[keykid-questions]

Where was your keykid during the Keyblade War?

Were they chosen as a Dandelion and avoided it? Did they fight alongside their Union? Or perhaps something else entirely?

OK KHUX PEOPLE COME HERE. i have a question. i’ll admit i’m not the most intense khux fan so if there’s evidence to dispute/prove this i don’t know but OPINION. do you think there’s non-keybearer adults in daybreak town or do you think other than the foretellers there’s NO adults in daybreak town

for the longest time i’ve imagined daybreak as a town made entirely of orphaned kiddos and maybe a few union kids who actually grew up to become adults

BUT idk what the general opinion is.

on this note lemme know what u think about characters’ families and such.

[zonerz]

your alvi character is soooo cute and cool looking i love him…

OMG 🥺 TYSMMM He’s my pride and joy and I love him so so much!!! I have sm I still wanna do with him and I'm so so excited for KHML to get him back into the action! 🫶 Unfortunately that also means he will, on some level, being Going Thru It but that's a small price to pay for more content of my boy <3 <3 <3

I hope u dont mind me taking this moment to ramble abt his general deal and vibe bc I feel like my thoughts are all scattered throughout my art with him 😭🙏 Will add a cut and reading past is ofc optional but TYSM for the interest in general! His design is so fun to doodle and he’s got a whole Dreamhouse Closet of fits 👍

But!! Basically in UX my boy joined Vulpes and got his keyblade on his bday, Dec. 25th when he turned 13-14 or so :] he started out on his own and was pretty quiet but very compassionate which paid off in the long run and got him some good friends (both in the form of Ephemer and co. and then with my friends' keykids Vivian and Vial--highly rec checking out their art too btw !!! @thequibblingking13 and @thatalien404 I love Vial and Vivi so so much as well 🥺)

As he pulled in these new friendships (and in the case of Vivi and Vial, practically family/siblingship) Alvi ends up having that compassion fuel him to become more skilled with his keyblade, learn more about how to best guilt and use medals, the best ways to Raid, etc. in order to be able to both protect/keep the people he loves safe as well as to be a teacher. He loved exploring new worlds and helping people in general and I think would end up being the kinda general Big Brother FigureTM who other kids could run to with questions--especially as he got into his later teens.

He ends up learning quite fast and scaling up pretty exponentially compared to some of his peers and, in general, ends up fairly competitive with the weekly rankings and PVP (friendly still, but ready to give it his all) and with that, he ends up taking that protector role more seriously as he becomes more competent. By the time the War really comes around when he's like 15-16, he ends up sticking around to fight in the hopes of shouldering as much weight as he can in the place of others, as well as wanting to shield Vivi and Vial as best as he can.

Though things definitely do get murkier as he gets stronger. I think that he'd always been a bit more open/neutral to darkness as a concept. He knows it can corrupt but would use it in small increments, however those would become larger and be used more often as time passed in trade for more strength--more capability. It would culminate at it's most out of control/chaotic when fighting with the Foretellers (shoutout to Ira who reflected every light attack BTW. like okay bro. u asked for this ig 😐) where he'd really just let loose and give it all, though it'd leave him weak and also pretty freaked out. Plus the whole almost dying thing definitely adds to that 😭 so he'd rein things in dramatically after waking up from the war.

As for the amnesia about the war, things shift a little bit here and I think he'd sorta wake up to reality pretty quick, especially with the nightmares. He loves Chirithy but his was never the best at lying, and despite whatever bumps in the road he and Ephemer had, he doesn't anticipate that he'd ever lie straight to his face. So when he confronts Skuld and Ephemer about it all? Well, they hesitate enough to tell him something's up at the very least--as he suspected. He's sympathetic to his friends' new position as defacto leaders though and, being a pretty natural leader-type himself, knows how precarious of a situation it is regarding information on the war. It's horribly distressing for him to remember everything to say the least, and he figures himself pretty capable of handling it, so the thought of having so many of the other kids remember en masse and just start hurting despite it being over just leaves him feeling sick. He doesn't like lying either though, and it feels wrong to hide such a huge event--which the others sympathize with bc damn they're dealing with that conflict too 😭 But, ultimately, Alvi agrees to remain quiet about the whole ordeal--even to Vivi and Vial whom he shared everything with. Which creates. Problems. 😬

