#KH OC Week

[serenedash]

happy @khoc-week!!! kicking it off with my khux oc Monty!!! they're in unicornis and originally from Twilight Town!

they're a laid back wielder who goes with the flow and can have trouble connecting with people due to not being very expressive but is always down for a good time :) their keyblade is called Red Chiv and is long and weighty, meant for physical attacks! It's heavy on both ends hence the big angled hand guard, my idea was that you could hold it from either end so spinning the keyblade would also be ideal for attacks. also the hand guard it backwards the angled end is supposed face inwards oops

KH OC WEEK 20204

Day 3: connections

This took a bit longer than meant, but with the amount of things I wanted to include, it felt important to take my time.

Shiro’s part focusses a lot more on the relationships between them and the canon characters, while Aiko’s, Merin’s, Viktor's, and Tähti’s parts focus on the relationship they have with each other. (And some additional canon characters.)

Also there’s a lot of text here so sorry about any spelling mistakes haha.

Shiro

Xehanort (young)

Helped Shiro to get out of the realm of darkness and is helping them to recover their memory.

I am a firm believer that despite his cold demeanor, Xehanort has the capability of expressing other emotions outside of being a snarky jerk. He just needs to be around the right kind of people to bring that side of him out, and Eraqus and Shiro are exactly the sorts of people to make his brain cells die. /pos

Xehanort’s interest in becoming Shiro’s friend is due to his dreams as a boy of a mysterious child who he believes to be Shiro. (Some lost childish part of him does genuinely wish to be their friend, but he is also quite interested in Shiro’s connection to the keyblade war.)

They spent a couple years peacefully as friends attempting to recover Shiro’s memories, before Shiro uncovered Xehanort's true plans and the two ended up parting ways to fight on the opposite sides. They’re so divorced LMAO

Shiro feels quite betrayed and thinks their friendship was just a plot to get information out of them, while in reality their friendship was still genuine despite Xehanort's hidden motives.

They have a very bittersweet relationship.

Like when you just have that one person who sees right through you and you could just sit in complete silence for forever and still have a good time.

But oh my god do they also just bring out the worst in each other LMAO.

Xehanort is still a snarky bastard 99% of the time, and Shiro is so ready to throw his snarkiness back at him. It is remarkable if they get through a conversation without one of them trying to piss off the other one.

Anyhow they are so doomed by the narrative.

I’ve had a difficult time defining the relationship between these two, but in recent years since becoming aware of my own feelings as an aroace person, I feel like queerplatonic is a really good way to put it. I think that there can be strong emotions and love held between two people without it necessarily having to be romantic, and that’s just as wonderful as any other relationship.

Aqua

The first person Shiro came across once they emerged in the realm of darkness.

Shiro has a lot of admiration towards her and hopes to meet her again!

Shrio definitely has a little crush on her haha

Roxas and Xion

Shiro’s keyblade apprentices!

adopted little siblings

Shiro fought relentlessly to keep both of them safe but ended up failing as they both returned to Sora.

Losing them was a big wake up call to the organization's true nature and Xehanort's sinister plans.

Namine

Little sister<<3

Shiro took one look at her and was like “yup anything happens to her and I’ll make everyone's life a living nightmare”

Got Namine her crayons and sketchbook

Was very devastated when she had to return to Kairi.

Axel/Lea

Pyromaniac besties

Co-paretning Roxas and Xion (platonic)

They became good friends during their time in the organization, and they made an oath to bring Roxas and Xion back after Axel’s recompletion.

Shiro tutors him and Kairi on keyblade wielding, during their time in The Secret Forest.

Ephemer and Skuld

Childhood Bestfriend

Shiro has foggy dreams and visions of the both of them. (They truly haunt Shiro’s life like it’s a full time job)

Even once called Sora “Ephemer” by mistake. They were both extremely confused.

Shiro is actively trying to find them.

Aiko and Merin

The two start off on a bad foot due to a misunderstanding that led to Aiko and Viktor leaving their homeworld. Aiko thought Merin was the one to invade their world with darkness and ended up chasing after her through a dark corridor. In reality, Merin and Tähti were running away from Ansem (SOD) and happened to pass through their world.

Aiko and Merin ended up becoming separated from Viktor and Tähti and end up begrudgingly teaming up to find their families .

During their time together, they end up eventually becoming friends and even end up getting into a relationship together later on.

Their opposite personalities seemed like an issue when they first met, but they grew to love and learn from those differences and they’ve really helped each other to grow as people.

Viktor and Tähti

Viktor was at first very frustrated to be left to babysit a child, but switched into big brother mode pretty much subconsciously.

They’re a funny little duo since they’re both terrible fighters and are pretty much constantly just running for their lives.

