Sora's Shadow (Shad)



Theme || Playlist (2) || Character tag || Gallery


Name: Well, it’s not Shad, but

Age: 14?? 15?? Sora’s age.

Height: Sora’s height (5’5)

BD: lmao

Appearance notes:


He looks basically exactly like Sora, same face same build same height same everything except hair/eyecolor/clothes. He’s got paler (lighter?) skin than Sora, though he’s still Brown. His hair is generally unruly. His eyes are yellow-gold, like a Heartless, not orange-gold like a Nort, and that’s a very important distinction.

His hands are rough and calloused, because that's what having chains as your weapon of choice will do to you. Sure, he has gloves, but even if he doesn't have callouses in the palm of his hand, he sure does have them on his fingers.

Personality notes:


- An asshole. Would trip you and then laugh at you. 

- Pretty conceited, thinks he’s hot stuff, laughs at his own jokes.

- Short temper. Gets pissed at the drop of a hat, wants to strangle anyone who prevents him from getting his way.

- Takes enjoyment from watching other people suffer.

Other notes:


- He's Sora’s Shadow, or Sheto, a creature made specifically to drag Sora into darkness. Well, that’s what he claims.

- Can hear Sora’s thoughts / feel Sora’s emotions at any given moment, along with communicate telepathically with Sora (Sora can do the same, but, like, doesn’t really know he can so he doesn’t)

- Has something of a crush on Kairi.

- Has a habit of drumming his fingers on things, especially when nervous

Misc. 


Likes:
Watching people suffer
Digging into the juicy dark painful stuff in anyone’s lives
Chains
Himself
Cake / sweets
Kairi

Dislikes:
Being interrupted
Having his plans getting shook up
Tifa
Maleficent
Nosy people
Public displays of affection

Music taste: MCR and other "edgey" music, Pierce the Veil being among his fave. Has an extreme soft spot for female vocals, though he will not admit it. Secretly loves Florence and the Machine / Marina and the Diamonds / and Lorde, probably. One day he will discover Carly Rae Jepsen and it will change him irrevocably.

Favorite color: red

Notable Abilities:


Extremely versed in, uh “dark magic”? What do you call it in KH. Is it just being able to use and manipulate darkness. Well. He’s good at that.

Can sense emotions / read hearts of people who aren’t Sora. He doesn’t have constant access to this sort of thing, though, he really has to dig, and often can only access thoughts touched with darkness

Can also manipulate hearts and make people think/believe/feel things, at least to a minor extent. I’ve described it as “tugging at heart strings” which is most like tugging at their fear/anger/whatever and making it spike up for a few moments. People more skilled at this can keep their illusions going for a long time, but Shad’s generally only last a few minutes

Can control his chains telekinetically.

Can teleport. He does not use dark corridors to get around, he literally teleports.

Fighting Style / Battle Stats:


That Keyblade + chain combo of his. He uses his chains a lot, and fights one-handed with his Keyblade even when his chains aren’t summoned, unlike Sora who fights two-handed. This is largely so that his left hand is always free, since he can summon his chains on a whim

He can manipulate darkness and use magic, though he usually sticks to dark variants of spells (dark blizzaga vs regular blizzaga). Not that he can’t manage the regular variants, it’s just habit to use the dark variants

In RPG terms, he’s, I dunno, a regular fighter? Sora’s a well-rounded jack of all trades, and Shad’s a little similar, though he fights with more magic than Sora does and is better at long-ranged stuff, thanks to his chains.


History:


Well, there’s not much that isn’t recorded in Dead Inside, but here’s some notable, non-spoilery events, at least from Part 1 anyway. We don’t want spoilers on his page.

- has attempted to drag Sora into darkness multiple times now

- has an ongoing friendship with Kairi, sort of

- snooped in on Namine and Riku that one time?

- Tried to kill Cloud, got his butt handed him to by Tifa. He really hates her for it.

- has manipulated Sora a few times to make Sora say really mean things to his friends

- for the most part, his life has completely revolved around Sora / fighting Sora. For the most part.

this is his Keyblade, Binding Chains

Sora



Name: Sora

Age: 15

Height: 5’5

BD: March 21

Appearance notes:


Brown skinned because most everyone on Destiny Islands is. The bluest eyes you can imagine. His hair’s also brown, like it should be, not that ugly dirty blonde it is in kh2??? Incredibly short (shorter than Kairi), of a wiry and lanky build. A little underweight, as of the second half of Dead Inside on.

Also as of the second half of Dead Inside on, has a scar that goes all the way across his face, from his left eye down to his right jaw bone, continuing down his neck and then to his right shoulder.
Wears t-shirts constantly, loves the sleeveless jacket and fingerless gloves aesthetic. Won’t wear anything that’s not shorts, probably can’t be talked into sandals but is willing to go around barefoot literally whenever, wherever.

