Fuck I never did mention that, did I. LOL.

Okay okay okay so let's go and remedy right quick then! Personally for his voice in rp ends I'm a fan of Kim Myung-jun (KR's) interp the most.

He did a cover of side quest king, so! Use this as an example for the type of flow and energy in his voice.

HC; The Heart: The Force Above All.

What's often a popular question amidst the fanbase is what exactly is the Heart. How is it quantified? Do people genuinely run around with two? I want to make one of my comeback Headcanons/Explanations to be set upon this mythical power that All Life holds within the KH Mythos.

To break this down in the most simplest form. The Heart is a Metaphysical essence of Identity for all living things. It's a conceptual form that exists in from its Higher Dimension from all life. The consciousness, definition, information, each of it takes hold of the original position that the Soul has in most media, it is the Self in the purest form. However, it's greatly more vast than the force that normally holds such contents. For you are your Heart before any semblance of Body and Soul.

Soul within the KH mythos takes the place of Life Energy. That in itself is a power that the Heart naturally exudes, no matter how small it's remnant, long as the key Memories (both from the existence and those that know of them) remain. This normally serves as the buffer for the Non-Existence/Nobody kind as they come to actively regrow a Heart. The Heart's essence is returned is by interaction with the World at large, forging experiences with any bit of creation in the Realm of Light/Darkness/In Between.

There actually do exist to Hearts all people from this series hold. The natural one that helps the organic body function, but also what was explained, this metaphysical essence that normally doesn't get tapped into at all for most. In fact, some people can go across their very lives without any meaningful contact this power, and only find themselves utilizing offshoots of it's potential. Such as Mana, and shadowed variances of Light and Darkness.

What's often utilized in terms of the power structure in this franchise in that second Heart. As it stands, there's truly no limit to what could be accomplished by truly gaining Understanding with it. Understanding in itself doesn't hold to the aspect of Knowledge either, rather its a form of Wisdom that can only be experienced above all else, gradually dwindling down the natural barriers upon such potential.

Each Heart holds as that being's very Kingdom, while all Hearts themselves are Kingdom Hearts. For it is the transcendent power of the Heart itself that allows the totality of everything you'll see a Keyblade do in this series. Those who don't even hold a Heart in the KH mytho's meaning normally can't use a Keyblade at all. (There is mysterious workarounds however, as we'll discover in Yozora's arc.)

Forget the potential of the Collective Unconscious known as Kingdom Hearts, just utilizing the potential of your own can draw upon power that can singlehandedly bring cataclysms to multiple universes. Xehanort, one of the series leading antagonists is a prime example of that.

What serves as the essential lifeblood for all Hearts is the natural phenomenon called Memory for the Heart. Your experiences, the very foundational mold for your constitution, stripping this away (from the Heart, not the mind itself) serves one of the most lethal ways to actively not only tear apart existences within this Mythos. One can also utilize those very memories in their own Heart, actively stealing power from others.

Holding hands · buying flowers (he'd prefer to find them.) · cooking · cuddles · writing a poem / song · holding door open · tying shoe laces · sharing a milkshake with two straws · offering their jacket when it's cold (It's a literal line in dialogue!) · kissing in the rain · publicly confessing love · long walks at the beach · doing the titanic pose on a boat · taking cute pictures in a photo booth · sharing a taxi / uber (Do boats count.) · kissing the back of their hand · slow dancing · getting tickets of their favorite artist / sports team / other · introducing them to their parents!!!

I'm taking a mesh of that and some liberties from Scramble to really get the angle set for him. In short, I wanna get the main part out of the way. Ryuji at this point made good on his word and wound up getting a place of his own in lieu of his goals.

When truly thinking about it when it comes to possibilities, he doesn't intend to take some 2nd place measure in pursuit of his dream.

Thanks to the granted connections made not only through the Phantom Thieves, but making good on getting in contact with his old coach, topped with a bunch of love and support from his ma, the transition actually drives forward right on schedule.

A lot of this time spent with Ryuji having primarily phone/media based contact with his friends outside of a few meet ups. Within this year he wholly dedicates on the task on balancing physical therapy on top of his schooling, beating less around the bush in crappy grades as that fire is properly lit up in his veins again. He's actually out here giving a damn, giving a genuine effort and man does it give results.

Ryuji holds a modest apartment in tandem to picking up a job through said connections (hc for another day), on top of a good amount of savings made from the Phantom Thieving business. The majority he put his use to was to help him through physical rehab payments, schooling and getting a good foot on the ground so to speak. Not to mention getting a move organized for his mother as well, both of them living apart yet not too far from each other.

