Name: Xemnas
Age: Appears 25-29, actually only about ten years old.
Personality: Xemnas wields his superiority like a weapon. It doesn’t take much to put the better part of his subordinates in line, but he’s not above threatening demotion if he has to. He’s almost psychotically attached to the idea of Kingdom Hearts after untold years of searching, not to mention the scientific relevance to his previous years under Ansem, and it seems he will sacrifice any number of Nobodies to see it completed. Xemnas still pretends to feel with the rest, but not very much and with a very different style from Saïx’s cold cruelty or Demyx’s clumsy hesitance. Instead he radiates power and inevitability, but he’s more imposing than anything else—a shadow of true strength.
What game are you from/or are you a OC: Kingdom Hearts et al
History: In the midst of his studies on the heart, Ansem the Wise found a young boy with no memory of his origins. Either the boy insisted or together they came up with the name Xehanort, which just so happened to be the name of an extremely powerful individual who had presumably died or been destroyed at this point. Xehanort lived up to his name, being so powerful that Ansem was alarmed enough to make note of it, but was fiercely loyal to his master—perhaps even more so than the other five apprentices under Ansem. Eventually, though, his experiments with darkness started to cross the moral line and Ansem forbid him to go farther. Xehanort, hurt and disappointed, eventually cast Ansem aside in his heart, convinced that his master was jealous of his ability. He and the other apprentices continued to experiment with darkness until they lost their hearts to it.
Xehanort’s crazed Heartless, because the boy proved strong enough to produce both a human-shaped Nobody and a human-shaped Heartless, took on the name Ansem and went on to terrorize the worlds until Sora brought a stop to that. Xehanort’s Nobody, in the meantime, took on the name Xemnas with the same sentiments and with the cold calmness of an emotionless being began assembling Organization XIII, starting with the apprentices that had crossed over with him. It was during this time that Xemnas began spending a lot of time in what the other Organization members referred to as the Room of Sleep. Xemnas faced off against Sora briefly in Hollow Bastion, testing his strength, and then sent Marluxia, Vexen, Axel, Larxene, Zexion, and Lexaeus to Castle Oblivion with Naminé for the purposes of converting Sora to their side. This endeavor failed and they lost everything; only Axel returned with wild stories of betrayal and enmity among the fallen.
But before the fall of Oblivion, Xemnas had been fortunate enough to find the Nobody of Sora—a quieter version he’d taken in and named Roxas. This one, combined with Xion, proved to be most useful in slaughtering Heartless and purifying hearts to be sent back to the Kingdom Hearts the Organization was building. Roxas grew very close to Xion and also Axel, but after Xion’s destruction he sought to leave the Organization. Xemnas originally ordered Axel sent into the data Twilight Town in which they found the wayward Thirteen to bring him back, but when it became apparent that Roxas wasn’t going to cooperate and they were running out of time before he rejoined Sora, Xemnas ordered his destruction. Axel failed and Roxas successfully combined with Sora.
Xemnas briefly encountered Sora at Hollow Bastion, after Axel had kidnapped Kairi and made himself something of a nuisance to track down and eliminate, and the boy ironically enough demanded to know where Riku was. Xemnas knew very well that the man calling himself Ansem and walking alongside DiZ wasn’t his Heartless, but didn’t answer that specifically and indicated that the King wasn’t sharing everything he knew instead. If he’d hoped to foster malcontent with the King, Xemnas was barking up the wrong tree, but his disappearance and King Mickey’s subsequent one were enough to make Sora collapse and take out his frustration on the dirt.
Throughout Sora’s second adventure, Xemnas met with the other Organization members from time to time to discuss the progression of their plans, but even the elimination of Demyx and Xaldin wasn’t enough to make them fear for their own destruction. By the time Sora got to the World That Never Was, only Xemnas, Xigbar, Saïx, and Luxord were left—not that these were heavy losses after the fiasco at Oblivion. Xemnas was most likely past caring about their numbers because they were so close to completing Kingdom Hearts—that is until Ansem the Wise showed his face again in an attempt to destroy it. Xemnas appeared to speak with him, shooting biting words at his former master about the student who surpassed him and the jealousy holding his teacher back, but none of it made any difference and Kingdom Hearts was severely crippled even after Ansem’s death.
