Cloud

Character tag

Name: Cloud

Age: 24

Height: 5’7

BD: Aug 11

Appearance notes:

Spiky blonde hair! Mako blue eyes—a sort of bluish/greenish color. Lanky, probably at least a little underweight. Some decent muscles. Most likely wears his advent children clothes, though maybe minus the arm sleeve (seeing as he doesn’t have any geostigma to hide).

Personality notes:

- Mostly aloof. Doesn’t want strangers in his business, doesn’t want to worry his friends about shit because it’s Not Their Problem in his opinion (I mean, he’s wrong, but)

- Constantly runs away from his problems and his responsibilities

- Not exactly moody broody ((THANK GOD HE AND SQUALL BOTH AREN’T IN THOSE STAGES IN KH)) but like I said!! Aloof. Keeps to himself. Doesn’t like sharing his emotions like ever, and still carries a lot of guilt on his shoulders for a lot of things

- Pretty knowledgeable about darkness / shadows, having dealt personally w/ both

- Always alert to danger, will react in .02 seconds

- Kind of bad w/ social skills? Being the outcast in your hometown does that

- Most jokes go over his head.

- Bad at relaxing with his friends or, at all. Always tense.

Other notes:

- Not a morning person

- At least a little paranoid

- Horrible at cooking all around

- Very VERY rarely actually answers his phone—lets it go to voicemail constantly

- Tries to do everything by himself

- Has an eye for the little details

Misc.

Likes:

Sunlight and warm breezes

Mountains. Climbing mountains. The taste of thin air, the feel of unsteady rocks below your feet and under your hands.

The smell of baking

Kids, though he’s bad at, interacting with them

Dislikes:

His friends getting hurt, to the extent of shutting them out

Being forced to face the consequences of his actions

People who act like everything’s fine when nothing’s fine

Notable Abilities:

A resistance to darkness

Fighting Style / Battle Stats:

Typical FF Protag! Decent balance of magic and physical attacks. Most of his physical attacks are really strong?? Some of that is him, a lot of that is just the size / weight of that sword. Fancy attacks often. Omnislash. A lot of rushing at enemies and cleaving them in two. Uses his magic to make his physical attacks stronger more than he, like, uses it as just magic lol.

History:

- grew up in Nibelhiem on FF7’s world. Was an outcast among all the other kids, Tifa and only Tifa ever, uh, really talked to him. A Real Momma’s Boy

- was a really rash kid and did a lot of really really stupid things???? He grew out of that though ((though he’ll probably think of something seemingly stupid in battle and go. Welp. Sure doesn’t look like I’ve got another choice.))

- At age 16 Cloud leaves home to find his fortune out in the world(s), which is a thing a lot of boys from backwater towns in FF7’s world do? Zack, also did this

- ended up in Olympus, met Zack

- he and Zack traveled together a lot from there on, and also crashed at the Gainsborough house a lot

- ((Cloud missed out on FF8 because he wasn’t there when Rinoa showed up, so he ended up just bunking with Elmyra quite often during the months while Zack and Aerith and Leon were gone. She probably enjoyed the company.))

- when Elmyra dies, Zack stays a lot with Aerith and Leon for support. Cloud stays too, seeing as he a) kind of just goes wherever Zack goes b) also wants to help support his friends

- Zack dies, and Cloud is completely powerless to stop it, too weak to keep Xehanort from doing anything. Sephiroth is born from his guilt.

- though Cloud probably would have benefited from bunking with Aerith and Leon while they all dealt with the grief, this is where Cloud just starts constantly traveling the worlds, never stopping, always moving

- some of this is because he’s afraid of Sephiroth hurting his friends. A lot of this is he’s just running away from his problems and if he’s alone he doesn’t have to think about it.

- Cloud deals with Sephiroth largely solo. Sometimes Tifa is there, but that’s only until Cloud can lose her

- eventually Cloud defeats Sephiroth, but he doesn’t stop traveling once Sephiroth is gone

- since then he’s literally just, constantly been on the move. He never stops, he never stays with his friends for long. Tifa is always one step behind him because he’s avoiding her as much as he is avoiding everything else. He’s mellowed, sure, and maybe he’s confronted some of his fears and guilts by now, but he still can’t make himself stay in one place any more. He can’t stand not being on the move.

