TRACES OF CHAOS [sign-up/ooc thread]

[Takushi Rena]

@Skitty Cat: Okies! :D I'll take a look at his template, too, once you're done, but I actually went ahead and accepted him before xD; But, still, it looks fine so far!

[Zangetsu.]

"Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll definitely be there."

Name: Tessa
Age: 19
Gender: Female
Side: Whatever is best for the Embodiment
Element: Pure
Rank: I

Weapon: On a whim, several blades are summoned at the aid of Tessa constructed purely out of energy. Their celestial vivacity relays the fact that the blades are forged with the element of light intact. The miscellaneous set of blades can range anywhere from one to ten. Each blade is set in motion by the consciousness of Tessa and as fast as her mind moves, so does each of her weapons.

The swords also abide by the properties of light. Being able to ‘bend’ in a sense to the point where the blades in motion take the appearance of a quick flash. For some, being able to regulate such weapons by a series of thoughts is difficult to say the least. Through the integration of weather conditions (the highest intensity of light), each blade becomes longer and its cutting power increases tenfold.

Appearance: Tessa’s complexion is a fair one in that there seem to be no signs of bruises, lesions, tattoos or burns. A tad more pale than in comparison with her counterparts however. At a relatively below average height at 5’4, Tessa makes up for her lack of height with an exceptional body composition. Structured as if she were born from a test tube, from her peach shaped face to the sharp, ruby eyes, the youth understands and uses her appearance to her advantage. Although being only nineteen, some might shy away at the notion if she were to open her mouth due to the fact that her appearance does not reflect her age at all. A natural brunette, Tessa’s banes are brushed to the left while her actual locks are draped just along her shoulder blades.

Tessa’s attire does not replicate the notion that she belongs to the group known as The Embodiement. In fact, just judging by first impression, that would be the last thing they would consider. A very basic white tank top begins her outfit adorned with a tight, navy blazer resting on the outer layer. The blazer is never buttoned yet the cuffs are held together by gold buttons. Extending from those cuffs are gentle hands whose fingernails are painted a dim charcoal.

Her legs are covered by a pair of leather pants held up by a series of three belts all of which whose meeting points are the head of a lion. The pants stretch down into a pair of black knee high boots which are laced very intricately and buckle on the ankle and shin. As far as accessories go, Tessa does not usually wear much outside of earrings: two in the cartilage and lobe of her left, and four in the cartilage and two in the lobe of her right.

Personality: Confident, assertive and buoyant. Tessa’s characteristics mirror that of an excellent leader. The lower ranking members of the Embodiment look up to her as a role model and while she basks in the glory, a humble voice resonates with her soul. On first hand, most might not consider Tessa a member of the Embodiment due to the fact that she is never uptight. Much down to earth like most of those outside of the group, Tessa still has the maturity of a teenager; fun at most times but when business calls for attention, all jokes are thrown aside.

Being the leading member of The Embodiment, Tessa does not necessarily look at it that way. In the eyes of Tessa, rank does not qualify as an excuse to be of lower strength and intelligence. Be that as it may, the youth of the Embodiment does not fall at condescending tones given her age.

Bio: A Radiant Garden native, Tessa’s ‘whole’ self was always one of the curious types to wonder what existed beyond the sky of her own world. And though she may be a dreamer, she is not the only one. Being a part of a circle that consisted of herself and three others, she often thought to herself what it would be like to visit new worlds, seeing new people and making new friends. Despite that dream, the rest of the group did not share the passion, only wanting to continue life as is. But that’s just so boring, right? She would not give up.

Years passed watching Radiant Garden slip into darkness and running itself into the depths with the ever growing number of Heartless. Soon their numbers would be overwhelming and taking a peaceful stroll outside in the open would eventually be something of a fable. If anything, Tessa wanted nothing more than to get off of the wretched world. Fast. As a result of her undying ambition, the teen tried to forge the means to depart but to no avail. Before she could even start the project, swarms of Heartless singled in on her thus drowning her heart into nothing, consequently being born a Nobody.