With the entire Organization wiped out and their ultimate goal horribly mangled, Xemnas turned in desperation to the Keymasters and ordered them to get more hearts. It didn’t work on them like it’d worked on the Organization members, though, and Xemnas was defeated in the one-on-one fight he forced on Sora. As he faded away, they reminded him that there were many emotions besides rage—the emotion that had likely been the last in Xehanort’s heart—but Xemnas quietly imparted that he didn’t recall them.
However, Xemnas refused to die. Instead, the fading vestiges of himself joined with the ruined Kingdom Hearts, creating the same doors that had appeared at the End of the World when Sora had defeated Xehanort’s Heartless. Sora, Riku, Donald, and Goofy defeated him and the latter two escaped to Destiny Islands with Kairi, King Mickey, and Pluto, but then Xemnas proved to be still alive and Riku and Sora had to defeat him alone, together. In his last fight, Xemnas made the claim that nothing is eternal and that the light would fade—but that didn’t keep him from finally dying at the wrong end of the Keyblade.

Face Claim:
We will fight
Weapons: Xemnas wields a pair of Aerial Blades, energy crackling with electricity, that won’t really cut like a chakram or scythe will but still pack a punch. He can also multiply them and use them as projectiles.
Powers: Drain – Xemnas can impose an energy field upon an individual that saps strength and harms physically, but if he’s attacked he loses his concentration.
Barrier – Both as a form of defense and a form of attack, Xemnas can summon a square-shaped barrier and thrust it towards his opponent in a way reminiscent of his Sorcerer Nobodies.
Teleportation – Xemnas is capable of teleporting and does it a lot in battle, as it doesn’t seem to sap his strength very much—especially since he uses it more and more the weaker he grows; he can also travel in an orb of darkness that resists attack.
Aerial ring – If he’s able to give up the use of his Aerial Blades for a time, Xemnas can turn them into smaller segments like bullets and surround someone with them, sending them flying towards an opponent all at once.
Twilight thorns – Depending on the situation, Xemnas is able to use the same power of the Nobody Twilight Thorn in order to create spiky white and black branches or chains that harm initially but fade over time.
Underlings – The Nobodies under Xemnas’s control in particular are Sorcerers, specialized Nobodies capable of attacking with insubstantial cubes or using them as a shield.
Kingdom Hearts – Once fused with Kingdom Hearts, Xemnas’s power increases and his attacks vary dramatically.

Custom Title: The Superior
Sample RP: Silence.
There should have been some sort of sound. Maybe the rustle of fidgeting, or the barely audible beating of their hearts, or the low thrum of the castle just being and the sizzle of emotion in the air.
But they were both sitting still, there were no such hearts or emotions, and the castle wasn’t, had never been, and would never be.
Xemnas understood his companion’s distress, probably better than Vexen himself did. So many things had changed that he barely recognized the man who’d sat with the other apprentices in the time bomb of Radiant Garden, sharing theories with Ienzo and Elaeus or arguing quantum physics with Braig. But that man no longer existed, and Vexen could not accept this. He didn’t seem to realize, as Xemnas did, that all the research that came before, and all the experience that shaped him and devoured his best years were the result of the hands and eyes and thoughts of a man who was not and would never be Vexen. And Xemnas was just as far from the boy who’d called himself Xehanort, even if the reasons behind that name and the power within him were still mostly mysteries to him even now.
So it was inconceivable that the slightest concern for Vexen’s insincere feelings would affect him.
He knew Vexen didn’t trust Marluxia. None of them did, and as his first act as Lord of Castle Oblivion, Xemnas wouldn’t be surprised if the Graceful Assassin took Number Twelve as his right hand and consigned the other members to the basement. All Xemnas needed, and there was no reason for Vexen to know this, was for Axel to be his eyes and ears. But without knowing that, Vexen and the other members forming the formerly exclusive group of apprentices could only see this as a madman’s act.
A thousand accusations threw themselves at him from eyes that had belonged to Even, but Vexen didn’t speak. Xemnas shifted in a familiar way that meant the meeting was drawing to a close, and the Academic sucked in a sharp breath like he was going to speak--and Xemnas stopped because he could feel it, too. There was something there, something that needed to be said. But it only manifested in a soft sigh and Vexen’s usual slouch grew more prominent.
“Dismissed, Four.”
Not Even. Not Vexen. Just Four. A meaningless statistic.
“Understood.”
The word was flung at him like an icicle, like Vexen hoped it would lodge in his eye or perhaps his brain, and this time the sound was the soul-sucking groan of a portal opening. But that was better than silence, because silence was nothing.
