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.

SIGN UP FORM

Name: Itsuki, Naomi
Gender: Female
Age: 16
Personality: Innocent and childlike. She'll strive to find something good in everyone, even if it's just their name. She's naive to a fault, and usually won't see the truth until it's too late. She doesn't like going anywhere alone so she can get clingy. She doesn't have a problem with taking orders as she's loyal to those she likes and has trouble making decisions. Kind and helpful, although it's hard for her to plan anything so she spends a little time worrying. Naomi is so afraid of the dark that not only will she not venture from the safety of the house at night, she'll sleep with the lights on and will keep her flashlight and extra batteries with her at all times. Not to mention a small first aid kit in her backpack. She's superstitious and keeps a good luck charm on her everywhere she goes, as well as a certain "ritual" she does before going out of her house. Despite this personality, she has the intellect of people her age. Just not the street sense.
Appearance: She's 5'5", with a normal build and straight brown hair going down her back, held back with a black headband. Her eyes are a light brown. She wears a light blue shirt and a white skirt that goes down to her knees, and white tennis shoes. A silver necklace is worn around her neck, with her lucky charm hanging from it: a piece of amber with a small butterfly encased in it. There are strange scars on her upper arms and back from her first Heartless attack. She carries a blue backpack where she carries her flashlight, extra batteries, first aid kit, flute, etc.
History: She has been avoiding the shadows since she was only five years old, although this was probably just due to normal fear of the dark. She wasn't aware of the Heartless until they attacked her when she was nine. They swarmed her, clawing her skin and pulling at her hair. She was so afraid that she cut her hair to avoid being pulled into the shadows by it. Only recently has it grown back to its original length.
Heart: Pure
Heart Power: She can track hearts of people she's met within a one-mile radius. She does this by listening to the "song" of it, a whistling tune that's different for each person.
Keyblade Design: Songbird's Wing: Although the hilt looks like that of Kingdom Key (with the exception of it being a white color), the blade looks like a light brown bird's wing, with two feathers being longer than the others to make it the shape of a key.
Relationships: none yet
Other: Has been playing the flute since she was five years old, thinking that it helps scare away the Heartless.

[Asilynne]

Name: Hotaru, Birgitte
Gender: Female
Age: 21
Personality: Her aura is peace, with an undercurrant of determination. Shes very protective of the people she cares about and would rather come to harm herself than to let them get hurt. Doesnt like to do violence to anything though she will if her friends are directly threatened, and she would get physically ill afterwards since it goes against her nature. These feelings dont apply to the heartless because to her they feel empty, it would only apply to a person, animal or plant of this world. Is a bit shy of new people, and only talks when she has something important to say, choosing most of the time to work things out in her own head. Not unfriendly though, just tends to do more observing than contributing.
Appearance: Shoulder length black hair with white tips, bright green eyes. Standing at about 5'4", shes rather slim and petite but her prescence and how she carries herself keeps anyone from thinking of her as tiny or fragile. Has a quiet dignity and eyes that look like they can see right through you. Has a serious face most of the time and her smiles are rare but bright. Likes to dress in white mostly, but also likes dark blue, gold and silver. Never wears black.
History: She grew up in a rather traditional type japanese home as the oldest of three children. Her early childhood was a good one, she had many friends in school and enjoyed playing outside, having "sword fights" with sticks with her younger brother and sister. However when she was 12 the happy world she thought she lived in began to fall apart, as her parents began to have shouting matches at each other and talk of divorce. One night during a particularly bad fight she ran into the woods surrounding her house and hid to be alone, and it was then that the heartless attacked her. Screaming and clawing at it she would have surely died had she not stumbled into a tree where female fireflies were resting and blinking their lights. Though the light they shed was faint it was enough to drive it away, and she quickly cupped one in her hands and ran all the way home. Is now obviously afraid of the dark and of being alone. Is currently going to college to become a doctor.
Heart: Pure
Heart Power: She can cause herself to glow, forming a small bubble around herself of a faint light, enough to chase away the darkness in her immediate area.
Keyblade Design: The Luminous: With a honey and gold coloured hilt, this Keyblade shines with the radiance all heartless fear most: pure light. Floating in a small glass sphere at the 'teeth' part of the key is a firefly that shines brighter than most others. It's light forms both the glimmering pillar from the hilt to the glass, and the sparkling teeth of the weapon. The keychain ends in a small glowing lantern. (designed by sie ;D THANK YOU)
Relationships: Open
Other: Has a firefly necklace with the light of the firefly constantly glowing faintly through a solar power battery inside. Also loves sushi <3 lol

[Green Lanturn]

