Kingdom Hearts: Origins

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

You play as a teenager (13-19) living on any of the worlds mentioned in Kingdom Hearts 1, Chain Of Memories, or 2. The Heartless have returned, and seem to have learned from their past mistakes. They are no longer mindless. The Nobodies and Orginization XIII are newly reborn, with members and dangers anew. Sora and the other Chosen have disapeared, and rumors are beginning to spread that they have been turned into Heartless! What is worse is that now a new faction has appeared: The Wanderers! Neither Heartless nor Nobody, the Wanderers are dark creatures ruled by the Fallen -- A group of Chosen who had decided to reject the Light and have bonded themselves with the Darkness! Mayhem is everywhere, and there are no Chosen to restore peace!

Hope remains. You are the next Chosen.

Across the worlds, warriors of the heart have been drawn by unknown powers to Traverse Town. Beneath a corrupted sky, the new Chosen have defeated a swarm of endless heartless only to struggle with anger and envy. Clive, of the Pride Lands, seems to have discovered a disliking toward the Chosen, Renatus and Euat, and now other Chosen are being forced under rough circumstances to unite with strangers. More and more darkness grows as they duel with a mysterious enemy and they must grow quickly in there strength. On the second day in Traverse Town, after defeating a gigantic swarm of Heartless led by a large dog-beast, the Chosen are greeted by a large banquet provided by the mysterious White Cloaked entity. As they are enjoying the spoils of victory, they are ambushed by an army of white-figures called Nobodies who are led by a strange figure named Visisk, who seems to have some kind of relationship with Renatus. When the Chosen become overwhelmed by the unusual amounts of Dusk warriors, a magical group of creatures known as the Sentinels arrived and defeated the vast army. Explaining that the Sentinels were part of a vast plan to help prepare the Chosen for the oncoming challenges, the strange beasts then granted the young heroes with massive strength. They were now strong enough to fight a grand enemy, but Visisk returned and decided to test their strength. In an attempt to slay the Chosen before they had fully matured, Visisk summoned an army of highly skilled Samurai nobody to slaughter them but the Chosen proved victorious. Using summoning magic and the elemental properties provided by their Sentinels, the young protagonists fought the villains until they could bare no more. When all hope seemed lost, a strange doorway appeared an the Chosen fled Traverse Town. Euat, though, felt that he needed to stay behind so that he could insure that the world did not tumble back into darkness, but as he moved to seal the newly revealed Keyhole, he was drawn into a darkness that he cannot escape...Alone. What fate awaits the Chosen now that they have left Traverse Town and they are on their own?

Username: TheProtagonist
Name: Euat Eaut (Yu-et) Nickname: Revert
Age: 15
Relations: Eaut has always been a loner (With the exception of his traveling comrades, Yua, Fateil, and Tinker who have been lost to the Heartless.)
History: Eaut was born on a world that had been consumed by darkness so long ago that its name has been forgotten. When the world was completely and utterly consumed by the eternal shadow, Eaut was rescued by a mysterious man wearing white and was brought to the world of Agrabah. For five years Eaut dwelt on Agrabah, learning the to steal and survive on nothing more then instinct, and he also became friends with the street smart thief, Tinker. When he and Tinker were exploring the desert outside of the city, they encountered a black doorway. Curiosity, mixed with the desire to see other worlds and experience the adventure that he had heard about for all his life, he stepped through and was brought to Hollow Bastion, now called Radiant Garden. Here, he and Tinker lived for five more years until he was fifteen. He also met and became good friends with the young mage, Yua, and her swordsman accomplice Fateil. Then, a few weeks before the current date, another door appeared. Once again, compelled by his desire to explore the worlds, Eaut and his friends stepped through. But it was a trap. Appearing in the World of Darkness, Eaut's original birthplace, Eaut and his friends were attacked by the Heartless and only he escaped. When he tried to return to the World of Darkness to help his friends who had fallen to the Heartless, the door evaporated into darkness and a small keychain was the only thing remaining. He kept the keychain and set off on an adventure to locate another door to the World Of Darkness, so that he could free his friends and have his revenge upon the creatures who destroyed his home.
Home: The Dark Realm (The world referred to as the World of Darkness, or the world with no name), or Agrabah.

