kh oc week day 6 - one choice, new life

💫🎶✨ @khoc-week

[ with her newfound confidence, harper made the decision to upgrade her keyblade. it may sound small, but it was a big step in her journey to feeling secure in her abilities, no longer feeling weighed down by the former version, star lyre. ]

[masterfuldoodler]

Day One: Introductions

Name: Caelum. Age: 15 years old. Title: Keyblade Wielder.

Caelum is a keyblade wielder in training. He lived with his brother (14) until he came of age and moved to Scala ad Caelum where the rest of the keyblade wielders are. Unfortunately, Caelum misses his brother and is trying to figure out how to bend the rules to get him to join him. The two of them shared a dream of training and getting their mark of mastery together. When he finally gets the masters to agree to it, his brother has gone missing. Caelum runs away and sets out searching the worlds for him, along the way he runs into some interesting people...

Caelum inherited his keyblade from his family's long line of keyblade masters. His affinity is magic, and has always been gifted at it. Able to do spells with ease. He's a rather nervous guy (people pleasing tendencies) but is down to break the rules for the things he cares about.

Huge thank you to @meadow-roses for helping me design him. She make the keyblade and helped on so many details.

First day (and first time) of kh oc week, hosted and organized by @khoc-week

Day 2 - new world

Every world was a new world to Aronia, but there are some specific ones..

Pixie hollow- where the lightbringers went to help a very familiar fairy find her true talent while combating heartless that take the form of sprinting thistles

throughout this Aronia too struggles alongside Tink in feeling like she isn’t fit for her roll as a keyblade wielder…Even at one point contemplating if she would be better off as a fairy living here forever, watching everyone else being so confident in what they do didn’t help either. That is, until during some sprinting thistle stampede she was able to defend her own mentor with the skills she possessed. It was a needed boost of confidence.

Wonderland - the intended purpose was to find and help Alice get back home, instead the lightbringers became caught up in a mad tea party’s maddening requests to the point where most felt like they too were going insane, all except Aronia. She felt comfortable with this world and its strangeness, being in her element the entire time and playing along with everything much to the degrading mental states of her comrades.

nothing was learned here except that they are never going back to wonderland. Which was a shame, she felt like it was home…

Dumbo - on a quest to reunite a little elephant with his mother, the lightbringers find themselves as a literal gaggle of clowns in a circus trying to do exactly that while putting on a show like they aren’t inter dimensional travelers. Like the last world Aronia was loving it, goofing off and making others laugh..She became quite attached to Dumbo.

but then she witnessed cruelty she hadn’t seen in this life, cruelty from others..Cruelty from circumstances and cruelty from oneself…Seeing Dumbo ridiculed for something he could not control caused the already empty chasm in her chest to widen. And while they were able to give the elephant a happy ending, the whole experience changed Aronia for the worse and unlocked something that was buried within.

Neverland - A trip that wasn’t planned at all. in fact they crash landed in this world to escape a heartless far more powerful than they expected, even so it had a profound impact on Aronia. They were all separated on different parts of the island, leaving her to momentarily join the lost boys.

through this she finds out more and more about herself while defending her new group from dangers until ultimately fully discovering that she is a nobody (something the others knowingly kept from her) and, much like peter man, will never grow up to have a full life like the rest of the keybladers she came to see as family.

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.

@khoc-week I am late I am very late-

Day one: Introductions!

Nathaniel Ezra Wyatt: a scholar, magic user, and very concerned adult. His home world (Hyrule, yes he is technically an LoZ oc as well shhh) fell only a year or so after Radiant Garden’s fall, when he was around 37, and he found himself in Traverse Town. He ended up bonding with the group from RG who were living there (Cid, Leon, Aerith, Cloud, and Yuffie) and found himself part of their little patchwork family. He is, despite looking like an pretentious old librarian, quite outgoing, and loves hearing peoples stories. He is also quite parental by nature, and keeps on finding himself adopting any stray child soldier he comes across (why are there so many-), and co-parenting the RG kids with Cid. After Maleficent was defeated in kh1 he made the decision to go with to Hollow Bastion with the gang instead of staying in Traverse Town or hoping to find himself back in Hyrule. He’s settled into Radiant Garden quite permanently now, and spends most of his time helping his family rebuild it. :)

[alchemist-of-thebes]

KH OC Week Day 3

Here we go again, time for Day 3 for Velcia (KHx) and Velcia (KHII-Era)! 

Day 3: Friends or Lovers

◾Is your OC paired with someone? Who is important to them?

