As he stared into the eyes of the swordsman opposite him, he began to see into the his inner being. At this, he was shocked. Never before had this occured. He'd once heard that a person's eyes are windows into their souls, but never thought anything of it until now. It was as if he saw the man's whole life flash before him and understood him. Now more than ever, he had to make him understand. He saw himself in him.

When he saw that he'd been greeted by the two, he snapped out of his trip down memory lane.

"I apologize for intruding on you both. My name is Shai. I was wondering if either of you knew anything about the Crystal Heart? You see, I've been traveling for a long time, searching for it, though..."

Having stopped in the village to rest, Shai solemly stood staring at the sky, his mind focused on his his last battle...one of great pain.

"Why? Why did he challenge me? He shouldn't have. I didn't want to, but he gave me no choice..."

His heart sank.

"Why did I have to be the Rain Man to him? Now, his life stains my blade and I can't seem to cleanse it...or these hands. Big brother..."

A old man passed by and asked, "Um, excuse me sir, but do you know if it's gonna rain today?"

"No. I don't think it will rain today..."
"Can I ask why you wear that long coat and hat on a sunny day like this?"
"Never know...when the rain might come. But to me, everyday is a rainy day."

Walking away, the old man cackled and said, "Don't say such things, young man. Kids your age should be bright and wide eyed, full of spirit."

"Thank you sir, but I lost my spirit a long time ago...when I first saw the rain."

As he idled, he soon became bored with his solem silence, so he began wandering around, politely asking the villagers for any information they knew of the Crystal Heart or things relating to it. Some were helpful, while others were not so kind. Many people had nothing to contribute that he hadn't already learned but there were a few things he could look into. As the process continued, he happened upon the scene of a young man rushing off from a young lady holding a book.

"Now that's a familiar scene..." he mused, reflecting back on the day he left his home. The girl then was his sister, begging him not to leave on what she called "a fool's journey." He began to make his way over to the girl he glanced. As he was walking there the boy came back. He stopped. Seeing this scene unfold made him further reflect on his last day at home.

"Your blade just doesn't get me. Not to worry. There are some things that can only be conveyed in battle."

A strong well of confidence sprang up inside Rayne. Not that he would win the battle, but that he could present himself approved.

He readied himself with his partner by his side and awaited the Balance Keeper to make the first move.

"Hmm?"

Rayne wasn't too surprised to see that his appearance would cause hostility. Even so, he tried to convey his innocence to the armed man. The vistor showed no signs of calming down, so he did what comes naturally. He called I LuV U2 to his side and prepared to defend himself. When he looked into his eyes, something was amis, but before he had time to read too much into it....

May I join too?

Name: Shai
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Weapon: Bloody Valentine (Umbrella Blade-)
Magic/Element: Reflect
Appearance:
Biography: They call him the Rain Man because of his brutal, yet elegant fighting style and weapon. He wanders the many worlds in search of a way to end the darkness, but questions his choice when he's reminded of the balance. To those ends does he now hunt grudgingly for the Crystal Heart said to reestablish the balance between good and evil, but he himself does not know what he'll do "when" he acquires it. Anyone who gets in his way, the last thing they'll see is his "Rain Dance"
A kind individual at heart, constant battles have hardened his heart abit. He's normally friendly, but if you start a fight, he'll forget you're his friend and attack with extreme malice.
Side: Unsure at first (Light)

Seeing that the mansion's latest visitor had drawn his weapon, Rayne decided that he was a potentially dangerous hostile, but whether he was friendly or not is another story. Suddenly, he felt something deep within. Something he'd never felt before. A feeling...he decided to trust. Stepping out before the unknown character, he began,"I wasn't sure whether I should show myself, but something tells me that I can trust you..."

He stepped towards the guy, but stopped. There was a tense air going around. He felt awkward. How did he know if the guy could understand? All he could think of at the moment was wait for an answer.

(OOC: welcome Jordie)

As soon as he blinked, Sankai had been wisked away into another world. Having never been to another world, he didn't know what lies ahead, so he acted with caution...at first. After he got bored being cautious, he decided to explore the land he'd entered into, for it was a strange place.

Where Sankai came from, it was always dark, but here it was so very bright. After he gave his eyes time to adjust to the light, Sankai began his journey just as he had all the times before: he dropped his blade into the ground and began to drag it in the ground behind him. His new surroundings puzzled him, for he had not seen such things as these that decorated the area.

The strangest thing of all was the ground, from which large poles extended to the sky. The mushy gree surface seemed softer than the rough terrain that he's used to trudging through. It usually calms his spirit to hear the sound of his blade tearing the earth, but here it was no good. He decided to put his blade away for the moment as there appeared to be no inhabitants around the area so far.

