Bio

♚ . ♛ . ♜ . ♝ . ♞ . ♟
⇛ Name: Roxas.
⇛ Age: 15.
⇛ Series: Kingdom Hearts.
⇛ Species: Nobody.
⇛ Gender: Male.
⇛ Occupation: He’s errand-boy to a gang of criminals.
⇛ Point of canon to be drawn in: Post-KH2.
⇛ Preferred level: Terra.

⇛ Personality: Roxas isn’t exactly what he appears to be. Not entirely, but at the same time-- hey. Sort of.

A little quiet, and he’s got a bit of a temper, but he’s still just about your average brat; however, the thing separating him from most brats his age is that he’s one driven little guy. He’s got a shopping list of things he wants-- hell, more like needs-- done. If that means balancing a part-time job and schoolwork, he’s okay with it. Whatever it takes, man. Whatever it takes.

But, y’know, there’s not much point to being driven if you don’t know where you’re going. Roxas only has a vague idea of what direction is up, and while he tries not to let that get him down, sometimes it’s almost too much. Without a map, you can end up feeling sort of down and out. Sorta empty, y’know? Don’t think you’d hesitate to call it a feeling of being not entirely whole. He’s tried to explain it to his friends, once or twice. But they didn’t really get it.

Roxas has been plagued by almost nightly dreams about a certain boy for years, and he doesn’t get what sort of message they’re supposed to send. They’re almost like watching old films, bits and pieces of old memories stuck together. It’s confusing as all hell, and not being as patient as he could be, Roxas wants the answers right now. A bad day for Roxas is usually one that starts by waking from a particularly troubling dream-- he’ll mill it over the entirety of the day, and might be a little more snappy than usual.

Not to say this kid is usually… snappy like that. Hell, no. Roxas is pretty easygoing-- he has his buttons that you’d probably just better not push, but other than that he’s some decent company.

⇛ False memories: First glance up and down: you see a sleepy, blonde teenage boy. Not notably skinny, not fat, normal. Not bad looking, but not jawdropping. Average kid, you might think. Not really worth noticing. And so, you continue on with your day.

Hell, it’s funny how first impressions can be so dead-on, yet so off-target. One hand: Roxas is a pretty regular kid. Likes to have fun, can laugh at a good joke, slacks off sometimes, and likes summer vacation more than the rest of the year. Other hand: he’s introverted, aggressive, untrusting, restless and above all else: knowledge hungry.

Y’see, when Roxas was around eleven-twelve years old, his mom was murdered in a very unpleasant way for apparently no reason. She was just a nice little housewife. Of course it was unexpected, but even more unexpected was how Roxas’ father fled after her death. Talk about incriminating. Cue the usual dramatics-- police coming to investigate, them finding no evidence whatsoever, and then Roxas finding himself landed in a crummy orphanage. Needless to say, he was not in the best of places. Let’s see. Mom is dead. Dad’s abandoned him. Yeah. Sounds enjoyable, doesn’t it. Along with discovering he’s comparable to a human flashlight, he’s really not in a good place.

It’s around this point in time that Roxas starts to forget things. No, not stuff that’s happened before the orphanage-- Roxas remembers being introduced to a few other kids in the orphanage, and forming a pretty tight bond with them all. Funny how after all that, he can’t even remember their names, their faces. There’s just the knowledge, this is what happened; not the same as remembering. Not even comparable.

He doesn’t know what’s made him forget. It’s like someone came into his head with a shovel and took a whole year out and away from him. From twelve till thirteen (and a half,) there’s nothing but blank spaces and a million questions bouncing around, why why why why? Don’t get me wrong, here, though-- it wasn’t just waking up in the morning and forgetting everything. It was slow, progressive-- and it was just key things. The dreams started up around then, too. (Dreams about some brunette boy. Sora.) He has no outstanding memories of that year, but knows that he should. Sounds pretty maddening, huh? Yeah, that’s right. It’s maddening enough that Roxas, over here, decides that he’s gotta seek this shit out.

The answers to all his questions.

There’s a few things he wants to know, first of all: why his mom was killed. Where his dad flew off to. Why the dreams? How does he know that name, Sora, without having ever met someone called that? Why can Roxas do what he can do?

Some of these things are going to be harder to answer than others. Some are more technical, more factual. Some might just be about self-discovery. So Roxas decides to do what he can-- and the easiest thing that can be done is trying to figure out what’s going on with mama and pops.

The police stations-- his first choice-- won’t hire him even as someone working the desks, ‘cause he’s far too young. They’re an official establishment. They have guidelines to follow. So after a crazy amount of searching-- he finds the right guy. A criminal head who doesn’t care much for those guidelines but rather for a good cup of steaming coffee in the morning and someone to deliver what can’t be sent electronically. Roxas is just who he’s looking for. Obviously the guy doesn’t share all the detailing of their going-ons with him, but if Roxas hangs around at the right times he can sometimes hear a tidbit. He hates to stoop so low, but whatever it takes, right? Yeah.

It’s not exactly his ideal, but it’s a start as good as any.
