Character Information
General
Canon Source: Kingdom Hearts
Canon Format: Video game
Character's Name: Saïx
Character's Age: Approximately ten as Saïx, approximately 26 when combined with Isa’s age at loss of heart
What form will your character's NV take? This. It’s an iPhone with that case
Abilities
Character's Canon Abilities: Saïx has a few abilities. Most of them are the general Nobody abilities. You know, summoning corridors of darkness, calling on and ordering around Lesser Nobodies, that kind of thing. However, his own, innate ability is that in certain circumstances a berserker state activates. He sacrifices control and his own mind-temporarily-for brute strength. And he is incredibly strong. However, there is one major problem with this state. Because he lacks control, he’ll go after anything that moves.
Conditional: If your character has no superhuman canon abilities, what dormant ability will you give them? If at all possible, because Saïx’s berserker ability is so wild and he usually lacks control while in this state, combined with the lack of enclosed spaces for him to use to his advantage, I’d like him to develop the extra ability of dowsing. That is, swinging a pendulum over a map to determine the general area of something.
Weapons: Lunatic
History/Personality/Plans/etc.
Character History: He covers two people.
Point in Canon: Saïx has just fallen at the hands of Sora
Character Personality:
First and foremost, Saïx is a very complex character. When he is first introduced, he seems, for all intents and purposes, just another puppet on Xemnas’ strings. He appears to be the loyal dog and secretary, doing all he can to benefit the Organization at large. However, this is all an act, and a well-played one at that. It is revealed that he and Axel were traitors all along, and that they were using the Organization to their advantage. Saïx’s position as second-in-command was a way for him to give out and manipulate orders in a way that benefitted his own plans, while either covering them up or skewing events to make it seem beneficial to the Organization.
He initially comes across as entirely emotionless, almost monotone. However, when he asks Xemnas if it’s time to end the charade (talking about their supposed alliance and revealing that Xemnas likely knew all along that he was a traitor), he has an almost sadistic glee to his voice, and he also seems to show outright jealousy toward Xion and Roxas. They are the only two people he is outright hostile toward, going so far as to degrade Xion by never calling her by her name. In fact, he considers her below even Dusks-the lowest of all Nobodies. In one scene, he also shows anger toward Axel, going so far as to bring up their past together and asking outright what matters more to him: Xion and Roxas, or Saïx himself (although in much more vague terms). He also has an entirely hopeful gaze when he speaks to Sora on the cliff in Radiant Garden, and even a slight hopeful tone to his voice, perhaps suggesting that some semblance or echo of emotion still exists inside his hollow shell.
One thing is that he is entirely capable of not only sending people to their deaths, but outright disposing of them himself. When he realized Marluxia, Vexen and Zexion were actually a hindrance to his plan, he sent them, Lexaeus and Larxene to Castle Oblivion along with Axel. VIII was then to eliminate them by any subtle means possible that couldn’t trace back to either of them. However, when Axel himself defected, Saïx relentlessly hunted him down in an attempt to eliminate him himself.
Saïx also openly mocks Sora, in that same monotone he uses throughout the game. When they first meet, he comments that “it would break [their] hearts” if Sora lost his own heart, knowing that they Keybearer had the knowledge that they lacked hearts. In Radiant Garden, he goes so far as to tell Sora that they have Kairi in order to further taunt him into slaying more Heartless for them to use. He goads Sora into revealing how important a piece Kairi is, getting him to actually kneel in submission.
He is very goal-oriented, and once he has his mind set on a goal, he is consumed by it. His entire existence is geared toward creating Kingdom Hearts to become Isa again. This is evident in the fact that he is so focused on his goal, that he will even slay his partner-in-crime and former best friend-despite the fact that the goal was to include Axel always.
