Appearance:

Physical Features:
^Height

[/sup] 5'5" (World average)
^Weight[/sup] 128 lbs
^Hair[/sup] Gray. Not even sparkly shiny silver; no, just gray. A dull shade of color. Unkept, trashy and spiky hair that covers the ears completely.

^Build[/sup] A small and slender frame. A body that is rather flexible, as evident in most of Elvis's movements and actions. Built for agility, not endurance. Completely white, though; as if the sunlight had never ever touched his skin, and the genes the original was born with held no effect.

Facial Features:
^Eyes[/sup] Notable for their golden color. An absent gaze is often present in them.

Clothing:
Dion the Nobody dresses in a loose, red tank top, with brown, baggy pants that contain quite a few pockets. Attached to the tank top, or rather sewn into it are two red sashes, or scarf-like things. They reach to the ground, and for some inexplicable reason seem to move as he does, and never compromise his ability to move about. The cuffs of the pants are rolled up twice, presumably because they were just too long! Wears black sports shoes, too. None of the colors of his clothing are sparkly and bright, rather they are all faded. There's no imprints on any of them, either.

Miscellaneous Items/Articles:

Personality:

Resolve: To find a resolve. Struck without the sense of having a heart, the Nobody has, instead, aimed its pursuit of... Of something. He's not sure yet what he's looking for. Adrift with no goal in his heart.

Fears: Huh, fear. Yeah, what was it like, again? ... If there was a fear, Dion's fear is that he's become totally apathetic, even though he doesn't realize he isn't who he thinks he is. He is, after all...

Hopes: That he's dreaming. That he's mentally ill, or something, and that nothing ever happened and he's still happily alive with his master.

Hobbies: Hasn't had the will to re-discover pastimes.

Public Personality/Private Personality:
A mere shadow of his former self, the Nobody that fashions himself as Dion is nothing alike the Somebody that spawned it. A miserable pile of insecurity, an apathetic being that keeps questioning its own sense of existence. In disappointed surrender, it even refers to itself as "nobody" when requested his name. A maelstrom of mixed feelings, and constant questioning of his own behaviour.
Bereft of feelings, and with a strong remembrance of what he used to be like, Dion is detached from reality itself. He thinks he's somehow dreaming, or knocked his head or something - As a result, his conscience is nigh entirely gone. Viewing things as if they happen to someone else, and he's just a spectator to the further life of this worthless person.

Class: Defender

Weapons:

Weapon Name: First Promise

Weapon Description: A set of two kunai that glisten with the power of darkness. They can re-appear in the Nobody's hands at will, and cannot be broken.

Unique Notes: For what it's worth, the kunai deal dark-type damage.

Abilities:

Base Ability: Darkness; the forces that be in the Realm of Darkness. An abyssmal vortex of despair.

Sub Abilities:
Tornado Cry: Summons the forces of darkness in a spiralling vortex of destruction. A tornado wind of darkness is summoned around the user, who emits a feral cry according to usage. The tornado draws in nearby objects and people (though the latter have the option of resisting, which requires some work and strength), whirling them around in the power of darkness, damaging as it does so, before ejecting them a few feet away and disappearing boringly. Possibly stuns enemies caught up in the vortex. Weakens the user temporarily and disallows any abilities to be used in the next turn.

Dagger Dance: Draws from First Promise's power of darkness, as well as the user's own. The kunai multiply themselves various times, and disappear. Several dark portals open around its target, the dark kunai swiftly passing through those portals into another portal, while passing through, or just by, the intended target of the attack.

Faded Existence: Limit Attack. Consumes the entiriety of the user's life force, punching them into a state so weakened that they lose their consciousness and must retreat into the Realm of Darkness to prolong their existence. Faded Existence makes Dion appear like his true existence, but only briefly so. A few flashes of what he once was, before a vortex of darkness consumes the entire area, spewing the power of the dark realm through the area. Deals very high damage to all those within a 30 feet distance, but no damage to the area at all. Everyone within the area is temporarily drawn into a World That Doesn't Exist, a timeless, spaceless vacuum inside an existing world where the powers of darkness are given free reign. And, of course, where there is a constant, looming voice of apology. Endlessly apologizing to someone, it resounds in this area while the darkness whirls and twirls and slams into anyone present. People trapped in this alternate plane may experience disorientation when they are ejected therefrom.