Name: Yanagisawa, Mika
Gender: Female
Age: 24
Personality: Mika is very quiet. From childhood, she always had a way of internilizing her emotions, so that nobody ever truly knows how she feels. She might be all smiles and laughs, and inside really want to hurt someone, or maybe just feel hurt. Her power however, grants a view inside her because she literally emotes from within. Many dont like to be around her because of her emotions, so she is used to being alone, though she is never opposed to a new friend. She tries to treat everyone with respect and indifference, but she cant always. She spends her times conveying herself through pictures.
Appearance: Standing at 5'7, she has a head of reddish hair in a short sort of bob coming aong the side of her face. She has hazel eyes with an almost reddish tint to them, and small pursy lips, but her face is always blush. She is relatively meek, very slim. She typically can be seen wearing red, usually in a sleeveless blouse with black leaves and blossoms going down it in design. She wears black pants, with a bell-bottom sort of cuff, with red leaves and blossoms on the bottom near the cuff. He wears a silver chain with a red "subaki" or red camelia blossom on her neck, and has a red jade bracelet on her left arm. On her feet are feet are red "sandaru", a sort of sandle-like show.
History: Mika grew up in a normal family, having the normal life. She was pretty intelligent and widely recognized around her neighborhood as being a very social girl. When she was 8, she walked home late from school one evening after some late activites, and a streetlight went out, plunging her into darkness. But then little yellow dots started to appear, in pairs, and finally a hand clasped hers very roughly. She received a scratch to her back, and fell with a yell. She covered her head and cowered, and was saved when the streetlight suddenly popped back to life, and her attackers had vanished. Nobody had come to save her in her moment of need and despiration. Since then, she has never shared her emotions physically, but you could always sense how she truly felt. She currently lives as an artist, working on impressionist style paintings, of her own impressions.
Heart: Corrupt
Heart Power: Emotion: Her body naturally emits an aura of her emotions around her. If these get to be overly strong, they can even influence other's actions, however involuntary it may be.
Keyblade Design: The Painted Heart: A keyblade the almost resembled a giant upside-down paintbrush/caligraphy pen. It is red, and has heart-shaped painters palette teeth (three in all) at the top. The handle is the "brush" and is black. The chain has a small red paintbrush clipped on.
Relationships: Possibly an acquaintance of Ryou....why does she affect him so?
Other: None really, she just loves art, and her heart.....

[Weasel Overlord]

