[Crystal Tears]

Kingdom Heartless
II

It was eons ago, when they came.

Devils of the dark, with wicked yellow eyes and shifting black bodies.

They were defeated on the cusp of their victory. Light overcame darkness when the sun’s rays bore down onto the earth.

Yet the ancient promise still stands.

Billions of the purest hearts in exchange for the opening of the lost door.

All that remained was 10000.

November 19th, 2011, Township of Twilight.

“Thomas Borreau was found dead in his apartment earlier this evening; the long-time teacher of the Twilight Town Secondary School was respected and loved by many.”

The news flicked to one of the man’s long-time friends.

“He didn’t have a bad bone in his body…” She whimpered, holding back tears. “I… I’m sorry, I can’t…”

Back to the reporter, who had a neutral expression. “Police suspect that the attack took place during the power outage to his residence and that the assailant used the temporary darkness, to his or her advantage-“

Darkness fell on Traverse City three years ago, light banished us, but the door was not found. Now we follow the beating hearts to Twilight Town, California.

Half way to success… the promise will be kept, and the debt will be paid.

Please note, if you participated in the last Kingdom Heartless, you may not play your character from Traverse City, Japan. New heroes, new place. You can assume from the plot that the heroes in Traverse City succeeded in halting the heartless onslaught. It’s been three years, and now Twilight Town is coming under siege. Characters from the original may appear later in the RPG in which their original creators will have a chance to RP them again, but for now, new characters only.

Name: Phoenix Williams

Age: 19

Gender: Female

Personality: Phoenix is honest, almost brutally so. She’s blunt most of the time, not sugar-coating a lot and tends to be a little more pessimistic. Independent, quick-witted and stubborn, Phoenix doesn’t talk about what’s bothering her, she’d rather let it drift away to the back of her mind. Her temper is short concerning whiners and lazy people, but otherwise it’s easy to annoy Phoenix, but actually rather hard to make her angry. Phoenix is creative, and tends to think outside the box, though she has trouble focusing on things that don’t interest her (like school). She’s usually upbeat, out-going, and a quick-talker. Her bad habits include talking to herself where she answers her own questions, laziness (projects never get done until the last day usually), and addiction to technology (she can’t stand to be separated from her phone…).

Appearance: Phoenix is a brightly coloured, to say the least. She has long red hair whose bangs are cut to frame her face, and gorgeous cerulean eyes. Her skin is a pretty, unblemished pale and she’s usually wearing some sort of bold coloured tank top/baby-tee (usually purple, green, black, or hot pink, all of which usually have some sort of saying on them) and dark skinny jeans. She wears a fingerless black glove on her right hand, and a silver star charm bracelet on the same arm. Her left arm is adorned with simple bracelets, and her left hand usually has two rings on it. Her shoes are usually primarily white or black, with bright colours accenting them, and are skater-style. Phoenix is lithe and agile, so she can keep running.

Occupation: Art Student o:

History: Phoenix has a tendency to leave home at random intervals due to the abusive personalities of her mother and father. She hates it, and thus doesn’t discuss it with anyone. Phoenix will avoid having people over due to the environment of her home, and her mother’s attitude towards visitors.
Due to her lifestyle, Phoenix is noted for her abilities with free-running or parkour. She’s very; very hard to catch when someone is chasing her.

Keyblade: The Scrambling Skip – A rather simple keyblade, the Scrambling Skip is mostly black, with white and gold accents. The hilt of it has a very industrial, geometric design to protect Phoenix’s hand, the body of the weapon is somewhat dented and looks like someone welded the white and black together pouring. The keys are sharp, and crisp and gold, though the edges look a little worn.

[b]Other:[/v] Phoenix was giving a fancy, lime green Mazda 3 sedan from her Aunt (she’s substantially rich). Otherwise she’d never be able to afford it with the modest amount of money she makes doing commissions. She’s skilled in both art and dance, but doesn’t have much talent for music (save for piano, she knows that, and can occasionally play something that resembles song). She also has a real talent for video games.

Oh come on! I don't think the last Kingdom Heartless even got past the first page!

