Roxas

Basics
Name: Roxas
Age: Could be anywhere between one and eighteen. We’ll go with eighteen.
Height: 5’4". Short in other words.
Weight: Around 123 pounds, we’ll say.
Hair: Blond, spiky, with a funny woosh in it.
Eye colour: Dark blue.
Nicknames: Rox, Rox Ass, Kid, Number XIII, Key of Destiny
Style: Roxas doesn’t have a notable choice of garb, really. He dresses how he wants when he wants, but usually opts to wear black or white, or a mixture of both, occasionally with yellows, reds and blues in somewhat baggy clothing. Also has a strange preference—fetish, even—for zippers.
Sexual Preference: He’s got a perverted mind whether he admits to it or not, no matter how innocent and virginal he may act. Whether he’s straight or crooked is a mystery he’s never quite willing to reveal.
Personality
When you first meet Roxas he can come off as quiet, reserved; borderline grumpy. If you can prove to him that you’re a decent human being he's more than likely to open up, but if you’re an ass he'll of course be a bitch and probably tell you to go drown yourself. He's fairly lenient and relaxed when around friends, however, even in Axel's case, and shows genuine emotion when with them. Or, you know, as genuine as emotions can get when you’re a Nobody.
Roxas is friendly to all who can befriend him, yet at the same time, he has the tendency to be sardonic and condescending to certain people—especially towards those he doesn’t favour. He delights in relaxation just as much as he does with adventure, and can be a bit mischievous at times if his life isn’t at risk. Furthermore, Roxas is somewhat naïve and thickheaded, which has led him to be viewed as the 'little brother’ of his friends and elders, much against his wishes.
If he has one flaw, it's that his temper can sometimes get the best of him. Violence overwhelms Roxas when he’s in a great furor, and he often seeks vengeance upon those who have caused him to feel this way.
Roxas has a large understanding of the meaning of honour, overall, though. He tries to keep true to this distinction, recognizing the difference between right and wrong in any situation that’s presented to him. It could very well be for this reason that Roxas has been called a traitor more than once in his life, even if it is merely his own foolishness that’s caused him to be given such accusations.
Background
The youngest member of Organization XIII, Roxas is otherwise known as the "Key of Destiny" or Number XIII. He was brought to life when Sora was temporarily turned into a Heartless in Hollow Bastion, but rather then remaining in this form the boy was restored to his original self with the power of his own heart and a friend's, causing Roxas to lose all memories of ever being a part of Sora. He was promptly thrust into a world of Nobody's and the Organization, a group seeking to retrieve their missing hearts.
He soon became fast friends with the 'black sheep' otherwise known as Axel, or Number VIII, and for a while the two were inseparable—in fact, it sometimes seems that he gained his satirical humour and fun-loving side from spending so much time with said redhead. But for the sake of the memories of his prior life, Roxas soon deserted both his best friend and the Organization to find out why he of all people was chosen to wield the Keyblade.
He was confronted in The World That Never Was by a young man called Riku, who, driven by his need to help Sora regain his memories and awaken, fought against the blond. Roxas emerged victorious by the end of the first battle, but the older boy quickly realized he could use his powers of darkness to change forms—and in the end, Riku succeeded in defeating Roxas. He brought him to DiZ, who then placed Roxas in a virtual Twilight Town within Sora's memories, erasing all knowledge of the Organization XIII and giving him a new identity to throw off any possible pursuers.
But while the so-called witch, Naminé worked on restoring Sora's memories, Roxas began to see his other self in dreams, greatly disrupting the peaceful life he thought he'd always led in this simulated reality. Eventually, even Axel came back to haunt him as he accessed this false Twilight Town to rescue Roxas from DiZ's clutches.
Despite Number VIII's attempts, Roxas ended up successfully merging with Sora once again; to be used in DiZ’s plans to overthrow the Organization. After their defeat he and Naminé stated firmly that they will never fade, but live on within Sora and Kairi as both part of them and as their own separate entities, which leads a person to believe that they can indeed be detached from their 'Somebodies' to live as the individuals they once were, which, naturally, has been proven upon his arrival in Desai.

Interactions
Kuchiki Byakuya - Adoptive daddy, only he doesn't call him "daddy" because that would be kinda creepy. These two met when they were partnered up for Career Week in the astrophysics department and their relationship blossomed from there. Roxas is admittedly a bit intimidated by the shinigami's noblesse-- his affection for the man, however, is strong, and he feels like an actual human being when in his presence.
Zidane Tribal - Roxas. Adores. His. Tail. He wants to cuddle it on a daily basis, though he'd never tell this to Zidane (or anyone for that matter). They met at a grocery store when he was accidentally hit by said tail and they got along right away... as soon as Roxas stopped having mental breakdowns about, you know, the fuzzy monkey-tail and everything.
Reno - He finds himself treating this guy a lot like Axel without even realizing it. He could very well have a small crush on him, BUT LIKE HELL HE'D ADMIT TO THAT. He's mostly amused by Reno, and his constant threats of death for making sexual comments about his e-mag.
Matsumoto Rangiku - He thinks she's nice, regardless of her starting the whole "Rox Ass" thing. He's actually not frightened by her boobs, believe it or not... though they do merit a blushing or seven.
Selphie - Mostly just an acquantance at the moment who shares an interest in kitties just like yours' truly. Roxas gets along with her quite nicely.
Ling Yao - Old roommate that may have been scared into moving by the rumors about Axel and Roxas hillbilly raping each other and everyone when they're not looking. He sort of threatens his kittens so Roxas can't say he likes him that much. :<
Riku - He HATES this guy, even when he's not stalking him or telling him that he's an empty, meaningless being. He wishes Riku could just go away and stop ruining any self-confidence he may have otherwise had.
Dante - Dislikes him nearly as much as Riku. He's an ass to everyone for no good reason and Roxas openly disapproves of this.
Random Facts
- Enjoys skateboarding not to look cool, but merely for fun.
- Secretly gushes and has fits over cute animals, especially cats.

- Likes to be comforted physically when upset.
- Might actually be an animal rights activist deep down.