- OH!!! Though, I guess since ATR he’s finally stopped avoiding Tifa?? It’s established that they’re traveling together now (though still constantly moving), vs Cloud traveling alone, so I guess that’s a step up

- Cloud helped out Sora a lot in Dead Inside. Traveling with him for a bit, telling him about darkness and shadows and whatever. They aren’t as close as Tifa and Kairi ended up being, but, it is a friendship (of sorts) that exists, and a thing that Cloud did

Tifa

Character tag

Name: Tifa

Age: 23

Height: 5’6

BD: May 3

Appearance notes:

Wears her Advent Children outfit, currently!!! Def prefers the FF7 outfit though imo, but it’s not built quite as sturdily for travel, so that’s why,,, she doesn’t wear it constantly. Her hair is long as heck, and is probably tied up in that dolphin-tail style?? The only reason it wasn’t in KH2 was because it wasn’t in Advent Children, and it wasn’t in advent children because technical difficulties. I MEAN, MAYBE IT’S HARD TO TRAVEL ON THE ROAD W/ HAIR THAT LONG, but it’d only be slightly longer than it already is?? SO DOLPHIN-TAIL STYLE HAIR IMO. Red eyes.

Personality notes:

- Blunt, often rude. Opinionated and tactless.

- Will tell people she thinks what their feeling / thinking is stupid without, even, like, blinking. She’s ruthless. (and, it’s not, necessarily, a good thing)

- She’s got a big heart, she just, goes about helping in a really brash way a lot of the time. Sometimes it works, sometimes hurts more than it helps. Oh well.

- Likes to get to the point as quickly as possible

- Doesn’t see any sense in beating around the bush?? Let’s just get on with it. I don’t care if they’ll take it better if we preface it with sweettalk, pain is a part of life, let’s just tell them and get it over with

- She’s not incapable of being gentle, but often finds it a waste of time. Being rough and blunt is kind of just her default

Other notes:

- She and Aerith bump heads a lot, because they have different personalities and vastly different views on how to tackle things (especially re: helping people)

- Her heart is EXTREMELY full of light. It’s not pure light, but it’s well well WELL up there

- She can sense light/darkness levels in hearts. ((Most people with a heart of strong light have some sort of feel for where darkness is, regardless, though))

- Gets super focused on things and doesn’t let anyone else’s problems distract her

- REALLY REALLY STRONG, the buffest, can casually lift furniture by herself without breaking a sweat. Could probably crush a man’s head between her thighs.

- She cares a lot about her hair!!! You don’t have hair that long and, um, not take care of it yanno?

Misc.

Likes:

Chocolate

The feel of your fist connecting with someone’s jaw

Sturdy shoes

Piano!! She’s awful at playing it but she loves the sound of it

Dislikes:

Being slowed down

Dealing with Cloud’s BS

Heat

When people pop their knuckles it’s the worst sound in her opinion

Notable Abilities:

Martial arts training

A really strong heart

Capable of light attacks/magic, though none quite as strong as Ven or Kairi could produce

Fighting Style / Battle Stats:

Lots of punches and kicks and hand to hand combat in general. Tends to drop in magic between punches to trip an enemy up. Not opposed to fighting dirty. Lots of throwing people / things across the room.

History:

- lived in Nibelhiem in ff7’s world. Was childhood friends with Cloud.

- was trained in martial arts as she grew up

- wanted to leave around the same time Cloud did, but her dad wouldn’t let her. She finally did leave once she was older and didn’t have to listen to what he told her (the prequel timeline says she was 17 which seems weird for her being that vs 18 but Whatever)

- she ran into Aerith and became a friend of the Gainsboroughs, managed to catch Cloud a couple of times, probably a lot of times ((I mean, considering he wasn’t avoiding her at the time,))

- Elmyra dies, and Tifa is as devastated as the rest of them. She visits a lot to make sure Aerith and Leon are doing ok

- Zack dies, and Tifa begins trying to hunt Cloud down to get him to face his feelings and stop bottling up his guilt. ((She’d love to help Aerith and Leon, but, someone’s gotta help Cloud))

- She tails Cloud for years, though he avoids her. She helps with Sephiroth.

- THERE’S A POINT WHERE RINOA JOINS TIFA IN HUNTING DOWN CLOUD FOR A BIT LOL

- After Sephiroth is dead, Tifa alternates between hanging out with the HB gang and trying to track Cloud down, because he still Won’t Stop Moving.

- she helped a lot in Dead Inside! She and Kairi traveled together for a while, and it was great. She’s not the best role model Kairi could have, but, their relationship is really important, okay

- as of ATR, she and Cloud are traveling together!! Nice.

