D-Link: Ringabel

Job: Blue Mage - power of friendship variant.

Appearance: Blue eyes, black hair, and an understated yet meticulously chosen wardrobe. Cares far too much about how others view him, and his physique and grooming generally reflect that. He aims for an air of Sprezzatura to conceal his need for validation.

History: Born in Florem, "the Land of Radiant Flowers". Males are strictly forbidden from taking up residence in Florem, and so when his single mother gave birth to him, she decided to move to the surrounding outskirts, not wanting to give him or her home up. Although it mostly worked out, she came to regret her decision not to make a clean break with Florem. There are no laws restricting visits to Florem, so he mostly grew up with Florem culture, which is known to be rather superficial. Soon enough Verik had grown into a gregarious flirt, getting into relationships with plenty of girls, and getting into just as many fights with his mother over them. They didn't exactly live a life of glamour, residing in a cabin and living off the land, and he perceived it to be interfering with his relationships. Eventually, however, in his most recent relationship, he had his heart broken over petty reasons, got into a fight with a Red Mage love rival and lost all of his "friends" in the process as he suffered a shameful defeat. He came to better understand why his mother had such resentment for the place, realizing he had no true friends within Florem. Although he hasn't resigned himself to becoming a hermit like his mother, she was all he had for a friend when he fell through a crack in the world and gained a Keyblade.

Name: Canaan

Age: 17

Gender: Male

Race: Human

Home World: The Sorcerer's Apprentice

Key-Weapon: Snake-Eyes. A Keystaff that is held not by its handle but by its long shaft. The teeth of the key serve as the bottom tip that usually rests on the ground, while the key's handle serves as the ornate head of the staff. Snake-Eyes in particular also carries the motif of a snake, with what looks like an ornate cobra coiling its body up and around the shaft and positioning its head in the center of the key's handle.

Magics: Fire, Water, Blizzard, Slow, Reflect

Grand Magic: A unique phenomenon that occurs when repeatedly casting the same spell in rapid succession. It's a form of temporary magical surge that allows the caster to channel the same spell but one tier higher for a single use. At higher levels it can used to cast spells otherwise considered to be inaccessible due to high range of power.

D-Links: Jafar

Job: Black Mage (Prefers to be called a Sorcerer)

Appearance: He's a nimble, scarlet eyed youth with short sandy brown hair, though you rarely see it when his iconic crimson hood is almost always covering it. Underneath that is a basic combination of black shirt, black pants, and dark leather shoes. He's also surprisingly athletic for a mage, able to maneuver himself with a degree with agility and acrobatics not typically seen in one such as himself.

Brief History:
Throughout the ages, a silent shadow war has been waged between the Morganians and Merlineans at the behest of their leaders, Balthazar Blake and Maxim Horvath. The Merlineans believed magic was a force to be used for the betterment of mankind, while the Morganians would instead use their magics for selfish gain and subjugation. Canaan was one such sorcerer under the tutelage of Melvor, a Merlinean. Canaan had been an orphan on the streets until he was found by Melvor, who sensed the magical potential within the boy and took him in as an apprentice. Some years after this, their sanctum came under attack by unfamiliar black creatures, appearing to be commanded by a powerful dark wizard that Melvor recognized as a Horvath. Under any other circumstance, he and his student would have fought the intruders off, but this time Melvor cast a powerful spell that opened a tear in the very world and used his magic to throw his student through it to the other side.

Caught completely off guard, Canaan found himself tumbling down a sandy dune in the middle of a desert. It was nighttime, and he could hear horses in the distance. Canaan tried to return through the tear but it had already vanished. Instead he caught side of two horses approaching a distance dune. Their riders stopped, and after a moment the sandy dunes transformed themselves into the shape of a fierce tiger's head that spoke in an ominous low voice, "Who disturbs my slumber?" one of the riders dismounted and nervously approached. Canaan couldn't make out what the short man said, but could hear the Tiger's response clearly, "Know this: Only one may enter here. One whose worth lies far within. The Diamond in the Rough!" the man looked hesitant, but the second rider appeared to be spurring him forward. Shortly after the man entered the Tiger's mouth, Canaan watched in horror as the living cave became enrage and chomped down on the would-be intruder, apparently killing him.

