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?

[A gentle sigh, there. He's not surprised at the first - but the second? Hmm.]

That creature would be what we call a Heartless. Do you remember any details about it? Or anything at all about the doorway and your ... visitor?

Only that it was large and seemed to tear my very world to shreds. [She chokes on her words, fiercely blinking back tears as she does so.]

I do remember thinking that I should have been able to see the doorway before - it was in a place I had visited many times before. But the visitor? No. Whomever it was had covered themselves in a robe, and said nothing - at least to me.

[He nods, slowly, sympathetically, at the first.]

Take it easy. I see, though. There are many mysteries we've yet to unravel, but I've ... encountered strange doorways before.

You... you have?

[How queer. Perhaps there's some connection?]

And were they like mine, then?

[Something that should have been obvious, but wasn't? And why had she only seen it on the very day her world had disappeared?]

[He's thoughtful for a bit.]

It seems similar, at least. And I've heard other people speak of ones like it.

Then surely this must be linked, somehow.

[She frowns.]

But goodness, where to start? I haven't even the foggiest idea as to where we should begin.

As I said, my friends and I have been investigating.
There are paths opening up to us as we go. Signs left on every world. We explore, we try and save the worlds we can...

And how are we, then, to get to other worlds? I rather dislike the last method of travel I used.

We have ships available to us. I've heard of other methods, but ... frankly, I'd prefer to steer clear of them.

Other methods? Do you mean... like mine?

[Because if so, she can wholly understand why he doesn't want to do it.]

Similar, in a way. Apparently, those who control darkness can use it to create portals between worlds... but you can see the obvious problem there.

That neither sounds sane nor safe.

Those who turn to darkness are generally neither.

As one may easily guess.

Well, then, where are your ships? [She may not know what she's doing, but she's not going to let a little thing like that stop her.]

[Oh, she's going to fit right in...]

We keep them at the edge of the city, just through the main gates. Though they're ... not going to be quite what you're used to.

[That's what you think, Xehanort.]

Oh? And what are they like, then?

Formed from things that fell from the stars... you'll see them soon enough. We should go back to our base first, but I'm sure you don't want to waste more time than we have to there...

I would prefer not to waste time, yes. How many other worlds have fallen?

I wish I had a way to tell. We only really know about those where there have been survivors, after all.

Then that means - the others of my world could be dead?!
