Character
Name: Saix
Series: Kingdom Hearts
Timeline: Just before he abandons his friendship with Axel
Canon Resource Links: History here

Personality: He is a student of Stoicism. Commonly misunderstood, this does not mean that he does not believe in emotions, despite his inability to feel them. Even when he had a heart, he was a student. Being a student of Stoicism means that he believes that reason should be in control of emotion. This doesn't just apply to logic, but to all forms of reason. He believes that one should remain calm and in a state of near peace at all times, not become impassioned and irrational. Still, he is drawn to such people, even if he doesn't understand why they act this way. It is why he values his relationship, his friendship, with Axel, even if he doesn't understand and often belittles his friend for acting rashly.

He's good at keeping things organized. He's a bit OCD in this regard, where things have to be just so or else he gets a little irritated. He prefers to be in the middle tier, not on top, but no where near the bottom; he worries constantly about not being good enough, about being removed from his current positon and placed near the bottom of the food chain. He knows he's made a lot of enemies, and while he can fight to keep himself safe, he doesn't want to take too many people on at once. Besides which, Nobodies are ruthless and underhanded. He's not sure they wouldn't move on him if he weren't in the Superior's grace. This plays a huge part in him playing it safe.

Pokémon Information
Affiliation: Team Rocket Grunt
Starter: For the level 15 starter, I think a Riolu will work well. Because he is a natural fighter, similar to how Saix was in his canon, their personalities will be less likely to clash. Also, he'll be more comfortable with a pokemon that can fight and hold it's own. If that isn't available, I'm fine with any other pokemon available for the level 15 starter. As for his level 5 starter pokemon, Houndour. He's fond of dogs (this has nothing to do with those ridiculous pictures of him looking/acting like a dog) and will be more likely to take care of a pokemon that suits his preference as a pet. As dogs are loyal companions, and Houndours especially so, he'll also be likely to take better care of it and not abuse it. I think it would be a good away to teach him loyalty and about remaining faithful to the "pack" as well, lessons he might need in the future.
Password: "Scrambled" and "Eggs"

Samples
First Person Sample:
[ Saix has the thing upside down without realizing it when it turns on. ]

Whoever said figuring out how to work a Pokegear would be easy, lied. This gear is hard.

[ He shakes it a bit and then giving it a good smack. The screen fizzles out for a second to static before coming back ]

Hmm. Seems it's working.

[ Flipping it around now ]

Would someone please inform me of what exactly a Rocket is? I'm assuming it's not the general term referring to the projectile that shoots into the sky. If that truly is the case, I would prefer not to be a part of such a group. I have an understandable preference to keep my feet on the ground.

[ A pause, a small frown ]

Another question I'd like to pose, although I realize it sounds quite strange. Is anyone aware of how my heart was returned to me? It is something I would dearly like to know, along with where I am.

[ He says the bit about liking to know where he is as if it's a second thought and not important ]

Third Person Sample:
Waking up to the alarm had not been pleasant. He'd used one in Castle Oblivion, but after waking up at the same time for ten years straight, he'd managed to get into the habit of waking up just before the infernal thing went off. As it is, when this new alarm goes off, his gold eyes snap open and his hand slams down, hitting the machine as hard as he can. Unfortunately, breaking it doesn't do what he desired. Instead of stopping altogether, it's giving a sad, sort of broken chirping sound. At first he thinks it's another prank. Demyx and Xigbar pull them all the time, although they usually tend to avoid his room. He made it clear pretty quickly such behavior would not be tolerated. That didn't mean that they still didn't pull the occasional prank now and again.

Then it registers that this isn't his room and he's sitting up. His first thought is to wonder how he got here. The second is to wonder if this is a prank by Xigbar to get him into trouble. Had the second Nobody decided he was a liability? But no, he notices the note quickly enough now that he's on full alert. New Rocket Member… What the heck is a Rocket? He reads the note twice and finally decides that if all else fails, it's better to follow the directions. After all, who knows what penalties can come from--and then he notices it. The steady beat in his chest. His eyes widen and he looks down, fingers brushing over unfamiliar pajamas, tugging them out of the way. How could he have missed it? That heaviness in his chest, the steady thrum, the entire sensation?

He has a heart again.

That does it. That's the singular event that seals his fate in this world. He's suddenly feeling a bit grateful to these so called Rockets. Whatever team they are, whatever they might be, if they can return this to him… If he can have his heart again, can feel again, can experience this wonderful sensation, he wants to be a part of them. He climbs out of bed and grabs the uniform, changing from the pajamas into the new uniform he's been assigned, pleased it's slightly more colorful than his last one. He glances at the only Organization coat hanging in the closet, next to his old clothes. It's there, in case he wants to change back, he knows, but he has no desire to remain loyal to a cause that is no longer related to him. He has his heart back. He turns his back on his old life, ready to embrace his new one.