And yet, the other man didn't seem particularly shocked. The bird on his shoulder flew out and fetched a pair of tiny objects from the sand, too small for Canaan to identify them. Then it flew back and landed back on its master's shoulder. After this, the man turned his horse around rode off into the distance. And then somehow - through some kind of magic he didn't recognize, a name seemed to pop into Canaan's head: Jafar. It had to have been that man's name, and yet how did Canaan suddenly come to know it? At that same instance, an unfamiliar object appeared in his hand. It looked like a key-shaped staff, also bearing the image of a serpent wrapping itself around it. And then it vanished just as suddenly as it appeared. Canaan decided to follow the direction that the man Jafar had rode off into. Likely he would find civilization by doing so. But along the way, the desert started to take its toll. And just as Canaan found himself surrounded by more of those things that attacked him and his master, he collapsed from both the heat and exhaustion.

When he awoke, he found himself elsewhere. He'd been saved by an elderly looking man who held in his hand a key-shaped weapon of his own.

Other: Carries with him a dagger that serves as his Focus, an object that sorcerers in his world use to channel their magic with. And although he is able to use magic through Snake-Eyes, he is also able to do so through the Dagger, and in fact can use both to channel his magic to a stronger degree than he could with either individually.

Name:Rascal
Age:12 mentally, IDK physically
Gender:Male
Race:Anthropomorphic Toy Raccoon
Homeworld:Winnie The Pooh
Key-Weapon:Slingshot
Magics:Flee and Steal
D-Links:Lilo
Job:Thief
Appearance:An average looking raccoon toy, with a black and white “mask” over his eyes, a mostly light gray body with a white belly, and black-furred upper and lower paws. Is about as tall as Roo or Piglet.
Brief History:Rascal was made by a factory machine, as most modern toys are. His stay in the toy shop he was placed in was brief, but he distinctly remembers the toys there bullying him for his shyness and social awkwardness, causing him to draw into himself even more. After being passed over a few times by a few kids, he was eventually bought by Madeline Robin, Christopher Robin’s daughter, and was being brought over to The Hundred Acre Wood proper when he fell through a universe crack.
Other:(Might as well do a brief personality here) Mischievous and sly. Acts cocky and brave, but is secretly still timid and shy. Calls people he doesn’t like and his enemies “losers” as part of his facade. Wants friends more than anything, but isn’t quite sure how to get them yet. Very insecure.

Name: Conner Waters
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Homeworld: Earth (Hawaii) Lilo and Stitch
Key-Weapon: Trident
Magics: Thunder, Water, Aero, Jump
D-Links: Ariel (The Little Mermaid)
Job: Dragoon
Appearance: Conner is tall and lean, standing at exactly six feet tall. He has slender well defined swimmers body that he is very happy to show off. He spends plenty of time out in the sun, and thus has a lightly tanned skin complexion. He has a boyish heart shaped face, with big brown eyes, and a small nose. He keeps his brunette hair spiked up in the front, a style he thinks is cool. He can most often be seen with a grin on his face.

As for clothing, even though Conner comes from a wealthy family, he doesn’t dress the part. He also likes to wear tight fitting tank tops to show off his physique at times. When he fell through the crack, he was wearing a bathing suit, sandals, an unbuttoned flannel shirt, and sunglasses.

Brief History: Conner grew up in an upscale area of Hawaii. Comner was the youngest son of the wealthy and prominent Waters family. His parents were quite strict, and they had high standards for their kids. Conner had an older sister named Arianna, and she was the the apple of the family’s eye, at least it appeared that way to Conner. She was beautiful, talented, intelligent, and it felt like she could do no wrong. To him, it always seemed like anything he could do she could do better.

