#lux the keykid

[romy350-romyakari]

“Again to the desert we go uh?”

Here is my keykid, Lux[funny story why that’s her name but uh let just say old nickname that she kept around even once she moved to Daybreak Town]. This is an average daily job for her? At this point yes, she has been sent to Agrabah more time than I can count for my version of her story.

I put some color in it and call it a day. I just wanted to practice cleanup and maybe experiment a bit. The original sketch was a bit old.

I may talk more about her soonish since I should tell what is the deal with her till the end and the Missing Link era. Until then have this doodle page╰(*´︶`*)╯

more keykid things!!!!!!!!!!!! The design's based on my original player character avatar i used when i was active on khux with a few swaps (mainly cause i had no idea there was a moogle headband lol)

#she's around 15 during khux #when i first made her she was a deliverygirl for the moogle shop hence the sack on her back haha #man i cant believe shes almost 8 years old now that's really weird to think about #also im an oldhead on khux i always thought the colosseum ranking outfits were so good but they stopped doing that on the first year i thin #so a lot of people missed out on so many good outfits and it made me sad #but they let you use any avatar part now in the offline ver so actually its fine lol #i had an alternate outfit i used that was just the ursus regalia armor bc i rly liked the lux particles #but thats not really a flex bc ursus was the lowest ranking union for the entirety of the game's lifecycle rip #i was in vulpes for the first few years but i switched over to ursus to get better ranking prizes bc i could be in a top 5 ranking union lo #anyways #im rambling in my tags oops #talking #ig #kingdom hearts #khux #keykid #oc

are you fucking tone deaf? there are actually kids in unions getting into fights over this shit. one of my old party members lost his heart to darkness over a petty lux dispute, and now you’re seriously pinning unions against each other? you’re part of the problem.

Happy 10th Birthday to Kingdom Hearts X [chi] !

Ten years of cryptic mysteries, ten years of beautiful sprite work, ten years of fun with other players across the world and I’m so grateful to have been a part of it. The choice of the character’s gears lies in my desire for a keykid version of Sephiroth’s KH outfit and thus I picked Cloud to match.

Kingdom Hearts X Worlds Revamp, my true anniversary project, remains in progress. As of the Player slots raffle in the story previews fake screenshots, it will take place by late September at most. More details on the submission rules about this will be told around that time.

Cloud’s outfit parts aside from the chest  piece, the Chirithy plush and Sephiroth’s wing can be found on the Roboloid KHUX assets website. I’m eternally grateful for its existence.

I do not own any of the characters presented here. Please do not repost on other websites.

[ID : sprite edit of Ephemer and Skuld from Kingdom Hearts X chi hold a sign with text that reads happy ten year anniversary. Ephemer on the left wears his red scarf over Sephiroth’s KH1 outfit including the blue wing, he wears a dark blue pullover under the coat. On the right Skuld wears KH1 Cloud’s outfit, the bat-like wing as well, except for the cape. Chirithy and Nightmare Chirithy hang onto the sign’s silver borders, the former on the top left and the latter on the bottom right both facing the viewer. The sign is colored with a light turquoise green to dark green gradient with very light green text in the KH2 Gummi font. The background is a lighter variant of the same gradient. In the four corners of the sign the silver border features Lux-shaped ornaments of the same color. The watermark rests in the bottom left corner, the twitter logo is in front the first row and the tumblr one in front of the second and third rows. The text reads Pilichain23 and keykidpilipili and pilichainartandmemes. END ID]

daybreak town can't be a real city.

or, at least, how it exists in the khux timeline can't be natural. it is a town populated exclusively by god-powered children, their pets, a handful of the worst adults you've ever met, and the malevolent force of darkness. there are no other adults, ever. the handful of shopkeepers or the like that you run across are also kids. it's a land that is uniquely overflowing with light / lux. nobody ever mentions the lack of adults or how weird the environs are.

i've talked before about how, post - keyblade war, the dandelions have to have had more than just memories of the war erased. they had to have memories of anyone who didn't survive the war destroyed entirely because otherwise their new "reality" ( ie. a reality where the war never happened ) wouldn't be internally consistent. so we know that the dandelions and the keykids broadly can have their memories erased and rewritten without that much work.