In the weird mundane time they spend in the digital daybreak before things start glitching and life is just continuing "as usual" Alvi ends up inadvertently pulling back from Vivi and Vial (as they can tell something is Up) and gets closer to all of the Union Leaders! I really think he'd get along well and have unique but fun friendships with each and every one of them :> There's already that like Besties Bond with Ephemer and Skuld, but I think he'd really love Ven, Brain, and Lauriam, too. He and Lauriam would be the tallest two of the bunch and I think would lowkey prod each other about it in a mini competition as they both continued growing, he would ADORE Ven and love carrying him on his shoulders and such, and I think would just be chill and funny with Brain. Put them in a room together and the sarcasm level doubles 🤝

When Vivi and Vial finally figure things out abt the War tho, and that Alvi was actively lying to them, ehm... 😬 Things begin going downhill FAST from there. He doesn't really have any good explanation for himself as he just wanted to protect them at his core, but it was still not the best way to probably deal with it. That said though, what's WORSE is how he responds to the question of whether he'd do it again and uh. Well. 🤡🤡🤡

So suffice to say, Vivi and Vial feel pretty damn betrayed and generally angry at him but Alvi has hope they can patch things up and get it all sorted out. But with each attempt to be more transparent about things, Alvi keeps having to clam up because a lot of the stuff he's been doing have been with the Union Leaders and needs to remain kinda lowkey, so he ends up being unable to really tell that much which just comes across as condescending at best for Vivi and Vial. And then the glitches start showing up 🧍‍♂️

Alvi, in the midst of trying to both apologize and explain once more to them both, gets pulled away to go help Ephemer investigate what's going on at the Clocktower. He leaves his little siblings with the promise that, the very moment he comes home, he will tell them everything and share everything about all the worlds he's seen since--just like how things used to be. They have his word! And it's still shaky ground but a potential light at the end of the tunnel! But, well, then he and Ephemer end up in Game Central Station and things get very out of hand very fast. The end of the game unravels faster than they can keep up and the last "interaction" Alvi has with his siblings is Vivi crumbling in her own fight across town as the feeling of Alvi getting that hit to the heart from Ephemer echoes through to her oTL

The end of UX makes me SO. AUGH. I feel like I've already talked a lot but there's just So Much in my head for my poor little guy and MAN. His end would follow the canon ending of the game pretty closely. He'd stick around with Ephemer and Skuld and help see the other Leaders off in the Ark with the intention to go grab Vial and Vivi and get them inside to safety before things go wrong again. One little thing I wanna draw or poke at somehow tho is that like, I think he'd give little mementos/gifts to the others before they send them off in the ARK. To Brain and Lauriam, he'd give them each one of his earrings, Elrena would get his neon bracelets, and Ven would get a moogle chain he always kept on his dufflebag :>

As for the final fight. MANNNN. I think that Alvi would be able to put on a pretty convincing act and, somewhat bitterly, kinda goes down the line of like "Well, I really am a liar lately, so what's one more?" and he'd go all-in to ensure Ephemer was pushed to his limit. WHICH SUCKS AND HURTS MY HEART TO THINK ABOUTTT. But he'd pull it off, and he'd get that shot to the heart, and I think in that fight it's poetic if he was fighting more in a stance like YX than usual. Smth smth foreshadowing also legacy etc. 🫶🫶🫶 He'd go out proud and happy, even if it was immensely bitter knowing the last memories his friends all shared with him.

Suffice to say I have SOOOO many thoughts abt him and I am SO excited for Missing Link to do a round 2 bc I have a rough idea of what I wanna do for his arc/character-wise on his second time around and I am also so hyped to get Brain back 🥺🥺🥺 I think their friendship is going to be so so crucial to Alvi in ML and I cannot WAIT to get into it!!! And OFC THE WHOLE RAISING OF XEHANORT??? MANNNNN. He would love Xehanort with everything he had. It's so bittersweet that he would've passed before Xeha started learning how to do a whole lot with the keyblade and got all manipulated by destiny bc like. Alvi would not be perfect, but he would've loved to train him himself. Which like also ik I'm #Coping and whatever but I'm just gonna say that Alvi, after passing in KHDR, is just chilling in Quadratum bc I'm sorry but he's far too stubborn to die and just leave his son behind so soon 🫶 I only have memes with them so far but I truly believe that Alvi and Xeha have a Like Father Like Son dyanmic thang going on. A long line of guys with something wrong with them 🫶💖

ANYWAYS IVE ALREADY TALKED SO MUCH AND COULD GO ON, APOLOGIES, BUT I LOVE LOVE LOVE MY LITTLE GUY AND ALL THE PREQUEL KEYKIDS SM ‼‼‼💖💖💖

KH OC Week 2023 - Day 7

*Rubs hands evilly* I've been waiting for this prompt. It's focused on Eileen because she's the Keykid that actually gets a happy ending. There was a different version of this oneshot, but I liked this one way better. It's been really amazing to see everyone's OCs. I can't wait for next year.

