is one that you could pass off in a crowd, and he uses this on occasion. He has long arms and legs and seems wiry, but has a lot more strength than some might give him credit. He's 15.
Clothes: He wears a dark-blue trench coat with gray sweat pants that are thin but resistant, and a crimson shirt. A belt that also sheathes his knife holds the pants. His trench coat's arms have red and green lines in a spiral on them. The trench coat has no belt to close it, but instead uses a zipper and some buckles. He also wears gloves of brown leather with the tips cut off, thin gray plastic below the tips, and clear plastic over the backs of his hands. They reach 4 inches below the wrist and a few darts hidden in the fingers, (the only leather on the fingers). Below the gloves are metal arm-guards that don't quite reach the elbow. On the left one is a watch at the wrist, with a 4-inch screen starting where the gauntlet ends that moves because there are keys under it, like a keyboard. The screens can flip during combat. There are small speakers here and there. The watch projects small holograms, like a map, the time, and other things. He also wears brown boots that are thin and allow him to keep silent. You can't forget his amulet either; it's a metal chain that fits comfortably around his neck. In the middle are two gems that represent the balance of light and darkness, harmony and disorder, justice and chaos, surrounded by gems representing all the elements. All this surrounded by gold. Note that all gems are different.
Magic: He absorbs heartless through a symbol on his left hand, which also absorbs elements and energy. He casts all types of magic and specializes in time magic. He summons certain heartless. He can use materia and can learn to summon Odin, Chronos, Bahumat Zero, and Fenrir.
Specials: He can combo with his heartless. His special is currently Sonic Blade, plus tactical maneuvers. He also uses two weapons simultaneously, as well as martial arts and energy. Also, his well-balanced nature of fighting and life could be considered. In a certain world he learns to use his devil form properly, which means activating it at will, with some stress. To use a transformation, you must have a weapon strong enough, or be at a certain level of strength. For instance, Acronos must reach level 35, or have a strong enough keyblade to use the devil form at will. Otherwise, it requires a surge of energy that's powerful enough, such as from extreme stress or the reflection of "Heart of Pure Light". This is a bit difficult to attain and still remain alive.
Weapon: The keyblade. This keyblade gets stronger with attached key chains. However, these keyblade forms get stronger depending on certain situations. For instance, the "Hearts' Test" keyblade, (the first one) increases its strength and attack the more of a challenge something is, to the heart or physically. The "Paopu Star" gets stronger with more things to protect, people or a world. He also wields a 32'' knife, with a foot of it being handle. Hearts' Test is 2'6''of blade; a foot of handle, and its handle is metal covered by vinyl. The Paopu star is 1'7'' of blade, eight inches of handle, and the same type as Hearts' Test. For a description of their appearances, see chapters 3 and 6.
Maioko: My other OC.
Past: She has a normal past like Acronos. School, good grades, video games, sports, weapons, and anything else that I didn't mention that's normal for girls.
Mind: She's able to make plans too, but a little shakier than Acronos. She has a very strong sense of justice, and since she has no balance, she can be a bit headstrong at times, (she sees an innocent being swarmed by heartless, she'll just run in without weighing the consequences, but does know her own limits). She's not so old-fashioned and has dated a few times, but without finding anyone really special. Her wish is to find someone who really cares about her. She enjoys helping others and is willing to help with almost anything. However, she hates when there's someone who needs help, but she isn't able to help. As for being headstrong, she tends to be a bit impatient, and if left to her own devices too long with certain promptings, can come to enough incorrect conclusions to be thinking the opposite of what's really there, in short, she can drive herself mad. This only happens if she's totally alone, and also requires heavy stress, like Sora when he went heartless. Also, if something like this happened, she does draw incorrect conclusions, so she would still have some light and sense. If this happens, the only way to make her see reason is to show her the truth in such a way that it's impossible to misinterpret. So to wrap it up, she's a funny, slightly romanticizing person who's rather intelligent, but who has the seeds of darkness in her.
Physical: She is about 5'9'' and 15. She has waist-length brown hair that's straight. She usually wears it in a long ponytail with spiky bangs in front, with rope tying it at the base of her skull and the base of her hair. She has velvety brown eyes that are very deep and almond-shaped. She also has the type of face that you could pass off in a crowd. She's like Acronos when it comes to being wiry and long, but she has, um, effective feminine features.
