Character Information
Name: Data Sora’s Heartless
Character Journal: feedmyglitch
Fandom: Kingdom Hearts
Approximate Age: Chronologically about a year, physically, in Sora form, about
Personality: First and foremost, Data Sora’s Heartless is actually quite intelligent. He is one of two Heartless in the series able to speak, and he also formulates a plan to escape the journal into the real world. This is something unique to him, and the only other Heartless that shows any form of intelligence beyond mindless consumption is Xehanort’s Heartless. Of course, that’s not to say he isn’t driven by hunger, but so is any Heartless. (“Ones born of the heart and darkness, hunger for every heart until the dark door opens.” and “RAGE… HATRED… GLITCHES TO FEED MY DARKNESS. AND SOON, HEARTS TO SATE MY HUNGER.”)
Adding to this, he figured out a way to become stronger-something no other Heartless in the journal tries to do. He proved to be resourceful, using the glitches and even the minds of the Heartless to feed his strength. (“Your Heartless has been gathering up, then devouring the dark intentions of the fallen Heartless. That’s where it gets its power: dark data!” and “Defeating Heartless here in the datascape, though--that wouldn't have set any real hearts free. Instead, you've releases the Heartless's minds.”) His speech patterns also demonstrate an intelligence that even Sora doesn’t seem to have, and he uses words much more similar in pattern to Ansem then Sora. (“LONG HAVE THE FALLEN WANDERED. NOW THEY SHALL SERVE THE WILL OF DARKNESS.”)
He also shows and extreme amount of patience. He quietly waits while Data Sora and Data Riku speak and figure things out. He also had the patience required to remain hidden while he devoured said glitches and minds, and Riku-the very avatar for the journal-had no idea he was even doing this. (“Wait...that's it! You're not the only one who evolved within the datascape!” combined with “I know where the bugs came from. All of them! It's your shadow--your Heartless!”)
It is later revealed, though, that while he is not the source of the bugs, he makes them worse. The source is Naminé (“Memories used to fill Jiminy's Journal, but when they were pulled apart and then stitched back together... bugs appeared.”), and Sora’s Heartless simply takes advantage of the bugs-again, demonstrating both intelligence and resourcefulness that only Xehanort’s Heartless shows. (“I know where the bugs came from. All of them!”)
It is suggested through his own words that he experiences at least some degree of emotion. His word choice carries a tone of smugness, and he even comes across as taunting. (“LONG HAVE THE FALLEN WANDERED. NOW THEY SHALL SERVE THE WILL OF DARKNESS.” and “RAGE... HATRED… AND NOW, GLITCHES TO FEED MY DARKNESS.”) At the very least, he is extremely confident of himself, both suggested by his own words and by how he allows Sora and Riku to converse when he could have simply initiated a battle right off. (“RAGE… HATRED… GLITCHES TO FEED MY DARKNESS. AND SOON, HEARTS TO SATE MY HUNGER!”)
He’s also very, very determined to achieve his goal of escaping the journal. This is evidenced by how he does not accept defeat, instead drawing on his data and evolving once more to a human shape. (“Why is it looking at me like that?” and “When is this gonna end!?”) In fact, he perseveres to the point that Sora is weakened and unable to defeat him alone and Mickey himself has to intervene to keep the Heartless within the journal.
Allegiance: Neutral for now
Abilities: He has the normal Heartless abilities, of course. That is, he can travel through the corridors of darkness, eat hearts, etc. But he has his own unique abilities, too. He wield a mimicry of the Keyblade-minus all the Keybladey powers-and spam a bunch of them in an attack. He also shows that he knows ice and fire magic, can make copies of himself, shapeshift between his true, Shadow self, a Darkside form and a form that resembles an all-black Sora with glowing gold eyes, and wield a few light spells as a double-edged sword. He also has the unique ability to feed off of negative thoughts and feelings.
Paraphernalia: None-he has nothing
Brief History: Data Sora’s Heartless began life as a simple journal entry in Jiminy’s Journal. He was just words on paper. But when everything was digitized, something strange happened: he found himself suddenly existing and aware. What’s more, he was intensely hungry, and very different from all the other data Heartless.
Now that he was aware, he had a problem. He didn’t like being confined to the journal. It was, quite frankly, boring. And there were no hearts. How could he satisfy his Heartless-y hunger if he was trapped within the journal? So he thought and thought and thought. And then he found that the Bug Blox were actually edible, and started to chomp on them. This lead to him gaining strength, and he realized: oh, I can get strong enough to escape the journal like this!
So, he kept eating the bad data. But he also found another source of strength, thanks to Data Sora! That is, when the other Heartless were destroyed within the journal, their minds were released. So, he gobbled up those minds, adding to his data and becoming even stronger, so that by the time he was found, he was pretty damn strong and Data Sora had trouble. But, in the end, he was still eliminated. Too bad.
Samples
First Person Sample:
The negativity here is… Quite strangely high. It’s an anomaly. Not even the journal had this much within its confines. The rage, the hatred… It’s all quite delicious.
[The Heartless just shifts uncomfortably, looking around before shifting the crystal in its claws.]
…This is outside the confines of the journal, yes?
Third Person Sample:
Claws scrape across stone, eliciting a sound akin to nails on chalkboard. He drags himself on all fours across the ground, seeking out the pounding heart of the rabbit he’d been chasing. But when he pounces upon it, he doesn’t do anything to it. He’d never before held something like this in his claws, and so he simply lifts it and observes the squirming creature from all angles. A truly curious beast… It kicks futilely at the air, and after a moment, he sets the rabbit down and simply observes as it darts into its burrow.
He has so much he has to learn, and he desires nothing more than to absorb all of the data he can.