When the woman downstairs ushers him out the door, he's not quite sure what to think. There are a few people roaming around dressed like him but they don't seem to understand what's happening any better than he does. Very well then, he'll look around until he finds someone who does know what's going on. He already decided to join this cause. Reason dictates that he must not stray from it, no matter what.

Other Characters Played: Allen

Series: Kingdom Hearts
Character: Ventus
Timeline: Birth by Sleep, Dream Drop Distance
Character Alignment/Role: (The name of the character you're applying for. Whether they’re good, evil, neutral, etc. And the role they play in their canon.)
Description of AU!World:
He is mostly canon and will have the same memories as canon. However, after Dream Drop Distance, where he's seen smiling, things change.

At the end of DDD, Sora find the Chamber of Waking in a dream. He can talk to Ventus, despite him still being asleep, although his voice only in his head. They talk about how Sora's been looking for Ventus, who says he hasn't moved. When Sora mentions it's been ten years since he went to sleep, it comes as a great shock to Ventus. He asks what happened to Terra and Aqua but Sora doesn't know. About to wake from his dream, Sora opens his heart and asks how he can help Ventus. In doing this, he allows Ven's heart to return to him. However, before Ventus can awaken, Sora vanishes, waking from his dream. He forgets all about the dream on waking, although he has the feeling he should be helping someone. Meanwhile, back in the Chamber of Waking, Ventus wakes to find himself completely alone. Alone in a white room with no discernible way out, he searches for almost five hours to find a hidden passage or doorway to let him leave. Unable to find one, he begins to panic, worrying about what will happen to him if he's trapped there all alone. He spends another hour tormenting himself with his thoughts before he finally breaks down crying. One of his tears splashes on the charm Aqua made for him, the green star Wayfinder. It activates, glowing, and that leads him to a small hidden panel in the throne, which contains a Star Shard. This he takes and finally leaves the Chamber, but not without consequence. Those several hours spent alone in that room, convinced he'd be trapped there forever, left a small scar on his heart. He now can't stand to be alone for too long and hates sleeping alone. He's afraid to go to sleep alone, for fear of waking up back in that Chamber.

Personality: He's cheerful generally to a fault. He likes to smile and laugh, greeting everyone he meets pleasantly. He wants to be on friendly terms with most people he meets, which contributes greatly to his helpful persona. He isn't always cheerful, however. Occasionally some worry manages to drive that cheerfulness away. It isn't gone for long however, and soon he's back to his normal, happy self. An example of this is when Vanitas first tells Ventus that "Terra is going to disappear." This worries Ven, which sends him chasing after Terra, but even though he's worried he's still cheerful when he meets new people and gets to know them on other worlds. This is evident in the fact that he often helps people when he travels to other worlds. He is also very curious; he wants to know a little of everything and loves to talk. He tends to get really excited about new things and loves learning about them. He's very kind and sweet to people, especially to those he doesn't know. He easily makes friends, although Terra and Aqua will always hold a special place in his heart as his best friends. When he meets Isa and Lea in the game, he has a sparring match and becomes friends with them, although the encounter is brief. He's always looking to make new friends, so any chance he gets, he tries to befriend someone. He also has a protective streak in him. Because of his general helpfulness, he can't stand by and just watch as someone's bullied. However, he won't actually react aside from trying to help/talk unless he knows the person. If someone he knows and cares about is threatened in anyway, he goes out of his way to see to the threat. This doesn't necessarily mean he'll get violent but he will do everything in his power to keep the people he loves safe.

He isn't able to cope with betrayal easily and it hurts him deeply. This is evident by how he deals with his former mentor. He could possibly forgive such a betrayal but it would take time and his trust would need to be earned back. He is very brave, willing to risk his life and his heart in order to fight and protect his friends. Again, this is shown in the game when he literally sacrifices himself for his friends. Still, he has a childish side and while he doesn't mind being spoiled by Terra and Aqua, he dislikes that he isn't allowed to follow them everywhere, even if they're doing it to keep him safe. Whenever Aqua or Terra tell him to go home or to stay behind, he is obviously displeased. He doesn't mind being the youngest, though, in fact enjoying it as it means he gets special attention from the two of them. He doesn't get angry often but when he does, it's like a switch. He can flip it and rage at someone and then suddenly turn it off so he can deal with any situation that might be at hand. Once that situation is over, however, the switch will be flipped again.

Background:
It can be found here.

Pokemon: Emolga. On his chest, just over his heart will be a small keyhole shaped scar. His eyes will remain the brilliant blue that he's known for as well. On his tail will be a pattern in his fur in the shape of a keyblade. It won't be noticeable unless he's flying through the air or his tail is laid out straight behind him. On his right paw will be a strange, green star.

I chose Emolga because it seems to fit his personality best. Generally a happy pokemon, it's purest pleasure is in playing games and flying. There isn't a lot known about the actual pokemon, so I'll add in some general traits at fit with Ven's personality. Loyalty, friendly, affectionate.