Clothes: She wears a light blue top that reaches a bit below the waist, is tucked in anyway, and wears gray, loose, and thin pants. She also wears a forest green vest that reaches to the waist, with her hair over it. She has metal arm-guards reaching to the elbows, and has tape wrapped on her arms underneath. She has steel-toed boots built for hitting, guards with metal studs on her knees and elbows, and on the elbows the guards are over the sleeves which barely reach that length. Oh yeah, she has a black headband that has two strings sticking out the back. It has blue symbols in Japanese, Latin, and other things like that. She has earrings that are symbols meaning, "Power" and "Hope".
Magic: She casts all types of magic, but specializes in wind, and she can use a bit of creative magic. She can summon an angel star later on. She can use materia and also learn Bahumat Zero, Dust Devil, Phoenix, and Grim Reaper.
Specials: She can combo with her Angel Star. He specials are currently energy blasts, throws, and double attacks.
Weapon: She uses her metal-knuckled gauntlets to inflict heavy damage. She's also added steel claws to the fingers and gold-colored ones on the knuckles. She also uses most of her body as a weapon, but mainly her fists and feet.
Acane: My friend's OC
Past: She was born in Tidus' world, but during the reign of the second Sin, around the time of Yunalesca if you've played FFX. An intelligent Sin spawn was created in this time and attacked her village. It killed all her family aside from her sister, which it took away. She chased after the thing for years, and both became stronger. Before she could kill it, some Bevelle, (don't ask) people attacked and destroyed it. She was knocked out for a while. She eventually got up and searched frantically for her sister's body. A part of the Sin spawn was still alive. It commended her on her strength and told her everything about the summoners. It also told her that her sister was one of them and had acquired all summons but Bahumat and the Final Aeon, which kills the summoner. It also told her that Bevelle had taken her sister. Before Acane ran off, it gave its last ounce of magic to create her water spear and electrify her swords. She managed to stop her sister, but she had already learned to summon the Final Aeon. They both fought Sin, and were going to lose, when her sister summoned the Final Aeon. When it won, it killed her sister. Acane was devastated, even more so when the heartless invaded. They stole the core, but there was such a use of magic, that this entire incident was simply wiped out and the world continued existing. Acane was flung to another world with some gummi blocks, believing her world had been annihilated. The world was also so messed up that history was written and the FFX adventure just started immediately. She traveled to many worlds and assembled a star chart while getting stronger. She remained bitter for a while, but eventually returned to her original personality of laughter. The last world she was on was Traverse Town.
Mind: She is strong-willed and funny. She has a strong devotion to friends, but tries not to make them out of fear from her past. She likes to make people laugh, but doesn't trust easily. She doesn't believe too much in hope anymore, but lives in the present or her tasks. She gets angry quickly and prefers settling things with violence. When she gets angry, she doesn't stop until it's settled. Deep down, all she wants is a best friend who can listen and comfort her. As for love interest, she'd prefer someone who can share in her sorrow and also challenge her in enough ways to get happy again.
Physical: She has red hair that reaches to her neck. Her eyes are extremely pale blue. She is about 5'6''. She's also 18. Her face seems a bit like a deer's, it's rounded slightly, but not fat at all. She has a mysterious rune on her forehead. She's about as wiry as Maioko.
Clothes: She has a white, knee-level skirt with a small split on the side for mobility. Under this are shorts. She has a loose black shirt reaching a bit below the waist. In front is the Kingdom Hearts symbol with out the crown, and in back is a Heartless symbol without the X. She also has two vertical slits on the back of her shirt. Over her shirt is a cape that's amber on the outside and emerald on the inside. She has her two swords in an X on top. She has a ruby on a string on her neck. She wears gripping/running shoes. She also has wrist guards, but no gloves.
Magic: She casts all types of magic, but specializes in ice. She can use materia, but also summons Ramuh, Mushu, who has the split personality of Ifrit, Shiva, and an extremely powerful divine dragon later on. She's the only one that can combo with summoned monsters aside from the heartless. Since she's half angel, she can transform, but for the moment it requires mp.
