And this is how it feels when I ignore the words you spoke to me
And this is where I lose myself when I keep running away from you
And this is who I am when, when I don't know myself anymore
And this is what I choose when it's all left up to me
And this is where I lose myself when I keep running away from you
And this is who I am when, when I don't know myself anymore
And this is what I choose when it's all left up to me

So tell me a little bit about yourself.
Physical Aspects: She has a dark complexion, green eyes and messy, thick black hair. She is tall for her age, about six-foot-nothing. She is all bones and muscle, angles and sharpness. Much to her embarrassment, her lack of body fat has resulted also in a lack in the chest area. Her hair is wild, unkempt and long-down to her waist- and has a fringe that almost completely covers her right eye. She wears a brown leather coat, cropped to the waist and long sleeved. The inside of the jacket is lined with a satiny green material. Under her coat she wears a purple and green horizontally striped crop top with three-quarter sleeves. Black denim "skinny jeans" and a brown belt. Purple and green sneakers and black fingerless gloves. She wears no make up and the only jewelry she wears is a plain black choker necklace and the three piercings in her left ear. Probably the most distinguishing feature of her face is her eyebrows, which are thick and serious. She has a tattoo of a black Monarch butterfly on her left shoulder. Also, she has scars criss-crossing up both of her arms (slightly lighter than the rest of her skin) from her wrists to the bends of her elbows. Here is a picture of her.
Offworld Appearances:
- Halloween Town: When Emi visits Halloween Town, her clothes change into what she likens to a demonic Christmas elf. She wears a horizontally striped long sleeved mini-dress, rust and orange colored. Jingly bells adorn the tattered hem of her skirt. A matching masqurade-style mask covers her eyes, and her thick black hair is pulled into pigtails with huge orange bows. She wears striped leggings the same color as her dress, and these leggings become shoes with elfin curly toes. Her fingers have become claws and she seems to have sprouted vampire-style fangs.
- Atlantica: Emi becomes a mermaid, naturally. An inverse of the classic Ariel look, Emi wears a green sea-shell top and has a purple mermaid's tail. Also, as in many of her off-world transformations, Emi's hair is pulled back into a low pony tail, to avoid becoming tangled in the underwater current. This is the only outfit in which the butterfly tattoo on her left shoulder is visible.
- Pride Lands: Emi becomes a black and white colored gazelle, with legs a little longer than the average gazelle and a very nice set of horns. She isn't quite sure about the horns, since she is pretty sure only dudes get those...
- Space Paranoids: Emi ditches her jacket and jeans for a much sleeker outfit, black leather with glowing blue lights.
- Timeless River: Emi becomes a black and white, more distorted and cartoony form of herself. Her hands and feet are exaggerated on noodly arms and legs, her black hair is even more wild, and her eyes seem to have become two round dots on her face.
Persona:
- Façade: On the outside, Emi is angry. Impulsive is actually a better word to describe her. She is violent as well. She has been this way since childhood and has been known to get into fights and put holes in walls. Her impulsive nature is what lead her to become an addict, which she doesn't consider herself anymore. She curses a lot and will occasionally make a distasteful joke. She also has a tendency to be very sarcastic. She's not apologetic in the least bit, and hates admitting defeat.
One of the more positive aspects of her is that she is almost brutally honest and undyingly loyal to those she actually calls a friend. Once she has befriended you, she will go out of her way to make sure you are safe and happy, even if it means sacrificing her own safety and happiness. But if you are not her friend, or God forbid, her enemy... watch out because she doesn't give second chances and will hold a grudge forever. Emi is incredibly stubborn and once she gets something into her mind, its incredibly difficult to get her to let go of it. She will go after something with all of her strength and will not give up until she runs out of options. And if she runs out of options she'll just start beating things.- Inner Mind: When it comes down to it, on the inside Emi is still just a scared little girl. She is constantly struggling to keep her head above water and fight against her nature and her old habits. Despite her violent nature, she actually fears hurting others and feels awful when she does so. She hates herself for not keeping her emotions under control. Also, she is restless. She is never able to stay in one place for long because it makes her feel trapped. She wishes she could just settle down, make some meaningful relationships and be at peace.

- Hi-Potion
Inventory: Any items such as keychains, and Synthesis materials, as well as plot items go here.
