Kingdom Hearts [OOC, Sign-ups, dead]

Traverse Town (newcomers go here)
Mass Effect

A few months ago, I took part in a Kingdom Hearts based RP that I quite liked. It had been rather long and successful, but unfortunately I didn't arrive until it was just about to die, so I didn't get to do much. Shortly after that I left NS, but now I'm back and I'd like to reboot this. For those of you who aren't familiar with Kingdom Hearts, it's a video game series, co-produced by Disney and Square Enix. It combines various characters from Disney films and Final Fantasy games, that you would otherwise never see on the same screen. Here, we are not going to limit ourselves to Disney and Final Fantasy characters (although if anyone is interested in RPing them, they're welcome to do so), in stead we're going to use Kingdom Hearts as a platform for cross-over fiction in general. You can pick characters from whatever you like (be it a movie, a book, a video game or whatever else you might like) or use original characters. Just don't make them OP.
"But what is the RP about?" You might ask. For those of you who know Kingdom Hearts, we'll be following the basic formula of the game; go to a new world, look for the world's keyhole, get caught in the happenings of the world (which may or may not be relevant to the over all storyline of the RP), eventually find the keyhole, shut it, move on to the next world. For those of you who don't know Kingdom Hearts, here's a bit more info: There are mysterious creatures appearing. Shadows that swallow up entire worlds. They are known to most as the Heartless. Your mission is to stop them. The Heartless in each world are trying to access the heart of the world. A world's heart is stored in behind a gateway, known as a Keyhole. To stop the Heartless, you must close the Keyhole. In order to do this, you must first find the Keyblade; a weapon of great power that has the power to lock the Keyholes forever. I don't know how good this explanation is, but it'll all be explained to you RP-wise.
So is anyone interested in this? If you are, just write out a character application and when (and if) we have enough people participating, we'll get started. For now, you're limited to two characters (plus companions), but I might change this later on.

My characters

Name: Mordin Solus
From: Mass Effect
Gender: Male
Appearance:
Weapons, powers and abilities: A heavy pistol, genius level intelligence, expert knowledge of science and medicine, photographic memory.
Info: The very model of a scientist Salarian. Mordin is an excellent scientist, but he's also been known to be quite deadly when he needs to. His work often takes him to dangerous places and is often of a morally questionable nature. Despite this (or possibly because of this), he has a strict moral code, always believing himself to be working for some sort of greater good. He talks very fast and thinks even faster.

Alignment: Good
Companion (only one): None

Name: Ruth
From: Original Character
Gender: Female.
Appearance: Human, tall, tanned skin, long, black hair. She uses black lipstick and dark eyeshadow. Her body is sealed in a dark, bulky armour, but her head is bare.
Weapons, powers and abilities: A battle axe, abnormal physical strength.
Info: Raised on a remote world, not unlike Earth in the Dark Ages. She and her brother were orphans and lived in poverty. She earned a living working for a knight as a squire. The knight taught her to fight and handle a weapon. When she had reached the age of 24, the Heartless attacked her world. They took her brother, but she endured, stealing the knights armour and battleaxe to fight off the Heartless. Eventually she managed to escape through a portal, before her world was destroyed. Now she wants revenge.
Alignment: Good, but not nice.
Companion (only one): None

I'm going to post an app tomorrow morning.

I'm going to post an app tomorrow morning.

Awesome. Didn't expect anyone to respond so quickly.

[Johto and Kanto]

I might join, but what universe would this be set in?

I was in the old one.

[Orthella]

I might join, but what universe would this be set in?

