Number VII
Saix
The Luna Diviner


A wandering loner who has accepted the role of advocate and mediator for those around him. Only the moon breaks his icy calm.

Darkness and Light, trapped in it's own unique balance.

Doing: Running off SO FRIGGIN MUCH BERSERKER ENERGY OMG.
Recent: Was recruited by Archelius to assist with a necromancy-based project which seemed to have some mixed elements of voodoo and lovecraftian inspiration involved. Figured he had nothing much else going on so he'd go along with the project and see what comes of it.
WHAT CAME OF IT: http://endlessforest.org/community/unusual-magic
Now just basically trying to work off his berserk state, which seems a bit stuck tonight. Probably haven't used the form too long and too much energy has been back-stocked.

Personality
As far as personality goes, Saix is one of the more complicated nobodies. He lives up to the premise that the nobodies are generally incapable of emotions, yet remember how emotions function from having been a normal living being in the past. As such, he is very selectively expressive and comes across generally neutral or unnaturally calm. His absence of emotionalism favors pragmatism, though this often comes across as cold and distant. However, he is clearly not without ambition, and this is made evident in how he had been able to rise through the ranks of Organization XVIII to second in command before being slain and reforming in the endless forest. As far as attitude goes, he often sounds like a perpetual straight shooter, and as such his occasional to frequent sarcasm may be either completely missed or seem to pull the metaphorical rug from under the listener's feet.

He is extremely efficient, and focused on any task at hand, though he might not always take the most ethical or fair route to accomplishing tasks expected of him. He is quite aware of his lack of emotions, and has taken strides to fight against the internal emptiness. He is known to also be manipulative, often out of need to achieve direct goals or redirect situations in favor of the larger picture. He is not overly interested in small talk, though when there’s a purpose to a conversation he will speak quite elaborately and purposefully, and at those points it's hard to get him to shut up. He is something of an opportunist, and if there is something or someone he can use for any purpose, he will not hesitate to do so. As far as personal motivations go, he is not always inclined to explain his full intentions at any one time to any one individual, and often keeps key facts close to his chest until needed.

Under the light of the full moon and when dragged into combat, he loses his typically calm demeanor in favor of a berserker's fury, complete with a physical transformation which demonstrates a stunning amount of strength and energy. Although he is incapable of feeling any real emotion, he does seem to harbor the potential for genuine anger and potentially jealousy, though it could be a side effect from his berserk form's peculiarities.

He retains a level of kindness and loyalty to those that remain as allies or friends, and he still allows glimpses of his pre-nobody self to appear once in a while. Conversely, he may seem very cruel and uncaring toward those who are viewed as enemies, tools, or burdens. He has become very skilled in serving as a devil's advocate between other parties, likely thanks to his time serving a sort of double agent in Organization XVII at times. With the second disappearance of the Organization from the forest, Saix has found himself with very little to do and as such will often lend assistance to other deer for projects that need either a lot of guidance, direction, or any of his particular skill sets. Alternatively, he also serves as a sort of guidance counselor or mediator as needed since his lack of emotional investment helps keep arguments fact based and fair.



Position: Self Employed.

Appearance

Pelt: Light blue. Particularly long hair, though it is spiked and short at the top. His hair is significantly darker than the rest of his pelt. He has four practically white stripes on his back, and his hooves are a slightly darker shade of blue than his hair.

Eyes: Yellow, formerly green.

Markings: An X shaped scar between his eyes, and four bluish-white stripes heading down from his spine to underside.

Detail: Pointed ears, stud earrings, a "VII" mark on the base of his neck, which is usually covered by his hair. When Berserk, eyes become solid yellow, teeth become lupine-like, X-shaped scar becomes larger and more jagged, and his antlers change to resemble his claymore, "Lunatic".

Structure: While built more like a wolf, Saix is a rather tall stag with an almost feminine build. He is not exactly huge, but he is well muscled overall, and just at a glance one could tell he can hold his own in a fight. He has a very business-like demeanor, and generally holds himself as if constantly conducting a meeting. Though not outright visible, he has a lot of physical strength and endurance in his neck, legs, and back muscles, which are necessary in order to handle his 'berserk' antlers and their wild and seemingly uncontrolled usage.