Specials: Her speed is extreme, but at the cost of a bit of attack power. However, she has quick and powerful defenses. She also has the double slash power combo, along with her summon combos. She can use her two types of weapons in tandem, along with their elements. In her angel form, when she runs out of mp, she shoots her feathers out like darts. If Acronos is in his devil form at the same time as her angel form, they can perform the Heaven & Hell combo. Her angel mode is different in its attacks from her normal form.
Weapon: Her weapons are a water spear and two electric swords. The water spear looks like a standard spear, except that the pole is an unbreakable crystal with moving water in it, and the point is water energy that hurts really badly, it's about 5'. The blade is 1' long, and the end is a small metal point. The two swords are in the broadsword style; they are each 2'10'' long in total, each has 2'4'' of blade, the hand guards are lightning bolts going diagonally to the blade, the handles are thin cloth wrapped tightly around, ending in a sphere. Lightning crackles up and down the blades at all times, and extremely when there is an ambush or enemies to fight.
Kairi: You should know
Past: This is all a guess. She was the princess of Hollow Bastion until it was taken over by the heartless and she was transported to Destiny Islands. Okay here's a connection, if Ansem was the king of Hollow Bastion, (If you don't believe me, Aerith said it during Sora's first visit to Traverse Town, after fighting Leon), and Kairi was the princess, (How else could Kairi be there in her youth to hear her grandmother's story? After Neverland and talking to Cid), what are they to each other…? I read somewhere that in a special Ansem's report, (Final Mix or something?) he mentions sending an experiment to locate the keyblade master. I think him sending Kairi sounds about right for him. Her not remembering may have been a flaw. There's plenty of evidence for this, as I've shown. Growing up on Destiny Islands would be a bit boring to explain.
Mind: She's a happy person with a pure heart. She's caring, but is human. She enjoys a challenge as well. She likes Sora and is glad to search for him. By the way, just to please more people, she's not completely certain of her feelings, yet.
Physical: How do you not know this? Just start a new game if you don't; she's the red head. She's about 5'1'', I guess. She's now 15.
Clothes: No change aside from changing the skirt to longer shorts of the same color.
Magic: Defensive and healing. She knows Firaga and Ultima, but they're weak. She can use materia, and can learn Bahumat, Neo Bahumat, Alexander, and Arc. Her specialty is light and holy magic.
Specials: She does chain spins, wrapping with her chain, and hitting the entire field with her chain for specials. Also, she has long and short-range attacks, she can use Heart of Pure Light, and knows how to use power blasts.
Weapon: She has a wood-colored staff that is actually three smaller ones connected by chains that can connect by a joint. The chain is magically enhanced, so it can reach an enormous length at will. The total length is 5', with each segment being 20''.
Yuna: FFX
Past: Play FFX damn you! Um, after the heartless came, since the FFX world was so messed up, the world created its greatest possible warriors on a different world after its core was destroyed, planning to call them back after its restoration. It was unnecessary, so there are now two Yunas'. Umm, this one lived a regular life on Destiny Islands, similar to Earth, but much nicer. There were a few people missing during the raft incident, she was one of them. She's one of the many white mages on Destiny Islands, but she is the best for her age, heck, she's better than many adults!
Mind: She is very caring and so unselfish that it's a fault. While she's around Tidus, her judgment becomes clearer due to the fact that he's one thing she actually wants. However, even through all this, when she needs to, she has a will of steel and is very strong. Though she and Tidus both love each other, they won't admit it, yet.
Physical: Play FFX, it'll save me a lot of trouble. One half of her hair curls up at the end, while the other is straight. In her hair on her right is a small cylinder-shaped decoration, ending in a few beads and a blue feather. She has a green right eye, and a blue left one. Her face is slightly like Selphie's but she has smaller eyes, almond-shaped. She's about an inches below Tidus, uh, 5'3''. She's 14.
Clothes: She wears a white shirt with the back open. It reaches to the waist, barely. She also wears a purple skirt reaching a bit below her knees that has a slit on the left side, with flowers going down the right, and reaching to the left at the base of the skirt. Around her stomach is a yellow sash that ends in a bow on her back. It has a rose towards the left, with two cylinder decorations going down from there. A bit above the elbows to her wrists are sleeves not connected to the sleeve-less shirt, but reach a bit low due to bagginess, and are tied on by purple string at the top. She wears black boots that are about knee high. If you played FFX, you'd have a better description, (Squaresoft had better be happy that I'm advertising their game.)
