Original profile: Somebody
Allow me to make a brief explanation. Upon joining this forum I completed my character's profile because I wanted to get in to the party threads before the plot revelations were over. However, I was still thinking about my character's future at the time and deciding how I would develop it using the shop features, etc. Now, when my final goals for the character in my mind were finally solidified I realized that it's profile was now lacking in proper details in many parts. That, however, wasn't the real problem. The biggest problem I discovered is in what I've been role playing. I realized that I've been playing a Heartless as if I were the only one playing that race. I've been portraying their instincts and senses in the ways I thought they are without actually getting those details approved for use. So, to make up for my mistake, I'm here using the save point to resubmit my character's profile in it's proper form. Sorry for this inconvenience.

General Character Information
--------------------------------------
Character Name: Somebody
Character Age: 0
Character Gender: N/A
Character Race: Heartless
Character Position: Evil
Character Personality: Somebody's former personality is completely repressed by it's lack of a heart. What it does have now is manifested into something of a curious nature that is always seeking answers to questions it doesn't understand, which is many things.
Unlike most Heartless, Somebody is capable of questioning whether it wants to seek out hearts or try to destroy the Key Bearers. Eventually, however, the eternal struggle will force it to find a victim and plunge their heart into complete darkness. Somebody's only driving goal beyond it's Heartless instincts is to find out what it used to be.
The Heartless side of Somebody is simple. It can not take the light and so follows darkness. It is also instinctively drawn to the darkness in people's hearts, which it preys on in order to turn them in to Heartless as well. Somebody's weak personality can take dominance over these instincts while they are dampened by it's special ability.
Character's Appearance: A human male of six feet tall with narrow shoulders and a fairly athletic body. Somebody's hair is black and short, but completely messed up as if it just spent a whole day in bed and hasn't combed yet. The only feature that truly gives it away as anything but a human being are his eyes, which are empty pools of eerie yellow, and the emblem of the Heartless clearly emblazoned over it's chest.
Somebody is clothed in a pair of ordinary black pants and a cape-like cloak draped over his shoulders. The cloak is tied at his neck, revealing that he wears no shirt underneath by the opening where the two ends meet at his front. It doesn't always wear the cloak, though. It may remove it in times of physical combat or for other possible reasons.
The nameless Heartless has two possible forms of appearance depending on whether it's Heartless Seal ability is active or not.
While the seal is in effect it appears to be a human male of six feet tall with narrow shoulders and a fairly athletic body. It's hair is black and short, but completely messed up as if it just spent a whole day in bed and hasn't combed yet. The only feature that truly gives it away as anything but a human being are his eyes, which are empty pools of eerie yellow. This false human form is clothed in a pair of ordinary black pants and a cape-like cloak draped over his shoulders. The cloak is tied at his neck, revealing that he wears no shirt underneath by the opening where the two ends meet at his front.
When the seal is released the heartless' true form emerges. It's frame retains the basic shape of a human being, but it's appearance is clearly inhuman. The human clothes disappear and the Heartless' body turns pitch black all across. The only exception to this colouring is the red lines that make up the design of the Heartless Emblem on it's chest. It's fingers and toes end in sharp points and where human hair would normally rest is a nest of small spikes with a vague resemblance to the former. The Heartless' face retains the profile of a man's but has no ears, nostrils or mouth. The only actual feature the face has are it's haunting yellow eyes.

Battle Information
--------------------------------------
Weapon Name: N/A
Weapon Appearance: The Heartless makes use of swords as it's weaponry. After awakening certain dormant abilities it has gained the ability to summon a second sword, allowing it to wield two at once when desired.
The weapon design makes them look more like a tall, sharply edged triangles with hilts than they do swords. They have absolutely no decoration or design imprinted upon them, and are coloured pitch black all around. The swords are about one hundred and thirty centimeters each in total length, with thirty centimeter handles and meter-long blades.
The material that makes up the weapons is actually pure darkness, tightly concentrated into a dense physical form. Because of it's density the weapons are heavier than an average sword their size and can only be wielded properly because of Somebody's Heartless strength being greater than an ordinary human's. The swords can be formed or dispelled at any time by Somebody's will, like many dark weapons.
