Golddream's Character Fleshout Questions! Question 1: Limit
14 years ago
General
Yup! Imma give this a shot.
First off, happy new year to everyone, though very belated. I haven't been writing for a looong time, been feeling a bit under the weather unfortunately, and I'm not very inspired at the moment to work on anything.
Except this, but this is more for YOU!
Every now and then I'll come up with some crazy kind of detail which probably no one thinks about concerning their characters. Why not share these questions? Maybe it'll help someone else define their own characters! I did it once before with the Baten Kaitos finishers.
So lately, I've been playing some Kingdom Hearts. And Kingdom Hearts 2. For those of you who do not know, it's about Sora, who travels around several disney worlds and meets all kinds of Disney characters and helps them fight off monsters known as Heartless.
Now, in both KH1 and KH2, some of those Disney characters could temporarily join your team. And in KH2, they had an ability known as a limit breaker, a very powerful and unique move. Limit breakers could only be used if the character was equipped with a specific talent. My personal favourite ally in both games was Jack Skellington, from "The nightmare before christmas".
And upon seeing his Limit, Dance Call, I started thinking about my own characters. What would their Limits be? What would it look like? What would it do? What would the character's lines be?
Here is an exhibition of all the limits of KH2, which obviously contains some spoilers. It can help to illustrate the definition of Limit.

And here's one of my own character's limits.
Eferiel Kamnir (Elven light-mage)
Name Enabling Talent: Common Courtesy.
Limit Opener: Star Cascade. Eferiel and Sora clap their right hands together and bow their heads as they focus. Beams of light erupt from the ground underneath them, circling them and harming enemies in their path.
Sora's limit move: Exorcism. Knocks the target up in the air, where several beams of light immediately pierce him.
Eferiel's limit move: Light Raid. Lances of light strike the target in incredibly rapid succession.
Limit Finisher: Sanctuary. Sora calls for Eferiel, who immediately appears behind him, back to back. "Say no more!" Eferiel says with a grin, and both Sora and Eferiel arch back as they get lifted into the air. Lights escape from their hearts and ball up above them. Two beams of light trace a circle on the ground around them, and a few lights escape the ball to hunt down enemies. The ball drops down to the ground, and as Eferiel and Sora touch the ground again, the ball spills out, lighting the circle up. The circle remains for a while, damaging enemies within and healing allies.
Now post yours!
