[OOC] Solace In Night: A Kingdom Hearts RP

[Piercing Light]

The worlds were once at peace. Not the flimsy sort of peace that paranoid military men have to uphold, but TRUE peace. Every world was connected, with Disney Castle as the epicenter. Harmony was the golden rule, that is until seven years ago. A lone figure appeared in Disney Castle, his form veiled by a dark cloak. Darkness covered everything in his wake like a plague as he advanced upon the castle. No one was able to stop him, any who crossed his path were swallowed in a cycle of misery and pain as their life was torn from them in a violent maelstrom. It wasn't long before he reached the throne room, where he swiftly executed the king and queen. Even the Princess of Heart of the world was not spared, her pure heart was seen as threat to this man's dark reign. She vanished, and the precious light of the world was gone.

Not even a week later the entire world was under his control, with an army of heartless of unknown origin at his command. He declared himself ruler of the world, and enforced martial law on the populace. He had an army of heart hungry beasts, but they were firmly in his control. His goal was not destruction, but to cloud the hearts of mortals with hopelessness and darkness. He spread his influence to other worlds, crushing any opposition mercilessly. Before long this lone man had built an unstoppable empire. A tyrannical form of government was put into place, civilians could gain some leeway by joining the empire's army, though that would put them in the position of looking down upon low class civilians. As one could possibly imagine this results in those of low moral standing abusing their power, creating an environment in which the wicked reign, while the weak and kind are punished.

Keyblades. The legendary weapons were once symbols of hope, instruments of peace and justice carried by those chosen to wield them. They were looked up to once, now any who bear the key are targets of the empire, threats to be eliminated on sight. What is left of the order of the keybladers has been scattered across the worlds, their numbers are unknown, and all that is sure is that few are left. The Guardians of the Worlds are no longer fit to protect anyone; however, a beacon of hope has recently made its presence known. They call themselves the Unbound Hearts, and they’ve been doing their very best to become a vagrant thorn in the empire’s side. Across many worlds they engage in disruptive activities, from protecting citizens from the empire’s abusive subordinates, to bringing down military compounds. Wherever they strike they leave behind their mark, a crimson red heart with a keyhole embedded in its center, laced around it are broken chains. They do this as a reminder to the people as well as the emperor or their creed. Their duty is to protect the worlds; their goal to uplift the keybladers and fight back to win the peace they have come to love.

Rules:

No God modding, also no major Power Playing. Well, PP may be acceptable, but only if you’ve cleared it up with the owner of the character. Also I think I should mention that having your character know things that they realistically wouldn’t know isn’t cool, and it won’t win you any brownie points with anyone, it’s effectively God modding in a way.

No sexually explicit stuff, I mean romance is all fine and dandy but… kids come here ya know?

Concerning battles… I wanna make some things clear. What your character can and cannot do will stem directly from what is in your template, I’m fine with diverse powers and in fact I encourage them, what I’m not okay with is vague or ill planned out abilities. For example just saying your character is a master at magic is not good enough, neither is simply saying they utilize a wide variety of magic. This is Kingdom Hearts, we know that using magic is possible and quite common. If you’re making a spellcaster then explain just what spells they’re good at. Are they proficient in healing? Perhaps they've dabbled a bit more than others would in the art of necromancy? Also try not to make them too powerful, no endless teleporting or impenetrable defenses. Think it out, and try to have fun with it.

Grammar: I’m not asking for much, just make it legible and we’re cool alright? The same could be said for length, There will be no one liners here Try at the very least to write two paragraphs.

This is an AU RP so try to avoid canon plot threads.

Faction: There are two factions, the Empire and the Unbound Hearts. Your character may belong to one, you may also have your character belong to neither. If your character is with the Empire then their duties will be to uphold the law of the emperor, and to hunt down members of the Unbound Hearts. If your character is a member of the Unbound Hearts then their mission is to cause the empire to crumble and to interfere in their domination of the worlds. It’s as simple as that really.

Weapon: If your character uses a weapon describe it here.

Powers/Abilities: Keep it reasonable eh?

Bio: Meh, you can put whatever you want here really, I’m not much of a stickler for bios, your character's recent history is good enough.

[AlteredTundra]

Woot! I'm discussing some stuff with a friend. Hopefully it works out. Working on a character nonetheless.

[Noel]

Hmm. Advanced KH Rp huh. Been kinda inactive here but this is tempting.

What would your stance on something like an android or living doll/mannequin be? Had an idea for that kind of character

[Piercing Light]

That type of character would be fine.

[Aldridge]

Definitely interested.

[Anorgos]

--------------------------

Interested in this definitely, thanks for telling me again Tundra. ^-^ Should have a template finished soon.

[Perfect Anarchy]

I'll be adding A list of empire characters to this post over time, here is the first.

Salforge

Name: Maxwell De'Franzisi Salforge | Salforge
Age: Actual: 38 years, Physically: 20
Gender: Male

Personality: Salforge has a very complex and often scrapping in the distance kind of ambience. He is genuinely the type to suffer, fight, and die for and of himself. Quite sardonic, intelligent, and quick witted, he puts a verbal boundary between himself and everything as a means to safeguard himself from bonds, it was a natural sense of solitude imbued upon for as long as he can remember. His emotions are controlled, nigh inert, and he's in every situation the most rational and calculative individual when left alone. These effects of is personality were made permanent as a result of the steel heart project, and he's since then found no tenderness or warmth within himself. Much of his philosophy and rants are for pure purposes of misdirection, how he functions and operates always convene with his personal interest first and foremost. To some degree Salforge is an opportunist as much as he is a ghost on the battlefield. He's been searching to be captivated of interest by one that can offer more than a comrade, but offer him warmth that he's lacked for the last 30 years.

Appearance: A none too ridiculous height of about six feet solid. With a kind of physique and poise that compliments his slim yet tone figure. A skin pigment that resembles a tanned beige, if not darkened slightly more. Limbs are of adequate sword length as does apply for his legs as well. Midsection is slim but built to say he does work out. His mane is black and flowing to spiked tips that fall just past his shoulders. From the front his hair is parted by five bangs, three to the left, two to the right, the ends tipped with an orange highlight. A single strand drifts somewhere in between, and directly in front of his left eye cutting off just a little past his nose. His eyes are two pools, both red, though at times the left sees the past and the pupil vanishes, there is LED-like image of the roman numeral "CI" reflected from his left eye as an way to identify him as a steel heart.

He wears skinny white shirt, sleeveless. Atop a light black jacket of jean material, the right sleeve is cut off at the shoulder, only on that side. On his exposed right arm is a black arm warmer that runs from the wrist to just past the elbow. Both hands are accompanied by fingerless black gloves, and a golden bracelet on each hand.

His bottoms are more or less the same, a sleek pair of cargo blacks. Pockets found on the back and side, with two additional pockets font below his knees on the sides.