so, prior to all that. a beautiful but empty city, filled with children, many of whom who fall to darkness and die long before the war is even a whisper. there are no adults. we're not given any reason to think that the player lived here prior to being granted their keyblade; we don't see them interacting with the town. as far as we see, they get their keyblade, and suddenly they're just — there. there's no history before the keyblade. there's no player before the keyblade. if we assume that's how it went for most of them —

like, and we can say that's just a function of it being a kh game. we can say it's just a function of the kind of game it is. but MoM talks, in the end, about the keykids like a backup, like a safety net he constructed on purpose. which leads to daybreak down as a place to store his safety net, an eldritch locale that shouldn't exist.

anyway, haunted by the thought that what if it wasn't a place these kids lived, before they were wielders. what if it wasn't a place anybody lived. what if MoM gathered up a bunch of a children who had a talent for the keyblade, spirited them away, dropped them in daybreak town and rewrote their memories so that there was no past to be missed, just the present, just now, just the keyblade. what if these kids, in at least some way, truly didn't exist before they were keyblade wielders. because the master of masters had no use for them before they were keyblade wielders.

#hana : headcanon. #like. do u get me. maybe im just thinking too hard abt it #but even by the standards of kh daybreak town is a DEEPLY weird place #and whenever i think about the way mom talks abt the keykids its like #i dunno i dunno...........

[keykid-questions]

How competitive is your keykid?

Are they the sort to try and collect as much Lux as they possibly can? How willing are they to team up with others, even those outside of their Union?

KH OC Week 2023 - Day 1

It's another year of KH OC Week! I'm so excited to be participating again! This year, I will be introducing the rest of my Keykids.

@khoc-week

Day 1: Introduction

Name: Zephyr Nicknames: Zeph Gender: Male Age: 15 Preferred Keyblade: Diamond Dust Union: Anguis Personality: Zephyr is withdrawn and distant. He is also stubborn and reckless, going off on his own and charging into the fray. He doesn't like following rules which often leads to trouble. At the start of his Keyblade wielder duties, he believed that it wasn't worth joining or making a party because everyone was fighting for the same thing: Lux. To Zephyr, it was a nuisance and he didn't want to get involved in any problems so he went solo. After meeting Ophelia, his opinions changed. He realized that being around people wasn't all that bad. Eventually, he developed feelings for Ophelia but it's unrequited because she likes Ephemer. Even so, Zephyr still wants to be near her since she was the first person to brighten up his world.

Name: Eileen Nicknames: Ei, Eiley Gender: Female Age: 15 Preferred Keyblade: Starlight Union: Anguis Personality: Eileen is kind, yet reserved. She has low self-esteem. She doesn't believe that she's strong like other Keyblade wielders. Even when she is praised for her efforts, she wonders if she really did do well. She is a perfectionist and doesn't want to disappoint anyone. She also overthinks a lot. She is in love with Ephemer, but doesn’t think that she’s good enough for him. She knows that Ophelia loves him as well so she decided to keep her feelings to herself. Despite the negative characteristics, Eileen does have a positive side. When she's with her friends, she is mischievous and childish.

Last year, I said Ophelia was the reason why I got into making OCs for Kingdom Hearts. But it was actually Eileen. She was my MC before she became a side character.

Name: Quinn Gender: Male Age: 16 Preferred Keyblade: Counterpoint Union: Vulpes Personality: Quinn is bubbly and upbeat. He loves to tell jokes and play pranks. He finds joy in the little things and wants everyone to be happy. He is fearless, eager to explore the unknown despite the possible dangers. He will get serious if anyone messes with his girlfriend, Priscilla. He is very protective of her and would do anything to make her happy. Quinn has a hatred for the darkness because it took the life of one of his best friends. He wishes it would disappear so that he and his companions can live happy and peaceful lives.

Name: Priscilla Nicknames: Pri, Cill Gender: Female Age: 16 Preferred Keyblade: Fairy Stars Union: Leopardus Personality: Priscilla is kind-hearted and calm. She is attentive as well, always willing to lend a hand to others. She tries to be positive when the going gets tough. She is gullible, falling for Quinn's tricks and attempting to find the good in everyone. She loves Quinn, her significant other, dearly. However, his tendency to be overprotective bothers her. Regardless of Quinn’s antics and the bad comments that are said about him, Priscilla cherishes him no matter what.