Antler Phases: While in his normal state, his antlers are more of an extension of his mane than anything else. When he aims to summon Lunatic, his antlers become much longer and shift into a grayish white. The ends of his antlers change from a single point to an intricate, hollow, circular design, having a yellow axis in the center with arrow shaped points passing the outer circle, and seven small light blue tines loop around the entire circle. In his Berserk state, the central tine of the Lunatic antlers extends to duplicate the appearance of the initial summon, and double the size of his antlers, as well as increase how thick and intricate they are. At the base where his antlers expel from his head, a second ‘branch’ bursts out in front of the initial summoned weapon and duplicates the berserk appearance to an extent. This new branch however bares several wild tines close to his face and splits about six inches over his head, making a final number of six separate ‘arms’, all of which baring thirteen tines, not counting those at the base. The tines of the original design extend new white tines, several times longer than the blue. The circular pattern splits halfway to become two separate parts at the ends, connecting only at the central tine. Finally, small diamond shaped markings appear between the circular parts, with a thin carving lining from the base of his head to the ends. The antlers are extremely heavy, bare a wide range, and equally strong, but as a result, are fairly slow. After calming down, they’ll disappear, leaving six small navy points in their place which, will soon return to the original two.

+ The Bridge
- The Bridge: Location with a pleasant view. Will often hang out here when there's literally nothing to do otherwise.


Fighting
”Only you could have made it this far in one piece, Roxas.”


In forest, his fighting style mirrors that from KH2, KH3, and 358/2 Days. He will spend a good portion of the fight standing almost motionless as he draws power from the moon, then will attack recklessly and without restraint, causing rapid damage to just about everything around him until he recomposes himself. Literally, he goes berserk, at least temporarily. While not berserk, his attacks are more focused and deliberate, but also restrained and much slower. He has been noted to also summon pale blue fire in combat, especially while berserk. Generally, he does prefer to have nobodies and heartless do the fighting for him until it's necessary for him to step in. It's not unusual to see him commanding dusks, berserkers, and troops of heartless, or using them as leverage against those such as Sora and his friends, or others in forest.

Due to his new form as a deer, his berserk form is more swiftly accessed than as a human. This stems from the influence of more animal instinct taking root. While berserk, he does bite, howl, and generally behave like a rabid wolf on steroids until calmed. It takes longer for him to calm down in this new form, than as a human.


”Different name, same fate.”


Why?
I couldn't believe it. Roxas, Sora... had dealt the fatal blow. Every nerve in my body screamed as the last of my strength gave out. Still bathing in the light of Kingdom Hearts itself, I tried to remain composed. That traitor and his motley friends stood across the room, weapons at the ready. I unleashed everything I could at them, and still they seemed ready for more. Had I a heart, I don't know how I would feel about this. Disappointed… sad perhaps. I stumbled, barely able to stay on my feet while holding onto my claymore with one hand. My grip slipped, and it fell heavily to the ground, and dissolved into nothing as I staggered my way toward the window, leaving my vanquishers behind. Every step had been a trial on its own, and once I came close enough to that lunar heart, I could swear I had a taste of emotion again. Barely able to stand, I did my best not to fall over. Without me, the superior would be on his own… the last man standing to protect kingdom hearts, and the last to have even a chance at receiving his heart. The darkness began to overtake me, as I reached for that giant heart - created by thousands upon thousands of hearts collected over the past year. So close, but just out of reach.


"Why... Kingdom Hearts..."


"Where is my heart?"

We are creatures that cannot die, for we were not alive. This would be our equal to death, however. Blackness surrounded me as I continued to reach out, and soon it was all that remained.





---- Media ----


"Pitiful Heartless, mindlessly collecting hearts. And yet, they know not the power they hold. The rage of the Keyblade releases those hearts. They gather in darkness, masterless and free. Until they weave together to make Kingdom Hearts. And when that time comes, we can truly, finally exist."





-----


Notes:

This character heavily draws inspiration from the whole of the Kingdom Hearts series, but takes creative liberties to fit in with The Endless Forest.
