trivia and miscellaneous
True Age: ~25-28
Nobody Age: ~3-10 years. Or... something. Idefk. Nomura can't make up his mind about whether or not Nobodies age.
Height: 6'0"
Weight: Average-ish? He's got muscle, though, so he's probably heavier than he looks.
Alignment: True Neutral, to no one's surprise. Man, he just doesn't care. He takes care of His People and deals with things as they come up.
Dæmon: Settled, Arctic fox. More about that here.
Sexuality: He-doesn't-give-a-fuck-sexual. ... I really don't think he thinks about it. He comes from a KH game, okay. Things like race and sexuality are never even noticed or spoken of, sooooo.
Abilities:
Claymore-summoning! Commanding his lesser Nobodies (Berserkers) when he's still a Nobody! KHverse magic (thanks to 358/2 Days)! Limit Break!
And then there's that stuff about his berserking-ness, which I'll just quote from his background post because it's kind of buried.Everything in All has magic. People are born with magic, and it is part of what helps tie them to All; even if they never use their magic, it is still there. There are those who are born with "chaotic" magic, and instead of helping connecting them to All, it pushes them away from it, making them disconnected from the start. These people are called selfae, as children they are called selfaerayel. Once a selfaerayel is identified, usually as a toddler due to episodes of violence and skill in magic beyond their age, they are given to an elder specially chosen to raise them. This elder is given the title oba-sey and is responsible for helping the child learn to control themselves, connect with All, and generally grow into a happy, productive adult. Aïs was a selfaerayel, which was why, if he had to explain himself as a child, he would say he was a "troubled youth."
Aïs's -- and thusly Saïx's -- "chaotic magic" is the source of his berserk mode. It was often triggered by high emotions, the most common example being anger. His personality did not help this at all, as he was a very passionate kind of person, though it didn't typically show on the surface. His magic increases his physical capabilities in his berserk mode and causes slight mutations of his body, such as the coloration of his eyes, the sharpening of his teeth and nails, and the shape of his scar. It also allows him to use his magic, which takes the form of the blue-gray auras around his weapon, himself, and the shockwaves he can create with his weapon, which channels his magic and also thusly changes form when he berserks.
His magic can be called "incomplete," as it seems to draw its power from the magic radiated from the moon. However, it's more that his magic is compatible with the moon's magic, and his is a kind of magic that absorbs other sorts compatible with it. The serenity he finds while basking in the moon's light comes from this, as does his increased power while doing the same. His magic takes in the moon's, adding it to his own, thusly giving him a power boost that allows him to activate his Limit Break for extended periods of time without having to be in low health, as he did during his final battle with Sora. As a Nobody, he could turn his berserking off and on at will, due to the fact that he didn't have a heart and therefore no emotion to trigger it. This is why it only happens during battle, when he needs it most when his health is low.
I'm not sure if this is responsible for his slight masochism/sadism and violent imagination when he's angry, but, uh. Yeah. Also, the bit about moon's magic? That's why he can "hear" the moon; the song/whatever he hears is actually the energy/magic (but don't tell him that, he doesn't care and probably doesn't want to know).
Zodiac
Birthday: November 7
Born on the 7th of the Month here
Your Life: You are sensitive to changes around you but your feeling is hardly expressed. You hate exaggerations. Under your quiet personality, you are rather stubborn and self-centered. These qualities are the force behind your extreme persistence.
Your Love: You have enormous courage to please your lover. Your relationship often progress quickly.
Scorpio ♏ here
Scorpio Sun Sign is the sign of transformation. Intense and profound, they are intelligent, affable and courteous. They are self-reliant and in control, but underneath they are full of emotional energy. The Scorpio Sun Sign personality may be magnetic and even somewhat hypnotic. They can emulate the phoenix and seem to perish, only to be reborn and attain new heights.
The negative side of their personality can be intimidating, revengeful and manipulative. They model the extremes of behavior, and can be very jealous. They can be rebellious, and those who get into political extremism can make the most ruthless terrorists. They can be brooding, aggressive and arrogant, and some indulge in sadistic brutality. On the other hand, those born under this Sign may be a fan of procrastination and be a bit self-indulgent. This can happen in part because they can get so overwhelmed that they just shut down. Their directness can be overly critical or hurtful. They can be loners… they don't need a lot of social interaction to make them happy. On the positive side they are disciplined, have great willpower, and are very sensitive. They have a depth of character that can be inspiring. When they give you a compliment, it is an honest assessment. They make a loyal friend, but don't ever betray them, for they find it difficult to forgive.
