Physical appearance and Clothing/Accessories ~ :
Being a tall, lanky male, Axel is rather thin, but muscled nonetheless. Beneath a long, hooded black cloak with a silver zip up the front, the article of clothing is tight about his torso, betraying his strength. It then flares out from his hips to flutter about his legs when moving. Because of the double zipper, the torso remains tightly closed while from the bottom to his hips is left unzipped.
Underneath the mysterious cloak lies similar colored clothing. A tight black tank, paired with fitted leather pants that tuck into knee-high black boots lay obscured underneath. along with black gloves, when Axel's hood is up, his entire figure is but a mere dark shadow.
With hood down, however, the picture is much brighter. Fiery spikes of hair protrude from the young man's skull, back away from his face in crazy directions. His flash is a creamy peach tone, proving his healthy condition. In contrast to his hair are his bright green eyes, framed by black lashes and below unique red eyebrows. Two red teardrop-esque markings are below his eyes, resting on his cheeks.

Axel Clicky!

~Personality~

As you're walking through the door, you see many sights that influence your mood. The different feelings that suddenly wash over you are many, leaving you with a strange mix of emotions.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Alignment ~ : Questionably Villainous...

Behavior ~ : Axel is quite the fiery nobody. It has been debated if nobodies have actually personalties at all since they lack a heart, but regardless of the answer, Axel is probably the one that tips the scales. In some cases it seems he really does have emotions. Whatever it is, it has allowed him to become unusually close friends with a fellow member of Organization XIII. A bond was formed, and that bond is a big part of Axel's "life", as well as a part of his personality.
Axel is quite unruly, known to Organization XIII as a traitor and backstabber. The red head was the one often most responsible for squabbles in the org. He didn't like taking orders, especially ones he didn't agree with, and enjoyed nothing more than to play pranks on the other members or argue to get out of missions he didn't want to do. He loves a good fight, and he's very loud by nature. Confident and headstrong nearly to the point of cockiness, Axel's stride is even, even when in slight doubt. He imitates emotions from his memories very well, and sometimes they seem to be genuine, which is assumed impossible. Axel is hardly ever without a teasing or cynical grin, a sarcastic word, wild hand gestures, or a devious glimmer in his eyes. At times he plays the part of a comedian.

~Weapons~

Suddenly, a Heartless appears in front of you, brandishing its claws and threatening to attack. You reach for your weapon and equip it, ready to defend yourself.

[/i][/b]

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Weapon Name: Hell Wheels

Weapon Description: Chakrams of unidentified white/silver material with red lining always facing inward at the center of the weapon in question. The round main body of the chakrams is less than a foot in radius from the center and bear smaller circles stuck half way in and out of itself at the four compass points. Inside the bodies these four smaller circles are connected by two x-forming shafts that serve as the handle of the weapons with black padding around the interlocking part. On the outer rim of the chakrams are eight razor-edged white/silver spikes, one on the top of each smaller circle and one on the larger circle for every point between the other four.

Unique Notes: The Hell Wheels can spin dangerously fast like saws when thrown by Axel and will almost always return to his grasp no matter what they might unexpectedly slam against during flight, even if they hit nothing and have to stop in mid-air then fly back the way they came like an enhanced boomerang. Axel creates these weapons from his own power when he wishes to use them and thus they can also be dispelled and then created again if necessary. Axel is actually capable of creating up to four chakrams at a time and wields them all at once through a series of throws and rebounds that keeps them constantly in motion around him

AP: 10
Flare Storm
Axel's primary combat ability, the Nobody has the power to ignite magical flames on and around his chakrams. These flames can be kept tight for discretion's sake or go as far as large fireballs spinning around with them as they are thrown and flaring out a couple of meters.
Strength: Strong
Uses: Flare Storm can act as a propelling force for the weapons while thrown, increasing their speed and movements like rocket boosters, or an immobilizing one by flaring out form all sides at once. He can use this as much as he wants.

Eruption
Axel summons pillars of orange-yellow flame up from the ground, either extremely thin like ropes or as wide as a meter across and reaching as high as two stories up. The Flurry of Dancing Flames can normally only conjure up Eruptions around himself and not at range but he can set them off at a distance by throwing his chakrams and using them as an extension of himself. Because he can not be harmed by the fire Axel can "ride" Eruptions from their force, launching himself high. The same trick can be used to shoot forward in a rocket burst by erupting pillars below his body and off-center towards the opposite of the direction he wants to move in. This lets the force push him forward while trialing off a series of rapidly-spawning Eruptions so close together they look like a single wall of flame left in his wake.
Strength: Weak
Uses: He can only currently use his pillars to rush him forward 6 feet or so at this time, erupting him forward quickly. They are not yet strong enough to propel him into the air. He can only use this once every six posts, and only twice a thread.

Burning Land
Axel creates a flame that flies into the ground right in front of himself and sets off a startling transformation. The very surface of the floor beneath his feet is morphed into an expanding patch of molten rock, lit up with thin streaks of liquid magma and releasing strong heat into the air above. Fighting on this floor is constantly damaging to anybody who walks on it through burns and the high temperature is also impeding to those without a resistance to it.
Strength: Weak
Uses: The circular patch can expand up to 12 feet across at this time and its boundary is marked by 8 foot high walls of intense flame so forceful that they might as well be solid matter, though Axel himself is capable of passing into them. Burning Land lasts for 4 rounds right now before the effects dissipate due to exhaustion, but it can also be willingly dispelled by Axel or forcibly ended by causing Axel major damage. Can only be used once per thread.

~History~

As you slay the last of the beasts, you put your weapon aside, and walk away, knowing your tale of bravery will be told for thousands of years to come.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Axel's history before the organization is unclear. He first turned up to join the group of nobodies because of his desire for a heart, which was the overall goal to be accomplished. Axel was Organization XIII's number VIII, known as The Flurry of Dancing Flames. While in the Organization, he made friends with the last member of the group, forming a highly unlikely bond with him. This kid seemed to have real feelings, and definitely was not as boring or stuck up as the other members.

Many events took place over the course of their friendship and in the end Roxas became dicontent and bent on leaving the Organization. Soon, however, a plot was hatched by an enemy force that snatched Roxas away, and thus Axel's mission began to find and bring him back to the organization, or kill him. Of course Axel wasn't able to kill his best friend even when that best friend had forgotten him. He just tried to keeps Roxas from meeting Sora, so Roxas wouldn't disappear for forever. This ultimately failed, so Axel was left to subtly help Sora. If Sora died, so would Roxas. It came down to Axel committing a suicidal attack to save Sora from a hoard of heartless, helping Sora onward but ceasing his own existence.

After a long while of non-existence, Axel has found himself alive again quite suddenly along with the rest of the organization. Sure, he's a bit bewildered and wants to know why, but at the same time he feels like it's best to shrug it off and return to the rest of them as usual. It just means he has another shot at a heart...if they'll trust him again. Hmm..trust.