Viktor appreciates Tähti’s quiet personality and knows to be patient with them.

Tähti also didn’t care too much about Viktor at first, but seeing him make an effort to keep them safe reminded them a lot of Merin.

Other friends!

Tähti, Namine and Xion!

Tähti met Namine during one of her visits to Ansem’s lab, and after some encouragement from the others, Tähti manages to strike up a conversation with her.

The two have a shared interest in art and like sharing their work with each other!

Tähti also got introduced to Xion through Namine, and despite Tähti’s antisocial nature, the two ended up quickly becoming good friends. (Nothing is as strong as the bond between two neurodivergent teenagers)

I like to think Kairi hangs out with them occasionally, but also she’s kinda busy trying to find Sora :’)

Viktor and Ienzo

Met post kh3 and became quick friends over their similar personalities and shared interest in tech.

Everyone around them was very excited that they were finally making friends. (Ansem and Aiko wiping a tear out of the corner of their eye)

Merin and Vanitas

Weird little brother creature thingy kinda

They met briefly while Merin and Aiko visited the realm of darkness.

They had a short confrontation where they fought with Merin winning.

Didn’t have the chance to talk much outside of that, but I think they have a secret mutual respect for each other due to being similar beings.

Merin and Isa

Got introduced post kh3 and ended up befriending each other as Viktor was spending more time with the apprentices.

They match each other’s tired energy

They like to just kinda sit back and watch as their friends mingle.

KHOC WEEK DAY 5 - UNIQUE - @khoc-week

Do you remember why you named me Saorise?

Decided I'm gonna focus on one of the three I started the week with for today and tomorrow since I could only do one yesterday aswell. So for today's prompt, I chose Saorise as a chance to develop her more and because she fits the prompt very well.

The name Saorise means Freedom. Invi named her this to give her agency and to show the pity she had for the firsts as a whole. Invi thought that the master of masters nearly went too far with this experiment - making living beings that only represent someone's negative emotions could surely lead them to ruin - so she named her first Saorise to give her agency and the motivation to be whoever she wanted to be, not just the negative emotions that bound them together.

Saorise, someone who is pure envy, hated the pity being shown to her. But, as she was being given freedom, she ran with it. She had to stay within the union, but she used her position to her advantage and became known as the 'Prince of Anguis'. Everyone wanted to partner up with her - everyone wanted to be her. What makes Saorise unique is her charm and powers of manipulation. She is unique because she is worshiped by her union.

All because she is envy. All because she wants others to love her, and she wants desperately to love others but due to being what she is - she can't bring herself to trust anyone. Not even the other firsts - at least not fully.

When confronted by Invi about her behavior, Saorise was able to easily turn the conversation in her favor.

"Well, why did you name me Saorise, then? Didn't you give me the freedom to choose who I wanted to be?" "I'm just trying to make your union strong, master! After all, you're so busy watching after the other foretellers, as is your role, so please - leave matters of the union to me. I'll make sure they are ready for the war." "Are you jealous, Master? That I have more love from your wielders than yourself? Good. It means I'm doing my job correctly. You forgot so quickly, didn't you? That I am your inner thoughts, I am your want to be loved by everyone, I am envy." "Oh yes, I am well aware I could be anyone else - I could choose not to fall into my sin, I could choose not to contribute to the union at all! But that's the thing about sin, isn't it? Do you think it would be called sin if it was so easy to break free from? If it was so easy to not choke on it, suffocate, and only be able to speak lies and pretty words that people want to hear and not the truth. The truth that I'm suffering every day. The truth that it's your fault that I can't trust others, that I can't be normal, that I exist at all in this sorry state! You dare name me freedom and yet fail to see the shackles which you put on me yourself!"

Saorise is probably the most unhinged of the firsts - probably because Invi is one of the most put-together. They are direct opposites of one another, and while Invi managed to tame Saorise, give her a name, and get her to stay within the union - it came at the cost of Saorise's waning sanity.

kh oc week day 6 - one choice, new life

💫🎶✨ @khoc-week

[ with her newfound confidence, harper made the decision to upgrade her keyblade. it may sound small, but it was a big step in her journey to feeling secure in her abilities, no longer feeling weighed down by the former version, star lyre. ]

[masterfuldoodler]

Day One: Introductions

Name: Caelum. Age: 15 years old. Title: Keyblade Wielder.

Caelum is a keyblade wielder in training. He lived with his brother (14) until he came of age and moved to Scala ad Caelum where the rest of the keyblade wielders are. Unfortunately, Caelum misses his brother and is trying to figure out how to bend the rules to get him to join him. The two of them shared a dream of training and getting their mark of mastery together. When he finally gets the masters to agree to it, his brother has gone missing. Caelum runs away and sets out searching the worlds for him, along the way he runs into some interesting people...

