Character

Name: Mai Tenkawa



Age: 19

Bio: Having been born just a few years after the Heartless and Nobodies appeared, life wasn't exactly easy. Mai's father was a part of the New Shinsengumi, and her family needed someone to succeed him should he fall in battle. Being the only offspring of her parents, she was raised and trained in the ways of the blade. Her dexterity proved to be a challenge at first, as being a southpaw in a group of orthodoxes meant that everyone would have to adjust for her, and her to them as well whenever they would spar or be partnered together. While she never neglected her studies and duty, her only wish was to be able to travel the world on her own.

One day after finishing her duties, the city her family was living in was suddenly invaded by a horde of Nobodies. Although she was told to preserve her strength and help with the injured, the sight of her father being wounded in battle sprung her into action. With a quick swing of her blade, the Nobody that had injured her father disappeared into nothingness. What she had in hand however, was no longer the blade that she had been practicing with, but rather, a Keyblade. No one knew what it actually was, but it was capable of defeating the Nobodies and Heartless that had been plaguing them with moderate-to-little effort.

Shortly after, Mai was frequently brought out into the fray due to her ability to combat the Heartless and Nobodies more easily thanks to her newfound weapon. Although her parents were against it due to her young age, they couldn't deny Mai's will to help however she could to deal with the threats that frequently popped up.

Despite her best efforts, sometimes her best wasn't enough. At times, the amount of casualties and even comrades of hers to fall were high. Being the only one who could properly combat both the Nobodies and Heartless, her constant fighting for over four years has been taking a toll onto her body. Although it doesn't come up often, Mai has started having an unconscious fear that one day, her body would break down and no longer be able to fight and move.

Personality: Upbeat, energetic, and very easily excited, she is always eager to meet new people and learn new things. She is also very loyal to her family, knowing nothing but their own teachings and lifestyle across the years. Aromatic food and sweets will almost always guarantee her attention, and she has a soft spot for children. In battle, she drops her cheerful demeanor in favor of a more serious and calculating approach. While she is no master at strategy, she is a demon in duels.

Skills: Being an adept in the ways of the blade, Mai is very good at Sword-based skills, however, she knows little-to-no magic. But she does have the capacity to learn them should she have a capable mentor to teach them to her.



World

Other major goals were the demilitarization and democratization of Japan's government and society. For the most part, this was successful.

However, the Heartless and Nobodies have begun to appear across the land. With modern weapons being out of their grasp, the Japanese sought to try and fight back using their old ways: With the way of the sword. The Japanese established the New Shinsengumi, a special police force of sword-bearing individuals whose purpose is to protect the innocent from the new threats that have appeared.

Name: Fredrick Arwell
Alias: Rick, Ricky

Appearance: vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/rhythmthi..

Bio: Fredrick Arwell, born on 1916 in New York City, was raised on the city streets by his mother and father who were middle class German immigrants. Fredrick grew up in the roaring twenties, and due to his frail thin structure, was picked on alot during his early and high school years. Forced to defend himself on numerous occasions, he learned to fight not with pure strength, but through his uncanny ability to be quick on his feet.

He realized this talent and used it to beat up thugs and become an avid dancer. Among his favorite passions were listening to jazz music and partying in the clubs. Fredrick eventually got a job as a bouncer in one of his favorite bars/dance clubs. He would often use his unitimidating stature to surprise his foes, and soon became quite a capable fighter. He was a self-proclaimed cool cat and a loner, despite being quite the looker. Fredrick was no stranger to the darker side of the Big Apple though.

He was eventually approached by the mafia and hired as a part-time hitman, which he became very proficient at. Soon, Fredrick was rolling in the high life. The money, the drugs, the women, he couldn't get enough of it. He eventually became quite trusted by the mob boss and became his top dog. This lifestyle, however, would not last forever. One of the mob boss's sons decided he wanted to be the one running the show and decided to kill his old man and anyone loyal to him. Fredrick ended up fleeing the city, and as been on the hunt by both the mafia and the police to this day.

Now, friendless and without a home, he became a wandering freelancer, doing all sorts of oddjobs to afford to travel city to city, state to state, and country to country, a rebel without a cause. It was during his travels that he met an old man, who was a retired Keyblade warrior who fought during the first World War. The master keyblade weilder and Fredrick developed a kinship, both feeling that they have no place to belong to. Fredrick became his apprentice, and learned the basics of magic, though choosing to specilize in the fire arts. Fredrick also became chosen to weild the keyblade, and learned the basics of swordplay. The years of training was broken up when Fredrick's dark past finally caught up with him, and he was arrested.

