BioPlayer Name: Mia/Riza/Chuui/I'll answer to anything
AIM: b0nd0ffl4m3
Character Name: Sora
Series: Kingdom Hearts (I, II, CoM)
Age: 16
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: At a mere 5'3", Sora is indubitably small for his age...but don't let that fool you. What he lacks in stature he more than makes up for in spunk and speed. Built compact and lean, he's arguably one of the most agile and speedy little guys you'll run into. Cross him and you'd better not blink...cuz he'll have landed a dozen hits before you've had a chance to react to the first one, although he likely can't quite reach your face. His wild brown hair and wide blue eyes give him a look of innocence and make him appear younger than he is...but while he is very sincere and honest, Sora is anything but innocent. He might act naïve, but don't be fooled. He knows exactly what you're talking about...
His wardrobe usually consists of some manner of mismatch...fashion sense tends to escape him. Usually decked out in a waistcoat over a loose shirt with torn sleeves and short breeches ripped off just below his knees, Sora completes his carefree lad™ look with dirtied elbows and scraped knees. He wears shoes that look far too big for his feet (occasionally with striped socks when he's feeling particularly eclectic) and so long as he can move quickly in what he's wearing, it'll do just fine. He is usually seen with numerous pouches on his plethora of belts, in which he keeps money, small foodstuffs, and first-aid. He is always prepared.
PERSONALITY: Trustworthy and reliable, Sora is a real model good Samaritan. He doesn't seem to understand the concept of not talking to strangers, and would give the shirt off his back to help someone else, even if he owes them nothing. He usually gives people the benefit of the doubt, but knows better than to expose his back to someone until he's sure they can be trusted. Usually optimistic and upbeat, Sora does his best to keep his company cheerful, even in darker times. Feisty and competitive, Sora is easily riled when he stands to lose something, and will fight tooth and nail to claim victory, even against comrades in friendly sparring. He tends to come across as childish and overeager, but there's a serious side to him as well. Even if he tries not to let things get to him, he takes his friends very seriously, and would give his last happy-go-lucky smile to help a pal out.
There's an awkwardness to Sora as well--he hasn't the slightest clue how to talk to girls and clams up around any girl he has his wits about him enough to find attractive, and although he makes friends easily, he has a hard time speaking his mind clearly. When something is troubling him, he wears it on his sleeve, but though he might be willing to discuss his problems with trusted friends, he often has a hard time articulating them.
ABILITIES/STRENGTHS/WEAPONRY: Fast and physically strong for one his size, Sora is excellent with hand-to-hand combat skills...though he does prefer not to use them. Mostly he prefers to just be friends with people, but he will fight to the death for the ones he loves. He has a collapsible staff he keeps on his person that extends to a four-foot-long blade in the shape of a large key. He actually has two, but only uses them both in dire situations. One usually suffices fine. The key-head is actually sharpened, making the entire contraption similar to an axe.
Probably Sora's greatest strength is his loyalty and steadfastness. He'll stand by his friends to the end and walk to the ends of the earth for them, no matter the consequences. He's got a very "never give up!" attitude, and always tries his best.
WEAKNESSES: Despite his sense of justice and strong desire to be there for everyone...Sora's kinda clueless. He's a tad slow on the pickup, and most higher topics fly straight over his head. He's also somewhat naive when it comes to the less pleasant things in life, though it may be less naïveté and more 'if I ignore it it'll go away'. He tends to think that if he pretends everything is fine and dandy, then it really will be. His generosity is something of a weakness: he would sooner go hungry himself than allow a child or loved one to.
One could also argue too that his loyalties are a weakness as well as a strength. He could be easily manipulated should the lives of his loved ones be put in danger, for he would die before allowing harm come to them. Easily baited and quick to jump headfirst into the fray for the sake of his friends, Sora has a tendency to get in over his head when the safety of the things he loves is compromised.
HISTORY: Born on Tartarus, Sora was orphaned at a young age, and actually has little memory of his parents at all. He was taken into an orphanage at the age of four, and grew up happy and cheerful, despite the poverty of the establishment and the general misfortune of the whole situation. He enjoyed sparring with the older children in the orphanage, and frequently surprised them with his agility and speed--though they certainly never admitted this to him. When he turned fourteen, the orphanage urged him to try and find work on one of the ships that often came to port in Illyria, as the establishment was already overcrowded with parentless children who lost their mothers and fathers to pirate raids in the war. Since Sora was a bright and vivacious boy with great work ethic (he could often be found helping the cooks in the kitchen or assisting the cleaning crew in the early evenings as they swept the halls of the building), the staff was confident he would easily find a job for himself despite his age.
Though he didn't manage to land a job on any passing ships, Sora made something of a name for himself on the streets of Illyria. With his small frame and quick legs, Sora easily found a niche as a typical 'streetrat' of the area, pilfering loaves of bread and crafty trinkets from the overpriced kiosks lining the streets, and making a point to pickpocket every wealthy-looking person he saw come through the streets of the dingy little port town. Of course, he never kept these riches to himself. He shared his bread with the other children of the streets and used the money to buy more medicines and nonperishable foods to keep on his person. Mentally for wont of very little, his physical poverty didn't bother him much, and he was happy to share whatever he came into.
The summer of his fifteenth year, Sora was swimming in the ocean out near the outer edges of the Eridanos and was caught in a sudden swell. The wall of water lifted him from the surface of the sea and slammed him harshly into the rough corals of the reef, nearly drowning him. Bloodied and battered, he washed up on shore, barely breathing and completely unconscious, and was found by a passing sailor, who rushed the lifeless boy into town in a panic. He was taken back to the orphanage where he was raised, and even when Sora slept for over a month in his comatose state, the staff refused to give up hope. Sora had been a light of enthusiasm and happiness in the lives of the faculty and the children of the orphanage for all the years he had been there, and they would not stand to just let him slip away. Their tenacity finally paid off when Sora awoke after three long months...however missing a significant chunk of his memories. He couldn't remember anything that had happened over the past year--new people he had met, places he'd been, things he'd done...all of his memories of the year preceding his injury were gone.
He hadn't forgotten the faces of the staff of the orphanage or the friends he had there, however. Horrified that he had inconvenienced them so for three months, Sora set his mind to repaying their kindness. Despite their urging for him to take it easy so soon after his recovery, Sora proved to be a terrible convalescent and would have none of it, defiantly getting back on his feet a mere two days after waking up from his long sleep.
As time passed, Sora's memories slowly began to return to him, often triggered by returning to places he'd been, or seeing the faces of those people he had forgotten. While he resigned himself to never regaining everything he had forgotten, Sora eagerly embraced his second chance, knowing he was very lucky to have woken up at all. For two years now, Sora has happily spent his days traipsing through the streets of Illyria, nicking food where he can and 'borrowing' funds without permission wherever it is conducive, playing the part of Illyria's own junior Robin Hood and quickly surrendering his spoils to the orphanage who cared for him in his hour of need. Though he is sixteen, his face hasn't lost its boyish innocence, nor his eyes their innocent sparkle. Despite his financial duress, Sora rarely goes hungry, and while he is very lean and spidery, he is very strong and healthy. He has become a rather adept fisherman, and can often be found swimming near the edges of the Eridanos. On a first-name basis with a lot of the captains who frequent the port of Illyria, Sora is a familiar face throughout the port. One of Sora's greatest desires is to get off the little island of Tartarus and see the rest of the world, and he hopes to eventually gain enough clout as a fisherman--or at least as a hard worker--to earn himself a position on a ship.