Abilities:
Heartless Seal
The creature's true form as a Heartless is considerably stronger and faster than the average human being, as well as having access to a few special powers. Unlike other Heartless, however, this one has a special ability that exists as a by-product of it's accidental existence. It has the power to dispel all of it's dark powers, draining it of all enhanced abilities that go beyond an ordinary mortal man. In doing so it's form changes from that of a pitch-black monster and it gains the appearance of a human being instead. Only it's yellow eyes remain as a physical clue to it's true nature.
Besides those eyes the Heartless becomes indistinguishable from a human being, and it's lack of a heart makes it almost identical to a Nobody. Only those with an especially keen sense for the type of darkness that Heartless are made of would be able to detect it's powers while in this form.
In addition to losing all of it's Heartless powers and weapons the creature also severely dampens it's natural instincts. This allows it's thoughts to play a stronger role over what actions it takes and makes it able to operate on a slightly higher level in the struggle between good and evil than others of it's kind. Obviously this power is not an ability for battle, but rather it is the exact opposite and allows the Heartless to exist amongst people with hearts for extended periods of time.
Summon Swords
After the appearance of it's second sword the Heartless eventually realized that it was capable of forging them out of darkness at it's will. Summon Swords can create swords of highly concentrated and diamond-hard darkness around the Heartless' body. These can be formed directly into it's hands or simply formed in mid-air and then fired in whatever direction they are facing as a projectile. Swords that are sent away from the Heartless itself dissipate back into darkness after a short time. The number of swords summoned in one turn divided by two and rounded down is the cool-down period.
Dark Breath
Somebody can breathe out black gas that lingers in the air for a few moments. At any time before it completely dissipates, however, the gas can be detonated by Somebody's will. it will also automatically detonate if physically ignited or disturbed by special powers such as magic. The strength of the explosions is similar to that of a series of Firaga spells. Somebody is not immune to the effects of the blasts. Somebody's maximum range with Dark Breath reached out about four meters in length for initial momentum, but the gas itself can then billow forward at a slower pace on it's own before vanishing.
Additional Abilities:
The Power of Stars
This ability allows the Heartless to cast Gravity magic. Upon casting, a sphere of black sparking with various energies will surround the target, and a wide area wound them. When the sphere is fully formed gravity within the area of it's influence experiences a vast increase, generally crushing anyone or anything within it in to the ground. If the target of the spell is so close that the caster itself is within the sphere of influence, the caster remains immune to the effects of their own magic.
This spell is most effective on opponents that can fly, for forcing them to the earth, or targets with either heavy armour or large amounts of body mass. The spell turns their own weight against them, increasing it's effectiveness. Of course, almost anyone caught by the spell would be temporarily pinned to the earth for at least two seconds by it's effects regardless of their starting weight.
Because of the time it takes for the sphere of Gravity's influence to form, escaping this spell is not too difficult as long as it is cast when the target is already moving. If the target is stationary they will need the ability to react very quickly in order to get outside of the danger zone.
Because Gravity spells are cast by magical power and do not use the powers of darkness, the Heartless is capable of casting it even while using it's Heartless Seal ability. This offers it a chance of protection even while caught in that state, which was the reason it learned this spell. It currently has sufficient power to cast Gravity spells only three times before drained of it's magic, and each casting has a cool-down afterwards of 4 turns before it can be used again.
Steel Skin
This ability brings out the true form of the Heartless and is automatically activated whenever it's Heartless Seal ability is not in effect. The darkness that makes up the Heartless' body shifts it's density to the outermost layer and also begins absorbing ambient darkness energy from the environment to supplement it's change. As a result the entire surface area of the creature takes on a high level of physical density to match what was formerly only in it's emblem or the blades it could summon.
Needless to say this ability increases the Heartless' physical defences substantially, but not in any way too different than wearing a suit of armour would. The high level of solid darkness that now comprises it's skin can easily prevent instant death from attacks that would have otherwise skewered or decapitated it. It is still vulnerable to harm from powerful magic and even simply from the force of strong physical blows vibrating down through to it's core. Just as wearing a suit of actual diamond armour would not make one invulnerable to damage neither does this ability, though it does have the benefit of being relatively seamless. Steel Skin also has the side-effect of sharpening the tips of the creature's fingers and toes, as well as making it's hair akin to a nest of metallic thorns.
The darkness of this protective layer possesses the ability to alter it's density at specific areas from high to low and back again quickly as needed, specifically the joints. This prevents the ability from causing the Heartless to be unable to move. It also allows it to speak and use it's Dark Breath ability by altering the density of it's mouth area to allow sound or gas to pass through. This also means that joints in use are slightly more vulnerable than stationary ones.