Other: He has skills that will assist him on his journeys.

Username: EikouNekoChan
Name: Renatus Cole
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Relations: His older sister Twila Cole
History:
Renatus and Twila grew up in a very morally gray manner. Twila's gray darkened around the age of nine, and she became closer to the darkness. Renatus, idolizing his sister because she had taken care of him all of his life, Renatus followed her blindly. When Twila began to take orders from the Fallen, Renatus tried his best to help her, but something inside didn't feel right. Eventually, he brought up his concerns with his sister. She got angry and called him a traitor for having such thoughts. This kept him in line until he was about to turn sixteen.
His conscience caught up with him and the looks on the faces of which he'd hurt in service to the fallen began to torture him in his dreams. The dreams continued until flashes of light could be seen and a voice could be heard as well. The voice said things like 'It doesn't have to be this way' and 'Darkness can only destroy'. This unsettled him, though he never brought it up with Twila, because she wouldn't help. She would just yell again. Also, he'd somewhat begun to believe this voice.
On his sixteenth birthday, he heard the voice outside of sleep. He was alone, after spending some time with his sister-because even though she was dark, she still cared enough to want to give him a birthday gift. Holding the silver chain and pendant of silver flame in his hand, he remembered what the voice said about darkness only destroying, but then the voice chimed in to finished the phrase- 'But only the light can heal'. He saw a light out of the corner of his eye, abut when he looked it was gone. He called out to the voice, asking what it wanted from him. It replied simply that the darkness was not who he was, and there was another flash of light. This time the light formed what looked like a doorway. 'Come,' the Voice called. Renatus tried the door but it was locked. There was a keyhole, and around the keyhole an indent the shape of the pendant Twila had given him. The voice bid him come again. Renatus fitted the pendant in and the doors opened. 'It is time to go,' the voice was louder than ever. Ren pulled the pendant from the door and went through.
It has been a year since then. He hasn't seen Twila since.\
Home: Since passing through the light, Renatus has lived normally in Twilight Town. No one knows of his past. Before, he lived in a dark world, the name of which has been forgotten even by him.
Personality: I guess, for those of you who are interested in Soul Calibur, you could say he acts a bit like Seigfried post-Nightmare, however he has a bit of a Riku-factor. Ren feels a bit condemned for his acts in the past, though every now and then the Voice will remind him that his past is call 'the past' for a reason. He's got a kind heart, but he's still learning how to use it, so he doesn't always know how to help out. He knows that light is the right path, now, though. And has recently practiced kindness to try make up for the past sixteen years of darkness.
Other: My first post will fall on his 17th birthday. It is the first time he's taken out the pendant Twila gave him since his pulling away from the dark.

Username: Commander_Caramel
Name: Nekohanai (Neko for short) Kyozume
Age: 16
Gender: Female
Relations: Neko's Dad abandoned her and her Mother to go adventuring....and never returned.
History: Nekohanai has lived all her life in Hollow Bastian/ Radiant Gardens. When the battles between the heartless and the keyblade users ensued, her and her Mother had to escape to a different world. For the past 5 years, Nekohanai has been living in Alice in Wonderlands realm, being practically bombarded with the weirdo's that lived there. Instead of becoming weird like them, though, Neko has feared them, and hid from them as much as she could (though, the Mad Hatter and Cheshire Cat somehow always finds her).
Home: Radiant Gardens
Personality: Nekohanai is very mature for her age, and is very annoyed by weirdos. For some reason, she comes off as "super cute" and "nearly kitten-like" to most people that has ever met her. She even owns a cat-ear headband she wears when she's feeling lonely. She has an infinite love for sweets and tea. Even if she resembles cats, she's scared by most of them.Even though she's very mature, she's scared by the smallest things, things that aren't even really that scary. She hates it when people sneak up on her too. She's very smart, even though she's only been taught by the Queen of Hearts.
Other: She sorta want's a boyfriend, but she can never find that Prince in shining armor