Magic: Healing, defensive, and a bit of offensive. She's got a specialty in defense. Since she's got a high general magic attribute, her offensive attacks are quite powerful. She can't use materia, but learns all the FFX summons, which I'll mention on that particular world. As for her own personal summon, that's Luna.
Specials: Her extremely good defense with her staff and magic counts as a special. All her summons are stronger than they're supposed to be, but still require training. She can nullify certain elemental attacks for one usage, and can heal everyone at once.
Weapon: She has a blue staff that has a bell at one end, and a yellow circle at the other. Inside the circle are three teardrop shapes. Inside these is one line each, making a small circle. These are all connected to a circle within the larger circle.
Tidus: FFX
Past: His past is about the same as Yuna. He's really good with a sword, beaten only by numbers, professionals, and any master of fighting, (there are several differences between experts and masters, such as that masters know their art, but don't brag.)
Mind: He's very confident, but ever since her got beaten due to the fact that he faced people of his level, he's been more down to Earth, (in the expressional way only) Being around Yuna helps him see the calmer side of things. This lets him strategize better, and be more of a leader. When calm, or with friends, he's very nice, but as a defense to the world, he has the façade of confidence. Oh yeah, from the files of the game, it says that he's cheerful, easily excitable, and gets carried away quickly, I agree.
Physical: C'mon, you should know this if you've played the game. However, he's about 5'4''. He's 14.
Clothes: About the same as before, except that he now wears gloves and yellow and black sneakers, (like Sora's, except smaller, much smaller.)
Magic: Since he's mainly a physical fighter, all he knows is Cure, Fire, strangely enough Ultima, and that's about it. His element of specialty is lightning, so watch out if he ever acquires Thundaga. Since I have basically everyone able to summon something, he can summon Solaris, (Take a note, Luna usually corresponds to the moon, and Sol is a word for sun, I'm not too sure about Solaris, though. Just mentioning it.)
Specials: He can increase everyone's attack and defense. He can use his Overdrives several times. He may rely on quick attacks and fast moves, but he has higher attack power than speed.
Weapon: He uses a long sword, but it isn't too big, maybe a bit bigger than his pole. It's red, with a white cloth handle. It has a brown hand guard, but it's more of a connection between the blade and handle than a guard. I'd guess that it's about 3', with about 7'' of handle. It starts out as a regular sword, but then has only one side thin out and continue, at the end it thickens heavily, ends in a point, and curves back thinly to the point where the sides separated. In short, it's a normal broadsword with a thicker point that has an opening in the middle, which isn't actually connected at both points. While it's red, the sharper edge is gray. It was a birthday gift.
Auron: FFX
Past: Similar to Tidus in how he got to Destiny Islands. He's one of the best swordsmen on the Islands. He was only beaten by Acronos and a few masters.
Mind: He acts much older than he is. He's also tall, so he's considered an adult on the Islands. He's experienced and is willing to give advice, however, he does tend to get irritated quickly. He's only dangerous to a dumbass that doesn't understand that he's pissed. He'll tell you he is, but calmly at first. Woe betide you if you incur his wrath. Almost everything about him is calm. He's a loner and is confident, but won't ever brag. He's friends with several of the adults, mainly because he's like them. He has a sense of justice and loyalty, and won't break a promise if at all possible. He's a great friend, but is a bit stoic.
Physical: He's got a square-like head. He has almond-shaped eyes that are brown. He's rather muscular, and has a scar over his right eye. You wouldn't know it, though. He's about 5'8''. His hair is brown and spiky on the top and sides. He's 19.
Clothes: He wears a red trench coat with a high collar hiding his mouth, and sunglasses hiding his eyes. On his left shoulder is a brown guard with a few designs on it, on its back is a strand of beads ending in a tuft of gray. His right arm has the trench coat tied on by a belt. On the left are two belts, but he has his left arm in the coat like a sling, so it's unused. His right arm is wrapped by bandages, and has a guard starting at the wrist. He has a glove on his right hand only. He wears his trench coat loosely, and underneath is a chest plate that's black. Around the stomach is a black sash, with gray and blue on the sides. Attached is a gray jug of water with a cork in the top. He wears black sweat pants, and black boots with a bit of metal at the ankle. Why don't you play FFX, it'd save me so much trouble, dammit!