KHx-Era Velcia:

Owing to her own strange circumstances, upbringing, and the generally peculiar nature of her personality, KHx-Era Velcia had quite a few acquaintances and many touch-and-go friendships, but it wasn’t until she met a young man named Balthazar that she was able to find any real stable connection to someone else in Daybreak Town. Reserved and a bit odd in his own right, Balthazar was nonetheless capable in many ways that Velcia wasn’t and was very unaffected by her many more intrusive personal behaviors and habits that some considered a little harder to deal with. The two are the best of friends and inseparable - and each of their unique circumstances and the unfortunate carnage of the Keyblade War means that they have very little interest or capability to evolve their relationship further than that.

While the existence of her KHII-Era descendant does of course rather singularly assure that this hapless KHx-Era Velcia is eventually able to make a proper romantic connection and start a family of her own on Olympus, there is currently no information to be found as to the identity of her eventual sweetheart. (Though it is something that will absolutely be covered in a future story down the line)

KHII-Era Velcia:

When Velcia was young, she had several friends in Thebes but was closest with her cousin, Denerre. As she grew older, her Grandmother began to tell her of their family’s history and along with these stories came a very unexpected insistence that Velcia was not truly a part of Olympus or its people, and that she was meant to be greater than them. This sort of self-important mindset shocked the young girl, and it was one she and her father soundly rejected, but regardless the thought persisted in Velcia’s head that she did not belong. Passive-aggressive comments from her Grandmother both about and in some cases directly towards Velcia’s friends led her to eventually withdraw mostly to herself and keep her friendships private; though her hardy cousin Denerre was fine to shrug off the abuse and stick by Velcia’s side.

After tragedy struck and Velcia lost both her father and cousin during the events of KH:BBS, Velcia (14 at the time) began to live with her Uncle and Aunt and after some particularly cruel and manipulative comments from her grandmother she distanced herself from this poor influence. These cruel sentiments stuck with her all the same, and going forward Velcia found herself too afraid of losing others to be able to entertain relationships on any deeper level. While she would make a great many friends at the University where she and her Uncle studied, these friendships would generally fizzle out as her friends would move on to other things. Of course, it should come then as no surprise that the idea of becoming romantically involved with anybody was a prospect entirely off the table.

Thankfully for Velcia, once she meets Sam and Hinata she manages to quickly become fast friends with them on their travels, and she cares for them very much. While she is quick to pour everything she can into helping her friends, it takes a long time for her to learn to let them in to help her in return; and it’s not until after making a mistake that nearly costs Velcia her own life that she begins to really entertain the notion that she should be accepting of their affections as well. Still, it is a concept that takes some time and practice for her. Hinata, Sam, and a few others end up becoming great lifelong friends for her from this point. Additionally, I suppose I would be remiss to mention that on this journey she also meets with DiZ. Though they are not entirely on the same page at first, as the two grow to understand each other better their mutual passion for academia and general scholarly ways form a common ground; and she begins to look up to DiZ, and later his true self Ansem the Wise, as a mentor.

A couple years later (In the story I’m currently posting!), Velcia returns to the world of Eos (FFXV) and spends quite some time traveling with Noctis and his friends, and there finds herself opening up and learning a lot more about friendships, relationships, and what a healthy system of mutual support feels like when she is able to properly drop her personal defenses and open up.

Redbubble, Commissions OPEN, DNI proshippers/antiantis/queerphobes/racists and fetishists/etc in About Me, Ask me more about him!! I love him so much 🥺 Good time to since it’s KHOC week

[chessdaze]

@khoc-week​ : DAY ONE: APPEARANCES

Me back at it again with almost forgetting about KHOC Week, But thankfully I decided to do my heartsmiths this year so I already had some refs laying around that I just needed to finish coloring! Sorry for the repeat art, but it’s been awhile since I’ve posted these too so I thought I’d brush the dust off and repost them!

My main man Atlas, he’s gone through some changes recently! Mostly with his hair, but his entire Knave of Hearts design got a makeover that you can see in THIS COMIC I made awhile back.

Kei!!! The main and best girl. Her design hasn’t changed much from the beginning, mostly I just changed my style of drawing her, and figured out how I wanted her hair loopys to work. Along with her body ref we have her keyblade ref! I absolutely love drawing her keyblade tbh it might be my favorite one to draw out of all my personally made ones. It fits her personality so well and shows how strong of a member of Ursus she is.