@khoc-week

Day 7: Happily Ever After

Three years had passed since the destruction of Daybreak Town. Eileen wounded up at what once used to be her home. Miraculously, Ephemer had as well. She hoped that their companions had too, but they hadn't. Gathering pieces of Daybreak Town, she and Ephemer reformed it into what was now called Scala ad Caelum. The silent and lonely streets gradually filled with more residents.

The painful moments of the past lingered but Ephemer and Eileen found solace in each other. Often times, Eileen would catch Ephemer staring off into the distance with a melancholy expression. Whenever she asked him if he was alright, he would smile and act like nothing was wrong but Eileen knew that something was bothering him. 

"Are you okay, Eileen?"

Ephemer's question caused the brunette to blink and tear her gaze away from the sky, turning towards him. They were standing near the ocean, the breeze ruffling their hair. As Eileen stared at Ephemer, she noted how his appearance had changed over the years. He had grown a few feet taller and his hair was still messy as ever. He no longer had the round and chubby cheeks of a young boy. Instead, his face was chiseled and sharp as stone. As for Eileen herself, she had grown taller as well and let her hair grow out to her waist. 

Smiling, Eileen nodded. "Yeah. I'm okay. Just thinking."

"Of what?" Ephemer asked curiously.

"Of how long we've been here. It's been three years."

"It really has been that long, huh?"

Eileen saw a flash of emotion in Ephemer’s eyes. Sorrow. Once more, she gazed up at the sky. Her mind drifted to a memory from the past: A memory that had brought them to their current fate. 

Eileen was taking a stroll around Daybreak Town when she saw a rift of static energy manifest above the Clock Tower. She decided to investigate, bumping into Ephemer and Ophelia in the process. It seemed that they were doing the same thing she was as well. The trio went to the Clock Tower, meeting the other Union leaders there. After a discussion of what to do regarding the strange occurrence that were glitches, Ephemer and Ophelia traveled to a world within the database while the others remained in the computer room.

After minutes of awaiting the news, Ephemer returned. Trouble arose then. Lauriam argued with everyone about the whereabouts of his sister, Strelitzia. He attacked Ventus when the younger boy said that it was him who had killed Strelitzia, prompting everyone to stop Laurium from attacking him. Suddenly, a shadowy figure emerged from Ventus and explained that it was Darkness and the reason for Strelitzia's death. This started a fight, but the Union leaders and Eileen couldn't defeat it. It was too powerful. However, Ophelia arrived to provide assistance. 

The group split up for some time, eventually regrouping along with a girl named Elrena. Returning to the computer room, they saw the destruction of the real Daybreak Town. There were eight of them but only five lifeboats were available. Brain, Lauriam, Ventus, and Elrena went back while the other four stayed behind. 

"You should've gone back too, Eileen." Ophelia said. 

In response, the brunette shook her head. "No. I'm a Dandelion, but I'm your friend first so I'm staying."

"Do you think they made it back safely?" asked Skuld. 

"Of course. Brain's with them." Ephemer replied.

"Yeah. He's always got a plan unlike someone I know." Ophelia chimed in.

Ephemer seemed offended by that statement, his eyes blown wide as he glanced at the blonde from over his shoulder. "Hey!"

Bursts of laughter then filled the room. Eileen hadn't felt like this in forever. She couldn't remember the last time she had fun. Like every other Keyblade wielder, she was going on missions and collecting Lux so they didn't have much opportunities to do anything else.

A few minutes of silence passed before Skuld spoke up. "I can't believe the world is ending."

Ephemer nodded in agreement. "Yeah. It's so quiet." 

Eyes widening, Ophelia quickly turned around. "Guys." She summoned Starlight in her hand. "Guys!" 

Four Darknesses had surrounded the group. One asked them to open a gate, but Ephemer refused. He and the other Keyblade wielders were going to engage in battle when Ophelia suddenly attacked Ephemer. Their Keyblades clashed as the silver-haired boy quickly defended himself.

“Ophelia! What’s wrong?!” 

Skuld’s Keyblade vanished and she rushed over to Ophelia, putting her hands on her shoulders. “Stop!” 

Ophelia elbowed the girl hard enough to send her crashing to the ground. Eileen watched in confusion and terror. It didn’t make sense. She was fine just moments ago. What had made her behave this way?

“What happened to you, Ophelia?!” 

“Ophelia’s heart has been lost to darkness.” Ophelia declared, her usual delicate voice becoming monotone. 