Magic: He barely knows gravity. He relies on his skills mainly. He can't use materia, but learns to summon Mars, the god of war. His specialty is gravity.
Specials: He can defend people and himself with a skill; he can weaken his enemy's stats with certain attacks, and can use his very strong Overdrives many times.
Weapon: He uses a massive katana. It's about as big as he is, and twice as wide as a normal katana. It has a triangle hand guard that starts at the end of the handle.
Wakka: FFX
Past: If it says FFX, do I have to explain it? Well, other than the existence part, he plays Blitzball, (he learnt it recently and he and Tidus show a talent for it) and tries to be the big brother of everyone on the Islands, and everyone does see him that way, except the new people and Auron, who's the oldest, aside from Tifa.
Mind: He is a kind guy, with a good heart, but he is quite strict to tradition. He is a bit simple and tends to like physical tasks more than mental. He's a bit stubborn.
Physical: Aside from what you should know, he's 16 and 5'6''.
Clothes: Don't you know?
Magic: Fira, blizzara, thundara, watera, Cura, drain, and osmose. He's okay, but prefers his weapon more. He specializes in ground-type magic. He summons Titan.
Specials: He has long and short-range attacks at the same time, his overdrives, and he can increase everyone's accuracy. He also does status-inflicting attacks. His overdrives are elemental attacks, double or triple attacks, or status inflictions, that home in on the target and are hard to dodge, (so sue me for not having Aurochs Reels and knowing how to describe them!).
Weapon: Since his ass kicking by Acronos, Wakka has modified his simple Blitzball. It now has a sort of rope attached to it. It's on a small wheel so that it always comes back, and much quicker, plus now it can be used as a mace.
Lulu: FFX
Past: She's from the only black mage family on the Islands. Everyone who's younger than her is afraid of her aside from Acronos, Maioko and Wakka.
Mind: She's got a tough exterior, and a tough interior too. She's like the big sister who'll kick your butt if you screw up. Also like a big sister, she has a warm heart, but only on rare occurrences. She is strict to tradition and likes mental things.
Physical: An oval face, with long black hair going up to a bun with four metal pins sticking out, and then going down in four braids. Also, some hair is left to cover her left eye. Her eye is brown, but seems more amber than brown, however, they're nowhere near Acronos' devil forms' shining crimson eyes. She has mainly circle earrings, with one being a small red circle on each ear. She has purple lipstick, and three necklaces, one that's white beads, one red and black segments, the other is bigger purple beads connected by smaller yellow ones. She's 17 and 5'5''. You can't tell if how thin she is because of the dress.
Clothes: A black shirt that is open on top showing the shoulders, below this is a sort of trench coat, since it's a rather short skirt that doesn't quite reach the knees, but the back is long, like a trench coat or a cape. Her shirt has long sleeves that are baggy towards the arms. She also wears a purple bead necklace.
Magic: Quite simply everything, and quite powerful at that. She specializes in Darkness-type magic. Despite the title of black mage, she knows defensive and healing, ("You never know"). She learns to summon Hades, but can't use materia.
Specials: Her insane arsenal of magic is one, her ability to use magic creatively, i.e.: writing in flames, freezing only a portion of something, creating a small jolt to awaken someone, the reverse gravity spell. She can increase the magic defense and power of everyone at once, and can also increase evasion.
Weapon: What she usually does is cast a small burst of air to damage someone, and also her magically created staff. She can use these even when silenced.
Selphie: FFVIII
Past: Okay, know this, by my guess, (and need for sense in this fic); Destiny Islands tends to attract people with huge destinies, or those that have completed theirs. For instance, since Selphie finished her life-or-genocide part in destiny, and her world was complex, she was born a second time, sort of like payment. This is even truer because her world was destroyed, (that's my excuse for everything!). The Hollow Bastion thing happened to Leon/Squall, uh, maybe because he was destined to teach Sora? Oh yeah, did I mention that nobody has any recollection of their past lives, (but then again, neither do we if we have them)? Oh yeah, on Destiny Islands, she's just a regular fighter, but she's known as the gossip/romantic. She does tend to take mercenary-like jobs, and that's how she met Irvine.
