Yami Dunkan
“The Balance must not be disturbed!”
Age: Cannot age but when he was corrupted by darkness he was around 18.
Family: Mother and Father deceased, Sister - Cassandra, whereabouts unknown, presumed to be a Heartless or a Nobodie.
Race: He is considered a Heartless.
Side: Neutral, he is forced to stay put when there are matters that concern the war between Darkness and Light, he is only permitted to watch. He may only take a stand when there are certain things that may ruin the Balance.
Job: Keeper of Balance and the eyes of Darkness.
Items: Compass of Balance (He uses this orb to check up on the Balance's current state, or if doing something will shift the Balance. The orb is also used to summon Yami when the dark figure wants to talk to him.
Accessories: Locket that belonged to his sister.
Personality: To start, Yami is a very special, and probably unique, Heartless. Frankly the word "Heartless" doesn't suit him for he has a heart and emotions for that matter. He is considered a Heartless because he is mainly composed of darkness, a fact that he isn't too fond of. Yami may have emotions but he does his best to hide them, that's why he is mostly seen with a melancholic or a blank expression on his face. Yami is completely indifferent to wards the war between Darkness and Light, he has his role to maintain the Balance but he is 100% neutral to it. He only cares about it when it's time to preserve the Balance.
Yami is constantly obsessed with the Balance, he is mostly forced to maintain it. Otherwise he is summoned to the white room and probably punished by the figure that dwells in it.
Yami is a loosened up kind of guy. He likes to go with the flow and really doesn't care about a lot of things. But the things he does care about, he will even move mountains. One of those things, and probably the most important to him, is his sister Cassandra. He is obsessed with finding her and he will stop at nothing until he does. His sister is probably the most important thing to him, he will even put her above the Balance he so eagerly fights for. The memories of when they were both kids and played together at Hollow Bastion are what he cherishes most. He still grieves whenever he thinks about her, he blames himself for what happened to her. He believes he should've been strong enough to keep her safe when the Heartless started taking over Hollow Bastion.
Though he can't engage in any battle that may cause a shift in the Balance, Yami loves to battle. His dull and lifeless eyes even shine at the thought of battling a foe. If a battle does not influence the Balance, he won't even think twice.
Yami isn't too fond of Heartless, frankly, Yami hates Heartless. It was their fault his Sister lost her heart and he even grins as he absorbs Heartless or slice and dices them. He won't stop killing them until he finds the huge one that took his sister away from him.
History: When Yanagi was born, the Heartless where starting to take over Hollow Bastion. People thought it was only a phase and it would pass, but they were terribly wrong. A year past and Cassandra was born and surprisingly, the Heartless threat ceased. The people were happy, although every now and then a small group of Heartless appeared at the town center and caused a little mayhem, but they would usually go away. Yanagi and Cassandra were forbidden to go out when night came or walk around without their parents. Their whole childhood was mostly spent around their house. The Heartless took a liking to the area around the castle, how fortunate for Yanagi and his family since their house was at the edge of town.
When both of them were already teenagers, they started exploring Hollow Bastion, although their parents didn't know what they were up to. It was mostly Cassandra's fault, she would always say Yanagi was a chicken and he would always go with her for a walk around town. Yanagi couldn't say it was all that bad, frankly he felt relieved to get out of his house for a while. This became their secret, every now and then when their parents were out, they would always sneak away. But the place they picked up to explore wasn't the best... They were always exploring the castle's grounds. They picked up some interesting items along their little travels. They used to hide them beneath the floor boards of their house.
One day though, out of nowhere, Heartless started sprouting out of the ground. They appeared everywhere, even at the edge of town. With the help of a few people that had a way to escape Hollow Bastion, most of the people escaped. Yanagi and Cassandra's parents didn't make it. Oblivious to what was happening at town, the two were happily exploring the Castle's grounds. The two stumbled upon a entrance to the Castle a few days before it all began. The Castle seemed deserted, not a soul was in sight. At first they were excited, a new place to explore, but as the two went deeper and deeper into the castle, they started to feel something very strange.