Name: Tsurayuki Masashi
Gender: Male
Age: 27
Personality: Masashi is rather outgoing and on the very loud side of loud. He likes listen to jokes and much of his speech is word-play or puns – he also has an extremely filthy mind, so if you hear him chuckling quietly to himself for no apparent reason, it's likely to be because he's found something to be dirty that no-one else in the world would agree with. He deals quite well with the fear of darkness, but alas he won't fail to look out for himself when it comes to saving his skin. Masashi will probably be the first person to leave a scene if it gets too much for him, although this isn't to say that he's a coward – just exceptionally good at assessing a situation with regards to his own personal gain and whether he'll be injured in some way. He's a sucker for a bet and certainly not above cheating to win, although he won't mention this of course.
Despite his loudness (and lewdness) you'll probably have a hard time actually getting to know Masashi, simply because of his reluctance to give away any personal information of real importance. His history with the darkness has left its marks on his mind, and though he makes friends easily, it'll take a long time (if ever) for him to fully open up to them. He tends to hide his true feelings under his brash nature.
Words are Masashi's power, really, which is pretty much the reason he became a journalist. Expect him to talk his way out of many situations – fast-talking and bullshitting is rather a skill.
Appearance: Masashi stands at around 5'5”, which is a bit of a sore spot for him. His hair is black, and curly, and reaches to the nape of his neck. It's not quite long enough to tie back, and his fringe (bangs, whatever you wanna call it) doesn't quite reach his eyebrows. He wears jeans (flared at the ankle), and a series of shirts in plain old boring colours – for the purpose of this RPG he's wearing a dusky blue coloured one at the moment, short sleeved and with the top two buttons left undone. He disdains ties, even though he tries to look sort of professional for his job. His shoes are plain and smart brown leather, quite well-worn, and extremely comfortable. When he's not working, he likes to wear a cream, floppy-brimmed hat which shields his eyes from the sun, his head from the rain and his face from passers-by if he wants to sleep on the bus.
Slung diagonal across his torso is a manbag messenger bag, small and slim, in grey. In this, he keeps a collection of pens (he's quite old-fashioned, and will therefore only write with fountain pens), ink in various colours (emerald green, sky blue, navy, black, red and purple) and no less than three flip notebooks at any one time.
History: Masashi grew up in a normal suburb with a normal nuclear family, his father was a salaryman and his mother a housewife and himself an only child. He knew nothing out of the ordinary until one day, when he was about 18, he was caught in the middle of a town-wide power-cut. He was, at that moment in time, staying late (around 6pm) in the computer labs at his college (or whatever the Japanese equivalent is), trying to get three articles finished. Being sat in the middle of an otherwise-empty computer lab while every electrical item simultaneously cuts out would be freaky enough on its own, but coupled with the appearance of Heartless, poor Masashi was never the same. One of the Heartless seemed to come right out of the computer screen, its eyes glowing with a sickening yellow and its claws reaching out for his heart. Masashi ran for his life, and wouldn't be alive today if it wasn't for the sudden return of the power as he dashed through the college corridors.
To this day, he's uncomfortable using computers, which is the foremost reason he uses his notebooks to write articles, and when it comes to typing them up, he took as many typing tests as possible to increase his words per minute, until he was easily able to complete one normal-sized article, fully typed and edited and proof-read in under 15 minutes.
Heart: Corrupt
Heart Power: Truthful Motives: People are more likely to think that Masashi is telling the truth, no matter whether he's lying or not. I guess he just has an honest face. XD
Keyblade Design: Falsehood's Quill: The keyblade pretty much resembles an elaborate quill-pen, with one major difference – the quill is made of bone. The blade (I guess you could call it that) is the actual nib of the pen, and is much shorter than you'd expect a blade to be (around 15 inches in length). It's tip is wickedly pointed, and down the inkline in the centre runs a red ink-like substance, rather resembling blood. The “handle” of the keyblade is, as previously stated, made entirely of bleached bone – it's carved in the shape of a curved feather, with a place for Masashi's hand hollowed out about a third of the way from its tip, which tapers off about as wickedly as the nib, resulting in a sort of double-edged weapon.
The key teeth-parts of the quill are tiny enough to almost be invisible unless you look really closely. There are two of them at the base of the nib (just before it joins the handle part) and they resemble tiny nibs (although they're more like darts, I suppose), one slightly longer than the other, which is also fatter than the longer one. These two nibs leak ink of different colours to the main one, and it changes every time the keyblade is used – there is a pattern to the colours, but no-one knows what it is yet.
Relationships: Will befriend anyone and everyone, but don't expect this to change his nature.
Other: THE SHOCKS I'm playing a guy. XD I may actually draw Falsehood's Quill, cos it's totally sexy in my mind.

[Crystal Tears]

Everyone is accepted :3 They all look good so far. ^_^

[Roy Karrde]

Name: Saotome Akira

Gender: Male

Age: 14

Personality: Akira tends to have a very easy going personality when he is having fun, having become infamous with taking a test he hated one time and folding it into a paper airplane. His lack of fear of authority figures has created a long track record in his past history, with his ability to be able to graduate a grade, either by the teacher fearing having him again, or he able to pull off a last minute test to send him above the passing line.

As long as he sees himself as the Alpha Male around, he can be a nice guy. He cannot how ever stand taking orders, and especially cannot stand not being the center of attention. Although for many this narcissism would drive most people off, it has caused him to have quite a few friends that hang around him, always willing to feed his ego. That being said, Akira can become extremely competitive when some one challenges him, or he is not the lead of a group, to the point that if it isn’t his way, a verbal and some times physical fight can break out.

He does tend to have a short temper as well, partially because of his own narcissism, if there is something he doesn’t like, he will speak his mind, especially if it is to a authority figure. He expects it to be changed, and changed that second, this as well has led him to get into verbal and physical fights.

Appearance: He has some what long dark red hair, that seems to be more black than red, the hair reaches the lower part of his neck, and is tied back into a pony tail. He was born with light blue eyes, but he wears hazel contacts to cover that up. His face remains youthful with out a blemish or pimple on it yet. He is some what tall measuring in around 5’ 6” and has always been taller than other boys his age, having had a early growth spurt. He has a some what lanky build, not specifically athletic, but he looks and acts threatening enough that he really doesn’t need it.

He wears his soccer uniform as a shirt, it can be found here his pants are the same color of black, with a silver stripe like the one found on the uniform going from the lower part of his hip to his thigh, a zipper pouch found below each stripe.

History: With his mother dying during childbirth, he was raised by his father alone, he lived a life filled with hardship and abuse, his father pushing him into sports when he was only three. He was taught to be the best, to be the alpha male, and not to take second. His father believed he had to make his son a true man, and it led him to accept that a violent and competitive attitude was okay, from a very young age. His father would reward him for fighting in school, and punish him if he was ever picked on. He never spoke of his fear of monsters to his father, knowing that his father would see it as a sign of weakness. When he was sleeping over at a friend’s house at the age of 9, the threat of the monsters combined with an unfamiliar setting finally broke him, causing him to confide in his friends parents. When the parents told his father he was beat senseless for the embarrassment, a scar remains on his back to this day from it, since then he has remained silent on the monsters.