Metal Ox here
Another of the powerful Chinese Zodiac signs, the Ox is steadfast, solid, a goal-oriented leader, detail-oriented, hard-working, stubborn, serious and introverted but can feel lonely and insecure. Takes comfort in friends and family and is a reliable, protective and strong companion. Home is where Oxen go to seek comfort. Oxen prefer work that is routine. They take a methodological approach to their tasks and excel in jobs that are specialized. Oxen possess a keen eye for detail and an admirable work ethic. They are more productive when allowed to work alone.
Oxen aren’t very sociable and rarely participate in group activities. They abhor small talk and won’t waste their time flirting. They will search long and hard for the perfect partner as change makes them uncomfortable. Whether due to an ox’s tendency to be overbearing or tendency to place blame on others, relationships with Oxen don’t always work out. When Oxen realize that partnerships involve two people and two points of view, satisfying matches are possible.
Like metal, these Oxen are amazingly strong. They’re extremely hard-working individuals who will do whatever is necessary to achieve their goals. They’re trustworthy, dependable individuals who are not likely to show emotion. They have difficulty interpreting the feelings of others.
Hawthorn here
I know that technically he should be something else, but this fits him better SO WHATEVER.
Outwardly, they appear to be a certain persona, while on the inside Hawthorn’s are quite different. They put the term “never judge a book by its cover” to the test. They live seemingly average lives while on the inside they carry fiery passions and inexhaustible creative flame. They are well adjusted and can adapt to most life situations well - making themselves content and comforting others at the same time. You are naturally curious, and have an interest in a broad range of topics. You are an excellent listener, and people seek you out as an outlet to release their burdens. You tend to see the big picture, and have amazing insight - although you typically won’t give yourself enough credit for your observations.

INTJ: Introspective Intuitive Thinking Judging here
With Introverted Intuition dominating their personality, INTJs focus their energy on observing the world, and generating ideas and possibilities. Their mind constantly gathers information and makes associations about it. They are tremendously insightful and usually are very quick to understand new ideas. However, their primary interest is not understanding a concept, but rather applying that concept in a useful way. Unlike the INTP, they do not follow an idea as far as they possibly can, seeking only to understand it fully. INTJs are driven to come to conclusions about ideas. Their need for closure and organization usually requires that they take some action.
It is not easy for the INTJ to express their internal images, insights, and abstractions. The internal form of the INTJ's thoughts and concepts is highly individualized, and is not readily translatable into a form that others will understand. However, the INTJ is driven to translate their ideas into a plan or system that is usually readily explainable, rather than to do a direct translation of their thoughts. They usually don't see the value of a direct transaction, and will also have difficulty expressing their ideas, which are non-linear. However, their extreme respect of knowledge and intelligence will motivate them to explain themselves to another person who they feel is deserving of the effort.
INTJs spend a lot of time inside their own minds, and may have little interest in the other people's thoughts or feelings. Unless their Feeling side is developed, they may have problems giving other people the level of intimacy that is needed. Unless their Sensing side is developed, they may have a tendency to ignore details which are necessary for implementing their ideas.
The INTJ's interest in dealing with the world is to make decisions, express judgments, and put everything that they encounter into an understandable and rational system. Consequently, they are quick to express judgments. Often they have very evolved intuitions, and are convinced that they are right about things. Unless they complement their intuitive understanding with a well-developed ability to express their insights, they may find themselves frequently misunderstood. In these cases, INTJs tend to blame misunderstandings on the limitations of the other party, rather than on their own difficulty in expressing themselves. This tendency may cause the INTJ to dismiss others input too quickly, and to become generally arrogant and elitist.
Other people may have a difficult time understanding an INTJ. They may see them as aloof and reserved. Indeed, the INTJ is not overly demonstrative of their affections, and is likely to not give as much praise or positive support as others may need or desire. That doesn't mean that he or she doesn't truly have affection or regard for others, they simply do not typically feel the need to express it. Others may falsely perceive the INTJ as being rigid and set in their ways. Nothing could be further from the truth, because the INTJ is committed to always finding the objective best strategy to implement their ideas. The INTJ is usually quite open to hearing an alternative way of doing something.