Name: Sterling Nicknames: Ster, Stir-fry (only by Zephyr) Gender: Male Age: 17 Preferred Keyblade: Olympia Union: Unicornis Personality: Sterling is the oldest out of his friend group, so he often takes care of everyone. He acts like a leader, being serious and calm all the time. Although, there are moments where he is immature and teases his sister and friends. He is a good listener and gives advice when necessary. He is protective of his loved ones to the point where it gets out of hand, but he means well. He simply doesn't want to lose them. This behavior stems from him and his twin sister, Seren, being orphans. He was mostly afraid of her not surviving than himself.

Name: Seren Nicknames: Serry, Ren Gender: Female Age: 17 Preferred Keyblade: Divine Rose Union: Leopardus Personality: Seren is polite and gentle. She is Sterling's sister, but behaves like an older sister to her friends. She often has snacks and medical supplies in her pouch for them. She thinks that she isn't a good fighter, but still wishes to help any way that she can. Before becoming Keyblade wielders, Seren and her brother, Sterling, were orphans. This caused Seren to rely on him a lot and she developed a fear of being alone. However, after obtaining the Keyblade and joining the Leopardus Union, she became independent while also relying on other people besides her brother.

Name: Neo Gender: Male Age: 14 Preferred Keyblade: Moogle O' Glory Union: Ursus Personality: Neo doesn't like to see fights nor like to fight. He would rather sit it out. He is skittish and shy, flinching even when someone is simply greeting him. He is the youngest Keykid, but doesn't appreciate being treated like a child. He can take care of himself, but his friends usually baby him. When he was younger, Neo wanted to be a hero. His dream came true when he got the Keyblade, but his anxiety makes it hard for him to fight enemies and interact with people.

Borrowing @strangefellows ’s and @redbud-tree’s keykids for this one, Jas and Cherry!

Day 2 of @khoc-week: Friendship!

For a… given definition of the word.

Even with the war in full swing and the Dandelions gone, the daily rote process of lux gathering was something everyone did - even those of them staying as neutral as possible. If nothing else, it powered up their medals and helped them keep somewhat grounded.

Etheria had finished up for the day, but hung around the streets around her favorite fountain plaza, unable to shake the feeling that something was going to happen. An itch beneath her skin that she got sometimes before something bad happened.

The scream that broke the tense silence validated the feeling and she was running almost as soon as it echoed out.

She skidded around the corner and stumbled to a stop at the sight of a small girl with bright pink hair struggling to free herself from the web of a Savage Spider, who was slowly moving towards her with gleaming eyes.

A younger wielder unfamiliar with the heartless had probably broken and egg and summoned the raid boss accidentally, and found herself far out of her league.

Etheria swore beneath her breath and threw herself forward, activating a medal to stun the heartless with a flare of light and heal the other girl. She slashed through the strands of web wrapped around the girl and caught her, leaping back out of immediate range of the heartless or its underlings.

The girl was squirming in her arms, trying to get herself free from the web, and Etheria set her down to help cut the web away. “You need to go-”

“No way!” The girl interrupted, scambling to her feet with a scowl as she summoned her keyblade. “I just managed to summon it! I’m gonna kill it and get all the lux!”

… so not an accident.

“You can’t beat a raid boss all by yourself at your level-” Her keyblade wasn’t even fully upgraded-

“Oh yeah? Watch me!”

“Wait no-”

The girl darted around Etheria, nimbly avoiding her attempt to grab her, and threw herself back at the spider. “You think I’m scared of you, you big ugly creepy? Think again!”

To her credit, she did manage to destroy one of the smaller spiders with a few good hits and a well timed medal activation. But that just made the big one angry, and Etheria barely managed to grab the girl and yank her back in time to avoid a hit.

“Okay, compromise,” Etheria said, arm firmly around the flailing girl’s waist. “You’re going to get yourself killed if you keep flailing around without a plan. If you refuse to run and desperately want to fight it, I’ll help you. But you have to listen, alright? Otherwise you’ll just get us both killed.”

The girl twisted around to scowl up at her, trying to get a good angle to elbow her in the stomach. “I didn’t ask for your help! I’m gonna kill it all by myself! That’ll show Jas that I can take care of myself so he’ll stop nagging all the time!”

Oh, so that’s how it was.

