OMAKE!

-This is just an omake (extra) chapter to clarify a few things, and to mess around.

READ THE STORY FIRST IF YOU HAVEN'T!!!

Rough Approximations of Power Levels for OCs, as per KH bosses -note: these are only strength approximations; who would win in a contest of strength. It does not reflect on who would actually win in single combat.

Normal State unless otherwise stated (All): roughly equivalent to Sora/Riku

Normal (Roy): Riku II (Kingdom Hearts - Proud Mode)

Finishing Classes

-skills go from Lv1 to Lv4, with 'Mastery' being the highest (Lv5). Roy, Amy, and Lance's classes are LV5 (Transcendent Classes); all others are LV4 (Limit Classes). Transcendent Classes grant the ability to exceed the Limits of Power; Limit Classes skirt along the Limits of Power without exceeding them. Roy was origninally able to exceed the Limits of Power in Part 2 because of his unique destiny-shifting nature; he is now able to do it normally.

Roy: Exalted Blademaster (Sword Mastery; Aura Mastery)

Amy: Divine Valkyrie (Sword Mastery; Light Magic Mastery)

Jake: Shadow Ranger (Stealth Skill Lv2; Sword Skill Lv2; Nature Magic Lv3)

Aegle: Valkyrie (Light Magic Lv2)

Jason: Guardian Ronin (Sword Skill Lv3)

Serentiy: White Sage (Light Magic Lv4)

Sora: Divine Guardian (Defensive Mastery; Red Magic Mastery; Sword Skill Lv4)

Riku: Shadow Lord (Dark Magic Lv4; Sword Mastery)

Kairi: Valkyrie (Light Magic Lv2)

Lance (Dead): Dark Lord (Dark Magic Mastery; Sword Mastery; Nature Magic Mastery; Aura Mastery)

Closing Notes

To understand why Lance blames Roy for much of what happened, one must look at things metaphorically and figuratively. If Lance was the 'puppetmaster,' then Roy was a broken string; as such, Lance's plans were nearly constantly changing in response to Roy's actions. His 'breaking of destiny' or 'delaying of destiny' caused Lance's plans to generally fail, and as such he was the puppetmaster of a broken puppet.

While the others are done, expect to see some future but minor appearances from Roy, and two possible Pirates chapters featuring all of the main characters, as well as a Jake/Oryx duel alluded to in 50x.