It just so happened that WWII was just around the corner and Fredrick was given an ultimatum, fight for his country or spend what could be the rest of his life in prison. To Fredrick, the choice was obvious, and ever since then, he has been fighting covertly as an American agent against the Nazis.

Age: 34

Skills: Super Agility-Fredrick is quick on his feet and can dodge practically anything slower than a bullet.

Martial Artist: Fredrick is an expert in Kung Fu from his earlier years and a master of CQC due to his training with his Keyblade master.

Pyrokinesis: While Fredrick knows at the very least the basic elemental spells, he has grown a fondness and a penchant for using fire based magics. He often uses this power to set objects, especially his weapons, on fire. He can also spout flames to torch a small but wide radius in front of him, and launch weaker but farther ranged fireballs.

Weaponry:

Titanium Playing Cards: Disgusied as ordinary playing cards tucked in Fredrick's sleeves, these lethal throwing cards have sharpened edges forged from titanium that can cut through even the strongest of metals and body armors. Fredrick likes to set these on fire to further increase armor penetration.

Hidden knives: Fredrick always has a vast collection of concealed knives and switchblades at hand, including wrist and shoe blades, and even one tucked in his fedora.

The Pheonix Keyblade: fc01.deviantart.net/fs11/i/2006/255/0.. This keyblade is weak in melee compared to other keyblades, but it boosts Fredrick already considirable fire magic to staggering levels. Fredrick finds his Keyblade unweildy, and rarely utilizes it in close combat, relying on his blades and fists. He prefers using the Pheonix to augment the power and radius of his spells and expell torents of fire and death.

Other: Fredrick always keeps a nail file in his red tie. He is also very skilled at pick-poketing and keeps bobby pins at hand.

Personality: Outside of battle, Fredrick is very chill and laid back, prefering to sit in the sidlines than be on center stage. He is a heavy smoker, and wouldn't be caught dead without his signature red-striped Fedora with an Ace of Spades card in it. Fredrick is the sort who only uses violence as a last resort and prefers to talk it out. In the heat of combat, his movements and atitude tends towards the theatric, and he often uses these occasions to show of his dance moves, regardless of strategic advantage. He is very analytical and is slow to trust, but beneath his ambivelant demeanor is the heart of an artist and a loyal friend.

Name: V2
Appearance: Taro looks like an average human child with a short, stocky build and spiky black hair. Every part of his body but his body is made of black metal, with his head being the only human looking part of him. His arms are slightly bulbous, his legs appear to be boots, and he has a clear, heart shaped contained on his chest that occasionally glows with a white light. He wears a white belt and a red scarf, and well as a black helmet with a mouth guard that can pop out of the sides. Around his shoulders are three yellow orbs, on the front, back, and top, that can extend outward on robs like antenna.

Bio: Souji Kamiya, 14 years old. The Keyblade Master of the world of Robotropolis, this young boy fought to stem the tide of darkness with a smile on his face for eight long years. He gave hope to all the peoples of the world with his boundless optimism and astounding heroics. Then, however, he was struck down. Not by any enemy, but by a tragic illness. As his days drew to a close the worlds greatest scientists came to him, people that had thrown their full support behind him from the day he had started his crusade, with a plan.

It was simple logic, they said, to have a little insurance in case something happened to him. That's why they had been working on something. Not a replacement, you understand. Nothing that could ever be mass produced. The moogles had helped them create it, they said. It would be him. It could live for him. Fight in his name. Continue to give the people hope and protect Robotropolis. They just needed one thing from him, before his time was up.

Souji gladly agreed to give them his Heart.

Everybody thinks that his life was saved, that he was transformed into a cyborg and now fights a tireless fight against the heartless.

It can't be a robot. Everyone knows that robots don't have hearts.

Age: 2

Skills: v2 is an extremely humanoid robot, so much so that he is weak by robot standards, with delicate systems meant to mimic those of the human body. He is more durable and stronger than his size suggests, easily comparable to that of a human adult, and he requires no sleep, food, drink, or air. The orbs on his shoulders can generate electricity, he can fly using rockets build into his feet, and his eyes double as flashlights.

His keyblade, Scrapyard, looks like its made entirely of scrap metal soldered together in the vague shape of a key. This is not what Souji's keyblade looked like. His, Robot Wonderland, was much stronger.

