Rambly Roxas Meme.
Body and Appearance
1. Describe the character's height and build. Is he heavyset, thin, short, rangy?
Roxas is probably of an slightly below average height in most teenagers, and shorter than most adults, at least in the Kingdom Hearts world. His height is something he's kind of sensitive about. He's thin, but not incredibly so, and that affects most of his frame. Roxas is more wirey than anything else.
2. How old is he?
I mark him at around 15, but his age will always match Sora's. In terms of existence, he's been around for a year.
3. Describe his posture. Does he carry himself well or does he slouch?
Roxas has pretty good posture most of the time, ie: when he's walking. Sometimes when he's sitting he's been known to slouch, since he is a teenager, but he's not afraid to walk with pride and his head held high.
4. How is his health? Is he fit or out of shape? Any illnesses or conditions? Any physical disabilities?
Roxas is in good health, and very much in shape. He doesn't have any illnesses, and it's hard to say if a nobody can suffer those. He also doesn't have an physical disabilities.
5. How does he move? Is he clumsy, graceful, tense, fluid?
Roxas is usually pretty graceful, and as said early, walks with pride. At the same time, if he's caught up in his thoughts, he tends to be a bit more clumsier.
6. How attractive is this character physically? How does he perceive himself in the mirror?
Roxas is more cute than attractive when perceived by others. He has a boyish face and generally just looks like a kid. It's easy to see emotion displayed on his face. While others might see similarities to Sora, he doesn't, all that much. When he looks in the mirror, Roxas probably doesn't see much. Just himself. He doesn't look into a lot of mirrors, since that doesn't really matter to him.
7. Describe his complexion. Dark, light, clear, scarred?
Roxas has a fairly pale complexion, without any scars or lines.
8. Describe his hair: color, texture, style.
Roxas's hair is blond, and has the ability to defy gravity. It's probably pretty fluffy if you touch it though.
9. What color are his eyes?
Roxas has very blue eyes.
10. Does the character have any other noteworthy features?
Not that I can think of.
11. What are his chief tension centers?
That's hard to say. Probably between his shoulders?
12. What is the character's wardrobe like? Casual, dressy, utilitarian? Bright colors, pastels, neutrals? Is it varied, or does he have six of the same suit?
From the point I've take Roxas, he tends to wear really casual clothes. They're a soft brown colour, with some black and white affects. It fits the feel of the town that he believes he lives in. Being a video game character, he doesn't change clothes, but does have a pair of pyjamas, a blue t-shirt and blue shorts.
13. Do his clothes fit well? Does he seem comfortable in them?
They fit really well, and he seems to find them comfortable.
14. Does he dress the same on the job as he does in his free time? If not, what are the differences?
When Roxas was working for the Organization, he wore the uniform, being a long, black hooded cloak, with gloves and boots, also black. It's quite different from his casual outfit.
15. You knew it was coming: Boxers, briefs or commando?
Boxers.
Speech
1. What does this character's voice sound like? High-pitched, deep, hoarse?
It sounds medium-pitched, and much like a teenager's after puberty.
2. How does he normally speak? Loud, soft, fast, evenly? Does he talk easily, or does he hesitate?
He speaks evenly, and tends to hesitate, usually right before he starts speaking. Once he gets into a conversation, it's easier for him to talk. He speaks evenly and with good diction.
3. Does the character have a distinct accent or dialect? Any individual quirks of pronunciation? Any, like, you know, verbal tics?
Nope. Just some hesitations.
4. What language/s does he speak, and with how much fluency?
Whatever is common in Kingdom Hearts Land, so in this case we'll say fluent English. No other language is used in Kingdom Hearts Land other than the main one (ie: English, Japanese, whatever language the game was played in). It's assumed there's a magical understandability through the worlds.
5. Does he switch languages or dialects in certain situations?
Nope. Magical understanding sees to that.
6. Is he a good impromptu speaker, or does he have to think about his words?
Roxas really thinks about his words, unless he's angry or desperate for information. Then he tends to blurt things out or run at the mouth.
7. Is he eloquent or inarticulate? Under what circumstances might this change?
Usually it's a mix of both, depending on the situation. If he has the time to think about his words, he's pretty eloquent, but being nervous or angry might make him inarticulate.
Mental and Emotional
1. How intelligent is this character? Is he book-smart or street-smart?
Roxas is pretty smart, and it's widely suspected that he is the "smarter" half of Sora. Although he is more street smart than book smart. If he went to school, he'd probably be a good student, but that is not the case.
