[ Canon Point ] : After speaking with Sora, Namine and Kairi on the Altar of Naught, in The World That Never Was. Very close to the end of the game and Roxas’ second last appearance.
[ History ] :
Kindgom Hearts timelineRoxas’ storyline to date [ Personality ] :
Roxas is a Nobody, a being without a heart. However, he still seems perfectly capable of retaining emotions and in turn, the habits and reactions they cause, such as gaining an emotional attachment to the time he spends each evening having ice cream with Axel and Xion. It gives a lot of character to Roxas that sets him apart from Sora, and also from other Nobodies in general, since Nobodies seem to follow the character of their original self more often than not. When it comes to Roxas, he does have a completely different personality which isn’t based on time that’s passed.
In fact, when it comes down to it Roxas is strongly independent of Sora to the point where he rejects comparisons being made between them violently, stating quite often that “my heart belongs to me!” when others do bring this up. He takes this as far as attacking Sora in The World That Never Was, showing an intense resentment towards Sora and the Keyblade, only to be mollified once defeated.
Roxas often appears absent and aloof, and this seems to be largely due to the fact that he’s not sure how to engage to most situations, as proven by his hesitant response to Olette’s silent pleas for him to speak upon the first day in Twilight Town. Whilst he does understand the situation at hand, the best way to rectify it in a peaceable manner takes him several moments to formulate. He finds it easiest to respond to others in anger, an intense emotional reaction that does give an indication of perhaps not holding his own heart, but having emotions filter through him when they’re based upon the more extreme reactions.
Outside of these, Roxas appears to be quiet and distinctly calm. He’s not nearly as compulsive as Sora, and does tend to think about things before acting towards them. Whilst he’s still liable to help others, he has a greater sense of self preservation and a wariness towards other people that causes confliction with this hero styled influence, often only giving in because its, in the end, the ‘right’ path to follow.
His understanding of the world seems to revolve around his friends- their word is the end all of any debate, and he has been known to take their explanations far too seriously. He’s also liable to hurt others with rather blunt, honest information- not purposefully, but with a lack of understanding towards why being told certain things would hurt.
It’s this lack of knowledge that drives Roxas. There’s a need there, to understand himself and the world around him, and that is the essence that drives his person.
[ Strengths/Weaknesses ] :
Roxas’ abilities when unhindered are rather extensive. His element is light, something he uses to great affect. To quote someone directly, Roxas’ attributes seem to equate to “he can move so fucking fast that you will never be able to hit him and he will brutally assault you as you taper off his twenty-two bars of health”. It’s a fairly apt description.
With his full powers, Roxas is lightening fast, and his light based moves are heavy pillars of burning white as well as large balls that home in on his opponent. Weapon wise, he uses two keyblades, Oathkeeper and Oblivion, or a singular Kingdom Key- weapons in a key shaped style with the power to lock and unlock anything, including hearts.
He also holds the same abilities as Sora; magic such as fire, cure, and other elemental styles, and physically Roxas puts up a constant offensive of rushing forward and pummeling his enemies, trailing after them until they’re defeated.
His weaknesses really stem from a primary lack of knowledge towards himself and- everything else. He gets confused easily, though he takes this more maturely than he could. Even so enough questions on his plate can make Roxas falter.
He also falls short socially, almost seeming shy when really, there’s more lack of understanding in action. He’s a derp, that’s about it.
[ Other Important Facts ] :
Nothing else to speak of really?
[ Sample ] :
It was a bit different, but he thought that maybe it would grow on him. A far cry from the recesses of Sora’s heart, Roxas now had the chance to stretch his legs, work the kinks out of his muscles, stare at his hands without seeing right through them.
Yeah, it was nice.
He could only assume that nothing had happened to Sora after their brief talk. Yet, the fact that he was solid, warm, breathing- it left doubts, serious doubts that he needed to find answers to. One life constantly in exchange for the other was no way to live. The idea of having this comfortable respite because of Sora’s second demise wasn’t quite so comfortable.
It called for action. It called for…recon? Up till now, he’s been walking rather briskly, through the streets and around the crowds, anonymous through the sheer number of people passing by. But he stops short at the thought, nose wrinkling as he loses himself in thought, a partition of memory from his Organization days.
Recon required clear insight into ones surroundings. There were a lot of people- the city was larger than what he could see. The sun was blurred, seen through more than just the dome that covered the city landscape in every direction; perhaps they were underwater?
So many questions. Who knew how much time? He had some answers to find.

[ Questions? Comments? Concerns? ] :
I’m aping in now after speaking with both Axel and Xion’s muns- since their previous Roxas was only back briefly, I won’t actually be playing him for a few weeks, since they deserve some grieving time. Hope that’s okay? I’ve always wanted to play Roxas here so window of opportunity-
