~So join at your own risk~

"My name is of no importance. What about you? Do you remember your true name?"

Terra. Master Xehanort. Xehanort the apprentice. Ansem, Seeker of Darkness. Lingering Sentiment. And of course, Xemnas, Superior of the In-Between.

All these names, these people, something is special about them. They are all, in some strange way, one and the same. (IF YOU DON'T WANT BIRTH BY SLEEP SPOILERS, DO NOT GO ANY FARTHER)
Long ago, years before Sora and Riku thought of leaving the island, way before Kairi woke up on Destiny Islands, decades before they were even born, Destiny Islands had a native. His name was Xehanort. Xehanort, like Sora and Riku after him, longed to see new worlds. Eventually, he not only got his wish, but he also got a Keyblade. Over time, he became a Keyblade Master. He also started to lose his grip on his sanity.

After the events of BBS, he merged with Terra and unwillingly left the Lingering Sentiment with life. After they battled, he became the amnesiac Xehanort, apprentice to Ansem the Wise. Sometime later, Xehanort split into two: A Heartless, and a Nobody with a team. During KH1, Xemnas found the Lingering Sentiment and recognized it. The two both hated and needed each other. Xemnas felt that LS was the key to his memories and LS felt that Xemnas was the key to being whole, but something was still missing...a heart. At the end of KH1, Sora defeated "Ansem," or Xehanort's Heartless. But the Heartless didn't die. In it's last moments, it escaped, running to fight another day. Unfortunately for him, he was found by Xemnas. Xemnas absorbed Xehanort's Heartless, but locked the heart deep inside himself so as not to revert to a whole person just yet and still keeping his power. (Seriously, you never wondered why Xemnas was so strong and could do all that stuff?)

Going back on his word to his old armor, he felt his heart had his memories and that he was strong enough to carry out his plans. Thus, KH2 happened. However, the exact thing happened again. Sora thought he defeated Xemnas, but he didn't destroy him. Same with the Lingering Sentiment. The two counterparts found each other and merged, and thus, Xehanort was reborn. Due to his unique existence, Xehanort had his apprentice body (Terra with white hair) but Master Xehanort was in control. Terra was revived, but he was trapped as a spirit in his gauntlet on Xehanort's left arm. Xehanort also found himself with new powers, far surpassing his original's, or Xemnas. He also realized that he could dual wield Master Xehanort's original Keyblade with Terra's Gaia Bane. He also had a trio of green diamonds across his forehead.

He started a ritual in order to revive Organization XIII, but was found by Mickey. Mickey enlisted Sora and Riku's help through a letter that kept us guessing for years after we beat Kingdom Hearts 2. Because of this, Xehanort couldn't revive all of his followers, but he succeeded in some. Calling themselves "The New Order," they were able to hold their own against Sora, Riku, and Mickey. In fact, our heroes were defeated quite brutally. In order to get rid of the thorn in his side, Xehanort banished Sora to the Realm of Nothingness. Sora couldn't find a way home, but he never lost hope.

Suddenly, a voice called out to him. It promised him great power. It told him he would be able to control not just light, but darkness as well. And he wouldn't be at risk like anyone else. He could use the power to defeat Xehanort and the New Order. All he would have to do is agree to let the voice help him. It took some pestering, but Sora finally agreed.

Riku and Mickey tried to find Sora, but they couldn't. Riku, however, believed that Sora could find his own way back and that he will. With that, they took on the New Order again. In the middle of the battle, Sora showed up in his silver Final Form. Floating behind him were three Kingdom Keys. Laying next to him, was an unconscious Roxas. Before Mickey, Riku, and even the New Order could get over their confusion, Sora reverted back to normal, but with sad eyes.

"We can't win" was all he said. It seemed the pact he made with the voice came at a price. Sora's greatest weapon, his hope.