Heart: Corrupt

Heart Power: Intimidation: He can stare down larger and older people by matching their gaze.

Keyblade Design:The Hidden Soul: The handle is encased between two heads a round hole cut out in the middle where the heads are melded together, on the left is a black devil head, his eyes cast down toward the handle in anger, on the right, a silver angelic head, it’s eyes cast up in hope. The duality continues up the keyblade, the left side being a stark black, with dark blue spikes running the length of the blade from the head to the key, the right side being a beautiful silver, with out a silver blemish on it. At the moment, the actual key rests on the black side, rounded like a scythe with a point on the end, the key never actually making contact with the blade.

Relationships: No one yet

Other: He is not what he seems.

[ChobiChibi]

Name: Kurosawa, Yuki

Gender: Female

Age: 17

Personality: Yuki is a rather popular girl, with the majority of the student body of her school getting along well with her and is quite the social bumblebee. However, she is possibly one of the biggest nerds you’ve ever met, taking particular interest in science, working to study biochemistry at university. She works extremely hard in order to keep a good balance between her social and school life, and does so extremely well. She’s confident, but quietly so, tending not to be the centre of attention. She is rarely a leader, just going along with the masses, and will usually loose an argument. Since the incident with her brother, she’s distanced herself from him, barely speaking to him some days. She now hates to be alone, making sure that she is always around other people, especially as it gets darker. She has two pet budgies to keep her company at night, since she doesn’t sleep well anymore, the chirping comforts her.

Appearance: Yuki is just about 5’6’’, a couple of inches above the average height for her age. Her hair is very dark brown, you could almost call it black if it weren’t for the few noticeable lighter brown highlights. Her fringe nearly covers her right eye, whilst the rest falls to her waist, curling towards the ends. Her eyes are also dark brown. Mostly, she is in her high school uniform, which consists of a short, pleated, blue checked skirt, white knee high socks, a short sleeved white shirt with a tie that matches the pattern on her skirt and either a light blue v necked jumper or a navy blue blazer for slightly cooler days (student’s choice at which they prefer). Otherwise, Yuki will wear clothing that compliments her figure: short skirts to show off her long legs (long for Japanese standards, anyway XD), well fitting tops, black ballet shoes and darker coloured knee high socks. If she decides a skirt is not an option, it will be replaced by skinny jeans (generally quite girly).

History: From a young age, Yuki had always had a natural ability to sense the Heartless. She was unaware of it being specifically for Heartless, though, and always just assumed it was just a gut feeling of dread, worry or doubt, so avoided going through these areas, or going outside when it’s too dark. She could see the pairs of eyes staring at her, but it was only just under a year ago when she got into trouble. She was walking home with her older brother and was going to be late for their curfew. It was beginning to get dark when the fastest route home gave her that sinking feeling inside. She fought with her brother, protesting against that route and to take another, but lost and continued. They cut through a dark alleyway, coming under attack from the Heartless. Her brother, able to see them too, managed to escape and ran, leaving his little sister alone to struggle. Hearing the commotion, the owner of the house backing onto the alleyway shone a torch onto her, unknowingly saving her life.

Heart: Pure

Heart Power: The ability to sense Heartless, whether it’s the exact number within a mile’s radius, or the general direction that they’re in depends on how hard she’s concentrating.

Keyblade Design: The shaft is simply white in colour, most likely a little longer than most of the other blades. The blade itself is shaped like a wing, with longer feathers at the tip, getting shorter until it stops about half way down the shaft. It looks soft to the touch, but the feathers are ridged and sharp. The hilt has a single feather to guard the hand. The feathers are white also, but are light grey where it touches the shaft.

Relationships: Her brother (who is open for someone to play if they want, otherwise no biggie), anyone that feels like going to her school.

Other: Um...

[Crystal Tears]

Becki and Roy, you're both accepted. ^_^ Nice characters. There about about 2 - 3 more people who might be joining or have sign ups to finish, so I'll wait for a bit longer before starting this up.

[Blademaster]

I'm bringing sexy asshole back.



