CHARACTER INFORMATION-
Canon Character and Series: Roxas, Kingdom Hearts
In-Game Name: Roxas Orior
Age: Fifteen Sixteen Seventeen
Gender: Male
Position & Ship (first and second choice for position please): Navigator, the Amestris
Appearance: Roxas takes on many of the features of the normal teenage boy. Like most boy his age, he's still growing, and as of right now, stands at about an average height. His blond hair is spiked, and despite its messy look, is actually pretty decently kept. His eyes are a bright blue, which give him a lively, youthful look. Roxas, does, however, tend to have a more serious look on his face most of the time, which sometimes give others the impression of looking a few years older than he actually is. When he smiles, however, he looks more youthful.
Personality: In general, Roxas is a quiet and serious boy, especially when it comes to his work. But when he's with friends, he tends to loosen up more and be more talkitive and outgoing. While Roxas likes people on the whole, he prefers to have a small group of people he can call his closest of friends, but this does not mean he is unfriendly - he tends to get a little shy in large crowds. Growing up, he was an only child and had a small group of friends, so he is still getting used to living on a ship with a crew. Once he gets over that, he will be less timid. Despite this certain flaw, Roxas still has that natural curiosity associated with children and sometimes gets into trouble because of it.
When with friends, there is nothing Roxas likes more than just hanging out. While going out and exploring is fun, he's also perfectly content with sitting around and doing nothing, as long as he's with the people he likes and cares about. Because of his calm, rational nature, Roxas tends to play peacekeeper with his friends, and because of this, has the ability to quickly assess and take control of stressful situations. Despite this, Roxas does not like to be the center of attention, but rather let someone else lead and offer his input when necessary. This particular quality, partially inherited from his father, makes Roxas a good navigator.
Roxas has a strong sense of justice and always tries to do the right thing, often casting off his own insecurities in order to stand up for someone he believes is being wronged. He also has somewhat of a sweet tooth and tends to spend a fair chunk of his spare change on candies or ice cream.
Abilities/Weapons: Roxas has no real notable combat abilities. He participated in Struggle tournaments - a game in which two combatants pretty much attack each other with foam bats - but has no real battle skills or experience. He does, however, have exceptional diplomatic skills - able to step into an argument or a fight and try to find a compromise. He also has an ability to look at things from different angles and perform reasonably well when under stress, an offshoot of his navigational skills.
Roxas' skill in navigation can be credited almost entirely to his father. Roxas picked up his father's talent for reading maps and charting courses, and learned much from his father when he was a child.
How well can your character hack?: Only the easiest things to hack, and that is after working at them for a good hour or two.
Weaknesses: Roxas is basically useless in a fight.
That said, what Roxas' biggest flaw is his people skills. Roxas is uncomfortable when dealing with strangers and tends to be shy when in crowds. When speaking to people he is not close to, Roxas speaks in a friendly, yet somewhat cautious manner that may make him seem distant. Roxas likes to be a background person, and because of it, will sometimes come off as unfriendly when in reality, he is just reserved and insecure. He can also be easily pushed around because sometimes it's simply easier to let himself get bullied into things rather than be confrontational.
Roxas is also currently grieving the loss of his father, which may impede anything he does that's not related to doing his navigating job.
History: Roxas was born and raised in the Badlands town of Garrettstown. His father was a navigator for a trade ship that went all around Reial to pick up goods to sell in the markets. Because his father was gone almost constantly, Roxas was mostly raised by his mother and grandparents. However, he did have a very strong bond with his father. The few times that his father was home, they wasted none of their precious time together. Roxas was interested in airships and his father taught him how to read maps and chart courses at an early age. While his father was away, Roxas would pass the time improving what skills he had and spending time with his small group of friends.
These friends are very important to Roxas, as Roxas had no siblings and they pretty much grew up together. Their parents were all friends and thus their children also formed strong bonds. Overall, life was very good for Roxas, even with the issue of his father being constantly away for most of his life.
However, that good life was shattered.
The ship Roxas' father was on was one of the ships hit by the Lunasa Day bombings. It was in port in Solare, picking up a shipment of goods to bring back to Garrettstown. Roxas' father was caught in one of the blasts, caught completely unaware. He died while in the hospital.
When the news of his father's death reached him, Roxas was devastated. Friends and family tried to comfort him to no avail, and they eventually stopped trying after a few weeks. Roxas became more withdrawn and reserved, and eventually sought more company with his friends to try to get his mind off the grief. A few more weeks later, Roxas decided he was going to be a navigator, partially to honor his father's memory, and partially to help cope with his loss. The problem was, Roxas wasn't sure what ship to go to.
He eventually settled on the Winding Way because he heard of how close the crew was. He hoped to become part of that closeness.
