Just Some Character Speculation...
18 years ago
Don't mind me, I just need to get this down before I lose it or change it completely...
I noticed a pattern when I was trying to think up VII-XII: I imagined most of them as non-humans, which makes sense considering that most Disney characters are not human. The ratio is pretty high at any rate. Now, after a long while of debating with myself, I think I've got them all down:
Xemnas < Ansem ne Xehanort, Apprentice, (probable) non-Garden Humanoid Race, possibly former Keyblade-bearer, formerly Terra [?], arrived as Xehanort in Garden early/mid-twenties; death: mid/late-twenties
Xigbar < Braig, Apprentice (Engineering, specializing in Mechatronics; also interested in Philosophy, but not formally studying the subject), Garden Humanoid Race 2; death: very late thirties/mid-forties
Xaldin < Dilan, Apprentice (Research Psychology, point of special interest: Psychophysics), Garden Humanoid Race 2; death: mid/late thirties
Vexen < Even, Apprentice (Lab Tech, curious scientist in general, accomplished Biotech), Garden Humanoid Race 1; death: early/mid-forties
Lexaeus < Aeleus, Apprentice (Philosophy, Education and Educational Technology, inventive), Garden Humanoid Race 1; death: late-twenties/early-thirties
Zexion < Ienzo, Apprentice (Linguistics, Legal and Forensic Psych (Lab Tech)), Garden Humanoid Race 1: death: mid-teens/early-twenties
Saix < Isaiah (short Isa), Great Mouse Detective: his Heartless became the notorious Hound of the Baskervilles. Death: mid/late twenties (mentally) 3-5 actual years *Original concept accorded to ruinreverse rp: Asi, a demi-human (I assume) Mystic Warrior.
Axel < RAE a Moomba kit, recently evolved in part of a clan formerly stranded and now hiding in part of the Australian outback. He befriended a rancher-boy on the edge of his territory when he was quite a small Moomba, and managed to smuggle himself along with when his Alex went to college in the city, where they learned the joys of gaming and programming, and that they can't avoid those freaky shadows in the dark alleys forever. Death: early/mid-twenties (Mental) about 50-60 as a Shumi, ~10 as a Moomba.
Demyx < Myde, a somewhat happy-go-lucky merman that was originally 1/7 his size, before an unlucky accident with the palace's resident witch made him huge. Triton, feeling pity for the poor guy, took him on as a caretaker for his three youngest daughters. Not only did they get the best lullabies, now you know where Ariel gets it from. A problem arises when Myde tries to take in a strange parentless egg with a human inside of it. The pressure under the sea threatens to break the protective surface and kill the man who sleeps inside. It's too heavy to heave to the surface, let alone to the nearest shore, so Myde asks Triton to send it to land, where he'll be safe. But will the lands be safe from this man? Much later, Myde makes a foolish trade with Ursula for the chance to walk on the land, not knowing she meant she'd actually literally take his heart. And set it loose in the palace. Thereby forcing him to destroy it, getting the witch banished and himself exiled. Death: very late teens/early-mid-twenties, about 30 physical years
Luxord < Rould, A space-faring cat-alien from the future, a la Capitan Amelia. I originally called him L'Rudo, which is a mix-up of a Romance "Le" (the) and the South African "Rudo" (Love). Which he should've named his ship. Except he never managed to get his own before his heart was eaten by space Heartless and his powers activated to save himself. Death: mid thirties (mental) 150+years
Marluxia < Lumaria, a Neverland Sparrow man. You always knew that guy was a fairy! It was a particularly nasty brat whose laugh birthed Lumaria. "Is this what happens when you stop believing?" Death: 100+years
Larxene < Arlene, a Guado, which rather neatly explains her kinkiness, her friendship with Marluxia, and her hair. Death: early-twenties (mental) ~40 physical
*Original concept accorded to ruinreverse rp: A persecuted witch from Kiki's Delievery Service.
Roxas < Sora, Keyblade-bearer, non-Garden Humanoid Race (Destiny Islands) Death: 14-15
Phew. That's down. Now, I'm going to BED.
