Name: Sora

Gender: Male
Canon: Kingdom Hearts

History:
♔Keyderp Story
Personality:
Sora is a young man that has the heart the size of the world. Not only does he do his best to see the good in everyone, he's more than willing to go out on a limb for those he considers friends no matter how complicated the situation might be. He doesn't hesitate to fight for what's right and believes that there is good everywhere; it's just a matter of freeing it from the darkness! He doesn't like hating people and would much rather just be on neutral ground with them, not really the type to believe that people are inherently evil. (Though Xehanort does test those limits regularly.) Sora tends to care for the well being of his friends and loved ones more than he does for his own safety and has to be reminded--constantly--that he needs to look out for himself. Everything he does is for the people he holds dear and he won't stop fighting until all of them are safe.
His positive outlook on the world has a bit of a negative side to it. Because he's always looking for the good in things, sometimes he can be a bit oblivious to the danger he's getting himself into. He's getting better about it! Really! He just has this bad habit of ignoring the warning signs because he's trying to be a hero for everyone around him. This obliviousness also comes into play with everyday things in life as well. Considering he's been world hopping and fighting heartless since he was really young, Sora never really got the same sort of real world experiences that most people get. His knowledge in regards to some subjects is a bit skewed and a little too innocent given that he's a teenage boy. It can, at times, make him seem a lot younger than he really is--especially when he starts pouting. The boy can't help but pout whenever someone's poking fun at him or calling him out on something stupid he did. It's just his natural state of being.
Just because he can be childish at times--have a child-like innocence is a better way of stating it--doesn't mean he's not mature at the same time. He's been involved in what is essentially a war against the darkness for several years now and he's seen the best and worst of people of all kinds. He understands the reality of the situations he gets himself into but tries to keep his positive outlook, tries to keep the spirits of those he's with up by looking on the bright side of everything. He can get bogged down just as easily as the next person but Sora fights hard to keep his sunny disposition, never wanting to let others see just how much things are getting to him. He's also well aware that every decision he makes effects everyone on the grander scale and that's a lot of weight for a young man to bear on his shoulders but he does it the best he can. Sometimes Sora has a nasty habit of taking on too much weight and those are the times that one may actually be able to notice that he's crumbling. But he'll fight it until the end because he doesn't want others to worry about him.
Underneath that sunny disposition is a young man that fears failing. He fears not being able to complete what he's set out to do and failing those that are rooting for him; those that are depending on him. Failure haunts his dreams and every time he ends up in battle it's a nagging voice in the back of his mind. The idea of losing, of not being able to complete his goals and letting down the people counting on him is something that Sora really doesn't know how to deal with and the few times that it's almost happened left him reeling. His facade of being constantly happy broke and it was clear that he was struggling to keep moving forward; to keep fighting because he was starting to doubt what he was fighting for and if he was good enough. This fear and the prospect of feeling that way again is why Sora clings so desperately to the friends he makes, finding strength in them; the strength to keep going until the end.
There's also a heavy sadness that weighs on Sora's heart that he does his best to manage without letting it consume him. Sadness for the worlds that have already been lost and for the people that have suffered so much already. His heart, being as big as it is, aches for each and every one of them and Sora tends to become personally invested in every situation he comes across, whether he gets actively involved or not. The loss of any life--any heart--hurts him and makes the weight on his shoulders feel heavier each time. (We see this with the loss of Tron, as Rinzler, in the second game.) But this sadness is just another part of the force that drives him to keep going, reminding him that there have already been sacrifices and he can't stop now. Not yet.
Underneath that sunny disposition is a young man that fears letting down the people that mean the most to him. He's fighting for not just his own world and his friends but for the worlds of everyone else as well and it can be a lot of bear. Several times he's found himself knocked down a few pegs (such as in the first game when Riku is able to take the Keyblade from him as it's "true wielder" and Donald and Goofy leave him to follow the keyblade's true master) and while he does manage to get back up and charge forward, it's not without a weight lingering on his shoulders. Each time he stumbles and each time he makes a mistake the consequences weigh on Sora (such as when Tron, as Rinzler, is lost in Kingdom Hearts 2) and he carries that guilt with him. On a more positive note, Sora does have a knack for taking these experiences and using them to motivate himself to work harder and keep going, not one to let himself crumble. (Though who knows if one day it'll all become too much for him.)
As an emotional person, in general, Sora isn't without various forms of sadness and it displays itself in a number of ways. When he thought Riku was gone, lost to the Darkness, he kept looking when it seemed hopeless, refusing to believe that his best friend was truly gone and when he finally found him again he collapsed to his knees in relief with tears streaming down his face. Over-reaction? Maybe. But prior to that Sora had refused to let himself show just how much the loss of Riku had really gotten to him. The same could be said about Kairi though his way of showing how much he'd missed her was essentially stabbing his own heart out/unlocking his heart to free hers and turning himself into a Heartless so that was a rather extreme case of showing how desperately he missed someone. More than once he's shown grief over someone giving up their life/existence for his, promising to find a way to bring them back and give them another chance. (Such as with Namine and Roxas.) Sora is also a very forgiving individual to the point that even those that he had once fought against will find themselves receiving pity or even aid from him if he's allowed. (A prime exampling here being Maleficent though Donald restrained Sora from actually going to help her when she was overpowered by Dusks.)
Sora is also not without a temper and it tends to flare up whenever people question his decisions and actions especially. He doesn't like being treated like a child, either, and will get rather defensive if anyone tries to tell him he's too young to handle something. He won't hesitate to remind them that he's already been through hell and back and is more than capable of dealing with anything life has to throw at him. He also doesn't take kindly to his friends being hurt and will fight whoever he has to in order to protect them. This temper of his can sometimes blind him from the real dangers of situations sometimes, as he tends to act before thinking it through when his temper flares. (Though he's nowhere near as bad as he use to be, especially after the events of 3D. He's learned to tame his temper and use it in more productive ways...most of the time.)
Long story short is that Sora is a young man that is still growing and learning; still coming into his own as a person. Helping people and protecting the worlds connected to his own is what drives him and keeps him going even through the worst of days and this isn't going to change, no matter what any world or person throws at him.