Name: Nia Hawthorne
Age: 21
Gender: Female
Personality: Softspoken but not silent, Nia is a blabbermouth. She'll start off nicely but will sometimes go off on wild tangents, even putting in random creepy statements that come to mind. Gets nervous when she's out in public, but feels right at home in libraries and bookstores. Her books must be in order, whether it be on the shelf or in the stacks that she makes. It may be messy but it makes sense to her. Cute things and people with interesting hair will get her out of her shell. She'll happily try to help others with information, even going off to research if she doesn't already know it. Anything that scares her is at risk of getting whacked by the closest hard thing (most likely a book).
Appearance: A short 5'3", mostly legs and arms. She wears a white long-sleeved, buttoned blouse with a flowery embroidered pattern. Her pants are black slacks that drape over her black, silver-buckled dress shoes. It goes with the white headband that she wears in her shoulder-length black hair. Her eyes are two different shades of brown; one is amber while the other is more of a chocolate. She hides a tattoo on her upper left arm that she got on a whim; a crawling black ivy vine that stops at the elbow. She also wears glasses, black ones with square frames.
Occupation: Bookseller at a privately-owned bookstore. Also volunteers at the university's library on the weekends.
History: Pretty normal life. Father's a professor of mythology at the university and mother is a fashion designer. She went to a private school from kindegarten to twelve grade. Although her parents wanted her to go to college immediately after graduation, Nia decided to take things slow for a few years and got her own apartment.
Keyblade: Black Horizon: Black on the top, white at the bottom, split lengthwise. The blade looks almost like a rapier with a key's teeth. The guard curves around the hilt in semicircular shape. The hilt is curved for Nia's small hands. A comedy-and-tragedy mask duo keychain hangs from the keyblade. Light and built for fast attacks, Nia's upper body strength adds to the power of its swimgs.
Other: Spending all day on her feet and hauling books has made her limbs strong but she's more about endurance than speed. She's comfortable with great heights.

EDIT: DONE!

[Samchu]

Name: Anthony Leighton

Age: 21

Gender: Male

Personality: Although being raised in a lifestyle that demanded hardwork and honesty, Anthony reinvented himself when he moved to America. He still works hard and he is still honest but he's also cocky and arrongant at times. He considers himself to be experiencing some of the best years of his life and embraces them fully. He can come off as a little obnoxious on occassion (usually after he's drunk) but he's really easy going and people tend to get along with him really well. He's a team player, not really a leader but he can step up and take charge if he needs to. He loves to be challenged, especially physically, and never backs away from a fight. He is also known for being something of a flirt but has never in his life commited to an actual relationship. The reasoning behind this is that he is somewhat ashamed of his sexuality. Although attracted to girls he also finds himself attracted to some guys and is afraid of someone finding this out. He goes out of his way to suppress his 'other' attractions and is internally torn by the drilled in guilt that it is 'wrong' and the curiosity of never actually trying it.

Appearance: This but his hair is dyed blonde. He also likes to wear baggy clothes, mostly jeans and t-shirts. He is very westernised in his appearance (see history). Stands at an even six feet in height.

Occupation: Engineering student and part-time maintenance man.

History: Anthony was born in California, America, but spent less than a year in the country. His father was businessman who, on a month-long trip to Tokyo, had had an affair with one of the maids in the hotel. As a result of this news, Anthony's parents divorced, and his mother left him and took everything else. His father, seeing it as an opportunity to start a new life, used the little money he had left to move himself and his son to Tokyo, where he set up a small shop to rent bicycles to english-speaking tourists. When Anthony was five, his father remarried, this time to a japanese woman. It was a sad time for Anthony as, although he was young, he was aware that his ties to his country of birth were being severed. English was forbidden from being spoken in the house as his step-mother didn't understand it and refused to learn. With his father forbidden from the kitchen, american-style dishes disappeared from the menu. His only relief was the annual superbowl, which he and his father were grudgingly allowed to watch.
Football quickly became Anthony's strongest tie to the west. He would hold conversations with tourists about their favourite teams and pretend to score touchdowns in his bedroom. When he finally enrolled in Junior High School, he was able to join the school's American Football team and poured himself into his training. By the time he entered high school, he was already renowned for his abilities. At the same time, his father decided to expand his business. With an able pair of legs available, he got Anthony to give bicycle tours of this city. Happy as he was for the extra workout, it was hard finding time for his studies between work and football and his grades suffered, much the displeasure of his stepmother who threatened to pull him from the team. Fortunately, his father stepped in and things continued this way until Anthony's graduation drew near. Knowing that this was his chance to escape Japan and move to the country dearest to him, Anthony sent applications to almost every university in the country. He was offered several opportunities to try out for scholarships but didn't have enough money to cover the costs of the flight. Feeling for him, his team banded together and covered part of his costs. His father even managed to get in touch with Anthony's birth mother and convince her to help. After several trials, he earned a scholarship at Twilight Town University, in his birth state of California. However, he was unable to keep his ties with his birth mother as the japanese influence on him reminded her too much of her former husband's betrayal and she had a new family to take care of. Anthony feels some resentment and sadness at this but keeps it buried.
Due to his poor financial standing, he made an agreement with the university to work part-time as a maintenance man in exchange for his education of board. Free from his japanese stepmother, Anthony did everything he could to embrace the western lifestyle, and died his naturally dark brown hair blonde and took up wearing sloganed t-shirts and jeans.

