My take on the foretellers~

[meteoriccman]

back to my roots (shitposting)

[xiiiwayfinders]

Listen they're shitty little guys but they're MY shitty little guys

[masterfuldoodler]

Ok so I'm thinking about an AU where the foretellers are just animals. MoM got some crazy pets for his apprentice Luxu and they all hang out. They become such a big hit with the keykids they become the mascots for the unions

Unicorn Ira. Clearly the most mysterious. Where did MoM find a unicorn, how did he get it as a pet

Very aloof and ominous. Haunts the halls and wanders around late at night

Mostly hangs out in the library. Luxu doesn't think he's reading the books...he hasn't caught him yet

He helps MoM with his wacky stuff. Given the fact he's a unicorn and has magic of some sort lol

The most unnerving and possibly MoM's favorite

Luxu rode him down the hallway full gallop once and that's how those paintings got punctured

Bear Aced is a sleepy guy. He is also so huge

Rather affectionate, which is fun until it's a literally bear hug

Free couch. Free bed. Free table. Free chair. Free hugs. Convenient garbage can

They had to get interesting with the trash can he kept getting into it

Gets upset easily which is terrifying

Luxu may or may not have tried to walk him on a leash

Snake Invi. Long lovely lass

Scares most of the keykids when Luxu tried to show her off. It makes her sad

Loves to bop around and hang out with her people. Except when they're being crazy and running around

Hangs around Luxu's neck. His head. His arms. His leg. This does not bother him

The easiest to lose track of. This has stressed Luxu out a lot. He now has a fear of finding her squashed somewhere from Aced

Leopard Gula. His majestic cat self

Mysterious. Powerful. Gorgeous. Brooding. King of the coffee table

He has zoomies

Tried chasing Ira for sport but got 'poked'

Aced's napping buddy. Will lay across the whole couch. MoM has to kick him off if he wants to sit down and he finds this very annoying

Broke the coffee table. And multiple lamps

They had to start hiding the food better because he broke into the cabinets with Aced. They ate all the pet food and threw up

Does fall for the laser pointer

Fox Ava. MoM's actual favorite.

Everyone's favorite. Is adored and loved by all. Very spoiled

Loves running with Gula during his zoomies

A bit too hyper but actually behaves herself the best

Sleeps at the foot of the bed. Sleeps on his stomach. Sleeps on his face. Sleeps on his shoes

Luxu does in fact walk her on a leash

The emotional support friend for Gula the nervous big cat

They're all a big family 💕 and they freaked out so much when Luxu disappeared to do his watching over time thing

[endlessskymaster]

Gula, it would have been better if you had chosen to walk away, despite his attempts to fulfill his role.

Aced was suspected as the traitor for causing conflicts, but was not the one Gula sought.

[goldenchocobo]

I thought I'd put my hat in the ring with some Foreteller designs.

I struggled a LOT with Gula. Since he's so associated with Yellow, I had to fight off the urge to make him blond, and instead went with an earthy clay-red instead.

Ava is a nod towards the Namine-Ava theory. The rest kind of just... came to me; Aced and Invi especially. I think Ira could work with either white or black hair, I chose black here since it counteracts the rest of his outfit.

I think I made Luxu a bit too old here, but oh well.

[blazernot]

Here's the former team!!

KHOC WEEK 2024 Day 2 - Past

the things for my OCs are now the only ones I do, so, off with the annual @khoc-week appointment.😂

The protagonist of this post should have been Aspis, my little Anguis kid, but since Aspis is deeply connected to another character, it's probably better that I start with some headcanons I have about the Foretellers. Between those and the designs, at this point they feel a bit like OCs too. even tried to do a Nomura-esque version for the occasion.

The assumption is that the Foretellers were one of the many attempts on the chessboard of the Master of Masters to face the Darkness. He gathered under his protection a group of lonely and desperate kids, with a tormented past, acting in the grey area more than out of affection. He bet on them. He sought out children who possessed specific flaws of distinct deadly sins, trained them, and made them his apprentices on a journey designed to make them overcome their "sin" and use it as a virtue that will be essential to their future "roles." For example…

Gula, who lived on the streets as a feral child, has known hunger, and food is also how MoM attracted him. Gula suffered from bulimia and nervous hunger for years, before managing to direct his anxiety towards logic and study, becoming an analytical boy "hungry" for knowledge.