Caelum inherited his keyblade from his family's long line of keyblade masters. His affinity is magic, and has always been gifted at it. Able to do spells with ease. He's a rather nervous guy (people pleasing tendencies) but is down to break the rules for the things he cares about.

Huge thank you to @meadow-roses for helping me design him. She make the keyblade and helped on so many details.

First day (and first time) of kh oc week, hosted and organized by @khoc-week

[divine-cricetinae]

Kh oc week

Day 2 - new world

Every world was a new world to Aronia, but there are some specific ones..

Pixie hollow- where the lightbringers went to help a very familiar fairy find her true talent while combating heartless that take the form of sprinting thistles

throughout this Aronia too struggles alongside Tink in feeling like she isn’t fit for her roll as a keyblade wielder…Even at one point contemplating if she would be better off as a fairy living here forever, watching everyone else being so confident in what they do didn’t help either. That is, until during some sprinting thistle stampede she was able to defend her own mentor with the skills she possessed. It was a needed boost of confidence.

Wonderland - the intended purpose was to find and help Alice get back home, instead the lightbringers became caught up in a mad tea party’s maddening requests to the point where most felt like they too were going insane, all except Aronia. She felt comfortable with this world and its strangeness, being in her element the entire time and playing along with everything much to the degrading mental states of her comrades.

nothing was learned here except that they are never going back to wonderland. Which was a shame, she felt like it was home…

Dumbo - on a quest to reunite a little elephant with his mother, the lightbringers find themselves as a literal gaggle of clowns in a circus trying to do exactly that while putting on a show like they aren’t inter dimensional travelers. Like the last world Aronia was loving it, goofing off and making others laugh..She became quite attached to Dumbo.

but then she witnessed cruelty she hadn’t seen in this life, cruelty from others..Cruelty from circumstances and cruelty from oneself…Seeing Dumbo ridiculed for something he could not control caused the already empty chasm in her chest to widen. And while they were able to give the elephant a happy ending, the whole experience changed Aronia for the worse and unlocked something that was buried within.

Neverland - A trip that wasn’t planned at all. in fact they crash landed in this world to escape a heartless far more powerful than they expected, even so it had a profound impact on Aronia. They were all separated on different parts of the island, leaving her to momentarily join the lost boys.

through this she finds out more and more about herself while defending her new group from dangers until ultimately fully discovering that she is a nobody (something the others knowingly kept from her) and, much like peter man, will never grow up to have a full life like the rest of the keybladers she came to see as family.

KH OC Week 2023 - Day 7

*Rubs hands evilly* I've been waiting for this prompt. It's focused on Eileen because she's the Keykid that actually gets a happy ending. There was a different version of this oneshot, but I liked this one way better. It's been really amazing to see everyone's OCs. I can't wait for next year.

@khoc-week

Day 7: Happily Ever After

Three years had passed since the destruction of Daybreak Town. Eileen wounded up at what once used to be her home. Miraculously, Ephemer had as well. She hoped that their companions had too, but they hadn't. Gathering pieces of Daybreak Town, she and Ephemer reformed it into what was now called Scala ad Caelum. The silent and lonely streets gradually filled with more residents.

The painful moments of the past lingered but Ephemer and Eileen found solace in each other. Often times, Eileen would catch Ephemer staring off into the distance with a melancholy expression. Whenever she asked him if he was alright, he would smile and act like nothing was wrong but Eileen knew that something was bothering him. 

"Are you okay, Eileen?"

Ephemer's question caused the brunette to blink and tear her gaze away from the sky, turning towards him. They were standing near the ocean, the breeze ruffling their hair. As Eileen stared at Ephemer, she noted how his appearance had changed over the years. He had grown a few feet taller and his hair was still messy as ever. He no longer had the round and chubby cheeks of a young boy. Instead, his face was chiseled and sharp as stone. As for Eileen herself, she had grown taller as well and let her hair grow out to her waist. 

Smiling, Eileen nodded. "Yeah. I'm okay. Just thinking."

"Of what?" Ephemer asked curiously.

"Of how long we've been here. It's been three years."

"It really has been that long, huh?"

Eileen saw a flash of emotion in Ephemer’s eyes. Sorrow. Once more, she gazed up at the sky. Her mind drifted to a memory from the past: A memory that had brought them to their current fate. 