Username: LookingxGlasses
Name: Lyric Mason (Nickname: Lee)
Age: 15
Gender: Female
Relations: Winnie the Pooh (best friend), Christopher Robin (very distant cousin, also friends)
History: Lyric was good friends with her distant cousin, Christopher Robin. She decided it would be fun to live in a whole new world, one which included characters like Tigger and Winnie the Pooh. She moved there when she was ten.
Home: 100 Acre Wood (from KHII)
Personality: Lyric is not the greatest fighter, since not too many Heartless come to the 100 Acre Wood. She's a little naive at times, and a bit of a klutz. Although, her heart is always in the right place. She doesn't get upset easily. Being with the 100 Acre Wood gang softened her up, and made her not much in tune with the other worlds.
Other: Lyric was originally born in the same world as Christopher Robin, her very distant cousin (her third cousin, technically.) When Lyric was ten, she was playing with Christopher Robin at his home, Christopher showed her the 100 Acre Wood, where she decided she would live. And so, she became best friends with Pooh. As time progressed, she saw a couple of Heartless that would accidentally come upon them. Although scared, she showed her courage and fought. However, there weren't many. Only one every couple years.
Lyric is a dark-haired brunette with bright, icy blue eyes. She's a Caucasian and about 5'7".

To his dismay, he was unable to open it without his hands.
Soon after Clive's awakening, Simba approached him to ask him who he was and why he was there. Simba knew he didn't belong to the pride, but he was just a cub and Simba couldn't turn his back a youngling. Unfortunately, Clive was unable to answer his questions. Simba took him in and cared for him over the next three years. Throughout those years, he beame friends with most of the pride. However, there was one lion that he was great friends with, Jazmyn. She was a bit of an outcast in the pride and Simba really didn't approve of him seeing her. Over the years, he also grew. after those three years, he was nearly as big as Simba.
Eventually the heartless found their way back into that world. During the attack, Clive used his blade to fight off the heartless. It felt awkward at first, but he quickly got the hang of it.The battle lasted for hours. At the and of it all, Clive found himself standing before a large door. His curiosity drove him to open the door. He barely manage to open it, due to the fact that he didn't have hands. After struggling to open the door, he entered the doorway. As he walked through, he trnsformed back into a human. Unknown to him he was followed by Jazmyn. When he realized he was followed, he tried to get her back thrugh, but the door dissapeared.
The door led him to Traverse town. It was all run down and practically destroyed. He could only hope to find someone there.

These are the original characters from the first thread, but more characters are welcome. If none of the original players claim their character, a new player can take over for them until the original player returns. This is to insure that no characters are left behind!

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

The original character skeleton design will only be used if a new player must create a new character due to resignation (See rule 9)

P.S. If anyone has any suggestions on the plot or on the setup of this Roleplay, please Private Message me.

I reclaim my character! Happy to continue this role play~

I'm your co-GM! Of course I'm still playing Renatus! ;P

How could I ditch the role play? Too interesting! I will happily reclaim Kamachi as my character in this. :3

I will reclaim Lyric xD

And i reclaim Ivy Xp

I guess I have no choice but to enlist myself into the roleplay once more; since I was asked to. Note I will be playing the character I posted in the first OOC thread for it.

The_Lone_Soldier, the only problem I have with your submission is that he is a character who is already a serious part of the KH world. All of the other characters are new to this strange reality, and they have to build upon their own power but Cloud has already grown to a vast strength. Perhaps if you changed what occured in his life after the KH II game. I would be happy to accept you into this roleplay if you had something happen to Cloud similar to the events of castle Oblivion (Sora forgot all of his past memories and was forced to regain them through trial after trial.)

Perhaps cloud could have lost all of his past memories and abilities while fighting Sephiroth in the realm of darkness? Or, if you want, you could simply make another Chosen and have him enter the story through another means (Perhaps he was too afraid or too dark-hearted to follow the voice that urged him toward Traverse Town, and he has been pulled into this adventure by more dark powers than light?)