Skuld raised her head, despair wavering in her eyes. “No…”

Ephemer couldn’t believe it. There was no way that his friend would fall to darkness that easily. “Ophelia!” 

“She cannot hear you.”

“Wait. Are you—?”

“I am formless. You cannot destroy me.” 

Rising to her feet, Skuld turned to face Ophelia. “I thought we’d dealt with you…”

“Ophelia…” Without warning, Ephemer was struck by the blonde and collided with the floor. 

Ophelia walked towards him, her expression holding nothing but emptiness. “Open a gate and she will be returned.” 

Ephemer weakly stood up, brows furrowed. “No.” 

Skuld and Eileen joined him to fight Ophelia, but it was futile. She had bested them. All three Keyblade wielders laid on the ground, breathing heavily from the intense battle. Ophelia walked behind an unconscious Skuld and stared down at her. 

“If only you’d gotten in the lifeboat.”

Using his arms to sit himself up, Ephemer pleaded. “Stop… Ophelia…”

"Snap out of it…" whimpered Eileen.

“Let your hatred grow.” Ophelia mused, raising her Keyblade over her head. “It fuels us.”

Realizing what she was going to do, Ephemer screamed. “No!!!” 

A beam of white light formed from the tip of his Keyblade which pierced Ophelia’s heart as she prepared to slay Skuld. All of a sudden, a portal appeared behind her and the four Darknesses. 

It was like everything had happened in slow motion. As Ophelia and the Darknesses were being drawn into the portal, Eileen could’ve sworn that Ophelia was looking at her and mouthing something. Then, she and the enemy vanished. 

Ephemer blinked, his expression morphing into horror upon what he had just done to his dear friend. “I’m sorry.” He shut his eyes, lips pursed as he attempted to keep his composure. “I’m so sorry…”

“... leen? Eileen? Hey. What’s wrong?”

The brunette lifted her head from staring at the ground, her eyes widened slightly as she gazed at a concerned Ephemer. “Huh?”

“You’re crying…”

Placing a hand onto her cheek, Eileen felt something wet. A sniffle escaped her and she soon broke down. She couldn’t hold it in anymore. It was too much. 

A look of surprise appeared on Ephemer’s face before he smiled and brought Eileen into a hug. He allowed her to cry into his chest, his arms around her body tightening. “It's okay. Let it all out."

They had both suffered a great deal. They lost their previous home and allies they once knew. Things would never return to how they used to be. 

Ephemer lightly patted Eileen on the back. "I'm glad you're here, Eileen."

Eileen's cries and whimpers increased by the minute, her tears staining Ephemer's jacket. Ephemer didn't mind one bit as he rubbed circles onto her back, trying to comfort her as best he could. Eventually, Eileen calmed down and took a step back, rubbing her eyes.

“You should go."

“Right. Do you want to come with me?"

“Sure.”

“Okay. Let’s go, then.”

Ephemer held his hand out to Eileen who took it without a second thought. Then, they started to head to their location. As they walked, Eileen smiled as she looked down at their intertwined hands. Even though they had been through so much anguish, she was happy right now. They soon entered a building with a massive room and a group of adolescents sprinted towards them with bright smiles.

“Master Ephemer! Eileen!”

“What are you going to teach us today, Master Ephemer?!”

Ephemer laughed at their enthusiasm. “Settle down. We’ll be starting soon.”

“Eileen,” One of the students, a girl, began. "Are you and Master Ephemer going to get married?”

Eileen almost choked. “W-What?”

"It's just that the two of you are very close. Master Ephemer treats you like a lady.”

“Yeah!” A male student agreed.

“Um… Well…” Eileen felt heat rise to her cheeks and she scrambled to find the right words to say. She and Ephemer were just friends. Nothing more, nothing less. At least, that was what she kept telling herself. “It’s true that Ephemer and I are close, but we're just friends."

“What? Really?”

A female student slumped forward, disappointed by Eileen's reply. "Aw. I think you'd make a good couple."

“All right, all right. That’s enough.” Ephemer chuckled. “Let’s start training, shall we?”

Eileen waved a hand in farewell to the apprentices, then faced Ephemer, her lips curled slightly. "I'll see you later, Ephemer."

The young man returned the smile and nodded. "Yeah. I'll see you later."

Turning on her heel, Eileen left the training grounds and made her way home. Her gaze flitted to the cobblestone road as the words of the apprentices rang in her ears.

She and Ephemer were both at that age where marriage was possible. Their relationship was close-knitted to the point where one could call them lovers. Deep in her heart, Eileen wanted them to be. Yet, she feared being rejected and ruining what they had now.

