Storyline Specific Information: [Relaxed] As the Keyblade StrikesAn unknown Darkness has come and has been slowly consuming worlds across the universe. Along with the impending Darkness come the Heartless, shadowy creatures from an unknown dimension that do the Darkness's bidding. Their goal is to find the Ten Pure of Heart and use their hearts to open the Final Door to Kingdom Hearts, which will enable Darkness to take over all the universe.
Four of the Ten have already been captured: Princess Setsuna of the Caverns of Charon; Princess Michiru of Triton's Bay; Princess Haruka of Miranda, the Winged Isle; and Princess Hotaru of the Sleeping Wastes.
As for the remaining Six Pure of Heart, they've been having strange dreams. A voice has been calling them in their dreams, telling them to choose. In a hallowed room, before each dreamer are a Shield, Sword, and Rod. They are left to choose which they will be: a warrior, guardian, or mystic.
“As the weapon of the warrior, the Dream Sword focuses on strength and avoids defense, and if [the Wielder] chooses it, they will learn their offensive abilities at lower levels.”
“As the weapon of the guardian, the Dream Shield focuses on defense and avoids strength, and if [the Wielder] chooses it, they will learn their defensive abilities at lower levels.”
“As the weapon of the mystic, the Dream Rod focuses on MP and avoids AP, and if [the Wielder] chooses it, they will learn their magical abilities at lower levels.”
The Six each make their choices:
– Rei, Makoto, and Minako choose to be Warriors
– Ami and Mamoru choose to be Guardians
– Usagi chooses to be a Mystic
The day after their dreams, large dark clouds come over their homeworlds and a terrible storm strikes during the night. The Six awake and find their homes flooded with Heartless. Weaponless, they have no choice but to flee. They each find a portal and the voice they had heard in their dreams urges them to go through.
We join our heroes as they awaken in a foreign world called Traverse Town.
Additional Information:In this RP, Rei comes from a world called Temple of Flames, a world full of warriors, shrines and sacred fires that fill the atmosphere with a spicy heat. She lives in a temple situated between the two largest and most revered shrines Phobos and Deimos which sit close to one another in their bid to protect the world. Rei has grown up dedicated in learning the texts of her world, and spends much of her time studying or meditating in front of the sacred fires. She's one of the most adept of her people, and is looked upon with a kind of hushed awe at her devotion and her strength. Rei doesn't pay much attention to that, and continues to work harder, always pushing herself to be better, to be stronger. She always feels as though there's something kind of missing in her life, something that maybe she can fill if she just was a little better, a little more devoted. So she pushes herself above all else - thoughts of friends or even friendly acquaintances is the furthest from her mind. The only person she feels close to is her grandfather, one of the heads of the temple, but even his admonishments for her to take periodic rests go unheeded.
Rei's personality is much the same in this RP, though focused in different ways than how we normally know her, and her sharp edges have yet to be worn down by the presence of any close friends. She feels the pressure of her world, of wanting to be better, of being so close to
something that she can't quite reach, and her fires can rage hotter because of its frustrations. She attempts to use her constant practice with meditation to her advantage, however, and on Temple of Flames, people leave her alone out of reverence and awe, so Rei doesn't have to deal with other people much at all.
She's the wielder of the keyblade called "Soul Flare", and has a great affinity to Fire magic and any spells that help her deal damage as quickly and as powerfully as possible, though Water magic and pure defensive spells are harder for her to work with. When in battle, she focuses on barreling through her enemies and has a hard time keeping herself out of harm's way, but has greater ease keeping others out of danger instead.

RP Sample: The air was too cool here, Rei noted with distaste. There was no life in it at all, and it couldn't even begin to compare to the spicy heat she was used to back home. Rei took in a deep breath, and missed the familiar tingling on her nose and tongue.
Too quiet, as well. Rei frowned. No, that wasn't quite right. It wasn't exactly quiet here - she could detect the normal sounds of shopkeepers and patrons conversing, the sounds of footsteps and the clinking of cutlery against ceramic dishes. Although somewhat normal, gone was the backdrop of deep chanted singing that continued to thrum throughout her home, the notes a person could feel in their very bones.
Rei's anger bubbled hotter beneath the surface, and she took a moment to glare at everything that dared to look wrong and out of place. This wasn't where she wanted to be. This wasn't home.
And she hated it. She hated all of it, and she wanted to yell at each offensive thing - inanimate or not. From the weird cobblestones to the way the buildings had been constructed. Even the lamps lighting the area were wrong and terrible and she hated them especially in all their artificial mockery.
Rei took in a deep breath, and let it out slowly as she murmured to herself, "Phobos and Deimos, guide me." She could feel the strength and calm pooling into her from the simple prayer, and it helped clear her head.
They, at least, were still with her.
Rei lifted her head and took a step forward. She didn't know where she was. She didn't know how to get back home. But she was smart, and capable. She'd find a way. Somehow.