Keyblade: The Unyielding - Anthony's keyblade has a thicker shaft at most. The teeth are short but straight, with what looks like tiny barbs protruding from the edges. It is designed to act as well as a defensive weapon as it is as an offensive one, capable of taking battering whilst delivering heavy blows. However, this makes it heavy and difficult to wield against speedy opponents.

Other: Plays as a defensive end for Twilight Town University's American Football Team and has the highest number of sacks at college level. Is also fluent in both Japanese and English.

[Shadow Wolf]

Name: Syd S. Arashi

Age: 22

Gender: Male

Personality: Known for his nickname “Phones”, Syd is a guy who spends most of the time in his music player, usually without caring for any conversation happening at his side and just focusing on what he does. He’s usually a loner, but if he has to deal with company, he will not complain about it as long as he’s not disturbed. He just speaks when he feels like he needs to, but otherwise, talking to him might be compared to talk to a wall: don’t expect much of a response.

In spite of this, he is careful in his choice of words. He hates troubles and knows that a bad choice of words could usually lead into one. If necessary, he treats others with kindness to avoid any further communication with them.

Appearance: much like him but standing at 5’ 5” and with closed-back circumaural headphones.

Occupation: He usually does chores around town. Most of the time, he delivers mail on foot.

History: Syd was raised by 5 years of his life with her grandmother (since 9 to 14 years old). Since he was forced to sleep early, he had almost no social life. He just enjoyed his time playing videogames and listening to music and with no one to talk to, he learned to hide his worries from everyone, leading him to become and independent person. After his grandmother died, he returned to live with his parents, which is his current home. Since usually tries not to be a burden to them, he barely spends time on his home. You can usually find him around town doing stuff so win some cash, but if he’s at his house, he’s usually plugged in his phones listening to music while playing games or sleeping.

Keyblade: Wolf’s Howl: Syd’s keyblade resembles the Oblivion keyblade, but with a crescent moon design in the tip instead of a crown of sorts. The tips of the crescent moon, along with an extra tip between them, resemble some kind of claw. And even though they’re not sharp, they can cause damage. The keychain looks pretty much like the shadow of a wolf in a moon.

Other: Once he focuses on something, either a chore, a battle, or a goal, he will focus on it until he finishes it, so he hates to be dragged aside from his main focus point if he doesn’t considers it important.

[ChobiChibi]

Name: Seth Lawrence
Age: 21
Gender: Male

Personality: Seth’s a little bit two faced, but not in a nasty way. He is very much gay and doesn’t want this to affect the way that people treat him. It’s not that he’s ashamed of his sexuality, far from it, it’s just he doesn’t want to be unintentionally judged because of it. So he keeps it to himself, although if you asked him he’d tell you. Seth has a mind for retaining words, he is very good at languages and just finds them fascinating. He’s embarrassed easily, but knows how to take banter and will laugh along. He’s quite laid back really, except when it comes to studying, since he is used to being a straight A student and doesn’t intend to stop now. He doesn’t really like being alone and prefers the company of strangers than no company at all. He’ll also talk to just about anyone, he is not afraid of strangers. He also likes his sleep. A lot.

Appearance: Not cheating, since I drew him! http://chobichibi.deviantart.com/gal...75072#/d2adjb2 But yeah, he is skinny and tall (pushing 5’11’’) and tends to dress smartly. He likes fitting clothes and often wears shirts too. He has a lot of scarves. And jumpers. Just generally a lot of clothing. Since you can’t see it from my doodles, Seth’s eyes are green. I described them before as olive green, but what I mean is that they’re not bright, more like a grey green. Yeah.

Occupation: Student, majoring in languages, with a history minor. He also waits tables at a nearby restaurant.

History: Seth is British, studying in America just because he can really. There’s nothing really to note about his family life; his parents are together and he has a younger sister. He’s so independent from his parents that he barely mentions them, but he makes a big effort with his sister. He lives in dorms, and is apparently about to get a new roomie...

Keyblade: Working on this, will complete soon.

Relationships: Bff’s with Phoenix; they share a few classes and have discovered that they have a mutual love of RPG games.

Other: Seth is one of those unfortunate people whose asthma didn’t fade out as he got older. At the moment, he’s going through a good phase, so just has to keep on top of his inhalers.