“Hey, Eileen. Where are you heading off to?”

She froze and glanced over her shoulder, noticing a young man with mid-length turquoise hair. The top section of it was tied into a short ponytail. His eyes were orange. If Eileen remembered correctly, his name was Gavin. He was arrogant and never cared for anyone else but himself so Eileen avoided interacting with him. However, she forced on a smile. "Hi, Gavin. I'm going home. Why?"

Gavin shrugged his shoulders. "Just wondering. Wanna hang out with me for a bit?"

"No, thanks. I'm tired."

"Sheesh. You're such a killjoy. Come on. Just this once. I'm so bored."

"Fine..." Eileen sighed defeatedly.

A grin broke out onto Gavin's face. "Great! Follow me!"

Eileen reluctantly followed him, spending the rest of her day in the city. Gavin dragged her around like luggage to his favorite spots, talking her ear off while doing so. Before long, the sky was tinged orange from the evening sun. Eileen and Gavin were seated on a bench that overlooked the ocean, gazing at the sunset as it disappeared into the line of the horizon.

"I've been wondering about this for a while." Gavin said, breaking the silence. "How long have you liked Ephemer?"

Eileen whipped her head towards him, astonished. "Huh?"

Gavin looked at the young woman with narrowed eyes. "Don't play dumb. I've seen the way you look at him."

For a few minutes, Eileen was silent. She furrowed her brows, a slight blush on her cheeks. "Yeah. I do. I've liked him ever since we were kids."

"You should tell him that."

Eileen averted her gaze to the ground. "I probably won't."

"How come?"

"You're really annoying."

Gavin smirked. "Yeah. I get that a lot." He placed one of his hands behind his head, humming quietly. "Seriously, though. Why aren't you gonna tell Ephemer?"

"Because he would never like someone like me. He never will." Eileen let out a sigh before continuing on. "I had a friend named Ophelia. She liked Ephemer too. I was jealous of her. But compared to her, I... I'm just..."

Before she knew it, tears pooled at the corner of her eyes. She let out a shaky breath, trying to not let them fall. However, it was no use. The tears built up until they couldn’t be contained anymore and rolled down her cheeks. Eileen sniffled, wiping her face with the back of her hand. 

Gavin sat in silence, not knowing how to ease her worries. All of a sudden, a voice from behind him and Eileen caught their attention.

"Eileen?" Ephemer stood a few inches away from the bench, concerned.

Rising to his feet, Gavin maintained eye contact with Eileen. "Well, I guess that's my cue to leave. Bye, Eileen. Good luck."

Eileen watched as his figure disappeared from view. She tensed as Ephemer replaced him, turning her head the opposite way so that he wouldn't see her tears. Ephemer frowned and cupped her face with both hands, making her gaze into his eyes.

"I've been looking all over for you. What's wrong? Did he make you cry?" The silver-haired man declared, brushing her tears away.

"No..."

"What happened?"

Eileen went quiet, considering whether or not to tell him. A deep sigh then left her mouth. “I don’t deserve this. I don’t deserve to be with you. Ophelia should be here. Not me.”

Ephemer was bewildered. "What? Don't say that, Eileen. Ophelia has a special place in my heart, but I like having you here." He smiled, gently grasping her hands in his. "You've kept me company and reassured me when I needed it. I wouldn't know what to do without you. So, thank you. Thank you for staying with me." 

Pursing her lips, Eileen pondered yet again if she should voice out her thoughts. “I... I love you. I’ve always had. You're so nice. You gave me courage to fight and hope for a better future. But there's no way you would like me. I wasn’t like Ophelia. I’m boring, stupid, and useless.”

For a couple of minutes, Ephemer was silent. He had a serious expression on his face which made Eileen nervous. Why was he staring at her like that?

"That's not true." Ephemer announced.

"Huh?"

"You're the complete opposite of what you said.” 

With a smile, Ephemer caressed Eileen's knuckles with the pads of his thumbs. “You’re the nicest and strongest girl that I know. I've said it before, and I'll say it again. I’m glad that you’re here, Eileen. When I'm too focused on other things instead of myself, you're always looking after me. I'm grateful. To be honest, it should be me that doesn't deserve you. I've caused you, Ophelia, and so many others a lot of trouble." A shade of pink engulfed his cheeks. "Remember that question about us getting married earlier? I… I wouldn't mind if that happened." 

"What?"

"I'm serious. I want to spend the rest of my life with you."

Eileen could've pinched herself at that very moment. This wasn't a dream, was it? "Really?" 