Eileen was taking a stroll around Daybreak Town when she saw a rift of static energy manifest above the Clock Tower. She decided to investigate, bumping into Ephemer and Ophelia in the process. It seemed that they were doing the same thing she was as well. The trio went to the Clock Tower, meeting the other Union leaders there. After a discussion of what to do regarding the strange occurrence that were glitches, Ephemer and Ophelia traveled to a world within the database while the others remained in the computer room.

After minutes of awaiting the news, Ephemer returned. Trouble arose then. Lauriam argued with everyone about the whereabouts of his sister, Strelitzia. He attacked Ventus when the younger boy said that it was him who had killed Strelitzia, prompting everyone to stop Laurium from attacking him. Suddenly, a shadowy figure emerged from Ventus and explained that it was Darkness and the reason for Strelitzia's death. This started a fight, but the Union leaders and Eileen couldn't defeat it. It was too powerful. However, Ophelia arrived to provide assistance. 

The group split up for some time, eventually regrouping along with a girl named Elrena. Returning to the computer room, they saw the destruction of the real Daybreak Town. There were eight of them but only five lifeboats were available. Brain, Lauriam, Ventus, and Elrena went back while the other four stayed behind. 

"You should've gone back too, Eileen." Ophelia said. 

In response, the brunette shook her head. "No. I'm a Dandelion, but I'm your friend first so I'm staying."

"Do you think they made it back safely?" asked Skuld. 

"Of course. Brain's with them." Ephemer replied.

"Yeah. He's always got a plan unlike someone I know." Ophelia chimed in.

Ephemer was offended by that statement, his eyes blown wide as he glanced at the blonde from over his shoulder. "Hey!"

Bursts of laughter then filled the room. Eileen hadn't felt like this in forever. She couldn't remember the last time she had fun. Like every other Keyblade wielder, she was going on missions and collecting Lux so they didn't have much opportunities to do anything else.

A few minutes of silence passed before Skuld spoke up. "I can't believe the world is ending."

Ephemer nodded in agreement. "Yeah. It's so quiet." 

Eyes widening, Ophelia quickly turned around. "Guys." She summoned Starlight in her hand. "Guys!" 

Four Darknesses had surrounded the group. One asked them to open a gate, but Ephemer refused. He and the other Keyblade wielders were going to engage in battle when Ophelia suddenly attacked Ephemer. Their Keyblades clashed as the silver-haired boy quickly defended himself.

“Ophelia! What’s wrong?!” 

Skuld’s Keyblade vanished and she rushed over to Ophelia, putting her hands on her shoulders. “Stop!” 

Ophelia elbowed the girl hard enough to send her crashing to the ground. Eileen watched in confusion and terror. It didn’t make sense. She was fine just moments ago. What had made her behave this way?

“What happened to you, Ophelia?!” 

“Ophelia’s heart has been lost to darkness.” Ophelia declared, her usual delicate voice becoming monotone. 

Skuld raised her head, despair wavering in her eyes. “No…”

Ephemer couldn’t believe it. There was no way that his friend would fall to darkness that easily. “Ophelia!” 

“She cannot hear you.”

“Wait. Are you—?”

“I am formless. You cannot destroy me.” 

Rising to her feet, Skuld turned to face Ophelia. “I thought we’d dealt with you…”

“Ophelia…” Without warning, Ephemer was struck by the blonde and collided with the floor. 

Ophelia walked towards him, her expression holding nothing but emptiness. “Open a gate and she will be returned.” 

Ephemer weakly stood up, brows furrowed. “No.” 

Skuld and Eileen joined him to fight Ophelia, but it was futile. She had bested them. All three Keyblade wielders laid on the ground, breathing heavily from the intense battle. Ophelia walked behind an unconscious Skuld and stared down at her. 

“If only you’d gotten in the lifeboat.”

Using his arms to sit himself up, Ephemer pleaded. “Stop… Ophelia…”

"Snap out of it…" whimpered Eileen.

“Let your hatred grow.” Ophelia mused, raising her Keyblade over her head. “It fuels us.”

Realizing what she was going to do, Ephemer let out a scream. “No!!!” 

A beam of white light formed from the tip of his Keyblade which pierced Ophelia’s heart as she prepared to slay Skuld. Suddenly, a portal appeared behind her and the four Darknesses. 

It was like everything had happened in slow motion. As Ophelia and the Darknesses were being drawn into the portal, Eileen could’ve sworn that Ophelia was looking at her and mouthing something. Then, she and the enemy vanished. 

Ephemer blinked, his expression morphing into horror upon what he had just done to his dear friend. “I’m sorry.” He shut his eyes, lips pursed as he attempted to keep the tears at bay. “I’m so sorry…”

“... leen? Eileen? Hey. What’s wrong?”

The brunette lifted her head from staring at the ground, her eyes widened slightly as she gazed at a concerned Ephemer. “Huh?”