Faction: Empire - Enlisted as High-paying Professional Mercenary

Weapon: Kakugane CI (101) "Dark Malice Cresent"

The Kakugane CI (101) is a portable hexagonal box, engineered by the one and only Darkness in Zero (DiZ). It is ultimately what was coined the "Steel Heart Project" where five test subjects were subjugated to bonding their hearts to these kakugane boxes. In Salforge's case, his Kakugane is called "Dark Malice Crescent" or DMC for short. It is a broadsword filling the length of his entire body, but about 1/3rd of his weight. DMC's design has a curved crescent nook at the broadsword's edge acting as a hook or scrape. It possesses two abilities, one special ability and the other it's dominant ability. The dominant ability is to reproduce the effects of magic spells or skills, copied and carried over by parrying or cutting with the blade. This feature is prominent, but with limitations of storing three abilities at a time, which is why this option is rarely used by Salforge because he risks erasing his first absorbed ability forcing him to shuffle his combat style to make up for it.

Ability Slot #1: Haste - A spell that when cast temporarily increases the movement speed of the user, it has a maximum continuous duration of 90 seconds. And increases Salforge in particular's movement speed to roughly two hundred twenty mph. Haste has a second effect that times down the casting speed of all other equipped abilities, and during the 90 second duration increase all casts and cooldowns.

Ability Slot #2: Decay - The yellow light of decay is the personal technique exclusive to the kakugane named "Perjury". Used in an assault against Salforge when confronting General O'nam briefly. Decay is shot in a straight light, easy to dodge, but has the power to deconstruct matter and transport it to O'nam's "Garden of Death", a separate plane where the body floats unconsciously in limbo. The effected can be restored, but Decay is normally used specifically to temporarily remove someone from an environment, and in no way can Decay kill the recipient, rather it puts them in a state of comatose on a different plane of reality.

Ability Slot #3: The 103rd - The final ability that is directly in sync with Immovable block. The user is able to manipulate the data and physical properties of immovable block and convert the blocks themselves into live feed, to capture, record, and buffer with crystal clear quality. When used in tandem with immovable block, the blocks themselves are capable of acting in a manner to survey enemies at distances. They bestow reflective and refractive traits to immovable block, relinquishing the blocks and those effected/coated from sight. Playing with vision is crucial, when enemies are looking directly at a coated recipient they appear to be gone in an almost complete sense. Sound however is what makes this far from a perfect set up, Salforge has no issues with suppressing his individual sound, but sounds that bounce off his unique body can expose him.

Kakugane CI (101) Special Skill: Immovable block - A program that was engineered into Salforge's prototype steel heart, it is a series of portable blocks and cubes that form a defensive apparatus around the user. Coined "Immovable Block" due to the intense threshold of damage that the user can receive prior to collapse of the defensive perimeter. The key to the defense itself is the size and number of the individual blocks used in proper shielding. The tighter and smaller the blocks, the better the defense, but this process takes 1/4th the time to build up as it would to create quicker and much larger blocks for momentary parries. The smaller blocks are always applied to Salforge's physical body at all times, giving him a constant defense should an enemy break through his much larger and showy defenses. Physical attacks are the least effective against immovable block, magic based attacks do 1.5x the attack where physical attacks do about .75x the damage against all variations of immovable block.

Immovable block is clocked at being able to spread across distances in the instance of touch, or by a single or multiple block expanding one at a time, or combining in unison. The inside of the blocks are determinant of being in a cage, the ground of the block becomes solid and it acts as a means of detainment for foes. When directly touching an enemy or ally, Salforge can afflict them apart of his immovable block for purposes of either both defense and or tracking. This can also be done at a range using a block to compress and coat against the enemies skin. The difference to be noted here is in the application, an enemy or ally can shatter a non-touch applied coating (compression) versus one that is applied via touch. This is simply a matter of touch being the more resilient and powerful of applications that ensure the strongest blocks are applied to the recipient. By touch he can code an entire area, depending on mass and volume of the area, it spreads out the time it takes to coat substantially, even with haste.

The immovable block can create working and moving dummy shells of Salforge (and the likeness alone of others), he can often use this to negate significant damage when his home defenses have been breached, by shedding that layer of shells and retreating. It is also in this instant that the mercenary is the most vulnerable. Switching places with dummies over the distances that they are placed. Lastly he is able to digitize and transport himself and others in a time-consuming process that takes relatively ten-seconds to achieve. The distances that can be covered are compliant to areas that the immovable block has actively coated.

Powers/Abilities:

Steel Heart~
A human possessing no physical heart, no draw to magic, relying only upon their wits and arms alchemy forged from the kakugane. The physics of the user's body drastically change. Without a heart, they resonate and give off absolutely no heat, effectively making them cold-blooded. Their bodies don't require sustenance to maintain, yet its not uncommon to eat now and again as a leisure as opposed to necessity. The body is able to quiet itself, stripping its movements of a great number of sounds making steel hearts insanely stealthy. The user is also enabled to adjust the density and weight of their own body, simply as a defense mechanism when left to the mercy of gravity, it ensures soft landings and if they're captured, that equipment is necessary to move their heavy forms. Each bares red eyes, as a roman numeral scratched on the left eye for those marked. Lastly, emotionless and they exude complete rational thought, with the ability to act, determine, and move without hesitation or signs of faltering.

However, much like human beings, as a steel heart Salforge is susceptible to bleeding, his body type is analogous to that of a reptile without the same necessities.

Bio: "Chivalry is dead."

Such were the words of a man that had lost more than just his way. His heart, devoured yet body sustained by his master's legacy. The Steel Heart. Retaining his memories as well as his body, he even compensated from his heart being rogue. In any event, the accident that put him how he was living this new life gave him purpose to search for his master and mentor that had parted saving Salforge and four other individuals with the method of the steel heart.

So his stature became one of a cold blood, but not a murderer. In his roaming, he became something of a mercenary, a real ghillie in the mist so to speak. His subtle nature erases his existence with no heart beat to follow him, no heat signature, stealth made him infamous. Keying into the rumors that his face was made of stone made it difficult to deter that he's ever been impaled. Needless to say as of late he's become aware of the sorry shape of the worlds. While he had no interest in the mass destruction he couldn't help but give it his attention.

"Pretty cool party, you guys know any card games?"

Like knocking on the devil's door, the little man in red, Salforge was bold as to make his own entrance. Not really intimidated in the slightest, his once red-orange eyes were a painted crimson as to strike a kind of madness into those that met his gaze. He created, an unrequited fear in the lessers, and upon making his way in he was greeted by one. Older than him, and a different type of being altogether, like it really mattered. As he walked passed him, he stopped. thinking about this for just an instant, he continued to climb until he expressed his dues of 'payment' for his services.

