Roxas
From Canonwars
Roxas comes from the video game Kingdom Hearts II. He did not appear in the first one except for the special available at the end of the game and was known as the blond kid for an extensive period of time. He is an emotionally fucked up kid, as he is the Nobody of Sora, who is a very cheerful individual.
He’s best known for calling Riku “The Prick” and hanging out with Sora and Axel. He’s petulant and a pain in the ass, but he’s got a good side when in doubt. He’s also friends with Kairi. He arrived on the island from his last moment of actually being corporeal, but he, naturally, has the entirety of his memories. Or memories he shared with Sora.

Background
Roxas is a Nobody.
It is the most important part of him.
He was born because Sora became a heartless—but the action was so brief, so sudden, that Roxas’ birth did not mean that he acquired Sora’s memories. Truthfully, he didn’t know Sora at all, and it was because of this that he was brought into Organization XIII to be a tool. The Organization’s main goal was to acquire hearts once more. It was not surprising that someone like Roxas would be drawn to the idea, especially while disoriented and not certain of what it is that he wanted from his life.
But what he wanted was to know was where he came from.
Despite having a strong friendship with Axel, Roxas ended up running away from the Organization because of a chance battle with Riku. During the battle, Riku asked Roxas why he had the keyblades. Roxas was malicious and uncaring, but it led to a number of questions in his mind. Axel tried to stop him, but Roxas refused to listen. Yes, a part of him wanted to know that Axel cared for him, but he knew he couldn’t. Axel didn’t have a heart, after all.
Running away got him captured by Riku, who once more gave into the darkness in his heart. Riku was working for DiZ to end up bringing Sora back into the world to destroy the Organization. It was for revenge, which was not known until afterward. Roxas had a “personality change” and ended up in a fictional version of Twilight Town. As data, he lived there, “breathed there,” and experienced an extensive amount of difficulty getting around with ease. Seven days until his “summer vacation” ended, Roxas ended up being captured.
It was soon after that he realized why a confusing individual named Naminé had been contacting him. There was a connection between him and her, mainly because she was Kairi’s Nobody and he was Sora’s Nobody. Having come to terms with this between her and Axel, he soon faced the latter—Axel, that is—in a battle. Roxas won the battle, but he didn’t lose the war.
Soon he found himself reuniting with Sora. He has the entirety of Sora’s memories afterward—up to and after the “look sharp” scene and the final battle with Xemnas. However, because he’s not certain how to react to this knowledge, he ignores it to the best of his ability.
In Purgatory
Purgatory is a next life for Roxas. He’s alive, he believes he has his own heart, and he believes he can make his way on his own. His arrival to the island was uneventful, as he quickly found himself lost, confused, and uncertain about what he was going to do. However, it was within days that Sora and Riku also showed up, giving Roxas someone to talk to. Naminé was there, as well, but she was confusing. Roxas didn’t know where things were going to go.
It wasn’t long before Roxas had an arch enemy in Riku. When Roxas ended up finding Sora in a Denny’s after he ran away, Roxas spoke to him and he basically angsted to the best of his ability. He knows he feels complete around Sora; it’s not surprising, though. Riku didn’t like the idea that Roxas was coming in on his territory, so to speak, but Kairi thankfully broke up anything between the two boys.
Roxas found a free space in a charitable woman’s basement and he lived there for some time until Sora invited him to live with him. Riku was not pleased, but Roxas, who was quickly getting his spunk back through his true personality and his false personality, accepted the offer. He moved into the trio’s apartment and the three lived together for some time. While living there, Roxas and Sora became closer and even fought a few times together. Also while living there, everyone forgot about Sora and he ended up losing all his memories at the same time, making it possible for him and Riku to fight (a fight that Roxas won, even with a broken hand).
Later, Sora ended up hurt because of Fuuma when he destroyed the downtown. This led Riku, Kairi, and Roxas to finding him amongst the destruction. The four came together, and it seemed that things might be peaceful.
That is, until Axel showed up. Axel brought out a certain badassitude in Roxas, forcing him into the position of basically snubbing Sora, Kairi, and Riku. He needed to act cool so he did, and he intends to remain that way for as long as he can. Axel is a terrible influence on young Roxas, but he enjoys himself. He figures that’s all that matters.
Roxas has also bought Kairi a puppy and has gotten drunk and humiliated himself. He’s done his best to ignore the Organization, but Saïx and Xemnas, as well as Zexion, Lexaeus, Demyx, Marluxia, and Larxene all know he’s there. So far, it appears that none of them are dragging him back into the Organization, especially since a number of them have disappeared.
On top of all this, rising tensions between him and Riku and Naminé put him into a position of being about to snap at any flaw, at anything that didn't involve him. This breaking point occurred when Naminé posted an update directed toward all her friends, but Roxas and Kairi were excluded. Roxas and Kairi ended up talking to one another that night, but Riku came around and attacked Roxas for his harsh words toward Naminé for ignoring him at all. Axel helped with these harsh words, and Roxas knew, or believed, that Axel was the only person on Purgatory who gave a shit about him.
So, naturally, he decided to leave all the other people behind. Axel and Roxas took off to New York for a couple weeks before Axel sent Sora a postcard asking for him and his friends to come help. Olette came along with the three, but separately.
When Roxas was returned to the island—albeit reluctantly and in a rather disgruntled fashion—he and Olette talked for a while before she made a comment that brought Axel to coming on to her. Because he's like that. Olette made it back to the island that evening and some rather interesting situations took place between the three of them.
Roxas is currently in a very numb state because of it. He lacks his virginity, he has his job back at Denny's, and he's going to school. There's also a chance that Axel will be his guardian, as humorous and pseudo-incestuous as it might be, given what's taken place (even if it was all about the girl, yo).