The transition did not seem all too different except that she could not -feel- anything. A strange, strange feeling to say the least. As if nothing could feel that void in her chest. Not knowing anything about her current existence (or lack thereof), Tessa set out to find answers. Though those questions would be answered by none other than a fellow Nobody by the name Xemnas, he told her things that anyone outside of her mind would deem as impossible. The leader of the Organization had a resolve to the situation that Tessa did not exactly agree with. There were holes in his plot and as a result, she declined the recruitment offer of being the XIVth member. In effort Tessa would formulate her own group to regain the hearts they once lost through other means.

Thus the formation of The XIIIth Embodiment.

[Skitty Cat]

On second thought, never mind; he's template's done. All I did was add in a couple of links for the themes. I couldn't do that with the appearance, which I kind of wanted to do.

[Takushi Rena]

@Sean: accepted! :D yayyyy thank you for joining as the embodiment leader, too! (Also, for the "side" part, it can be whatever. The Embodiment was pretty neutral, but leaned towards good or bad depending on the character. There's so specific side for the Embodiment, especially in this RP, so any side works.)

@Skitty Cat: Actually, if you want, you can definitely post up a picture of him. There's nothing saying you can't do that, though I know the template says to include a description with the picture. If you want, go ahead and post it up! Otherwise, he's accepted! :)

[Skitty Cat]

I tried to post two different pictures and I got a white page both times, and considering of the last few times I'd rather not, might give it another try when I get home. :)

Thanks Rena, can I clear another type enemy with you though? Or maybe enemy isn't the right word, it depends on your take of them. :)

[Key Wielder]

I'm thinking of joining in, but I have a quick question: is BBS still in play with this canon, given that it happened long before Sora, Riku, and Mickey would have disappeared? I was considering putting in a template for Aqua, given that she could still be chilling in the RoD, but I will do a different character if BBS doesn't count. :)

[Takushi Rena]

@Skitty Cat: Ohhh, okies! That makes sense now xD I thought it was because of the rules, sorries! ;; But, even if you can add it, it's cool :D And, for the enemy, that would be cool, so go for it!

@Key Wielder: The first two RPs were made before BbS came out, but it definitely comes into canon in this one. xD So, if you want, go for it! It would really be cool to see Aqua in this one. :D

[Skitty Cat]

Okay, and it's no problem. I got it uploaded in a different fashion, but at least it's up. :) I'll send you the details on the new group when I get more figured out, 'kay? :)

[Takushi Rena]

Yayyyy, glad it worked! And okies, just message me whenever you're done! :D

“Whatever tomorrow brings, I’ll be there.”

Name: Aqua
Age: 20
Gender: Female
Side: Good
Heart: Light

Weapon: Rainfell

Appearance: Blue-haired and violet-eyed, Aqua’s appearance sets her apart. She is slender with muscles from her years of training, not to mention the time she has spent fending off Heartless in the Realm of Darkness. Her dark shirt leaves her back exposed, but comes up around her neck in the front. She wears shorts and leggings, form-fitting attire that allows her a free range of motion during battle. Her sleeves hang from just above her elbows down around her gloved hands, but the sleeves themselves are not as impressive as the device they contain. One press of the button on her sleeve and Aqua’s outfit becomes a suit of armor, protecting her from the darkness should the need arise. A pink belt runs in an x-pattern across her front, completed with the symbol of her master, her training, her home.

Personality: Cool and calculating, Aqua is difficult to read. She hides her emotions well and is thus able to make difficult decisions seem much simpler. Yet while her thoughts are not always apparent on her face, they are constantly whirling around inside her head. Aqua doesn’t plan her moves in advance, instead reacting to what is going on around her instinctively—following her heart. Kind, caring, passionate—these are the words her friends would use to describe Aqua, yet her resolve is what stands out the most in her personality. While prone to onslaughts of frustration, anger, sadness, and confusion, Aqua is still driven toward her ultimate goals by the one thing that can keep her going: her friends. Regardless of the consequences for herself, Aqua will do anything if it means her friends’ safety.