"Really." 

"You’re not joking, right?"

Ephemer swept a loose strand of Eileen’s hair away from her face, resting his hand on her cheek once more. "No, I'm not. I want to be with you as more than a friend. If you'll let me." 

Eileen was at a loss for words. This had to be a dream. However, she didn't want to wake up. After a few moments, she spoke. “Is it really okay for me to be with you?" 

"Of course it is. Can I… kiss you?"

Blushing, Eileen nodded and replied in a quiet voice. “Yeah.”

Closing the distance between them, Ephemer pressed his lips onto hers gently. The hand that was on the brunette's cheek trailed down to wrap around her waist and tug her closer. Eileen placed her free hand on his shoulder, wondering if he could hear the rapid thumping of her heart. 

Soon, Ephemer pulled away and leaned his forehead against hers, giving her a sweet smile. "I hope that was okay." 

"Yeah. I liked it." Eileen giggled.

Ephemer chuckled, eyes crinkling in pure glee. "No matter what happens, I'll still be by your side. I don't know what else is waiting for us, but we'll face it together." 

In the warmth and safety of each other's embrace, the newfound lovers shared another kiss. Everything would be alright. They had each other. As long as that remained, they could overcome any obstacles.

hmmmm. that blog about keykid questions intrigues me.......... maybe i'll queue up some info about my khux + khml keykid. do you ever just make a guy by looking at xehanort and going "what kind of person would have raised you?" and end up getting really attached to the results

[crystaltikal]

Hello!! Sorry for the ask out of nowhere, I hope that this is okay

I'm the mod of @keykid-questions! I just wanted to say thank you so much for sharing your answers to some of the questions I've been posting there - they've been really neat to see so far, and I'd love to hear more about your keykid if you have any more info about her ^-^

Well, she is a member of Vulpes Clan. She is quiet and shy, and loves to read. She tends to get nervous around other people, though that happens less after she stands up to the disguised Master Ava in the Foretellers' room. She develops a huge crush on Ephemer. She prefers to use Lady Luck and Diamond Dust as her Keyblades. While I haven't decided on if it's canon to her story yet, I have an AU where the Hercules world crossed over with Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles instead of Final Fantasy VII and she met my Crystal Chronicles OC. I picked her outfit because I liked the cute design and color scheme, but in-universe, it's because she liked the look, and the salesmoogle convinced her they were just fancy clothes.

What does your keykid think of Daybreak Town?

Do they like it as a world? What’s their favourite area within it?

[goldensunset]

Hihi I have just fallen into the khux rabbit hole VERY hard and I just want to say thank u for all your posts I have so much to think about <3 I am currently making a powerpoint for my friends to explain all of it and I'm going to use the lore quiz u made at the end as well so thank u for making that!!!! Also ur keykid is super cute and I love their design!!!! tyty & have a lovely day!!!!

hihi good morning this is so sweet? i hope you enjoy the khux rabbit hole (there is no getting out) and i am very flattered you like my posts ✨ i hope my lore quiz still holds up bc i made it over a year ago so who knows what i might have put in it (some people have since offered criticism of some of the questions since i was trying real hard to make it interesting but i think it was fine? should be good to go) also complimenting my keykid … waaahhhh tysm i hope i can do more with her

oh and one other thing i should mention: a lot of the posts you may be seeing were made pre-khml trailer, pre-khdr finale, or even pre-kh4 announcement. which will very much change the context. like our understanding of certain aspects of the story of khux has been changed with more recent information so just keep that in mind and make sure to check out khdr as soon as you have the mental room for it! the khux lore quiz i think acknowledges part of khdr because it was made after the finale lol

[jasmariswonderland]

I have so many questions about Shiori. Do they represent the player character? What Union are they in? Are they Yuulan's reincarnation? Are you going to introduce them in this year's KH OC Week? Sorry for the rambling. I'm very curious. XD

Hello! You're good, I like when ppl are curious about my characters! :)

I'm currently working on a proper bio for Shiori and I do plan to introduce her during KH OC Week this year. But I will share a little about her now! 💖

Shiori is not the player but a member of the Unicornis union prior to the keyblade war and joining the Dandelions. And yes, Yuulan IS her reincarnation! I imagine that during the "break" of the data Daybreak Town, there were more keykids who chose reincarnation instead of sleep besides the player and Shiori was one of them.

Friendship-wise, she was closest to Elrena but she had a very big (and maybe one-sided) crush on her Dandelion union leader Brain. They had a pretty close friendship too which pours over into her next life with Yuulan finding herself strangely drawn to him (and not knowing why) when he arrives in Scala.