Name: Enigma, J. D. (goes by his last name)
Gender: Male
Age: 21
Personality: Enigma's personality can be summed up in five words:
Rude (He has no manner of manners, and he doesn't desire to get any anytime soon.)
Crude (Enigma curses - a lot. If you can't stand the curses, get out of his way.)
Lewd (Pretty girls, stay away from this guy if cheap pick-up lines and stalking bother you.)
Lazy (Don't expect him to do anything you ask anytime you ask.)
Violent (Unless you enjoy getting your nose broken, don't even look at him cock-eyed.)
Appearance: Enigma is not Japanese, but rather a Caucasian male of about 6' and 200 pounds. His eyes are ocean-blue, hidden behind a pair of transparent orange shades, and his hair is a slick black color, spiked all around almost like an anime character. He wears black boots, lightly torn blue jeans, and a red T-shirt with blue sleeves. On his hands are black gloves, and around his waist is a chain with a hooked spike attached to one end.
History: Enigma grew up in a poor town in the eastern U.S., doing favors for his less-than-a-little-shady dad for money, which was almost immediately stolen from him 85% of the time. So, naturally, Enigma learned how to defend himself and his stuff at a young age. His favorite personal triumph was one when he as an eight year-old felled a bully twice his age and size by punching him in the groin. Enigma has taken this technique to heart and used it ever since.
Naturally, Enigma grew into a rough, wise-ass teenager, attending a public high school that had armed security and barred windows. He hit puberty HARD and has hit on every girl in the school at least twice. Usually, they hit back. Regardless, the teen never seemed to learn, and despite his poor grades, he somehow managed to get into community college. He's still only a sophomore despite his age, due to having been left back once in grade school and failing to pass his second-year college courses. One of his current year course requirements is studying abroad, which is why he's in Japan. He takes much joy in watching the locals try and fail to pronounce his unusual name.
Enigma's encounter with the darkness occurred when he was 17. When sleeping one night, he was assaulted in his dreams by a yellow-eyed monster that attacked him and clawed his chest so badly that the pain woke him up shouting. He quickly grabbed his bedside flashlight and saw that he had indeed been cut in real life; nobody knows whether to believe him or not about what happened that night - that night he still has three scars across his chest from.
Heart: Corrupt
Heart Power: Adrenaline: Pain and fear give Enigma strength. If he's hurt, his mind won't register it as much afterward. He'll just continue to attack, more and more, like the Pokemon attack Rage.
Keyblade Design: The Shark.
Relationships: Anyone without a Y chromosome in sight.
Other: Enigma's first initials stand for "John Doe," since I've never given him a canonical first name and don't plan on doing so anytime soon.

[Kurosakura]

Name: Yamaguchi Katsumi
Gender: Female
Age: 17
Personality: Katsumi is a quiet, outspoken girl who believes that actions speak louder than words. However, because she rarely shows emotions and rarely speaks, she's very hard to read and people tend to stay away from her, because she's seemingly gloomy. Her brilliance leads her to think that life is boring and there is truly no real happy ending because it's too boring. At a glance, she seems arrogant and haughty, but she loves people and company, and likes helping people out, even though it's seen as a weakness by her father. She feels like she's suffocating at home, because people expect so much from her and she can't express herself as freely as she wants. She was expected to act like an adult from an early age, so she acts somewhat childishly outside of home, to make up for her inability to be herself.
Appearance: [link][Uniform] She has long, lustrous brown hair that seems more black than brown with auburn red highlights (not the perfect-looking blocky kind, these are more natural-looking) and honey brown eyes. Her hair goes down to the small of her back and her fringe is a little past her eyes and most of it is swept to the left, usually pinned back with bobby pins. She stands at 5'5 with a slim, petite build, flawless skin, and fragile appearance as expected of an ojou-sama, however, she's rather strong and athletic, so you really can't judge a book by its cover. At home she wears a traditional black kimono with a red and gold dragon patterned on it, tabi, and clogs and wears her hair in a low ponytail tied with ribbon towards the middle of the ponytail. However, out of school and home she normally wears a black jean jacket with a red top, usually low cut with some sort or ribbon or corset, black jeans that flare out slightly toward the bottom with red ribbon lacing down the sides, her black high-heeled lace-up boots, and a black lace choker with a stylized cross on it.
History: Katsumi grew up as the pampered only child of Yamaguchi Tsubasa, the oyabun of the Yamaguchi-gumi, a yakuza group, and Shinobu Suzume, his wife. She excelled in both studies and sports, and took up kendo, karate, and tae kwon do, since the only child of the head of the yakuza wasn't allowed to be weak. Since she was also considered a high-class lady, she learned calligraphy, chado (tea ceremony), Noh Mai (a type of traditional Japanese dance), ikebana (flower arranging), how to play the koto, and singing. Both of her parents are extremely strict and expect much from her, because she's so talented, and many believe that she would help their family gain glory, influence, and territory. Because of the stifling atmosphere and the intolerance of weakness, she wasn't allowed to have anything to do with childish or cute things.
One day, when she was 10 years old, Katsumi began to feel the pressure of being born as the daughter of the head of a yakuza group and ran from her ikebana teacher blindly into the woods surrounding home. She finally stopped running when the sun set and realized she was lost. When she tried finding her way back, she began to see sets of yellow eyes glaring at her from within the shadows of the trees. These monsters jumped at her and clawed at her, trying to reach her heart, but were beaten back somehow with a large stick Katsumi used in place of a shinai. However, she was soon overpowered and miraculously saved by a maid carrying an old fashioned lantern. Since then, she's never left home without her shinai, which encased a real katana and slept with a candle lit in her room.
Heart: Pure
Heart Power: Limited Precognition - She can see two seconds into the future and see the outcome of an attack or dodge and enemy attack, however, this is a double-edged sword and she doesn't use it often.
Keyblade Design: Crimson Night: The handle and "blade" are both bright red with the shaft being pure black. The shaft and "blade" are bound loosely with red ribbon and doesn't seem to have a beginning or end to it. The top of the "key" resembles a moon and the bottom teeth seem to look like fangs. (replace the blank spots with red in the picture, I'm too lazy to actually color anything)
Relationships: Saotome Akira's older cousin
Other: She loves cute, fluffy things and sweets, especially anything strawberry flavored.

