Sousuke stopped dead in his tracks, "Wait..." he turned a sharp gaze onto the 2nd Year, "...your Club's not even official?" then he... laughed? Well, he laughed a little bit, but then he let out an exasperated sigh, "I can't get anything out of an unofficial club..." he muttered under his breath, while rubbing his temples. After a moment he looked back at the 2nd Year student, "Sorry. Not interested." he said suddenly. Strange that someone would appear to show interest only to withdraw it a moment later. But that was what happened, and then Sousuke took off on his own. With no other plans for the day, the only thing he could think of to do was kill some time at the arcade, so that was where he headed.

"D-Damage?" Sousuke snatched the Master Gundam off the desk and hurriedly, "W-Where? I just finished it, how's it damaged?" it hadn't actually occurred to Sousuke that his build just plain sucked. But wait, why was this 2nd Year guy so interested in his Master Gundam? Sousuke's shoulders slumped with the realization. He was about to be invited into yet another Club was he? There really was no point, since he could have to move again and thus leave the club behind. Still, he needed a payout of some kind, so maybe...
"Gunpla Club, right?" he asked, then quickly slid the Master Gundam back into the carry case, "Show me your Club, I wanna see it for myself." if the 2nd Year was serious, he'd have no problem giving Sousuke the quick tour. But Sousuke wasn't about to make any commitments before even seeing the club first. That would just be foolish. He picked his book bag up off the floor at his feet and slung it over his shoulder, "We're going, right? Well, lead the way."

He picked his book bag up off the floor at his feet and slung it over his shoulder, "We're going, right? Well, lead the way."
"Well, seeing as classes are over..." Kikkawa muttered to himself, as he reached down for his belt. He grabbed the stylish trilby hat clipped to his belt, even flipping it into his hand before gently placing it on his head. He rubbed his finger across the brim to ensure that the hat was straightened properly, "...much better." the school didn't really like him wearing his hat during class, but classes were over for the day so as far as Sousuke Kikkawa was concerned, that meant he no longer had to adhere to the dress code.
"Oh, right... guess I should put the finishing touches on that, shouldn't I?" he reached down again, this time for the portable Gunpla case carrier on the opposite side of his belt. He opened the leather flap and pulled a Gunpla model from the case. He then grabbed the portable polishing kit from his book bag and went to work, right there at his desk. Classes were over so surely no one would mind. After a few brush strokes, Sousuke put the kit down and then admired his work a bit, "...hmph, there, now no one can say I can't build a Gunpla." in his hands was... a completely and utterly standard SD Master Gundam model. It had no distinctive qualities to it whatsoever. The quality of the build was completely, utterly, average... at best. In fact Sousuke literally just followed the instructions and nothing more.
"Pfft, like extra polish and coats of paint are really gonna change how it battles..." Sousuke was a practical thinker. In his mind it was purely the parts and weapons that determined the battling capability of the Gunpla. Flashy paint jobs, extra polish, that was all flash and no substance. That was how the actual Mobile Suits worked too, right? Sousuke hadn't ever actually sat down and watched through any of the anime. Box art descriptions told him all he needed to know. Besides, there was just too damn many series and nobody ever seemed to be able to give a straight answer on what was important and what was skippable. And Sousuke sure as hell wasn't going to sit through absolutely all the Gundam anime, he had way more important things to do with his free time. Like earning his next payout for example.
Speaking of which, Sousuke's thoughts were interrupted when some loud guy burst through the door and shouted something about Sousuke's whereabouts. Sousuke just cocked an eyebrow, "Um... I'm Sousuke Kikkawa?" he said, probably against his better judgement. The guy looked and was acting pretty odd, and how could Sousuke possibly keep up his coolness by associating with a weirdo for too long?