“You can’t prove anything if you’re dead,” Etheria argued, struggling to keep a grip on her. “And you’re not strong enough to fight that thing, no matter how much you want to-”

“Yes I can, put me down!”

Etheria cursed as the girl finally managed to twist around to jab her with a sharp little elbow and escape her grasp. She scrambled after her as the girl leapt at the spider with another screech.

Said screech was cut off with a grunt as the spider lunged at her to attack and a dark shape burst from a nearby alley to grab the small girl and deflect the spider’s manacles. Etheria sent a burst of fire at the smaller ones to fend them off while the new figure made a retreat.

Keeping a wary eye on the giant spider and it’s underling - now down to one after her fireball - she walked over to where the figure had consolidated itself into a boy a couple of years older than her and was growling at the girl in his arms.

“What were y’thinkin’, runnin’ off on your own and tryin’ to take down a godsforsaken raid boss all by yourself-”

The girl was squirming and struggling with a fierce pout. “I can do it! I told you I can, and I can! Lemme go Jas-”

“As if, you’re gonna stay right th’ hell here, Cherry.”

The high pitch of the obnoxious whine she let out in response made Etheria wince. “If you want to take her and get away, I can deal with the spider.”

The boy glanced over with a frown, shaking his head sharply. “Nah, ‘m not gonna do that t’you. No need for you t’clean up our mess just ‘cause someone,” he flashed a sharp glare at the girl, “doesn’t know her own limits.”

Cherry blew a raspberry up at him, crossing her arms with a pout.

Etheria shrugged a little wryly. “I’m used to rescuing new wielders from raid bosses, so it’s no problem on my end.”

“She probably just wants the lux! She’s stealing my kill!”

Etheria felt something tight and cold squeeze in her chest at the accusation, the words echoing the voices of too many others in this whole stupid war, and her hand tightened the slightest bit warily around her Starlight.

The boy sighed. “Shut up, Cherry.”

The girl squawked in offense, but it set Etheria a bit at ease.

“I don’t care about the lux,” she said quietly. “If you want it you can have it. But seven year olds shouldn’t be fighting raid bosses, especially not by themselves.”

“I’M NINE.”

Etheria sent her a very dubious look. She’d been nine when she’d arrived in Daybreak Town, and this girl was definitely younger than she’d been. “… sure. Nine year olds shouldn’t either. That’s how you die.”

“Oh look, someone with actual common sense,” Jas muttered under his breath. “She’s right, Cherry, now shut up and stay here before y’get hurt. Again.” He set her down and she stomped her feet angrily.

“You’re such a jerk! I can take care of myself!” Cherry’s eyes welled up in frustration, making her scrub at them as her shoulders hitched. “I-I can! I can do it! I don’t n-need your he-lp! It’s not fair!”

He sighed, kneeling down in front of her. “That’s not th’ point, Cherry. Yeah, you’re strong, no one’s gonna doubt that. But these things are somethin’ else, y’know that. Plenty o’ people don’t wanna fight ‘em alone, even if they can. I sure as hell don’t. And you gettin’ hurt isn’t gonna make me worry any less, it’s just gonna make me worry more.”

The girl sniffled, glaring at the ground. “But I don’t want you to…”

“Tough luck, you’re stuck with me. kiddo.” He ruffled her hair and pushed himself to his feet as the spider began getting restless behind them. “So, tag team this bastard?”

Etheria sent him a nod, turning back to the spider. “Fine with me. I don’t mind if she helps, but…”

“Yeah. Y’good to take point, Cherry?”

The girl’s lip was still trembling, but she raised her keyblade with a nod. “I’ll listen…”

“Good. Little one first, then th’ big guy?”

“Yeah!”

“Want me to take support, or interference?”

“I’ll handle interference, if y’wanna keep us healed up and buffed.”

Ugh. Support. “Sure, I can do that.” Etheria raised her blade, activating the upright medal with the redhead girl on it. “Go get ‘em.”

A small smirk pulled at the boy’s mouth as he leapt forward just behind Cherry, who flung herself forward with a yell.

Recklessness aside, Cherry was surprisingly strong for her age and with Jas running interference on the Savage Spider Etheria didn’t actually have to offer much support. He was powerful too - enough so that she was really hoping the neutrality of their interaction so far continued and she wouldn’t be forced to fight him - so other than the occasional heal and the regular repeat of buffs on them and debuffs on the spider she… didn’t really have to do much.