2. Does he think on his feet, or does he need time to deliberate?
Roxas definitely thinks on his feet. If there is something he needs to know, he acts, no questions asked.
3. Describe the character's thought process. Is he more logical, or more intuitive? Idealistic or practical?
Roxas's though process is intuitive. He goes by instinct, even if that instinct leads him the wrong way. In other words, if he thinks someone's lying to him, he's not afraid to act with that in mind. He probably thinks more practically compared to Sora, given his experiences, and the short end of the stick that life hands to him.
4. What kind of education has the character had?
Not a whole lot beyond what he's been taught by Organization members.
5. What are his areas of expertise? What, if anything, is he interested in learning more about?
Roxas is good a completing errands, as well as fighting. In Route, he's most interested in learning about this new world and pokemon in general.
6. Is he an introvert or an extrovert?
I'd say he's more of an introvert in a new environment, but can have extrovert tendencies. He likes talking to friends, but not being in a crowd of strangers.
7. Describe the character's temperament. Is he even-tempered or does he have mood swings? Cheerful or melancholy? Laid-back or driven?
Usually he's pretty even tempered, seeming almost apathetic towards everything or melancholy. He doesn't really want to care, but does.
8. How does he respond to new people or situations? Is he suspicious, relaxed, timid, enthusiastic?
He's sometimes suspicious or timid, but determined to learn about the person or place anyway. He's not good with talking to new people, but he can do it. Being in a new world is pretty exciting, but he doesn't make his excitement public.
9. Is he more likely to act, or to react?
Roxas is more likely to react to a situation, rather than act.
10. Which is his default: fight or flight?
Roxas will stand and fight.
11. Describe the character's sense of humor. Does he appreciate jokes? Puns? Gallows humor? Bathroom humor? Pranks?
Roxas doesn't have a very good sense of humor. It's there, but delayed, since he doesn't know a lot that would make the joke funny.
12. Does the character have any diagnosable mental disorders? If yes, how does he deal with them?
Nope.
13. What moments in this character's life have defined him as a person?
-The day he met Axel. Axel was his first friend and someone that he came to rely on heavily during his days in the Organization. Roxas really knows a lot because of him.
-Meeting Xion. While he doesn't remember it, Xion was Roxas's friend and that sort of had his Sora-side come into play with loyalty to his friends.
-Learning the truth about himself and his purpose in the Organization. This is where Roxas started to yearn for his own identity and to be who he wanted. It's also the day where tensions started between him and Axel. As well as when he had to destroy Xion, and then was defeated by Riku, leading to his being taken to the digital Twilight Town.
-The First Day. When strange things started happening to him, and subsequently, all of that week.
-The Seventh Day. Things finally unravel, and Roxas remembers everything. He doesn't want to go back, but he does.
14. What does he fear?
Losing himself. Roxas doesn't want to become lost, or be a part of Sora. Roxas wants nothing more than to be himself and is afraid to lose that chance.
15. What are his hopes or aspirations?
To be allowed to be his own person. In Route, he wants to learn more about pokemon, and maybe become the champion.
16. What is something he doesn't want anyone to find out about him?
He doesn't want people to know that he's a nobody, and not supposed to exist. He feels that if people learn he's not supposed to be there, they'll make him go back to Sora.
Relationships
1. Describe this character's relationship with his parents.
Roxas doesn't have parents.
2. Does the character have any siblings? What is/was their relationship like?
The closest thing Roxas has to a sibling is Sora. They never actually met, except once, and Roxas, at that point, was very angry at Sora. Sora seemed to have everything he wanted, and he felt that it was unfair that Sora was so important that Roxas had to give up his existence for him.
In Route, after discovering Sora, Roxas doesn't mind him as much, since Sora seems to want to be friends. Roxas reciprocates this.
3. Are there other blood relatives to whom he is close? Are there ones he can't stand?
Not really.
4. Are there other, unrelated people whom he considers part of his family? What are his relationships with them?
Probably the closest person would be Namine, even though at this point he doesn't know her very well. He sees Namine as a kindred spirit, since they are both nobodies, and she seems to understand him.
Axle probably comes next, since he is Roxas's closest friend. He sees Axel as a friend and mentor.
If he remembered Xion, she would be considered in this to, as she is also a close friend and someone Roxas would fight, and die for.
5. Who is/was the character's best friend? How did they meet?
Axel. He was the one who found Roxas and brought him into the Organization. Axel took the stance of being Roxas's mentor, and quickly his friend. Their relationship is on pretty shaky ground right now.
