See that's what I get for asking such questions at like 2 in the morning.

I was mainly looking forward to a potential trip to Berk later down the line. And I think Po could accidentally teach people a thing or two about hearts with his whole 'The secret ingredient to awesomeness is just, you' bit.

@Sadu

I really like that Po idea. Honestly, both worlds fit the theme of Kingdom Hearts. I'd love to head to Berk and the Valley of Peace. Let's do it.

Kingdom Hearts: Heroes of Hope

Is the FF crew on Traverse Town going off world? I figured they'd stay to keep the town safe once everyone else leaves.

@IAmTheIsland

I meant Matt's Leon. I assumed his characters were going with Hoshi.

Sure.

By the way... seeing as how there are official links between KH and Dreamworks... (And by that I mean Wreck it Ralph being a summon and not a whole lot else) I know we've talked about it in the past but officially, how are we feeling about Dreamworks worlds?

@Sadu

Do you want to start it?

Wreck it Ralph is actually Disney. But I'm honestly cool with DreamWorks worlds being part of the KH Verse. They've always felt like they fit under the Disney/Pixar Umbrella. I still plan on having Alias going to El Dorado after Anastasia. So if any of you want to visit worlds like Shrek, Sinbad, How to Train Your Dragon, and Kung Fu Panda in this or later games, let me know.

@Sadu

Do you want to do a collab with me as Max and Daisy?

<Snipped quote by King Kindred>

Lucian is going to Wonderland to find Alias, and he just leaves. Rude. :P

@Crimson Flame

Lol I imagine them all stopping to pick up Alias and Donald, Zac, Daisy, and Leon are like, "Why is the world sealed? I thought your friend was there. How is the world sealed? Did Alias have a keyblade and a ship, too?"

Kingdom Hearts: Heroes of Hope

Sorry for the lack of response in OOC. Sadu and I discussed a bit more and now we know the direction for the Royal Authorities. There will be 13 in all, but they won't fully come into play until 365/2 and Kingdom Hearts II. So after Deep Jungle and Wonderland Maleficent won't be trying to take them and her knowledge of them atm is limited. Organization VIII has a reason for their name and numbers now. Old Xehanort knows about the Royal Authorities, but not how to snatch them yet, but he plans for each member to acquire one.

That being said, if you want a Nobody in the Organization DM me and let me know so we can start plotting for the group's story.

@mattmanganon

I feel like the best way to incorporate Star Wars or Marvel characters into a story is making sure they don't break the Order or setting of the world.

I don't know if any of you have seen the new Skeleton Crew series, but it's basically Goonies in space about these kids who live on a secluded planet hidden away from the rest of the galaxy. They find a space ship and end up on an adventure crossing paths with pirates who have been looking for a hidden planet of treasure. That planet just so happened to be their home and was an Old Republic Mint that still produces those gold credits.

Figured if you all wanted to test mixing Star Wars into other worlds mixing Skeleton Crew with Treasure Planet would be perfect. Jim could even be Wim's older brother who decided to help his brother pursue adventure after knowing how it sucks being forced to live a mundane life.

I actually really like the idea of the Heart of Atlantis being powered by the light of past Princesses. Could even tie it to the Ancient Keyblade War.

@IAmTheIsland

And that's perfect. Gives them the opportunity to rest, celebrate being alive, and learn Alias is alive while also giving him time to leave Wonderland before y'all get there.

@mattmanganon

I'm fine with Terk not being a Princess of Heart. That was just a hail mary pass to you and Evil.

But some of your suggestions don't fit the criteria for a Princess of Heart, like Meg and Fox for example. The reason why the Princesses are so rare in the series is because they're meant to be people devoid of any darkness in their hearts, not specifically those who are royals or hold royal titles.

So Tiana could and would actually be a Princess of Heart before she married Naveen. Dotty being a Princess of Heart would genuinely make sense with her character, especially her ability to change the world with her joyful songs.

And how would that work for Star Wars? I mean, them fitting into the logic of other worlds. I know you mentioned the Mandalorian being sent to track down Stitch, but that series is for the most part its own thing. The main Star Wars story is too big to force into the framework of other worlds/movies, especially if you want to explore both stories when your characters visit. The closest I can think of is Treasure Planet but that still doesn't make sense.

I kind of see Star Wars as a Radiant Garden situation. Prequels the world will be the Galactic Republic, Sequels the world will be Galactic Empire with it being corrupted by darkness and then returned to the Galactic Republic again.

Kingdom Hearts: Heroes of Hope

Save for Lucian, couldn't we just keep the Princesses the same as in the game? Or do we want to base them loosely off of what worlds we go to?

@IAmTheIsland

Yeah, like in-canon Kairi remained a Princess of Heart so I can see Lucian remaining a Prince as well. The remaining Princesses can be from the worlds we decide to enter in Kingdom Hearts 3 since that's when they explain the Light passed onto a new generation.

Kingdom Hearts: Heroes of Hope

Is alice going to remain a Princess of Light after everything that is going to happen in Wonderland?

Also we can say that each Princess must be granted the blessing from a ruler with Royal Authority. But the remaining six rulers must all unanimously grant their blessing to the magus themself.

@Sadu

I think after each Princess was found by the forces of darkness they'd decide to pass on the light as in canon to make sure it can't be found so easily again.

The only issue I see is the Villain plan for Kingdom Hearts 1. With them being aware of Royal Authority and what it is and does they'd know that just gathering the 7 Princesses wouldn't be enough to get them to Kingdom Hearts. Let's say having approval of every one with Authority is the final key to the Door to Darkness. They'd know they wouldn't be able to access it. So what would be the point if they weren't also kidnapping the Royals?

What about this? Instead of Royal Authority being granted to open Kingdom Hearts it's instead what grants someone, for example a Magus, the ability to control Kingdom Hearts. The Princesses are the key. The Royal Authority is the Master Control and it makes sense with it being Royal Authority. So Xehanort believes with his current body and abilities all he needs is the 7 Hearts of Light and he's all set and doesn't need the remaining 12.

Kingdom Hearts: Heroes of Hope

@Sadu

I don't think the Royal Authorities have to be the same amount as the Princesses of Light, especially since we already have exceptions for Kings with no connection to the Princesses of Light. I think the criteria being honorable leaders of light who have the ability to influence others works well.

I agree that the Royal Authority is the ability to/give permission to open Kingdom Hearts. That's the perfect set up for why Xehanort needs 13 Members in the Organization. Gives a legitimate reason for the number.

Just change the other half of the Royal Authority to the Seven Guardians of Light. Seven Guardians who protect the Princesses of Light. So Beast is Belle's Guardian. Fairy Godmother is Cinderella/Lucian's but Lucian may also be his own because of the keyblade. Everything else still works with the Villains representing Sin. The Guardians can even represent the 7 Virtues.

1. Prince Lucian
2. Alice
3. Anastasia
4. Princess Kida
5. Belle
6. Princess Jasmine
7. Terk (?)

The seventh is really up to y'all. I was just suggesting something to add to the plot of Tarzan's world. But I only care about Anastasia.