Mind: She loves romance and irony. She's kind, and always tries to play matchmaker. Even though she makes matches for fun, she actually has a good sense of these things. Oh yeah, she's not serious; instead she's very hyper. She's also a bit over-confident and dramatic. She tends to annoy and tease people sometimes, but it's all for fun and everyone knows it. She's an innocent, well maybe not depending how you look at it.
Physical: Pay attention to the game! Uhh, I'd gather she's 5' at 14.
Clothes: Same as in the game, but the dress will be an inch longer.
Magic: She uses all kinds of magic, but it's mainly from drawing it from someone or something else, and can use these drawn spells directly on the offender, using their mp! She can use magic materia only. She specializes in water magic, and due to this learns Leviathan.
Specials: The varying lengths of her attacks are useful. Her drawn magic is unique, as well as her nunchachu attacks. She can use one Limit Break, a slot machine that can inflict statuses, hit with magic, summon, or annihilate the enemy at once.
Weapon: She uses a nunchachu, which, as you'll find most chained weapons in my story are able, can lengthen its chain with a little magic.
Irvine: FFVIII
Past: Similar to Selphie's, he's an expert marksman. He hasn't missed a non-living target yet. He showed a talent for this at an early age.
Mind: He's a romantic too, but more of a flirt. He's rather nice, but prefers getting out of jobs he deems unnecessary. If he sees something as necessary, (money helps), consider it done. He's one of those smooth talking people, and isn't ever serious, but isn't hyper either. He's confident in his abilities.
Physical: He has brown eyes, and a face that always seems to be smiling. He's 5'2''. He has brown, more towards chestnut hair in a long ponytail, and he's 15.
Clothes: He has a sand-colored trench coat with a bit of a fur trim around the neck, black shoes, beige pants, black shirt, and a black cowboy hat with buttons going around it.
Magic: Draws magic, and can use all types of it. He can use magic and support materia. His specialty is fire, and can summon a flame human/dragon.
Specials: He has excellent aim, now a short-range knife, his draw, and Limit breaks of unstoppable elemental and energized shots.
Weapon: His double-barreled shotgun, and a combat knife.
Tifa: FFVII
Past: After the events of the game, a month past, and then the heartless took it. Since that world had a living consciousness, it made its greatest warriors younger, revived one, (Aerith/Aeris), and sent them to other worlds with no memory. Cloud managed to save some of this consciousness, also known as the Lifestream. Tifa lived in Hollow Bastion for a while with Cloud, Leon/Squall, Yuffie, Cid, and Aerith. She would have admitted her feelings to Cloud, but Aerith had similar intentions, so they both stopped each other in a variety of humorous pranks that sometimes involved Cloud. Eventually Hollow Bastion was taken as well, and Tifa was bumped along to various worlds. She stopped on Destiny Islands, on the day they were destroyed, so she was stuck in limbo. Now she's the main adult on the Islands, and is almost unbeatable. She taught several people, including Kairi, who's her best student simply because she puts her all into it.
Mind: She's very kind and caring, with a sense of justice. She gets scared somewhat quickly though, but deals with it. She's bright and optimistic, tries to take care of everyone and cheer him or her up when they're down. She knows many things on varying subjects. She's been through hell, and she's still smiling.
Physical: She has an oval face, is 5'6'', has dark-brown hair reaching a bit below the waist, and has slightly red-brown eyes. Despite being thin, she's got, uh, effective feminine features. Her hair reaches a bit below her waist, and is tied by some rope and splits into two ends.
Clothes: Black shorts reaching five inches above the knees, a white, loose tank top reaching about waist-length. Reddish boots with steel tips, black socks, red gloves, and a black sort-of sleeve going out of the gloves, but not reaching above the elbows. She has an elbow-guard on her left arm, and a belt on the shorts. She also has a small locket with a picture of all her friends from Hollow Bastion around her neck.
Magic: Materia mainly, but also cure. She has no specialty, but can summon Carbuncle.