History:
In Midgarth, it's common place that every noble family is under the protection of another family, often families trained in the arts of defending and assassination.
Dion hails from the latter sort of family, although his profiency at assassination is rather low and he's far more adept at disabling opponents. Moving onward.
Bound by the same oath that many of his sort were, namely to protect a noble family, Dion, aged 12, soon met up with and befriended the Young Master of the House of Aldrock, surely a prestigious family. Dion served as a bodyguard and butler to this Young Master. Eight long years did Dion (who was named "Elvis" by the Young Master, and has used that name ever since) serve the Young Master.

And then tragedy struck.

Out on a journey towards an acquaintance of his, leaving Elvis behind at the mansion, the world of Midgarth was struck by dark, shadow-like creatures, assaulting the inhabitants. In the turmoil of the attack, Elvis surely realized he was to rush to the Young Master's aid and protect him from shadowy harm.

During that journey, Elvis found his young master. They were re-united! ... But as he sought to return the young master to Hildebrand, Elvis himself was swallowed by darkness and defeated by the Heartless. His strong Heart beat on, spawning a Heartless; but also a Nobody.

The Nobody woke up in a daze in the World That Never Was, all his senses detached from reality itself. As in a dream-like environment, the Nobody stumbled about. No one to talk to him. No one to explain why he felt so... So... Cold, and empty. And yet... Yet it didn't seem like those things mattered all that much. It was a strange sensation. The Nobody remembered something... A name... Dion? That was his name? He was Dion, alright. But at the same time, he couldn't place any significance to it. He just... Couldn't put any significance to his own existence, and decided it wasn't that important what he was called.
He began travel. He knew not why. Was there something he was expecting to see? Something he was hoping to find?

I'll get right to it then.

Sub #3: This is basically two subs in one since it deals very high damage in the 30 foot area, and draws those affected into a vortex of darkness where they feel a sense of disorientation. Since those within in the blast zone are already screwed to begin with, having them feel disoriented will kill them. If you plan to modify this remember to specify how long they are in the vortex and if they can break out. Of course that's only if you stick with the latter sub I was rattling on about.

Fix that and you're good.

I figured a last ditch move that targets all indiscriminately (affects allies as well, unusable in situations where I am backed up) and forces my character to either face death or suffer extreme backlash and retreat (in other words, cannot act again after this move regardless of anything) would have some entitlement to a certain degree of, "Gee, that's pretty strong."

The special zone they are drawn into is simply... Hm, let's compare it to the battle between Sora and Roxas in the World That Never Was. Simply a secluded "space time continuum" that exists between planes, meant to make the force of this move have no effect on buildings and the like. Disorientation is simply because, after having been drawn into a different plane of existence and having been battered by the forces of darkness, one may feel a slight hint of disorientation upon exit from said area.

It is not so much a specific part of the ability as it is a note that certain sorts of characters may suffer from certain effects upon conclusion of the attack.

As far as the inescapability of the move goes, at present, it is "inexcapable"; people will not be able to leave the vortex once they've entered it. Entrance into the vortex is immediate from the moment of its effective activation, which is preceded by the short flash of returned existence to the Nobody as described in the first half of the ability description. Once caught within, there are whirls of dark power assaulting you; I'd say they are comparable to the shockwaves that Saïx's weapon emits when in berserk mode. Really, I don't have any escape clause entered into this because it immediately ends further combat activity from my character, and thus denies me any rewards I may have won were I to win the battle without it.

Please tell me whether that explanation suffices or not - I want to do the edit in one go, so I'll need to know exactly where you place the bounds. Moreover, depending on how limited you want it to be, I may or may not remove the clause where it renders my character unusable for further participation to the thread, so I need to know the exact bounds of the ability with and without the clause.

Thanks!

Don't bother with the edit. Your lovely explanation clarified the few things I was confused about. Seriously though you're going to kill this old man here with the amount of profiles you put out. If I die from it I'll quickly tape a sign to my chest saying "Trap did it" just before I move on to the otherworld. I'm not going down without spiting my murderer. As the great Volgin of MGS3 said, "Its not over yet!!!"

Accepted, Locked, Whatever

P.S. Sorry for the odd little rant. I do this a lot when I'm insanely tired. It adds flavor to the profile, which I find absolutely charming.