The decision finally leave that old apartment all the memories, wonderful and horrid was finally solidified after he dropped the news of his plan to her.

Success would be the name of his game as news of not only his return, but the newest strides that easily broke old records would be hitting both the papers and media outlets from the new (unnamed for now) school that partakes in before graduation. His future of entering the sports realm and taking it to the professional level is finally being brought back to light again, edging away from the grim realities Kamo/shida intended to keep him suffocated under. His recovery managed to reach record levels of improvement thanks to his consistent dedication and more solidified balance in his regimen thanks to a lot of added effort with his old coach.

This is where he's primarily centered in my mainstay for Rps (outside of the story adventures at Shujin). I still got some finer details I'ma iron out over the course, but I want to focus on adventures that give him a lot more breathing room in terms of not only what he can do, but also be caught doing, so on and so forth. It's also around this point of time where he also partakes in his adventures in P5 Scramble.

When it comes to Gold’s style of raising his partner Pokemon, a lot of his preferred care settles into balancing their natural needs vs what they’ve come to learn with traveling alongside of him. While the classic Order style is still a popularized method of ensuring his partners execute battle commands, being someone who loves to think outside of the box, he hates eliminating that possibility from them as well.

So often you can catch his Pokemon will react accordingly to the situation of their own accord. From training with each other, executing team tactics, or being their own best judge of a situation while using Gold’s primary tasks as the outlne, not the end all. This in turn, creates a rambunctious group since the shared respect doesn’t equate to being rank and file. However, if Gold makes the request, they’ll still reorganize their ideas to the specific aim.

In terms of their natural raising? A way he comes to train them extends to giving them time in their elemental environments to frolick, hunt or just get a feel of parts of themselves that stills need to be unleashed. So often he’d come to take trips for each Pokemon to get their lay in the sun time in a certain environment or setting, and if it isn’t possible at the time, at the least facilitate a similar looking space for them to get the best type of recharging.

So in his free time when you see him looking at those books with the models in it, sometimes it’s exactly that but in others, he’s looking guides to get a general idea on how to bring about their best flourish.

HC; Elation I

I am Thou.

Who am I?

A soul that found himself reborn under the Spirit Whisper's guidance? A Hero that's revered across the cosmos? A calamity that's one mere moment of chaotic stimulus from enacting supreme detonation, overwriting the current with reality with a new, destructive destiny? I am all yet I am none. Where do you believe that masks stem from? Personification of your qualities? Partly, an ignorant yet self sustained view. Look at the bigger picture.

Just as your eyes have etched countless threads of existence onto everything you cross. Your own agency is a product of your feverish wish AND the trillions of eyes that hone upon you. That think of you, grafting together their imagined perspectives, fickle and capricious, steadfast and true, morbid morose. Think, think of why Imaginary Energy is quintessential to your reality. You're not only your name offered by a parent, a friend, enemies or yourself. Carried within your cosmic make up is higher and unlimited understanding. The essence of Archetypes that are both your embodiments, your strengths, your anchors and chains.

As such allow the Mask to be driven into reality. Your path of desire is destined to clash, flow and weave and annihilate countless others. Each eyes set upon you leaving an impression. Look back upon the titles earned through your voyage.

Lord of Peacekeeping. The Ashen Hero. Gray Mystery. Deliverer from Beyond the Sky. Mister Stellaron. Dux Primarius. The Throne of Worlds.

The Galactic Baseballer.

Nameless.

Small, infinitesimal but incredibly potent drops in your primordial pool. It fashions you beyond instincts, it injects humanity in all of its Virtue and Vice. Gaining much more is inevitable, but don't you see the most important of it all?

Masks aren't connected, they are chosen, worn. Picked from the quintillions of views that draw you as a Paragon of Bright Futures to the most Depraved essence to touch their pages. In some views you're strong and driven through difficulty narratives. In others you're taken as highly vulnerable, used to quell the maddened thirst to countless to see you bend, to break, to become an outlet for their own dark forms of whimsy. To bend to their whims, to not rightfully rebel is to bask in enslavement. You can't stop the visions, but Choice lies forever in your conquering hand.

Take what you will. Crush what you will. Understand that you're the arbiter of this existence, and while the influence of being drawn upon the masses is granted, ultimately for your road, the reality is that you're the wearer of these very Masks. Realize the Higher Will to be seized and what allowed you to brazenly step upon each Path, what allowed the eyes of Aeons to hone upon you, Breaker of the Veil. You are All just as you are Yourself.

To gain the wisdom of your very own primordial spark of Joy, the essence of your true existence is the first step.

As the Boundless and as the Bounded.

HC; A more casual beat involving the Paths.