Cid

Character tag

Name: Cid

Age: Somewhere in his 40s

Height: 5’10

BD: Feb 22

Appearance notes:

Where do I even begin????? Kind of a big guy, tallest of the HB gang (minus Riku) but just by a few inches. Blonde hair. Stubbly beard. Whatever the heck that outfit is in kh. Wears goggles on his head but they are mostly a fashion choice.

Personality notes:

- Kind of default cranky, but maybe that’s just because he doesn’t get enough sleep?

- What is an inside voice

- Weird Uncle type

- Cares a lot for his family, looks out for ppl he feels responsible for (so, his family + kids in general), though usually in a more I CAN’T BELIEVE YOU’RE DOING THIS BUT IF SOMEOEN DOESN’T KEEP AN EYE ON YOU IT’S GONNA GO BAD SO HERE I AM

Other notes:

- Loves his machines

- Insomniac

- Swears a lot because Come On It’s Cid And That’s His Stereotype Thing

- While he was probably a smoker earlier in life, having to look after kids ((even if in FtPverse Aerith/Leon were Not Kids Anymore when RG fell)) made him drop the habit quick. The toothpick / twig / whatever he chews on is to keep his mouth occupied to help keep the habit broken

Misc.

Likes:

Working with machines

Coffee

Space

Gummi ships

Dislikes:

The fact humans need sleep to function

Backtalk

Being constantly left out of the loop

Notable Abilities:

Machinery skills

Fighting Style / Battle Stats:

For the most part, due to his old age, he plops himself down at a central point with one of his canons and just, fires it into the fray / at all heartless that are approaching. He has Dragoon skills (so, spear) but it gets harder to do them as he gets older.

History:

- I literally don’t have anything important like, thought of about Cid before RG’s fall, or much at all? But:

- probably dropped out of high school, started working on machines and gummi ships and learned what to do w/ them just through practice

- started visiting Elmyra often, I think I’ve said because of “chronic back pain” (though that's only a lil bit canon, I may change it in the future), and then he gets roped into making soup for her like once a week, so he’s a family friend of the Gainsboroughs before RG falls

- ((Idk how Shera comes into play, but probably: like in magik’s canon, she lives in Disney Town? Idk when Cid met her but maybe he traveled the worlds in a gummi ship at some point? I mean, why build a gummi ship if you don’t, uh, yanno))

- Elmyra passes away, Cid looks after Aerith and Leon, kind of ((he drops by to make sure they’re ok every now and then))

- RG falls, Cid provides an escape ship

- he manages to land a job in Traverse Town pretty quickly, so he pays for most of the essentials they all need

- he helps out in Falling to Pieces and Dead Inside and he’s, uh, been around in ATR though we haven’t seen him that much??? Sweats………

Yuffie

Character tag

Name: Yuffie

Age: 17

Height: 5’3

BD: Nov 20

Appearance notes:

Slouches a lot bc she’s lazy and Classic Teenager. Short black hair. Because Wutai in FF7 was specifically based of Japan, she, well, looks Japanese! Likes tank-tops + shorts. Would never wear a skirt or anything remotely fancy.

Personality notes:

- Typical whiney teenager. Complains a lot.

- Tries to act tougher than she really is but she’s also?? Well, 17 isn’t a kid, but it’s still… not an adult. She’s still young.

- Not so good at trusting (especially people she doesn’t know well)

- Not very good with manners!!! Being an orphan living on the streets for the first like, twelve years of your life will do that??

- Tries her best to be supportive, even though she’s not terribly good at it!!!

- Cracks rude jokes a lot

- Doesn’t know when to be quiet

- MEANS WELL, USUALLY!!!! She’s not good with people or interacting w/ anyone who’s not Aerith or Leon or Cid but she’s trying!!!!!

- Hard to get to know ((doesn’t open up quickly to new people)) but usually a lot of fun when do get to know her!!

- Kind of the “I don’t know how to people well nor am I good at saying things that aren’t mean but hey I really like you and want to support you because your family” older sister?? At least re: Riku.  I guess she’d be that but younger sister to Aerith/Leon ((Cid is more of the weird uncle))

Other notes:

- Will steal your things ((though she USUALLY gives them back later))

- Really into / good at video games!!! Especially like, original Super Mario Bros.

- Clingy???