Ava, sold away by her once rich family fell in disgrace, wanted EVERYTHING back. everything she had lost, or that she wanted but could no longer afford. Mom was the one who has bought her, she's too young to understand the extent of the family tragedy. that's why she later was the perfect one for the task of choosing any wielder she desires or attracts her eye, without limits, collecting the Dandelion.

Aced has always used his muscles to win easily, alone, without effort and without ever really try to improving himself, until carelessness cost him his tribe and an eye… he is now a loyal follower and uses his strength to defend the group, the arm of the law under Ira.

Ira, balances strength in combat and intelligence, which are also the qualities of his union. stubborn and rebellious, as an angry teenager he ran away from home, losing his path. He was the first one found by Mom, and he owes him his life. He learned to control his anger because of him, obtaining determination, willpower and the courage that made him choose as Leader.

Luxu carried the burden of being an unwanted child, the result of an affair, from an early age he felt cursed by that because of a big birthmark on one eye that vaguely resembles an X. shy, insecure and reserved, people pleaser, until life with his apprentice companions brought out his mischievous and creative personality. His being a people pleaser made him incredibly attentive to the behavior of the people around him and the ideal candidate to infiltrate among people and live their lives, one after the other.

Finally, Invi.

like all the other foretellers, her name is more of a title. Her real name is Nivea, and she was isolated from her village because white hair was considered a bad omen. The resentment of having to survive alone, with a little brother to support, he too with lighter hair than was welcome, soon turned into Envy, gnawing at her insides every time Nivea stopped to observe the normality of other families, lurking and hating everyone but her brother Aspis.

MoM saved both, proposing a deal to Nivea: he would take care of them, they would have a roof over their heads, education, a future, as long as she studied under him.

With no other real choice, the children accept out of desperation.

Nivea and Aspis initially lived together, but as they grow older she is forced to uphold her end of the bargain, spending more and more time at the clocktower. Aspis and Nivea's relationship is ruined irreparably, as Invi begins to enjoy her studies and the company of her peers, spending less and less time with her brother "for a higher purpose".

On the other hand, Aspis, who has always remained silent about a subtle hostility from the inhabitants of Daybreak Town due to his bad temper and sharp tongue, is left almost alone. His only wish was not to be a burden to his sister, who therefore always believed everything was fine and let him go without regrets. Aspis is full of resentment towards Mom, blaming him for brainwashing his sister, now obsessed by Light and darkness, when she clearly only wanted a better life for them.

Aspis and Invi do not hate each other, but the lack of communication makes it difficult to make peace, they will miss their chance before the War.

Aspis eventually made some friends along the way, that made his loneliness bearable. he is in a sort of trio with Lupe and Leonna, and a little girl who for some reason adores him like a big brother, Velcia (she's @alchemist-of-thebes 's oc). he'll never admit it, but he would die for her.😂

concluding this post with some old foretellers art dump xD

[leastrife]

I wanna ramble about random KH headcanons I have because I’m bored and why not:

- Aroace Ienzo in a QPR with Demyx

- Autistic Ienzo

- Ienzo gets overwhelmed at things being messy but also feels overwhelmed at the idea of cleaning

- Trans Luxu

- All of the foreteller’s have ptsd

- Aroace Ephemer

- Trans Brain

- Brain pretends to like black coffee but secretly still uses creamer

- Ira and Aced are the oldest of the foreteller’s, Invi is a year younger, Ava, Gula, and Luxu are a few months apart

- Brain is demisexual and Lauriam was his first crush after they became friends

- Ansem x Even in a QPR

- Xigbar tried telling the foreteller’s minus Ava that MoM actually just screwed them over, Ira had the hardest time accepting it because he was the most devout to the masters teachings

- Luxu gets terrible nightmares for the first months after he possesses someone new but they eventually go away and he pushes away the guilt he has

- Aeleus is the one who found Ienzo and brought him to the castle and Even and Ansem adopted him

