Character History: Like all of the Organization, Saïx had, at one time, a heart, and also a different name. The name Saïx was given to him by Xemnas upon joining the Organization and is an anagram of Isa. As Isa, he resided in Radiant Garden, and was best friends with Axel’s former self, Lea. The two, as teenagers, made a small appearance in Birth by Sleep, and are shown to have met Ventus, and be up to no good. Sometime later Isa loses his heart to the darkness and his strong will and soul, allow his body to go on without a heart, and thus, Saïx is born.

And Here’s a Link to the rest…

Personality: Saix comes over as a calm and cold individual, not at all concerned about others emotions or feelings. He can’t, for he lacks the heart to be able to feel sympathy or any sort of emotion and he is very aware of this fact. But while he’s very aware that he cannot feel, it seems he has another face hidden from view, just like the moon has a light side and a dark side.

He is firmly adamant that he lacks any and all emotion, stating that he may not be able to feel, but he does remember what each emotion is, and that’s what makes the Nobodies special. Lacking feeling means he has no remorse or feelings of guilt so he is far from concerned when he upsets someone or hurts their feelings. And hurting others hearts with scathing words is something he’s very good at. He has no issue with throwing Sora into confusion or upsetting him so that he will continue to defeat heartless and collect hearts for the Organization. If he had a heart, you might even say he appears to enjoy upsetting people. It’s interesting to note however, that at one time Saïx did value his friendship with Axel, which was brought over from their previous existences as Isa and Lea. He even scathingly says to Axel, “Which would you rather suffer the loss of, some make believe friendship, or a real one?” when Axel starts seeing Roxas and Xion as his friends over Saïx. When their friendship falls apart and Axel leaves the Organization after failing to bring back Roxas, Saïx easily writes him off as a traitor to be punished or eliminated.

While he appears calm, he is malicious to a fault and terribly cruel. He’s made Sora drop to his knees and beg to see Kairi. The act was then rebuffed with a cruel, cold, “In that case, no.” He also is not above eliminating, or ordering the elimination of other Organization members, and he doesn’t always treat the other members with respect given he is second-in-command. Xion, given that she’s a replica often gets the brunt of his maliciousness. He sees her as nothing more than a puppet, and insists on calling her ‘it.’ When she starts failing missions he comes down incredibly hard on her, her with vicious words. He’s ruthless when it comes to missions on a daily basis as well. Things must get done and failure is not an option, in fact, one cannot return to the castle unless the mission is complete.

Saïx is also incredibly intelligent and very good at manipulation. Aside from manipulating Sora to harvest hearts for Kingdom Hearts, he often manipulates situations within the Organization to suit his needs while still fulfilling the orders passed down to him from Xemnas. He is the one who orchestrated the deaths of the loyal Castle Oblivion members, although Axel was the one to carry out the sentence. His reasoning stems from his desire to move up in rank, and also his and Axel’s plan to overthrow Xemnas so they can get their hearts back, as it seems Saïx suspects Xemnas of having other goals. This plan proves that while Saïx appears loyal, he has his own goals in mind, and would, if he could, try to overthrow Xemnas.

While he may be outwardly calm and ruthless, he does harbor a duality. Unlike his other Nobody counterparts, it appears Saïx does understand one emotion quite well. Rage. These berserk fits are violent and dangerous as he is not of sound mind and will strike at any and all in the vicinity with his claymore. While battle appears to be the quickest and most common trigger of this side of him, the moon is also a trigger, and no doubt there are others. Saïx even has to ask Xemnas for permission to “end this charade” possibly suggesting that this vicious lunatic is indeed Saix’s real face, and he was under order to keep it hidden until the time was right.

Extra:
Character Abilities: Saïx is a lunar element and draws much of his power from the moon. He is also a berserker, and in battle, given the right conditions, such as the moon’s influence, he will lose his normal icy calm and become a battle crazed lunatic. When this happens and he strikes with his weapon (His Claymore named Lunatic) it will cause not only shock waves, but a blueish white flame. He will also throw his weapon at his opponent, and generally he needs to either be knocked out of this state of mind (using his own weapon) or avoided until he comes out of it on his own. When he is not berserk, he uses powerful slashes and uppercuts, but often seems more content to stand draw power from the moon. In his normal state of mind, he is not the fastest of fighters or the best at defense as he prefers to overpower with brute strength and constant attack. His berserk state not only gives him a boost in brute strength but also a significant boost in speed.

Like most Nobodies, Saïx has the ability to open dark corridors, which allow him to travel from place to place in an incredibly fast and efficient fashion. He also can summon lesser nobodies such as Dusks or Creepers to do his bidding and has control over the Berserker Nobodies, who fight much in the same fashion he does (Though this summoning ability won’t be coming with him, it’s included for the sake of being complete-most games, I’ve heard, don’t allow it anyway).

Possessions: He’ll be bringing along his clothes ( black Organization coat, boots, gloves and pants) and his claymore, Lunatic, which he is able to summon at will.
Anything else: Nothing else. :)

Action/Communication thread/post sample:

I’m far from amused.

[Yes the tone of his voice might hint at annoyance...]

I have things to do, and visitors to greet. You wouldn’t want me to seem rude now would you? I suggest you cease and desist with this ridiculousness.

[He’ll pause a for a while, as if expecting this illusion to fade, when it doesn’t he’ll ask the question that everyone is probably sick of, and when he speaks if it sounds a tad bit on the snappish side, it’s because it is. His patience is wearing thin.]

I don’t have the time for this, nor the patience….

Where am I?

Log/Prose sample:

He assumed things would go a bit awry when Axel returned from Castle Oblivion alone. The loss of Namine was a terrible blow to their cause, but under the circumstances of the so-called massacre, it could be forgiven. Forgiven, as he was the one pulling the strings from the side-lines; after all he’d been the one to order the elimination of the three loyal members.

And then Roxas decided to walk away… And when Axel couldn’t bring him back, he followed his friend’s example and defected as well.

The most frustrating thing of this was Axel seemed to be playing on the Keyblade wielder’s behalf. There was no hope for their plan now. Axel had chosen his side and disregarded his real friendship, and this betrayal could easily bring about the demise of Kingdom Hearts, the one thing that could give him back his heart.

If Axel was going to stand in his way, then he’d just have to eliminate him too.

He drummed his fingers a few times on the side of his chair, eyes narrowed a bit more than normal, scowl deep set on his lips. Could he feel annoyance? No, but Axel was certainly trying his patience.

Sora wasn’t going to be the problem; so far manipulating him had proved relatively easy. If Axel had decided to switch sides, he would just have to instill a distrust of No. VIII within the key bearer. A hopefully simple task given that Roxas was now a part of Sora, and to create a nobody, the loss of a heart is required. He would tell him that Axel was going to turn him into a heartless and wasn’t acting within in the Organization’s interests. If Sora was as against the heartless as he appeared, surely those words would make him think twice about trusting the so-called Flurry of Dancing Flames.

His lips lifted into a nasty smile, his eyes narrowed and something--a slight flicker of Maliciousness perhaps?-- showed within. He’d just have to make sure to stay one step ahead of his old friend and that, he knew, would be a difficult task.

Tailing Axel is a tolerable option, but if he ever managed to corner the traitor, there might very well be bloodshed. Axel has to pay for his betrayal and for deserting their goal, but most importantly, he knows too much and the consequences of any information slipping into the wrong hands would be dire. He has to be dealt with.

“Now you’ll share the same fate as those in Castle Oblivion. Only you’ll be cut down by the very keyblade you so chose to protect. ”