- Organization XIII cloak
- Arc Scale
Weapon(s): Daggerwing and Duskywing
Emi wields two custom kali sticks, about 2 feet long each and made out of a lightweight but sturdy metal. Daggerwing is in her left hand and Duskywing in her right. Each stick is engraved with a butterfly towards the top and has a black wrapped bottom. She stows her sticks in two loops in her belt.
Lacewing
A butterfly themed keyblade. Emi inherited the ability to wield a keyblade from Arc, and she will use it to protect her friends and herself from the darkness. It is symbolic of her coming to terms with her past and moving towards the light. All of her elemental magic is linked to her keyblade. She can't use spells unless she is using her keyblade. Furthermore, she cannot use [Metalmark] or [Xerces Blue+] while she is using her keyblade because they are linked to her kali sticks.
- Keyblade Ability 1: Demi
Gravity spell. Either temporarily forces all enemies in range into the ground or makes them float, at Emi's discretion. Deals strong damage.
Range: Twice the length of her keyblade.
Speed: takes about 10 seconds for the orb to form, after that instantaneous affects.
Cooldown: 2 posts.
Uses: 3 times per thread.
Strength: Strong.
ABILITIES SECTION:
[Wall Run]
Emi can run a wall run along it horizontally This ability doesn't really do anything in and of itself, but it does allow her to do a few things because of it. She can avoid enemies on the ground, launch herself into the air for an aerial attack or reach previously inaccessible areas. She could also run up or down a wall vertically to access ledges or other heights. While wall running, Emi is unable to defend and an enemy could knock her down. She can add flips and other acrobatics as well as jump to other walls to gain height.
Range: N/A
Speed: As fast as she can run. (average speed)
Cooldown: 3 posts
Uses: Passive
Strength: Weak
[Broken Silverdrop+]
This ability gives Emi the ability to form a shimmery silver-colored shield in front of her during battle. The shield only protects her front, leaving the back open for attack, but it covers her from head to toe and is convex. It makes her virutally invinicible to head on attacks, magical and physical all the way up to the strong level. It also negates the affects of any status affect abiities, up to strong level. The position of this shield makes it hard to attack and if she disables it before the time is up, that counts as a use.
Range: about a foot in front of her
Speed: The shields instantly appear and get progressively weaker. It takes about 3 posts for them to run out.
Cooldown: 2 posts
Uses: 3 times per battle
Strength: Strong
[Xerces Blue+]
Emi will go into a kneeling position and slam her kali sticks into the ground, creating a shock wave around her. This shock wave makes a circle around her, 6 feet in diameter in its last and widest wave. If any enemies are caught in it, they will be knocked off their feet and suffer strong damage. In its strong level, Xerces Blue causes 5 shock waves with 2 seconds between them.
Range: 6 foot diameter
Speed: Fast. The shockwaves take about 2 seconds to reach their maximum diameter and it can't be as dodged as easily as the previous levels.
Cooldown: 2 posts
Uses: 3 times per battle
Strength: Strong
[Corridors of Darkness+]
Because Emi now walks in shadows, she is able to call up Corridors of Darkness to travel from place to place. She owns a black cloak to protect her from any further damage. Emi has been trained and has practiced this ability, so she can now use it to travel between whatever worlds she chooses and there is a much smaller cooldown period. At this level, she can keep the corridor open for much longer and summon it faster, allowing her to use it for evasive maneuvers.
Range: Pretty far; she can travel between worlds.
Speed: Instantaneous
Cooldown: 1 post
Uses: Passive
Strength: Strong
[Metalmark]
Sends a moderate fire spell through her kali sticks, super-heating them for extra attack power. This does not hurt Emi. She will attack regurlarly, but the impacts are more powerful and hurt more. They also leave a temporary butterfly shaped brand on the point of impact.
Range: melee
Speed: normal
Cooldown: 3 posts
Uses: 3 times per battle
Strength: Moderate
[Final Form+]
Due to the very subjective nature of Emi's heart, when she enters a state of blind rage her Final Form transformation is triggered. Speed is increased x2, strength is increased x2. If her Broken Silverdrop ability was not used previous to the transformation, she is impervious damage from weak abilities and attacks and damage from moderate abilities and attacks is halved. Any weak attacks or abilities will simply bounce off an invisible shield that surrounds her. She is still susceptible to damage from strong abilities and attacks. If Broken Silverdrop was used, damage from weak abilities is halved and she is still susceptible to damage from up to strong weak attacks and abilities. Regardless, she is not affected by status effects, although status effects from before don't go away. In addition to an increase in her stats, she goes through a physical transformation. Her clothes turn completely black and slightly transparent ethereal black wings form on her back She attacks normally although with increased speed and strength- the wings seem to be merely decoration. The downside to this ability is that all other active abilities are powered down and on transforming back to her normal form, she will always lose consciousness for a few minutes. The transformation lasts for 2 posts, and it happens randomly when she becomes intensely angry- but not every time.