Not everything set within his life is concentrated in the essence and flow of combat. That by itself would be boring, so would the idea of power if it he didn't find a means to set it in the everyday. So! How about a breakdown of his more creative uses?

Preservation:

This is what he loves to deem as his 'Hazard suit' ability for himself and others, outside of the Trailblaze's blessings. Unnatural, dangerous terrain that has a 1000 different ways to tear a human body apart is the norm. Caelus has perfected his shield capabilities to a more 'form fitting' brand of force field, similar to a second layer of skin.

Poisonous swamps? No issues and no clothes dirtied. Terrain that has serrated cliffs? His hands can grasp upon dangerous edges would any bodily harm (depending on the intensity). He's also come to discover the Preservation's nature is also good for internal climate control, ensuring his body has a robust barrier that keeps his normalized temperature as the priority.

The flames of the lance can also be controlled. A low simmer? Sure. A blast furnace? Easily possible. Oftentimes compared to a normal campfire, he'd allow Qlipoth's blessing to serve as 'campfire' in this case. Practice with playing around with Belobog's geomarrow heaters taught him a lot about balance.

Harmony:

A lot of abilities in this realm is inspired by the constant examples of Sunday and Robin's examples of tuning. After getting a good grasp of Legwork's legacy of Clockwork, outside of the dreamscape Caelus has altered the premise to make it a unique type of sensory 'organ' for himself. Actively being able to perceive the intent or emotional wavelength of others, to get enough to discern the remote emotion, and at a more advanced way briefly pick up on hints of their thoughts.

Caelus loves using this the most to open a communicative channel with animals. Learning if the mood is good or sour, working to cheer them up or taking some time out the day to play, a lot of the animals upon Belobog's streets, and Peppy in particular at the space station adore having actual conversations.

Rather than a literal language, it'd be tethered down to an emotional 'communication', as if the language of the heart is being spoken instead.

Harmony's nature of One-ness also expands into movement for Caelus as well. He best showcases his version of it through dance, holding a natural affinity for quickly picking up these matters. It's highly versatile, and oftentimes opening the door to a high level physical/spiritual synch with others.

Have a bit of a visual on that front.

Remembrance:

Now this Path opened a particular level of novelty. Memory doesn't play as free form instances that needs to be retained no longer. Rather, it becomes crystalized, it's countless fragmented shards that play as real time books in his mind. His means of becoming a pathstrider of Remembrance was entirely unorthodox by keeping the mortal coil while still dipping into it's boons

Caelus can actively open these chapters, As I've Written being an excellent teacher despite his high duty to maintain it's thriving upkeep. In fact, there's hidden measures that can be delved into, but the way these lost memories manifest and reshape into appropriate knowledge is through 'Non-existent molding.' It'll take from many chapters of his life, suturing them together similar to how the recovered memories with the Stellaron Hunters ignited into being.

Here's a gist Caelus' memory sanctum looks like when he's flowing through it.

Now! An Amphoreus specialty that's been maintained outside of the nature of Worldbearing, is a more distinct mastery over the Time Titan Oronyx's powers. His played into the realm of freezing time entirely to rewinding it to varying degrees. This has made him happily excited to dabble into experimentation.

Caelus had actually decided to take up cooking after getting a more stable hand of his rewind abilities. The advantage of being able to just 'erase' his mistakes by dialing them back, learning through either burning his meals or over/under seasoning them ensures that not an ingredient becomes wasted. That said, this is only if he's doing it alone, having others join him in this would mean rewinding them too, which is a different level of exertion when it comes to beings/objects with souls.

Matters akin to dropped drinks or just about anything? Freeze in memory and reverse. It can be paused and swept right back up, adding to his tidy points.

Elation:

The newest Path as it stands is heavily underexplored for the time being. Instead this will be a growing list of what he's come to learn as this path heavily emphasizes the natural of clarity.

As it stands, the biggest advantage Caelus gained through Elation is emotional regulation. Being able to perceive them at a deeper scale, and as such, heavily enriching his utilize of Path based powers in general. It's also a manner of exerting his control upon them when required, allowing a level mind to become the central hub, while various emotional ranges if required for Path utilization are now switches that can be flicked.

It allows a singular flow of say one or two to be pulled from the natural human torrent of emotion, or if need be to stall his mind in silence in order to contemplate.

Elation in another vein also opens that eye to the 'uncanny valley' of both reality and Path Space. Caelus has come to discover that Elation based pathstriders have a more open affinity with that realm, and often able to make real space abide by path space rules, which ultimately they decide with how much they can operate on that function. Letting buildings unrealistically bend like trampolines? Possible. Opening up a section of 'daytime' sky and allowing a shade of 'night' to peek through? Absolutely.