[Piercing Light]

Name: Shizuka Komatsuzaki
Age: 16
Gender: Female

Personality: From afar Shizuka seems like a steadfast wall of cool headedness. She speaks in a calm and refined manner, and when not in motion she appears elegant, as if holding a pose for a renaissance artist. That is only the impression she gives off however, much like an abstract mosaic painting the finer details of her personality come to light once you really become accustomed to her. Her mature and silky smooth voice gives her an air of seriousness that betrays her rather odd and naïve nature. Because of this it is rather difficult to know just what will get a reaction out of her. She disregards many things she sees as ‘boring,’ yet at the same time has an endless curiosity. She’s actually aware of this, and makes minor strides as to not appear aloft or rude.
Shizuka has a habit of making friends in odd ways, often believing someone to be her friend while they are left out of the loop. This results in her behaving overly friendly around people, as if it were normal to engage in personal conversation with someone she hardly knows. Believe it or not she’s aware of this as well, to her the line between stranger and ‘friend’ is a thin one.

Appearance: Shizuka stands at a height of 5'11, a highly above average height for her age and gender. She possesses a rather regal demeanor, even if it stops at simply being physical. Her skin tone is akin to a ripe peach. She has sleek raven hair, styled in what she considers a 'princess' do. It is cut evenly just above her eyebrows, otherwise it falls in an unthreaded tapestry all the way to her thighs. She is very fond of her hair, if she ever has her hands free then she'll more often than not be taking care of it. Her eyes are a light shade of blue, resembling the tone of a morning sky. Her gaze is nearly always slightly slouched giving the impression that everything around her is copacetic. Occasionally her eyes may widen in childish delight, somehow making her look a lot younger than she is. She has a button nose, it's place on her face is so subtle that it seems as if it were an afterthought in her creation. Her cheeks are vaguely puffy, just enough that when she smiles tiny dimples are made.
Shizuka dresses quite extravagantly, with a penchant for frilly dresses, skirts, and a purple motif. She always looks as if she's about to head out somewhere important, though if you bring that up she'll swear that she is only dressing 'casually.'

Faction: Unbound hearts

Weapon: Shizuka is able to summon a keyblade, but refuses to.

Powers/Abilities: Matter manipulation
This is an ability that allows Shizuka to alter the properties of matter via direct touch, as well as alter her own body's structure. Once she touches something her body 'learns' of it's properties, it's elemental composition, it's texture. This happens without her knowledge, as there is no outstanding indication. Whatever object she is in contact with is subject to sudden changes. A hard material such as stone can take on the features of rubber, granted she has 'learned' the composition of a rubber object. That same stone can be made as brittle as a wooden pencil, making it easy to break even the hardest of materials. Her body is capable of going through similar changes, albeit less dramatic in nature. If she were to say change her arm, it could become nearly as flexible as a rubber band, or as hard as an anvil.

Bio: Shizuka was once a student in a keyblade Academy, however when it was destroyed by the Empire she was forced to hide her identity as a wielder of the legendary weapon. She begrudgingly joined the Unbound Hearts, as she dislikes violence.

Name: Acesto
Age: 16
Gender: Male

Personality: Ace is a reserved kid. He doesn't talk much, and when he does it tends to be brief. He occasionally speaks more, however he only does so when he believes a strong point must be made. He carries himself with an air of maturity not seen often in kids his age, which shows in how he perceives and treats others. He always approaches people in a calm and kind manner, and has a knack for getting on everyone's good side. He is pretty much incapable of telling a lie as he believes they just create more trouble in the long run, and he can be counted on to keep a promise. He doesn't like hurting others, and will try anything to resolve a conflict without casualties. Even if the person is his worst enemy, Ace will still find room for sympathy. Ace's kind attitude can also be his bane. He puts too much pressure on himself to succeed, and often becomes depressed if he lets someone down. He can also be stubborn if he sees things in a different light than someone else, and while he is a logical thinker he will not accept any solution that threatens someone's well being.

Appearance: Ace stands at 5''8 tall and he has a tan skin complexion. His hair is long enough that it falls just above his shoulders, and is colored a dark auburn. His hair is usually let loose, though he takes care of it so it keeps its natural sheen. His eyes are a piercing aqua, and rather narrow. They are the first thing people tend to notice when they see him. He has a timid yet determined gaze, as if he knows to take things in stride. The rest of his facial features are soft and non-threatening, a complement to his gentle nature. He has an almost androgynous curvature to his face, with a non-threatening jawline and subtle nose and mouth. His body is fit though he’s not muscle-bound, he does a lot of cardio training so he has a high amount of stamina. As for his clothing he tends to wear very baggy clothes. He doesn't like to have his movement restricted.

Faction: Unbound Hearts

Weapon: A simple katana, sheathed in a worn sheath. A chain hangs on the end of the hilt, the very end of which is broken.

Powers/Abilities: Uncanny spacial awareness:

Strictly speaking, Ace is able to detect and react instantly to any disturbance within fifteen feet of his body. It does not matter who or what it is, he will be able to detect it without fail. If he deems whatever he has detected to be a threat, then he is able to pinpoint it's location and strike with impeccable accuracy. He does this using an advanced form of Iaijutsu, the art of drawing the sword. The draw of his blade is swift, moving so quickly that his blade breaks the sound barrier and creates a sonic boom. Acesto's fighting style is simple, however it has been honed to perfection.

Bio: Along with Shizuka Acesto was once a student in a Keyblade Academy, when it was destroyed he sought out the Unbound Hearts, and joined their ranks.

Name: Ryoko
Age: 22
Gender: Female

Personality: Ryoko at first seems like an all around normal young woman, however her heart and mind have surrendered to the darkness of the world a long time ago. She has a smile that's as fake as a crocodiles, used only as a front to her disturbing persona. She has no problem killing, maiming, torturing, and in fact gets off on it. It's the only time she has an honest smile, seeing the look of despair and hopelessness in someone is ecstasy to her. She has a calm demeanor that betrays her inner sadist. She seldom allows herself to to become upset. She sees the loss of temper as the loss of control, and control is something she holds dear. She is easily inclined to flaunt and flirt, While she does not have an over active sexual appetite she enjoys manipulating people's emotions. The more leverage she has over someone, the better her mood.

Appearance: Ryoko stands at a rather tall height of six feet. Perfect for her, as she enjoys looking down on her victims. Her skin is lightly tanned with a mocha peach complexion. She has straight dark lavender hair that falls down to her hips. She has a sultry body, with extravagant curves and a beautiful face that is framed nicely by her hair. Her mouth and nose are petite and subtle, however her eye's are... Unsettling, as they are always slanted in a haunting fashion, and the blue in them is like azure steel, cold and empty. She carries herself with a confident aura, with prideful elegant strides and an intellectual visage.

Faction: Empire

Powers/Abilities: Black Blood: her blood has become infused with the power of darkness. She has to cut herself to use the ability, but that hardly bothers her. It pours out in the form of a murky black liquid and can be controlled by her will. It can be formed into various shapes and even crystallized to attack her foes. It also contains a potent venom, which if it get's into someone's blood will cause extreme pain in small douses, hallucinations in moderate amounts, and finally paralysis in large douses. This blood also gives her an enhanced healing factor. If she wills it minor cuts and damage can be healed within moments. More severe wounds can take upwards of hours to heal and require her utmost attention and focus.