Renovation
In his own quarters, Zarxe sat in silent contemplation. As he had a free moment, he used that time to think on the memory he had earlier recollected, in particular the word spoken that triggered it: Knighthood. What exactly did that mean to him? Had he been a knight in his previous life? The answers were still unclear, so Zarxe had little choice to give his memories more time to return to him. In the meantime, he wasn't alone in his quarters. Alpha stood nearby the door as if on watch. The other Hunters were still patrolling the palace grounds.
You're beginning to remember?
Zarxe heard the voice, like an echo that none but himself could hear. He looked over at Alpha and only responded after a hesitant pause, "I did. Something about Knighthood, but nothing else." at this point the Nobody reached up and pulled back his hood. His light brown hair becoming easily visible on a figure in all black. Also newly visible was his brown eyes and stern expression. Then, almost without warning, Zarxe spoke again, "How much do you remember?"
Alpha's head turned suddenly, as the canine-like Hunter turned its sharp gaze over to Zarxe. Alpha seemed... surprised. Like this was the first time any of them had ever been asked a question like this. However, Alpha didn't quite get the chance to answer before the Hunter suddenly tensed up.
Something's coming.
Zarxe then stood, though restrained himself from summoning his weapon. Another Nobody seemed to... pop into existence. Its entrance into the room was very slithery, like it had slid in from a tiny opening in the air. It had a vaguely humanoid shape, though small in stature. It's arms and legs looked like nothing more than tendrils, and it's mouth appeared to be little more than an unzipped opening in its face. Like the Hunters, it too bore the mark of Organization XIII on its face. It was a Dusk, the most basic form of Nobody. The Dusks numbers were greater than any of the other "Lessers" but they were also the weakest of their kind in turn. Most importantly, Zarxe did not command any of the Dusks, so this one was here on someone else's orders. There was a pause, as if a silent conversation took place between the Nobodies.
You're being summoned back to headquarters. It seems the Leader desires a progress report.
That was Alpha's message before the Dusk left in the same eerie way it had first appeared, a Corridor of Darknesss appearing in its wake. Seemed Zarxe had little choice but to return now. So, the Nobody calmly stepped through the Corridor with Alpha following close behind.
The World That Never Was ~ Throne Room of Emptiness
Zarxe found himself almost instantly transported to the Throne Room of Emptiness. He was indeed back in the World That Never Was. Sitting before him was Number I, on his throne in his usual posture. None of the other members were present, they all probably had missions of their own to do, and their gathering before was merely a special occasion.
"So..." said the Leader, his tone playful and his grin never changing, "...how'd it go?"
"Smoothly." Zarxe said, with no hesitation. He also found himself taking a knee. This was generally not required within the Organization, but instead it seemed to be an instinct unique to Zarxe, "The Keyblade is indeed a powerful weapon, and the Wielder serving Renovation's Emperor is indeed strong as we suspected. And just as you predicted, Emperor Michael welcomes our olive branch, at least for the time being."
"Oh good, good!" said Number I, even clapping his gloved hands with eagerness, "That means everything's going right on schedule. You have no idea how happy that makes me, Zarxe."
"And, Leader..." Zarxe spoke, adding to the report, "...it seems the Multiverse was created by someone wielding a special Keyblade. We weren't given the full details, but this "X-Blade" appears to be the Key to some ultimate power. And what's more, that Wielder's Nobody is the Wielder serving Emperor Michael. Is... is that the reason you became interested in them?"
Number I widened his grin, his way of confirming the question, "See, this is why I knew you were the right one for this job. You even figured out the twist before I could surprise everyone. Yep, that "X-Blade" is just what we need to fulfill our mission. Find out whatever you can about it and keep me informed."
"The weapon is said to have been broken into twenty pieces, seven of Light and thirteen of Darkness. Michael's goal is find those Seven before a man named Leo does. It sounds like there are others who wish to claim the X-Blade."
"Is that so...?" Number I asked thoughtfully, "...I suppose I'll have to have this Leo looked into. For now, just focus on helping Michael gather those Seven Princesses."
"Yes, Leader." and Zarxe left the throne room without another thought. Only then did he notice that Alpha had not been in the room. Somehow only Zarxe was able to arrive at the intended destination. Instead, Zarxe found Alpha just outside of the Castle... and they weren't alone.
The World That Never Was ~ Castle Entrance
"Did you really think yourself worthy of being in the Leader's presence?" a black-coated Organization Member was shouting at Alpha, and his voice was unmistakably Xagram's, "Don't make me laugh!"
"That's enough!" Zarxe spoke, approaching Xagram, "He was trying to follow my orders, so the mistake was mine."
"Then you should more carefully remember our protocols." Xagram snapped at Zarxe, "And you..." he turned back to Alpha, "...you and your mongrel pack should take a lesson from your Lesser brethren and learn your place!" without warning Xagram kicked Alpha, sending the Hunter flying a short distance and then onto the ground.
"I said that's enough!" said Zarxe again, this time summoning his weapon, "The Hunters are my soldiers, Xagram! Not yours!"
"You would draw your weapon against me?" asked Xagram, who then summoned his own weapon. It was basically a rapier, though very ornate and exaggerated in design, "You forget your place, Zarxe. I am Number XII, which puts me higher than you. Unless you're seriously trying to challenge me for my rank?" it wasn't an often invoked rule, but a member could challenge the member directly above them for their rank in the group, the two switching numbers should the challenger be victorious.
"Enough, both of you." that deathly calm voice could only belong to Xadeth, Number III. The hooded figure acted as if he'd been there all along, "I believe you both have missions to attend to?" this was enough to get Xagram to back down, and so the Nobody dispelled his blade and vanished into a Corridor he opened for himself. Zarxe dispelled his own weapon, but Xadeth spoke again before he could follow suit on returning to his mission, "Xagram seems to hate everything about you. I am unsure why. Perhaps you remind him of something from his previous life? Who knows, but you should tread carefully with some of the others in this Organization. The last thing you need is to make enemies of them." he said no more, and vanished into a Corridor of Darkness.
Now alone, Zarxe opened a new Corridor of Darkness, and he and Alpha returned to Zarxe's quarters in Renovations without sharing any words between them.