Personality notes:


- A really great guy! Friendly, nice, won’t be mean to you without reason.

- A little tactless. Doesn’t entirely understand how his words are going to affect other people, though over the course of everything, he’s become a lot more conscious about that sort of thing

- Extremely compassionate, excels in empathy. Real good at putting himself in someone else’s shoes and understanding their problems

- A decent liar, but bad at improv and reacting to spur-of-the-moment things.

- Pretty reliable, except, when he totally forgets that he promised to do something for you. USUALLY FOR THE BIG THINGS HE GETS IT DONE, but if you asked him to bring a table to this event he’ll probably forget at least once, though he WILL rush to get it done (going “oh SHOOT”) as soon as you remind him
(On this vein, prefers to do things immediately after asked to do them, so he won’t forget about them)

- Would like to give EVERYONE the benefit of the doubt

- Has a strong sense of duty

- FORGETFUL AS HECK!!!! Has ADD, though I’m bad at writing him that way. Has trouble focusing on something things, but can hyperfocus on others. Bad at sitting still for long periods of times.




Other notes:


- Constantly Tired

- Pretty good at reading people??? Not necessarily, like, their motives, but extremely good at sensing when one of his friends is upset, or when, like, anyone is upset lol

- LOVES FAIRYTALES, has a bajillion OCs, writes his own stories and fanfic n stuff

- Fidgets when lying

- Doesn’t eat regularly, or, he hasn’t since the second half of Dead Inside

Misc.


made w/ an anime dollmaker on rinmaru
Likes:
The ocean
Kairi, his friends in general
Helping people
Fairytales
Fantasy in general

Dislikes:
Cold weather
Anyone insulting his friends
Bullies
Maleficent
Darkness / Heartless / Etc

Music taste: has an extremely varied music taste. Has grown up listening to Kairi’s music so you can’t say he doesn’t like it, because, he actually likes it a lot. I’m not sure what to call his favorite genre, but his favorite bands are 30 Seconds to Mars and Bastille, for sure.
He feels a strong emotional attachment to songs with a story in them. probably makes a million character mixes for his favorite games/books/movies, and for his own OCs.
Loves VOCALOIDS??? Rin and Len in particular, because they’re all I personally listen to (LMAO) but while he does eventually spread out his VOCALOID tastes to include anything that’s jamming, for the longest time he likes them largely because of the stories in them and the PVs. Story of Evil, Synchronicity, First Virus Resistance, etc. He knows Paradise of Light and Shadow by heart.

Favorite color: not red

Notable Abilities:


Keyblade wielder, but not much else special. He can’t do light magic or dark magic. He has a pretty good grasp on magic in general but it’s not so stellar it should be in this section.

Extremely empathetic. I mean, he is still Sora.

While all my ideas for heart magic (like, what it even is, concretely) are extremely tentative, I’d say he’s naturally adept at it, though he has noooooooooo sort of clue how to use it, let alone how it works

Fighting Style / Battle Stats:


Extremely well rounded, jack of all trades. Currently a little better at hack and slash (and prefers it a little bit, due to being more comfortable w/ it) but he’s coming along in his magic, as well, and is learning to incorporate magic attacks into his fighting repertoire.

He’s no Keyblade Master, but he’s coming along quite well. Give him a few more months, and he’ll definitely be a force to be reckoned with.

History:


- growing up on Destiny Islands, knowing Kairi since they were literal babies

- playing a lot of play pretend when he was a kid, and, even as he got older, still like??? live RP’d his stories with his friends a lot lol

- while he was friends with Tidus and Wakka, he definitely wasn’t as close to them as Kairi was to Selphie

- meeting Aqua, and getting passed the Keyblade

- Falling to Pieces in general, as in: falling to darkness, working with Maleficent, etc

- being used as a vessel by Ansem

- spending three months in the dark realm. It wasn’t too bad, and he spent most of it just kind of floating / sleeping, but, yanno

- struggling with his darkness thruout Dead Inside, learning to deal with it, overcome it

- fighting his Shadow

- living with Maleficent again??? that sure was rough on him

- his final battle of Dead Inside. Well, okay, not his final final battle, but the really important one against his Shadow. There are a lot of spoiler reasons this affects him, but, it’s a thing. 

Riku





Name: Riku

Age: 16

Height: somewhere around 6 feet. I keep making him shorter

BD: July 9th is the day he celebrates. Who knows when his actual birthday is.