Which was partially why she preferred being at the center of the fight. Let Yiskah and Aella do support, they preferred it.

The fight was wrapped up fairly quickly with Jas helping, and Cherry cheered as the spider faded away and the light was drawn into her bangle.

Etheria sent one last healing spell their way to take care of any lingering scrapes and bruises, then dismissed her keyblade. For a long moment she debated slipping away while they were both distracted, but she couldn’t deny her own curiosity. There was something about them that was… familiar. Not in a personal way, but… their magic.

The girl less so - she had strong magic clinging to her that was likely tied to whatever world she was from, but the feel of it was familiar only in that it had a similar shape and feel as that which the humans used in her own world of Enchanted Dominion.

The boy though… he felt like her. Magic seeped into his very essence, a muddy mix of human and unmistakably fae. Different enough that she could tell that he wasn’t from her world, but the base feel of it was the same.

It didn’t really matter, she knew - she’d met several people with fae or fairy lineage here. Had even met a fairy or two from different worlds. But this was the first time she’d met someone who felt quite this similar.

It drew her in, made her feel a likely-misplaced sense of kinship.

“You’re both alright then?” she asked as she approached.

They turned and the boy nodded. “We are, yeah. Thanks for th’ help, and for tryin’ t’keep Cherry out o’ trouble. I would say she’s a magnet for it if the truth wasn’t that she goes lookin’ for it.”

Cherry stuck her tongue out at him.

“I can tell,” Etheria flashed him a wry smile. “I take it this sort of thing happens a lot?”

“You got no idea,” he rolled his eyes. “Pretty sure ‘Cherry, no’ is ingrained in my vocabulary forever now. It’s jus’ reflexive.”

Etheria laughed as the girl protested. “That doesn’t surprise me. I’m Etheria, by the way. What about you?”

He hesitated a moment, something wary flashing in his eyes, before he answered slowly. “I’m… Jas. Jas Tallow.”

Ah, he could sense her fae nature. No wonder he was wary to give his name, and had likely altered it somehow.

She flashed him a smile. “Nice to meet you, Jas. And I’m not fully fae any more than you are, don’t worry. I’ll not be stealing your name. I wouldn’t have anything to do with it here anyway - not in this place.”

Well, that wasn’t necessarily true, she supposed. Not with the war going on - frankly controlling or possessing members of other Unions probably was… something to keep an eye out for.

Judging by his raised brow, he was having similar thoughts.

“Okay fair, I would, but I’m not the type.”

“I’ll jus’ take y’ at your word, shall I?” he asked, crossing his arms. “Still, I do appreciate th’ help.”

“Hmmmm,” Cherry narrowed her eyes and leaned comically far forward. “What Union are you anyway?”

Etheria stiffened as Jasper groaned, “Cherry. It doesn’t matter.”

“But I’m curious!” The girl protested. “If she’s in one of our Unions then it all makes sense!”

Unions, plural. So they weren’t hyper-loyal to their Unions like so many others had become, at least. “Given I don’t even know which Unions you belong to, that logic doesn’t really track, does it?” She pointed out. “I don’t really care much about Union loyalty - if someone is in trouble I help. This whole war is stupid anyway, we don’t even know the real point of it.” She still didn’t know why Aced was so set on killing her - every time they were in proximity they ended up fighting and he wouldn’t even tell her why.

“Hear hear,” Jas agreed with a scoff. “I can’t believe anyone’s takin’ it seriously. Like… it’s so pointless. Collect the most lux t’do what with it?”

She grimaced. What indeed… if everyone knew what it was some of the Union leaders were actually planning…

She didn’t want to know how much worse it would get if Gula’s plan became known. She didn’t think it would work, none of them thought it would work, but…

Etheria nodded crossing her arms. “Yeah. Everything’s gotten so far out of control I don’t think even the Union leaders know what the plans are anymore.”

“Hrmmm.” Cherry puffed out her cheeks. “That’s not what I was asking.”

Such a kid… she shouldn’t be too surprised she supposed. Etheria sighed. “Unicornis, if you’re that worried about it.”

Cherry made a face and nodded. “That makes sense, no wonder you’re so stuffy.”