Good question. Assuming this will last, we'll go through multiple universes (or worlds, as they'll be referred to in the RP). I haven't quite decided which world I'm going to start with, but it'll most likely be Mass Effect, Star Wars, Harry Potter or the Discworld. The reason I'm picking one of these worlds is because I know them better than others, so they're easier to work with. As we move on to other worlds, I'll likely let you guys pick and control the worlds (that way, we won't be limited to my field of knowledge over fictional worlds).
However, we're going to start out in a world from the game called Traverse Town. Traverse Town is a safe haven for drifters, who either can't get back to their home world, or don't have a place to go back to. This is going to act as a sort of in between world that ties the different chapters together. There are two reasons I'm doing this. 1) In the old Kingdom Hearts RP, when a keyhole was closed, all the characters were just sucked through a portal which delivered them to the next world. This seemed a bit lazy to me. It didn't seem right that a portal would just conveniently appear and deliver them exactly where they needed to be next. No, I think traveling between worlds needs to be a bit more deliberate. So now we have a world where we can go back to and plan the next course of action. 2) In the old RP, if you signed up in the middle of a chapter, you had to wait for the next chapter before you could introduce your character. While I saw the value of not having random characters appearing out of nowhere, I didn't like having to wait. So I've decided to provide Traverse Town as a sort of lobby for the people waiting for a new chapter to begin. I'll provide small quests and even subplots for the new arrivals to kill time with, while they wait for the next chapter (if they want to).
Traverse Town will also be the world in which you find the Keyblade and a Keyblade wielder will be designated.

Character Application
Name: Thorne Gawainson
From: Original Character
Gender: Male
Appearance: tall, about six foot, black hair, cleanshaven, brown eyes, athletic build (but don't let it fool you)
Weapons, powers and abilities: two Viking swords, twin pistols, Force Field Generation, Free Runner
Info:

Born to a family who he no longer remembers Thorne grew up on the streets of his home city, growing up on the streets lead Thorne to be naturally suspicious of people but also taught him how to fight and the knowledge of when to do so or when to run. At eight Thorne joined up with another runaway/orphan named Nova, after the two of them chose to rob the same target at once, what started as a temporary pact to help each other eventually grew into an instinctual bond between the two. At eleven the two saved a family from a bunch of muggers and were accepted by the family, even if they did not live their full time. With the help of government funding and projects they made it into university where along with the daughter of the family they had saved, Hannah, the three of them started to operate as vigilantes, each with their own power, however they weren't the only group to be doing so, at the same time as them two other pairs were starting to clash on the streets, one was more villainous and the other more traditional heroes, Thorne, Nova and Clone (as Hannah called herself after discovering she had the power of inanimate transformation) soon found themselves in the middle of this war being targeted by each side as they were thought by each to be aiding the other pair. Joining up with Chen, a young Chinese student who had the ability to sense who had superpowers (even whilst they were disguised in their normal form) the four started to take the fight to the two pairs who had previously been attacking them. Eventually the eight met at an old building sight, where Chen revealed that she also had the power of prophecy and that the eight were meant to meet and work together although external forces were trying to keep them apart, unsure of what to do the eight (Thorne, Nova, Clone, Chen along with Kinesis and Sonar (heroes) and Drake and Evasion (villains)) worked together trying to clean up the city, which each had been trying to do in their own way before. Finding out secrets about themselves along the way the eight (known as The Guardians) trained to be ready for anything. Only one of their secrets is known, and was let out on purpose by both Thorne and Nova when they chose their surnames, each of the eight are directly descended from one of the Knights of the Round Table, and it is the weapons of their ancestors that they use when they battle.

Alignment: Lawful Neutral

Hehe, yeah. I decided to take a different approach this time. Didn't wanna be the guy running the RP and the comic relief. I might add him later on, though. Accepted.

Thanks I'll probably be adding a second character later, once I've decided who it will be that is.

