▶ CHARACTER
NAME: Isa [Saix]
CANON: Kingdom Hearts
CANON POINT: Post-KH3
AGE: Mid-Late 20s
BACKGROUND: Isa and Saix
PERSONALITY:
"A serene and self-possessed boy who always has time for a quick quip at his best friend Lea's expense."
Isa, by default, has always been calm, and collected. It shows in the way he carries himself, especially compared to characters of similar age, when he's shown as his younger self, but that carries through most of his appearances. As a Nobody, this manifests as him expressing more "Nobody-like" traits than most of the others, taking on an almost emotionless disposition where others continue to act as though they have hearts. He's not as quick to rile up as others until the opportune moment comes for that, and then it's time for a boss fight.
"I know I won't forget you. Believe me, I try all the time."
"If I had a heart, this would be where I die of laughter."
"I thought... you outgrew the marks under your eyes. You look... like you need them..."
From his first chronological appearance to the point when Saix fades away, Isa has always been terribly deadpan and sarcastic, for better or worse. On the one hand - at times, it appears to be necessary, to stop Lea from getting too full of himself, and to stop what could have become an uncomfortable and awkward situation from getting there, in the case of one quip ending an argument before it can start. But on the other hand, that sarcasm is more than capable of tearing someone down, or undermining the gravitas of a situation, finding it laughable that two supposedly weak individuals could try to defend themselves against him, or even quipping at a friend while he, himself, is dying, as if a personal choice that friend has made is more noteworthy than his death itself, and that that's not worth crying over.
"We have reason to believe that one or more of the members assigned to Castle Oblivion intend to betray us. Find them, and dispose of them."
Saix is incredibly ruthless, so that indicates that Isa likely is capable of ruthlessness as well, though perhaps to a somewhat lesser extent. Saix will have allies disposed of at the slightest whiff of treachery, while Isa would be more inclined to exhibit that ruthlessness in subtler ways, from not going easy on someone in a game or in a sparring match to being blunt about telling someone about their shortcomings or mistakes that have been made. That also reflects in how slow he is to make friends - he doesn't have many, and he's more quick to judge others than to try and get close to them. His ruthlessness also leads to him being able and willing to manipulate others to achieve his own goals, though recompleted as Isa, he will have some reservations about doing that indiscriminately. The capability of seeing the means to do so won't have left him, though, should the need arise.
"Do you know what happens to those who lose their true purpose? Inevitably, they destroy themselves."
"I lost... all sense of purpose..."
Isa is, perhaps surprisingly, self-loathing. He's straightforward about this fact in subtle ways, to those who know him - in particular by disparaging those who have lost their sense of purpose in one game, only to acknowledge that - even at that point - he'd lost his own sense of purpose in another. He's done some terrible things in the pursuit of his goals, and while he might be good at hiding how he feels about that most of the time, it still weighs heavily on him. He does like having a purpose - or a role to play - so he's quick to settle in to one when it's presented to him. There is strong evidence to suggest that Nobodies do have emotions, and even the beginnings of hearts, but Saix was still one of the last to even consider acknowledging that, even despite his own emotions guiding quite a few of his own actions, like his jealousy causing him to treat Roxas and Xion unkindly, or his anger manifesting in his berserker fighting style.
"It infuriated me how you just exited our lives."
Jealousy is his biggest negative trait, from which stems a whole host of problems, both for himself, and caused by himself for others. He internalizes that jealousy, and takes it out on those he's jealous of, both by being unnecessarily strict, and by being outright cruel, both in words and actions. He gives Roxas missions on missions, even when he's incapable of completing them. He refers to Xion as a 'thing' and a 'puppet' when she isn't in a state where she can be useful to the goals of the Organization. He distances himself from Axel, who still considered him a friend, because he was jealous of how he acted around his other friends as opposed to how he acted around him. To a less personal extent - as Saix, he's jealous of those who have hearts, and will stop at nothing to do what he's led to believe will have his own returned to him, even going so far as to do harm and to manipulate those, like Sora, who have the means to further his goals.
Lea: "Would you get lost? I'll clobber you tomorrow."
Saix: "I expect no less."
Saix has very high expectations of those he knows well, and whose capabilities he is familiar with. If it reflects so strongly in him when he believes himself to be emotionless, in Isa - recompleted, with a heart that he knows is there, and recognizes - those expectations ring just as true and almost reach a point of overconfidence, when it comes to others. Still, being reserved with his thoughts and affections, that will manifest in a strengthening of his already apparent loyalty. In the Organization, he followed Xemnas without question, and did anything to further their goals. With his own life in his hands, his sense of loyalty to things which are important to him are not lessened in the least, and instead manifest in a willingness to make amends with those he's wronged terribly - shown with him spending a pleasant time with Roxas and Xion, among other protagonists - because Lea is their friend as much as he is his.
POWERS/ABILITIES:
Berserker State - As a Nobody, the element Saix had control over was 'moon'. This manifests in him being able to enter a berserker state at will, which ups his strength and speed significantly. Saix himself grows bestial, in this state, with glowing eyes, disheveled hair, bared fangs, and a change in the size and shape of the x-shaped scar on his face.
Shockwave - His attacks can emit a shockwave that does damage and has a knockback and stunning effect. In his berserker state, these shockwaves are often accompanied with blue flames that make the damage done on impact quite a lot higher.
Claymore - He's capable of summoning and dismissing his claymore at will, and even summoning multiple copies of the weapon. When he throws it, he can make energy lance outwards from it that have a similar effect as the shockwave. In his berserker state, it shifts shape and produces a white aura which serves as extra blades.
Aura - He can, at will, wreathe himself in an aura of moonlight, that significantly reduces the damage he takes from both physical and magical attacks.
Nobodies - As a member of the Organization, he can summon and control lesser nobodies. The lesser Nobodies under his command, the Berserkers, follow his attack style, using brute strength and a large weapon. He also has access to Dusks, which are the weakest and most basic of Nobodies, and which all of the members of Organization XIII have access to.
Silence - Occasionally, his attacks and aura inflict the 'silence' status effect, disabling the use of magic entirely for a period of time.
Corridors of Darkness - An ability that Nobodies have allowing them to move from place to place by summoning a portal of Darkness.
Isa himself is not shown using any of these abilities in game, but as other former Nobodies have been shown being able to access their abilities, it is strongly implied that he is able to, as well, with the exception of being able to summon and control Berserker and Dusk Nobodies.
INVENTORY:
- His Claymore, which he can summon and dismiss at will.
- An Organization coat
- A Gummiphone
MOONBLESSING: Sanguis