--------------------------------------------------------

Just need to add the Bio, but working on that with Tundra. ^^

Nomis Clacverk

Name: Nomis 'Alexander' Clacverk

Age: 47

Gender: Male

Personality: With the kind, happy grin on his face, there are some who would consider Nomis to be nothing more than a friendly old man. For those who have just barely heard of him, they would believe the word that he is a kind man, one who has helped many of the more technologically advances of progress within the Empire itself, spreading throughout its various colonies and cities, especially that of Radiant Garden.

Even within the ranks of the Empire itself, many believe him to be this kind of man, one who shies away from anything aggressive in nature. And they would be right. Anyone who would never have been present to see him fight would think as such, and in turn would not have seen the chaos that would have spread due to him. It’s almost as if he enjoys seeing this, the way people can quickly turn on one another in an instant, especially if nudged just slightly in the direction he wants.

There are some who have said that there is almost a father like quality about Nomis, appearing as somewhat the father figure to more of the younger ranks of the Empire. No one knows for sure what Nomis is really like, as nearly everyone who knows of him could have their own unique take on the man. Whether kind, friendly and fatherly; or chaos loving and aggressively crazy, or perhaps even a combination of them all, whatever the case one thing is certain, there’s nothing like him.

Appearance: Standing at a rather average height, around 5’7/8, Nomis is what one could consider an elegant gentleman to look like. His dark hair is kept to just above his shoulders, and though it is kept relatively neat, the hair still retains a somewhat thick and mane like look. His bright blue eyes can be seen through his oval shaped lens glasses, along with his very pale looking skin.

Being that his face is the only part which shows his skin, it is taken into regard that the rest of his body is very much the same. With the rather sickly pale skin, his face seems to match it well, appearing to sink inwards around his cheeks and under his eyes, giving him the look of a man nearly on deaths door. One who seems very happy for it to come, judging by the large grin that is always present on his lips.

The long dark brown trench coat appears much thicker than any ordinary kind used for simple wearing; making it more suitable to protect one from dangerous burns or sparks while working. Though the thickness seem to suggest this, the actual look of it, complete with various belts and deep pockets seem to fit more with a coat used for everyday use.

The black thinly stripped trousers match well with the deep shade of red that the waistcoat is dyed with, even more so with the white shirt that can just be seen behind it, before it too is blocked by the delicately tied cravat, complete with the ruby etched pin upon it. The pair of polished black dress shoes would be the only choice to accompany the rest of the outfit, showing with the rest of the clothes that Nomis wears it all to look well dressed, and more so not for any sort of protection.

Faction: The Empire

Weapon:

Funesta Arundo/Tainted Cane: While not necessarily a weapon in its normal form, Nomis wields an elegantly crafted cane, made out of a strange dark metal that seems to suck in light that falls upon it. The entire object is made from this metal, both the handle itself which appears in the shape of a perched bird and the long pole of the cane itself. The cane itself holds an immense weight within it, making it nearly impossible for others to hold let alone wield it besides Nomis, who uses it as if it was just an ordinarily weighted cane. The cane also reacts the same of all that are under the influence of Nomis’ power below, especially in its changing properties.

Powers/Abilities:

Taint Creation/Manipulation: Discovered from an early age, Nomis found this power during the same time of his accident. By physically touching a metal compound, he can fully absorb the “raw” substance in order to create what is known as Taint. This infected metal is under his full control and is able to reshape itself into all manner of different objects, most commonly in the form of tiny solid gears.

Due to his affliction denying him the ability of any form of quick movements, Nomis uses his power greatly in both offensive and defensive. With said Tainted Gears, any and all raw metals can become lodged with them, allowing the gears to spread their taint and control over it for Nomis. So long as the gears remain embedded within the metal, his power over it remains until they are removed. Even then, the Taint can still remain for a short time afterwards, keeping somewhat of a timed link with it and Nomis. Metal under the influence of the Taint can be manipulated mentally by Nomis, whether in its original raw form or reshaped with other metals to form crude constructs.

The rate in which he can absorb metal, is equal to the amount and size of the element. While steel bars may be broken down and remade into Taint in seconds, objects up to and including steel girders and frames may take anywhere from minutes to hours. Once absorbed, this ethereal Taint can be made into a much more physical substance. However just like the absorption process, causing the Taint to regain its matter changes with time. Taint which is immediately formed into existence takes on a much more breakable structure, finding itself shattering with ease when enough force is applied against it. With time however, the longer said physical Taint is given to meld into reality, the stronger it reinforces itself, to the point that it may be stronger than any normal tempered weapon, perhaps even more so.

Taint appears to even be capable of spreading to those of living beings, augmenting their own strengths but losing their own motor functions in place of Nomis’ control. This has been shown to be possible, by the introduction of Taint through wounds such as cuts and stabs. It is theorized to spread to the iron within the body slowly, though as is the case with the metal, so long as there is no source of Taint constantly entering the body, it will eventually fade with time.

Nomis’ connection with the Tainted metal used to be fixed over a certain distance, gradually growing weaker the farther and longer he stayed away before completely losing any and all will power with the manipulating objects. This however changed after a considerable accident fell upon him. After which he seemed to gain some kind of inhuman bonding with the strange dark metal, his will towards it in any way seeming to occur at a moment’s thought.

Expert Counter: While never considered the quickest in his youth, both inside and out of battle, Nomis started to learn various sword and hand to hand movements in order to protect himself should the worse happen and his power and abilities are unable to keep his opponents at bay. These forms of self-defense proved very useful, allowing many cases for the young scientist to retreat and stall until help arrived. Nowadays however the thought of Nomis getting even a scratch seems like a ridiculous notion, it being seen that the man is able to parry and reflect any strike that has tried to cut him down, all with the use of his own cane.

Though the same can be done with just as similarly sized swords, this normally never comes up, not with the strange Tainted metal which covers his hands like gloves, and perhaps even other parts of his body. Acting as his own personal hand guards, the metal packs quite a devastating punch, more so from a man his age. These skills aren’t normally used to deal a final strike on enemies, they are more used in order to force the opponent into retreat and back into him using his power.

Extras:

Machinations / Constructs

Using his power in the creation of the gear like objects of Taint, Nomis is capable of construction complex machines and in some cases entire forms of life, all by willing the objects to work together like the parts of a body. The number and complexity of the gears determines in most all cases the size, strength, intelligence, etc of the construct, with larger numbers allowing a greater range of influence over their surroundings. The original or "Heart" gear of all constructs acts as the focal point of which all others swarm around. Composed of a slightly higher density than the rest, this "Gear Core" can be momentarily stopped if enough damage is dealt to the main form, its task always being to reassemble the core construct. If damaged severely and directly in the core, the loss of it is more than enough to render the rest of the gears, and in relation the construct itself, dead and harmless.

Cruatires - Some of the more simpler constructs of Nomis. Needing only a few dozen gears per creature, the objects attract a wide range of metal from around its surroundings, in order to form these wolf like creatures. Though not difficult to damage the outward casing, the failure to eliminate even one of the Gear Cores can change a normally simple encounter into a big problem, fast.