[Kuro Espeon]

Guh, sorry this took so long. My character is of a slightly different format than the others, but I've already had her approved by CT, so no worries! ^_^

Name: Halvacor, Sanya (last name - first name)
Gender: Female
Age: 18
Personality: Very conflicted and uncertain, Sanya isn’t quite sure about how to act around others. Although she is friendly and outgoing, due to her particular circumstances she is often fearful about letting herself get to close to anyone. However, lurking beneath an exterior that longs for companionship is a darker side that frequently tries to consume her and she has to fight to keep it under control. She generally puts on a brave face in front of others, embarrassed to show any sign of weakness.
Appearance: Standing about 5’8, a bit on the tall side for a girl, Sanya is quite obviously not Japanese. Her skin is a cool ivory and she has bright blue eyes that gleam like ice. Her light skin and eyes stand out against her pitch black hair which reaches to just below her ears and flips slightly out at the tips. The bangs that hang to either side of her face are a cool silvery blue. Generally wears a black crop-top with two stripes of blue crossing in the front, and loose-fitting black pants that reach just past her knees with a pattern of blue flames rising up the edges. She also wears black, knee-high lace-up boots, and dark leather arm bracers that cover her arms up to the elbow.
History: Born on a world completely separate from our own, Sanya was a child of far from normal circumstances. Her world was often plagued by Heartless, and a way to drive them away was needed. Among her people, it was believed that into each generation a person of the Purest Heart, The Chosen, would be born, and that individual was to be sacrificed in order to drive away the Heartless and cleanse the corruption and sins of the world. Once the Heartless began to return, the ritual was repeated. Her father, a High Priest, was a firm believer of the practice. However, on the night of Sanya’s 6th birthday, she was attacked by Heartless in the darkness of the temple courtyard. Gripped by fear of the yellow-eyed creatures, she ran for help. However, when her encounter with the Heartless was revealed, the High Priests of the Council determined that the attraction of the Heartless to her heart meant that Sanya was The Chosen.
Confronted with the fact that his own daughter would be sacrificed, Sanya’s father turns his back on the Council and tries to find a way to protect his daughter by researching into the dark arts (never a good idea, really...) In order to protect her heart from being taken, her father uses a spell to split her heart into two pieces, one remaining within her, and the other manifested into a half-heart talisman that he keeps with him at all times. Her heart would be safe as long as the talisman remained in tact. However, as his interest in the dark arts grew, her father became more and more driven into the shadows and he began to lose his sanity. As for Sanya, the missing piece of her heart left a hole within her, a hole that is constantly plagued by a darkness that tries to consume her but can never fully take her. She has come to our world for a reason… but no one quite knows why. ^_~
Heart: Pure/Corrupt (approved by CT)
Heart Power: Shadow Walking – due to her only having half a heart, she can traverse the shadows and cross the borders between worlds easier than most. However, the more she does it, the riskier it gets, as she has to let a small amount of darkness in to do it. She also has a limited ability to bend and control shadows.
Keyblade Design: Spirit’s Divide: Made of a dark, but gleaming metal, the Keyblade’s shaft is fairly long, providing it with great reach. Framing the hilt are two angelic wings, one black and one white. At the other end, the blade of the key is in the shape of a broken heart (top half black, bottom half white), with the tips pointed out and jagged ridges between them. The keychain hanging from the hilt is a smaller version of the blade, a heart with a crack down the middle. (Sorry, I suck at designing weapons…> _<)
Relationships: None yet (She’s from another world, she has an excuse!)
Other: Muffin? o_o

[Crystal Tears]

:3 Accepted Kuro, good job. This will be starting eventually shortly (today, tomorrow, or monday...).