PM if you decide to make any new arrangements. As I said in the last roleplay, this sign up never closes so even if the thread begins you can always jump in eventually.

To the rest of the players: I am excited to see that almost all of the original chosen have been claimed by the original players. It is good to see everyone is still interested. For the sake of speed I will begin the thread and you can all jump into it as you please.

EDIT: Heres the IC thread. This opening is very fast paced. http://www.roleplaygateway.com/kingdom-hearts-origins-part-what-becomes-heroes-t33840.html

I've edited Renatus's profile to fit the previous rp and I've added Twila's. Enjoy!

Visisk- You could call him an old acquaintance from the
darkness

It has been a year since then. He hasn't seen Twila since.

Home: Since passing through the light, Renatus lived normally in Twilight Town. No one knows of his past. Before, he lived in a dark world, the name of which has been forgotten even by him.

Personality:((Edited))
Renatus is comparable to Riku in personality. He knows that he’s done some bad things in the past and he’s not completely sure how to act around others now that he’s ‘defected’. He’s tacit most of the time, preferring to think things over silently rather than verbally. However, when it comes down to it, he’s not afraid to speak. So, it’s not that he won’t speak, it’s just that he prefers not to. He’s not totally sensitive to others’ feelings. If you want to get your point across to him, you’ve gotta tell him straight out. Renatus has slowly learned to grasp his heroic side over time. If there’s one thing he does know it’s ‘protect your allies’. And guilt tends to bother him more than anything else. He hasn’t totally forgiven himself for his actions in the past and it really shows through in his personality.

Other: My first post fell on his 17th birthday. It was the first time he'd taken out the pendant Twila gave him since his pulling away from the dark.[/right]


Username:EikouNekoChan (for now at least)
Name:Twila Cole
Age: 19
Gender:Female
Appearance:http://th05.deviantart.net/fs48/300W/f/2009/187/7/2/Twila_Cole_by_Eikou_Neko.jpg
Relations: Visisk- Ally
Renatus Cole- Younger Brother
History: Twila was only ever looking for what was best for her and her brother. She wanted to protect Renatus. Their world was swallowed by the darkness when she was four; this meant little Ren was just over two years old. Keeping her bother alive in the dark city they’d landed in was Twila’s first priority. So, being as young as she was, she could do nothing but beg and steal to keep her and her brother alive. As soon as Ren was old enough to help out, he did. He would prove as the distraction while Twila did the stealing or he would simply use the cuteness of his young age to get people to give him food or munny.

At age eight, she came across a woman in dark uniform. Twila asked who this woman was, and could tell that she’d surprised her somewhat. The woman fled. Now, this woman could have easily taken Twila’s heart- as taking hearts was her mission. But, since someone so young had seen her, she decided to watch Twila. An interest grew and this woman began to visit Twila while Renatus wasn’t around. At first they just talked, but then she would bring trinkets or some food to curry Twila’s favor. It then grew to teaching Twila a trick or two to help her steal better. That was when Twila introduced the Lady to Ren. He was unsure, but he followed along because of Twila's confidence in the woman.

The woman trained them both, and eventually took them away to another world; a world where they would be provided for so long as they followed orders. Twila was happy, or she was pretty sure she was. Her and Renatus had everything they needed, and now they were able to do amazing things. She was even learning to use the darkness to travel, and to command the heartless. Ren was learning, too, but he didn't seem to have the prowess she had.

Then she was put to work. This was when she found out the true nature of the group who'd taken her and her brother under their wing. Her job was to claim hearts and build up the army of heartless. Of course, she did this by summoning Heartless to do it, but it was still shocking at first. But she convinced herself that this was the best way to care for her and Ren. Before long, she'd actually grown loyal to the cause of those she'd come to work under. The heartless would come out the victors, and anyone foolish enough not to join them was an imbecile.

But then, Renatus voiced his doubts. No! They had a good thing going here: they had protection, they had steady food, they had power. What did it matter if they hurt a few people. It was for the cause of their new family! After talking to him, he never said anything about it again. He followed orders with a straight face, and even seemed to take joy in the fighting that came with the job. Which made his disappearance on the day after his sixteenth birthday unforeseen.

