Character Information
Character Name: Demyx
Fandom: Kingdom Hearts
Character History:
Demyx was the ninth Nobody to join Organization XIII, and the first one cultivated outside of Radiant Garden. The world he came from and his original name are currently unknown. Using Axel and Saix as a template for how Nobodies age, it is likely that Demyx was at least as young as they were when his heart was stolen, if not younger, much closer in age to Zexion. Between Axel and Roxas is a ten year gap, and since Demyx was the next member in, it is likely he has been a member for the higher end of that time span.
Notably, Demyx was not involved in any of the small factions trying to destroy the Organization from within and he actually remained loyal to the Organization until his demise. He was considered the recon specialist of the group, sent mostly on non-combat missions. His laziness and lack of desire to do their bidding was likely what led to his elimination from Organization XIII, once there were no more traitors around.
He appeared to have a playful relationship with Xigbar and Axel, giving them both nicknames, but he didn't seem particularly close to anyone. He was not especially fond of Larxene, who called him lazy and useless, nor Saix who kept barking at him to get to work.
He was the first to reveal that those at Castle Oblivion perished thanks to Sora. He spent enough time around Axel and Roxas for them to make fun of him behind his back. Between missions he was always found playing with his sitar.
He performed several missions with Roxas during his time as a member there. He was friendly with Xion, but found her status as a mere doll unsettling.
After Axel failed to retrieve Roxas and was spending his time with his own agenda, Demyx was assigned the task of watching Sora. His exact orders were to confront him, and use aggression to liberate Roxas' true nature.
This was wildly unsuccessful. He was defeated by Sora, but managed to flee with his life, begging him to come back.
During the battle of 1000 heartless in Hollow Bastion, Demyx was ordered again to liberate Roxas. This fight proved fatal, Demyx vanishing from existence with a pained cry.
It is assumed that when Kingdom Hearts was broken apart he, like the other Nobodies, regained his heart where he lost it.
Character Personality:
It should be noted first of all that Demyx's outward personality is completely fabricated. As he has no heart and no true emotions, his personality is essentially acting. Demyx presents himself as friendly and outgoing. He maintains a cheerful facade. He always seems to have a smile when talking to him. When the facade drops, he is cold, calculating and ruthless. During his fight with Sora he constantly taunts him, driving Sora to anger, to the point that Demyx's demise is met with a frustrated, celebrated cry on his part.
He often laments he is not cut out for combat. He is not someone who likes to fight, but that should not be mistaken for being a bad fighter. He isn't the strongest member of the Organization, but he is also not the weakest. His behaviour is meant to throw opponents off-kilter, to get them to underestimate him so he can take the upper hand. This is demonstrated when fighting Sora, when he finally drops the act and goes after him with ferocity that seemed unlike him.
Demyx also presents himself as a coward. When confronted with conflict, his first reaction is to run away. He refuses to go on certain missions alone, dragging other members along when he feels like he might be overwhelmed in a fight. This leads the other members to go so far as to question his intelligence. He prioritizes self-preservation, and remaining alive at all costs.
In reality, Demyx is incredibly lazy and doesn't care much for his missions. He is very manipulative, not only dragging members along to save him when he's acting scared, but he has a history of tricking Roxas into doing the bulk of the work on a shared mission, figuring instead he could sleep or play his sitar. He likes to stall for time, or take his time returning to the castle, however due to the nature of the Organization, his missions are likely completed.
His attitude could be easily described as laid-back, fitting with his lazy image. He has an easy-going way of speaking, going as far as to use nicknames, like calling Axel 'Ax' or Xigbar 'Xiggy'. Whether or not the person cares for the nickname, Demyx would keep using it because he has a bit of a stubborn streak.