KHOC WEEK 2022 DAY 1: APPEARANCE

Bonus Round

So, I've been alternating between being sick (nothing serious, just bad allergies) and being stumped for how to approach OC Week this year, which means I got exactly zero Prep done ahead of time 😅. I do have a lady I'd like to talk more about this year, someone we haven't seen since a small appearance or two in the very first OC Week, and I do plan to try to get some stuff done later tonight, though if I don't get new stuff done I'll be sharing some old stuff for various OCs that I don't think I've put on Tumblr yet throughout the week. In that vein, just so you guys aren't high and dry in the mean time, I'm gonna share some of my Keykids with you all, since I have some references for them on hand. Consider this a bonus.

One thing to note is that none of these kids suffer the Canon fates of the KHUX kids, and in their storyline the main character role was filled by an acquaintance of theirs called, well, M.C. 😅 gonna try to keep these descriptions somewhat brief, but don't be afraid to ask questions if you want to know more!

Obligatory tag: @khoc-week

RIE

Rie's story is... Complicated... Mostly because I've never decided exactly where I want to go with it. She's just such a flexible character that I greatly enjoy playing with different scenarios with her, haha. Some things that always stay the same is that she's a strength based Keyblade Weilder from the Vulpes Union, she ends up separated from her best friends at the end of KHUX, and, just as we see many other familiar keyblades in the hands of keykids, Rie was a previous Kingdom Key weilder. She's very protective of her two best friends, and she just might have a soft spot for a certain rose boy. She gets two "Adult" looks to represent different versions of her story, and in certain outcomes both could appear.

In certain outcomes of her story she ends up on a familiar set of Islands, in others she becomes a keyblade master. In some others she has children, and in yet another kind she gets thrown to the future to help our dearly beloved cast. In the ones she has children in she begins a family line that results in some familiar faces.

PAX

Pax's story is more simple. He's a magic based keyblade weilder and one of Rie's two best friends. He's very quiet and bookish, and he falls head over heels for Ephermer. At the end of KHUX he and his two friends get separated, tossed across the worlds by a chaotic burst of energy when their path home gets destroyed. He does end up reuniting with Ephermer at least, and the two spend the rest of their days together. His (currently unnamed) keyblade has a staff form change that he prefers over the traditional sword form.

Wisteria

Ah Wisteria... Believe it or not, I've teased her before. It's her journal that Echo finds and starts translating Sister AU [link] She's also the third member of Rie and Pax's trio. She's another magic based keyblade weilder (Rie has her hands full acting as their tank, lemme tell you) and she has a deathly fear of being forgotten. She normally keeps a bright and bubbly exterior, but underneath the poor thing is often a walking bundle of nerves. When she gets separated from her two best friends at the end of KHUX she ends up in the newborn world of The Refuge [link] along with a small handful of other people who've lost their homes for various reasons. Being the kind person she is she can't help but reach out to help her fellow castaways and ends up becoming a leader in the small town that soon forms. Her Keyblade, Comet Tail, has a bow form change.

---

There is one AU in which the gang gets to come back together, and they all end up becoming Masters in the newly created Scala ad Caelum. This is one of the AUs in which Rie has her children and the trio plus Ephermer raise them as a big happy family. Here's a look at the kiddos, Natsuki and Tomomi.

I wrote down some stuff about my keykid, now one year after KHUx shutdown. Nothing is really set in stone, but it’s the Basics. Preparing myself for Missing Link and all lol

It got quite long and also has some side information about this “canon” I have here. But pretty much all of the UX story happened here in context of what I wrote down for my keykid.  Her name is Aquanort. 

Character Info:

Vulpes

Starlight, Stroke of Midnight, and Counterpoint are her main keyblades

Aro/Ace

Quite the loner, likes to do things alone, appreciates silent company

Selective mute

Hyper focuses on the collection of Lux / battling Heartless

Keeps her thoughts to herself, bottles up emotions

SIde information to this canon: The Foretellers and Union Leaders

The gameplay of khux is canon in here, meaning that medals, jewels, outfit boards, banners are all a thing

They are made by the Foretellers and later by the Union Leaders

It’s not known who among the Foretellers did what, but the Union Leaders were open about it

Brain, Ephemer: Gacha banner distribution, Medal selection

Ephemer, Skuld: Medal attributes (what medal does what etc.), distributing the Quests

Ventus: drawing the outfits

Lauriam: finalizing the outfits, searching for “event heartless” to fight

Brain, Skuld: Jewel distribution

Brain, Lauriam: Spirit parts (obv.)