Character History
--------------------------------------
Somebody came into existence when a world was attacked by the Heartless some time ago. one man in particular had been attacked by a Shadow and robbed of his heart, not too long before the world itself was lost to the darkness along with most of it's inhabitants. While many people were turned in to Heartless and awoke to their new existences at the End of the World that day, this particular specimen was different from the rest.
This Heartless was self-aware.
It knew that it hadn't always been a Heartless. It just didn't know what it was before that. In fact, it didn't know much of anything. Just that... it wasn't always like this. True it had been proven in the past that some extreme few people may retain their memories after becoming a Heartless, but this was some sort of half-way cosmic mistake. In addition, as if a result of this awareness, even the creature's body still bore a near-perfect resemblance to it's original shape in terms of humankind. The appearance it now had however, despite it also being proven in the past that some individuals may retain their exact physical appearance even after losing their hearts, was far different than the face and body it once had as a man.
If the being could retrieve it's memories it would only discover that it was once an ordinary forty-one year-old man who lived life as a farmer. He had friends, a wife, two sons... nothing extraordinary or special. Just a man with a strong and satisfied heart who somehow left a lingering presence of it within the now empty darkness. not enough for his now Heartless self to have memories of the past life or even to be as intelligent as a grown man. It was just enough of an impression to awaken the new being's mind to free thought and condemn it to a pointless quest of searching for it's former self. So, without any other known purpose for these thoughts which it knew it shouldn't have in the first place, the Heartless decided to do just that and started out on it's journey across worlds. It sought not only the secret to it's past life, but even without knowing it the creature also sought for a purpose this ability to think could be used for. One that it, as a Heartless, would have an actual interest in.

Mind Capacity
Mind Capacity
Heartless weren't meant to have the gift of free thought, and this freak of darkness still has trouble thinking at the same level as ordinary sentient beings. It has the ability to understand languages and speak for itself, but tends to have the vocabulary of a young child unless it speaks at a slower pace in order to think more about what words to use. The more words it has to think of to speak with the longer it takes the Heartless to finish a sentence.
Obviously, without a heart the creature has no emotions to affect it's thoughts. Unlike sentient Nobodies, however, it also has no memories of personality to affect it's thoughts either. This leaves the Heartless in a strange state of mind where instinct is the key factor that tries to influence it's ideas beyond whatever logic it is capable of.
In combat the Heartless' survival instinct seems to release a hidden potential within it's own mind, allowing it to fight more intelligently when it's life is in danger. This can be an advantageous element of surprise, but only by luck as it has no means of manipulating this by it's own will. The Heartless' only other combat advantages that comes from this cosmic mistake is it's ability to learn. It is not set to the limited attacking patterns that it knows by instinct based on it's form, but can adjust and gain new techniques as any thinking being can. Though it has a relatively poor memory new fighting tactics can be imprinted on to it's Heartless instincts, allowing it to grow in skill.
Heartless Senses
Somebody's yellow eyes are not different from a human's just because of their colour. Through them it sees the world the way the Heartless do. It's sight is based on defining the differences it can see between darkness and light, viewing all of existence as masses of shadow.
To the eyes of the Heartless hearts appear as lights, shining brighter the more light held within them. Hearts are naturally attractive to the Heartless' instincts, but light causes them great discomfort when viewed upon.
To the Heartless darkness has a scent that becomes more potent the stronger that darkness is. The darkness in hearts has a powerful effect on the Heartless because of that, drawing them in where they prey upon the heart and create another of their kind. Those who know how to control the darkness in their hearts rather than the other away around therefore have the ability to control the Heartless themselves by taking advantage of this instinctive attraction. Such an act is dangerous though, as one slip of control and the darkness will invite the Heartless in to do as they do.
Somebody also has this instinct to be drawn to dark hearts, but because of it's ability to think it has become far more resistant to control than other Heartless. When it's instincts are dampened by it's sealing ability this resistance is even stronger, making it almost impossible to fully control through this means alone.
Allow me to make a brief explanation. Upon joining this forum I completed my character's profile because I wanted to get in to the party threads before the plot revelations were over. However, I was still thinking about my character's future at the time and deciding how I would develop it using the shop features, etc. Now, when my final goals for the character in my mind were finally solidified I realized that it's profile was now lacking in proper details in many parts.
