Description The next page of my Nobody sketches.
This time around features and

Xain - The Mind Sword
While Xain doesn't really have an element per se, his thing is attacking with his mind, which makes semi-visible blasts that are only noticable as it closes in at the end. His staff is ridiculous, I know... I was trying to do something creative rather than just having an orb at the top and the Nobody cross at the bottom, but I feel I might have been better off with those... I had a hard time coming up with a good FF class to name his Nobody from, but I found an FFXI class called Puppet Master that seemed appropriate with Psycokinesis. Basically, both they and Xain can lift up Sora and his teammates with their minds, and the reaction commands would involve deflecting their forced attacks and somehow turning them against Xain... I haven't fleshed it out TOO much, but basically Xain would float around throwing stuff at you with his mind.

Vaddix - the Night Wolf
I think I could have come up with a better title, but more or less it works, I think. I also botched up the head, and tried to make his hair seem like it was shaped into wolf ears, but I botched that up too. Essentially, Vaddix is a Nobody that lives secluded in the wilderness in one of the worlds and controls the Beast Master Nobodies, who in turn can control the Jagged Howler Heartless, who are Heartless created from wolves. Vaddix moves quickly and darts behind trees and stuff while attacking with his claws, and also has a few attacks where he would use traps. One such attack would involve him unleashing energy shaped as a net from his palms, and a "Capture" reaction command would pop up where Sora would reverse the attack and wrap Vaddix up in it. Then a Release prompt would come up, and when you release him he would be sent flying back. If timed right, he could be sent flying back into a rocky ridge on the battle field which would stun him for ample attacking.

Since I didn't have enough room for any more of the other Nobodies on the bottom, I put in the Nobody and Heartless associated with Vaddix. The Beast Master fights using a whip, and can appear in battle riding on top of a Jagged Howler. The Tame reaction command makes the JH stop in its tracks, causing the Beast Master to be throw off and forcing it to fight on foot. For the BM, you can Capture a weakened one, and then press the button again to unleash it for a suicide attack on other enemies. The Leap command on the JH allows Sora to jump on it like a Beast Master, and then the Reaction command Rage becomes available, where the Howler shoots fire or whatever from its "mouth" before throwing Sora off.

Thats all for this page, I guess. The third one, and last one so far even though there are a few more I need to do, will feature Nobodies based on , , , and my younger sister, who asked me to do one when I started sketching them out.

Nicely thought out character designs here, as usual. Animals was always a ridiculosly fun command in FFV, especially when the little nightengales came and healed the party...beastmaster was annoying though, seeing that I could never catch anything. But I like the way you reworked those beastmaster 'capture' and 'release' commands to fit the battle system of KH.

Awesome! I really like the over all look of Xain. The staff is a little out there. But it kinda fits. And yeah, Vaddix does look like wolverine. XD

All the more reason for me to make the fixes I wanted to make on his head. x___X

Also, if the Organization XIII members have names that are anagrams plus an X of their former names, then Xain would be either:

Ain
Ian
Nia
Nai

Vaddix would be:
Vaddi
Didav
Vadid
Etc. etc.

But then, Saix's name would be what? Crap?

Actually, Vaddix was just David.
Xain... was strange. I think Dark misunderstood exactly how it worked when I described it to him, but I just stuck with Xain, because it just sounded so cool. XD