Specials: She uses her unbelievably strong Limit Breaks often as a special. She occasionally uses throws, energy attacks, long-range punches, and punch combos as well.
Weapon: If training or something of that sort, all she uses is a gauntlet, but when fighting, she uses the Premium Heart, which I described in the last chapter. Like Maioko, however, most of her body is a weapon, but she prefers her fists.
ConceptsGummi ships and save points: Let me explain how I see this. Normally, at a world exit, there's a garage for working on gummi ships. However, most worlds don't have exits, so you have to use a save point. What then is a save point, you might ask? Well, I see it as a concentration of magic from a world, like pressure points in the human body. Since Earth has very little magic, there are no save points. Since they are a concentration of magic, they allow you to do extraordinary things like make your gummi ship. Constructing the gummi ship is just piecing together smaller pieces in the exact shape of your gummi parts, and the process is imitated out in space. True customization must be done from the inside of the real ship, but for some it's definitely worth it. Also, their other function, saving as it is called in the game, is just having experiences of the battle without actually doing it, sorta like déjà vu.
Magic: As to the usage of magic in FFX, Kingdom Hearts, and also my original characters, I believe that it is the mind influencing energy to create a certain effect, like telekinesis of energy instead of matter. This takes a toll on the body, and the mind's willpower, which is named mp. As to Tifa's use of magic only by materia, as well as in FFVII, Materia uses living consciousness, so it is a sort of mind outside the body, but it is tuned to only one function, and it takes willpower to use this magic. As to Lulu, Acronos, and Maioko's ability to use creative magic, I believe that it is the mind taking control over matter, and also specific control over a certain element to do one specific thing. This takes up a large amount of mp and is difficult to control, to give some examples; the reverse gravity spell is the easiest and least mp consuming, because it's the most general and similar to a spell, however, creating a transformation from one form to another in something, like Donald did for Sora in Atlantica, takes up tons of magic and energy and is difficult to get just right, you must be an experienced mage to do this properly. As to Selphie and Irvine's use of different magic, they consume their memory of how the spell is used, so when they run out of the spell, all they remember is how the spell looks and its name, but not how to use it. How they Draw a spell is simply taking the memory from someone else, but doing this on someone who has the spell permanently learnt, like Acronos, results in just taking the mp requirement for the spell and being able to use it a few times.
Worlds: The worlds are slightly sentient, consisting of a heart and mind, as well as will. They originally were mere expressions of energy and will, but they created their physical substance, including a small universe within it. Since all worlds are originally energy, one would find them to be stars once they aren't connected to interspace. Some worlds were gifted with more energy than the rest, and created a full universe to explore within themselves, instead of a mere galaxy like most ones, the master keyblades are attracted to this energy and situate themselves at the core. Oh yeah, I guess that the worlds that created universes must have expended their energy creating them, so they had too little excess to create magic, magic can be brought from the outside, but it's more difficult to use. It is currently theorized that if by some miraculous chance, we were to break out of our universe, (I'm talking about real theories here) we would be annihilated totally, because whatever's out there, be it another universe, or total emptiness between two universes, is working under a completely different set of physical laws, so we'd cease to exist, either as we are now, or totally. I say that this is the barrier, and also the fact that the universe doesn't exactly have a wall to puncture, it just loops around. The barrier is simply a physical loop, since anything going outside would be operating at a different frequency than the other worlds/universes and would be destroyed. Acronos' keyblade dispels this loop, and also causes everything to be on the same frequency as everything else, however, this takes a huge toll on him, but he won't notice or show it unless he unseals three worlds consecutively without resting, then his fighting ability is compromised.