OOC:Sweet, we have enough to start. Welcome all. I'll start in a moment.

EDIT: READY!!! GO!!!!!!!!!!!!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sankai lay in the valley of the dark unconscious of his surroundings. As he gazed up at the stars, he began to dream a dream. In his dream, there were people with no faces gathered around him. Some extende their hands to help him up, while others pointed their swords towards him. Then the faces began to circle him and he was unable to see who was trying to help and who was seeking to hurt him. Soon, he awoke from his dream and in the silence of the night he echoed to himself, "A dream that's real and a life that's a lie. I wonder which is the one I've been living all this time."

He used his blade to lift himself up from the ground and as he looked at it, he pondered on why he was the way he was. Why had he been alone all these years and why did the sword he held tightly in his hand seek to protect him.

"Where is my truth?" he said to the stars,"I'll find whats real to me...soon"

He headed towards a large symbol engraved into the valley. The mark of a fragmented heart lay under Sankai's feet and began to glow as stepped onto the ancient pad used in the past for invasions to leave behind his old life and step into the unknown.

OOC: Oh, we'll start when there are at least two more rpers. Also, I didnt mean to make it seem like you had to post a pic. Just if you have any idea how your character looks, write that down. Oh and if I misunderstood. ..By bad. Also, I added another line to the story (thought it up in class). Its just about the breakdown of relations between the worlds since kingdom hearts was lost.

Back in the secret lab under the abandoned mansion outside Twilight Town, Rayne begins to make his way back up the stairs into the main part of the mansion. Suddenly, he feels another presence and soon moves to conceal his own presence. He would first examine the subject before making final judgements towards this unknown.

"Is he.... a brother?"

After aimlessly wandering the lonely streets of The World That Never Was, Rayne became bored with the area. "Where are the constants?" he asked himself. For such a large city, noone was in site. "I need to find more variables and constants in a controlled space in order to take the next step in my testrun."

Since there was nobody in this world, he decided to leave something behind to aid his cause. Dragging a circle around himself with I Luv U2, he stabbed it in the center to leave behind a symbolic scar. The area where the scar lay began to glow a bright red and soon he was wisked away.

Yeah, but the wiimote/nunchuck thing would have to be tuned to swinging motions to make that any fun (i saw an awesome Wii game, but was turned off by the guy just sitting there waving the thing like he was greeting someone to excute attacks) They'd have to really fine tune the controller for me to want to play it or have alternate controls that work on their regular controllers.

Also, I dont remember how many buttons are on the regular controller or nunchuck but they have to be able to compensate for all the different moves and the menus and submenus and activating special skills and such. Not saying they couldnt do it, but they'd have to really do it up for the gameplay to be satisfying to me (this coming from the guy who doesnt think waving a controller at the tv doesnt make for a satisfying experience. lol. It can be though....maybe)

When Rayne awakened, he was hanging on the edge of The World that Never Was. Slowly coming to, he began to perceive his dreadful situation. His arms bound over his head and his legs below, he couldnt help the feeling of indifference in himself. Unworried by the current situation, he closed his eyes and said, "Whatever happens happens."

"Maybe the truth I seek is there....or maybe not. I luv U...I h8 Umore!!!!!!

Sword and sheath came with blinding spead, cutting the chains that bound Rayne and lifting him to the surface. "I thank you."

The great sword returned to Rayne's side as did the sheath, and he continued on, scarring the streets by the dragging of his sword, unsure of whether he could begin his next testrun, but confident that he would have some success.

OOC: Hopefully soon I'll make my way into someone's midst, then I can really start rp'ing. Please bear w/ me. I like to build up my story while I search for the other characters so my character can interact.

The streets of a town covered in eternal welcomed Rayne at the other end of the portal.

"This place....it seems....familiar somehow...uhg!!!"

Suddenly, he dropped to the ground, holding his head in pain. It felt as if someone was trying to force a massive object into his brain. The pain was so intense, his vision became fuzzy, almost staticy. He groaned for a moment, but then, everything seemed to pause to him.

"....This place is...."

Rayne suddenly rememebered something, very faint about his surroundings. A vision of the past forced its way into his mind, something he'd never seen before.

As he struggled to remain conscious, the black creatures appeared again, but this time in greater number. "What do I do, now?" he thought to himself," I guess I'll have to leave it up to you...for now. I'm in your care." He calapsed to the ground, but then, something rose up in him. Suddenly a wave of power erupted from his unmoving body, wiping out the small swarm of heartless.

