NAME: Sora
CANON: Kingdom Hearts
CANON POINT: Post-KH3
AGE: 16
BACKGROUND: Here is his page on the KH wiki.
Given his canon point, everything in his app includes vague spoilers, but anything that is included that is a Big Spoiler will be warned in text. However, the link to his history is pure spoilers after a certain point so reader beware.
PERSONALITY:
- Sora is extremely optimistic. He almost always tries to look on the bright side of things, even when everything around him seems dire. He encourages others to do the same and nearly always tries again even after defeat. This is much easier for him when he has his friends around, as he tends to see them as his strength. His need to always be smiling and always be bright can actually be to his determent to his mental state at times, as he tends to not deal with trauma in order to focus instead on his optimism. This has lead to bouts of anger or emotional devastation when things get to be too much for him to handle.
- While he might ignore his own trauma, when it comes to others, though, Sora displays strong emotional intelligence. This means that he responds to the emotions of others, relates to them, and does what he can to support them. This means he can cheer people up, give them a pep talk, or even challenge them when needed. It also means that blatant emotional manipulation tends to be ineffective on him because he has no time or patience for it.
- This means he is capable of great empathy and can even see things from the point of view of his enemy, provided they have given him a reason to try. He shows empathy towards the likes of Vanitas (offering him to join the light) and Luxord (telling him they'll play a game when they "just guys") because they first express an opening for it. He doesn't waste his time letting people who would use that empathy to manipulate him to get to him - for example, he blocks out stuff that the time traveling young Xehanort says because he knows they're being said to manipulate him.
- That said, in other ways Sora can be super dense. He doesn't understand a lot of complex topics and will get frustrated or bored when people try to explain it. This happens in cute ways when it's Ienzo or Hiro describing computers or tech to him, or in challenging ways like when it's the Organization explaining their plots to him. He literally says things like "I can't computer" and his lack of math skills are a joke in KH3. He's not very book smart, is what I'm saying. This leaves him open to more subtle manipulation (like the entire plot of 3D) too because when a concept is too over his head he tends to discard or ignore it.
- He can sometimes come off as impatient and reckless because rather than taking the time to think through his options he's the type to want to rush in and save the day by hitting things with a giant key. He is capable of more thoughtful action if it's something centered on empathy or emotion, but when it's tactical planning he's got no time for that either. He is also almost always ready to fight. He's good at fighting and he enjoys it. He also prefers action to dwelling because dwelling might make him less positive and optimistic - something he really does not want.
- Friendship and loyalty are extremely important to him. He takes them seriously when it comes to his own friends, but will also react in horror when he finds out others have betrayed those who trusted them. This makes him very forgiving to people who want forgiveness and very angry that people who betray or harm others.
- He can also be pretty competitive and isn't above showing off when it comes to his fancy fighting skills. He loves a good contest or race and can be goaded into them pretty easily. Once he's in it, he's in it to win.
- He likes helping people and will go out of his way to help those in need - even when he really shouldn't because of "world order." He also has a habit of ignoring rules that would say he shouldn't help.
- He is very much a "feel it, do it" kind of guy. He feels something is right, so he's going to do that thing while not considering the consequences or dangers. This means he can sometimes put himself in incredibly dangerous situations but with the strength of his heart and the power of his friends, he nearly always comes out okay. Except for, maybe, that one time. (Spoilers in the link and in the next paragraph!)
- He has a habit of forcing himself to smile, even when things seem dire, but when everything is stripped from him you can see that he is actually a pretty vulnerable young man coming up into his own during a time of real turmoil. He lacks self-preservation at times and tends to see his worth in his relationships to others. He says "my friends are my power!" and ignores damage down to him during the war to focus on doing right by those he loves. In the end, he uses his strengths to protect and save everyone, but it comes at a deep personal cost to him. He's going to have to deal with that eventually, but good luck getting him to try.
POWERS/ABILITIES: Sora's personal strength is a strong heart. There are many times where people underestimate this strength and are proven wrong by his force of will. His strong heart gave a safe place for Kairi to hide and provided the only haven where Ven could heal. Sora's heart is able to form deep connections with others very quickly. His strength comes from those connections. He has a high level of empathy from this, and it lends to the emotional intelligence described above.
He is also a Keyblade wielder. Keyblade wielders have access to all kinds of magical abilities. Sora's magic is based on elements as he has access to all of the basic Final Fantasy type spells (ie, ice, fire, wind, cure, etc.) and then as those spells get more powerful they follow the same -ra, -aga, suffixes as Final Fantasy (fire upgrades to fira which upgrades to firaga). The Keyblade also allows him to use all sorts of defensive and offensive magic as well including special combos and buffs which make him stronger or give him area of effect spells.
The Keyblade also has a lot of other uses that are being uncovered in each game. A lot of these Sora is completely unaware of though. For example, in Birth by Sleep the Keyblade uses turn their Keyblade into personalized vehicles they use to travel between worlds. There is no hint that Sora knows this is possible. However, he may be able to learn it either by having someone tell him or by letting his heart teach him. Sora has learned lost abilities this way before. For example, in Unionx the Keyblade users can open portals to other worlds just by pointing their Keyblades to empty space. Sora was unaware this could happen, but that the end of A Fragmentary Passage he's able to do it by just closing his eyes and pointing his Keyblade while letting his heart be his "guiding key." He is able to do this throughout KH3, though obviously this will be nerfed in game to prevent him from leaving the planet.
Another ability that the Keyblade has is to unlock pretty much any type of lock, even digital ones. This could be considered 'game breaking' as well because it could enable him to escape or access places that might be locked off to the characters. The portals will not work and the unlocking ability will stop working for any game related reasons. For example, if there is an event that requires him to be locked in a room he will be unable to leave by using the Keyblade.
Sora's ability with the Keyblade also lends him to keyblade transformations and shot locks. When they are combined with the clothes that the good fairies made for him he can also use different forms, known as Formchange. With the Keyblades listed below he will have access to Second Form, Element Form, and Blitz Form. A simple way to nerf these forms is to have him wear clothing that is provided to him by the city. He needs the Good Fairy magic to change into these forms and that is only accessible when wearing clothes from home.
Sora is also a very skilled fighter and really, really good at parkour. Something that is made all the easier because he had access to an ability called Flowmotion, which literally allows him to run up buildings, fling himself off of heights with no fall damage, zip around light poles, and all manner of gravity-defying stunts. He is very, very light on his feet and excels in both ground and aerial combat. His hits pack a punch and his abilities can be combined to make him pretty OP.
INVENTORY:
(1) Gummiphone
(1) Wild Card, gifted to him by Luxord*
(3) Versions of the Keyblade. He starts with access to The Kingdom Key and has the keychains that allow it to transform Shooting Star & Nano Gear
*About the "wild card." At this time, we've no idea what power the wild card holds. For all purposes of the game, it will just seem like a plain playing card. If that changes, I'll make sure to run anything by the mods and any players who would be affected by it.
