Background: Ansem (the Wise) was the respected ruler of Radian Garden, a very peaceful city. A sage and dedicated scientist, Ansem spent much of his free time studying various things here and there. As his studies delved into the darkness within hearts, he grew concerned with the state of his city. What if darkness was to overtake it and ruin his peaceful home? With the safety and concern of his people in mind, he began to study the darkness in detail, his lab assistants and his amnesiac apprentice helping along.
A chance encounter with a king from another world helped him realize how dangerous his studies were and he ordered his assistants to stop. But the assistants continued with their research, eventually stealing his identity and destroying the beautiful Radiant Garden in the process.
Shamed and exiled into the darkness, Ansem brewed on things, harboring hatred toward those who had taken everything away from him. Consumed with thoughts of revenge, he began a spiraling descent into the darkness, even taking on a new name; DiZ (Darkness in Zero).
It was through this way he met up with Riku and his old friend, King Mickey, guiding the boy through the levels of Castle Oblivion and forging a partnership of sorts as he tried to regain back what he had lost. But the more he worked with Riku, the more he realized the path he had taken and the more he began to regret what he had done.
In a final attempt of redemption and to fix things, he went to The World That Never Was with a device that would digitally seal away Kingdom Hearts. But as he worked, the unpredictability of hearts foiled even that plan and overloaded his machine. In his final moments, he apologized to everyone he had wronged on his path for revenge and allowed the explosion from his machine take his life, dying in a brilliant flash of light and not sorrowful or angry, but proud, happy, and laughing.
RP Sample: Life. It is a blessing to be alive once more, but I wonder about the cause my... sudden return will have on the world. If this is even the living world I knew.
Is this my chance to redeem myself and to fix the mistakes of my past life? Or a way to mock my existence?
I shall use this log to record my thoughts and findings. Perhaps there will be others around who have an idea of what is going on or information on this world.
But for now, I walk. If time passes in the same way, it is nearly nightfall and I do not care to find out what is lurking out here just not. Finding proper lodging is a must. Or if all else fails, a safe cave.
I wonder who else is involved? Riku? Sora? Organization XIII? My apprentice, Xehanort? I do not know. So many questions.