However, despite this, when Axel dies, his demeanor toward Sora changes-and perhaps his immediate goal. He tries twice to eliminate Sora, the first time through countless Heartless. The second time, he himself attempts to eliminate Sora. In the battle, it should be noted that Saïx only ever targets Sora. This is true even in his berserker state, which is an abnormality in itself as he otherwise seems to lack control. He is at that point consumed completely by the goal to eliminate Sora. In fact, just before the battle, he speaks in a very bitter tone. It seems that, despite all his attempts to eliminate Axel, he still feels his loss as he goes above and beyond to eliminate the threat toward Kingdom Hearts.
Saïx is also a very calm and patient character normally. Despite despising Xemnas and having always planned on killing him, he works beneath him and plays the loyal servant perfectly. He even waits for those at Castle Oblivion to either rip each other to shreds, or for Axel to take care of it in some way.
Speaking of Axel, Saïx has issues. Big issues. He is both possessive and indifferent toward Axel, actively despising those who grow close to Axel that aren’t him but not caring about Axel’s welfare (going so far as to not ask how Axel is doing when he returns from Castle Oblivion). As revealed in the novels, he actually has more issues with Axel than initially seen. There is a scene where he is thinking over Axel, and contemplating “how he got a heart.” He also comments that “Excluding the core six members I was the first new member of Organization 13. I was supposed to be special.”
He also openly taunts Riku in the same novels, bringing up the destruction of the islands and asking Riku if he doesn’t want his “precious islands” to be harmed before actively going after Kairi. He is thwarted a few times before he himself finds her and Axel in Twilight Town, where he actually attempts to kill his former best friend. Axel is incapacitated in one hit, proving that Saïx’s calm exterior belies a vicious kind of strength. Earlier on, he confronts Axel when he’s with Naminé, taunting the red-head and going on to jab at his affection towards Roxas by commenting that “the Organization’s plans change every day.”
Adding onto his Axel issues, Saïx overall seems to have issues with his past in general. He clings to it so tightly in an attempt to get it back that he loses sight of who he used to be, changing drastically from the laid-back and fun-loving although still-able-to-be-serious Isa to the humorless, much-too-serious and focused to the point of giving up even that which used to be important Saïx.
Also speaking of his past, Saïx has very big issues with Xemnas. He seems entirely aware of the fact that Xemnas is lying to them about regaining hearts, and so takes it upon himself to earn his heart himself. Perhaps he even knows that Xemnas is the one who, as Xehanort, caused the destruction of his home and is thus the loss of his heart and transformation from Isa into Saïx. It’s entirely possible he blames Xemnas for everything.
Character Plans: Pretty much, he’s going to just be adjusting to life in the Port and coming to terms with the fact that his plans fell through and that he may never actually receive his heart.
Appearance/PB: Normal and Berserk
Writing Samples
First Person Sample
[Hello, SP. There is now a very linefacey guy staring into the NV’s video feed.]
…This is not what I had expected death to be. I require a better explanation than what I was given. Telling me that I am in a world called “Canada” is hardly a satisfactory answer.
[And now he’ll seem almost bored.]
…I also require an explanation as to why I cannot summon a corridor of darkness away from here. The mechanics, if you would. Or, lacking that, more about the city itself. Perhaps any information will be useful at this point. Simply give me something to work with.
[Because he has a giant heart in the sky to get to, if he is indeed still alive.]
Third Person Sample
He has a few thoughts on this quaint city. Most of them are unintelligible noises of pure rage, were he able to actually feel such an emotion. However, then he’d discovered the presence of Xemnas. That alone was enough to lead Saïx to despise this world with every fiber of his nonexistence. He’d already despised the Superior, many issues from their past leading to an obvious bias against the man, but to learn that he had been here for longer than him and that he possibly knew enough to not need him meant that Saïx’s one advantage of being his second-in-command had disappeared entirely. It takes many deep, calming breaths to keep his berserk mode from activating.
This information solidifies his resolve, though. Xemnas will have to be either impressed or eliminated entirely. Preferably the latter.
