Welcome to the Kingdom Hearts world.

Where light and dark collide, and young heroes bearing weapons of legend stand in the face of the destruction of all worlds.

(...And where the plot gets kind of ridiculous, but eh, let's overlook that for now.)

What are you doing here? What might happen in this universe?

Usual meme rules apply. Comment with any preferences or ideas you have, and have fun!

Role:

Apprentice: You have been chosen as one who will wield the weapon of legend, the Keyblade. You’ve been trained for the day when you’ll stand up to what endangers the worlds. Is today the day?
Master: You have proven yourself truly worthy of the Keyblade. You have been entrusted with the secrets behind the worlds themselves. Do you fight to keep them safe? Do you use your powers to travel the worlds, or do you stay on your own? Have you chosen another to take your place one day?
Wielder by chance: You were never formally chosen by another to become a Keyblade wielder. Yet, somehow, it’s been passed to you all the same. Maybe you inherited the blade by accident, maybe its destined wielder couldn’t play their role, maybe something even stranger occurred. Still. It’s yours now. Can you rise to the challenge?
Prince(ss) of Heart: You are a child of light itself. One of precious few in all the worlds who can truly say that they are naturally devoid of all darkness in their hearts. But this might be a mixed blessing: who out there might think your heart is …useful?
Villain: You’re one of the bad guys. ‘Nuff said. Are your ambitions more local, or do you seek to bring darkness to the worlds as a whole? Did someone talk to you to make you a promise, or did the darkness itself do it?
Nobody/Organization XIII: Your heart has been taken. Your true self, your emotions. You live on memory and instinct alone, searching for a way out of your predicament… but perhaps one’s closer than you imagine? Still, you get a sweet weapon and powers out of the deal. Maybe a spiffy coat, too. Just watch for what comes with that last part.
Guest star: You’re not part of this whole keyslinging circle. But it doesn’t mean you haven’t been pulled into this mess. Your world’s been touched by what’s going on - are there Heartless or Unversed running around here? Or something else?
Other: You’re … okay, a wildcard. Have at it.

World: Due to the nature of Kingdom Hearts, and the sheer number of worlds, it’s impractical to list the lot in this meme… instead, the canon worlds can be found here!
However, for those more adventurous, there’s also those in the wider Disney canon, such as here...
Or just feel free to let your imagination roam! Is there anywhere that it’d be fun to take things?

Scenarios:

First summoning: So you’ve just gotten your hands on your shiny new Keyblade for the first time. What’s going on? How did you get it?
In training: This hero business isn't as glamorous as it might be made out to be. You've got to practice sometime, haven't you? No use throwing someone inexperienced in at the deep end ... wait.
Heartless fighting: Doesn’t have to be Heartless. You might be fighting Unversed, Nobodies or Dream Eaters… what’s important is that there’s some critter of the darkness that needs taking down, and quickly.
Mark of Mastery: Now’s the time to prove yourself. You’ve been offered the chance to finally become a Keyblade Master. What’s going on? Is this a formal test? Have you been sent off on a quest? Do you have what it takes?
Just chilling: Sometimes, even with all this going on, there are times to relax. Goof off. Play some games, eat some ice cream…
Power of ~Friendship~: We stand together! Time for dramatic speeches and having the bonds between hearts show their worth. You couldn’t get this far on your own.
Falling to the darkness: The light’s not enough. Whatever the darkness has promised you - power, knowledge, the chance to expand your boundaries - you’ve jumped on that chance. Or was something more subtle at work here?
On a mission: Whatever group or Organization you’re part of, they want you somewhere and they want you there now. It could be anything.
Other: Anything missing?

[Natalia's fairly decent at the whole diplomacy thing, but dealing with the guards would probably take too long. After a moment more of lingering on her weather-related woes, Natalia moves on. Two sets of eyes are better than one, and they need to find a way into the castle.]

What are we looking for then? A hidden door, or a secret passage, or what? [She's starting to look for anything out of place already--castles and their grounds always do have a secret way in, after all. She should know, she grew up in one!]

[Kanji shrugs slightly, squinting against the sun. He trails his fingers along the wall as he speaks.]

Heck if I know. Just somethin' suspicious. Didn't exactly get a map of the place...

[Not that he's sure if it would have helped much here. The place has been so full of twisty little alleyways that he thinks he's losing his mind.]

But this has to be the right way, right?

Hmm... [Natalia comes to a stop, running gloved hands along the wall as well, feeling for loose bricks or anything of that nature. Up, down, left, then right. She's feeling for something, anything.] It has to be around here somewhere.

[Eventually, a part of the wall seems to give slightly more than the rest, grinding against the rest when pressed.] Ah! I think I've found... well, something, at least. [Please let this be the switch to a secret passage and not just some randomly loose block.]

[He hurries over to see as soon as she mentions it.]

Yeah! Okay, that oughta do somethin'...

[And there. Under the dust and dirt and - yes, sand - something's moved. A trap door opening in the ground.]

Man. When they were talkin' about 'hidden' they weren't messing around...

No kidding... [This was not the kind of hidden she was expecting. She crouches down to take a look. A rope ladder leading down into a stone corridor below...] Well, nothing ventured, nothing gained. Shall we?

[He nods-]

Let's go.

[Well, the ladder's taking his weight alright, at least, but this isn't the most comfortable he's ever been about things. He jumps off it about half-way down, looking around.

This is just the sort of place...

He holds out a hand, and a shower of little lightning sparks form into a heavy, jagged blade.
He's ready for this.]

[She scrambles down the ladder after him, readying her bow. There aren't any enemies present, but that doesn't keep her from nocking an arrow anyway.

She glances around the corridor. It's a little cramped for her tastes, but beggars can't be choosers. The quiet's not reassuring at all, either...]

[He nods as he sees her get ready; okay, they're good to go. Time to move quickly, then, glancing around...

Hurrying forward, and then-

Squeak.]

...Didya hear that?

[... That sure was a squeak. Natalia's scanning the area.]

... yes, I did. [She keeps her voice hushed and frowns, listening closely.

Squeak.]

There it is again...

[Kanji curses quietly, looking around - and there. A shadow just moved. A moment to determine that that is, indeed, not just a trick of the light...]

They're coming! C'mon - let's do this!

[And the first Shadow barely has a chance to form before he's yelling and charging at it.]

Right! [Natalia's more than happy to keep her distance from other incoming Shadows--she is an archer after all. Kanji's got the frontlines covered easy, so it's her job to support!]

[And incoming Shadows there are. There's a lot of shouting coming from Kanji as he smacks them around, and only part of that shouting is of the likes of-]

Comin' from behind ya! Watch out!
