So tell me a little bit about yourself.

Physical Aspects: Being a mouse, Mickey is very short, standing at only 2'3”. He is, of course, anthropomorphic and is covered in short, black fur. His most recognizable feature is his pair of large, round ears, which are very sensitive of hearing. Fur is absent from his face, though it frames it, forming a bit of a widow's peak above his eyes. He has a large, black nose at the end of a short snout and oval eyes with black irises and tiny, white pupils. He also has a long, thin, black tail.

Mickey typically wears a short-sleeved, collared jacket with white lining. The sleeves of this jacket are black, while the torso is red, and there are two yellow straps dangling in front of it. The jacket, while held together by a zipper at the top, splits open down the front. His pants are red and sport a zipper going down the front of each leg. Each leg also has a yellow pouch with a black strap that partially covers the zipper, and there are blue straps on the outer side of each pant leg. He wears very large, yellow shoes with gray backs and a gray stripe over the middle of each shoe. Two orange, intersecting straps are attached to the front of each shoe. He also wears white gloves. Pictured here.


Persona:

• Façade: Despite his small stature, Mickey is bursting with life and energy. When in the company of friends, he is always ready to smile, laugh, and have a good time. As one of the primary warriors of the light, he is very sure of himself and his abilities to fight against the darkness, but this confidence never comes off as arrogance. He is, in fact, very sacrificially-minded, always ready and willing to humble himself in order to aid those in need. As a king, he is fully aware of the great responsibility he holds for the lives of those who serve under him, and he will fiercely defend those lives, even if it requires his death.
  
  Though Mickey thoroughly enjoys laughing and having fun with those he cares about, he possesses the ability to quickly shift into more serious modes of thought. He always seems to have everything together and to know exactly what to do in any given situation, no matter how grave it might be. His jovial nature can very often be misleading, as deep wisdom appears hidden just behind his large eyes. Even Sora looks to Mickey for guidance and reassurance. As such, Mickey is often thought to have all the answers, so to speak.
  
  
• Inner Mind: Though the king of Disney Castle does have much confidence in himself, lately, he has taken to questioning his original motives for seeking the erasure of the darkness. While he does appreciate what his experiences with Riku taught him, Mickey finds himself teetering along the edge of uncertainty, unable to find concrete explanations to silence his doubts and questions.
  
  Though he has made steps in maturing beyond the over-zealousness of his younger days, he still finds it difficult to completely accept that darkness could have an equal place beside the light. He has seen what unbridled darkness does to worlds, and he refuses to let destruction have free reign just so some cosmic balance can be restored. He is determined to discover a way to restore the balance without resorting to the destruction of worlds.

Stand up and fight.

Weapon(s): Kingdom Key D – This is the Keyblade that Mickey acquired in the Realm of Darkness. It is a mirror of Sora's Realm of Light Keyblade and was necessary in sealing Kingdom Hearts after Sora's battle with Xehanort's Heartless to prevent the Heartless from escaping.

ABILITIES SECTION:

Pearl
A light-based spell in which Mickey launches a homing sphere of golden light at an opponent; the sphere is roughly the size of a beach ball.

Range: Pearl is capable of traveling up to 50 feet before dissipating if it fails to hit its target. Should the spell collide with something other than its target, it still produces a small explosion that could catch and damage an enemy within its approximately 6-foot radius.
Speed: The sphere of light travels moderately fast, about 65 mph; however, Mickey can cast Pearl without any sort of charge time.
Cooldown: 3 posts
Uses: 5 uses per thread
Strength: Moderate

Sword of the King
This ability temporarily increases all damage done by Mickey's Keyblade, raising every hit to the effectiveness of a Weak ability. The effect lasts for the duration of two full posts. The cooldown period begins after the effect has worn off.

Range: Self
Speed: Instantaneous
Cooldown: 5 posts
Uses: 2 uses per thread
Strength: Weak

Everybody’s got a weakness or two; what are yours?

Elemental Weakness: Darkness/Shadow
Other Weaknesses: While Mickey's small size grants him an advantage in speed, it also makes him more vulnerable to powerful physical attacks, as he is easily knocked aside, should one connect.

What’s your story?

[Note: Due to spoiler concerns, details of Mickey's life that get revealed in BBS are not included here.]

As a small child, Mickey first worked as a deck hand with Pete on the steamboat Willie in Timeless River. Here, he first learned the importance of personal responsibility and also honed his people skills, considering that Pete was not always the easiest person to get along with. At this stage in his life, Mickey was not a mouse of many words.

While training under Master Yen Sid, Mickey gained much more confidence and also became incredibly proficient with the Keyblade. His training drew out the innate wisdom Mickey possesses to this day. He was among the first to recognize the threat of the darkness and sought out answers by befriending Ansem the Wise. With his fears confirmed, he left Disney Castle to investigate the outbreak of the Heartless and the disappearance of the worlds. Mickey left a message for his two trusted subjects, Donald and Goofy, to locate the “Key,” by which he meant the Key-bearer. Mickey did not personally reveal himself to Sora until the two saw each other across the door to Kingdom Hearts. Before this, the King had wandered the Realm of Darkness and obtained its Keyblade, which would complement Sora's. Using the combined power of their opposite Keyblades, Sora and the king sealed Kingdom Hearts to prevent the Heartless from escaping.

Though Mickey was now in the Realm of Darkness, he was not alone. Riku, Sora's friend, was also with him. Mickey already had an interest in Riku, but because of the events in Castle Oblivion, that interest very quickly blossomed into friendship. Through Riku, Mickey saw that darkness did not always need to be unquestionably opposed and could, in fact, be beneficial. Once Riku and the King left Castle Oblivion, they parted ways.

Mickey continued to investigate the circumstances behind the previous year's events, especially the mysterious Organization XIII. Working mostly behind the scenes, he aided Sora, Donald, and Goofy in their renewed efforts to locate Kairi and Riku. The trio first encountered him in the simulated Twilight Town, where he simply gave them a munny pouch to help them reach Yen Sid by train. Later, Mickey was united with Sora, Donald, and Goofy at Hollow Bastion, where Maleficent had summoned thousands of Heartless in an attempt to conquer the world for herself once again. When Xemnas revealed himself, Mickey tried to follow him through the Corridor of Darkness, hoping to discover his base of operations, but the King could not follow him all the way.

Later, Sora met Mickey in Twilight Town again, where they used the simulated Twilight Town to reach The World That Never Was. Upon entering the world, Mickey ran ahead of the others to search for Ansem the Wise. When he found him, Mickey rescued him from death and then watched as Ansem attempted to convert Kingdom Hearts to data. However, Ansem was unsuccessful, and he vanished when the machine he was using exploded.

Mickey eventually confronted Xemnas with Sora and the others, but he was denied participation in the final fight when the Nobody blocked off the newly-opened Kingdom Hearts, allowing only Sora and Riku access. After the two defeated Xemnas, they returned to Destiny Islands where they found Mickey and the others waiting for them. After congratulating them both on a job well-done, Mickey returned to Disney Castle, where he was reunited with his wife, Queen Minnie. He has spent about a year enjoying the peace of living at home, but a short while ago, he left Disney Castle once again, seeking answers to questions that have been plaguing him about the true relationship between light and darkness.

It all comes down to this: make your choice.

You are presented with three weapons: a sword, a staff, and a shield. The sword represents the power of the warrior; invincible courage comes with this weapon as well as horrible destruction. The staff represents the power of the mystic; inner strength comes with this weapon as well as wonder and ruin. The shield represents the power of the guardian; kindness to aid friends comes with this weapon as well as a shield that will repel all.