Appearance notes:


Wears vest or tee + jeans combo Constantly. His hair’s short, and he likes it that way because it doesn’t tickle his neck too much and his head’s much lighter. His skin’s paler than it probably should be (at least according to his character icons anyway, WHICH ARE LIKE, SUPER HARD TO CHANGE,,,,), blame the lack of sun for like six straight months and Vexen whitewashing him. Has some decent muscles, pretty lanky. Slouches constantly because he feels like he’s towering over all his loved ones and he hates it.

There’s also a patch of purple on his gut where his dark suit tried to prevent him from bleeding out, and over time he’s developed similar purple patches over the rest of his skin, namely his arms.  (Gets cut in a fight > dark suit tries to fix him > purple spots.) Those will go away if he ever gets his darkness fixed.

Personality notes:


- If he doesn’t know you or doesn’t like you it’s just Constant Rude Zone

- He’s a sarcastic ass??

- Snark central

- He’s so nice to his friends and family though…. he cares about them so much

- Introverted as hell, or, perhaps it’s just he’s not necessarily good at interacting with people. Given the way he was raised, it’s, not really a surprise.

- The most loyal person you will ever meet

- Kind of selfish, but also struggles to know when it’s ok to like?? take up space. Thanks abuse (/sarcasm)

- He’s a soft baby towards the people he cares about he’s just bad at showing affection



Other notes:


- He has super sensitive hearing and it Sucks Mostly

- Major sensory issues, largely due to said super sensitive hearing. If it gets too noisy / too loud he’s not gonna have a fun time.

- Used to be extremely depressed / hate himself a lot, but he’s gotten better!! He’s gotten so much better.

- He can’t sit still, uh, ever. Constantly fidgets. Gets up and paces just to keep himself occupied. He's so antsy.

- If he doesn’t know you and you’re touching him Please Stop

- Panic attacks whenever Lightning

- HIS FAMILY IS SO IMPORTANT!!! He’s gotten so much better since being adopted by the HB gang, by the Gainsborough house. He’s not perfect, but he’s working to get better, and he’s made leaps and bounds in that direction!!

Misc.


Likes:
His family
His friends
Fighting maybe a lil too much
Reading
Peace and quiet, if he can get it. Now that the Rebellion’s over he’d really rather just, Not, have to worry about evils or bad guys or anything. can he please just relax.
Sunrises

Dislikes:
Vexen
Larxene
Being forced to do things
Sitting still
Lightning / Thunder magic

Music taste: synthpop becomes his absolute favorite! Porter Robinson, CHVRCHES, Madeon, Passion Pit. Porter Robinson is definitely his top fave though, with CHVRCHES as a close second. Loves Bastille’s mixtape albums. A pretty good fan of dubstep type stuff in general, isn’t too annoyed by Sora’s VOCALOID music ((ACTUALLY SOME OF IT’S PRETTY GOOD, HE ADMITS)).

Favorite color: sky blue

Notable Abilities:


While he’s not the strongest person in the universe (considering Roxas was built to top him, and Aqua’s always been miles stronger than him) his physical strength / fighting prowess is still nothing to sneeze at

He used to have insane darkness abilities but then they became fatal to him, so like

Super sensitive hearing! it’s more of a curse than a blessing

Fighting Style / Battle Stats:


Riku’s a glass canon!!!!! He’d be the strongest member in your hypothetical rpg party but his defense is kind of awful and he doesn’t know how to cure so he constantly gets KO’d. He’s also cocky as hell and overestimates his abilities in battle, frequently.

Lots of hack-n-slash. Doesn't really know any magic (except dark firaga, but he can't use that anymore.)

His ridiculous strength makes up for his “rush into everything without a plan” most of the time but, one of these days, kid… one of these days.

History:


- months of abuse / suffering in his home universe in Castle Oblivion, thanks to the Organization in general and Larxene in particular.

- had it Really Bad for kh canon / magik’s Namine

- Got to this universe on what was basically a suicide attempt. Agreed to take the second chance at life / have his memories erased. Not remembering was supposed to make his life easier, but it kind of backfired. He remembers at least 9/10ths of what was erased, now.

- He killed FtPverse’s Vexen aka Even, and there’s little he regrets more, seeing as it caused the Rebellion and everything.

- He lead the Replica Rebellion in Dead Inside, though extremely against his will. While he supported the cause, he absolutely hated being there, and Alpha did not make it any easier on him.

- The final battle of Dead Inside. I won’t say what happened because spoilers, but you bet it affected him. (Admittedly, it appears to have affected him a lot less than it affected Namine and Kairi, but maybe he’s just recovered better.)

- being adopted by Aerith!! Being assured by her he can be loved!! Being welcomed into her home, taking her up on that offer, and now living with her and the rest of the HB gang!! This is less history and more “something happened at the literal start of All that Remains” but listen it is extremely important.