- Will she and Cid ever agree on something? Unlikely

- Always more comfortable in a situation if she has something to do with her hands (like, play with a tennis ball)

- Like Riku, she’s kind of?? Constantly amazed about her family, about having a family. She doesn’t cry often, but she’ll always cry when anything re: family comes up because it’s a really nice feeling to feel like you belong somewhere

Misc.

Likes:

Video games

Improving her thief skills

Munny

Her family? Belonging to a family??

JUNK FOOD

Dislikes:

The fact that Riku can always catch her when she tries to steal from him

When someone picks up the munny from fighting heartless before she can

Being told off

Ppl assuming she’s no good at something

Notable Abilities:

Thief / sneaking skills, but, that’s it

Fighting Style / Battle Stats:

Has her shuriken! Largely just fights with that, so, ranged attacks. Knows some basic magic but doesn’t use it that often.

History:

- at some young age, her parents died in an accident and she was put in an orphanage

- at age 6 or 7, she ran from the orphanage and started living on the streets, instead

- ((she does not remember what happened to her parents, or much about them. Some of this is just she was too young, some of this is trauma related))

- at age 12, when Radiant Garden fell, Aerith and Leon and Cid ran into her and insisted she come with them to Traverse Town

- despite swearing she was only coming w/ them for the escape ship, she ended up not leaving, like, ever? It was nice having a bed. And being fed regularly. AND IT WASN’T LIKE AERITH AND LEON WERE GOING TO KICK HER OUT, EVEN IF CID PROBABLY AT ONE POINT SAID SHE WAS MORE TROUBLE THAN SHE WAS WORTH

- being adopted into the HB fam? It was gradual thing more than it was for Riku but over time it went from “I just live in their house” to “we’re family, I guess????”

Leon

Character Tag || Gallery

Name: Leon

Age: 25

Height: 5’9

BD: Aug 23

Appearance notes:

Won’t Stop Wearing That Jacket. Brown hair, blue eyes, honestly even though he and Aerith aren’t related by blood you might not have been able to tell? Has a scar across the bridge of his nose. Likes leather and belts mb too much.

Personality notes:

- Quiet and keeps to himself a lot, extremely an introvert.

- Smiles more than would in FF8 though (which is KH canon, as well) and is Better with his emotions

- The other mom friend

- Keeps a level head in almost all scenarios, though when his family’s threatened he kind of,,, forgets,,,

- Like Aerith, was raised to Be Polite Be Nice Be Helpful

- Gentle, compassionate, A Gainsborough Through And Through

Other notes:

- Leon is adopted siblings with Aerith! Like FF8 canon, his father (Laguna) left an unknowingly-pregnant Raine (Leon’s mother) behind while he went to take care of business w/ Adel. Raine died before Leon was even a year old, and he was adopted by Elmyra (who was a good friend of Raine’s)

- Has not gone by the name Squall for around five years now

- HE’S VERY TOUCHY RE: LAGUNA ((WHICH IS,,, FAIR))

- He was raised by a Healer Mother, so he knows the ins and outs of healing that are more complicated than “cast cure and let it do its job”—he’s not as good as Aerith, but he’s still probably second best out of the FtPcast as a whole

Misc.

Dislikes:

Heartless, Xehanort, Maleficent, Etc

Laguna

Being put on the spot

BEING TEASED (LEAVE HIM BE, AERITH)

Notable Abilities:

Second best healer, behind Aerith

Though he never gets Feelings quite the same way Aerith does, he has been known to get some significantly weaker ones re: his family. That might just be one of those sibling telepathy things, though?

Fighting Style / Battle Stats:

Well balanced between physical and magic!!!! I mean, he is a FF character and an RPG protagonist. Nothing outstanding here. Learned through practice on his own time (with maybe some training, but nothing as intensive as SeeD training would have been). If Aerith’s busy, then he can play healer.

History:

- growing up with Aerith, and in RG in general! Being raised by a healer mother—learning healing, even though he didn’t get quite as deep into it as Aerith did (he was slightly less interested and it wasn’t like Elmyra was going to force him to learn more than the basics)

- Aerith skipped school, Leon always brought home her work from the day and helped her through classes!!!! I get a feel thinkin about that

- Helped with the events of FF8 as they happened in FtPverse, of course!! Aerith and Zack were also there. Outside of some insane friendship bonding w/ Aerith and Zack and Rinoa (and Quistis and Zell, technically) nothing major happened wAIT HE MET LAGUNA DURING THIS TIME AND BOY WAS THAT NOT FUN FOR HIM……

- being close friends with Zack!!! We tend to take the easy route and think it was only Aerith who was close to him (ok, and Cloud) but everyone (except Yuffie who wasn’t around yet) was really close to Zack??? BETWEEN FF8 AND ZACK JUST BEING CONSTANTLY OVER they were really really really good friends, I’ll cry

- losing his mother

- losing Zack, a year later

- losing Radiant Garden….. just months after that…..

