(OOC) ♥ "You are the one who will..." ♥
Greetings, wayfarer! Your local Sora-mun welcomes you to this blue-drenched journal. :D Are your characters enjoying themselves on this wonderful world we now call home? If you're in need of some fiend-clearing, help in treasure hunting, or just want to talk to a friend, you can call Sora at 555-- *gets bricked*
This OOC entry is for those that have not played the Kingdom Hearts series and don't know a lot about the character Sora (...or for anyone that's just bored and is looking for something to read). It contains revised parts of my application to
ff_zero , plus any additional notes that should be of importance prior to Sora waking up on Dias Beach. (Which happens later on this week...!)
And so, here we go!
Character you're applying for: Sora (post Kingdom Hearts II)
Series the character is from: the Kingdom Hearts series
Character's age: 15
Character's gender: male
Please give us a detailed personal history of your character: Sora's desire to see new worlds leads to his fateful departure from Destiny Islands, separating him from his close friends Riku and Kairi, as well as his (canonically unnamed) parents. In Kingdom Hearts he travels to many lands, searching for the friends he lost while trying to save said lands from the greed of the Heartless. Sora vanquishes many minions of darkness along the way, such as the evil witch Maleficent, and Ansem - the source of all Heartless. Sora is reunited with his friends in the end, but must give a tender goodbye to Riku as the door of Kingdom Hearts closes with him behind it, and another to Kairi as she goes back to their island home alone.
In Chain of Memories Sora continues his search, coming across Namine and the Organization in Castle Oblivion. Here his memories become warped and manipulated against him, but overcomes the Organization's tricks and takes down many of its members. Namine then helps him regain the memories he lost, and he falls into a deep sleep, awakening one year later.
After being awakened by his Nobody, Roxas, Sora searches once more for Riku and King Mickey. He battles both the Heartless, and Organization XIII and its leader, Xemnas, taking down the remaining members one by one. In Kingdom Hearts II Sora grows stronger in body and heart, and once reunited, must help Riku overcome his own darkness. The two friends make amends on a dark beach they think they will be trapped on forever, under the light in Sora's heart opens a door to their home, Destiny Islands. All is well when he comes back home, until the King sends them a message in a bottle...
Please give us a detailed description of your character's personality: Sora is a light-hearted boy filled with optimism, determination, and an undying will to help others in need. He has a strong sense of justice and is a capable fighter, fear no longer worming into his heart when faced against the darkness. (This is true for the most part, but he is only human, and humans are not invincible.) His friends are his life, and he will do anything for them, even if it means giving up his own heart, as displayed in the first game when he turns into a Heartless and Kairi's heart is returned to her. Bright smiles, laughter, and the occasional awkward or silly moment are common with the young keyblade master, showing that he has grown up, but hasn't lost his old child-like self. Sometimes his dedication to others over his own well-being will put him in grave situations, leaping into danger without even thinking of the consequences (ex. defending Alice in Wonderland at the risk of being beheaded). He isn't as strong as the previous keyblade masters either, but there is still room to grow, and he is, nevertheless, strong and pure of heart.
Please give us a detailed physical description of your character: Sora has spiky dark brown hair, blue eyes, light skin, and is at a medium height for his age - I'll estimate.... 5' 6"? He has a really skinny frame (compared to Riku...), but knows how to pack a good, strong punch when needed. He wears a black, short-sleeved hoodie, black and dark blue baggy, shin-length shorts, black fingerless gloves, and oversized (but not extremely) black and yellow shoes. Various bright accents are on his otherwise dark clothing, like yellow belts, shoulder guards, and red front/side pockets. He wears a silver chain around his neck shaped like a crown.
What point in time are you taking your character from when he/she appears in Final Fantasy Zero?: I plan to take Sora off Destiny Islands sometime after the end of Kingdom Hearts II. The message in the bottle King Mickey sent would be vague; no immediate threats to the worlds would be present, but by the merit of their past deeds, Sora, Riku, and Kairi are offered a chance to explore new worlds and observe to make sure they are safe. Sora will be ready for a new adventure where he can see new worlds and meet new friends! :D Alas, gummi ship failure will ensue due to Sora's lack of flight skills, and the ship will crash, Sora awakening in Final Fantasy Zero's nameless world - alone.
If any KH characters closely tied to Sora (especially Riku or Kairi - Roxas even) sign up and plan to start off in a different way, I can compromise with them., or alter my story slightly so that everything fits. ^^;
For any future Roxas: To leave things open, I won't mention anything related to Roxas' current state in relation to Sora - if they are still joined as a whole person, if Roxas is no longer with him, etc. If Sora ever mentions Roxas in his dialogue or thoughts, it will be memories of events from Kingdom Hearts 2. If you want to set up a special scenario, please let me know.
What kinds of magical/special/crazy powers does your character have, if any?: Sora has that awesome keyblade of his (an oversized key that can change shape and power/abilities depending on the keychain attached), and the ability to transform into those drive forms with the help of a party member like Donald or Goofy. Drive forms are powered-up versions of Sora that come with certain traits (being able to weild two keyblades or enhanced magic, flight, etc.) and change the color of his clothes. In the games he also learned how to use magic thanks to Donald and Merlin.
When your character first appears in the game, nearly all of their powers will be gone except for maybe one or two. These need to be two of their weakest powers. Which two will you choose? Also, which powers will be completely omited from the game because they are too powerful, such as Vash the Stampede's Angel Arm?: Powers completely omitted from use will be the following drive forms: Valour, Wisdom, Master, and Final. His Anti/Heartless form will be...awakened in the unknown future.
Sora will be stripped of all magic spells in the beginning, unable to remember how to cast them, save for the most basic Thunder spell. All of his keychains will be missing as well, perhaps lost in the gummi ship crash, leaving Sora with just the original Kingdom Key form. Sora will be searching the world for his lost keychains.
Does your character have any other non-magical skills or abilities that we should know about?: Nothing noteworthy. He knows how to swing a melee weapon like his keyblade or a sword well due to his travels and past training on Destiny Island. He has adequate strength and decent speed/reflexive skills that come with a warrior. He can swim well too, being from an island and whatnot. o_o;
Some extra background I've given to Sora is that he was learning how to play blitzball (a water sport from Final Fantasy X) from his friends Wakka and Tidus pre-KH1, and after he got home post-KH2 as well, but he isn't a pro or anything. Sora is also pretty good in the kitchen when it comes to baking. I wanted to give him a trait totally unrelated to the beach/water.
Please give us an idea of where you'd like to take your character within the scope of the Final Fantasy Zero RP: I'd like for Sora to explore the world, see new sights, learn new things, and befriend new people or reunite with old ones. I want him to enjoy the excitement of discovery without the burden of saving the universe on his shoulders again; twice is more than enough for a growing teenager.
