[vacationisalie]

Body and Appearance
1. Describe the character's height and build. Is he heavyset, thin, short, rangy?
Roxas is on the shorter side- lithe, perhaps just a little scrawny.

2. How old is he?
Physically and mentally 15 years, only just over a year in length of time.

3. Describe his posture. Does he carry himself well or does he slouch?
Roxas doesn’t seem to have much self-awareness as far as being shy goes. His posture is confident, but Roxas seems unaware of how this is perceived.

4. How is his health? Is he fit or out of shape? Any illnesses or conditions? Any physical disabilities?
He’s quite fit, really. Probably a little more dexterous then the average person his age, excellent endurance whilst on the move or in a fight.

5. How does he move? Is he clumsy, graceful, tense, fluid?
His movements are fairly average- confident for the most part, but he is known to be clumsy and his movement really seems disjointed from his person. Essentially its muscle memory from Sora, so its not easy to describe him based off simple movement.

Fighting wise, he’s intensely graceful and fluid. And fast like you wouldn’t believe.

6. How attractive is this character physically? How does he perceive himself in the mirror?
Physically he’s nothing short of adorable. Maybe a little too thin faced, a little too shy and introverted, and so his attractive features are often offset by the negative expression and way he seems to hug the shadows. Undoubtedly he’s not in the slightest bit aware of attraction at all, never mind in his own features.

7. Describe his complexion. Dark, light, clear, scarred?
Very light. Not exceptionally pale, but creamy. He doesn’t seem to have any scars that would show above his clothes.

8. Describe his hair: color, texture, style.
Fluffy- spiky in a very punkish/jrock style. Varying between blonde and sandy brown, depending on the lighting.

9. What color are his eyes?
Sky blue.

10. Does the character have any other noteworthy features?
He does have quite the infamous pout and glare that seem to be a universal trait for people with others.

11. What are his chief tension centers?
…Idk?

12. What is the character's wardrobe like? Casual, dressy, utilitarian? Bright colors, pastels, neutrals? Is it varied, or does he have six of the same suit?
He has six of the same suit. Generally quite pallid in colour- tones of khaki, black, grey and white make up his wardrobe with only the slightest splash of red. Jewelry wise, he has a black and white ring on his middle and index finger and checkered wristband on his right side, and a cross styled pendent which is either a necklace, or a signature piece of his jacket.

13. Do his clothes fit well? Does he seem comfortable in them?
They fit quite well, but are loose and daggy. In comparison to Sora’ style, he seems to take a greater comfort in slightly more fitting clothes.

14. Does he dress the same on the job as he does in his free time? If not, what are the differences?
He wears the same outfit day in, day out. Aside from when he’s in bed.

15. You knew it was coming: Boxers, briefs or commando?
Black boxers. Its canon.

Speech
1. What does this character's voice sound like? High-pitched, deep, hoarse?
Low, shy, but friendly in the right situations. His voice pitches are more subtle and he can easily be taken for having a very monotone voice aside from very specific emotional situations.

2. How does he normally speak? Loud, soft, fast, evenly? Does he talk easily, or does he hesitate?
He’s a soft spoken person, but with enough confidence in his tone to make himself heard. He’s good at keeping his voice very even, but can hesitate during or before speaking.

3. Does the character have a distinct accent or dialect? Any individual quirks of pronunciation? Any, like, you know, verbal tics?
Nothing specific. He can grow shy to the point of stuttering.

4. What language/s does he speak, and with how much fluency?
English/Japanese, depending on the version of the series you play. Technically he only speaks the one language, and seems to have no problems with being articulate given the need.

5. Does he switch languages or dialects in certain situations?
Not at all.

6. Is he a good impromptu speaker, or does he have to think about his words?
He needs to think- given a situation where he needs to say something instantly, he’s liable to speak out in very disjointed, one letter sentences.

7. Is he eloquent or inarticulate? Under what circumstances might this change?
Depending, he can be both. He isn’t a genius and his usual language does give that away, but the things he does say in given situations are profound without drawn out terminology.

Mental and Emotional
1. How intelligent is this character? Is he book-smart or street-smart?
Street smart, and even then, only concerning specific things. There’s a lot he doesn’t know or simply hasn’t had the time to grasp or understand.

2. Does he think on his feet, or does he need time to deliberate?
Whilst fighting he’s quite good at making split-second decisions. Outside of this, he often pauses a fraction before speaking or acting- but can rush into things unthinkingly at times.

3. Describe the character's thought process. Is he more logical, or more intuitive? Idealistic or practical?
Intuitive to a fault. He’s constantly questioning everything due to a lack of knowledge and, past that, a lack of understanding. His curiosity on any subject, even something such as friends, seems unquenchable.