Faoladhs - Always the next step in the forms of the Cruatires. Created when there is an over-abundance of metal materials and gears but not enough Gear Cores to form Cruatires. In these cases, the remaining Gear Cores take on much more of the raw materials, their forms adding onto one another to create these werewolf styled creatures. The pack of Faoladhs are always smaller than the beginning Cruatires, but the machines easily make up their short numbers with their increased level of strength, resistance, and speed. Though they are much more ferocious than their younger brethren, the same principle of their demise remains, albeit not as easily as before.

Crogalls - The final and rarest of the Cruatires evolution line. Just as the Faoladhs come into creation from an over-abundance of materials, so too do the Crogalls. However, such a massive amount is needed, that the creation of just one Crogall can take up the resources capable of easily filling many crates. The creature a Faoladh becomes is quite monstrous. As if a combination of a werewolf and a crocodile, the Crogall stomps around on four massive paws, its large torso concealing the small (compared to its size) arms which keep tightly packed against its metal ribs until needed. The beast's long tail can slam through a brick wall with ease, and if given a straight line can quickly reach speeds similar to that of a speeding car.

Birugs - Similar to Cruatires, Birugs are created with the least amount of gears and Gear Core needed per pile of raw metal material. Unlike the simple minded approach of construction given to the Cruatires, Birugs are in all occasions formed directly by Nomis himself, and with only the purest raw materials. It is this reason Birugs are nearly always identical in appearance and substance, the floating eyes somehow causing themselves to repel each other and the ground in order to move freely through the air. This sort of repellent nature means they are easier to break than the Cruatires, due to their insides having more empty space to allow the gears to float and move, while the Cruatires and its evolved forms are more tightly packed. Though they are capable of altering their forms, this is only possible when otherwise designed by Nomis himself to begin with. Otherwise, each and every Birug is equipped with a single but powerful projectile launcher.

Balors - Created only with a minimal of three intact* Gear Cores (*Though three are needed, so long as there is one solid and working core, the needed remaining two have only to be not severely damaged in order to qualify.) the gears resonant with the combined cores in order to pull in a colossal amount of materials from its immediate surroundings. In their wake the Cores form a massive sphere around themselves and their large swarm of gears, their new construct much too heavy to fly but still capable of repelling between itself and ground minutely. This allows the otherwise impossible to move machine the ability to not only force movement upon itself, but with less friction grants it an immense build up of speed and power. From a small collection of spherical eye slots along its top most rim, the Balors able to launch a devastating shot of energy, the source coming from the projectile launchers when in their Birug forms.

[docblargle]

Name: Trisean
Age: 25
Gender: Male

Personality: Trisean seems to bring a youthful energy to everything he does. Whenever he does something, he does it with the full-most enthusiasm and gusto. His enthusiasm has a tendency to be infectious, and has been known to energize people working on the most boring of tasks. Most would see Trisean as childish in his demeanor, but he also possesses a wisdom one can only gain from having a very bad day. Trisean tries to be an optimist about everything, and tries to see and bring out the best in people. However, this energetic demeanor can be broken in two ways. If Trisean's friends were ever hurt by anything or anyone, he goes into a rage, and will attempt to exact revenge on the party responsible, if possible. Also, if anyone brings up his past before joining the unbound hearts, he withdraws into himself, become quiet and serious, often a shock to those who know him. Trisean prides freedom above all else, and will strive to his utmost limits defend the freedom of himself, and those he cares about.

Appearance: Standing at about 6 feet tall with a pale complexion, Trisean exudes an aura of confidence. He has brown hair that reaches his shoulders, and is neatly parted to the left. Trisean has an average but well toned build from years of training, sporting a fair degree of muscle. He has strange, piercing red eyes that look like they've seen more then he'll ever tell, contrasted by the youthful glow of his face. He wears a leather jacket with sleeves that only go down to his elbows, though his weapons, when not in use, wrap around the rest of his arms disguised as the rest of his sleeves. He also wears a pair of jeans.

Faction: Unbound Hearts

Weapon: "Bound Magical Conduit Whips"

Trisean possesses two magically augmented black whips that have been bound to his arms. They are connected to his body in such a way that he has total control over them. He is able to swing them in a dexterous fashion with full awareness of where they are in relation to him at all times. They also have minuscule fibers along them that allow them to grab objects. The whips themselves are strong enough that Trisean can use them to grapple. However, the true strength of the whips is that they are attuned to Trisean's magic, allowing him to infuse the whips themselves with some of his power. Trisean can use this to charge the whips with elemental power, or use magic out of the whips themselves.

Powers/Abilities: Magic infusion-
Trisean is able to infuse his body with the elements of traditional magic. Such a technique requires little to no energy from him, and he is able to change his attunement at will, with only a modicum of concentration. Bonding with a particular element gives him both physical and magical improvements. For example, thunder will allow Trisean to move faster, while letting him shoot the spell from his body as opposed to the sky. Blizzard improves his physical resilience, and allows him to manipulate ice around him. Fire improves his strength, and allows him to set himself ablaze without being burned himself. Such forms of attunement exist for every form of traditional elemental magic, though he prefers to use these three.

Dark Infusion-
Trisean is also able to attune himself with the darkness in his heart. Such an attunement is far more powerful then any of is other infusion, but comes at the cost of opening his heart to his darkness temporarily. Trisean has been trained to resist turning into a heartless from this power, but is still susceptible to a degree of corruption from using it. Being attuned to darkness improves all of his physical attributes greatly, and also allows him to use dark magic. Because of its naturally corrupting force, Trisean does not use this power unless he absolutely must, but will not hesitate if he needs to. He goes to great lengths to conceal this power from his friends.

Bio: Trisean was born to a family of magicians. His entire family line consisted of wizards and magic users of great power, and he was no exception. When his magical specialty of self infusion became evident, his father magically crafted whips designed to channel his power, and bound them to his arms. Trisean studied magic intensively under his parents, and clearly had a talent for wielding magical forces. But all that changed when the empire came. Trisean had been exploring ancient magical ruins of his world when he was kidnapped by the empire's forces. They were a full invasion force, and were aware of both him and his family. Because of his high magical potential, Trisean was given a choice. He could either serve as an agent of the empire, or him and his entire family would be hunted down and killed. Trisean chose to serve.

Trisean was taught by the empire's magicians how to combine his heart's darkness with his powers. Over time, the corruptible forces of darkness combined with Trisean's idealism convinced him that the empire was needed to maintain order. After his training and corruption, he willing served as an agent, hunting resistance wherever it was found. Oddly, he was never sent to fight the unbound hearts, only smaller scale resistances. Eventually, Trisean was sent to quell an uprising on his home world. Since he knew the people there, Trisean thought he could convince them to stand down with words. He was wrong. Trisean was forced to put down the resistance of his own people with violence. As if adding insult to injury, after destroying the resistance, Trisean found that in his absence his family had been slaughtered by the empire for being a "potential threat".