Quest’s design is probably one of my favorites out of the group. I don’t know where in the hell I came up with this, but I did and it’s just always worked out for him. I can’t picture this outfit on anyone else, it’s just so very Quest. He’s my ‘protagonist’ as it were, my original plan was for him to be the KHUX protag but things ended up changing as I developed him. But he’s still a strong wielder and party leader for Leopardos.

Wynter is so neglected so I decided to include him in with the kids. He’s the OG heartsmith and known as Father Time, the creator of Time Magic and best friend(?) To the Master of Masters.  I do think his design is the weakest out of the four, but I also haven’t been able to design an outfit in a way i’m 100% content with so the battle continues.

His keyblade is special because he can freeze hearts in time, which he ends up using on Atlas before the keyblade war. He has a bittersweet ending as he ends up reincarnated in the main KH storyline after dying in the age of fariytales.

For those who don’t know what my concept of a heartsmith is, please read the below! It’s the abridged version so if you have any questions feel free to ask them!

In the age of fairytales, when the foretellers were chosen and given their roles, others rose up to their own calling. With the abundance of keyblade wielders now in Daybreak Town, a local smith decided to take it upon himself to learn how to help these young warriors. With the Master of Master’s permission, Wynter Penn started experimenting on how to repair keyblades that were damaged, and the hearts of their wielders by extension. Because of this he was known as the ‘heartsmith’.

Heartsmiths are those with the ability to repair keyblades and hearts. The former being the focus and the latter actually just a useful side effect. As keyblades are manifestations of the heart, being able to repair one means you’re able to repair the other to some extent. The ‘extent’ varies from smith to smith, it depends on how easily the smith can connect with a heart that is not their own.

It was also their job to upgrade keyblades, making them more powerful and suited to their wielders wants more often than not. Though wielders could do this themselves by other means, the smiths offered a more in depth process. They could also repair the keyblade while upgrading it, making it more durable for a time.

There is pretty much two kinds of damage a keyblade can take. Physical, such as the keyblade actually physically breaking and everyone can see that. These are actually more difficult for the smiths to work on but through their magic and their actual smithing backgrounds they are able to build a keyblade back no problem.

Then there’s what I like to call ‘Aches’ because I can’t think of anything better. Aches are the damage wielders have a harder time seeing. It’s when the wielders mental and emotional states physically start affecting their keyblades. As keyblades are manifestations of their heart, it stands to reason if there is something burdening them, something weighing down on their heart, then their keyblade is affected as well. This is the sort of damage only a heartsmith can fix - but it’s also half on the wielder. The wielder has to talk out their burdens, say why their heart is aching, before it can be 100% healed. Sometimes the smiths simply close it the best they can, because at the very least by this point the wielder is aware of their heart’s ache and can work on healing it in their own time. This can lead to multiple sessions but the smiths do their best to repair it to a point that the wielder isn’t just walking in the next day.

So visiting the smiths is akin to a therapy session. They have to talk to the wielders, gain their trust, realize what is bothering them, and talk them through on how to improve.

Upgrading a keyblade is very similar! While combining the materials to make the keyblade stronger, the smiths will talk with the wielders about their goals, why they want to get stronger - and what that even means to them. The upgrade will always succeed, but depending on the wielder’s state of mind and heart during the process and the answer to the questions the smiths ask, that will determine the new strength of the keyblade.

Day 1- Appearance

Once again, this is Moxan (she/her)

Her clothes are made of a spare Organization XIII coat that she cut because it felt too restricting to her.

Her skin has been actually heavily darkened by uh *checks notes* actual darkness as a way to heal her after she got terribly sunburned by being forgotten in the Keyblade Graveyard for a bout a month.

Her hair stripes also come from the darkness she gets exposed to while traveling through Corridors Of Darkness, and they have gotten a little bit thicker over time.

Her golden eyes are, somewhat predictably, a result of holding a small piece of Xehanorts heart in her own.

Amusingly enough, Moxan suffers from body dysmorphia and basically refuses to look at herself in mirrors and such, as a result she practically is not aware of the changes that happened to her body since leaving her home-world and also because no one else her told her either.

I had fun making this, I feel like I'm a rare case that doesn't have a keykid as an oc and also Moxans story has a very intentionally limited scope, so I'm definitely going to struggle with some of these promps lol

Day Five: Light or Darkness

Caelum is fighting for the light. Fighting against the Darkness that took his brother, and fight for the connection they used to have. In the end Caelum leaves the keyblade wielders at Scala ad Caelum because their fear of the darkness is so strong they can't believe anyone can be saved. With Riku as a friend, and right by his side, Caelum doesn't believe that.