They wanted to get out of there, they thought their parents where starting to worry about them, but they couldn't find their way of that place. They wandered around the castle, the Shadows peeking out, waiting, hissing, starring.
The siblings stumbled upon a very strange room. It was huge but it didn't have much. Only a pool filled with what appeared to be a dark ooze. As they inspected the pool, a huge Heartless fell from the ceiling. It walked to wards the siblings. They were cornered... They backed off as much as they could, until they were at the edge of the pool. The Heartless was about to smash them, Yanagi did the only thing he could do. He pushed his sister aside. She fell to the floor, but Yanagi took a direct blow. He was launched up wards and as he fell onto the pool, he could only gaze at his sister and say he was sorry.
After what seemed a life time. Yanagi woke up, but something was different, he yelled in horror as he looked at his hands and saw nothing but darkness, his body was all covered in it. When he finally calmed down, his hands started to turn back to normal. He couldn't even think straight, but suddenly glimpses of what happened at the castle started popping up. He suddenly started sobbing as he remembered when he fell into the strange pool. He was so ashamed... He didn't have the strength to protect his sister, now she was probably dead...
He looked at his surroundings, trying to know where he was. He wanted to return to that castle, he needed to, maybe, just maybe, his sister was alive. He looked down and saw a small orb. He blinked and before he knew it, he was in a white room. He looked for a way out of that place, he didn't like it, he felt like he was being watched. Out of the ground popped a shadow figure. Yanagi narrowed his eyes. The figure didn't even care. It started to talk, it seemed he was explaining something to Yanagi, something about the importance of "Balance" between the Light and the darkness. Yanagi tried to tell him to shut up, but he couldn't speak. Then he tried to walk away, but he couldn't move. The figure talked and talked. Then he finally went to the important part... Cassandra. Yanagi's eyes widened as the figure mentioned she lost her heart to that huge Heartless. Then he said something about his heart not being able to be absorbed by the darkness. Yanagi couldn't do anything, he was frozen in place. The figure extended his hand and told him if he wanted power to have his revenge, he needed to work for it. After that Yanagi could finally move. Without even thinking, Yanagi nodded and the figure smirked. The last thing he remembers is going back to the place he awakened at. In his hand stood a scythe made entirely of darkness and on the other the orb.
Ever since then, Yanagi became Yami, the eyes of the Darkness, one of the keepers of Balance.
Weapon: Cassandra - Yami's weapon of choice. This enigmatic weapon is really an extension of Yami. It can morph into any kind of weapon, whether it is a sword or a gun. But Yami is still unable to control it at will. For the time being he can only summon a scythe. The scythe changes depending on who or what Yami is fighting. It will be made of darkness if Yami fights beings who are weak against darkness, or a silvery-white and ornamented scythe if he fights beings who are weak against Light.
The Scythe takes this form when Yami uses it's darkness "mode" so to speak. The whole Scythe is covered with darkness when he battles.
The Scythe takes this form when Yami needs to use Light against his opponents. The blade becomes imbued with light. Yami has reason to believe that this form of his scythe represents the unbeatable will to find his sister, for she is probably the only thing that brought him back.
Ability: Darkness Harvest:[/color] Yami has the power to absorb any heartless he chooses to. The time he takes absorbing the target depends on the size of said target. Larger targets take more time absorbing then normal sized targets. He can also use shadows instead of Heartless, it's an eternal source of darkness, but it gives a lot less darkness then the Heartless, requiring more time. Yami can absorb as he moves around, he doesn't need to stay in one place. He may use the darkness to heal himself, or use it to power up his offense or defense.
Cassandra's Angel:[/color] Yami conjures a dual bladed scythe to fight his enemies. The scythe is actually his two scythe's connected from bottom to bottom.
Azrael's Leap: Yami can teleport short distances. When he vanishes or appears a cloud of darkness is seen.
Magic: N/a.
Crushes: None so far.