“Wha- hey!”

“It’s true!!” The girl pointed at her in accusation. “You’re Unicornis so you’re stuffy and no fun, and Jas is Vulpes so he’s a worrywart who’s always nagging!”

… Etheria wasn’t used to being offended at stupid Union stereotypes, but stuffy???

Her party would have a stitch laughing so hard if Cherry had said that to their face. Half the time she was the one they were dragging out of trouble.

Some of her offense must have shown on her face because Jas snorted. “Y’know the stereotypes are bull, Cherry. Even if y’are th’ perfect stereotypical representation of Ursus.”

She stuck her tongue out at him, drawing a huff of laughter from Etheria.

“Maybe I’m boring compared you, then,” she said, “but my friends would beg to differ. Especially given how often I end up fighting Aced…”

They both whipped around to stare at her, Cherry’s expression disbelieving “You’ve fought Master Aced? Multiple times? And you’ve won???”

“I- I never said I won,” Etheria corrected quickly.

“You wouldn’t be here if you hadn’t!”

… alright fair. “Normally yes, but I think he and Master Ira are specifically keeping tabs on each other because Master Ira - or sometimes Master Invi - always shows up not long after the fight starts so I can slip away.” Eventually she might find out why the Union leaders were so interested in her - Ava made sense, and Ira could be rationalized, but the other three? Invi’s was likely a side result of her friendship with Yiskah, but Gula had approached her himself in that house, and Aced was more hostile towards her than anyone else aside from Ira.

Perhaps it was just her connection to the Dandelions.

Jas was looking at her like she was a puzzle, something suspicious in his gaze. She shrugged helplessly at him.

“I don’t know what I did to make him hate me, unless it’s just because Master Ira likes me and I was involved with Master Ava’s… group.”

His eyes widened. “Y’were a Dandelion.”

“No, I… was offered a place, and I had several friends among them, but I… I couldn’t just leave. Not when so many people would be left behind.” She glanced away, twisting her sleeve between her fingers. “My party’s the same. We all turned down the offer, and we’re just… trying to help whoever we still can. Anyone who doesn’t want to fight, or the kids who shouldn’t be on the front lines or aren’t strong enough to protect themselves.”

“Huh. That’s… admirable. There a lot o’ you?”

“There’s only six- five. Five core members.” The memory of Vale’s betrayal still stung nearly as much as the dark scar he’d left across her torso. “There’s around a dozen of active members overall, with about two dozen others under our protection.”

“That’s not a lot,” Cherry said, bouncing on her toes. “Most parties I know are like, a hundred people!”

“There ain’t any hundred person parties, Ursus’ entire Union is less’n five hundred people,” Jas sighed. “I don’t even know if you’ve ever been in a real party. A dozen is on th’ smaller side, though.”

Etheria shrugged. “We were bigger, but the Dandelions left, and we’ve… had casualties.” She tried not to think of many they’d lost, not even bodies left behind to remember them. She shook her head. “Do you guys have a party, or support?”

“We don’t need a party, we can take care of ourselves!” Cherry declared, settling her hands on her hips.

Jas shook his head, hedging, “Not a proper party, no, but we’ve got… friends… who help out here an’ there. S’good enough.”

Ah, true loner types. The offer on the tip of her tongue died, and she nodded. “Well if you need a few more, we’re usually in the area. Ask the Moogle about talking to someone from the Light’s Guard and he’ll let us know that you want to meet up.”

Jas’ expression was startled, brows furrowed. “You… don’t know anything about us.”

“I know you’re loner types, I know you’re going out of your way to protect a kid with a penchant for trouble, and I know you’re they type to fight side by side with a person from another Union, no questions ask, and let them play healer for you.” She flashed him a wry smile, crossing her arms. “As they say, actions speak louder than words, and you’ve a good heart Jas Tallow. I don’t need your full name to read that.” She turned away, tossing a wave over her shoulder. “Send a word our way if you ever need help, or you find someone who does.”

As Etheria walked away she heard Cherry’s loud whisper, “… she was weird.” and snorted to herself.

It was a shame they weren’t interested in joining a party - she would have loved to see their reactions to the others.

This was fun, thanks for letting me borrow your kids! Hopefully I did them justice. Etheria is absolutely nonplussed at Cherry, what is she supposed to do with this child. How is Jas not driven insane.