- Luxu always preferred using long distance weapons

- Apprentice Xehanort always felt out of place with the other apprentices

- After KH3 Ienzo is scared to admit he misses Braig since all of the others see him as having chosen the darkness and Ienzo knows that but Braig was still one of the ones who cared for him as a child

[missingmywing]

So I was just told @khoc-week was going on, and I can never resist gushing about my characters when given the opportunity haha. (And if any of these names ever seem familiar to another fandom, it’s because I created them as keykids first and then ported them over to FFXIV as Warriors of Light, because reusing oc avatars across multiple types of media is what I do. Eventually I’m going to settle on my lore for everyone and do a compare and contrast because I think it’d be fun.)

Day 1: Introductions!

So first up, the Party: Light’s Guard

They’re a neutral party of Keykids that don’t hold stock in Union loyalty or this War, they just want to protect the Light and World in general. Their immediate goal in the war is to protect the Dandelions until they leave, and then just help protect anyone who doesn’t want to fight in general as much as possible, as well as the younger Keykids who really shouldn’t be fighting, regardless of Union. Even knowing it’s a futile effort, they put their all into it.

The core members of the Party are my Keykids - Etheria is recruited by Brain a little bit after, but the party was founded by him, Yiskah, and Aella as members of Anguis. Vale, Rosalia, and Solis are all recruited early on. All of them except Brain were offered places amongst the Dandelions and turned it down 

The most familiar face: Etheria!

Age: 9 (arrival), 15 (death at the end of Union X)

Born in Enchanted Dominion, her mother is from a mercenary family who decided to settle down in one general place when she had Etheria. The father was a fae from the Spring Court who had to return to Court when Etheria was young due to Maleficent’s increasing bold attempts to expand her domain. Etheria was raised by her mother until Maleficent attacked when she was nine and killed her mother, drawing Heartless to the area. Etheria awoke to the keyblade when she fell into the Darkness between worlds, awakening in Daybreak Town and being recruited into Unicornis.

She represents the canon Keykid, so her story follows canon pretty closely - with a few twists. When the war is first starting to pick up, before the Dandelions leave, she’s attacked by a group of Leopardis members on the verge of turning Dark. Brain happens to be passing by and stops to help, chasing them off and helping Etheria to a house nearby that’s been converted into a meeting place for a neutral party - calling themselves Light’s Guard. They spend the war trying to protect any neutral wielders or the younger Keykids even as the Darkness spreads around them and they lose members to it.

Etheria clings tight to Light with the determined goal to protect at least the Dandelions even if she’ll never truly be able to protect anyone else. As the war drags on she begins to resent the Union Leaders who led them into this pointless war to begin with, and has an increasingly bitter rivalry with Master Aced, who for some reason seems to have it out for her (he’s noticed that she’s the favorite still remaining of Ira, Gula, and Ava, and Does Not Like Or Trust It).

At the end of the war she’s the only Keykid still alive on the battlefield after the darkness destroyed the World, her heart’s connection to Ephemera, Skuld, and Brain allowing her to cling onto the Light just enough to survive the destruction and acting as the anchor to allow the Dandelion’s Light to recreate the World - even in its broken form. And her heart makes a direct connection to Kingdom Hearts when it’s summoned due to it. In canon this… probably doesn’t mean much beyond perhaps explaining how the Missing Link protag eventually gets their memories back, but I have a couple of AUs where it’s absolutely pivotal to her character throughout the story. Ephemera and Skuld rescue her and wipe her memories but because she’s half-fae it’s imperfect and she gets her memories back much sooner than canon. She just… stays quiet about it because this isn’t the sort of situation she can fix, and it’s easier for everyone if she doesn’t say anything.

Canon plays out similarly, except Candy Crush Game Central Station is wrapped up by her and Ephemera much sooner and they return together for the entirety of the endgame segment. There is much pain involved. Especially since, when she pretends to be possessed, since she has fae magic, she casts a glamour over herself to turn her eyes gold and give her voice a reverb to really sell it. (Ephemera buys it until they start fighting and then he catches on and is devastated that she’s forcing his hand and sacrificing herself to stop the Darknesses). When she traps herself in the pipe with the Darknesses they kill her when they throw their little tantrum about being tricked, though she still dies hugging Chirithy like in canon.