In his teenage years, Conner gave up trying to live up to the high standards set by his sister. He only did just well enough in school to get by, and spent a lot of time slacking off. He would often act up in class, and get himself into trouble. There were days where he would cut class to go to the beach and surf. Surfing was one of his favorite activities. It was definitely something Arianna wouldn’t do. He enjoyed the thrill and adrenaline high of catching a big wave. That, and he also flirting with the hot guys in swimsuits on the beach.

He continued coasting through life trying to have as much fun as possible. Even though his grades weren’t the best, he was rather popular with other students, and had a few close friends. His parents wished he would put more effort into his studies, and better represent his family name, but Conner didn’t really care to try. His sister was obviously the shining star of the family, so why did they need him for?

He was on the beach when he fell through a crack and gained a keyblade.

Name:Amarantha
Age: 18
Gender:Female
Race: Human
Homeworld: FFX World
Key-Weapon: Blitzball
Magics: Barrage, Aim, Haste, Reflect
D-Links: Fran
Job: Ranger
Appearance: A tan-skinned, red haired and red eyed girl with a slim build. She dresses rather strangely, due to her parents very different styles both having an effect. At first glance, she seems quite feminine. Her thick red hair is bound in twin pigtails. She wears a cute black and purple dress with lacy frills, and striking gothic makeup. Platform shoes and fingerless gloves complete the look.

But then, if you look longer, you’ll see that her slim build is wired with an althele’s muscle. The cute dress has shorts underneath so she can run. Her gloves are padded and the platform shoes have cleats. The makeup is more like sport paint that doesn’t come off.

Her blitzball never leaves her side.

Yes, she’s a strange girl, but her friends and family love her for it.

Brief History: Amarantha, nicknamed Ama, lives in Besaid with her parents, Wakka and Lulu, and her older brother Vidina. It was a peaceful life until the cracks started opening up. Citizens began to huddle in their homes for safety, fearing getting torn away from their lives. Ama, however, felt the call to adventure tug at her, as it once did her parents. She wrote them a goodbye letter, packed her things, and set off. It didn’t take her long to find a crack, and she quite literally leapt at it.

When she came out on the other side, the blitzball she inherited from her father seemed to change, gaining an odd pattern of keys all over the surface. She’s still testing her limits, and is eager to make a difference.

Name: Kalak Ulanti

Gender: Male
Race: Selkie
Homeworld: Crystal Chronicles
Key-Weapon: Key-tar
Magics:
Cure
Reflect
Silence
Might
Control
D-Links: Mirabel Madrigal
Job: Beastmaster
Appearance: Kalak is a Selkie with long, blue hair and an effeminate face, he is often mistaken for a girl. He wears what looks like animal pelts that show a lot of his skin. Over these pelts are a series of patchwork leather armour, complete with a small pair of metal, dragon-like wings poking out of the back of the shoulders. He also has a similar pair on a circlet that he wears on his head, as well as a pair on the heels of his plate boots.
Brief History: Kalak was born as the son of the Fisherman of his village and trained with a spear with his father, learning how to catch fish, but also learning the art of combat with the Axe from the local Lilty Blacksmith. When he was 18, he was allowed to join the Crystal Caravan as it went to gather the Magical Dew in order to keep the crystal of the village glowing and keeping the terrible Miasma and monsters out. He travelled across the world with the caravan, seeing all sorts of sights, both beautiful and horrifying, all breathtaking in one way or another. At the end of the year, when the Caravan returned to the village with the Crucible full of dew and ready to revitalize the towns Crystal. As he got ready to go to the ceremony, he was distracted by a small, cute, black creature with glowing yellow eyes. Following it, he discovered a strange black swirling portal, before he knew it, another of these things jumped on his back and he lost his balance, falling through the portal and into the void.