“You’re crying…”

Placing a hand onto her cheek, Eileen felt something wet. A sniffle escaped her and she soon broke down. She couldn’t hold it in anymore. It was too much. 

A look of surprise appeared on Ephemer’s face before he smiled and brought Eileen into a hug. He allowed her to cry into his chest, his arms around her body tightening. “It's okay. Let it all out."

They had both suffered a great deal. They lost their previous home and allies they once knew. Things would never return to how they used to be. 

Ephemer lightly patted Eileen on the back. "I'm glad you're here, Eileen."

Eileen's cries and whimpers increased by the minute, her tears staining Ephemer's jacket. Ephemer didn't mind one bit as he rubbed circles onto her back, trying to comfort her as best he could. Eventually, Eileen calmed down and took a step back, rubbing her eyes.

“You should go."

“Right. Do you want to come with me?"

“Sure.”

“Okay. Let’s go, then.”

Ephemer held his hand out to Eileen who took it without a second thought. Then, they started to head to their location. As they walked, Eileen smiled as she looked down at their intertwined hands. Even though they had been through so much anguish, she was happy right now.

They soon entered a building with a massive room and a group of adolescents sprinted towards them with bright smiles.

“Master Ephemer! Eileen!”

“What are you going to teach us today, Master Ephemer?!”

Ephemer laughed at their enthusiasm. “Calm down. We’ll be starting soon.”

“Eileen,” One of the students, a girl, began. "Are you and Master Ephemer going to get married?”

Eileen almost choked. “W-What?”

"It's just that the two of you are very close. Master Ephemer treats you like a lady.”

“Yeah!” A male student agreed.

“Um… Well…” Eileen felt heat rise to her cheeks and she scrambled to find the right words to say. She and Ephemer were just friends. Nothing more, nothing less. At least, that was what she kept telling herself. “It’s true that Ephemer and I are close, but we're just friends."

“What? Really?”

A female student slumped forward, disappointed by Eileen's reply. "Aw. I think you'd make a good couple."

“All right, all right. That’s enough.” Ephemer chuckled. “Let’s start training, shall we?”

Eileen waved a hand in farewell to the apprentices, then faced Ephemer, her lips curled slightly. "I'll see you later, Ephemer."

The young man returned the smile and nodded. "Yeah. I'll see you later."

Turning on her heel, Eileen left the training grounds and made her way home. Her gaze flitted to the cobblestone road as the words of the apprentices rang in her ears.

She and Ephemer were both at that age where marriage was possible. Their relationship was close-knitted to the point where one could call them lovers. Deep in her heart, Eileen wanted them to be. Yet, she feared being rejected and ruining what they had now.

“Hey, Eileen. Where are you heading off to?”

She froze and glanced over her shoulder, noticing a young man with mid-length turquoise hair. A small section of it was tied into a short ponytail. His eyes were orange. If Eileen remembered correctly, his name was Gavin. He was arrogant and never cared for anyone else but himself so Eileen avoided interacting with him. However, she forced on a smile. "Hi, Gavin. I'm going home. Why?"

Gavin shrugged his shoulders. "Just wondering. Wanna hang out with me for a bit?"

"No, thanks. I'm tired."

"Sheesh. You're such a killjoy. Come on. Just this once. I'm so bored."

"Fine..." Eileen sighed defeatedly.

A grin broke out onto Gavin's face. "Great! Follow me!"

Eileen reluctantly followed him, spending the rest of her day in the city. Gavin dragged her around like luggage to his favorite spots, talking her ear off while doing so. Before long, the sky was tinged orange from the evening sun. Eileen and Gavin were seated on a bench that overlooked the ocean, gazing at the sunset as it disappeared into the line of the horizon.

"I've been wondering about this for a while." Gavin said, breaking the silence. "How long have you liked Ephemer?"

Eileen whipped her head towards him, astonished. "Huh?"

Gavin looked at the young woman with narrowed eyes. "Don't play dumb. I've seen the way you look at him."

For a few minutes, Eileen was silent. She furrowed her brows, a slight blush on her cheeks. "I've liked him ever since we were kids."

"You should tell him that."

"I probably won't." Eileen said, averting her gaze to the ground.

"How come?"

"You're really annoying."

Gavin smirked. "Yeah. I get that a lot." He placed one of his hands behind his head, humming quietly. "Seriously, though. Why aren't you gonna tell Ephemer?"

"Because he would never like someone like me. He never will." Eileen let out a sigh before continuing on. "I had a friend named Ophelia. She liked Ephemer too. I was jealous of her. But compared to her, I... I'm just..."