Number 2: Yiskah!

Age: 18 (Death at the Keyblade Graveyard)

Born in the world of Atlantis, he fell into a Dark portal at 11 attempting to defend the world’s heart against Heartless, awakening to the keyblade and landing in Daybreak Town to be recruited into Anguis. He’s the oldest of the party and has had a very close friendship with Brain for years. He couldn’t bring himself to abandon all of the non-Dandelions to the war and so turned down Ava’s invitation when she offered it. He and Brain created a neutral party as a failsafe to protect the world and Dandelions against the Darkness as much as they were able for as long as they were able.

He was the de facto leader once Brain left, but he, Aella, and Etheria shared a lot of the responsibilities for running things. They protected as many as they could during the war, but he died on the battlefield of the Keyblade Graveyard after the Union Leaders vanished and left the remaining wielders on the battlefield to fall to the Darkness that destroyed the world. In canon he’s probably reborn as a nonentity, but in my main AU verse he’s actually the Missing Link protag because Etheria gets reincarnated as… someone else. No I’m not still annoyed at Nomura’s Xehanort bait and switch reincarnation implication after I’d already started writing out my verse plans. of course not.

Number 3: Aella!

Age: 16 (Death at the Keyblade Graveyard)

Born into the World of Olympus, she’s the demigod daughter of Athena. She grew up training to eventually be a hero, because her father was a minor noble and hoped for his daughter to eventually gain recognition and raise their family status. This mentality meant that she was killing monsters and solving problems… until she was sent after a monster that turned out to be a Heartless, and her sword or magic couldn’t even touch it. She awakened to the Keyblade, but accidentally opened a pathway to Daybreak Town in the process and decided to stay and join Vulpes to protect the world at large. She quickly befriends a boy who was from the same world as her, a demigod son of Thanatos named Valérios who arrived not long before her. They partied together for a while before she met and befriended Yiskah and Brain. They began to drift apart, and she eventually switched Unions to join Anguis, causing a bit of bitterness and resentment from Vale for the perceived betrayal and abandonment.

The rift seemed to heal when the war broke out and she invited Vale to join their neutral party, but the seeds of Darkness had long been planted and she was his primary target when he fell to Darkness and betrayed them, trying to kill the party and those they protected. Aella barely survived the betrayal, and became closed off and wary after the fact. She became colder and more aggressive when it came to pushing back the Dark bearers and protecting everyone they could, clashing often with Vale when he showed up. They had a final duel at the Keyblade Graveyard which killed them both, even before the Union Leaders vanished and the Darkness consumed everything.

Number 4: Solis!

Age: 12 (Death at the Keyblade Graveyard)

Solis was born to a Romani woman in La Cité des Cloches, though she was killed by the city guards when he was young. He mostly raised himself, with some help from various members of the Court of Miracles over the years, and grew into a particularly skilled pick pocketer and thief, with a propensity for showmanship when the mood struck him. He proudly claimed that he was on very good terms with Lady Luck - until he had a turn of misfortune when he pushed one of the guards too far and they turned into a Heartless and attacked him, drawing more into the world with their Darkness. He fell into a Dark portal and awoke to the Keyblade between worlds, landing in Daybreak Town and immediately taking to the Leopardis Union. He and Gula get along well.

He’s a bit of a social loner up until the war, making friends with anyone and everyone and jumping from party to party with cheer and friendliness, but he doesn’t really trust easily enough to have real friends. He eventually meets Rosalia, and they get along thick as thieves until the war breaks out and their Unions start turning on each other. They stick together though, and get recruited to the Light’s Guard by Aella when she helps them out of a sticky fight. Solis latches onto the party with a fierce loyalty and determination to rescue as many kids from the war has they can. He’s stung hard when Vale turns on them and tries to kill the kids, but the fact that they entire rest of the party fights back as well puts him a bit at ease.

But they all know it’s a hopeless war, and they can’t really protect anyone.

