Kingdom Hearts: Heroes of Hope

My final decision on Hoshi's voice credit. Maybe bit more youthful at the outset.

Hogwarts: The New Professors

i think those in the same age range would mildly recognize each other.. same with houses... but we do need to reacquaint ourselves.

Hogwarts: The New Professors

Reggie, the High Flyer

Reginald "Reggie" D. Cross

6’0” | 200lbs
Lean, athletic build.

Age: 25
Hogwarts House: Hufflepuff
Professor of: Flying

Biography: Reggie was born in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. His mother was a Muggle, originally from Melbourne. His father was a British wizard employed by the Department of International Magical Cooperation; Mr. Cross was working abroad at the time, serving as a British ambassador to the Australian magical government. The revelation that her lover was a Wizard was shocking, but not a downer to the future Mrs. Cross, the pair's relationship flourished to the point of marriage, after which Reggie was born. However, when his father was called back to Britain on a promotion offer, Reggie's mother was unable to uproot herself, and the pair maintained a long-distance relationship, offset by Reggie's father being able to simply Apparate to Sydney.

The situation wasn't ideal, but the pair made it work.

Reggie spent his earliest years with his mother in Australia, affording his father the time to acclimate to his new position. He would travel to London to see his father over the holidays and a bit during the summer.

When it became clear that Reginald was gifted with magic like his father, his life changed. He moved to live with his father full time, both parents agreeing it was best for him to be closer to the magical side of the family. As he neared his 11th birthday, the owl arrived, inviting him to attend his father's old school of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft & Wizardry. He arrived his first night and was sorted into Hufflepuff house ("That's your mother's genes at work for sure," his father, a true Gryffindor exclaimed happily in a letter). The eleven-year-old Reginald made waves immediately, particularly as a lively, friendly, and dedicated individual who was typically the life of any party.

Academically, he held his own in all of his core subjects. Charms was where he tended to excel in this regard.

Yet it was in his first flying lesson that it became apparent that he would find himself most at home upon a broomstick. Flying came naturally to him, and as a first year, he was eyed by his house’s Quidditch captain and invited to try out for the team in his second year. He would take up the offer, and was practically a shoe-in onto a relatively young squad as a Chaser. Reggie’s performance on the Quidditch pitch became his most talked-of quality around the school, especially amongst his fellow Hufflepuffs. During his tenure he notched several house and school records. He retains his status as having the record for most points scored as a rookie player; for a time, he also held a record for most career points scored in the school, though he’s since been surpassed in that, though he remains the record-holder within his former house.

In his 7th year he was made Captain of the Hufflepuff Quidditch squad. During this stretch he became something of an innovator. Taking influence from Muggle sports such as Football (Soccer), Gridiron Football, and Rugby, he drilled his squad into a defensive powerhouse that effectively limited their rival teams in points allowed. He further experimented by implementing a 2nd string team, who, during practice, were tasked with simulating the play style of Hufflepuff’s next opponent in scrimmage games to better prepare his squad for the coming games.

Among his notable matches as a captain was a game against Gryffindor in which his game plan involved him functioning similarly to a gridiron quarterback, pulling off impressive passes that set up his fellow chasers to score goals, a match against Slytherin in which his aggressive flying was likened by Muggle-born and Half-Blood students as similar to a Rugby player. The cream of the crop, however, was a shutout victory for the Quidditch cup in that year.

Following his time at Hogwarts, Reggie tried out for a slew of professional teams in the UK, but came up short. In part, it seemed that the teams were hesitant to incorporate his style of play into their own game plans, opting to take players that better meshed with their own styles. This prompted Reggie to return to his home in Australia, where he began a successful Quidditch career in Sydney. His career would flourish, seeing him earn a spot on the Australian National Team, and an appearance in the Quidditch World Cup.

It wouldn’t be long before a unique opportunity presented itself: a position at his alma mater, Hogwarts. Reggie wasted no time in applying for the opening as Flying Instructor, and chief Quidditch Referee. He heard back just as quickly, notified that his application had been accepted. He swiftly packed his belongings and relocated once more, returning to Britain, and taking up residence at his former school to begin the next chapter of his career.

Favorite Hogwarts Memory: The Three Peat. During Reggie's 5th-7th years, he and his fellow Hufflepuff Quidditch players cemented themselves in their house's lore with a dominant streak on the pitch. The team notched an impressive three year run of Quidditch Cup victories, with their last one in Reggie's time being a shutout victory.

Kingdom Hearts: Heroes of Hope

Hadn't really thought of Hoshi's voice actor. I'm feeling like Ciara Bravo would do it... Although my soft spot wants me to slot Zendaya into the role because Disney

Hogwarts: The New Professors

So like, would a good handful of professors not know or at least know of each other from.their time as students?

Kingdom Hearts: Heroes of Hope

I feel like Hoshi could use a Dive. I'm basically writing her intro in that direction, setting up plit reveals for later.

Kingdom Hearts: Heroes of Hope

My original plan was to have Zac go to Traverse Town and meet up with Merlin, most likely, as I feel like he would have been able to explain things better to Zac. Or maybe have him meet up with Leon and Yuffie, who had introduced him to Merlin, if I'm remembering the first game correctly

@Little Bird If @Eviledd1984 is cool with that plan, you could join him and Zac on the Gummi ship. Otherwise, the two of us can figure out another plan

@Daxam

Maybe not on the ship... Hoshi would get sucked through the Darkness trying to reach Alias. But they could still all end up in the same place.

Kingdom Hearts: Heroes of Hope

I'm just knocking ideas around. I figure the og games had the main cast split up in pretty much every main line entry. Sora and Riku were on separate journeys in KHI. Sora, Riku, and Mickey were all on different paths in KHII that all ended up coming together in the end.

I think as long as we check in regularly enough it shouldn't cause too nuch trouble. Plus we can stretch events out a bit longer when needed while also expediting other parts that run parallel to the games (ie - Wonderland gets a bit more time givem to it, but the group only has to go through Olympus once (as opposed the 3-4 times in game.

Kingdom Hearts: Heroes of Hope

So thus far we have three groups in the works.

Alias	Hoshi	Zac+Taivas

Hot take, we're best to keep this in three groupings. After DI three groups spread out to different worlds. Olympus could be the point where at everyone converges at some point, though all for different reasons relating to a tournament. By then we kinda have a sense who is going down a path towards Darkness and who's leaning toward light. Maybe they all split off along those lines with the Light side chasing the Dark side?

If anyone is cool with joining Hoshi in getting dropped into Traverse Town feel free to join me. I'm figuring to echo the game, maybe having Hoshi eventually meet up with Leon and Yuffie and probably Donald+Goofy. Do some shenanigans, beat some Heartless, move on to another world and try to find the others.

The more I figure it the more I think Hoshi will be more like Sora.

PS - Sorry for hijacking the plannimg. Just getting a lot of ideas.

Kingdom Hearts: Heroes of Hope

I thought we were gonna start on Destiny Islands, and Darkness shenanigans happen.

@Crimson Flame

Yeah. Start on DI. Shit happens. We get split up.