[Mystic_clown]

Name: Salvador Kurtis
Gender: Male
Age: 25
Personality: Kurtis considers himself a man of science, and will apply a scientific view to almost everything. He’s a highly analytical person, always thinking things through. Oddly enough, he does not fear the heartless, but rather regards them with curiosity. However, he’s developed an off habit of ever sleeping when it’s dark, knowing that’s when they come out. If there’s a source of light, he’ll sleep like a log though. It should be known he’s a little cowardly, but ultimately a good person. He has a keen taste for apricots, and knows a bunch of recipes involving them.
Appearance: Kurtis bears some resemblance of Vexen of Organizaion XIII, quite tall with a thin face and long, dirty blonde hair. However, that’s where the similarities end. He has hazel eyes behind a pair of squared glasses, and is noted to have bags under his eyes from staying up so often. As for clothing, he normally wears a pale aqua shirt, brown pants and brown shoes, with a brown coat over it all. Strangely enough, he always seems to be wearing gloves, whether the rubber gloves in a laboratory, or white cotton gloves every other time. Why he wears them is unsure.
History: Kurtis seems to be like your average scientist, having a liking for science growing up, and was a bit of a nerd at school. Like anyone else who could see the heartless, he feared them and the dark at a young age. However, as he grew, his fear for the heartless turned into curiosity. What were these creatures? Where did they come from? Of course, he knew sleeping in the dark was a bad idea, so he never slept unless a light was on. At the age of 19, he went on a student exchange program to Japan, and then became a Japanese citizen not long after. Despite his time here, his Japanese is still a little rusty, but he’s trying.
Heart: Pure
Heart Power: Analytical Mind - Kurtis can pinpoint an enemy’s weakpoint, and anything else that might harm them.
Keyblade Design: Art of Science – This keyblade almost resembles a machine of sorts. The handle it rigid, like girder steel, with the grip almost resembling a lever. The shaft contains within it a thick glass container filled with a bubbling green liquid. It was three large teeth on the end, with a small charge of energy going through them.
Relationships: None at the moment
Other: Did I mention he likes apricots?

[Crystal Tears]

You're accepted MC. Welcome back to KHless.

[Samchu]

Name: Kurushimi, Kutsuu
Gender: Male
Age: 18
Personality: Generally a nice guy although he tends to venture on the quiet side and when he does talk with people the conversation will rarely focus on him; he isn't one for sharing his personal life with people. He tries to convince himself that he should never get emotionally close to anyone but it happens and when he realises it he tends to turn on people in a bid to push them away. He has a reputation for being sought after by a lot of the girls at his school but he never takes any interest in their advances and is always nice about turning them down (he’s become quite an expert at it); spawning rumours that there must be something more between him and Yuki than just friendship. He doesn’t see her as anything other than a friend but is very protective of her, more so than with any of his other friends. He has a pleasant aura about him that seems to attract people but there are days when he sinks into an empty depression that even Yuki struggles to get him out of. He doesn’t understand the reason for them and doesn’t know how to cure them either.
Appearance: Kutsuu is about six feet tall with a build that leans on the side of muscular (he’s quite athletic despite the fact that he doesn’t compete in any school teams). He has dark brown eyes and hair that is a few shades lighter. His hair is kept short but he grows a small ponytail at the back and keeps it thick at the top so he can experiment with its look. His face is broad and he has a distinctly strong chin, features that cause many of the girls at his school to consider him fairly attractive. He wears the typical school uniform (trousers, shoes, shirt, tie) at school but given the option prefers the comfort of jeans and a t-shirt.
History: Kutsuu’s history begins at the age of 4 when he awoke from a year-long coma with complete amnesia. His parents took him home and the first night they turned off his bedroom light and before he could sleep he saw a sea of yellow eyes, staring at him. He didn’t know why but the sight terrified him and he has slept with the light on ever since. He doesn’t know why he’s afraid of them but he’s learned to cope with the sight of them and sometimes when they stare, he stares back. Aside from that, Kutsuu’s had a quiet and uneventful life and has coped with being kept back a year (he skipped a year whilst in his coma) pretty well.
Heart: Mostly pure
Heart Power: (still havent decided...will include/reveal/discover over the course of the rpg)
Keyblade Design: The Edge of Dreams ~ The blade’s handle is pale silver and is surrounded by a silver oval; the top of which forms the blade’s hilt. A thin black line circles the outer edge of the oval as though trying to seep out from a crack. The blade’s shaft is a tightly weaved silver. The actual blade resembles a silver thorn bush that seems to have escaped from the cocoon-like shaft and is spreading outwards. At the very bottom of the keyblade hangs a small glass charm which appears so hold a swirling black shadow.
Relationships: Yuki’s best friend
Other: There are other things…but I’m not telling what they are.

