Series: Kingdom Hearts
Character: Zexion
Timeline: The moment of his death.
Personality: Calm, calculative, and cunning are three words that best describe the Cloaked Schemer. Zexion is extremely thorough with his work and missions, and if there is anything else that can be done, he makes sure it gets done, rather than leaving it for someone else. He also tends to be manipulative, using others to somehow do the dirty work rather than dirty his own hands. Zexion's loyalty lies with the Organization, and the creation of Kingdom Hearts, in order to become complete once more. As with all Nobodies, Zexion cannot feel emotions, yet is somehow able to express them.
Although at first glance he may seem like the quiet loner type, Zexion will instruct newer members calmly and clearly, as seen with Roxas, teaching them that in order to be respected, work must be completed. Also, he does seem to have a more laid back side to him, as seen when he jokes with Axel and Lexaeus, or participating in leisurely games during his spare time.
When in combat, rather than physically fight, Zexion uses illusions and mental attacks to wear down his opponent's psyche, before finishing them off, even making himself appear as a target's best friend if necessary. He is fairly quiet, only speaking to other members of the Organization when necessary, as he is normally quite busy with working to enhance the Organization, believing it needed to be expanded. His attitude seems to remain fairly calm, sometimes sarcastic depending on the situation. He uses emotions as a chink in an opponent's armor, using mind games and illusions to take them down, only resorting to his weapons and fighting when absolutely necessary. If all else fails, Zexion will flee a battle, to live another day. Zexion's intelligence and strategies are unrivaled within the Organization.
Although cold, and seeing others as easily disposable, Zexion is fond of politeness, and proper greetings. He also takes his missions very seriously, in contrast to some of the members of the Organization, such as Xigbar. He has an undying sense to the success of Organization XIII, and appears to be placed in a higher rank than his number.
Background: Zexion was once the youngest of Ansem the Wise's apprentices, a young boy named Ienzo. After his parent's deaths, Ansem the Wise took him in as his adopted son, and apprentice in research. Many days were spent together working and enjoying sea salt ice cream. Until the appearance of Xehanort. Like Xehanort, he was most curious about the inner workings of the heart, and of the effects of darkness upon it. Eventually, after much research as an apprentice, he and the other apprentices conspired to overthrow their wise leader and take over the research themselves after plunging further into the darkness they wished to study.
Organization XIII was then founded, and new members being recruited to aid in establishing their goals, to obtain Kingdom Hearts, by using the Keyblade Master. Zexion, the Cloaked Schemer, and VI of the Organization was one of the most intelligent members, as well as supposedly 4th in command. Then, Xemnas left Zexion, Marluxia, Axel, Larxene, Vexen, and Lexaeus to operate in Castle Oblivion, to capture and manipulate Sora.
Zexion, taking control of the basement of the castle, Lexaeus, and Vexen at his side, began to work and watch over the castle. It is also believed that Zexion was sent to Castle Oblivion to keep a close eye on Marluxia. Soon after Sora's arrival, Riku appeared as well, Zexion stating that his scent was similar to Xemnas', due to the presence of Ansem's Heartless within Riku.
Vexen is killed by Axel, Lexaeus by Riku. Zexion was left alone to confront the unstable Riku, but he had a trick up his sleeve, a memory card containing the data for Destiny Islands, Riku's home. Zexion goes to confront Riku, taunting him and asking him if he can face Sora, knowing that he still carries an immense darkness within his heart. Riku takes the card and enters the data world, where the figures he had known so well vanished as he tried to speak to them. Zexion appears and blames Riku for the destruction of the Destiny Islands, for opening the door to darkness. He then sent a Darkside Heartless to engage Riku, giving him time to take the form of Sora via illusions. Zexion/Sora then attacked Riku, stating that he is no more than a puppet of darkness now, and surrounds him in light. Using Namine's aid, Riku breaks free of the illusion and strikes Zexion, who attacks in return, but is once again defeated, retreating.
Arriving wounded and weakened in the basement, Zexion is shocked by the appearance of Axel and the Riku replica, but relaxes when he realizes its only the replica. However, Axel begins antagonizing the replica, and has it attack Zexion, for knowing too much. It is here that Zexion is being taken from.
Abilities/Additional Notes: (As a Nobody, Zexion has the ability to teleport via a method known as the corridor of darkness. In Paradise, he will still be able to use this, however he cannot leave Paradise, and if attempted to do so, will instead be teleported to the lobby of the hospital.
As with most other Nobodies, he can also sustain fairly large amounts of damage before needing to retreat. Zexion's specialty ability is wielding illusions. Using darkness, Zexion can make himself appear to be something or someone else, as well as make other items appear different. This ability is crucial to his style of combat.
Lexicon: Zexion's weapon of choice is a large book known as the Lexicon. If his main strategies in combat fail, he will resort to trapping his opponents within it, in what seems to be a form of alternate dimension where Zexion can freely bombard his opponents with illusionary copies of the Lexicon and its pages.
Spells: Zexion is skilled with using magic, rather than physical force, and retains the following spells:
Cura
Fire
Thundaga
Blizzaga
Aero
Each spell is limited to two casts per day.
Scent: Using traces of darkness and strength of a person's heart, Zexion can 'smell' where a person is located, able to detect them from a great distance, and able to pinpoint their location.
Advocate Note:: Zexion is not an advocate.

How curious. Such a large city, yet the population isn't as large as it should be. Is the population expected to grow large enough to match? It would be a pity to see such space go to waste.
Have there been any sightings of shadow-like creatures with yellow eyes? I must know if they have reached this world yet.
Sample RP: Zexion opened his eyes slowly, before sitting up straight almost instantly, his gaze darting about. Where was Axel? The Replica? He relaxed slightly after taking a moment to gather himself.
"Gone. Interesting indeed. Now I need only report to the Superior and have the traitor eliminated."
A thin smirk formed on his lips as he began to fully analyze his surroundings. This certainly wasn't Castle Oblivion, or the Castle That Never Was. Where exactly was he? He took a deep breath, attempting to locate any familiar energy signatures within the area.
"Hm. Perhaps this is a brand new world. In that case, it would be best if I performed some reconnaisance before returning to the Castle."
Zexion continued to sit there quietly for a moment, pondering over his current situation, as one thing still irked him. How did he get here?
