Ok so I was on vacation the other day in Tennessee (I'm in a different state now) and there wasn't any Internet in the cabin I was staying in so I decided that I would read through my own story (Yeah I was so bored I willingly decided to read this story) and when I was done I was just like D***!! There's a lot of important stuff in there that was mentioned once and was like poof, gone! So here I've a guide sorta thingy for all the important stuff and hopefully this'll help clear up some foggier parts.
Lauren- The second Keyblade bearer, was anorexic and best friends with a girl named Erika, but hasn't seen her since her world was destroyed, about five years previous. Has serious issues with the Demons, and is now being hunted down by the Demon Lord. Her Dark Being is Fury, and is the most powerful Dark Being in existence. She was killed by the Demon Lord and Fury resurrected her, which is why they now share a body (to some extent). When she awoke she had very few memories about herself. She doesn't know her age or last name even. Dating Riku (and they are a cute couple indeed XD)
Fury- Lauren's Dark Being, and the most powerful Dark Being there is. Fights with a deadly black sword that holds the power of black lightning in it. Was born when Lauren's world was attacked by the Heartless and Lauren first summoned her Keyblade. Lived for about thirteen years in the Demon Realm, with the Demon population (duh) and was marked as an assassin (see Demon Ranks down below), which is the reason for the red streak in her hair. She resurrected Lauren after betraying the Demon Lord. They have been working together against the Demon's ever since.
Other People Lauren Met- Erika: Lauren's best friend since kindergarten who was last mentioned in this story when they were in 6th grade.
Zack: a member of SOLDIER who found Lauren shortly after her world was destroyed
Cloud: an infantryman conspiring to someday become a member of SOLDIER like his hero and best friend Zack.
Yuffie: First seen in Midgar, as a supporter of Wutai, at a younger age (probably under ten), and then seen years after in Radiant Garden as a young adult (20+)
Aerith: First seen as Zack's unofficial girlfriend, and then seen years later in Radiant Garden as a young adult (20+)
Cid-First seen in Radiant Garden, a man with a knack for repairing and building gummi ships
Leon: First seen in Radiant Garden, a man who wields the Gunblade and works to help destroy the Heartless
KH Crew: Y'all know them
Dark Beings- Dark Beings are usually of the same physique of their Light Being (AKA their name for a human person) except they have paler skin with purple veins filled with a deadly venom that does not have an antidote, which only affects those with beating hearts (AKA humans). They have wings; typically black (Fury's right wing turned white because of the light in Lauren's heart when Fury resurrected her) which they use to fly (go figure). They have superior strength and senses compared to a human (think vampire…). They also have scarlet red eyes with cat slit pupils which they can use to see in the dark and also to detect traces of darkness (like in the last chapter in the alleyway). The have fangs which are used for, obviously, biting and through their fangs they can release venom into a person's blood system. If they survive the Demon Realm they are branded with a colored streak in their hair (more on that later). Their weapons vary depending on their rank, and just what they are best with. Some Dark Beings simply fight hand-to-hand combat style. Dark Beings are incredibly rare because Demons haven't been allowing them to survive in their Realm, and those who do make it are solitary (because they can be). Dark Beings also have the power of Black Fire (definition below).
Demons- Demons are not natural to this Realm, but do serve a purpose here. Their job is to 'devour' the spiritual heart of someone who has died a natural death, which is what makes their death permanent and prevents resurrection. The Keyblade Wars took place when the Demons' most previous leader started sending Demons out to kill people that way they could take their spiritual heart. A spiritual heart gives a Demon a small fraction of the power those with hearts possess, but it eventually wears out overtime, which is why Demons are so hell bent on getting hearts. The current Demon Lord was trying to create an all-powerful army when Fury came along. He planned to give her Lauren's heart which would greatly increase Fury's powers, and make a great army-general-type-person. Fury wasn't interested in having a heart though so she betrayed them. Demons are very similar to Dark Beings in appearance and skills. In fact the only differences between the two would be height, weight, the fact that Demons don't have wings (but are able to jump incredibly high), and that Demons' eyes only turn red when they are angry. A Demon's weapon depends on their rank. Demons also have the power of Black Fire.
Black Fire- Black Fire is basically the life force that all Demons rely on to survive. Their Realm is filled with it, and their leader is in charge of what is called the Demon's Flame, which is a small black flame which is like a mother to all other Black Fires. If the Demon's Flame went out all the other Black Fires would go out in time and all Demons would die. The qualities of Black Fire are; the fire gives off a heat like a regular fire, but if it is touched your skin would freeze, like touching fire ice. The fire is mainly black but if you look closely you can see flashes of blue, purple, and white in it. Dark Beings also gain a dependency on Black Fire during their time in the Demon Realm. Without it they would die too.(this will be mentioned more in the sequel than this story)
Demon Ranks- When a Demon (or Dark Being) is created they are placed in a category of spy, teacher, or assassin, and then are trained according to their category.
An assassin's job is to hunt down and kill whoever their superior tells them (Demon Lord)
A teacher's job is to train new Demons and Dark Beings in ways of fighting, and basic survival of their kind.
When a Demon or Dark Being 'gradates' from their category they are given a streak in their black hair in one of three colors: blue, purple, or red. Blue is the color of a spy (Like Nightshade and Midnight), purple is the color of a teacher (haven't met any of those yet…that you know of), and red is the color of an assassin (like Stardust and Fury)
*Demons and sometimes Dark Beings are often assigned partners on difficult and/or dangerous spy or assassin missions. (Think Nightshade and Midnight)
Midnight- A spy and Nightshade's partner. She reports directly to the Demon Lord and is a great spy, but kind of child-like and borderline ditzy.
Nightshade- A spy and Midnight's partner. She reports directly to the Demon Lord and, between her and Midnight, is the more serious member of the two.
Aros- Not much information on her yet, all we know is that she is basically the number two in command, and spends a lot of time with the Demon Lord (not. like. that.).
Stardust- An assassin who has so far made two appearances, the first time trying to destroy Lauren and almost succeeding (Nightshade and Midnight stopped her), and the second time being in the previous chapter when she attacked a middle-aged man, most likely just to mess with Lauren. She mentioned when she first came into the story that Lauren had killed her partner.
Demon Lord- Wants Lauren, Fury, and anyone else helping them torn to shreds. He was originally out for Lauren because if she died Fury would gain her heart, but then Fury betrayed him and resurrected Lauren, which is why he is now after both of them. He has a terrible hatred for both of them and refuses to let anyone other than himself bring about the death of the two.
Ok so that's pretty much it (warning I was lazy and didn't edit). If you still have any questions PM me or put it in a review. I would like some reviews/opinions on this chapter even though it isn't officially part of the story, mainly because I'd like to know if this was boring, made things more confusion, or if it was helpful and if you guys think I should do it again! Thanks everyone, and I'll update soon!