Before she knew it, tears pooled at the corner of her eyes. She let out a shaky breath, trying to not let them fall. However, it was no use. The tears built up until they couldn’t be contained anymore and rolled down her cheeks. Eileen sniffled, wiping her face with the back of her hand. 

Gavin sat in silence, not knowing how to ease her worries. All of a sudden, a voice from behind him and Eileen caught their attention.

"Eileen?" Ephemer stood a few inches away from the bench, concerned.

Rising to his feet, Gavin maintained eye contact with Eileen. "Well, I guess that's my cue to leave. Bye, Eileen. Good luck."

Eileen watched as his figure disappeared from view. She tensed as Ephemer replaced him, turning her head the opposite way so that he wouldn't see her tears. Ephemer frowned and cupped her face with both hands, making her gaze into his eyes.

"I've been looking all over for you. What's wrong? Did he make you cry?" The silver-haired man declared, brushing her tears away.

"No..."

"What happened?"

Eileen went quiet, considering whether or not to tell him. A deep sigh then left her mouth. “I don’t deserve this. I don’t deserve to be with you. Ophelia should be here. Not me.”

Ephemer was bewildered. "What? Don't say that, Eileen. Ophelia has a special place in my heart, but I like having you here." He smiled, gently grasping her hands in his. "You've kept me company and reassured me when I needed it. I wouldn't know what to do without you. So, thank you. Thank you for staying with me." 

Pursing her lips, Eileen pondered yet again if she should voice out her thoughts. “I... I love you. I’ve always had. You're so nice. You gave me courage to fight and hope for a better future. But there's no way you would like me. I wasn’t like Ophelia. I’m boring, stupid, and useless.”

For a couple of minutes, Ephemer was silent. He had a serious expression on his face which made Eileen nervous. Why was he staring at her like that?

"That's not true." The young man announced.

"Huh?"

"You're the complete opposite of what you said.” 

With a smile, Ephemer caressed Eileen's knuckles with the pads of his thumbs. “You’re the nicest and strongest girl that I know. I've said it before, and I'll say it again. I’m glad that you’re here, Eileen. When I'm too focused on other things instead of myself, you're always looking after me. I'm grateful. To be honest, it should be me that doesn't deserve you. I've caused you, Ophelia, and so many others a lot of trouble." A shade of pink engulfed his cheeks. "Remember that question about us getting married earlier? I… I wouldn't mind if that happened." 

"What?"

"I'm serious. I want to spend the rest of my life with you."

Eileen could've pinched herself at that very moment. This wasn't a dream, was it? "Really?" 

"Really." 

"You’re not joking, right?"

Ephemer swept a loose strand of Eileen’s hair away from her face, resting his hand on her cheek once more. "No, I'm not. I want to be with you as more than a friend. If you'll let me." 

Eileen was at a loss for words. This had to be a dream. However, she didn't want to wake up. After a few moments, she spoke. “Is it really okay for me to be with you?" 

"Of course it is. Can I… kiss you?"

Blushing, Eileen nodded and replied in a quiet voice. “Yeah.”

Closing the distance between them, Ephemer pressed his lips onto hers gently. The hand that was on the brunette's cheek trailed down to rest on the small of her back and tug her closer. Eileen placed her free hand on his shoulder, wondering if he could hear the rapid thumping of her heart. 

Soon, Ephemer pulled away and leaned his forehead against hers, giving her a sweet smile. "I hope that was okay." 

"Yeah. I liked it." Eileen giggled.

Ephemer chuckled, eyes crinkling in pure glee. "No matter what happens, I'll still be by your side. I don't know what else is waiting for us, but we'll face it together." 

In the warmth and safety of each other's embrace, the newfound lovers shared another kiss. Everything would be alright. They had each other. As long as that remained, they could overcome any obstacles.

Me sweating: everyone's KH oc is from Union Cross Era and mine are modern!!

[blue-eli]

@khoc-week I am late I am very late-

Day one: Introductions!

Nathaniel Ezra Wyatt: a scholar, magic user, and very concerned adult. His home world (Hyrule, yes he is technically an LoZ oc as well shhh) fell only a year or so after Radiant Garden’s fall, when he was around 37, and he found himself in Traverse Town. He ended up bonding with the group from RG who were living there (Cid, Leon, Aerith, Cloud, and Yuffie) and found himself part of their little patchwork family. He is, despite looking like an pretentious old librarian, quite outgoing, and loves hearing peoples stories. He is also quite parental by nature, and keeps on finding himself adopting any stray child soldier he comes across (why are there so many-), and co-parenting the RG kids with Cid. After Maleficent was defeated in kh1 he made the decision to go with to Hollow Bastion with the gang instead of staying in Traverse Town or hoping to find himself back in Hyrule. He’s settled into Radiant Garden quite permanently now, and spends most of his time helping his family rebuild it. :)

KH OC Week Day 3

Here we go again, time for Day 3 for Velcia (KHx) and Velcia (KHII-Era)! 