6. Does he have other close friends?
In Twilight Town, Roxas was quite close with some of the kids there, Hayner, Pence, and Olette. However, when he found it was digital, those friendships were digital as well, and thus not real.
7. Does he make friends easily, or does he have trouble getting along with people?
Since he's coming from a point where he's lost a lot, he's not very good with making friends, since he doesn't want to loose them again. And because he's quiet, he's not very good with talking to people.
8. Which does he consider more important: family or friends?
Friends definitely. Family's a foreign concept to him.
9. Is the character single, married, divorced, widowed? Has he been married more than once?
Single. Never been married.
10. Is he currently in a romantic relationship with someone other than a spouse?
Nope.
11. Who was his first crush? Who is his latest?
My headcanon says he has a small crush on both Olette, and a small one on Namine, but it's hard to say because of the fact that he's a nobody, and technically not supposed to feel emotion.
12. What does he look for in a romantic partner?
Hypothetically, he would probably look for someone who accepted him as he is. But he's not looking for a romantic relationship.
13. Does the character have children? Grandchildren? If yes, how does he relate to them? If no, does he want any?
Nope. I don't think that would ever cross his mind.
14. Does he have any rivals or enemies?
In Twilight Town, there was Seifer and his group, which he considered his rivals. In the Organization, he often had to stand his ground against Saix. In Route, he doesn't really have any enemies.
15. What is the character's sexual orientation? Where does he fall on the Kinsey scale?
I've always seen Roxas as straight, almost asexual. There's certain room for a bromance with Axel though. I would say a 0 or 1 on the Kinsey scale.
16. How does he feel about sex? How important is it to him?
Like I said, I see him largely asexual and not very interested in sex. He may be a teenager, but considering everything that's happened to him, sex is the last thing on his mind, and really, it's Kingdom Hearts. It's a Kids game.
17. What are his turn-ons? Turn-offs? Weird bedroom habits?
N/A
Beliefs
1. Do you know your character's astrological (zodiac of choice) sign? How well does he fit type?
Roxas isn't assigned a birth date so it's kind of hard to say. I'll contemplate this.
2. Is this character religious, spiritual, both, or neither? How important are these elements in his life?
Roxas doesn't really believe in anything, since nothing's really given him something to believe in. He relies on himself and that's about all he's got. He doesn't really care either way.
3. Does this character have a personal code of morals or ethics? If so, how did that begin? What would it take to compromise it?
Not really. His belief in himself came about because of everything he learned about himself. He relies on himself, and it's kind of hard to get him to rely on others. He's stubborn that way.
4. How does he regard beliefs that differ from his? Is he tolerant, intolerant, curious, indifferent?
He doesn't really care all that much. He might be a bit curious if they make sense to him though.
5. What prejudices does he hold? Are they irrational or does he have a good reason for them?
He doesn't like authority or people talking down to him. Considering that authority told him to hurt his friends, and that by talking down to him, they were denying him the right to exist, I'd say he's pretty justified.
Daily Life
1. What is the character's financial situation? Is he rich, poor, comfortable, in debt?
He's got a nice pile of money going, as he's been working at the pokemon mart in Route.
In the KH-verse though, he doesn't really worry about that, except when he wants to go to the beach.
2. What is his social status? Has this changed over time, and if so, how has the change affected him?
He doesn't really have one.
3. Where does he live? House, apartment, trailer? Is his home his castle or just a place to crash? What condition is it in? Does he share it with others?
In the game, he seems to have a house, and tricked out room. It looks like he lives alone, since there is no prescience of parents. It's in good condition for a digital house.
4. Besides the basic necessities, what does he spend his money on?
Sea Salt Ice Cream. Seriously, that's all.
5. What does he do for a living? Is he good at it? Does he enjoy it, or would he rather be doing something else?
He doesn't really do anything in the game verse. The Organization work wasn't really a salary job.
In Route, he's a trainer. He likes quite a lot and would be happy to continue doing it.
6. What are his interests or hobbies? How does he spend his free time?
Roxas really likes sports, mostly Struggle. He likes to spend a lot of time outside, and is a very active kid. Outside for him usually means a city, rather than the woods though.
In Route, he spends it training, or exploring.
7. What are his eating habits? Does he skip meals, eat out, drink alcohol, avoid certain foods?
He eats fairly regularly, but probably has more candy than he should. He usually eats out, not knowing how to cook.
