[quote=@Gisk] I don't want any characters having prior experience, but here's what we can do: magic is a sort of lost art in Sunrise, And the Magi are a group dedicated to rediscovering its secrets. This keeps their nature essentially the same, without allowing your character too much of a leg up. We can also say that his theoretical knowledge of magic helps him use it with much greater ease when he gets his keyblade. I don't think that will work, only like one heartless has ever kept their normal form, and we don't know why. Plus, it takes a strong heart to wield a keyblade, and a heartless is a heart that has succumbed to the darkness, I just don't think it meshes. [/quote] Okay, I edited the CS to how you asked! Gale's now the Kairi of the group lmao~
