Character: Xigbar
Series/Fandom: Kingdom Hearts
Original or Template version: Original
Age: Unknown; Appears early forties/Late thirties, but age since becoming a Nobody is much younger.
Gender: Male
Species: Nobody (Person that lost their heart)
Sexuality: Whatever-sexual, take that however you'd like- mostly asexual, but looking for a little laugh here and there.
Appearance:
In all total and complete honestly, Xigbar has a look that would make little kids cry. And that's only the facial features. With an eyepatch concealing one eye, and an eerie cat-like yellow pupil in the other, that alone would be enough to explain it. But of course, it doesn't end there- to further this ghoulish appearance, he also has a large jagged scar running down one cheek, and somewhat pointed ears.
He's a taller than average man, very thin- to the point of being bony, and with a very rough around the edges look overall. His dark hair is grey-streaked and he wears it long, tied back in a ponytail. Though he may have that near stick-like figure, he's a lot more fluent in his movements than one would think.
Clothing wise, Xigbar wears the typical Organization cloak- long, black, hooded, and otherwise unremarkable expect for the zipper running all the way down. He has black boots and pants underneath, and wears black gloves.
Other than that, he can sometimes be seen with his weapon- two elaborate gun arrows.
Personality:
Being a Nobody, and thus, having no 'real' feelings or emotions, Xigbar's 'personality', so to speak, is derived from the memories of his former self. In a sense, traces of his former personality remained with him after losing his heart, attributing to his current behaviour.
He speaks in a manner befitting of a teenage surfing dude, using casual terms and slang probably disproportionate to his age. Not afraid to joke around, but still serious when it comes right down to it. He also enjoys being a little ~mysterious~ at times, not always one to spit out the information on a whim.
He's not shy, either- no, not by any means. Xigbar is direct, possibly to the point of being obnoxiously blunt at times, and has little respect for personal boundaries. Basically- 'in ur space, y halo thar, good day'.
Though he often doesn't appear to take things seriously, even appears to take his post for granted, this isn't true in the least. As already mentioned, it's actually quite deceiving- he knows when to be serious, and when he is... well, shit. Run for cover, kiddies. Possibly literally.
Abilities/Strengths:
With control over space and gravity, Xigbar enjoys some fairly unique abilities. He can create space portals and transport himself around, using his control over the element to do a variety of interesting things; Everything ranging from guiding his bullets to standing upside down in midair and firing downwards.
His guns arrows resemble two elaborate guns, and are capable of firing large sprays of bullets from pretty much any angle.
Also, he has the typical darkness portal... thing... that the members of Organization XIII are so fond of. It's less important to him, considering the element he controls, but still very relevant.
Personality-wise, his lack of real emotions leaves him unable to be tied down by feelings for others, making him a deadly foe. How can you appeal to someone who, quite honestly, doesn't care?
Weaknesses:
Strangely enough, his main weakness is probably one of his strengths as well- his lack of emotions and feelings. This means he doesn't grow attached to any possible teammates, and would often find himself working alone; A disadvantage for even the most skilled.
Taking combat into consideration, he suffers the typical archer's curse. His weapon's are only designed to be used long range, and any sort of up front and direct fighting would just... suck. A lot.
History:
Xigbar was born 'Braig', a man who harboured a healthy interest in firearms even from a young age. Though little is known about the events leading up to him being involved with Xehanort and Ansem the Wise, and even less about his actual past, a few things can be easily deduced.
First off- that he has an in depth knowledge of the events that conspired at Radiant Garden; Hardly a surprise there, considering that he was one of Ansem's six apprentices, and thus, was involved very closely. There's also the fact that he isn't worried about letting others be aware of the possibility that he might know more than it seems, yet he doesn't actually disclose any details of the information. However, this may be attributed to his way of speaking mysteriously just 'cause he can, and probably isn't that notable.
Back before he lost his heart, Braig was, as mentioned above, working under Ansem as one of his six apprentices. It wasn't long, however, before Ansem himself had second thoughts and ordered a halt on the experiments. Of course, that didn't sit well with one of the six- Xehanort. He convinced the other five to continue working under him in secret.
Those continued experiments on the Darkness led to disaster when one of them went horribly wrong, and the six involved all lost their hearts, becoming the founding members of Organization XIII- a group of Nobody's dedicated to studying the heartless in hopes of obtaining hearts of their own again someday.
Braig became known as Xigbar, the second member. He had a talent for finding new 'recruits', and was responsible for digging up many of the Neophytes (new members). Eventually, he confronted the Keybearer at Hollow Bastion, only staying behind to mock him before leaving.
It was a while before he took any further action, showing up at the Land of the Dragons to mock Sora before running off and leaving behind a dragon-like heartless for him to fight. It was eventually defeated, but it was a little longer before he would confront the Keybearer again.
On the final occassion, though, there was finally a more direct confrontation. He fought Sora in the World That Never Was, calling him Roxas without offering an explanation, before finally losing and fading into darkness.

*skldgjsk note to add: This was written assuming the handicap plot was still happening, just... pointing that out so it actually uh, makes sense? Dx
[Hay, Template- Someone decided to look around BEFORE the 'zomg where am I phase' had a chance to kick in--]
Wellll, well... Looks like you're all in a bit of a jam, huh? What's the matter- cat got your tongues? [Laughter]
Not to worry! You see, there's probably not much a lot of you could tell me anyways. And anyone who can talk? Maybe I'm listening.
Or maybe not. Guess you won't know until you start- So get singing!
Sample Roleplay:
Greaaaat, you know, as fun and exciting as this was, Xigbar was getting a little sick of being the newbie around here. Ask for directions? As if. Get lost and then ask for directions? Sorry, not gonna happen. By mid-afternoon, he must have seen at least two thirds of the city already- and man, were things looking dull around here.
Hey, you're bored- let's all go to the supermarket. Or better yet! There are a hell of a lot of nice shoe stores. Never know when those might come in handy! Or go to the museum; The fossils might enjoy the company, right?
"Not!"
See, the problem was that it wasn't right. There was something off about being dragged here, and something even more off with the way they were looking at him. They were looking at him like they'd seen it all already. Meteorites crashing from the sky, dancing penguins, a third moon, the next Apocalypse... you name it, they've seen it, end of story. And it was really sayin' something that a dude like him could just prance on down the streets without a care in the world. Just ignore that last part about not being able to care, there.
Now, he wasn't sure what to do about it, exactly, but first thing's first. If he was gonna be stuck here, he might as well make it a comfortable stay. Hey, if the place was empty, what's to stop him?
And if someone owned it, well... that'd just be unfortunate, huh? Sucks to be them.
