Profile

((This profile is purely for RPG purposes. It may contain spoilers for KHII, CoM, and 358/2.))

Once upon a time, there was a person. Unfortunately, we don't know anything about him except that he existed, and that his name was Lea, and he did some bad stuff in his life. Now, there is Axel, the Organization's number VIII, the Flurry of Dancing Flames.

Axel isn't human; like all of the Organization, he is what is called a Nobody. A Nobody isn't really a person; they are nothing more than remnants of the person that once was, and only very, very rarely - as in Axel's case - do they still retain a human appearance.

In the Kingdom Hearts cosmology, a Nobody is the body and soul of a person whose heart was lost to darkness. Without a heart to have either light or darkness, they are rejected by both sides. Axel is no different in this respect from any of the others.

However, contrary to the belief of a number of KHII protagonists, Nobodies - the higher-functioning ones, at any rate - are people, with personalities, and individual quirks. Axel is a skilled maipulator, when he wants to be; very good at playing both ends against the middle, so to speak. He claims, at one point, to never disobey an order, but it's quite evident that said orders are obeyed in the way that Axel best interprets them, not ncessarily how the issuer intended.

As a result, Axel is possibly the least predictable of the Organization XIII.

Like all his compatriots, Axel has an array of powers that come with his altered existence. As his appellation implies, his primary power is over fire. In a sense, he is fire; energetic, passionate, almost constantly in motion. All of the higher Nobodies are, to an extent, bound up in their element.

Additionally, there are an array of abilities that are common among all the higher Nobodies. These include the ability to raise a kind of barrier around an area - not uncommon in the KH canon, especially among the villains - and the ability to teleport after a fashion, by 'walking the dark paths.' This method of translocation appears to function within a given world, as well as allowing them to travel to other worlds via the aforementioned dark paths.

Another trait held in common with the other higher Nobodies is the control and dominion over a certain class or group of Nobodies. In Axel's case, they are the Assassins. It's worth noting that all the higher Nobodies seem to share certain traits with their minions - in Axel's case, this includes unnaturally swift movement, and a resistance to being knocked down.

Millicanon:

Axel's chakrams have been modified by Hephaestos. They have boosted power, and durability, among other things, and their appearance is much more like solidified fire. Following that, they were further modified by Yrael to repulse water, and to a lesser extent, ice. This last only functions in Yrael's world, Milliways, and any other place the Charter marks function.

To anybody with x-ray vision, or any other way of perceiving it, Axel has an extra set of ribs, and several additional vertebrae. Additionally, there are some structural abnormalities in his joints, when compared to a human.

As of this, Axel has a heart, and is no longer a Nobody. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the mun via AIM at Azremodehar.

Axel is from Kingdom Hearts (CoM, II), and is the property of Squeesney. He appears here solely for the purpose of role-playing in milliways_bar (and a few other places), from which no profit whatsoever is being made.