The combined guilt of all of this snapped Trisean out of the delusions of his corruption, and he swore to exact revenge on the empire. Using his contacts one last time, he tracked down a force of the unbound hearts, and offered to join. Ever since, Trisean has been working to bring down the empire he once served, and exact revenge for his family.

[Hero]

WIP

Name:
Asuka
Age:
16
Gender:
Female

Personality:
A girl who is fueled by her passion, Asuka is a confident, courageous individual. She believes strongly in justice and doing what’s right, as goodness and righteousness is how one becomes a hero. She is a cheerful person who strives to see the best in anyone and everything around her. Life is a blessing, something that should be enjoyed every single moment. Despite her bold attitude, she is generally a very friendly person, though the extent of the friendship tends to be wavered somewhat depending on the person and her first impression of them.

Because she often lets her emotions get the best of her, there are times when she will rush things and be reckless. This, coupled with her rather sheltered and naïve mind, tends to get her into more trouble than it needs to. Often hesitant when it comes to her own emotions, she tends to bury them and put on a smile, deciding its best to avoid any more problems than necessary. While she tries to be serious, you can easily say that she wears her heart on her sleeve. She tends to take insults too seriously, but refuses to let anyone know, often looking upset about it while she’s by herself.

Appearance:

A young girl with light brown hair reaching her waist, wrapped with three white bands at the ends, with two bundles of hair split from the rest hanging in front with three bands each. She has a round face with fair skin and big, green eyes. Her slender figure is covered by a purple, green, and black ensemble; a purple and black shirt covers her top, while a gold and green skirt covers her bottom with a black wrap around her waist. She wears white thigh-highs with a purple strap around her right thigh. She wears one arm length glove on her right arm, her left arm wearing a black band and a short black and gold glove.

Faction:
Unbound Hearts

Weapon:
Asuka wields the Kingdom Key keyblade.

Powers/Abilities:
Heart Shine : Asuka covers herself in pure light. This ‘cloak’ is clearly visible, and starts at her heart, then envelops her whole body. When in this state, her physical touch varies depending on who she touches; she cannot harm anyone or thing that has light, rather healing them. Should she touch anyone or thing or darkness, they will experience pain and her touch causes damage. She also cannot harm or heal denizens of twilight, however, they also cannot harm her. This state can hypothetically go for days, but in practice, it is used for short amounts of time.

Barrier Shield : Asuka can produce a barrier that she uses as a shield. It is clearly visible and colored a light, pastel yellow. Most of the time its size is very small, as its usually place where her left arm is, acting like a small, lightweight shield. In order for her to increase its size, she would have to use both hands, rendering her unable to attack and possibly leaving her back open. Its size can increase to roughly around her height, but because this tends to leave her open, she prefers her smaller size.

Divine Retribution : An interesting, risky ability, Asuka can cast a protective spell over a person, and whatever damage that person takes is magically transferred to Asuka. In other words, they’re temporarily invincible while Asuka acts as a sponge taking in all the hits. A dangerous ability that cannot be undone for a good five minutes, it lasts until Asuka is knocked out. Can be spread over more than one person, but really, isn’t taking a single beat down enough?

Bio:
WIP

[SoleAccord]

Name - Rika Masaki

Age - 18

Gender - Female

Personality - Rika is a woman of many faces, so many that her true personality is hard to decipher from the unintellectual. She is, at her core, a calculating, playful, and downright dangerous individual that should never be underestimated. Given instruction in how to put on many different personalities at will from an early age, it is difficult to describe just how she is without having given the opportunity to get to know her. Possessive when holding trinkets or a wealth of money, the attitude of this young woman often resembles that of a young rogue stealing from the rich and returning to the forgotten poor; the irony of this is that Rika steals for the fun of it, basing the assumptions of their financial situation on stance, attire, and facial expressions.

Finding it fun to gather information on people of interest, Rika is often nosy to those that catch her interest and will often pry to discover more from people. Along with her excitable attitude, she is a major flirt and takes pride and pleasure in leading people on with her body and words, finding it intense sport and a great stress reliever when she chooses certain people to really have fun with. Erotic situations are not strange to her, yet she still has her self-respect and will refuse those who are trying too hard or trying too little. All of these and more make Rika an incredibly judgmental person, at least initially, and first impressions are the most important thing to her. You get one shot and one shot only, from there working your way up to respect is a harsh road. She is much more suited to getting along with people with some varying emotions, and hates being bored with those who are playing the ‘tough guy’ role too much.

She lies, she steals, and she can even slit a man’s throat with a smile on her face. A beautiful woman with a taste for the darker side of things, Rika has always insisted that she’d never kill someone who didn’t ultimately deserve it. This leads her to believe that she is one smart enough and skilled enough to judge who should live or die. For all her faults, a soft spot in her heart is still held for the weak who are unable to provide for themselves. Were she not blessed with her family and her own life, she believes that she’d be scraping by just like anyone else. Her sympathy is not easily earned, but it’s only when you have nothing else to lose that she takes note of your guts. Bravery without jeopardizing an advantage, an appreciation of the subtle, and a joy of life’s pleasures are gateways to her affection.

Appearance - Standing at 5’10 with an athletic build, Rika’s features are very visibly soft no matter how much work she puts into her body, leaving her a ridiculously gorgeous young lady. She has long bright blonde hair that normally reaches to her upper back, keeping it in a ponytail updo with moderately-sized uneven strands falling from the main bundle. Her eyes are a brilliant emerald shade that seem to glow brighter when light hit’s the surface of her eyes. With pride in appearance, Rika flaunts herself whenever she finds it fun or appropriate. She wears a fitting black tube top that stops a few inches above her navel, fully exposing her midriff. Atop it is a gray leather jacket that is loose fitting and almost always remains unzipped to help expose the feminine figure she has maintained for so long.

Below it are matching gray cargo pants that cling to her lower half comfortably, accompanied by fitting black athletic shoes with white laces and very tough soles. There is no trace of ink anywhere on her body, nor cosmetics. No accessories of any kind can be located; her body is purely standard, without any needless additions to it. With an eye-catching attractive body, she carries herself with open confidence, believing she has the ability to get by anyone who didn’t know her any better. All features of her are expressive of her own opinion of beauty; either you have it naturally, or you don’t, and she knows which side of the fence she’s on in regards to it.

A little occasional drinking doesn’t hurt though, and to that end Rika carries with her a double-lobed wine gourd. The gourd has a double braided purple silk cord with two tassels. The gourd is kept securely to the left hip, and is almost always filled to the brim. It is light brown in color, a small brown cork plugged tightly at the top.

Faction - "Weighing my options ..."