Personality Test
1. You're in class when you realize that you really have to go to the restroom! What do you do?
Raise my hand and tell the teacher I have to pee. It's an emergency!
2. Your friend is running a little late to meet you. Is that OK?
Of course! These things happen.
3. You fail miserably! Everyone found out, and they're disappointed in you... What do you do?
Apologize and find some way to make it up. There must be something I can do to fix things.
4. You've been asked to do a difficult task. What will you do?
Figure out how to do.
5. Do you think that, no matter what, life goes on?
Why wouldn't it?

Sample RP:

Ven didn't really know what happened, and honestly, he didn't care. He was flying! He was flying! This was the coolest sensation ever! He glided over the tree tops, not minding that he was suddenly much smaller than normal. Who could care about size at a time like this? He'd always loved the wind. He had an affinity to wind magic, after all. Feeling it brush over his fur like this--wait, he had fur?--and underneath him was amazing. He'd always wanted to fly! That brief stay in Neverland hadn't been enough for him. He gave a pleased laugh and glided toward a branch to land.

And promptly realized, in mid air, he had no idea how he was supposed to land. Oops. "Ah, ahhh!" He cried out, running into the branch. Oooh, that hurt his stomach. Scrambling to climb back on top of the branch with his little claws, he panted. Catching his breath again, he gave another little happy laugh. "I want to try that again! This is so cool!" As long as he didn't fall all the way to the ground, he should be fine.

Series: D.Gray-man
Character: Allen Walker
Timeline: Chapter 215
Personality: At first glance, he's a sweet boy with an equally sweet appearance. He smiles a lot and he's generally cheerful. He always greets people politely, no matter what circumstances he meets them under. He's friendly and often tries to alleviate the situation. However, under the friendly exterior, he tries to keep an emotional distance from everyone. He doesn't want close connections or friends. He has no family, denies his connection to the Noah family, and clings to the memory of his dead adoptive father. He's scared that if he makes any connections, if he allows anyone to get too close to him, he'll end up hurting them. When he was told by his Master that one day, the Noah inside of him would take over and he would be forced to kill someone he loved, he began to withdraw from the friends he'd already made, trying to sever his connection to them. He is deathly afraid of hurting someone he cares about, even by accident, and is constantly fighting a mental battle within himself. He rarely drops his calm, cool, composed and friendly act around others unless they somehow purposely get underneath his skin. Then he can get an attitude and snap at the person, although so far, only one person has gotten close enough to him to get under his skin like that.

Background: Background can be found here. He is completely up to date, canon wise. As of right now, he'll be switching occasionally to his Noah side, since this is what the canon update seems to suggest.

Pokemon: Eevee. He'll still keep the curse mark on his left eye and his left front leg will be completely black. The tips of his fur will be white instead of tan. His eyes will remain blue, although his cursed eye turns red when activated.

Because Eeevee's behavior is effected by it's surroundings, as well as it's unusual ability to be able to evolve into more than one form, I felt this was the best pokemon for him to be. Allen's personality is often reflective of his surroundings and his emotions more often than not are tuned in with those around him. As for why the multiple evolutions fit, because of his circumstances there are several roads he can take. Eevee also has a naive personality, and while Allen isn't completely naive this also fits with his character. He is also loyal, friendly, affectionate and energetic like an Eevee.

Personality Test
1. Have you ever blurted something out without thinking about the consequences first?
Yes.
2. Your friend has made a meal that tastes terrible. They ask, "How is it?" You say...?
It was okay. Can I have seconds?
3. You fail miserably! Everyone found out, and they're disappointed in you... What do you do?
Find a way to make it up to them.
4. The phone's ringing! What do you do?
Ask if anyone's going to get it or if I should answer it.
5. Do you think that, no matter what, life goes on?
Yes. I know it.

Sample RP:

Allen didn't know what happened. One moment, he'd been arguing with Johnny and the next, he was here. He got up to his feet gingerly, but found something was strange. His movements were off. For one, he was on all fours. This wasn't normal, it wasn't natural to his mind. He tried to stand on his hind legs but stumbled forward, face splashing in a puddle. He stared wide-eyed at the ripples, watching in horrified fascination as the water stilled. Before him was an unfamiliar creature, something that looked to be a cross between a cat and a fox. What was it? His blue eyes traced the familiar scar on the left eye of the creature.

Better question was, what was he? He wasn't surprised to have been turned into an animal. It was a common enough occurrence when the scientists did there weird experiments. What was more concerning was he didn't know where he was or how to turn back. There was no Johnny around either, so he couldn't ask him to change him back. He let out a soft sigh and stepped forward with his left front leg, trying to get used to walking on all fours. It was a strange sensation. Realizing his front leg was black, though, made him smile slightly. His Innocence had made the trip with him. He could handle this then. Taking wobbly steps, he tried to learn how to walk on all fours. He would be quite a sight to behold, an Eevee walking around in circles.

Eridan sat by the sea, staring out at it. Everything felt off. It felt like someone had tilted his world on it's side and he wasn't sure how he could get it right side up again. He wasn't sure everything would be alright again.