Even within the profile I've sewn the seeds for a character arc for Sousuke. Take particular note of the fact that he is 18, and thus will be unable to compete in the Under-19 Tournament next year.
Name: Sousuke Kikkawa
Age: 18
Year: 3rd
Appearance: (If you want)
Personality: When describing Sousuke, only two words really come to mind: Cocky and Driven. Sometimes he can be a little too cocky for his own good, which can and has gotten him into trouble on multiple occasions. In spite of that, his rather driven nature and sometimes unbreakable tenacity to keep pushing forward has often been the thing that got him out of the very trouble that his cockiness gets him into. Some would say that that balances out in the end, while others might find him annoying or just outright frustrating to work with. On top of all that is his apparent need to be as cool as possible. His gestures, way of speech, it's all for the purpose of making an impression and ensuring that people who meet him are not soon to forget his name.
Background: Having moved around several times throughout his life, Sousuke has transferred between many different schools. The subject of why his family moves around so much seems to be a sore spot, as asking him about only seems to make him irritable. Whatever the case, Sousuke is no stranger to being the new kid, and this has made it rather difficult for him to form any kind of bonds with other people... at least none that actually stick. He's also been a member of several different Battle Clubs, at least until his family has to move again and Sousuke has to transfer to another school. This has led him to stop joining the Gunpla Clubs altogether and just focus on developing his Gunpla skills solo. One recurring trait of his was to offer his skills to Gunpla Teams, but not for free. Rather, he would ask for compensation in exchange for his filling out a slot that a team needed filled. Some would call this greedy, but Sousuke prefers the term "Free Agent". As for what Sousuke actually uses his earnings for... no one actually knows, and he tends to just make up an answer when asked.
Battling/Building Ability: Sousuke is definitely more of a battler than a builder. Sure, he can fix his Gunpla with parts, but building an entirely new one was never something he was good at. That being said, Sousuke's Gunpla happens to be a very well-built model with top notch performance and customizations, leading some to wonder how someone with such poor or average building skills managed to get a Gunpla of such quality. The answer is, as usual, something Sousuke prefers to keep to himself.
Mobile Suits:
-Name: Crossbone Joker
-Description: Crossbone Joker is a heavily modified Crossbone Gundam utilizing various utilities and systems from other models. An example of such is the Joker's primary melee weapon, clearly inspired by the GN Swords from Gundam 00. His primary shooting weapon is a high powered beam rifle reminiscent of the Wing Gundam or Wing Gundam Zero. One the Joker's more flashy weapons is the Crossbone Bars mounted on its back. Rather than simply serve as boosters as they do on the official Crossbone model, the Joker's Crossbars can be dismounted and swung or thrown like a giant windmill shuriken. And finally, the Joker possesses another Trump Card, one that Sousuke rarely ever uses if he can help it. It's equipped with a 00-inspired Trans-Am system that turns the Gunpla red and then briefly triples it's overall speed, power, and defense performance. It's primarily a sleek black color that allows it to easily blend into the dark environments of space fields, though retaining the white skull chest piece of the official Crossbone model. Also, its head unit is decorated like a pirate bandana rather than a captain's hat.

@Crimson Lion It's up to you, I'm up for whatever.
@Crimson Lion I mean if there's any way to go forward with this then I'd totally be up for it, just so you know.
@Crimson Lion If this game was going to happen, I'd go Crossbone Gundam for sure. Obviously a heavily modified model but one that originally used the Crossbone Gundam as its template. A sleek, black color palette and retaining the white skull chest piece of the Crossbone. I'd call it Crossbone Joker, or maybe just Joker Gundam. It would also have a surprise Trans-Am burst to use as a trump card in a pinch since, after all, there are two Jokers in a deck: Black and Red. The character himself would be a free agent, a sort of Gunpla Mercenary who can be hired to fight for any team in exchange for money or some other forms of payment.