Summons/summoning: To summon a monster is both different and quite similar to using magic. It requires mp, and controls something, but it has no immediate effect and has a physical form. Also, it requires an intimate knowledge of the being you are going to summon. Anyone can theoretically summon, but some are just better at getting in touch with the beings. Certain summons, however, are derived from your soul itself, so they are easy to summon, but hard to learn, since recognizing your soul is rather difficult. As an example, do you currently, or have you ever, for more than a few minutes, known exactly where your soul would lead you, or even what you were going to do for certain? I'd venture to say that not too many people would answer yes to this, but to those that did: Good job! Anyway, summons are concentrated spirit, focusing itself into a form that suits it best. Sometimes many spirits choose a similar form, and are recognized as one thing, such as Bahumat, Ifrit, Shiva, and Odin. This doesn't matter so much, for each is different. As to Acronos' heartless summoning, his symbol absorbs energy, and since darkness is energy, it can absorb that. The point is that certain heartless are pure darkness, and can be absorbed as a whole, instead of their hearts. Most heartless have a core of darkness, but are in themselves a different form of energy. Some delved into darkness enough to be fully so and obey themselves and Dev only, well, actually, her and the deities of darkness. Acronos can absorb them as a whole and project them as a summon. With regular heartless, only their hearts can be absorbed, but since Acronos isn't darkness, but not quite light, the hearts give him a boost in dark energy, but too much and it harms him. To absorb a heart from a living heartless requires a sacrifice of light energy, so it does even more harm to him, so he rarely uses it. When transformed this isn't the case.
Keyblade Masters and Wielders: I have thought about it, and decided that if Sora's keyblade seals worlds permanently and from everything, while Riku's unseals the heart to darkness until death, why shouldn't there be keyblades to unseal worlds and seal hearts? Also, what about a keyblade that doesn't disappear when someone with a strong heart appears? In fact, theoretically, anyone can use Sora's keyblade, if he, Riku, and King Mickey are knocked out. So, for plot's sake, I crushed them together to form a keyblade that can unseal and seal, and that remains with its wielder faithfully. Since I have often heard Sora called the "Wielder of the Key", and to have a keyblade with mastery over all its powers requires someone very strong, I thought, "Why shouldn't there be a difference between the user of my keyblade, and Sora? What if it went in ranks? Wielder: (Sora) seals the worlds from darkness, Master: (Acronos) unseals worlds to light, Master then assists Wielder to open the door of light." For if you remember, the voice told Sora that he'd be the one to open the door to light, and I'm not about to mess with that. I went off track, so back to the basics: a keyblade master is a person capable of wielding a keyblade with mastery over its powers, and they have only one keyblade, they can't use another keyblade properly, and a wielder is a person with a rather strong heart, consisting of mainly one element, either light or darkness, who can wield any other keyblade properly, but can't use all a keyblade's powers. One thing for any keyblade user, they must have their heart in balance towards one direction, which provides a decent explanation of why Leon can't use a keyblade even though he's quite powerful, his heart isn't fully balanced.
Well, that about wraps it up.
Acronos: "Interesting."
Maioko: "I didn't know a lot of that stuff."
Riku: "Kinda boring."
When did you escape the fangirls?
Riku: "About two minutes ago."
Acronos: "I've noticed that you cram many events into periods of time."
Yeah, but I only need to do that to describe details or the past.
Sora: "How come I don't have a profile?"
Cloud: "Yeah, we were characters in the original game!"
I know, but as of now, you won't play major roles. Sora, you will play a part, but I think everyone knows the stuff about you, and besides, you're not in the main group, at least for a while.
Sora: "Why not?"
A) Plot's sake, B) Makes you look a bit cooler to adopt the mysterious disappearance act, and C) It'll help plot development, I can sense several useful events with you being gone on the horizon.
Sora: "Oh, okay."
Riku: "Hey author?"
Yeah? (POW!) ARGH! Dammit! Why'd you hit me with a kitchen sink! ?
Riku: "Payback."
Acronos: "Well, how many times have we defied physics now narrator?"
Narrator: "Counting the story or not?"
Acronos: "Not."
Narrator: "One…two…three… Ah ha! About 14 times in this chapter alone. (Right as Riku is about to hit the author with a chunk of rock, his legs turn to jelly, literally!) Make that 16, counting Riku picking up a chunk of rock twice his size, and then having his legs turn to jelly."
Grape jelly, to be precise.
Acronos: "And I care…why?"
I suppose.
Riku: "Turn my legs back or I'll tear you to pieces!"
Now that's not a nice thing to say. Just for that I'm going to get the grape-jelly-loving fangirls to attack you, they're even worse.
Riku: "(Gulp) how about a truce?"
Okay, whatever. (Turns Riku to normal) Anyway, that about wraps this chapter up, so for anyone reading this… Review!!