When he has the time to think about his actions, he’s more practical than idealistic. There’s nothing about him that speaks of being a daydreamer- he wants cold, hard facts, and works with those.

4. What kind of education has the character had?
From what we’ve seem. Talks around ice cream with Axel, training under Organization 13, and the possibility of schooling placed into his mind by DiZ.

5. What are his areas of expertise? What, if anything, is he interested in learning more about?
He can fight rather well- specifically, with the keyblade. His want to know more about the weapon borders well past the line of obsession. He also has a craving to understand more about his existence and Other, Sora.

6. Is he an introvert or an extrovert?
Introvert, for the most part. He can be social given the time to warm up to others.

7. Describe the character's temperament. Is he even-tempered or does he have mood swings? Cheerful or melancholy? Laid-back or driven?
He has mood swings. Horrible mood swings. He makes PMS look like child’s play.

Roxas is more likely to tilt towards melancholy and resigned than cheerful, though he can be happy- again, given the right circumstances. He’s intensely driven and his bite and bark are both as vicious as each other.

8. How does he respond to new people or situations? Is he suspicious, relaxed, timid, enthusiastic?
Timid and a little suspicious. He’s unlikely to warm up to many people, and makes a habit of connecting quickly to one or two people specifically who seem to have lots to teach him and smarts to share- mainly street smarts.

9. Is he more likely to act, or to react?
He’s more likely to react- Roxas isn’t the type to begin or push a situation unless someone pushes him first.

10. Which is his default: fight or flight?
Fight. Whilst he won’t act, as said above, his reaction will never be to hide in the corner. He will almost always react to things by pushing back and drawing his blade.

11. Describe the character's sense of humor. Does he appreciate jokes? Puns? Gallows humor? Bathroom humor? Pranks?
He does enjoy jokes, but aside from that there’s not a lot of canon happy times to go off. He certainly has a sense of humor, but its rarely seen. This is more due to the small handful of times he’s actually in a relaxed situation, rather than him canonly being represented as a hard ass.

12. Does the character have any diagnosable mental disorders? If yes, how does he deal with them?
None that are canon, but if he was in the real world quite possibly Post Traumatic Stress Disorder or psychosis.

13. What moments in this character's life have defined him as a person?
-Being created at all.

-Becoming Axel’s friend.

-Becoming Xion’s friend.

-Killing Xion.

-Being placed into the Digital Twilight Town by DiZ

-Having that world and his false sense of self ripped apart in six very fast days.

-Merging with Sora.

-Fighting Sora.

-Speaking with Namine on the Alter of Naught.

14. What does he fear?
He fears disappearing, and in an AU sense, he fears Sora’s reaction to finding out what he is, and the repercussions sure to come from the Organization after abandoning them.

15. What are his hopes or aspirations?
To find Kingdom Hearts, and Sora. AU wise, to continue existing.

16. What is something he doesn't want anyone to find out about him?
That he’s a Nobody. At this current point of time, canonly and AU wise, he’s been lead to believe by quite a few people that this is a very, very bad thing. Even worse is Sora finding out that he’s not only a Nobody, but Sora’s Nobody. Number 13 in the Organization they’re currently fighting against.

Relationships
1. Describe this character's relationship with his parents.
He doesn’t have any unless you count Sora and Ventus. His current relationship with Sora can be described as tense, but slowly growing into a friendship.

2. Does the character have any siblings? What is/was their relationship like?
Nope. Unless, again, you count Sora and Ventus.

3. Are there other blood relatives to whom he is close? Are there ones he can't stand?
He just doesn’t have any. At all. 

4. Are there other, unrelated people whom he considers part of his family? What are his relationships with them?
The concept of family isn’t one that Roxas has broached at all, so not really. He does have friends who, in the mindset and way he seems to regard them, might be taken as that close- but the concept is too unfamiliar for his character.

5. Who is/was the character's best friend? How did they meet?
His best friend was a man named Axel, who was the very second person he met when he began existing, and the very first to call him friend. Axel was sent to convince Roxas to join the Organization, and the two ended up having ice cream on the clock tower for the very first time.

6. Does he have other close friends?
Xion he…doesn’t remember anymore, unfortunately. And he doesn’t consider Hayner, Pence and Olette friends at this point, since the only versions of them he’s known have been digitized fakes.

7. Does he make friends easily, or does he have trouble getting along with people?
Not so much trouble- but he’s very awkward with new faces. It does take some time before he seems to warm up to people. Essentially, he relaxes after they continue to approach him.