Weapons, powers and abilities:
Weapons: Dagger
Powers: Pain magic, Controlling other devils, travel through planes easily.
Info: Tibalt was originally a student of a Nephalian skaberen, but failed most of the time. Instead, Tibalt turned his attention to living organisms instead, and began to work with pain magic. Eventually, an inquisitor nearly caught Tibalt and tried to stop his insanity from continueing, but Tibalt had invoked a spell that fused his body with that of Demons. This is also when his planeswalker spark activated, and Tibalt got away, suffering all the pain he had inflicted in his life. This caused the half human half devil to become the insane monster he is today.
Alignment: Chaotic Evil. Very Chaotic
Companion (only one): None

[The Blazing Aura]

I've decided on my second character. prepare for the trouble that is

Character Application
Name: Scout Trooper Mkvenner
From: Gaunt's Ghosts
Gender: Male
Appearance:

Weapons, powers and abilities:
Weapons: Lasrifle with Bayonet (can be used as a quarterstaff)
Powers: none
Abilities: very very stealthy, has a camo cloak to help hide himself from sight, has an instinctual sense of direction
Info:

Mkvenner was Corbec's scout up until the battle of Herodor, and subsequently accompanied Gaunt on the Gereon mission. He opted to stay behind when the main party left. When the Ghosts returned to Gereon, the resistance had pronounced him dead. However, it should be noted while Eszrah Ap Nihte is gathering toxins and "wode" to replenish his stocks, he comes across a man, clad in the rags and wode of a Nightwalker, yet this figure wears the remnants of a camo cloak. Mkoll himself believes to have 'smelt'/detected Mkvenner whilst waiting for extraction from the Untill during the Gereon Liberation. There is also the unexplainable event of how all of the captured Gereon resistance and Nightwalker fighters managed to escape Imperial custody undetected. These incidents could very well mean that Mkvenner is still alive but has his existence known to no one. As Mkvenner is an accomplished scout and stealth operator, it comes as no surprise that he managed to live in the Untillilable lands of Gereon.
Mkvenner is the best close combat fighter in the entire regiment, even better than the late, psychotic Lijah Cuu. While retaking Cirenholm on Phantine, he held off an entire platoon of Blood pact with nothing more than his bayoneted rifle, using it like a quarterstaff. This comes as no surprise as Mkvenner is the last surviving Tanith to have been trained in the ancient art of Cwlwhl, the fighting techniques perfected by the Nalsheen wood warriors, legendary heroes who overthrew the corrupt Huhlhuch Dynasty and ushered in the era of modern free Tanith. He also managed to suppress two wire-wolves (Daemons) on Gereon using only an empty lasgun as a fighting staff.

Alignment: Lawful Good

[Isarabaeum]

Name: (His Highness King)Vasil
From: Original character
Gender: Male, but IS interested in both anyways.
Appearance:
Weapons, powers and abilities: A shotgun, a sword, and a shield
Info: As the only legitimate son of the King before him, he looks for adventure only to seek any new pleasures that he can find in the process - and also, in hopes to find a new favorite drink and lovers in the process. In the process, he also seeks to show him what his nation can do - even though it is from him and him only alone.

I'm not too familiar with Magic: The Gathering. In the interest of keeping out all OPs, could you elaborate on the powers? I need to know what pain magic is and also how far controlling other devils goes. Can he summon them out of nowhere? If so, is there a limit to it? Is it unconditional control? And so forth.

[Natair]

Name: Kira Hawke
From: Dragon Age ( http://dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Dragon_Age_II )
Gender: Female
Appearance: This
Weapons, powers and abilities: She can use a lot of different magics, but mostly uses fireballs and bolts of force. If you get her REALLY angry, she'll use a rain of fire, but this is extremely tiring. She also hits things with a staff. Because it's fun.
Info: In her world, she ruled over a town after saving it from total chaos and destruction. Now that things have changed, she's been reduced to fighting for her life. It's altered her personality to the point that she has become darker and more violent. She'll blast away anyone who gets in her way if she has to. She's not taking any sides.
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
Companion (only one): (I had a tough choice here, but went with my favorite)

These two are very close, so messing with one angers the other. And I mean REALLY angers them. The "I will rip you to shreds and set the pieces on fire" kind of angry. Especially him ^

I'm assuming the companion can actually do something, even if they don't fight.