Seeing a chance, Xehanort swooped in. He convinced Sora that if he can't win, he should switch sides. Something Sora surprisingly did. With that, the New Order -and Sora- disappeared. Riku and Mickey couldn't believe it. Could Sora really have joined the other side? And what happened to Roxas?

After a few days at Disney Castle, Roxas woke up. He said that something made its home in Sora's heart and by some strange effect, it kicked Roxas out. Still confused as to what was going on, Riku decided he would save Sora. Roxas and Mickey both agreed. Mickey left the care of the castle with Donald and Goofy, who were heartbroken with the news of what happened and left with the other two Keybearers to Yen Sid, seeking help. Yen Sid revealed that Sora made a "Pact." Pacts are special rituals, an ancient magic from long ago, between two beings. One being offers its power to another for a price. The result is a symbiotic relationship between the two and a special marking somewhere on the body. Yen Sid wondered if Xehanort's new power was a result of a Pact as well. With two Pacts on their side, The New Order could not be defeated by Mickey, Riku, and Roxas. He revealed that they would have to form pacts and thus the three left to go find partners.
If you've read all this, put "Nomura ****ed my mind" in your first post and pat yourself on the back.

The New Order

The New Order is the name of Xehanort's new team. It currently consists of him, Terra (albeit as an unwilling captive), Sora, Sora's unknown Pact Partner, and revived Organization XIII members. The members are revived as Nobodies and (if you choose Axel, Larxene, or Marluxia) are bound to Xehanort and cannot betray him directly. Because of the ritual he used, the members are now stronger than ever. Some may even have a new power or a Pact Partner. Depending on how many Organization members are picked, the team can have between 2 and 14 members, plus Pact Partners.

Pacts
​

Pacts are an ancient magic. Any two beings can make a Pact, though those who try usually go for someone with more power. The exchange of power comes at a price. A price that is unknown until the Pact is official. The price can be anything, from something physical (an arm) to a sense (losing your sight, or even your voice) to something mental (Hope.) After the Pact is made, some kind of mark is left on the person's body, corresponding to the price paid. For Xehanort, this is a set of diamonds on his forehead. For Sora, a Keyhole over his heart, hidden beneath his clothes. The Pact Partner is bound to the other. If one dies before the Pact is broken, so does the other. Pact Partners live outside of each other's body. However, Sora's Pact Partner seems to be hiding in his heart, and Xehanort twisted his pact to seal Terra in the gauntlet he wears.
PACT PARTNERS CAN BE ANYTHING (within reason). If you want to make a heartless or a Nobody or an Unversed your Pact Partner, go for it. If you want a dragon or a golem or whatever, go for that, too.

8. Sora, his "Pact partner," and Xehanort are all in my control. Along with

He unleashed the Guardian, who now had a mind of his own, and made his Pact. Because he lost the power of Light in the Pact, his Way to the Dawn Keyblade reverted back to the Soul Eater sword.

Whoa! I'm so calling in on this. Does a Pact have to be one way though? I mean, can TWO people form a Pact by combining power?

I was thinking about this, but not sure how to make it work.
I guess you could do it, but that means they'd both have to pay a different price.

I was going to say pick a pact partner for Roxas, but he's badass enough so you got him.

 

OCC: Can I join?

Good or Evil: Good
Element:Light
Pact Partner: Naminè
Pact price:?????
Pact Mark:????
Pact power: light
Other: Powerfullest and purest princess of heart. Has a normal life.

 

Ruinning with the current definition of The Pact, it's a contribution of power from one individual do another. So a mutual Pact being made would be one in which two beings simultaneously pool their power together. Kind of like a fusion in DBZ universe.

 

((I figured when I read the title the idea had to do with Drakengard, good game... But any who I wish to join I guess, just for the fun of it XD After reading all I can say, this was a bit of reading that I don't do here often. ^^; also I hope these characters and all are fine-))

I don't think you read the entire post or understand how pacts work.

Yep. That could work. As long as they don't do any weird dances or combine bodies and still pay individual prices.