Soon the rain came and Rayne's body was drenched in the downpour.

While Rayne treaded the forest outside Twilight town, he encountered strange anomylies, similar to the shadows like before, but somehow different. These creatures sported a silver white coloring to themselves and there was more variation between these creatures. One was constantly changing form, another seemed to dance around the him, as the last two were lizard-like and attacked from underground.

Rayne's blade echoed and as he looked down, the great sword echoed again. Then his sheath echoed. Surely this was a sign, so he withdrew his sword and drew his sheath to attack. As he swung the open end at the enemies head in a slashing motion, a line of black light surged from the blade, scarring the ground an sending the white creatures into oblivion. The remaining monsters were eleminated shortly after they sprang from the ground.

After the monsters were gone, the sheath echoed again.

"Why.....why do you belong to me? And you?" he continued to the great blade, "Why are you with me? You've been with me since the beginning. You are the only ones who ever cared for me....but where were you before I was? And why did you come when I became? Are you because I am? Or am I because you are?"

The sword and the sheath both echoed to him.
He looked up and saw at the edge of the forest a large living structure.
The gates were closed and locked, which only furthered his curiosity of the house. He leaped over the gate and proceeded to the door, which strangely enough, was open.

The house was indeed as large as it looked from the outside and as he ventured through more of the house, Rayne encountered more of the white creatures.

After slaughtering at least fifty and having made his way through most of the house, he found a door which led to a room which seemed to have been changed around, like a secret passage or something.Where the floor should've been, there were stairs that led down to a lower level in the room. He immediately leaped down and searched out the areas, finding a room with a strange set of windows with strange patterns running down them. Something like a keyboard was nearby, so he tried to play on it. Though it didnt make music like a piano keyboard, something did happen. Another metal structure seemed to come to life in the corner and as he went to check it out, he was shaken up for a moment. When he looked up, he saw that the windows and keyboard were all smashed up.

"Did I do that?" he pondered. He left the room and as he entered, there was a strange warp in the wall. It was something that Rayne recognized. A portal! As soon as he saw it, he ran towards it leaving that world behind.

Rayne enters Twilight Town looking for a good place to begin a new trial. He trudged all over the city, but there wasn't a good starting point.

"I guess....this place won't do after all."

The people of the town seemed to be at leisure for the moment. Suddenly, a crowd of kids rush past Rayne down the street into another area of the city. Rayne soon found himself following after the children to see what the commotion was about.

"Come on guys!"
"Yo, hurry up!"
"Its about to start. Lets go!"
"THis is gonna be HOT!"

He followed the crowd till he came upon a large rectangular platform, surrounded by practically every kid in town, Rayne deduced. Two young males stood opposite each other, each with some sort of weapon in-hand. The crowd was in an uproar as a man began," 3...2...1....STRUGGLE!!!!!!"

Suddenly, there was the outbreak of battle between the two boys on the platform. As they each delivered connecting blows to each other, the pouch they wore would drop large spheres from them and they both struggled to obtain the others spheres. Rayne could not comprehen such a battle. It seemed like it was entertainment to the crowds, but battle is not for entertainment, he thought to himself. He'd always fought to defend himself or to progress further in his life. An enemy is an enemy and must be eliminated so as to prevent future henderence or to gain something from them that was necessary.

Watching this mockery of a battle boiled Rayne's blood. To simply fight for fun seemed to make light of all Rayne's previous struggles.

Two minutes later, the area was abandomed. With everyone scattering and the platform demolished, Rayne was at ease again as he ventured onward. He saw a hole in the city wall that lead towards a forest area and decided to check it out.

Wandering the dusky trails over meandering hills, an almost empty shell continues to search for his truth. Rayne wears such an emotionless look on his face, that is until he happens upon another inhabited area. He stops in his tracks as he stares at what he calls a "test area" and picks up his sword which was drug along his path, leaving behind a currosive gash behind.

"I guess....this place....is where I'll begin my next.....trial....huh?"

Rayne looked down as the shadows cast by the environment began to move.

"Wha....I don't....understand. Are these.... friends or enemies?"

Soon several black figures appeared around him.

"....who are you?," he asked. The shadows leaped at him. Rayne easily avoided their assault. "Those who attack me are enemies....I should....defeat enemies."
A look of possession overtook his face as he gripped his one possession. In an instant, the shadows faded away and Rayne continued on towards the town, leading his terrible gash towards the town.

"I wont let anyone hinder me. Let me find the truth.....my truth. The real."

The sign outside of town read Twilight Town.

Please permit me to join for the time being.