During its run, khux had certain set bonus hours where you could get more Lux or whatever, and one of those bonus hours was at 3 in the goddamn morning. So now I’m just thinking about the poor keykids who had to wake up at before the crack of dawn to go kill heartless.

(This was really just an excuse to draw my keykid Juniper in my pajamas adfds)

Four Unions worth of keykids have been fully designed, and I'm working on names for them all.

However, the unions for canon characters are also decided! They are as follows:

Ephemer: Ursus. Instead of investigating the Book, he's trying to figure out why Wielders keep disappearing.

Skuld: Also Ursus. One of the top solo wielders in the Union, and the leader of Ephemer's party to cover his tracks.

Lauriam: Anguis. Tends the local gardens, which nobody else wants to do.

Blaine: Unicornis. Nobody quite knows why he's there, but it's assumed that he likes the numerous libraries that the rest of the Union funds.

Ventus: Vulpes. Ava is like a big sister to him. He actually knows when it's not Ava in this AU.

Strelitzia: Leopardos. The Wielder she follows with such fervor is Ryunami, though she's not entirely sure if she wants to befriend her or not.

Elrena: Leopardos. She's only in Strelitzia's party for the sake of Lux boosts, and is the main reason their party gets decent rewards every week.

Side character blurbs will be up for mobile viewers by the end of the weekend.

I'll have an original ver of Lux 3.0 and the more monochrome vibe version just for good measure

YES I HAVE BEENN THINKING OF MY NEW KEYKID FOR A WHILE DGBJKADFJBG

Yes, 3.0

1.0 is till Keyblade War

2.0 is data time but same keykid just different clothing style bc some internal subconscious part of her just shifted after war

3.0 reincarnation???? could be if at this point

I just realized the og browser chi game had six worlds accessible including Daybreak Town, just like the number of MoM’s apprentices.

Pro tip: Trickmaster

Getting a raid boss to spawn is mostly random though there are some strategies I've seen. But the fastest and easiest way I've found is to clear quest 230, and a raid boss will spawn everytime. I haven't yet heard of this anywhere else. So try it out, let me know your results!

When Kay the keykid isn't collecting lux or organizing her medal collection, her favorite thing to do is shop for new outfits and accessories to expand her ever-growing closet. She's the ultimate fashionista, but while she's sported many, many, many looks over the years, this one has a special place in her (my) heart.

#kingdom hearts #khux #keykid #my art #union crossed #well it took 5 years and the announcement of impending destruction (for the app) but i finally drew my gal #but even though the (data) world is ending there's no need to fear for kay's future #she recently inherited her beloved grandfather's old farm and is planning to retire in a small but cozy burg called pelican town #after years of fighting she's ready to settle down (and maybe fall in love with a cute engineer)

I wrote down some stuff about my keykid, now one year after KHUx shutdown. Nothing is really set in stone, but it’s the Basics. Preparing myself for Missing Link and all lol

It got quite long and also has some side information about this “canon” I have here. But pretty much all of the UX story happened here in context of what I wrote down for my keykid.  Her name is Aquanort. 

Character Info:

Vulpes

Starlight, Stroke of Midnight, and Counterpoint are her main keyblades

Aro/Ace

Quite the loner, likes to do things alone, appreciates silent company

Selective mute

Hyper focuses on the collection of Lux / battling Heartless

Keeps her thoughts to herself, bottles up emotions

SIde information to this canon: The Foretellers and Union Leaders

The gameplay of khux is canon in here, meaning that medals, jewels, outfit boards, banners are all a thing

They are made by the Foretellers and later by the Union Leaders

It’s not known who among the Foretellers did what, but the Union Leaders were open about it

Brain, Ephemer: Gacha banner distribution, Medal selection

Ephemer, Skuld: Medal attributes (what medal does what etc.), distributing the Quests

Ventus: drawing the outfits

Lauriam: finalizing the outfits, searching for “event heartless” to fight

Brain, Skuld: Jewel distribution

Brain, Lauriam: Spirit parts (obv.)

Yeah people came yelling at them. About everything. Lmao.

