Name: Luxord
Age: 23
Gender: Male
Canon: Kingdom Hearts
Grade or Class Taught: Time Theory and Practice
Ability: Luxord primarily possesses the ability to manipulate time. While he does have the ability to time travel 6 months into the future or 6 months into the past, he rarely ever uses it (and has in fact only done so once to date). As a wielder of time, he understands the dire ramifications of its abuse, as well as understands the grave danger to his life and the fabric of time every time he uses it. Not only that, but he considers any incorrect or grave misuse of time (such as time travel) such a disrespect, an insult, and an utter violation of his element that he vows never to use it without due cause. (This is also the primary reason why he wants to teach the subject- he intends to instill the same respect and awareness students who have any time-related abilities). Luxord mostly dabbles and teaches in the more permissible uses of time, such as speeding or slowing down opponents or augmenting his own speed. Having been a student at the school once, he also learned the ability to summon themed items (games or card related items) into existence. His favorite things to manifest include dice, rather large playing cards and lesser soldiers called Gambler Nobodies to enforce his classes, though only if necessary. Luxord tends to be terrible at hand to hand combat, which is why his tactics involve keeping away from the enemy and manipulating his surroundings or his cards.
Personality:Luxord is a smug, self confident young man with quick fingers and an even quicker mind. He is smooth and calculating, a trait that is well hidden by his nonchalance and his seeming inability to care for anything. It is that careless attitude that often frustrates those around him, as it can be hard to discern Luxord’s motivations at times. It is also difficult to tell if he genuinely cares about anything aside from his own entertainment. Luxord’s attitude doesn’t come off as arrogant so much as self-assured, but in a place like Estrasia, it tends to make as many enemies as it does friends. He has a gift with words, and it’s easy to get lost in an intellectual conversation with him so long as the topic peaks his interest. He carries with him an air of sophistication and grace, something that has earned him popularity among the students. Others simply think he has a superiority complex. Luxord cares for neither camp.
What he does love is gambling. It’s an insufferable habit he doesn’t intend to fix any time soon. Risk is ingrained in his nature, and that’s just the way he likes it. His life is one big game. There is nothing he owns that he isn’t willing to bet. As with games, he also believes in order and the rules should apply. Whether or not he loses respect for those who break or bend the rules, depends on how they do it. Shenanigans that are poorly thought out, and poorly executed will garner disgust from Luxord. Something sneaky, underhanded but masterfully executed will place the perpetrator in a position of respect.
One of the surest ways to catch Luxord’s attention is to engage with him in competition, or to make a high stakes wager. Without something exciting to keep his attention, Luxord will only drift away or excuse himself to find more stimulating activities. It’s nothing personal to the individual... Just that he thinks they’re boring. This pretty much applies to how Luxord handles most things in life: If Luxord is not having fun, he’ll likely abandon whatever project, conversation or activity, with little consideration for the consequence. The only exception to this is the school and his classes. Luxord has come to care about the welfare of the school, and often operates on behalf of its benefit… but takes great care in making sure no one ever sees him do it. As for his classes... They that isn’t so bad, since he gets to make his own entertainment.
Canon Background: [Here]
AU Background:Like many of the other children taken in by Xemnas, Luxord lived the majority of the first decade of his life on the streets. He carried no name, and had no family, save for the sporadic (but loving) care of the employees of a local inn on the outskirts of Mirrodon. Xemnas came across him attempting (and failing) to swindle a few ruffians through cardplay, and managed to wheedle Luxord out of trouble when his efforts backfired. In return, Luxord accepted an offer to return to Cyril with Xemnas, if not simply for the reason that things in Mirrodon were beginning to get stale.
Upon arriving at the mansion in Cyril, he realized he was becoming a part of a much larger family of nearly 12 children. He got along with them, despite being a few years older than them, and operated somewhat as an older sibling. After a few eventful years with Xemnas and the other children, things began to change. He began to see a change in the way he perceived the speed of peoples’ movements. He began to see an increase in ease at which he won his games. Even more importantly, he began to manifest the ability to affect the very flow of time.
Once his powers began to grow, a letter was sent to him from Estrasia Academy. Thinking perhaps it was a hoax in poor taste, he refrained from ever replying. The letter itself found a home in a secluded corner of his room for nearly a month. Just when the incident was beginning to fade to the back of his mind, he was approached by an individual intending to recruit Luxord to Estrasia. He very nearly refused until the recruiter proposed a high stakes bet, something that Luxord couldn’t resist. Luxord lost the bet (though he refuses to this day to reveal the terms he lost to), and conceded to leaving with the stranger.
He’s been at Estrasia ever since.
Luxord has changed since his arrival, actually applying himself to something for more than a few months. Estrasia has become somewhat of a home for him. Not even a year after his graduation, he returned to take a position as a teacher. While he’s grown significantly from the boy he entered Estrasia as, his penchant for mischief, taking risks and getting into trouble has remained the same.
If anyone asks him why he stayed so long or why he became a part of the faculty, he specifically blames the bet.
A closer understanding of his personality reveals that in the end, he actually didn’t quite mind the place. After all, Estrasia has kept him amused for this long as a student. Who knows what the future may hold when he gets to be a teacher? When he gets to teach the little ones how to do what he did and get away with it?
Appearance: Blonde hair and blue eyes. He keeps a trimmed and well maintained beard. His fair skin is a stark contrast to the black leather hooded coat that he wears. He has matching black boots and gloves. He has multiple piercings on both ears. More coming soon...