Weapon - http://fc01.deviantart.net/fs26/f/2008/040/f/d/Prop_Forgin_____FFX_2_Rikku_by_Rociel_Redgraves.jpg

A pair of Sai Rika likes to refer to as ‘Chaos and Harmony’, these blades have been utilized in the past to change the course of history multiple times. Composed of a highly durable yet lightweight metal Rika suspects isn’t easily found on her world, the blades have been taken care of very well despite being so old. Brought to its chosen by a “Bond”, they are best suited for preemptive attacks and quick strikes, making them the perfect weapon for an agile wielder with enough agility to handle them effectively. In spite of parrying not being the ideal method battle when open combat is concerned, she is capable of holding her group with just one of these in hand, standing firm against all but the most physically overwhelming of opponents. Through the channeling of her own natural energy, an abundance of it, she can make the edge of her weapons sharper and deadlier by focusing the energy to increase the ability to puncture and slice. No sound is emitted when the wielder doesn’t want to be heard, this includes summoning the weaponry and enhancing its already generous ability to kill.

Note:These Sai will be the precursor to the Oblivion and Oathkeeper keyblades later on.

Abilities/Talents/Attributes -

Dead Silence / Iron Lung - Rika’s movements, her steps, are all incredibly silent to the point that only the greatest of listeners could detect her steps when she is intentionally sneaking, and even then it‘d be extremely difficult. Without intending to be she will be silent in all open actions due to her lineage and training. With this in mind, do not expect to ever hear her approach with ease, not even for a second. Her steps are too gentle and smooth, her movements too subtle and calculated. Rika is easily capable of getting the jump on others, even those who were expecting her arrival.

She is also capable of going an extended amount of time without drawing breathe, completely dulling audible sound.

Robbed Blind - Rika can steal, not only steal, but steal very damn well to the point that she’d be the last person you’d suspect of the act. Whether lifting important documents or slipping into someone’s pockets for a set of keys, she is not to be underestimated in the field of theft. Her hands are considered featherweight, to the point that you’d hardly feel anything unless she was squeezing you or jabbing very hard. Featherweight hands does not mean she has a weak grip, it merely means it is hard to feel them in say, a pocket, or a bag.

Agility and Alertness - Rika is a very fast, very mobile mover and is difficult to catch without apprehension of what that would mean. One would find that without significant experience in hitting what’s prepared to constantly move at any sign of trouble, she is damn near impossible to ensnare. With her swiftness in avoiding others and evading multiple targets while breaking the situation down before her eyes, she is also aware when a large amount of focus is put on her whether from attraction or hostile intentions. As a thief, she must always be alert for anyone attempting to catch her or even follow her. Her profession is not only stalking, but minding when she herself is being stalked or suspected for anything, meaning her self-awareness is heightened to the point she can literally feel eyes on her.

Agility also includes her ability to bend her body very well. Rika’s flexibility isn’t to be come into question, and it helps her avoid otherwise close calls.

Eavesdropper - Some people can hear really well when they try to, but Rika can do it without trying. Her auditory abilities are arguably one of the strongest traits she has even outside of combat. Verbal secrets are impossible to hide from her if she is in the vicinity, as she’ll single those she wants to hear out and listen to everything they say casually regardless of a crowd nearby or not. It doesn’t end there; she can read lips precisely and has a minimal rate of failure when doing so. She is gifted with exceptional information gathering abilities

Escape Artist - In her line of work, Rika always needs a way out. She has a knack for getting out of grips and bindings, but explaining how is difficult, as she just ‘does it’. Holding onto her without both hands is a chore and is not recommended if you expect to apprehend her. It’s almost like magic. This also extends to her ability to escape in combat whether blinded or stunned. Her survivability is great.

Acrobatic Acceleration - Rika has the skills of both pursuit and escape, reaching her top speed while taking tight corners and sudden stops is no problem for someone of her caliber. She can scale surfaces with relative ease. Her lower body strength is not to be taken lightly. As well as being able to achieve her top speeds quickly, she may also jump very, very far with a good running start. This skill also has it appear as though gravity is no object to her. She can land on her feet from great heights with minimal damage.

Poker Face - Rika can bluff incredibly well, even when looking someone dead in the eye. Her ability to ‘act’ her way out of any situation has so far been unchallenged. Happiness, sadness, she can project almost any emotion at any time in order to accomplish her objectives. This goes hand in hand with her charm, allowing her to seduce others and definitely tempt them, allowing her to do what she will with them or without them. Because of her ability to lie so incredibly well, this makes her a natural at detecting lies. The signs to her are much clearer, and due to her hearing she can detect a noticeable increase in heart rate. Lying to her is one of the hardest things anyone can do, besides kill her of course.

-Bloodline-

There are a handful of abilities that put Rika on a more superhuman level, but not heavily. Her family has passed down these techniques from child to child for many generations. Rika has acquired them at a young age, and has mastered them very well. The key is survival, and gaining the upper hand in any situation.

Visible Crossroad - Rika can create a perfect copy of herself, the only difference being that it is not physically there. Her image is perfectly projected and has no known limited range, and is primarily used for messaging, feints, and escapes. It moves like Rika, it talks like Rika, there is no possible way to distinguish the real from the fake without either somehow being able to know where the real one is, and that’s a challenge on its very own, or anticipating her feint. Though they are not physically there to touch, they can still make sounds of their own. This ability is usually used in conjunction with another. There is no known limit Rika has.

Imperceptible - A state of nearly complete invisibility is achieved via a field created by the users own body. This field cloaks Rika’s body and items, completely disappearing from physical view as well as concealing her shadow. She has is complete invisibility from all basic senses. Her already silent movements become impossible to pick up on by conventional means. Making her presence vanish, she effectively destroys the three primary ways of effective fighting. She is still physically there, and can be touched, but by the time she’s gone she’ll likely be impossible to grab at that point. With her natural energies in a highly reduced state, this also makes her fighting power limited as long as she is in this state.

Lastly, in the effort to completely remove her existence, her body will react to this by slowing organ operation, blood flow and having her body grow cold over time. This puts a considerable strain on her body the longer she uses it, and can kill her if she extends too far.

Accelerated Opener - Quickly deducing her options, Rika may make choices in record time to help her survive an encounter or an overwhelming situation. Exits are decided, strategic options are considered, but more importantly the areas of lethal attack are gone over quickly. Rika’s body will accelerate in rate of attack and speed in order to quickly put her plan into action, though no physical change is noticeable.

Last Stand - “When ones very existence is threatened …”

The ability that overwrites the rules and weaknesses of the last, it is useable only when Rika is in a situation of heavy emotional or physical stress and something very important to her, namely her life or the life of another is threatened. Her illusionary copies will become purely physical versions of herself and do everything she is capable of. Her ability to snuff out her existence comes true and without the faults of bodily harm. Her accelerated skills become faster and even more precise than before. There is no cool down to this ability, nor has Rika learned how to utilize it at will. As a level-headed girl who can find her way out of nearly any situation, this is not seen often.

Other -

- Rika has quite an issue with being referred to as a ‘ninja’. Calling her this has social repercussions that are difficult to recover from ..unless you’re adorable. In most cases you will be labeled as an idiot and won’t be conversing with her for the rest of your life.