Story:

typical RPG trope of "can't remember her past", woke up in Daybreak Town with no memories (i actually only have no clue about a backstory sorry)

just went along with things because she doesn't know what else to do

was pretty average until she got the Bangle from the strange Chirithy

she quickly learned that it apparently collected "dark energy", she questioned that a lot internally, but everyone around her seemed not to care so …

… she also felt like she was one of the few people who actually figured out how to use this Bangle (Guilt / Special Attack Bonus, thanks SENA)

started to dive deeply into the ways of using the power of the keyblade, aka she knows which medal is currently the Real Shit, and handles her jewels smart

This of course fuelt the Guilt gathered and it didn't take her long to see that this is indeed the Power of Darkness all her guildmates were afraid of. But no one really ??? cared or saw ???

anyways she met Ephemer and was just "finally a gay person i can trust" and this is why they are friends. The same goes for Skuld.

the Sewer Squad kinda adopted her because "man she could use some friends you know". She appreciates it, but is wary around them. Doesn’t talk to them much.

Anyways darkness inside her grows because of the collected Guilt and it manifests into the wings she has. They are cool looking and everyone thinks it's an ornament she's wearing. (it's not)

she doesn't want to join the Dandelions because, well. She's aware she's not a light that should carry on. She wonders deeply why Ava asks her in the first place.

She feels her duty is to fight in the keyblade war. She can't be the only one with this darkness gathered from the Bangle!

She is honest to god not surprised to know that the Nightmare Chirithy comes from her. But she wields that darkness better than it and defeats it.

Oh she goes rampage in the keyblade war. Yes she fights other keyblade wielders besides the Foretellers. She's goddamn upset that no one saw this darkness growing inside everyone.

after she got saved by Ephemer and Skuld and forgot the events of the Keyblade War, her mind is a complete jumbled mess and she talks to no one for weeks

She absolutely does not have a drive at all, missing this drive of wanting to fight in the keyblade war. And apparently there wasn’t one! Everything she did felt like a lie.

She sometimes just laid around the fountain square all day like a starfish just to avoid talking to people. She’s really going through it.

Ephemer found her like this one day and she was fucking embarrassed but at least it was Ephemer who talked to her.

to find some purpose again she dived deeply into fighting and Lux collecting

Raid Bosses, special events, etc.

while not having many friends / not greatly known, other keykids came to her to ask her for tips about defeating heartless / other gameplay stuff. She was like some secret tip.

the Union Leaders being aware of this, and because she's friends with Ephemer and Skuld, they let her know about upcoming medals 👀

she was very confused by the Darkling situation, wondering why she hasn't become one yet …

during Wreck it Ralph she thought the Darklings were after her, wanting her to become one of them

anyways Ending Time

finally seeing the actual Darkness, she was pissed af. In her mind, if there should be "one darkness" it should be her alone. (unaware of the actual Darkness plot)

things play out pretty much canon, til only Ephemer, Skuld, and her are left in the Ark room

seeing the helpless situation with the four other Darknesses, and herself being so much darkness already, playing that she got overtaken by one was a given.

Ephemer and Skuld were fucking FURIOUS, the "bad darkness" taking their "good darkness"

she felt so awful about it. Very very awful. But this was the destiny she saw coming eventually. Being a being of darkness, she wanted to use this to her advantage to save her friends. She never was a Dandelion, she never was a light in the first place, but she loved Ephemer and Skuld for accepting her like she was and she wanted to make sure that they could live on.

She thought about becoming a Dream Eater, but considering her state of being more darkness than anything else, she doesn't want to end up being a Nightmare, and instead decides to move on.

(aka becoming Xehanort / KHML Player (pending))

#kingdom hearts #khux #keykid oc #that's my Aquanort lmao #yes she had this name since 2018. #yes the ending is funny to me.

Top: Ophelia, Zephyr, Eileen, Quinn

Bottom: Priscilla, Sterling, Seren, Neo

I miss playing KHUX, so I downloaded it again and remade my two keykids that I had before and also made some more. Ophelia represents the player character. Quinn and Priscilla are lovers. Sterling and Seren are siblings who are in a trio with Neo called the Lux Trio. 

Ophelia is the one who gets reincarnated into Xehanort while Zephyr is transported to The Final World. Quinn falls into darkness and turns into a Darkling. Priscilla chooses to reincarnate instead of sleeping. The Lux Trio merge with their Chirithies and become Dream Eaters. As for Eileen, she’s the only keykid to survive.