He should have left it somewhere safe. Tucked away with the rest of his belongings in the place he shared with Roxas but it was hard not to keep it with him. Old habits and all. So Sora had kept the small keepsake, the precious Wayfinder, on him since the moment he'd come to in this strange world but good luck can turn into bad luck pretty fast sometimes.
An ambush by some monsters had come at a bad time for the group Sora had been traveling with and while they had managed to retreat it hadn't come without some injuries and plenty of damage. Sora hadn't even realized that his precious trinket was broken until much later in the evening after helping some of the others get healed up. (Even Nami, his moogle, had curled up on his backpack in exhaustion which was a testament to how crazy things had been.) He'd started to sit down by the fire that was just hot coals now, exhaustion catching up to him finally, when a something pricked his hip. The young man winced and stood again, hand going into his pocket only for him to freeze as he realized the culprit--
The broken pieces of his Wayfinder.
An hour had passed since then and the young man sat, attentive to his surroundings in case any monsters crept up, but sad all the same, absently toying with the shells as he gazed up at the stars. It had made it through so much and survived so many Heartless battles and bouts with the Organization and everything else...and it's cactaurs that do it in. Sora can't help but laugh softly at the entire thing though it's almost forced as his gaze drops to look at the broken pieces. Fitting for a broken promise, huh?
Tears pricked at his eyes and he took a deep breath, letting it out slowly to try and calm his nerves. He had to keep it together. He couldn't let himself think like that. There was no reason for--Kairi would never want him to believe that and neither would Riku. None of his friends would. His fingers had closed tightly around the broken pieces of shell for a moment and Sora forced himself to relax, fingers uncurling as he looked down at it again.
Maybe he could find someone to fix it. No reason to give up hope just yet, right?
