@Crimson Raven Okay, made the change.
Well I don't know what everyone else plans to do for characters, but I'm leaning toward being the hard-hitting tank of the group (I usually play some form of thief or mage and would like a change of pace for this game). To that end, I'm having difficulty choosing between being a Goron wielding the Megaton Hammer or a Lizalfos wielding a pair of hand-axes.
*waves* Hello.
@Akayaofthemoon

Their IC posts don't mention Aladdin yet. I was more responding to the OOC suggestion Xan made above.
How is Aladdin even alive yet? This is supposed to be centuries before even Birth By Sleep, so he shouldn't even be born yet, much less in any position of power in Agrabah.
I can't really post either since I was the last member of the non-arcade group to do so.
Well, consider the actual origins of the Keyblades. According to Kingdom Hearts lore, people forged their own blades in the image of the X-blade, and these were the first Keyblades. That would certainly explain why all the Keyblades in the Keyblade Graveyard have no keychains. They were just swords, key-shaped swords, but just swords. I've always believed that later Keyblades (ones with Keychains) are products of Kingdom Hearts, sort of like the X-blade but obviously nowhere near as powerful.
Interesting that Azazel chooses to hand-wave the seriousness of the war, especially since you just know the reality of it will hit him like a ton of bricks if he ever visited the Keyblade Graveyard. Speaking of which, has that particular battle happened yet or is it still just Nondescript Wasteland Number ___?
When asked about his name Cyrus sighed with contemplation. Truth be told, he didn't come to Twilight Town with any intentions of boasting or boosting his already controversial reputation. But in his brief bout against Arthal he did indeed reference the name of the Reaper. Well, his identity would have become known sooner or later, so it made little difference. Still, he offered the elven woman a response, "That name is one that is born of the war, and it will die with it just the same. So instead I offer my true name... Cyrus."

He recalled her other question regarding the citizen and answered plainly, "The man was unharmed, though I can't say the same for his ice cream stand. As for the "thugs", I was perhaps too harsh with my choice of words. They are Keyblade Wielders, but not like us. To put it simply, they are mercenaries, likely here hoping one of us will hire them."

And then Arthal, his earlier elven opponent, finally spoke his name. It was not a name Cyrus was familiar with, and then Arthal confirmed why when he implied that his knowledge of the war was mostly second-hand, taught to him by his old master. He further elaborated that his plan for ending the war was for this group to be the one that finally forged the fabled X-blade. Interesting, considering that this was once Cyrus's own plan not too long ago. Obviously he failed, else none of them would be here now. Still, perhaps a team stood a better chance of succeeding than a lone soldier? Either way, for Ren's sake, it was a long shot that Cyrus was more than willing to take.

With no hesitation, Cyrus was the first to touch his blade to Arthal's. Specifically, he did so with Trusted Heart, Ren's Keyblade. This way, it would feel like he and Ren both were pledging their loyalty to the cause, "For the good of all." he repeated. He thought about telling them of his own failed attempt at this plan, but decided against it. The last thing they needed was his story of failure and regret bringing them down. But even as he held up his blade in agreement, his heart was still very much closed, still impossible to reach and arguably even more guarded than ever. Trust was just not something he ever truly learned, especially not for the kind of man the war had forced him to become.