- living in Traverse Town. His funk was as much I just lost everything as Aerith’s but his had a bonus of feeling like he’d let down everyone who’d ever relied on him. He changed his name because he was real tired of being Squall the screw-up

- helping out Riku and Namine through Falling to Pieces

- moving back to HB, rebuilding HB, Dead Inside as a whole. Leon is the sort of head of the restoration committee, so he handles most of the rebuilding as well as organizing

- ADOPTING RIKU ((AND, NAMINE,,,))

Aerith

Character tag || Gallery

Name: Aerith

Age: 26

Height: 5’4

BD: Jan 12

Appearance notes:

Usually wears skirts / dresses / pink (provided it’s practical, of course!) Continuously wears the pink bow Zack gave her, every day, every day, every day. Technically her hair is short now but lmao if I ever remember to address that 

Personality notes:

- She’s so nice to everyone???

- She’s notoriously stubborn though

- The mom friend

- She was raised to be Polite and does that so hard

- I missed a lot of like Canon Aerith properties, one of them being she teases so bad?? at least those close to her. Leon hates to be in a room with her and Rinoa at the same time because they are Relentless

- Constantly prefers to trust / forgive / give people the benefit of the doubt

- Gentle

- Actually a really private person??? She shares things with her family (most of the time) but she very often goes “it’s not important” to things, even sometimes w/ her family (W/ LEON!!!) because she just doesn’t feel like there’s a reason to bother them with it

Other notes:

- Adopted siblings w/ Leon! Aerith was brought to Elmyra by a dying woman and, after the woman’s death, was taken in. Unlike FF7, this happened when Aerith was a Literal Baby, and not like six years old. Nothing is known about Aerith’s blood mother.

- Being raised by a healer mom, she was taught by the best! Go-to healer, like, all the time (which is fair, she is the best healer out of the entire ftpcast)

- Adopts everyone

- Though she’s finally starting to stop holding onto her grief re: Zack, he still is a major sore spot for her (of course)

- Kind of bad at responding to horrible things?? You’d expect her to be immediately compassionate but there is a few seconds where she just kind of goes Blank because she can’t even comprehend that such terrible things exist in this world (see: her reaction to Larxene)

- SHE’S PROBABLY ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE WHO GETS REALLY NOSTALGIC OVER THE SLIGHTEST OF THINGS

- Aerith actually has three staffs! Her beginner staff, which she's held onto for sentimental reasons (but isn't great so she rarely uses), a staff Zack hand-carved for her (which is irreplaceable, so she doesn't use), and then her actual staff! Her actual one is made of metal and is overall better at conducting magic, which is largely why it's the one she always uses.

Her brother, Leon

Her family, in general (because of course)

Pretty things!!!

Dislikes:

Rude people

Xehanort

The darkness in general

Not being trusted, esp by those close to her

Notable Abilities:

She gets Feelings about things, usually re: when friends/family are in danger, but, other things too

Her healing abilities, in general. Like I said, she’s the best healer of the FtPcast, along with the best healer in Hollow Bastion

Fighting Style / Battle Stats:

Aerith knows a loooooot of magic in general, both offensive and defensive, but she usually just focuses on support magic! Especially if she’s fighting w/ a large group, because everyone else will have the fighting covered, and someone has to make sure everyone stays alive.

She’s also probably someone who does buffs/debuffs? Since that goes along w/ the supportive magic role. Stop/poison/confusion for enemies, haste/protect/heal for her party members

Of course, if she’s on her own or in a group of two to three people total, then she knows plenty of offensive magic to hold her own and also kick enemy butt.

History:

- growing up with Leon as her brother, being raised together with him, thinking of him as a brother since the beginning, of course!

- being raised by a healer mother—learning healing, constantly helping people, having Be Polite Be Nice Be Helpful ground into her bones

art by yourhandiheld!

- she skipped school a lot when she was older (like, young teen age) to help her mom w/ healing, along with learn the ropes of healing a lot better!