Bio: Aqua trained in the Land of Departure under Master Eraqus, a fatherly figure who instilled in her a deep belief that darkness in any form was evil and not to be taken lightly. Never questioning this idea, Aqua and her friend Terra learned the ways of light, the ways of the Keyblade, and worked tirelessly to earn the right to prove they had the Mark of Mastery. Well before their training was complete, a new pupil arrived, a sickly boy who was to be left in their master’s care and train with them in the ways of the Keyblade. Together with Terra, Aqua befriended the boy and began to help him heal, a long and difficult process. The three soon became fast friends and, the night before Aqua and Terra were to take the Mark of Mastery exam, Aqua shared with her friends an unbreakable connection: Wayfinders. Although the trinkets were purely symbolic, the three friends knew that their hearts would always be together no matter where their paths took them.

The exam did not go as expected, and only Aqua was made a master and therefore privy to the secrets that only Keyblade masters were entitled to. The same day, when the threat of the Unversed first came to Master Eraqus’s attention, Terra and Aqua were sent from their home to locate Master Xehanort and keep the worlds safe. Aqua was also given another assignment: keep an eye on Terra. As he had used darkness and been unable to control it during the exam, Master Eraqus was concerned about the fate of his student and bade Aqua to make sure that he came home before the darkness could take him. She agreed only because of her unwavering confidence that Terra would never turn to darkness, but before Aqua could follow Terra’s exit, Ventus appeared, inexplicably frantic, and entered the lanes between. Her new mission was clear: find him and bring him home. As she searched the worlds, however, her relationship with Terra became strained as she saw the aftermath he left in the worlds behind him. Could it be that her best friend really had turned to darkness?

Her suspicions were proven, but Terra’s knowledge of her assignment to spy on him left their friendship in question and trapped Ventus in the middle of their quarrel. While she continued on her mission, she refused to take him with her, telling him to return home for his own safety. As she continued her journey, she battled her doubt in Terra, pushing herself harder to believe the best of him. Aqua came across two boys in her travels, Sora and Riku, who helped her with that goal; they were exactly like Ventus and Terra, and they renewed her faith that their friendship could survive anything. Yet when she learned from Master Yen Sid that Terra had been involved in their master’s demise, it seemed that their friendship was on the verge of collapsing. She had to know for herself and made her way to the Keyblade Graveyard to find out the truth.

It was there that Aqua learned that everything had been a clever trap instigated by Master Xehanort to turn Terra to darkness, as well as to turn Ventus into the ultimate weapon of destruction. Together they stood strong against Master Xehanort, Vanitas, and Braig. Their bonds, however, were not enough to save them. Terra vanished in the battle and Ventus’s heart was hijacked by Vanitas, creating the X-Blade as Master Xehanort intended. Aqua and a friend she had met in her travels, King Mickey, stood against Vanitas and, as Ventus fought within his own heart, helped to destroy the X-Blade. In the aftermath, Ventus’s heart was shattered, sleeping in the realm between light and darkness. Aqua brought him to their home—what remained of it—and transformed their world into one that would never yield its secrets. Leaving Ventus and knowing that no one aside from herself would ever be able to find him, she began her search for Terra in the hopes that they could together wake Ventus from his slumber.

Following the bond between their hearts, Aqua returned to Radiant Garden to find her best friend changed, imprisoned within his own body by Master Xehanort. Refusing to leave her friend captive, Aqua identified herself for the first time as a Keyblade master and defeated Master Xehanort, only for a portal to the Realm of Darkness to open and drag her enemy into its depths. A difficult decision lay before her, but Aqua had no choice. Using her Keyblade glider, she sent Terra’s body back to the Realm of Light, losing herself in the darkness. All seemed lost, yet there was still hope even in the deepest darkness. Wandering for an eternity, Aqua nearly allowed herself to be defeated in a world she had been trained to fear and hate. Her friends’ Keyblades, however, refused to let that happen and her hope was renewed. She would find her way out of the Realm of Darkness one day and, true to her word, save Terra and wake Ventus.

