Right, okay so, couple of things that need attention, so here goes...Sezir, am I safe in presuming the "Dark Figure" is meant to be the same one everyone else was meant to see? If so, then bare in mind it's not meant to linger, and in fact only be there for like a split second.Okay, Reap, I actually saw your sheet when it was first posted but have mostly been conflicted about it, hence my lack of response until now. First of all, if his world was one of the ones that blinked out and he was there at the time, then that means he's absurdly old or immortal or something of that nature, and I don't think such a thing fits in with this particular story (feel free to correct me on his age if I'm misunderstanding something, but that's what I took from the history). Secondly, and this is where I was most conflicted, is in regards to his sword. Now, I'm not claiming to know your intentions or anything, so I'll just apologize in advance for this, but the sword (to me, anyway) seems to just be a re-skinned Keyblade and I'm afraid it won't be feasible in this setting. In case you're unaware, Heartless be killed with conventional weapons, as evidenced by Final Fantasy characters being able to fight them off, so if you're worried about not being able to defend yourself, then don't be. Also, I have plot-related plans for how the party will eventually deal with Heartless and the Darkness in general and your sword kind of contradicts some of those plans, I'm afraid. Finally, one can't just spend centuries surviving in the Dark Realm. For one, it wouldn't stop him from aging, and secondly, just being in that Realm constantly runs you the risk of being consumed by Darkness. Ever wonder why Riku stopped using the dark portals? It's because the Other Side is so pure with Darkness that just briefly passing through it via Corridor of Darkness can be risky to one's Heart.

okay points are taken. I would like to keep his schematic as a more mature figure in the group though, would it be possible that traversing the worlds and dark world that time would move differently so that it's only been a handful of years to him while to the outside world time has gone on as normal? that way I could kinda keep things the same. As far as the sword thing I'm not too attatched to the concept, so I could just have it as a normal blade, only after his near death he found his own personal strength enough to combat them. Im aware of the risks of traveling in the darkness, and I mentioned that it has corrupted him in some ways, in other ways it remains untouched in memory of the woman he loved. While he is a dark individual his center is still full of light, because he's still holding onto the hope that he will find her. 

[hider=GM eyes only pretty please]
Plus once he discovered shes been long dead that could be something pretty dramatic and make him lose himself to the darkness completely and fight everyone until they convince him the light is still there, or kill him and that'd be super rad for all parties involved.