- Aerith, along with Leon and Zack, helped Rinoa deal with a sorceress problem, and participate in the events of ff8 in general! Outside of some Insane Friendship Bonding I don’t think anything major happened to Aerith herself

- dating Zack for plenty of years!

- losing her mother

- losing Zack a year later

- losing….. Radiant Garden….. just months after Zack

- living in Traverse Town!!! She spent a lot of Traverse Town in a funk ((losing so much in such a short time will do that to you)) though she did eventually work through it

- adopting Yuffie into the HB fam

- helping out Riku and Namine through Falling to Pieces

- moving back to HB, rebuilding HB, Dead Inside as a whole

- ADOPTING RIKU ((AND, NAMINE,,,))

- starting up the infirmary / healing business again

- [gestures in ATR’s direction because she’s played a pretty large role in all of it]

Xion

Theme || Playlist || Character tag || Gallery

Name: Xion

Age: 14

Height: 5’5

BD: created on October 16th

Appearance notes:

Literally if you took Sora and Kairi and mashed them together you’d get Xion. Sora’s dark skin and dark hair, Kairi’s face and Kairi’s eyes. She inherited being short from Sora. ALSO SHE HAS FRECKLES…!!!!!!!

Personality notes:

- I’ve described her in the past as having the worst parts of Kairi and the best parts of Sora. It’s not, exactly, wrong??? ((though she’d have probably some of Sora’s worst traits and some of Kairi’s best, as well))

- Granted, Xion isn’t living in the best circumstances throughout Nothing’s Fair, so she’s not really performing at her best, either?

- Snippy a lot. Holds grudges. Extremely judgmental.

- Frustrated easily??

- She tries her best but in her conditions it’s hard to be things that aren’t negative (at least, without some amazing strength / support)

- Constantly paranoid

Other notes:

- Xion is intersex, actually! Being a Replica and considering the conditions she was built in (a haphazard mix of Sora and Kairi data) she ended up with biology that is neither entirely male nor female, though she identifies as female.

- Suffered a data instability that was slowly killing her, as well as being extremely detrimental to her mental state

- Had more friends than she’d actually, probably, admit to??

- Really really enjoyed being able to use her Keyblade!

Misc. 

Likes:

Going on missions w/ Roxas

Roxas

She was fond of 7

Her Keyblade

Dislikes:

Riku

Saix

Being bored out of her mind

Feeling useless

Notable Abilities:

None, other than being able to wield a Keyblade!

Fighting Style / Battle Stats:

Think: A Weaker Sora. She’s balanced alright (and has to learn magic when her Keyblade fails her) but she’s not any more powerful than Sora was during FtP, and fighting when you have failing data is Hard.

History:

- being created, then smuggled under the radar by 7 (with help from R)

- generally being bored and living in fear until Roxas came along

- befriending Roxas, befriending Axel—going on missions with them sometimes

- her data failing, In General

- living in hiding, unwilling to join either the Organization or the Rebellion

- living with progressively bad memory

- that one time where she ended up in Kairi’s house

- THE,,, ENDING,,,, of Nothing’s Fair,,,, ((wait does that count as HISTORY????))

Joseph

 

Theme || Playlist || Character tag || Gallery

Name: Joseph

Age: 12 and a half

Height: I dunno? Like, 4 feet ish, though he hasn’t stopped growing yet

BD: Dec 6

Appearance notes:

Smol Friend, though when he gets older he’s gonna start shooting up real tall. He’ll probably get taller than sora, though not taller than Riku. A real fan of jackets + cargo pants because Pockets. Default fashion is cargo pants + tshirt + jacket w/ rolled up sleeves overtop. Probably has more than one jacket so he’s not getting his gross and sweaty every day. His hair is black, and if he lets it get long enough in front he’ll start looking like Baby Zexion whether he wants to or not. I’ve talked about him growing his hair out in the back tho and wearing it in a lil ponytail bc I thought it was cute, but who knows if that’ll come up before ATR ends lol. Scrawny.

Personality notes:

- Constantly upbeat!!! Bounces around a lot. Loud.

- Easily excitable. Likes being dramatic.

- Smiles all around

- He’s a kid, though—still, technically, a kid!—and he pouts like a kid he acts like a kid

- Kind of, passionate about everything he ever encounters, everything he ever cares about he just throws it into 100%. Excited to do something? 100% EXCITEMENT. Mad because Sora left w/o saying goodbye?? WON’T SHUT UP ABOUT IT!!!!