Like being cast into a great, black sea. Looking around, he could see the sky full of stars and, soon, felt the pull of his heart toward something. That's when more of the cute creatures began to surround him and, before his eyes, the Axe would appear in his hands, but this was different, it had wires and was covered in Butterflies. As he took the axe in his hands, he began to run his hands across the wires to produce a harmonious sound. As one of the creatures lunged for him, he swung the axe at it, cleaving it into a black puff of smoke and a bright, pink heart began floating upwards towards the sky. More and more came after him, the more he cleaved, the more that showed up. As he began to weaken, he ran his hands across the wires again, but this time, a creature seemed to hear him, something from this space between with an equal hatred of the Heartless, a large Butterfly. He managed to make his way to a strange portal, which took him to a strange world where he met... Well, a whole lot of people that he had no idea who they were. He had never seen any of their kind before. They told him that this place was called Ivalice and he soon found himself adopted into a clan of Bangaa and Viera.

Eventually he left Ivalice and discovered the man known as Xehanort, who told him exactly what he was and explained to him about the Butterfly was a symbol of the one that he was linked with by destiny. He also showed him how to use his Keyblade Glider, as well as summon his armour. and began travelling with a Nobody by the name of Oko, who claimed to be a Heartless Hunter. Oko took Kalak under his wing to teach him about how to travel the Space Between, with them sailing between worlds on his immense Gummi-Ship. During their time working together, they constantly came under attack from a young, highly antagonistic Nobody by the name of Perthe.
Other: Kalak is a total romantic, believing that his duty in life is to marry a fair Princess. He is also a Pacifist, refusing to raise his axe to hurt others. But his Butterfly does not feel the same way. It's a Spirit Dreameater he calls Queen Cio-Cio that fights enemies on his behalf whilst he uses his his magics to buff his allies and debuff his enemies.

He also carries a pair of strange devices on his belt at all times.

Name: Bellamy “Bell” Blackpowder
Age: 21
Gender: Non-binary (They/them, he/they)
Race: Human (?)
Homeworld: Montressor (Treasure Planet)
Key-Weapon: Key-Rifle
Magics: Spark, Cure, Sidewinder, Warhead
D-Links: Aimée Matchlock (Bravely Second)
Job: Hawkeye
Appearance: A tallish, slim, androgynous sailor of mysterious origin. Red eyes, sharp features, white hair highlighted with black streaks. They’re always dressed as immaculately as possible, even far from port.
Brief History: Bell Blackpowder began life as practically an orphan, abandoned at an orphanage on Montressor. By the time Bell was 12, they’d given up on finding a home with a family, and decided to set out for greener pastures by stowing away on a leaving ship. The downside? It was a pirate ship. After being discovered, the captain took a small mercy on the scrawny child, and put them to work as a powder monkey on the gun deck.

Unlike most children in their position, Bell managed to work their way up from the bottom of the ladder, graduating to gunner, and later Master Gunner. During a pitched battle with a rival crew, the captain and first mate of the ship were cut down by gunfire. In the chaos that ensued, Bell took charge, keeping a level head and calling the shots (literally), leading the crew to an unlikely victory. In the crew meeting that followed, the vote was unanimous: Bell, their lucky charm, was chosen as the new captain. And thus, the Red Flower Pirates were born.

Unfortunately, such a lofty position wouldn’t last long. Only two years after their promotion, the Calypso was caught in a terrible solar storm, one that seemed to tear the very fabric of the Etherium. Bell was thrown overboard, into the tear, never to be seen again…

…Until they arrived on the other side, finding themselves in a strange, neon-lit town. And to make matters more curious, their trusty rifle had changed, gaining an odd axe-head bayonet, looking almost like the bit of a skeleton key. But they could wonder about strange weapons and odd towns later; Bell’s current goal is to find a way off of this strange planet, and back to their loyal crew, by any means possible.
Other: Bell loves spicy food. The spicier the better; many of their personal recipes are labeled “hazardous for sapient and sentient consumption” by various health organizations because of this.
