Personality
As a Nobody, Roxas isn't supposed to have a heart or feel emotions--and when he's feeling stubborn about it, he'll try to adopt that stoicism. But really he feels a lot of things; or at least, he has an excellent memory of how to feel. He's introverted and somewhat self-centered, but he likes to be around what friends he has. At his core he's optimistic and endearingly naive, but he'll only show that side to close friends, since he doesn't like to be seen as a dork. The more likely a person seems to pick on him, the more likely Roxas is to hide behind sarcasm. It's generally pretty easy to get a reaction out of him, though, and he can be especially susceptible to frustration and jealousy. He's never felt he fit in anywhere, so he can be prone to angst when left alone too long.
Powers and Abilities
Roxas is one of a handful of people who can wield a keyblade, and is skilled enough in swordplay to handle two at once. He's very agile, and strong despite his small frame. Magic-wise, he had control over the element of light, and as a Nobody, could also utilize the powers and pathways of darkness.
History
Roxas came into existence when Sora turned into a Heartless at Hollow Bastion and essentially split into two beings--Heartless and Nobody. Because of Sora's short time in the form of a Heartless, though, Roxas kept no clear memories from his time spent as a part of Sora, just a collection of feelings and vague familiarities. Manifesting in Twilight Town, he was quickly discovered by Xemnas, the leader of Organization XIII, given his name, and recruited into that group of Nobodies. As a wielder of the keyblade, he was invaluable to the Organization, as he could collect hearts from the Heartless, sending them to Kingdom Hearts, which was how the Organization strove to regain their lost emotions.
Roxas, however, was kept pretty much out of the loop, not trusted as the youngest and newest member of the Organization. Most of its members didn't deign to get to know him, but the Organization's number VIII took a particular interest in him, and the two became best friends, though the bond was always stronger on Axel's side. For a while, Axel was what kept Roxas anchored. Confronted with the ideas that he had no heart and existed in a world that saw his creation as a mistake, it was comforting to have someone who thought well of him; it was a validation.
But it wasn't really enough. Frustrated by the incompleteness felt by all Nobodies and by his utter ignorance about himself, Roxas decided to leave the Organization to search for answers. In particular he wanted to learn why he had the keyblade, and to meet his other if he could. However, he ran into trouble when Ansem and Riku discovered him, and thought he was needed to waken Sora from his year-long sleep. After an initial failure, Riku defeated him, and Ansem trapped him in a fake Twilight Town, replacing his memories so he would not think to protest the imprisonment.
Roxas spent only a short time in this world, trying to enjoy a summer vacation with newly-granted friends but interrupted constantly by the real world. It began with dreams of Sora's past; as Namine restored the memories she'd taken from Sora, Roxas's memory was also affected, and he began to recall his other's life for the first time--not that he knew he had an other at this point. When the Organization discovered his location, they sent Axel to either retrieve him, or terminate him if he refused to cooperate. This in turn forced Ansem to speed up the timetable to waken Sora, and Roxas had no idea where to turn. On the one hand, his "best friend" who he couldn't remember and who worked for some dubious organization, and on the other, some man employing a mysterious girl who wanted him to meet Sora. He struggled not to cooperate with either party, but in the end his anger towards the manipulative Ansem led him to Sora. Once they met, Roxas again became a part of him.