Day 3: Friends or Lovers

◾Is your OC paired with someone? Who is important to them?

KHx-Era Velcia:

Owing to her own strange circumstances, upbringing, and the generally peculiar nature of her personality, KHx-Era Velcia had quite a few acquaintances and many touch-and-go friendships, but it wasn’t until she met a young man named Balthazar that she was able to find any real stable connection to someone else in Daybreak Town. Reserved and a bit odd in his own right, Balthazar was nonetheless capable in many ways that Velcia wasn’t and was very unaffected by her many more intrusive personal behaviors and habits that some considered a little harder to deal with. The two are the best of friends and inseparable - and each of their unique circumstances and the unfortunate carnage of the Keyblade War means that they have very little interest or capability to evolve their relationship further than that.

While the existence of her KHII-Era descendant does of course rather singularly assure that this hapless KHx-Era Velcia is eventually able to make a proper romantic connection and start a family of her own on Olympus, there is currently no information to be found as to the identity of her eventual sweetheart. (Though it is something that will absolutely be covered in a future story down the line)

KHII-Era Velcia:

When Velcia was young, she had several friends in Thebes but was closest with her cousin, Denerre. As she grew older, her Grandmother began to tell her of their family’s history and along with these stories came a very unexpected insistence that Velcia was not truly a part of Olympus or its people, and that she was meant to be greater than them. This sort of self-important mindset shocked the young girl, and it was one she and her father soundly rejected, but regardless the thought persisted in Velcia’s head that she did not belong. Passive-aggressive comments from her Grandmother both about and in some cases directly towards Velcia’s friends led her to eventually withdraw mostly to herself and keep her friendships private; though her hardy cousin Denerre was fine to shrug off the abuse and stick by Velcia’s side.

After tragedy struck and Velcia lost both her father and cousin during the events of KH:BBS, Velcia (14 at the time) began to live with her Uncle and Aunt and after some particularly cruel and manipulative comments from her grandmother she distanced herself from this poor influence. These cruel sentiments stuck with her all the same, and going forward Velcia found herself too afraid of losing others to be able to entertain relationships on any deeper level. While she would make a great many friends at the University where she and her Uncle studied, these friendships would generally fizzle out as her friends would move on to other things. Of course, it should come then as no surprise that the idea of becoming romantically involved with anybody was a prospect entirely off the table.

Thankfully for Velcia, once she meets Sam and Hinata she manages to quickly become fast friends with them on their travels, and she cares for them very much. While she is quick to pour everything she can into helping her friends, it takes a long time for her to learn to let them in to help her in return; and it’s not until after making a mistake that nearly costs Velcia her own life that she begins to really entertain the notion that she should be accepting of their affections as well. Still, it is a concept that takes some time and practice for her. Hinata, Sam, and a few others end up becoming great lifelong friends for her from this point. Additionally, I suppose I would be remiss to mention that on this journey she also meets with DiZ. Though they are not entirely on the same page at first, as the two grow to understand each other better their mutual passion for academia and general scholarly ways form a common ground; and she begins to look up to DiZ, and later his true self Ansem the Wise, as a mentor.

A couple years later (In the story I’m currently posting!), Velcia returns to the world of Eos (FFXV) and spends quite some time traveling with Noctis and his friends, and there finds herself opening up and learning a lot more about friendships, relationships, and what a healthy system of mutual support feels like when she is able to properly drop her personal defenses and open up.

@khoc-week day 6: journal! here's Ryou going to the moogle shop :) the bag on his wrist is for medals (I always imaged medals being pretty small) and since he's a party leader I imagine he has a lot to keep track of so I'm giving him a journal for it :) I took a lot of pride in being a party leader so that means Ryou does too!!! He has friends to look after!!! There's absolutely a stack of notebooks in his room detailing medals, quests, and party members,

bonus: I did so many sketches for this day here's the original idea I had of casual Ryou looking over some papers lmfao

KH OC WEEK

Day 5: Unique

I’ve had a liiiittle bit of a miscalculation with how long making these entries would take, so I’ve decided to jump ahead a bit. Dreams and Connections ended up being such important themes for all my characters that I wanted to spend a bit more time on both haha.

Appearance

Appearance-wise a lot of my guys have a bunch of fun little details about them. Both Shiro and Merin carry many scars from being the most active fighters (and for being the most reckless ones).