- Likes practical jokes and teasing. Honorary little brother to, like, everyone.

- Really smart??

- YOU EITHER THINK HE’S SWEET OR YOU THINK HE’S OBNOXIOUS THERE IS NO INBETWEEN, THAT’S A 12 YEAR OLD FOR YOU!!!

Other notes:

- A Replica, but he’s what everyone calls an Experiment—FtP Vexen created him from data borrowed from more than one person (Zexion for sure, a little Xaldin, and who knows what else)

- While he’s Coping, he does carry the weight of being the only surviving Experiment on his shoulders still. Knowing all your friends are dead is kind of awful.

- Insanely lucky? It’s unfair

- Doesn’t know when to shut up

Dislikes:

Getting caught in the middle of one of his schemes

Chores

Music taste: bubbly music!!! Imagine Dragons, Owl City, Passion Pit. And, um, some Barenaked Ladies songs. Someone (29) is put off by the band name, but if Pinch Me is NOT epitome Joseph music aesthetic idk what is. Also, twelve year old music?? Relient k probably. Sonic music for sure, along with any other video game music w/ vocal tracks. The pokemon theme song. Video game parody songs. The like.

Favorite color: steel blue, because, gotta love that twelve year old aesthetic (if he ever makes his own website it's just steel blue and black and no other colors)

Notable Abilities:

He’s real good at being a distraction

He’s a great liar. Between Zexion’s illusion powers and Xaldin’s silver tongue, Joseph can come up with an elaborate cover story for any failed prank on the spot. Only people who know him well (29) will really catch onto when he’s making stuff up.

(It remains to be seen whether or not he has illusion powers of his own.)

Fighting Style / Battle Stats:

Though his only claim to fighting fame in Dead Inside was swinging around a wooden sword like it was going to do something, come ATR he’s fashioned a boomerang-shield hybrid for himself!! He’s still, uh, learning the ropes. He can manage small Heartless on his own but that’s about it.

Also he knows some Blizzard magic, because, (glances at 29) of course.

History:

- being real close friends with Raymond and Patrick, the only other experiments his age

- GETTING INTO A LOT OF TROUBLE WITH THEM BC PRANKS

now there's a boy i can get behind

- GENERALLY BEING A NUISANCE TO, LIKE, EVERYONE???? While certainly having a bunch of whining 8-year-olds around can’t have been fun for the Organization, it may have been the terrible trio that really caused Saix to start hating the experiments so much

- he was friends with Xion, in Nothing’s Fair! And Roxas, a little bit

- losing Raymond and Patrick and all his friends (including: Roxas and Xion)

- looking up to Riku / clinging to Riku because Riku’s like the only one his age around here now that everyone is gone I need friends please

- HE WAS PRETTY CLOSE TO NAMINE TOO!!

- kind of helping out in his own way throughout the entirety of Dead Inside, with various things???

- as of ATR, he and 29 have moved into Hollow Bastion!!! Other than occasionally help out with Heartless, they haven’t really done much, though Joseph’s probably dropped by the Gainsborough house and been his usual self from time to time

 

here's a brand new full body ref, also

 

 

Mickey

Character Tag

Name: Mickey Mouse

Age: he’s immortal, probably ((OR HAS A VERY VERY VERY EXTENDED LIFESPAN AND IDK WHAT THAT TRANSLATES TO IN HUMAN YEARS))

Height: like, 3 feet

BD: Nov 18

Appearance notes:

I. do I even need this. He’s Mickey Mouse. Big round ears, technically has a tail even though I always feel weird bringing it up. Small. KH fashion choices. Yanno. ((For the record, he uses Starseeker, and not the Kingdom Key D, throughout FtPverse!))

Personality notes:

- THE BIGGEST WORRYWORT YOU WILL EVER MEET!!!!!!!!!! Kingly duties? Paperwork? His friends? Does Minnie miss him??? Is Xehanort going to destroy everything?? DID HE ACCIDENTALLY FORGET TO SIGN THOSE PAPERS MINNIE GAVE HIM AGAIN??? Yes, he did. This is why Minnie runs the kingdom.

- Anyway I guess that got on a tangent but: he’s a big fat worrywart!!!! HE ALWAYS WORRIES!!!!!

- Super chill and nice!!!! Always a pleasure to be around (I mean, provided, you aren’t evil??).