Personality: v2's is extremely taciturn, respectful, and dutiful. In most situations his expression does not change and unless calling an attack he does not change either the inflection of volume of his voice. This can make him hard to read, but he does have emotions in his own strange, computer way. A naturally honest person, he fully accepts his role as a replacement hero and asses himself the inferior of the two. He has no greater enjoyment than to see the heartless destroyed and the innocent saved, though he accepts that that is likely just programming.

Ryteb Pymeroce The Emerald Mage

Member Seen 4 yrs ago

Name: Ryteb

Appearance: He stands at roughly 5’3, and is rather scrawny in build, with fairly pale skin. His face could be called effeminate, but has a foxlike quality to it that makes most people around him suspect he’s plotting some mischief. There is a fae-like quality to his hair, which seems to ripple between the colours of a roaring flame. His eyes are a reddish orange, with that same twinkle of trickery to them as the rest of his face. His left forearm seems to be consumed by darkness, kept from passing into the rest of his body by blazing red tattoos on his bicep. To hide this, he wears an elbow length gauntlet on his right hand, made from a reddish bronze material.

As an apprentice mage, Ryteb wears a dark green robe, embroidered with all the stars and mystic symbols that are needed for those in the profession of magic. For ease of movement among apprentices, the robe only comes down to his knees, with a split so that he can run more easily. Along with the robe, he also wears a pair of blue jeans, and a stout pair of boots.

Bio: Ryteb lived on Terra Amet, a world where magic overran technology. He was an apprentice of Odin Stone, a kindly old man who studied the mysteries of the arcane, along with an older boy by the name of Retsam Alkeim. When the Heartless appeared, Odin took interest in them, even discovering techniques to manipulate the darkness. However, after one of the experimental darkness spells backfired, caused Ryteb to almost be consumed by the darkness, Odin ceased the experiments, and forbade either of them to try it again.

Though Ryteb followed the wishes of his master, Retsam was too deeply enthralled by the power of this new magic. The older apprentice continued the research of the Heartless in secret. As Retsam unlocked more secrets of the darkness, he gained more power, but also became harsher and more arrogant. Eventually he reached a point where he believed he had eclipsed Odin, and decided to eliminate his fool of a master. The ensuring fight was quite literally a world ending event.

As Retsam channelled the power of darkness, Odin wielded the strength of the elements. Ryteb wanted to help his master, but his strength was incomparable to the two of them. Eventually though, the fallen apprentice gained the upper hand, for he was younger than Odin, and the heartless were pouring into the world disrupting Odin’s connection to the world. He was about to strike the final blow on his master, when Ryteb got in the way, using a stick to shield himself. It was then that a Keyblade chose the young apprentice, granting him enough power to push his arrogant senior back. Drawing on the last dregs of the world, he used a powerful Firaga, which blasted Retsam away, into the darkness.

The battle had taken much out of Odin, and he was on his last legs. With his dying breath, he surrounded Ryteb in a barrier of light, and flung him out of the world. He washed up on the shore of an unknown world, and swore that he would find Retsam, and get revenge for his master.

Age: 16

Skills: Ryteb has a talent for elemental magics, most notably fire magic. He does possess some knowledge of manipulating darkness, but refuses to use it as his body risks being swallowed by the darkness. From his training, he does have some experience with hand to hand combat and swordfighting, but nowhere near the level of professional combatants.

The keyblade that chose Ryteb is named Prometheus. It looks similar to the Spellbinder keyblade, but with some differences. The hilt is made of stone in the shape of a pair of eagle wings, with an ivory grip. The blade seems to be entirely flame, but smooth and controlled. For a keychain, there is merely a broken shackle. Prometheus boosts a person’s magical ability, and increases the strength of fire based magic.

Personality: Before his world was destroyed, Ryteb was a playful student. He didn’t think he could compete with Retsam to become the next master so spent his time learning magic in his own way, mostly by pulling pranks on the other two. After the failed experiment, he gained a fear of the dark, and has never gone to sleep without some form of lightsource around him. After his world’s destruction, he maintains the jokey demeanour, but he now has a fire in his heart. Now he seeks to become as strong, if not stronger, than his master so that he can defeat Retsam and avenge both his world and Odin. He tries not to show this, often training in secret to hide his perceived weakness from others.

Name: Taka


His outfit of choice is everyone’s favorite black coat, shielding the wearer from the Darkness’ effects, and allowing passage through Corridors of Darkness throughout the worlds.

Bio: Clinging on to a fragment of the memory that was his final moments upon a battlefield, Taka wanders about the worlds in search of the last face he can recall seeing, hoping to find this mystery person that he feels he had formed a strong bond with long ago. Due to his desperate state, he may not think twice about cutting down those he considers an obstacle towards his goal.