I remember the game, from when my friend had it, but I've never played it myself. The idea of Pacts seemed awesome though. You're in.

 

Yeah I don't I'm a bit confused.

 

Pact Price: What your character loses in exchange for power. (i.e. Sora lost his hope, Riku lost his hope, etc.)
Pact Mark: The mark that shows that there was a pact. (Xehanort's three diamonds on his forehead)
Pact Power: What you gain from the pact.

Did I get it right, Bueno?

 

Ah I changed Riku's weapon to Soul Eater because I remembered something about it from the game, just fyi.
Also, Ego Imperium, if you want to go ahead and reserve your characters even if you still have questions or don't have the Pact details worked out, let me know.

Well, if you were talking about Kairi's Flowery Keyblade, it's called Destiny Place.
It's actually not really hers, but she's can wield it, according to the game, but for the sake of the RP, I'll let her keep it.

As for Pacts, it's like a deal for power.
You make a deal with someone or something for more power
but in return, you lose something (pact price) and you get a mark to show you lost it (Pact Mark).
In the original Drakengard game, a dragon saved the guy's life. In return, he lost his speech so he couldn't talk anymore and he got a tattoo on his tongue.
One guy lost his time so he couldn't age. His whole body was marked because it couldn't grow.
So if Kairi made a pact with Namine, she would get more power.
But she would lose something, whatever you want her to lose.

For everyone else in the RP,
Xehanort got Terra's body and Keyblade, but he lost something he doesn't know about yet.
Sora got more power of light, two more keyblades, power over darkness, but he lost his hope, so he's kind of permanently depressed.
Riku got control over darkness, but lost the power of Light.
Zexion lost all his memories and got the power to read minds.
Axel got more fire, stronger magic, better aim and eyesight, but he's forever hungry.
Get it now?

Or for a shorter explanation, KH2man's got it.

 

((Oh, I played Drakengard and got all the ending and beat Drakengard 2 and got 2 endings... Then my PS2 broke T_T lol... But it was fun while it all lasted, I do love the pact system along with the entire story plot ^^))

Well, if you'd like my words of wisdom may help (or at least hopefully...)

To have a pact power, you need a pact beast OR partner such as for demo, maybe your pact partner is Namine as you said, but it means you must lose something to equal out the gain of power- Like how I made Zexion lose his past memories, or how Sora has lost his hope. But, in turn, they have gained more powers from the lost of the pact. Zexion is faster and has more magic + can read minds, he didn't have all that before the pact. But another thing, he has to entire his pact partner does NOT die. So if Namine dies, Kairi will too, if Kairi dies, so shall Namine...

I'll give you some ideas of what you can lose/gain from the pact and I hope this is all helpful or I might cry T_T

Loss of being able to Speak, meaning Kairi cannot speak, but, at least Namine can for her =P

Loss of Mind, meaning Kairi has lost all her senses and becomes corupt.

Loss of sight, being that Kairi is blind and no longer can see.

Loss of aging, Kairi will never grow older, but, it doesn't mean she is immortal!

Loss of Beauity, Kairi will lose all that makes her pretty.

Loss of Hair, Kairi becomes bald, surely that's a no brainer to understand...

Loss of Emoations, she has no longer feelings about any thing...

Okay, and I can go on forever if I wished to, and now to gains you can have as a demo- btw these are not things you have to have, I'm just pointing to ideas to help...

More magic, more strength, new power(s), Faster, Better sense (i.e. sight, smell, hearing...), and so on so forth~

 

That was actually gonna be a part of it as their Pact Power. It would be no different from a drive form, IMO. But it's you call. Yes, they will be paying individual prices in the end. They will, however, not be starting as having made their pact, if that's alright.

 

Lol thanks, Cicada Killer. Nice suggestions.

Oh Ego, if that's their particular pact power, then it's fine. and it's completely alright if they don't start out as Pact Partners.

 

Sure thing ^^