Renatus had become a traitor. She'd only ever wanted to provide for him, and this was how he repaid her? Fine. She let him. However, their bond as a brother and sister had been damaged beyond repair. She would treat him in the same way the rest of their new family would, as a traitor...even if he was her brother.

Home: Realm of Darkness

Personality: She's a lot like Renatus, though she's become a bit twisted by the people she now calls family. But because she's not limited by guilt like Renatus, she's far more open with her feelings. She doesn't care if she hurts people- in fact she sometimes goes out of her way to do so. She can be cold, but she can also rather amicable if you share the same loyalties as her. Twila is definitely not someone you'd want to tick of, though. She's quick to take revenge and with her aptitude for the powers of darkness, she's quite capable of killing you in multiple painful ways.

Other:Her weapon looks similar to a keyblade, yet it's the same height as her. It's a swirling deep purple color with navy blue gems in either side of the blade's head. She calls it 'Midnight Ribbon'.

Ah, I'm sorry I haven't posted! I've been feeling uncreative and kinda depressed lately, and kinda forgot to keep up with this! I'll post right away...

Everything is approved, Eikou.

I had a discussion with Protagonist before posting this. Hope y'all enjoy.

Username: Protoman X
Name: Ephraim
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Relations:

Erika - Twin Sister (Missing, presumed dead)
Hector - Lifelong friend (Missing, presumed dead)
Hayden - Father (Former wielder of Ragnarok, Deceased)

Appearance:

Normal
-------------------

(Alexander's Gift - The Light of Justice [the armor])(Note: He does not sport the bulky paulderons, but he does retain his cape from the first picture)
-------------------

(the keychain is an ornate crucifix)
-------------------

(The shield. Bigger than a buckler, but smaller than a full-size shield)
History: His birthplace was the Radiant Garden. There he was raised with his sister Erika by their mother. The twins never knew of their father, until one day a heartless attack claimed the life of their mother. The children would have been the next victims, had their father not miraculously appeared and saved their lives by using a peculiar weapon shaped like a giant, golden-bronze key. From that day forward, the boy and his sister were taken to the world called Zion, home of the ancient brotherhood of knights known as the Priory. On Zion, the children lived and trained alongside another boy named Hector, and the trio became inseparable. When they grew older, the children were chosen by three Keyblades. By then, Hayden, the twins' father, had fallen to the Heartless along with the other two Keblade Knights (only 3 members of the Priory were keywielders, the others were normal knights). His golden keyblade, Ragnarok, chose Ephraim to be its new master. The girl, Erika, would be chosen by the Illumina, a slim and silvery keyblade meants to be used like a rapier. Finally, Hector, was chosen by Ragnos, a black-sheep keyblade that took on the characteristcs of a battle axe as opposed to a sword. In the midst of grieving for the loss of Hayden, Orka (Hector's father), and Raphael (the three former Keyblade Knights); the world of Zion was inexplicably devoured by darkness within mere moments. Ephraim found himself in a dark place, completely surrounded by countless Heartless. Without warning, Ragnorak began to shine, and a large knight in armor, mounted on a white peagasus appeared. He introduced himself as Alexander, and offered Ephraim his "gift", which Ephraim accepted. Alexander then proclaimed Ephraim to be the "Light of Justice", just before the young Keyblade Knight was magically donned in gold and white armor, and granted a shield to match his keyblade. Instinctively, Ephraim was able to cast the powerful Holy spell to rid himself of the Heartless in one great flash of light. The next thing he knew, Ephraim awakened in Twilight Town, apparently as the only survivor of the Priory. He was once again dressed normally, and cannot figure out if that encounter with Alexander was real or a mere dream. From there, his only concern has been finding the whereabouts of Erika and Hector, if they are even alive.
Home: Radiant Garden (birthplace), Zion (headquarters of the Priory)
Personality: Ephraim does not talk much at all. His means of communication is usually through nods and gestures. For a long time, it was thought that he was mute, but when he started fighting, he could be heard grunting sounds like "Hah!" and "Hyaah!". Ephraim had always been capable of speech (in fact, Erika was apparently the only person he'd ever speak to in full sentences), he simply chose not to speak to anyone else. Even now, the only speech that can truly be heard are his spell chants like "Cure!" or "Holy". When in need of Alexander, he will call upon his gift by proclaiming "I am the Light of the Justice!" (probably one of the few, if only, full sentences the general public will hear him speak). Once in this form, Ephraim becomes more aggressive, his grunts and spell chants sounding a bit angrier. Despite seeming shy due to his usual silence, he is still loyal and protective of his friends, becoming enraged at anything endangering them.
Other: Ephraim has the power of 4 spells: Cure, Cura, Reflect, and Holy.
Cure - Heal minor wounds
Cura - Heal moderate wounds
Reflect - Put up a barrier that deflects most common spells back at their caster
Holy - Flash of light that causes holy damage. He uses a much weaker version in his normal form, and a much stronger variant while transformed into the Light of Justice.