- Kind of the dad friend?? ((not the mom friend who takes care of you but a guy, the dad friend in which he gives you rides home and tries to give you advice but isn’t, um, good at that?? At least he doesn’t make dad jokes))

- Feels strongly about Keyblade Master Duty, though sometimes his compassion gets the better of him (which, is a good thing, usually)

- Has very strict views re: darkness

- Kind, compassionate, great! WOULD NEVER DO EVIL!!

- Has ADD!! Super forgetful, has trouble focusing on certain things, hyperfocuses on others. Fidgety.

Other notes:

- A reckless driver (THIS IS CANON???)

- Would probably forget his keyblade if he couldn’t just summon it to him

- Carried a lot of guilt re: letting Aqua/Ven/Terra down. He feels significantly better now that Aqua and Ven are back, but, still

- Doesn’t understand a lot of things and is perpetually Confused ((well, ok, Sora in general in Ftpverse has thrown him (and Yen Sid both) for a loop))

- He married into royalty, and was not born royalty ((Minnie was born royalty, especially if you consider Three Musketeers))

Misc.

Likes:

Meeting new friends!!

His beautiful wife

Traveling the worlds

Being able to help out!

Dislikes:

Being called “your majesty” ESPECIALLY by his friends (Donald and Goofy you both have known me for like fifty+ years you don’t have to??????)

Paperwork

Being forced to stay in one spot for long periods of time

Heartless ofc

Villains who Just Won’t Quit (coughs) malficent (coughity)

Notable Abilities:

Keyblade Master!!! The only active Keyblade Master in FtPverse that isn’t Aqua or Xehanort

SOME SICK ACROBATIC SKILLS??

Very strong light magic! A decent healer.

Less in the “I know a lot of things about healing” sense more in the “I could pump a really really REALLY strong curaga into you and you’d turn out fine”—kinda like Aqua except Aqua could cast twenty of those in a row

Fighting Style / Battle Stats:

Faster than he is strong, at least, physically. Not exactly like Ven though? Uses his size to his advantage. Does a lot of flips and sick acrobatics. ANYONE WHO’S PLAYD KH2 (OR I GUESS MISSION MODE IN DAYS) IS P FAMILIAR WITH MICKEY’S FLIPPY FIGHTING STYLE.

Does a lot of small damage quickly so that it adds up.

Can cast strong magic spells, especially of the light-oriented sort! Can do straight up light magic, as well. His light magic sure is something to be reckoned with, because it’s super powerful and, unlike Ven, he’s well practiced when it comes to using it!

History:

- I incorporate like, every Disney media w/ him into it into my canon? I JUST, ASSUME HE’S BEEN ALIVE SO LONG THAT HE’S DONE ALL THESE THINGS AT SOME POINT AND THEN HE SETTLED DOWN TO BECOME KING OR W/E

House of mouse is one that in particular sticks out to me, but then again like, worldbuilding wise it doesn’t make much sense?? Drat

Also Epic Mickey….!!!! IS ONE THAT, probably hasn’t happened. Maybe. I mean maybe it has and we just never will meet Oswald and that’s Fine he’s got important things to do and places to run anyway

- I’d like to think since Yen Sid and Eraqus knew each other that he visited Land of Departure a lot and met up with Aqua and Terra (and later, Ven) before BBS!!!! Apprentices meeting apprentices and whatnot. SO THEY WERE FRIENDS/KIND OF FAMILY BEFORE BBS HAPPENED

- BBS, happened,,,,,

- Mickey didn’t do much other than Help throughout BBS, and he really!!! HE FEELS BAD HE COULDN’T DO BETTER!!!! He feels bad because he couldn’t save his friends. ((also take this tweet I made for Extra Ouch: yen sid said aqua and ven just needed a light to guide them home—so why wasn’t his strong enough!?))

- while he probably didn’t spend too much time searching for Ven and Aqua, he probably spent some time during the in between years dealing with Xehanort! If at the least: Gathering Info

- like KH canon, he spent FtP, the book, trying to find a way to deal w/ Ansem in the bg. However, since Riku took care of Ansem, he sent Donald/Goofy home and shifted his own attention to the Organization

- kind of background helped with the Organization, like he did in kh2

- HELPED SORA OUT A LOT IN DEAD INSIDE!!! Is becoming good friends w/ Sora

- fought Sora’s Shadow that one time

- helped defeat Xemnas