KH oc week is hosted by @khoc-week

KH OC Week 2023 - Day 1

It's another year of KH OC Week! I'm so excited to be participating again! This year, I will be introducing the rest of my Keykids.

@khoc-week

Day 1: Introduction

Name: Zephyr Nicknames: Zeph Gender: Male Age: 15 Preferred Keyblade: Diamond Dust Union: Anguis Personality: Zephyr is withdrawn and distant. He is also stubborn and reckless, going off on his own and charging into the fray. He doesn't like following rules which often leads to trouble. At the start of his Keyblade wielder duties, he believed that it wasn't worth joining or making a party because everyone was fighting for the same thing: Lux. To Zephyr, it was a nuisance and he didn't want to get involved in any problems so he went solo. After meeting Ophelia, his opinions changed. He realized that being around people wasn't all that bad. Eventually, he developed feelings for Ophelia but it's unrequited because she likes Ephemer. Even so, Zephyr still wants to be near her since she was the first person to brighten up his world.

Name: Eileen Nicknames: Ei, Eiley Gender: Female Age: 15 Preferred Keyblade: Starlight Union: Anguis Personality: Eileen is kind, yet reserved. She has low self-esteem. She doesn't believe that she's strong like other Keyblade wielders. Even when she is praised for her efforts, she wonders if she really did do well. She is a perfectionist and doesn't want to disappoint anyone. She also overthinks a lot. She is in love with Ephemer, but doesn’t think that she’s good enough for him. She knows that Ophelia loves him as well so she decided to keep her feelings to herself. Despite the negative characteristics, Eileen does have a positive side. When she's with her friends, she is mischievous and childish.

Last year, I said Ophelia was the reason why I got into making OCs for Kingdom Hearts. But it was actually Eileen. She was my MC before she became a side character.

Name: Quinn Gender: Male Age: 16 Preferred Keyblade: Counterpoint Union: Vulpes Personality: Quinn is bubbly and upbeat. He loves to tell jokes and play pranks. He finds joy in the little things and wants everyone to be happy. He is fearless, eager to explore the unknown despite the possible dangers. He will get serious if anyone messes with his girlfriend, Priscilla. He is very protective of her and would do anything to make her happy. Quinn has a hatred for the darkness because it took the life of one of his best friends. He wishes it would disappear so that he and his companions can live happy and peaceful lives.

Name: Priscilla Nicknames: Pri, Cill Gender: Female Age: 16 Preferred Keyblade: Fairy Stars Union: Leopardus Personality: Priscilla is kind-hearted and calm. She is attentive as well, always willing to lend a hand to others. She tries to be positive when the going gets tough. She is gullible, falling for Quinn's tricks and attempting to find the good in everyone. She loves Quinn, her significant other, dearly. However, his tendency to be overprotective bothers her. Regardless of Quinn’s antics and the bad comments that are said about him, Priscilla cherishes him no matter what.

Name: Sterling Nicknames: Ster, Stir-fry (only by Zephyr) Gender: Male Age: 17 Preferred Keyblade: Olympia Union: Unicornis Personality: Sterling is the oldest out of his friend group, so he often takes care of everyone. He acts like a leader, being serious and calm all the time. Although, there are moments where he is immature and teases his sister and friends. He is a good listener and gives advice when necessary. He is protective of his loved ones to the point where it gets out of hand, but he means well. He simply doesn't want to lose them. This behavior stems from him and his twin sister, Seren, being orphans. He was mostly afraid of her not surviving than himself.

Name: Seren Nicknames: Serry, Ren Gender: Female Age: 17 Preferred Keyblade: Divine Rose Union: Leopardus Personality: Seren is polite and gentle. She is Sterling's sister, but behaves like an older sister to her friends. She often has snacks and medical supplies in her pouch for them. She thinks that she isn't a good fighter, but still wishes to help any way that she can. Before becoming Keyblade wielders, Seren and her brother, Sterling, were orphans. This caused Seren to rely on him a lot and she developed a fear of being alone. However, after obtaining the Keyblade and joining the Leopardus Union, she became independent while also relying on other people besides her brother.

Name: Neo Gender: Male Age: 14 Preferred Keyblade: Moogle O' Glory Union: Ursus Personality: Neo doesn't like to see fights nor like to fight. He would rather sit it out. He is skittish and shy, flinching even when someone is simply greeting him. He is the youngest Keykid, but doesn't appreciate being treated like a child. He can take care of himself, but his friends usually baby him. When he was younger, Neo wanted to be a hero. His dream came true when he got the Keyblade, but his anxiety makes it hard for him to fight enemies and interact with people.
