KINGDOM HEARTLESS [invite only] [Sign ups!]

[Crystal Tears]

We were born different.

When you’re little, it only shows up occasionally. A fall that should’ve broken bones, cuts that heal within a day, you’re never sick, and your imaginary friend makes a real impact on your life.

Parents don’t question it, not if they’re smart. It was a miracle you lived through that crash, or that you could hold your breath that long… Nothing more.

It’s when you get older, is when it gets worse.

Children go through phases, when you’re little, you’re afraid of the dark. Every child sees monsters with wicked yellow eyes, and claws. They cry and the parents flick on the lights and you’re safe. After a certain amount of time, you grow out of it, the darkness is nothing to be afraid of, those monsters weren’t real and your well on your way to becoming an adult.

Expect for a few of us, those monsters don’t disappear.

The darkness stays forbidding, and those yellow eyes, you can feel them as you sleep, gazing at you with childish fascination. Only they’re not on you, they’re not interested in you.

They’re interested in your heart.

Each night they inch a little closer, and each night you find yourself burying your head deeper under the covers. An unexplained fear of nothing, it’s not real right? That tingling on your back, that twisting knot in your stomach is just nerves.

One night you’ll dare to look, to peek your head out from under those covers, to see what is making your body turn unnaturally cold. Human curiosity of the unknown, you just have to know what’s there, compelled to finally face what you’ve feared for so long.

“A train derailed today at 7:06 PM, it is believed that 52 people died in the crash when the conductor suffered a heart attack and lost control of the…”

That was the first of many ‘accidents’.

Unexplained heart attacks, and while some were affecting the elderly…

The doctors didn’t know what to do with the increasingly number of children suffering the same fate. What puzzled them further, was the evidence that the heart had bruising on it making it appear as if something had tried to tear the heart out.

Then came the first murder.

A young woman, a tourist to the country Japan, was found dead in her hotel room. Her heart missing from her chest…

Sara Bailey was the first victim of a serial killer, someone people deemed to have extreme psychological problems.

It is becoming apparent to children and a select group of people, that she was not the victim of a murderer, but the first casualty of a war.

* * *

Figments of imagination, a passing shadow in the corner of your eye, something unexplainable… A promise was made to them that predates our very existence, a promise that will guarantee the destruction of the human civilization, and a reign of darkness that will consume the very thing that gives Humanity its power.

The debt was 10 000.

Now it’s 9999.

KINGDOM HEARTLESS

That’s right, I’m bringing it back with a big revamp. Unfortunately for some, this is a invite only RPG, meaning if you didn’t receive one, you may not join unless you specifically request to be in it via PM to me.

This RPG is based in a undisclosed location in Japan, it’s most likely going to be a small city or town made up for the world of the RPG itself, you can go about mentioning the big landmarks / cities if you want, but it’s not based in any of them.

BEFORE YOU JOIN:

~Please realize that the minimum word count for this RPG (when it starts) is 500. If you don’t think you can pump out 500 words per post, don’t join, or PM me about the issue.

~You’re characters heart comes into play: is it pure or corrupt? Pure means that in the end you fight for everybody, Corrupt means that when it comes down to it, you’re intentions are selfish. There is no real advantage to being either, though I’d like an it to be relatively even.

~ Those chosen to wield a Keyblade are naturally stronger than an average human, this includes their ‘supernatural’ perception, this gives them the ability to see the monsters when it’s dark (night, in a basement, etc). This means that anyone chosen has a fear of the dark since the monsters have haunted them for years. Most probably sleep with a light on.

~ Heart Powers are mostly passive abilities that slightly affect the character (empathy, slight precognition, limited telepathy etc.) All characters only have one at the beginning, and they are relatively weak.

Name: Saito, Ryou
Gender: Male
Age: 19
Personality: Cold, distant and seemingly intent on keeping most individuals this way, Ryou comes off as a prick to most. He’ll engage in conversation though his sarcastic remarks make it evident he doesn’t like people (particularly whiney people) that much. Ryou doesn’t reveal much about himself ever, not even to his few close friends, making him somewhat of a mystery. His temper flares when dealing with people who ask for help but then don’t listen, or in general whine about something. Despite his demeanor, Ryou is a leader (much to his dismay), he has some sort of charisma that attracts people and makes them want to listen or side with him. The teenager doesn’t abuse it however, as most of the time he’d rather be left alone. He has a weak spot for children, not nearly being as cold to them as others his own age, which make some believe he’s a nice guy trying to keep people away.
Appearance: Relatively tall, Ryou has a lean build on him and a slight tan (if you were to see him without a shirt on, he may look a tad underweight). His hair is a dark-grey to black and cut shaggy with odd crimson coloured irises instead of the norm. He wears four silver rings on his left hand (pinky, ring, middle and thumb), and on his right three (pointer, middle, pinky). He wears a black muscle/tank top with a grey leather vest with slightly large hood overtop with white fur on the sleeves. Ryou’s pants are a mixture of dark blue with faded patches and stripes, along with torn knees (with another small tear on the chin of the left leg). He has a thick(ish) brown belt with a silver buckle, and is usually seen with a tan coloured satchel / bag (with art supplies inside). His lower lip is also pieces with a simple black hoop to the left, oh and he usually has his iPod with him, so the white ear-buds are usually in place blaring into his ears, with the white chord leading to his vest pocket.
History: Ryou’s family has been in a slump for nearly five years, and thus his attitude has suffered, he doesn’t talk much about it, and usually avoids people coming over due to the state and constant arguing going on at home between his parents. He vividly remembers being twelve and something grabbing him roughly in the night with yellow eyes, he screamed and his mother quickly flicked on the light and whatever it had been, was gone. Ryou has hated the dark and the yellow-eyed monsters since, though few (only his family know of the incident) believe it ever happened.
Heart: Corrupt
Heart Power: Empathy (extreme emotions influence him)
Keyblade Design: The Spartan: A Keyblade following the simple design of the basic Kingdom Key, only its teeth appear as broken black glass that edges are razor sharp (the keychain also ends is a attached sharp of glass). The rest is barely seen as black bubbles (AIDA) are usually flowing from it, especially when it’s moved. To those around it, it seems to drain happiness away and leaves the skin cold to the touch.
Relationships: acquaintance of Mika.
Other: Not that I can think of.
