The worlds go about their business, many don't even know there are other worlds out there, everyone comprised of their own people and history. Master Irakois however, a veteran Keyblade Master and the keeper of the land of departure, is sensing a shift in the balance. Throughout the last few days and weeks, kids keep getting transported to his castle, each one of them chosen by the light, holding either a keyblade or some other weapon. The old master has studied these signs, which can only herald one thing: The rise of the darkness. It is his mission to prepare the next generation, to take on the dangers that soon will cast a long shadow over the worlds...[/i] [b]Welcome, bringer of light, to your Kingdom Hearts Story![/b] The plot of this RP will be based on an original idea, drawing inspiration from the games and the kingdom hearts lore. Prior knowledge about the plot and characters is not a requirement, as long as you know what a keyblade is you will be fine. The general story will be driven by our characters exploring different worlds and fighting the rising darkness, trying to find out who is pulling the strings behind the curtain. A big focus will be put on adventuring and combat, but I’m also hoping to include slice-of-life type moments, since KH deals a lot with themes like friendship, loss and hope. If this sounds like fun to you, and you’ve secretly always wanted to wield a keyblade yourself, join us! [i][b][color=0072bc]Every story needs a beginning…[/color][/b][/i] We will be starting off at the land of departure. Each of our characters has been transported to this place in the last few months, shortly after we were chosen by the light. Since then, we have been training under Master Iracus, the keeper of this world. Our characters are learning how to use keyblades and magic to fight off the minions of darkness, this life of study and training however will soon enough be interrupted... [i][b][color=0072bc]The worlds[/color][/b][/i] The upcoming journey will take us to several different worlds, allowing us to meet fun characters as well as dangerous enemies. We will probably end up visiting every major Disney world out there, and if you want to suggest a setting that is not Disney/SE, feel free to try and convince me to include it. As long as it fits the general tone and theme, I’ll probably end up allowing it. [i][b][color=0072bc]Growing stronger[/color][/b][/i] As we progress through the story, your character will have the chance to learn new techniques, spells, keyblades, summons and maybe even forms. These type of things will usually be awarded after a tough section or difficult boss fight, but they might also be a result of creating new bonds with characters, or depending on the choices you make.