- She has a heavy dislike of magical forces such as artificial lightning or fire. There is no real indication as to why this is, but the fact remains.

- She comes from a long line of professional thieves and expert assassins, thus her skill set has as much history as her family itself.

[Piercing Light]

Since I could not care less about bios, all temps submitted thus far are accepted. I'll try to start the RP tomorrow.

[Bright_Ops]

Name: Henry Leroy
Age: 32
Gender: Male

Personality: Doctor Henry Leroy was a highly respectable up and coming man of science on his home world seven years ago, a practitioner of of metaphysical science who was well liked by the members his home worlds society for being a morally upstanding and decent citizen who often engaged in charity work. Despite enjoying a reputation as a courteous and genial man Doctor Leroy was often haunted by dark impulses and desires that would threaten to destroy his reputation to scandal if he was ever to be caught indulging them. While his own personal motivation for doing so was kept a closely guarded secret, he was not shy about his life's work to discover a way to purge the darkness from ones heart and soul.

After the destruction of his homeworld by the dark forces of the Empire, Doctor Leroy still makes a show of being a kind and upstanding man despite everything but it is clear to those who speak to him that the good doctor is little more then a shadow of his former self, haunted by demons unknown.

Appearance: Dr Leroy appears as a man in his prime. Pale skinned, brown eyed and with short black hair, Henry Leroy often appears as a gentleman of high society that needs to appear as well kept as possible no matter the situation. While he is almost never seen without wearing some kind of high class suit, the state of disrepair and clearly poor patchwork that has gone into maintaining them reflects the hard times he has fallen on.

Faction: Unbound Hearts.

Weapon: Dr Leroy does not wield a keyblade, instead preferring his rapier.

Dr Leroy is also prone to throwing various chemical concoctions around to various effects in battle, depending on the situation and what he has prepared beforehand for the occasion.

Powers/Abilities:

Skilled duelist: Henry's rapier might not be a keyblade, but few people have ever gone into a one on one battle with Henry and lived to tell the tale. Believing in swordplay and skill over raw power, Henry prefers to strike hard and fast to kill or cripple his opponent (Often times when they try to launch an overextended swing at him).

Master of Alchemy and Metaphysical Science: Dr Leroy earned a name and reputation for himself as a man to watch in the field of metaphysical science, his goal of finding a way to purify the heart and soul of darkness the subject of much praise and intrigue back before the Empire consumed and destroyed his homeworld. Given enough time, resources and experimentation, he can produce a concoction to do just about anything.

Water Mage: Very few living people know about the fact that Henry Leroy appears to have a natural talent at using water magics. He intentionally keeps it secret these days in order to give himself a trump card if the situation calls for it on the grounds that the enemy can't counter something that they don't know is there.

The Dark Side of Me: By taking a certain concoction (Or sometimes at complete random) Henry Leroy's body can shift into a new, dangerous form that was created due to a failed attempt to purge himself of darkness. This form goes by the name Edward Andormu. The fact that Edward is a part of himself and he transforms into him is a secret that Henry would never betray willingly.

Mr Andormu

Name: Edward Andormu
Age: Appears 23
Gender: Male

Personality: Edward Andormu is a man that is clearly driven by passion and desire above all else. He does not care for social norms and will happy laugh as he discards such minor self inflected illusions such as morality or basic decency in the pursuit of what he currently desires. Edward does not give a damn about the well fare of others and will happily cause pain and misery as he sees fit either in pursuit of what he wants or simply because it sounded like fun at the time. Edward hates law and authority solely because its very nature attempts to restrict him from enjoying himself to the fullest, one of the only things that Edward considers a sin.

While clearly a man that lives solely to indulge himself with his own lusts and desires at all costs, Edward Andormu is surprisingly a very intelligent man; While he is more then able to come up with some surprisingly complex plans, he simply prefers to be straight forward and take what he wants if at all possible. After all, why make a complex plan when a mask and a crowbar can get the same end result much quicker and easier nine times out of ten?

If there is one person that Edward loathes above all else, it is Henry. The very embodiment of order trying to control him, Edward hates his 'unpure' personality and gladly awaits the day when he will finally be rid of it once and for all.

Appearance:

Edward is a truly hideous creature of a man. While many people would claim you can never judge a book by its cover, even the most naive and trusting of people would feel unease and dread at the thought of being in Edward's company. As a matter of personal choice Edward tends to wear suits but his tend to be somewhat cheaper and easier to get then his counterpart Henry's are. Those who take the time to inspect Edward properly will get the impression that he is physically very healthy and intimidatingly strong.

Faction: None.

Weapon:

While he may pick up and use more mundane weapons or use what is on hand to nasty effect more often then not, Edward tends to use his keyblade either for battle or when he is simply in the mood to shred someone in his way.

Powers/Abilities:
Creation of Darkness: Edward Andormu was created during one of Dr Leroy's attempts of purifying his heart and soul of darkness. Instead of banishing his darkness like intended, Henry's experiment caused his body to transform into a new and hideous form while causing the darkness in him to become a full on personality in the form of Edward Andormu. Edward is a being created from darkness itself and the strange nature of his 'birth' not only makes him immune to dark magic, but using dark magic on him seems to empower him further.

Leader of the Heartless: It is unclear if Edward has a heart and soul of his own or if sharing a body with his creator Henry has resulted in him benefiting from Henry's own. What is known however is that on the occasions when Edward is in control and wandering around, it isn't strange for Heartless to appear in order to do his bidding. Henry suspects that the reason they do so is because Edward is so similar to them that they believe him to be one of their own.

Inhuman Powerhouse: Edward is frightfully powerful when it comes to physical strength. Clearly stronger then a human has any right to be, few beings can go toe to toe with Edward in a physical fight and survive.

Fire mage: The flames of Edward's desires, passions and fits of rage can very easily be used to set the world around him on fire if he so chooses.

Bio: Henry was forced to abandon his home world due to the newly established Empire assaulting it, destroying it completely in the process in an attempt to ensure that Henry's research into purging darkness from the heart and soul was brought to a halt and completely destroyed. Joining the Unbound Hearts out of a need to survive and to continue his research Dr Leroy rarely takes place in the group's activities, instead often supplying them with the concoctions they need to get the job done or medical attention when required.

[Piercing Light]

hmm, just one thing bright ops, I'd prefer if all keyblades took the form of actual keys, otherwise it's good to go, and I like the dr jekyll and mr hyde vibe.

oh, also my OP post might be delayed, sorry bout that.

[Bright_Ops]

A little bit of editing and done.

And thank you. I was going for a Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde vibe. It's going to get... interesting fairly quickly.

[Piercing Light]

Alright, thanks, he's accepted.

[docblargle]

Hey, to anyone with an empire character, would they have potentially known Trisean? He did serve as an agent for them for some time before joining the unbound hearts. Also, no one in the unbound hearts knows that.

[Piercing Light]

I wouldn't say it's outside the realm of possibility for a member of the Empire to know him. My character Ryoko should know him, for one, she doesn't forget traitors.