[Bear]

So like, did you invite all of RPG but me? Sadface

[Crystal Tears]

I did invite you, I swore I told Kuro to pass on the message but that might be my memory being faulty again. You're welcome to join Bear

[Kuro Espeon]

Hey don't go blaming ME. You never told me to pass any such message!

[Crystal Tears]

I can blame anyone I damn well want to!! XDDD jk jk. I also said my memory could've been faulty. Meaning I intended to ask you to, but then forgot.

Oops :3

[Bear]

Lol I was just giving you a hard time. Kuro never told me any such message, but it's just as well because I'm not sure I could devote the proper time to it. I'll just read along and enjoy it .

PS next time don't count on Kuro to remember anything, she's like an old lady! Just PM me yourself .

[Crystal Tears]

Oh wow I'm blind, sorry Samchu.

Your heart has to be Pure OR Corrupt, there is no in-between unless privately requested and accepted.

Please try to come up with a Heart Power and get it approved by me because making it evident in the RPG.

Accepted Though

Om nom ramen nom nom...

Name: Yasashisa, Karen
Gender: Female
Age: 18
Personality: Quiet and shy, Karen typically stays out of anything social involving more than 3 people, unless she gets dragged into it (usually by Yuki's insisting she go). She's usually quite bookish and focuses on her schoolwork, but her cute appearance usually attracts the attention of the boys in her class; she of course has no idea how to properly talk to boys and ends up not getting into any relationships lasting longer than a single date (which she always bombs). For those that she manages to befriend, she is a great person to know and a true friend, who'll be there no matter what and try to fix whatever goes wrong.
Appearance: Karen is 5'7", tall and skinny (for an Asian) thanks to her mother being of American origin and 5'10". Yet you wouldn't be able to tell unless you knew, as she doesn't look even remotely American. Her hair is pure black, reaching past her shoulder blades with a slight wave to it; she doesn't have bangs, and almost always has hair decorations (barrettes, hair clips, scrunchies, etc.) which hold her hair out of place. Her eyes are a bright green color like her mother's.
For clothes she's the epitome of her name: cute. She usually wears skirts that just graze her knee, typically flowing or pleated and of bright or pastel colors, purples being her favorite. She wears a babydoll tee to match, usually with some kind of print on it, along with ankle socks that match under soft white sneakers; she learned off of Yuki that exposed long legs really do look cute. If she needs to be active, she'll either wear skintight shorts under her skirt, or slim jean capri pants rolled up to her knees.
History: She grew up with an average life, even though her mother was American. Of course, this meant she grew up learning both English and Japanese, and so is fluent in both. She always did well in school, and always did the best she could in everything she did.
However, the only thing she had never been able to do was sleep without a night-light, because she always saw little yellow eyes staring at her. When she was 13, she got laughed at by a couple kids because she still used it and, determined to face her fears, she decided that night to go without. Of course now the monsters weren't just little yellow eyes, they were little yellow eyes on small dark bodies that started to attack her. Fortunately for her, her parents were still awake and heard her screaming, although they didn't believe that the monsters were real since they all disappeared when the light turned on. The next morning, though, Karen found a scratch on her chest in a place she had felt the monsters clawing at, and so she knew they were more than just a dream and has slept with a night-light since. (The scratch has healed by now, but the memory still remains.)
Heart: Pure
Heart Power: Soothing Compassion - She can cause anyone to stop fighting for any reason at all, although the more resistant they are to stopping, the harder it is; she can also keep heartless from attacking for a short time, but only if she focuses and keeps her eyes on them.
Keyblade Design: Gentle Touch - Her keyblade doesn't look dangerous at all. The handle and shaft of the key are a pale purple color, soft and cool to the touch, and rounded everywhere with no sharp edges. The handle has a plain white circle around it for a guard. Rather than a blade, coming off of the shaft is a flattened white and fluffy cloud, also soft to the touch. The key chain is actually a braided chain of purple strands of what looks like very thick yarn, ending with a large poof of cloud. Of course, when she's actually in battle it's not quite so soft and fluffy to the touch anymore. (I will attempt to draw this later...)
Relationships: Friends with Yuki, having been in the same classes and schools since middle school. (If this is okay, Chobi.)
Other: She just turned 18 the past week and is still excited about it.

[Crystal Tears]
