How does he come to be there? Other worlds are not well known, there isn't really anyone besides keyblade wielders who travel between them. I'm trying to think of a way to make it work with the plot without stretching it too much.
Since we're not planning to travel there, Halloween Town could very well have been destroyed, this would also give your character a similar motivation to the others. This works well with our first "world" that we visit, too.
Minor spoilers, but the first place we appear is on a ship that has been charged by Auldus to travel the void between worlds and collect those who have survived destroyed worlds. When this ship collects us, your character could already be on it.
EDIT: I started this post like "I dunno, man, it's a serious problem" and ended it like "actually, here's what we do."
EDIT Numero Dos: Also, your character could be a useful exposition tool, too.
So the answer is yes, if you're okay with Halloween Town being bye bye.

Once I've approved two more characters, I'll throw up an OOC.

"Remember, In The Darkest Hours, There Is Always A Way Out."
- Assistant Magi Gale, Apprentice of the High Magi
- Name -
Gale
- Age -
16
- Keyblade: -
Star Light is a long-ranged Keyblade that specializes in conducting Magic as well as being easy to wield for a beginner; it's colors consist mostly of shades of blues and a few gold shades, blue's a color that's inspired by his levelheadedness and cool personality, yet the gold symbolizes his high social ranking back in Sunrise City, and finally the star motif of the Keyblade symbolizes Gale's optimism. The Keychain is an everlasting reminder for Justice for Sunrise City as it was a symbol of the City's Magi's.
- Fighting Style -
Gale later on will rely on Magical spells and being at a distance from the fight, his current fighting ability is very limited; while his magical strength is very high and dangerous as well as being decent at dodging; he is very physically uncoordinated.
With his Keyblade, he'd be a powerful spell caster as it conducts magic for real rather then the magi who has previous tried to use other items as magic conduits, it never worked; sadly his Melee attacks are incredibly clumsy and wild. His swings are far too wide and erratic, leaving large openings when he fights up close, he mostly uses his Keyblade to launch small targets away to finish them off from a safe distance, and with larger targets he uses it to stun and give himself some breathing room and pelt them with elemental attacks from afar later on; right now he relies on allies to do damage and deal with tougher enemies. He is terrible at dealing with larger groups of Heartless due to his lack of fighting prowess. He tries to avoid using his Keyblade as a blade as long as he can, but's he willing to learn how to better wield if somebody was willing to teach him how.
Besides being a potentially powerful magic user, he's a historian by trade; he has a natural curiosity for people's and place's past and he always knows where to dig where to learn more. He knows lots about Sunrise city's past and the past of the other Characters, to a degree. (if that's okay with everybody) So when ever he visits a new world he wants to learn that world's past and the past of the major players in it. So when ever he visits a world with lot of history he will try to learn more about's it past, which might lead to the main bad guy or other problems that would be missed otherwise (if that's okay with you Gisk)
- Background -
Gale was raised by the upper crust of Sunrise City; He was raised in luxury and privilege as he was the adopted son of the High Magi a magically and socially powerful woman, named, Celica. He doesn't know his blood parents, nor does he wishes to learn about them as he is happy with his adopted mother. All he knows about them is that they were follow Magi like himself and his mother.
His Mother made Gale her assistant once he was old enough; teaching him her vast knowledge of Sunrise City and the secrets and theories of magic, as well as teaching him tranquility, morality, and finding joy where ever he finds himself in. Tranquility was a necessary lesson to master the spells she taught him, his morals compass was already strong even without her lessons; and he was always an optimistic person seeing the best in any situation and most people. But he lacked courage in the face of danger and risks.
The Magi's were a group of varying wealth and social standing, they were the keepers of history and the searchers of magic in Sunrise City. But their numbers were dwindling in recent years, due to lack of interest from the general populace; as they felt the need for history keeping and researching magic were impractical in the modern age. But nevertheless the Magi kept doing their duty even if they weren't appreciated it was a duty not a hobby. Every book remembered is more important then any material good.
Gale was never really close to others his own age, he often felt different and unable to connect to them, even if he wanted to. Sometimes when he wanted to learn more about a person around his own age he would follow them from a distant and learn more about them trying to gather the courage to go up and talk to them like a normal youth.
But soon he realized he would never get the chance to talk to them like a normal teen. Soon everything he would know would be consumed by darkness. And he was left as a candlelight in the inky darkness with a few others. He hopes he can befriend these other's candlelights and hopefully start ablaze a roaring flame of hope.
- Plot Hook -
I would like to see Gale learning more about the other worlds and their pasts and maybe learn a connection between these other worlds and Auldus. He also wants to improve his swordplay and courage, as well as become friends with the other Keyblade users and the people from other worlds. Another Short term idea for Gale is him confirming and learning how to wield magic.
For Gale's endgame plan I want him to restart the Magi's and try to relearn everything lost and remember everything that has happened. Or Battle the darkness until his very last breath.

@Gisk Can I RP as a sentient Heartless with a keyblade? Something sorta like... (Mostly making this up as heartless lore is extremely poor) Heartless that started to turn on other heartless to get their hearts, maybe after finding a keyblade or something of that sort. And the keyblade finding made them sentient. Or just being alive long enough before figuring out that its much faster to get hearts from other heartless, which gave them more sentience, or something. Not sure how much of the KH stuff works beyond 2 or 358/2 and I'm tired. I'll prob have something more coherent if your up for the idea.
Of course they are a bit ashamed of being a heartless, so they hide it from everyone. Would be a neat plottwist down the line.

