Even

Character tag

Name: Even (formerly: Vexen). To his Replicas, he’s Master Vexen/Even

Age: like, 40

Height: in the 6 foot zone

BD: Jan 24

Appearance notes:

Doesn’t wear an Org cloak, wears some other kind of clothes. May keep his hair tied back in a ponytail? Maybe not though. He just has so much hair. Has glasses, like every other Vexen. I have a hard time seeing any of the Vexen’s wearing glasses that aren’t, like, rectangle glasses, but maybe Even has oval ones? I also feel half frame glasses, giving him a sort of Dumbledore look tbh

Personality notes:

- A REALLY NICE GUY, ACTUALLY

- Cares legitimately so much about his Replicas. Would put his life on the line to keep them safe. Doesn’t want any harm to come to them, doesn’t want them to be used for anyone’s personal gain. Maybe he didn’t create them for the best reasons, but the least he can do is make sure they get a chance to be their own people with their own desires

- Constantly fascinated by science-y things, I mean, he is,,, Even

- Pretty chill to be around, has a fairly good relationship with all of his Replicas

- Constantly asks questions about things, but unlike Vexen, has a sense of tact and when he should,,, stop prying,,,

- HELLA PROUD, like, unbearably so. Of course he is. Hey you know the replica program?? Pretty impressive huh. Built it myself. Isn’t it great. It’s real great, ain’t it

((to be fair, his pride also extends to the replicas, and he’s proud of them?? Proud that he created them, proud of what they’ve become as well, so sometimes his pride is a good thing—at least, when he’s directing it at people who aren’t himself anyway))

Other notes:

- Built a prototype Replica Program before Radiant Garden fell, which is why it’s so successful once Organization 13 starts

- Will go well out of his way to keep the Replica Program out of Xehanort’s hands. It’s uncertain if he knows what Xehanort would do with it, or if he just, thinks it’s a bad idea overall

- Hates Xehanort for a lot of reasons, but, who doesn’t

- Was really close to Ienzo before Xehanort showed up, and then Ienzo stopped, um, caring about him as much. Alpha’s accusation of Even creating Zexion Replicas to replace Ienzo wasn’t, entirely, incorrect

- Really really really feels like he let his Replicas down. He’s pretty good at accepting losses and moving on but this one really aches at him

Dislikes:

Xehanort

When people tap idly at the keyboard while they think (cough vexen)

Notable Abilities:

Ice powers!! I play up the Org members’ control over their elements a lot. Summoning ice at will for various things—a lot of ways are useful in battle, but he can also just, freeze the ground around your feet to make you stay in one spot if he wanted. (So could, um, all the other Vexens)

Built the Replica Program in FtPverse. This is more of an accomplishment than ability but boy is it impressive

Fighting Style / Battle Stats:

Lots of protecting with that shield, shield bashes a lot, uses ice primarily when it comes to being offensive though. All the Vexens fight the same, so, using ice powers to his advantage (freezing enemies solid), and using a solid icicle as a weapon often. Making icicles burst up under your feet to pierce you.

History:

- was an apprentice to Ansem the Wise! Helped raise Ienzo

- may or may not have participated in questionable experiments to learn more about the nature of the heart, but I’m not even sure Xehanort started those in this universe, seeing as he had his memories intact? And, besides, Even was devoting a lot of time to the Replica Program

- DEVOTED A LOT OF TIME TO BUILDING A REPLICA PROGRAM

- was mad when RG fell because he lost all of his progress. But, I mean, who wouldn’t have been. This is one of his major beefs w/ Xehanort, though general distrust of him (FOR GOOD REASON) is the rest of it

- it’s possible that he knew all the things Nort got up to before RG fell??? Ansem turned a blind eye, but Even’s not blind. He probably saw it.

- made a very extensive Replica Program, spent a lot of time keeping it running and also making sure Xehanort, er, Xemnas didn’t use it for his own means. ((It’s not like he was going to let something as trivial as losing his heart stop him from continuing his life’s work))

- was inevitably killed by Riku in the Truth Hurts

- finally came back in ATR. He’s around and helping out wherever he can. He doesn’t intend on building more Replicas or doing much in the ways of keeping them under control now that the Org is gone, but he’ll help rebuild where it’s needed