8. Which does he consider more important: family or friends?
Friends, for the reasons slated above.

9. Is the character single, married, divorced, widowed? Has he been married more than once?
He’s single, and very liable to stay that way until he actually registers the concept of liking or loving.

10. Is he currently in a romantic relationship with someone other than a spouse?
There is an implied obsession between himself and Axel, as well as a subtle sweetness with Namine. Nomura is a fanservice whore.

11. Who was his first crush? Who is his latest?
Canonly implied, Axel, Xion and Namine.

12. What does he look for in a romantic partner?
Hell knows. 

13. Does the character have children? Grandchildren? If yes, how does he relate to them? If no, does he want any?
…I don’t even think he knows about the birds and the bees, never mind understanding the concept of children, growing up, sex, or babies.

14. Does he have any rivals or enemies?
Riku and DiZ. They are the two people he seems to loathe with a passion for their prior incursions onto his existence. His relationship with Sora could also be taken as a frustrated rivalry, at times.

15. What is the character's sexual orientation? Where does he fall on the Kinsey scale?
He’d either be a 3 or a very ironic X.

16. How does he feel about sex? How important is it to him?
I very highly doubt he even knows what sex really is, or has even heard the term.

17. What are his turn-ons? Turn-offs? Weird bedroom habits?
Zero, zilch, and zip.

Beliefs
1. Do you know your character's astrological (zodiac of choice) sign? How well does he fit type?
Technically he doesn’t have one, but he fits Virgo the best:

One the light side….

Modest and shy
Meticulous and reliable
Practical and diligent
Intelligent and analytical

On the dark side....

Fussy and a worrier
Overcritical and harsh
conservative
2. Is this character religious, spiritual, both, or neither? How important are these elements in his life?
Neither, but bordering spiritual, I suppose. Kingdom Hearts is based on the effects of specific things occurring to the ‘Heart’ or Soul, so in this sense the belief system is canonly quite spiritual anyway.

3. Does this character have a personal code of morals or ethics? If so, how did that begin? What would it take to compromise it?
His moral code seems to stem on his friends, as well as his influence from Sora. He’s not one to turn away from blatant wrongs, but at the same point, is more likely to side with his friends and attack for their sake than work for himself. There’s very few instances where he acts completely selfish, though both are heavily impactful to his story.

4. How does he regard beliefs that differ from his? Is he tolerant, intolerant, curious, indifferent?
In a manner of ways, he’s both curious and indifferent. He won’t rise against beliefs different from his own, because he has very few beliefs, himself. More likely, he’ll take the stance of listening and learning without regard to what he himself knows.

5. What prejudices does he hold? Are they irrational or does he have a good reason for them?
He has a prejudice against himself, seemingly. As a Nobody, his understanding about his right to exist is, quite simply- he doesn’t have one. This is in its own way quite irrational, but canonly this may also be questionably right. The effects he has by existing aren’t drawn upon very well at all.

Daily Life
1. What is the character's financial situation? Is he rich, poor, comfortable, in debt?
Its not drawn upon, really. Most of his life its not something he needs to worry about at all, as he’s been put up by the Organization. His lifestyle during Digital Twilight is a serious question mark.

2. What is his social status? Has this changed over time, and if so, how has the change affected him?
His social status has always been something of a pariah. He’s a means to an end, and treated differently for it. Within the Digital Twilight Town he and his friends have a mark seemingly against them as being punks, but his popularity close to the end is paramount after winning a certain tournament.

3. Where does he live? House, apartment, trailer? Is his home his castle or just a place to crash? What condition is it in? Does he share it with others?
Originally it was Castle Oblivion, though it seems he rarely spent much time there between missions. The only real location that seemed to have been his own was his room, which was filled with the basic necessities and little else. His room in Twilight Town seems to be a mixture stemming from Sora’s room And perhaps Ventus’ as well.

4. Besides the basic necessities, what does he spend his money on?
…Basic necessities. Fighting moves, magic, potions- things he needs to keep him alive. The only other expenditure that is canonly shown is ice cream, which seems to be his symbolic basis for friendship.

5. What does he do for a living? Is he good at it? Does he enjoy it, or would he rather be doing something else?
Technically his occupation has always been keyblade wielder. Its an occupation he’s good at- but one he finds too many blanks to. His approach to his tool of trade is actually quite resentful, at times.

6. What are his interests or hobbies? How does he spend his free time?
Eating ice cream on clock towers with friends. Any free time he does have seems to be mainly about his friends, and often its doing what they want to do if they aren’t eating ice cream and simply talking.

7. What are his eating habits? Does he skip meals, eat out, drink alcohol, avoid certain foods?
He has an ice cream obsession. This is the only canon towards his eating habits, so it can be taken as an indication that he has a sweet tooth.