Range: The shield extends about a foot in any direction.
Speed: Transformation happens instantly, and Emi reverts to normal instantly when it deactivates.
Cooldown: No cool-down period; only able to use once per thread
Uses: Once per thread.
Strength: StrongEverybody’s got a weakness or two; what are yours?
Elemental Weakness: Water; Emi is highly aquaphobic
Other Weaknesses: --What’s your story?
Emi grew up thinking maybe she was a princess and her parents would return for her soon. She was born in Radiant Garden and abandoned at an orphanage just hours after her birth. From an early age she was intrigued and even obsessed with the castle. Despite her knack for getting into fights and making trouble for herself and everyone in town, she had a fairly normal childhood. She lived with other children and a guardian who cared for her. She always wondered about her parents and she was very young when learned of her mother. Her mother had every intention of keeping her child, even though Emi's father was apparently nowhere to be found, but died from complications of childbirth and Emi was handed over to the orphanage. Emi was understanably sad, but she was only a child and it wasn't long before she was back to her old self. She loved collecting butterflies and had a real talent for the piano even at a very young age. She met and befriended Ienzo, now known as Zexion, and they were inseperable until, in a fit of anger, she turned on him. The two weren't allowed to play together after that and Emi wouldn't see him again until years later...
She was seven years old when Radiant Garden was destroyed and Emi found herself in Twilight Town. For seven years, things were great. She adjusted to her new home well and lived with a loving elderly couple who paid for her private school education and piano lessons. She still got into fights and had a hard time making friends because of her attitude, but it wasn't until she was fourteen that things began to spiral out of control very quickly. She met and became involved with a much older man named Kei. She craved the attention he gave her and was so afraid of losing it that she took up his way of life. In a year she went from a troublemaking but content eighth grader to something completely different. She got into alcohol first, but abandoned it quickly in favor of drugs. Kei taught her how to turn her pent up anger in on herself by cutting herself, mostly in an attempt to keep her from causing trouble for him. She dropped out of school in her freshman year of high school, stopped going to piano lessons and eventually moved out of her house and in with Kei and his girlfriend.
After two years, however, she woke up and decided she'd had enough. She hated herself for what she'd become. She sold what she could and got enough money to assemble a gummi ship, which she figured was about the only way to get out of Twilight Town. She left in the middle of the night without telling anyone and what followed was weeks of painful withdrawals and wandering. She ran into her old friend Ienzo, who was now the Nobody known as Zexion, by chance one evening in Traverse Town. She didn't really remember him as her memories from childhood were blurry. She ran into him again in Beast's Castle and when she realized who it was, she begged him to take her back to Radiant Garden. She'd been searching for her home all along but had forgotten the way. In the process of trying to persuade him, she was defended by somebody else she'd run into at Beast's Castle: Arc, who hit Zexion for acting the way he did. Emi followed Zexion through a corridor of darkness and into The World that Never Was, where after some reminiscing she was able to convince him to take her home. She found out that she too could use these corridors, and Zexion helped her learn to control them.
Now, she is travelling the worlds again... looking for closure, and looking for home.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.
Which one will you choose?
Chosen Weapon: Emi takes the Sword with both hands.
Swift Blow
Swinging your weapon with all of your might, you achieve speeds unlike any other you have ever obtained. Your weapon glows faintly as you smash, slash, hack, stab, or otherwise injure your foe with greater speed than normal.
Range: Melee
Speed: 2x swing speed
Cooldown: 4 posts
Uses: 2 uses
Strength: Weak
And this is how it looks when I am standing on the edge
And this is how I break apart when I finally hit the ground
And this is how it hurts when I pretend I don't feel any pain
And this is how I disappear when I throw myself away
And this is how I break apart when I finally hit the ground
And this is how it hurts when I pretend I don't feel any pain
And this is how I disappear when I throw myself away
