(no subject)

* Character's from a universe where the good guys and bad guys of the KH world have largely been turned around. Note:
- Mickey remains a good guy. There was really no way he was getting sideswitched. In a similar way, some of the Disney villains remain just that.
- The apprentice scientists are currently on the side of good (though this doesn't necessarily mean that everything's gone their way...). They haven't had the same... influence, after all. When this lot say 'Organization XIII', they don't mean black coats and plotting around hearts.
- Sora, Riku and Kairi have undergone the most drastic changes next to Xehanort himself. They're going to the dark side (or possibly light, in Riku's case).

* Apparently just a teen; he arrived at Radiant Garden at around 10-11 years old, and genuinely doesn't remember anything before that. Various things have conspired to leave him the same age as Sora and Company in the classic series. (Ienzo's the same age as him, too.)

* He usually goes by Xeha rather than his full name, especially where friends are concerned. And yes, he worked out the anagrams a long time ago. Braig tends to call him 'runt', 'half-pint' and the likes... the full name gets saved for important moments.

* As might be expected, he's crazily hungry for knowledge. He wants to see *everything*, know *everything*. He just soaks it up. As yet, though, he's not gotten to the stage where he's translating that into a quest for power - in theory, in the right environment, it's likely that would still happen, but here? He won't get the chance to go that sort of crazy. His abilities in general are still evolving.

* He's a competent fighter, with a style that owes more to Terra than to Master Xehanort - his main problem is that he can't make Cure spells work on himself very well (internalised mental blocks). He also has a couple of attacks/moves he 'inherited' from Terra... shot locks mostly, although not all of Terra's by a long way.

What he calls 'Driving' is not quite the same as Sora; it's more like a consensual possession of the other person involved to power them up and give them new skills. Stepping into the driving seat...

* He's also been named as Ansem's adopted son; so far, that's meant 'time to study politics as well as science'. He's not getting on too badly with it, either... as for his more conventional studies, he's currently learning a lot about astronomical and light phenomena (a rather directed course of study on Ansem's part, after running into a rather interesting conversation between Braig and the kid). Or was before everything went wrong.

* Birth by Sleep? Well, there were events involving the keyblade masters and apprentices that followed the usual course until near the end. Things ended up quite differently, though. Notably, the merger between Master Xehanort's heart and Terra's body didn't go quite as before, going wrong thanks to Aqua's interference and leaving the kid we see, and Vanitas didn't just disappear... history took a different course. One that couldn't be predicted.
As far as he's concerned, his past's a blank slate, though he's *very* interested in finding it out...

* As for his key? The 'blade in question is named Lost Sentiment, looking like this: http://phoenixtrooper.deviantart.com/gallery/697076#/d2i11s2

* His theme music is basically a lighter-and-softer remix of Forze del Male (Ansemnort's theme).

* He's basically going through his equivalent of KH2 at present, though the forces behind the current danger are very different to those in the 'master'/canon timeline. Notably, the local Nobodies are 'the enemy of my enemy', the opposition works with light, creatures that can never be held by locks... and his own Nobody's out there trying to find where he belongs.

* His birthday's April 9. (... anniversary of his original journal's creation on LJ. Haha.)




Dressing room specific:

As far as the DR's concerned he turned 17 in Apr. '12. He's studying the development of new spells, with a special interest in combination spell effects.
He knows the rough skeleton of the canon version of what happens in his past, although he doesn't understand how he's ended up differently. He believes he was possibly just a younger Terra when the takeover attempt happened.

He does know about Nobodies and Heartless; more than that, he knows what he becomes in other universes, and has no intention of letting that happen elsewhere. He knows what Unversed are in loose terms, but not how or why they're around. While he's tempted by darkness at times, and likes the idea of balance between light and dark, he knows the consequences if he gets involved for himself and those around - he currently considers himself to be working on the light side of that balance, but is trying to keep himself focused on 'not being blinded by the Light'.
