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?

((So how would you feel about these two running into each other to... idk, talk shop, or something?))

((please! I love kingdom hearts.))

((Sorry about taking so long to get back to this! I had a couple of days where I was in a sort of weird brainspace and then the weekend hit, which is always super busy for me.))

[It's sometimes true, what people say about like drawing to like. True, Xemnas hasn't precisely gone looking for Pitch. In fact, he rarely seeks out anyone. But his recent excursions into the Realm of Dreams have brought him a little closer to Pitch's chosen domain. Enough that he's recognized the presence of another how might be like him.

More interesting, perhaps, is that he shows little fear, in stepping into Pitch's domain. For all that it might well be a realm of nightmare and shadow, he carries himself with an unconscious surety hat he will be able to defend himself from whatever might come his way.

(He might be right, too. Though he does dream, his nightmares are all someone else's, and he can only remember the dimmest echoes of fear, if that.)]

[Someone entering his territory and not being afraid? Not even of the surroundings, but lacking fear at all? No fear?]

[That's just wrong. Everyone has to be afraid of something. He springs up behind Xemnas, quietly. He's not properly solid, there aren't any footsteps.]

What do we have here?

[No fear, or least none that's easy to see. The void within him alone might see to that, even without the fact of everything else that he's lost to become that which he is. In fact, he doesn't even so much as startle when Pitch appears behind him.

He doesn't immediately turn around either, which might say something about the sort of things that he's used to.]

That depends on what you had intended to ask about.

[To be fair, he's aware it's probably a question about him as opposed to anything else, but it never hurts to be certain.]