Solis dies in the Keyblade Graveyard when the Union Leaders vanish and leave the remaining Keykids to the encroaching Darkness, endless Heartless and Darklings picking off the surviving Keykids who all band together in the final moments to hold it back, until the last Lights are consumed.

Number 5: Rosalia!

Age: 16 (Death at the Keyblade Graveyard)

Rosalia was born of questionable parentage in Tortuga in the world of The Caribbean. She grew up in Tortuga for several years until she stowawayed on an outgoing pirate ship, only revealing herself when they were several days out and it would be more lucrative to put her to work then turn back. The Captain was impressed enough by her determination and audacity that he allowed it, putting her to work maintaining the ship to earn her keep as a crew member. She stayed for several more years until an attack on a merchant vessel went wrong and the Navy showed up to defend them. The ship was sunk and the crew killed, the Darkness drawing Heartless and sending her falling between worlds. She awakens to the keyblade and lands in Daybreak Town, gravitating immediately to Ursus.

She’s fairly easygoing until a fight is picked, and then she gets intense. She’s got lots of friends to party with, being used to working in a large group, but her intensity and power means no one she’s willing to put up with tends to stick around for long so she doesn’t have a steady group. She eventually meets Solis, and they hit it off immediately and tend to stick together more often than not. When the war breaks out and their Unions turn against each other they start distancing themselves from their Unions, eventually being recruited by Aella into the Light’s Guard. Rosalia likes them, and like Solis gets protective of the many kids they pick up. She nearly kills Vale when he turns on them and tries to kill the people they’re protecting, stopped only when he runs away and she’s not willing to leave the others behind to chase after him.

She’s front and center at the final battlefield, tearing her way through any Darklings, Heartless, or semi-dark wielders who get in her way. She aims for the Union leaders, pissed off and betrayed that they set all this up and they all know it, but they’re all so focused on each other and Etheria that she can’t pin them down long enough to actually fight them through the many other wielders. She very nearly falls to Darkness herself when they disappear and she realizes they’ve abandoned them all to Darkness in one final betrayal, and only Solis and Etheria calling for her aid in watching their back pulls her back to clinging to Light.

Not that it matters, when the Heartless kill them all and Darkness consumes everything in the end.

Number 6: Valérios!

Age: 17 (Death at the Keyblade Graveyard)

Born in the world of Olympus, Valérios grows up a bit of a pariah because of his very obvious status of being a demigod of some sort of Underworld god. He can see and hear whispers of the dead, and he nearly got himself in trouble several times when he was young when he tried to warn people who he saw were close to death. Everyone was a bit scared of him, and he spent more time alone listening to the whispering dead than he did involving himself with the living people around him. He found a Dark portal by chance when he was a bit older and walked willingly into it to find out what would happen. It tried to drown him out, but his Light and wish to help others and become a Hero was still bright enough to awaken his keyblade and guide him to Daybreak Town, where he joined Vulpes to take advantage of the fresh start.

He was still a bit of a loner, cold and kind of off-putting, but he found people to party with despite that. He eventually met Aella, and they bonded over their shared world and its expectations and the wish to become a Hero written into the stars. But time and increasing Darkness and strain of the Unions slowly caused them to drift apart, and Vale was extremely bitter and resentful when Aella left Vulpes to join Anguis and her new friends, his one real friend abandoning him as well. He begins leaning closer and closer to the Dark as the war breaks out and death and Darkness starts drowning everything else out, feeding his feelings of abandonment and betrayal.

It recedes for a time when he’s invited to join Aella’s new party, but he still feels apart, like he’s just extra and everyone else is friends while merely tolerating him. The Dark whispers louder and louder in his head, his thoughts caught into a downward spiral, until some minor incident where he’d separated from the party during a mission causes him to snap and fall. Everything around him is fake, a lie, and if death and Darkness are the beginning and end of everything anyway then he might as well hasten that process. No lie is worth this fake Light, everyone is born and dies alone. He’ll return everyone to that same lonely state he’s been in his whole life.

He attacks the party off an on as the war continues, clashing especially with Aella and Rosalia, until the final battle when he duels Aella one final time and they kill each other even before the Darkness consumes everything.

In the final moments of his life, he’s still not sure if he’s won or lost.