As a Nobody, the others find him to be very expressive, although they are convinced he is acting, however, it is noted by Axel and Roxas that he is genuinely attached to his sitar and would probably be devastated if he lost it. Playing his sitar is his favourite thing to do, aside from annoying other members of the Organization. Demyx is the type of person to pull pranks to amuse himself if he is bored. Axel and Roxas laughed that he had no talent, but likely Demyx uses his sitar music to annoy everyone around him, particularly when he should be going off on missions. Demyx also takes great care in his appearance, spending a good deal of time styling his hair to his vision of perfection, something he did before his heart was taken.
Due to not having a heart, Demyx does not always show appropriate reactions to situations around him. When half of the Organization was annihilated at Castle Oblivion, he reported this to Roxas with a wide smile on his face. Despite being a recon specialist and a pacifist, Demyx can be very ruthless when drawn into battle. He will not show mercy.
Unlike most members of Organization XIII, Demyx remained loyal to the cause, and Xemnas until the end.
Powers and Abilities:
Demyx is a master of water as his element, able to manipulate it to his will, as well as summon it out of thin air. He has many applications for this, one of his favourites being that he creates clones of himself to do the fighting for him. He can create many clones, 99 seeming to be the maximum.
His weapon of choice is his sitar, Arpeggio. Using the music, he controls and manipulates the water to his will. Demyx is best suited as a long range fighter. Arpeggio's distinct shape is similar to the Organization's emblem. The neck of sitar ends in three points, which he can use to strike anyone who gets close, with minimal damage.
Aside from clones, he can summon strong, violent geysers to shoot up from the ground, as well as large waves and other rushes of water.
He possesses two limit breaks. The first, Wave Gigs allows for large pillars of water to be summoned, as a side effect of this, Demyx loses some of his speed, making it a double-edged sword. His Final Limit involves creating a large ball of water and releasing it with explosive power, to send enemies flying away from him, doing a large amount of elemental damage.
Since Demyx is loyal to the Organization, he remains the master of the Dancer Nobodies. He can summon the creatures, leaving them to fight his battles for him. Dancer Nobodies are incredibly fast and agile, grabbing the enemy and spinning them around to send them flying into the air.
Because he is someone who's living in the Darkness, he can summon and travel through Dark Corridors, something of a portalling system, facilitating fast travel.

What do you guys think about dreams?
I know it's late and all, but I couldn't sleep. I was having some kind of weird dream and really don't want to go into the details, but do you guys think they mean anything?
I'm not sure they do. My dream was about something in the past, and it never changes. It's always the exact same, every single time. Do you think that means I wish I could change it?
No, I know I wish that. That's a dumb quesiton, heh. Sorry.
I just heard sometime that some people interpret dreams to mean things. Is it supposed to mean something?
I don't know, I'm really tired. I should probably be asleep. Anyone up for a lullaby?
Third Person:
It was different, being and feeling powerless. Demyx hadn't felt that way in an incredibly long time, and he didn't particularly care for it. No matter how much he couldn't reach out and weave his element, he still felt drawn to it, and this affected the path he carved through the districts.
As he walked, his hands slid into his pockets and he hummed a little tune. His eyes were sharp, glances continuously shot one side or the next, just in the event that someone were going to take issue with him. It was second nature to be on guard, whether he looked like he was or not.
Discomfort was likely going to be commonplace for a long time, he mused. Everyone he met was just so ordinary, they went about their days as though it were normal. He liked other people, at least, he thought he did, but he was coming to the realization that he didn't really know how to interact with regular, normal human beings with hearts.
Demyx sighed a little and turned a corner. As uncomfortable as he was with people, and the thought of them getting closer made him squirm, he still found solace in his water. Each step brought him closer to the banks of De Nile, and that was much easier than facing people he may have even been afraid of knowing.
No, it wasn't them. What would they say if they knew him? A shudder ran the length of his spine.
The less said on the matter, the better. Demyx was resolute in that as he stepped along the banks and crouched down, sliding his hands into the water. He smiled, a brighter expression in his eyes as he moved his hands back and forth. It wasn't the same as controlling it, but for the time being, it was as close as he could get.