In case you are wondering, Erika and Hector will simply remain as "Missing, presumed dead" unless someone actually wants to play them as characters. If so, they would likely be something like this:

Erika - Ephraim's twin sister. Unlike her brother, she has no trouble talking to people. Also unlike Ephraim, Erika despises violence and will do whatever it takes to avoid fighting if possible. Her Keyblade, Illumina, is silver and slim, and wielded like rapier.
Hector - Childhood friend of the twins. Hector, unlike either of the twins, is more rowdy and always enjoys a good fight as if it were sport. His keyblade, Ragnos, is a large two-handed weapon whose shape is similar to a battle axe and is wielded as such.

Otherwise, there's no need to worry about them.

^-^ It was finally accepted, Proto! And Ephraim sounds like he'll kick real butt! *pauses for a moment* Ha! That means all the guys in this RP have combat experience, while the girls have little to none. Fun. *pauses while her brain moves on to yet another thought* I wonder if the appearance of Ephraim will affect anything in the little power struggle between Clive and Renatus...I just hope he doesn't react badly. I'm getting enough of that in our SeeD RP. *ends mental rant*

Boy, I sound A.D.D. today!

Ephraim will not wish to lead, if that's what you're wondering. His (I guess you might call it that) speech impediment would not make him an ideal team leader, if you catch my drift. Perhaps a secondary leader (one who can take charge when the real leader is not present) but beyond that, he's just another character.

One more thing, Ephraim has no more or less experience than anyone else. He simply has training, which he has not had much opportunity to put to use yet. Plus, if you count her, Erika would technically count as a girl with "experience". *shrugs*

I'm not necessarily wondering whether he'll take a leader position. I figured he'd wanna stay in the background. However, I was wondering if he'd have as temperamental a personality as Zeke. :P

And the training is much more than the active female Chosen in general have. There may be one that has had experience, and I've just forgotten. But Erika will only count if she becomes an active character.

Normally I would have posted by now, but a lack of confirmation for my character is what's holding me back. Does Protagonist always go on a hiatus in between posts?

XD Yeah, that's been a pattern. But, you're in luck. I'm co-GM, so I give you the confirmation you need. Go ahead and post!

Sorry about my hiatus, as you have put it. Lol I was away from my computer for quite some time. I'm back now, though. My apologies.

Zoinks! Speak of the devil, and you get the devil, it seems. Didn't mean any disrespect by the way. I totally understand that we all got life and stuff.

Oh, Eikou, I was playing around with some Mary Sue tests, and apparently Zeke is borderline Sue. xD I also did Ephraim and surprisingly he was almost an anti-Sue, which is very strange considering his concept is little more than the cliche knight of justice. Lol

Well, Ephraim, despite being a knight, is quiet and without leadership intention. Normally valiance and courage come with outgoingness and willningness to step up into a position of leadership. On the other hand, Zeke is a loner-ish mercenary who has a very particular opinion. While he's willing to step out, it's to get the job done and nothing more. I can see where those characters would score that way.

XD I love character design!
