How long have you roleplayed your character, if at all? Since August 18 of 2006. Still currently RPing as her.
Where have you roleplayed in general and/or with this specific character? So far, I've only RPed as Larxene in one other game.
Have you played the game/watched the movie or anime/read the book or comic, etc. that your character hails from? I've played through Chain of Memories (normal and Rebirth modes), and both Kingdom Heart games out on the PS2. I also have some of the manga scans for CoM, but haven't read all of it.
Please give us a detailed personal history of your character: (They don't go into Larxene's past at all in Chain of Memories. I'll just write all of the official info that's out, and give an explanation on Nobodies.)
Larxene is a Nobody and a member in Organization XIII. She was "born" in Twilight Town when she lost her heart to the darkness.
Nobodies are made when people with strong hearts become Heartless. The remains (body and soul) are then born anew in Twilight Town. A Nobody has no real emotions, and they are constantly plagued and tormented by feelings of being "incomplete" and an empty void inside of them. Most Nobodies have deformed and inhuman appearances. However, Nobodies who had exceptionally strong hearts can retain their human form with only minor alterations being made.
These Nobodies have banded together and formed a group called "Organization XIII" where they dedicate themselves to studying the secrets of the heart in hopes that they'll be able to find a way to become human again.
The members in Organization XIII all have an assigned rank, given to them at the moment they joined. Naturally, I is the rank of the Superior, while XIII is given to their newest member.
Larxene ranks in at number XII and is the only female Nobody in Organization XIII. Yet despite her rank, she holds little to no respect towards most of the other members, elder or neophyte.
Arrogant and conniving, she grows tired and unsatisfied with having the Superior in charge and begins to conspire with Marluxia and Axel on overthrowing the Organization to achieve their own plans. Using Castle Oblivion and the "witch" Nanime; Larxene, Marluxia, and Axel hope to manipulate Sora's memories and use him to gain control of the Organization.
However, Larxene didn't know that Axel was planning on betraying them. And she never did, because she met her end when she pushed Sora too far for her own good…
Please give us a detailed description of your character's personality: All Nobodies are incapable of feeling emotions, and Larxene is no exception. Instead, she tries to fill in that void by indulging in sadism, the act of finding pleasure in the pain of others.
Going by the nickname of "Savage Nymph", she enjoys nothing more than being cruel and hurtful to anybody around her. Whether it's done verbally or by physical means, she shows no consideration at all for the feelings others and enjoys seeing them in pain, as well as causing it.
She loves to fight and will almost never refuse any challenges. If anything, Larxene is actually fond of combat. The reason is simple: because it gives her an opportunity to establish the apparent superiority she feels she has over others. But not only that… The rush from fighting, the exhilaration, the desperation of facing defeat… It's enough to make her forget, if only for a brief moment, that she's just an empty shell of what she used to be.
Conceited, selfish, and arrogant... Larxene only looks out for herself and what's in her best interests. And it's these same interests that may coincide with or go against the plans of the Organization. She trusts nobody, has no desire to make friends, and would use others to further her own desires without giving it a second thought. Including other Organization members…
Please give us a detailed physical description of your character: Larxene is among the shorter members of the Organization, and is also one of the youngest. Her childlike face has blue eyes, while her blonde hair is always slicked back, almost reaching her shoulder blades. Two strands of her hair however are always standing out from the rest… They're long and arching back, resembling insect antennae.
She can usually be seen wearing her Organization attire. It consists of a long, black leather coat with a double zipper, silver chains in the front, and an accompanying hood in the back. On her hands, Larxene wears matching black gloves and for footwear, black boots with thicker heels than the ones found on the male members.
What point in time are you taking your character from when he/she appears at Landel's? Pre-game. On the day before Sora, Donald, and Goofy arrive in Castle Oblivion.
What kinds of magical/special/crazy powers does your character have, if any? As a Nobody, Larxene is able to hover/levitate temporarily, jump high, use portals to cover large distances and travel between worlds. She can also summon and control a type of primitive Nobody. (It's never specified which though, so I'm just gonna go with Dusks and Creepers.)
Her elemental affinity is Thunder. She can create lightning and use it in her attacks in many different ways, as well as being able to grow stronger and have her wounds healed whenever she's hit with an electrical-based attack.
She can also "call forth" her weapons (several throwing knives, each one held between he fingers) at any moment.
If present, how do you plan to tweak those powers to make him/her appropriately hindered in the setting of Landel's? She won't be able to bring out her knives at all. Hovering, levitation, high jumping, using portals, summoning other Nobodies? Yep, that's all gone too.
However, I would like to request that she still keep her ability to create electricity. It won't obviously be as strong as it is in-game, but just enough hurt others and stun them temporarily. Think… taser strength. Her limit is going to be two discharges a night.
Does your character have any other non-magical skills or abilities that we should know about? Larxene is one of the faster and more agile members of the Organization and has a natural elemental affinity for Thunder. She's good at throwing things with precision and accuracy, knows some stuff about the "heart" and has kept track of what Sora's done since obtaining the Keyblade.
How about improbable appendages? Not really, unless you count her hair?
Please give us an idea of where you'd like to take your character within the scope of the Landel's Damned RP: Larxene is more likely to make enemies than friends. Actually, she's incapable of making friends and keeps people around based on either how useful they'll be for her, or how much fun she can get from them. She likes to fight, so she'll probably get in her fair share of battles during her stay in Landels.
What kind of psychological effect do you see Landel's Institute having on your character? I imagine Larxene being pissed off that her powers have been restricted, but she'll get over it after a while, maybe. And since she's a sadist, she can be kept pretty happy as long as she can hurt others (mentally, emotionally, or physically) from time to time.
