KHOC Week 2020 Day 7: Resolution and Gratitude @khoc-week While this is just a sketch of Faine and the rest of the KHUX cast that he’ll eventually befriend along the way. I would like to just thank the mods for putting up a week dedicated to showing our appreciation of KH and the creations of many fans by showcasing their OC’s to other fellow friends and those interested.To be frank, I was not into the concept of OC’s or making OC’s in general. Over time, with the inspiration and motivation from friends, I can at least understand why do people make OC’s for the series they like, with KH being one of them. That proud feeling of making a character (whether separate or self-insert) as well having them involved in the series does help bring out creativity and expand things that suit to our liking. In short, its fun!I wouldn’t be able to make my own OC, Faine, if it weren’t for me being both inspired and motivated from my friends to create one. For those of my friends reading this, Thank you so much for being very supportive and kind, whether on making and sharing OC’s or friendship in general. I look forward to see more of your OC’s as well as their stories that shaped them. I’m also glad for the positive reception on Faine too! Still, I’ll continue to help him be a proper character and I’ll support the works of others too. Thank you once again to the KH OC Mods and fellow friends. 

Ephemer E- “So I may I found something interesting for our search this time around” F-”Oh? What would that be?” E-”Just around that tower over there. I feel like we’re getting close, what do you say?” ??? / The Enigmatic Hooded man ???- “Ya know, this may seem like a bit of a stretch but have you ever had the               idea that you, Yourself, were never supposed to exist?” F-”...Wait What!? What do you mean? Your not making sense!” ??? - “Eh, It was worth trying and I get that alot too” Despite Faine’s distrust to strangers, he did eventually find friends along his missions, mostly through random encounters. While he did eventually have friends, he found two people that he trusted the most and one person he met that makes him extremely suspicious to the figure. Strelitzia When they first met, he found her as a bit of a weirdo that likes to stare at things since their first meeting had them enter an unintentional staring contest, with Faine at the fountain and her at the rooftops, which she hightailed out after her realization and made him utterly confused. But they had a proper interaction later the following day where she repeatedly apologized to him while Faine had to calm her down. After a short chat, they eventually sought to help each other, with Faine helping her improve in combat while Strell takes in charge on handling magic. However over time, the two had suddenly felt strange with each other but in a good way. Perhaps it may grow deeper as well...despite what's known to happen later. Ephemer Faine found him while exploring Daybreak Town when he saw him getting ganged up from an Invisible. After saving him,via support, Faine was surprised that Ephemer was aware of the rumors of the event that involved himself and his former party. Despite the bad info, he paid no attention to the rumor and saw Faine for what he is now. While he himself is cautious of Ephemer for a bit, he was deeply grateful that his perception wasn’t based off the rumor. Overtime, Faine and Ephemer became best buddies and detective-ish partners as they were aware of the fishy nature of Daybreak Town. With two of Faine’s two trusted friends mentioned, I also like to show off on Faine’s rare yet recurring visitor at odd times during his exploration. ??? Though he had trouble remembering where he did meet this fellow. He find him alot of things, all of them weird. Faine finds him as a peculiar guy, one that doesn't seem to take things seriously but when he does, it sends him with a terrifying aura and fear as he remains in silence. Fortunately, it was mostly weird and bizarre interactions from the hooded man that makes no sense at times. Like telling him, that “his story is slightly different to the main one and his is just one of the many that people made”and unfortunately the man does not give him any context to what they are but it does send him chills when what the man says some events and that it actually happened. Phew! While I have many to share, this is what I have for the time being. Thank you for your time on reading about Faine!