Yeah people came yelling at them. About everything. Lmao.

Story:

typical RPG trope of "can't remember her past", woke up in Daybreak Town with no memories (i actually only have no clue about a backstory sorry)

just went along with things because she doesn't know what else to do

was pretty average until she got the Bangle from the strange Chirithy

she quickly learned that it apparently collected "dark energy", she questioned that a lot internally, but everyone around her seemed not to care so …

… she also felt like she was one of the few people who actually figured out how to use this Bangle (Guilt / Special Attack Bonus, thanks SENA)

started to dive deeply into the ways of using the power of the keyblade, aka she knows which medal is currently the Real Shit, and handles her jewels smart

This of course fuelt the Guilt gathered and it didn't take her long to see that this is indeed the Power of Darkness all her guildmates were afraid of. But no one really ??? cared or saw ???

anyways she met Ephemer and was just "finally a gay person i can trust" and this is why they are friends. The same goes for Skuld.

the Sewer Squad kinda adopted her because "man she could use some friends you know". She appreciates it, but is wary around them. Doesn’t talk to them much.

Anyways darkness inside her grows because of the collected Guilt and it manifests into the wings she has. They are cool looking and everyone thinks it's an ornament she's wearing. (it's not)

she doesn't want to join the Dandelions because, well. She's aware she's not a light that should carry on. She wonders deeply why Ava asks her in the first place.

She feels her duty is to fight in the keyblade war. She can't be the only one with this darkness gathered from the Bangle!

She is honest to god not surprised to know that the Nightmare Chirithy comes from her. But she wields that darkness better than it and defeats it.

Oh she goes rampage in the keyblade war. Yes she fights other keyblade wielders besides the Foretellers. She's goddamn upset that no one saw this darkness growing inside everyone.

after she got saved by Ephemer and Skuld and forgot the events of the Keyblade War, her mind is a complete jumbled mess and she talks to no one for weeks

She absolutely does not have a drive at all, missing this drive of wanting to fight in the keyblade war. And apparently there wasn’t one! Everything she did felt like a lie.

She sometimes just laid around the fountain square all day like a starfish just to avoid talking to people. She’s really going through it.

Ephemer found her like this one day and she was fucking embarrassed but at least it was Ephemer who talked to her.

to find some purpose again she dived deeply into fighting and Lux collecting

Raid Bosses, special events, etc.

while not having many friends / not greatly known, other keykids came to her to ask her for tips about defeating heartless / other gameplay stuff. She was like some secret tip.

the Union Leaders being aware of this, and because she's friends with Ephemer and Skuld, they let her know about upcoming medals 👀

she was very confused by the Darkling situation, wondering why she hasn't become one yet …

during Wreck it Ralph she thought the Darklings were after her, wanting her to become one of them

anyways Ending Time

finally seeing the actual Darkness, she was pissed af. In her mind, if there should be "one darkness" it should be her alone. (unaware of the actual Darkness plot)

things play out pretty much canon, til only Ephemer, Skuld, and her are left in the Ark room

seeing the helpless situation with the four other Darknesses, and herself being so much darkness already, playing that she got overtaken by one was a given.

Ephemer and Skuld were fucking FURIOUS, the "bad darkness" taking their "good darkness"

she felt so awful about it. Very very awful. But this was the destiny she saw coming eventually. Being a being of darkness, she wanted to use this to her advantage to save her friends. She never was a Dandelion, she never was a light in the first place, but she loved Ephemer and Skuld for accepting her like she was and she wanted to make sure that they could live on.

She thought about becoming a Dream Eater, but considering her state of being more darkness than anything else, she doesn't want to end up being a Nightmare, and instead decides to move on.

(aka becoming Xehanort / KHML Player (pending))

Ava and Skuld for the character bingo?

I don't spend a ton of time thinking about KHUX characters (compared to some others, anyway) but these two are definitely some of the most characters in that game

so for Ava:

out of all the Foretellers she's my favorite by far and when I saw her in Back Cover (before I ever got into KHUX) I knew that she'd be my keykid's union leader. it wasn't even a question. I don't really have a lot to say about her, though, I just like her a whole lot

and for Skuld:

as much as I love Skuld in general (which is a lot, don't get me wrong), the Skuld-Ephemer-Player dynamic is everything to me and I wish we got more of it. (and if she is indeed Subject X—which is pretty likely if you ask me—then I'm also excited for the possibility of seeing the Skuld-Isa-Lea dynamic.) though also I just want to see more of Skuld. it's not that I think she got too little screen time or anything, I just want to see more of her because