Her imprisonment seemed to drag on and Aqua began to realize that time flowed differently in this unfamiliar world. When she met the mysterious man on the Dark Margin, her suspicions were confirmed. The boys she had met, the ones who had bolstered her faith in her own friends, had grown old enough to save the worlds more than once. What felt like hours, days, weeks, was really years in the Realm of Light. Yet she still waited, wandering the Realm of Darkness and looking for a way back to her friends, constantly reminding herself to keep hope alive.

Other: A short time after her first human interaction in years, Aqua was confronted by a particularly powerful enemy and, when she called her Keyblade to her hand, it was not her master’s that appeared. Her own Keyblade and armor, which she had sent back tothe Realm of Light with Terra, had returned. Afraid of what could have happened to prompt the sudden change, Aqua renewed her efforts to find a way out of the Realm of Darkness.

[Keyblader!]

"Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there... To remind you yesterday sure sucked huh?"

Name: Vexil
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Side: Neutral
Element: Lightning
Rank:II

Weapon: A Tesla rod which Vexil uses to amplify his electric powers. It has the striking force of a megaton hammer, and upon contact with a conductor (like a living body) it sends out a large amount of electric energy. Depending on the amount of volts used an average person may be simply shocked with a weak pulse. A stronger attack can momentarily paralyze or even kill. Vexil himself is immune to these charges, and he is able to store it within his body for a multitude of uses. Because of this even getting close to him may be an issue, as electricity will arc from his body if a conductor nears him. He also posses a unique magnetic field which can be used both offensively and defensively. If he touches someone or something he can 'magnetize' them. Once he does this, he can freely stream a current of electricity through their body as long as they stay within a range of 50 yards of him. If what he touches is highly conductive he can even move it via a steady stream of electricity. This makes any chance of dodging his attacks nearly impossible, as his powers will instantly arc to them.

Appearance: Vexil is of a fairly above average height, 6'2 from head to toe to be precise. He has a head of onyx hair, cut short. This messy hair is hardly ever seen however, as Vexil wears a white fedora at seemingly all times. His skin is a dark peach color, showing signs of what looks like a light tan. He has thin slanted eyebrows, which in concert with his narrow icy blue eyes gives him a cunning visage. He has a sharp shaped face, just ever so slightly edged around his jaw line.

He tends to wear a black trench coat.

Personality: Vexil is the type of guy that's hard to figure out, even though it's quite easy for him to figure 'you' out. He likes to put on airs and appeal to one's personality, because of this it's hard to tell when he's being sincere. This means he's easy to get along with, and due to his honest nature he's a reliable ally. He acts as though he cares about people's feelings, however he's capable of pulling on one's weaknesses, driving them over the edge without a hint of remorse. He doesn't hold back what he thinks, if he sees someone acting out of line he will call them out on it. He hardly ever kills, yet he has no problem inflicting pain. He believes death to be an off putting solution to problems. He'll help out a friend in need, yet screw someone over in the blink of an eye. If you don't mean much to him then you'll find out in the worst way possible. It's a lost cause trying to figure him out, though you can take solace in the fact that he never lies. If it comes out of his mouth, you can bet that it's 100% the truth as he sees it.

Bio: As a whole being Vexil was born into a wealthy family. He was treated as royalty by those of lower class, his every material desire granted. Nothing more and nothing less was acceptable. He was never allowed out into public without his 'guardians' and he was home schooled. Naturally Vexil gained a curiosity of the world, and by age ten he began sneaking out of his house every blue moon. As time went on he became more rebellious, he was told he had everything but he felt he lacked what was most important, 'freedom.' Well he got it, in what is a perfect case of 'careful what you wish for.' His home was attacked by heartless, and in the ensuing conflict his whole self lost his heart, thus creating Vexil.

I've got a friend who's planning on joining, and she'd like to reserve Terra. She'll try to get her templates up asap. :) I'll try to give you that information tomorrow Rena, I think I've got a decent amount figured out on them including their leader if the idea's accepted; too tired to do it tonight though. *collapses into bed* And Aphex, you know who said friend is.