KHOC Week 2020 Day 5: Worst Experience  @khoc-week If there’s anything worse than his encounter from his last party, its the Keyblade War… A Memory that would remain buried deep until the day it resurfaces again. Though Faine wore Keyblade Armor to protect himself from harm. The fact that he’s about to face other Keyblade wielders that could potentially be also his friends just make him sick to the stomach. Even when the bell rung, even with the rest of the people under the unions prepped for War, even when all unions spread out to fight each other. Faine didn’t want to fight. At most, he’ll try to find his friends and bring them to safe area, regardless of their affiliation of their Union. They were brought together to fight for light, not against each other…well….it doesn’t seem to matter at that time. The time when Faine fought Aced, the Foreteller of Ursus , was due to him defeating one of his friends. Out of Instinct, he dove in to save his friend from safety and engaged in Aced in combat via challenge from the leader himself. Without knowing that the friend he saved is running short of time due to the quick declaration and attacks from Aced… The fight cost him most of his armor damaged and his helmet broken into half from Aced’s powerful attacks. Other than Faine encountering other Foretellers, the rest felt like a blur, in which whenever he encounters other wielders that targeted him, he quickly knocks them out but also sparring their lives as he personally felt the whole thing pointless. When there were only few left in the fields of the war…with a number of Keyblades stuck to the ground, dull in color and devoid of will. He considers himself surprised he’s still standing and despite losing some along the way, he only wished for his friends to be safe. With heavy injuries, He felt himself losing balance as his legs give way. His Chirithy, with his Scarf wrapped arounf his neck, comforted him closely saying “ Faine…Hang in there buddy, you can’t give up now…” Chirithy coarsely said as his paw touched his friends now broken shoulder pad. Faine smiled his friend from his concerned. “Heh…It’s ok, I-I still got it” Despite all pain he felt in his body, he weakly gave him a smile knowing that he’ll be alright. Regardless, he slowly fell to the ground as he,now in sleep, and his Chirithy wait for help. Knowing the events of KHUX, the Keyblade War is one of the games darkest moments and its sad how it got out of hand, especially when watching Back Cover to understand the view of the Foretellers that resulted in a number of keyblade wielders dragged into a seemingly hopeless conflict.

KHOC Week 2020 Day 4: Blurred Remembrance  @khoc-week When Faine entered Daybreak Town, the clothes he wore were not his own  (No, he did not drop there bare). However, the one that did stayed with him was a dark colored Scarf with a blue plaid design at a decent length. He generally wraps the scarf around his neck and have a single strap flow from behind. The scarf acts as a makeshift hood as well and he puts it up whether the weather is harsh like Rain or Snow and when he engages in combat. The scarf isn’t a plain one either as Faine himself noticed that it give off magical properties, though he’s not exactly sure what it can do yet. There times that it did save him from tough situations, such as giving him a boost and strengthened will to fight back before collapse. Even without him knowing prior, he wears it at all times. He’s not sure himself but wearing it makes him feel safe and comfortable. Rarely he takes it off and he only does that towards close friends. There were times that Faine dreamt of a kid version of himself being touched and comforted with a woman’s calming voice…it made him fee like its something he missed dearly. One of these days, he’ll find a way to know of his past before he entered to Daybreak Town as he barely has any recollection of his past. The thought came into mind when I noticed that all the Keyblade Wielders from KHUX are summoned to Daybreak Town but I also wondered what were the past lives of the Keykids before moving in. I find it odd that the characters barely made mention of what they were before so I would like to explore that through Faine as well. 

Napping/Sleeping: After a whole day of work and exhaustion from the usual Heartless gig, he honestly would rather sleep in peace. Though Faine prefers to nap on bed, he can pretty much sleep anywhere as long as he doesn't sense any danger or at least in a place where there isn't much noise, otherwise he'd wake up in a groogy state.

Aero Thunder Pulse Thrust                                                                                   - A small concentrated pulse blast of Aero and Thunder to a single target. It can emitted from Faine’s hand or Keyblade. It can be done through contact or emission. Consumes a small to mid amount of MP. Aero Thunder Seeker Mine                                                                                  - A Mine that takes into a form of a small swirling pale green cloud and can be attached to flat or rough surfaces. Upon enemy contact, The cloud forms into a small rapid tornado, following up a pillar of lightning that has chance to cause temporary electrical paralysis. It can be a single or it can be multiple mines. Depending on the number and intensity, MP cost can be ranged from small to large usage.  Tempest Mark - Faine’s signature move, a Zantetsuken imbued with the mixture of Aero and Thunder. A powerful thrust attack that sends a Powerful gust of Wind and a barrage of Thunder at the target and spreads out in V-shaped manner. Faine only uses this move against Strong enemies. Large MP cost and can cause exhaustion to the caster when overused.  Out of all of his creative and unique use of Magic, Especially with Aero and Thunder, he has one that he uses in his spare time. Tiny Storms - A simple mix of Aero and Thunder condensed together forming into a harmless tornado with faint lightning. He rarely shows it however, if someone is close enough to Faine, he will proudly show this to his friends. Although he can be a bit mischievous, especially towards bullies or anyone threatening his friends or innocents. It can act as a surprise attack and convert itself into a Pulse Thrust, as a form of payback. Due to this ease of control with this quirk, MP cost usage is at a bare minimum as he can shape it with ease with little worry. While these are what I have in mind for him now, He will surely develop more in the future as his story progress. I’m glad to share it!
