Heart. How that word mocked him. Hours and hours of research...for what? Not even Ansem the Wise had discerned the depths of the heart's secrets...much less how to retrieve one from the darkness it had fallen to. Every day, in this study, he poured away in countless books. With Vexan he engaged in countless experiments on heartless and dusks alike, to no avail. The secret seemed beyond them. This "Organization" had yet to make true progress. It seemed the best chance Zexion had was no chance at all.

True, he had power, now. His illusions gave him supreme strength. However, it was...empty. An empty existence without true feelings. All he had were memories...And memories can fade, as he knew all too well. His cure was still out there. And he had to find it quickly, otherwise complete emptyness awaited him. An emptyness he knew he must avoid, for to become a mere shell was worse then death. No amount of power was worth such a cold fate.

All seemed for naught. In time he very well may end up existing only to do Xemnas' bidding. For now, recruiting new members of the Organization was the top priority. They now numbered ten, including himself. Such a fragile alliance, and yet in their suspicious they were forced to realize that they were the only ones each other could trust. He himself had faith in Lexaeus to be on his side should the split come. Xaldin and Xigbar, however, may very well stay by Xemnas' side, though he was unsure of their motives.

Axel, however...Who knew what that one was thinking? Should it come to betrayal, Axel's role would be interesting no matter his side. Zexion was certain it would come to conflict eventually. The Superior's power kept them in his service, but that would last only so long with new members flocking in.

...At the moment, the theory was moot, though. Snapping shut the tome he had been pouring over, the Shadow Walking Schemer stood. Doubtless he would be summoned for his next task soon enough. Into another futile scheme to discover the secret of obtaining what they had lost. Research was where the truth lay, not in taking hearts from others...How often he had tried to explain this to Xemnas, with no success...

Still, research could only take him so far. Some schemes required you to experience them yourself, to see it happen personally. Field work had it's benefits, small as they may be. With that, Zexion promptly opened a portal to darkness, stepping through gracefully into the swirling black abyss. As it closed behind, the dust settled, and he was gone into darkness.

Eh...this post sounds like something a person who wants to represent Zexion would post, but it doesn't really show any of Zexion's actions. It more shows a narration of Zexion's opinions in third person.

I'm going to have to deny this, but it can still be over-ridden by Tempest and Zero.

However, I would suggest trying to make a new Zexion post where he's doing research on something in the field. That's just my opinion, but if worst comes to worst, I'd try suggesting it.

Eh, I'm gonna have to deny this as well. My reason why is pretty close to Simba's. The post just doesn't seem to have a goal to it, something that it climaxes to for the character to achieve.

[Konaa]

Ah. Is it okay if I try again? I had some bad feelings about that post in the first place...

[Zero [Axel]]

Yeah, go for it.