Shiro bears a X shaped scar across their face that they acquire from fighting master Aced during the keyblade war. (There’s a scene in KHUX during the keyblade war, where master Aced manages to land some hits on the player before Ira comes to their rescue.)

They both also noticeably have small streaks of white in their hair along with dark veins overtaking their arms, which are caused by long exposure to darkness.

Another shared trait within the group is The siblings matching dyed hair, with Viktor having teal and Aiko pink-colored hair. This later on changes after a small time skip where they decide to swap colors.

Aiko also has a small heart tattoo on her shoulder and a bunch of moles covering her body!

Skills

As keyblade wielders each character of course has their own unique style of fighting and using their keys.

(Shiro is getting favorite child treatment sorry LMAO)

Shiro, as the oldest and most experienced fighter, has various different spells, keyblade forms, and abilities at their disposal. They’re most keen on melee fighting but are also quite the talented spell caster. (They especially enjoy fire magic)

Merin is the second-most experienced fighter and often calls upon darkness to assist her in a fight. (Even though Aiko strongly urges them against it, old habits die hard, I guess.) She is also decently strong, even without her keyblade, and uses her brute strength to get through enemies.

The rest of the group are actually not the biggest fans of fighting, but I’d say Aiko holds herself the best when it comes to using her keyblade.

Tähti does, however, possess a unique skill that allows her to listen to the hearts of others. This mostly manifests as different kinds of melodies emanating from the person they’re close to (displaying their current emotional state or just overall vibe) and occasionally as quiet whispers of the person's inner thoughts.

Other stuff

I think of Tähti as being autistic due to them having many neurodivergent traits that I relate to. (Feeling most comfortable being nonverbal, feeling easily overwhelmed, having a difficult time with social cues, etc.)

Tähti also appears a lot smaller and younger than Merin due to their previous person having an imbalance of light and darkness in their heart.

The darkness that spreads through Shiro’s and Merin’s arms begins at the dominant hand. (the hand they hold their keyblade in)

Shiro’s multicolored eyes represent their lost state of identity and also the balance of darkness and light in their heart. (Their original eye color is green, but it gets mixed with blue and yellow to represent light and darkness.)

Merin has a scar on their upper right arm, just above where the darkness is spreading, due to them attempting to sever their arm as they feared the darkness would spread further. Aiko thankfully managed to convince them not to go through with it.

I do also think that the darkness can eventually fade away as the person's emotional state gets better / once they stop using darkness for long enough.

KH OC WEEK DAY 3 - CONNECTIONS - @khoc-week

If no one else, we have eachother.

The firsts don't have alot of connections outside of their foretellers and each others, sadly. They make it a point to be involved with their unions because of the respect they have for their foretellers, or simply because they have no other choice - but they aren't particularly close with any of them.

Kage and Saorise are close if only because their foretellers are. They argue often and don't get along as easily as Ira and Invi do - in the early days the two masters would have to break them up from having fights. But over time they at least learned to tolerate eachother's existence, and Saorise's singing voice is one of the few things that can instantly calm Kage down from one of his temper tantrums.

On the flip side, Cecil is close with the Leopardos first, Cassius. They were always somewhat close because Cassius was one of the few who didn't find Cecil's laziness to be annoying, but after Gula and Aced made their alliance, they started speaking more and became friends - even more so, they developed feelings for each other (based on rps between me and the person who made Cassius' character) However neither of them truly confessed their feelings before the keyblade war.

Cecil is also close with the Vulpes first, Nova, but I didn't have time to draw them together aldkfj- just know that Nova is probably the biggest troublemaker of the first as she acts like a thief, but Cecil and her get along because they don't get on her case about the thievery.

Outside of the firsts, I'd say that they respect Atlas and Wynter - my heartsmith kh ocs I've talked about previously. Of course, there's the Master of Masters who none of them can avoid (unfortunately), they have a strange relationship with Luxu, as he's the only one without a union and therefore no first to represent him. So the firsts are at a bit of a loss of how to deal with him, but Luxu always treated them well so they don't exactly have a bad relationship.

Disney character wise - Cecil got along great with Cinderella and the fairy godmother. And Saorise found Wonderland very entertaining and liked talking with the Cheshire Cat and Alice. However Kage tended to avoid interacting with locals in other worlds as much as possible because they would annoy him so much. Snow White always seemed to pity him from afar, though.

Day Five: Light or Darkness

Caelum is fighting for the light. Fighting against the Darkness that took his brother, and fight for the connection they used to have. In the end Caelum leaves the keyblade wielders at Scala ad Caelum because their fear of the darkness is so strong they can't believe anyone can be saved. With Riku as a friend, and right by his side, Caelum doesn't believe that.