Age: 19

Skills: While he knows his way around his blade, Taka is also well-versed in Light,Dark, and Healing magic, supporting his allies by using status effects upon enemies, and curing them of any wounds or ailments they may encounter throughout their travels.

Personality: Being a Nobody for so long has made Taka rather confrontational, quick to defend what he deems is correct. However, if one could make him see the error of his ways, he’ll be willing to cooperate, and listen to what needs to be said. Although he prefers to remain concealed within his hood, he will on occasion remove it in hopes that his appearance may jog someone’s memory, and guide him further towards his ambition being realized.

Character Sheet
Name: Maxwell Kilimal
Appearance:

Bio: Max was born in a world known as Gaea. Being half-elf, he was exiled from the elven forests and never felt truly accepted in any human settlement. At least, not until he got to pilot his own Guymelef. Like most others, his was made of steel with gold trim and a cape with his emblem. Unlike the red, blue, or green of the rest of the soldiers, however, his cape was a golden yellow, showing his slightly higher status (because of his multiple times accidentally saving the princesses) and his uniqueness. Then came the war. Prince Van had traveled to the Mystic Moon (Earth) and killed a dragon! And then had brought a girl back with him. With the heart of the dragon, Van awoke Escaflowne and became its pilot. With Escaflowne, Van ended the war, beat the bad guy, saved the princesses, and sent the girl home. Then something strange happened: small, black creatures with big, yellow eyes began popping up here and there. They weren't very strong individually but rarely did you see less than 10. A few stories proved only magic could hurt them, making the average Guymelef useless against them.
Then Max got trapped alone. He began trying to fight them with his fists, which proved to be just as useless as anything else without magic. Just as he was about to punch another one that leaped for him, a strange weapon appeared in his hand: a sword in the shape of a key. It appeared to be a normal rapier, despite the guard surrounding the handle on both sides instead if just the front, with a gold scarf surrounding the blade and flowing off the back at the tip, a scarf with his emblem on it. With the new weapon, he easily defeated the beasts, dubbed Shadows by King Van. With more practice and experimenting, he figured out he could wield the keyblade while in his Guymelef, the weapon growing to match the size of the armor.
Age: 24
Skills: Proficient with swordplay, archery, spellcasting, piloting his Guymelef, and being is the right place at the right time.
Personality: Max is a rather down-to-earth kind of guy. He's not easily angered or depressed unless there's already something bugging him. He's loyal to a fault after loyalty is earned.

World Sheet
Name: Gaea (Escaflowne)
Summary of History: After the recent war ended, thanks to Van Fanel, who was later made King, there was a year of peace before small, black creatures started popping up in groups of about 10. Not much was known but what was told from the stories of the survivors. It was quickly found out that anyone killed by these creatures would become one and only magic or enchanted weapons could do any damage to them, as far as they saw. Then came one hero with a strange weapon, one that could nearly kill them instantly.
Important Nations (Great Powers, etc.): The Zaibach Empire, The Country of Fanelia
Overall Technology Level: Mostly medieval except for the Guymelefs.

i.imgur.com/1BFE3Oc.png
Backstory: She..was born to nice parents, had a excellent childhood, and all over had a pretty good life so far. She had her own little group of friends, and enjoyed their company very much. Her world, was a bit..deeper then it seemed at first glance of course. Her and her friends were one of the few knowing this, and still claiming the title mortal..for the most part. Her friends are bit strange in their own ways, one has quite the temper, and a taint of the moon. One knows a few parlor tricks, nothing flashy, but more then most people think is possible, and the last sees the echoes of lost lives.She and her friends actually actively sought out the strangeness lurking under the surface of her world, and managed to keep their lives in the process. All in all, pretty good for a group of teens. When she got her Keyblade, and the darkness arrived however..well, her life is still pretty nice, but her responsibilities shifted from being a good friend and caretaker to a group..to being the protector and savior of realms.
She's thrilled to be helping so many people.
Age:19
Skills:Has a keenly developed sense of empathy, and good people skills in general. She's decent in a scrap, but that's not really her focus. She tends towards agility rather then brute force in combat, and has a few cure spells. She tends to be well stocked for long journeys, and is an excellent cook.
Personality:She has a tendency to bear people's problems for them, she, even in her young age, is a motherly and compassionate young lady. She usually is flippant towards authority, tending accente the negative of the people in charge, rather then normal positive view she has on most people