Gale tends to rely on Magical spells and being at a distance from the fight, his current fighting ability is mostly pelting Heartless with powerful spells until they're defeated or weak enough for allies to pick off; his magical strength is very high and dangerous and he is decent at dodging attacks and casting spells quickly, even when he's hit by a moderately damaging attack.
With his Keyblade, he's a powerful spell caster as it conducts magic much better then anything he used previously and the fact it's a real weapon instead of a book or a piece of wood helps; yet his Melee attacks are incredibly clumsy and wild. His swings are far too wide and erratic, leaving large openings when he fights up close, he mostly uses his Keyblade to launch small targets away to finish them off from a safe distance, and with larger targets he uses it to stun and give himself some breathing room and pelt them with elemental attacks from afar. He is great at dealing with large groups of Heartless due to the nature of his spells. He tries to avoid using his Keyblade as a blade as long as he can, but's he willing to learn how to better wield if somebody was willing to teach him how.

I don't want any characters having prior experience, but here's what we can do: magic is a sort of lost art in Sunrise, And the Magi are a group dedicated to rediscovering its secrets.
This keeps their nature essentially the same, without allowing your character too much of a leg up. We can also say that his theoretical knowledge of magic helps him use it with much greater ease when he gets his keyblade.

I don't think that will work, only like one heartless has ever kept their normal form, and we don't know why. Plus, it takes a strong heart to wield a keyblade, and a heartless is a heart that has succumbed to the darkness, I just don't think it meshes.

I like Gale a lot; I think he doesn't only stand alone as a good character himself; But he could also be a big help for Kupori down the road. She could probably help toughen him up, too.
As far as I'm concerned, this is perfectly okay. If there's anything beyond what is in my CS that you'd like to know before the roleplay starts, I can PM you stuff. Though she isn't exactly special or secretive in the slightest, her life was pretty straight-forward; So I can't exactly say that you'll know anything truly interesting to Gale personally that you couldn't get from my CS.

Aww~ I'm glad you like him already!
And that's good to hear, Rad!
Well I'm planning on making the other playable characters the one's Gale wanted to befriend; he just never had the courage to befriend them; he only knows public information and rumors about the other character's so he won't know their secrets or anything like that.
I like the idea of Kupori and Gale's being friends and eventually helping each other with their respective skills and knowledge!

Ah, alright. I ought to be able to give Gale a little bit to work with once we get to the IC; But I have a few things I'll be leaving unclear until then, for the sake of Kupori not entirely being exposed right away.
Considering that they are the complete opposites in combat, they can help even each-other out down the road, for sure. Though it's going to be a part of Kupori's character that she isn't good with magic; So her improvements will probably be pretty minor.
OP
@RokkuHoshi Yeah, lemme see a CS and we can get that worked out.
One more CS(whether Rokku's or someone else's) and I'll make the OOC, and the IC as well.

@Gisk Hm, maybe the heartless thing works if say, a keyblade noticed that there was a heartless fighting other haertless, and decided to help it, giving it sentience and all that fun stuff. After all, its the keyblade that chooses the person and whatnot.
Plus it would REALLY match well with the title. Whats more unnatural than a heartless with a keyblade? xD

Name: Sonus Roarfang
Age: 16
Appearance: Sonus stands at approximately 5'4" with short, spiky, death-white hair that hangs over his left eye and eyes with black sclera, bright yellow irises and deep orange pupils. He wears tattered black jeans that fit tight, a white t-shirt, a black denim vest, and mummy-like wrappings around his arms and neck.
Keyblade: Being longer than most keyblades, Sonus has quite a reach with Screaming Heart, with it standing to his shoulders when placed on the ground. The "blade" of the keyblade appears to be the arm of a mummy, with the fist holding a laughing pumpkin to make the keyhead. The handle seems to be a pair of ribs, with more ribs making the guard. Where the handle, guard and blade meet, there sits an orange heart with a jack-o-lantern face. At the opposite end of the guard sits an inverted Heartless symbol with its colors swapped. The chain is rather short, only being as long as his thumb and pinky finger outstretched. At the end of the chain sits another jack-o-lantern faced orange heart.
Fighting Style/specialty: Sonus tends to hack and slash more than shoot his spells. His stance is unconventional, his keyblade backwards in his hand and pointing away from the enemy. When attacking, he spins rather quickly, aiming for multiple strikes in the same area, each one being deeper than the last.
Background: Sonus grew up in Halloweentown with his mother and father. Everyone looked up to Jack in hopes the next Halloween would be better than the last. Everyone knows this part of the story.
What nobody knows is the year Jack tried letting the Heartless help, they lost the world. Sonus was one of the few who made it out. He doesn't remember how. He remembers the Heartless cornering him near Jack's house before everything went black.
Plot Hook: Often trying to disappear from the group during their travels to seek information on anyone from his home.

@RokkuHoshi The background is gonna have to be cut a bit short here. He would be swallowed up by the darkness as the world ends, much like Sora in the beginning of the first game. Next thing he jnkws, he's being pulled roughly onto the deck of a ship and dragged into a cabin cramped with others.
The RP will start with a dream sequence like those in the games, and that is where the keyblade will come to him.
Okay, assuming changes are forthcoming, we will get kicked off tomorrow. I am in PM talks with one other fella, but I can insert him later if need be.

Name: Faira
Age: 16
Appearance:
Keyblade:
Fighting Style/specialty: The tough girl, Faira won't flinch from taking a hit, even ones she could and should have avoided. Her keyblade is heavy and sturdy, and she'll swing it fiercely just as often as she'll bring it up to block.
Background: She was raised by a single father, who had to spend a lot of his time working to keep their home and feed the two of them. Left without supervision, and without a more feminine role model, Faira ended up hanging out with a lot of street toughs. Teenage hooligans known for their general trouble making capacity.

No, or sort of. It's my character, I didn't include any plot hooks because I don't plan to put too much focus on her. So I guess NPC isn't too inaccurate.
