CHARACTER INFORMATION-
Canon Character and Series: Isa - Kingdom Hearts
In-Game Name: Isa Selwyn
Age: 15
Gender: Male
Position & Ship: Amestris - Cabin Boy

Appearance: Isa isn't very tall, and is also pale and skinny. Due to his age, his voice hasn't fully broken yet, and, also due to his age, he can be unfortunately vain. This means that he takes the time to spike up his short blue hair into an unfortunate duck's bum, but he thinks it looks cool and that's what counts. His eyes are blue, and he has yet to acquire any scars, giving him a fresh faced, youthful prettiness that he doesn't like having pointed out in those words. He dresses casually, but neatly, and his taste is questionable at best owing to his preference for white trousers, but he is at least well turned out.

Personality: Isa is calm and self possessed, content to stand back and observe a situation rather than jumping in to get involved without thinking. His actions are considered, and while he may not always decide upon the wisest course, you can be sure he's considered the others instead of simply rushing headlong into something. This can also make him seem stand offish, and Isa does struggle to make friends as a result. He's rarely the first one to approach, more often standing on the sidelines while someone else does the talking. If, however, he can think of something to contribute, he will do so.

That said, his contribution may be limited to a pithy, snarky comment, most usually directed towards his closest friends. His brand of humour is dry, and deadpan, and consists largely of the mean sounding mockery of those he knows well. He smiles on occasion, and laughs more rarely, but despite all of that, his comments are not out of genuinely mean intent, though it may be difficult for others to tell if they don't know Isa very well.

Isa is also something of an adventurer and mischief maker, although he does his best not to openly appear so. His idea of fun is attempted breaking and entering into public buildings and landmarks, and he needs little other motive than to keep himself and a friend occupied. Although Isa struggles to make friends, he becomes fiercely loyal to them once he does, and while he mocks them freely, he will also get up to any number of shenanigans simply because they want to do it. A part of this, much like his carefully groomed physical appearance, stems from the very teenage desire to be seen as cool, although he isn't as easily led by that as he is by the whim of a friend.

Abilities/Weapons: Isa has no more ability than the average 15 year old boy, unless his snarky comments count as a superpower. He also owns weapons and has limited experience with any weaponry.

How well can your character hack?: He can't, he's never learned; he's spent his time outside playing instead of inside staring at difference engines.

Weaknesses: Physically, Isa is just as punchable, shootable, stab-able, cut-able, and generally as easily injured as any other teenage boy with no combat training and no armour. Mentally, Isa is easily manipulated through his friends, and will do things he knows are stupid and dangerous, just because a friend wanted to do them. He's also a teenage boy, with the regular amount of teenage vanity and desire to be cool, which can also be exploited, but Isa's love for and loyalty to his friends is his biggest weakness.

History:

Isa grew up in a small, safe town situated on a small island in Hegua lake. The town isn't very old, and was started as a science project and attempt to create an oasis in the centre of the badlands. Entirely walled in, the town is known to its residents as The Radiant Garden; clever irrigation having brought the town to a carefully cultivated bloom.

Being a quiet town, there wasn't very much to keep young Isa occupied, and he quickly developed a taste for getting up to hijinx with his best friend. They were almost always seen together, and for the most part their antics were low grade mischief while exploring their home. Once they tired of that, they set their sights higher, and Isa and his friend turned their attention to the laboratories in the centre of the town used by the scientists in charge. They were not open to the public, which also meant that they were both forbidden fruit, and the only place left to Isa and his friend to explore.

Unfortunately, the laboratories were also guarded, and Isa and his friend never did manage to penetrate very far in, being caught, and removed bodily from the building. Isa took it with as much grace as he could muster, putting up no resistance. Once an attempt had failed, they would go to get ice cream.

Over time, this also wore thin, and Isa and his friend decided to set their sights on distant lands and leaving the safety of Radiant Garden for some real adventure. He left a note for his parents, telling them he'd gone with his friend to see the outside world and left. Realising that it might be a bad idea to travel alone with no weapons experience, they hitched a ride with traders to the next populated town they came to, paying their way by doing whatever work the traders might have for them.

Once they were deposited at their destination, Isa and his friend found a world of adventure at their fingertips but, sensing that their options would be limited by lack of funds, and transport, and that they may run into the same boredom that they had left in Radiant Garden, they hatched a plan to get jobs on an airship; a career that offered all the adventure they could possibly want.
