Although every Organization member wears the same exact cloths, black cloak, black gloves, black boots, the only noticeable thing about the cloths is a gray tassel on the collar. With his hood down he has blue eyes and medium length brownish pink hair that accompany pale pink lips.

Marluxia is merciless, no doubt about it. He will kill any who oppose him if he must, and would probably enjoy doing it, too. There is little, if any, kindness in this man. There is only one reason why he would allow someone to keep their life, and that is if their living benefiting him in some way. He manipulates people for his own purposes so skillfully, that they don’t realize it until it’s too late. To him, they are mere pawns.

The Assassin is a quick thinker, and usually has a good handle on a situation. In fact, he hates not being in control. He believes that he is better than most people, which causes him to underestimate others. While this can put him at a disadvantage, Marluxia manages to twist any opposition to his goals into a way to forward his plans. Unlike most of the Organization, Marluxia does not seek his heart. The only thing he desires is power to overthrow Organization XIII.

Most importantly though, Marluxia seems to have an obsession with his superiority over the other Organization members. As the lord of Castle Oblivion, Marluxia has the ability to keep other members of the Organization under his own judgment. He even manipulates Vexen into fighting Sora by using Vexen's fear of Xemnas against him. Even though most of Marluxia's personality traits are negative, he does have a few positive aspects. Some of these include his devotion and persistence to succeed in his goals. He's a very adamant member of Organization XIII. Marluxia believes that he deserves more respect than he's given. All in all, Marluxia is a very egotistical, manipulative member of the Organization, who would stop at nothing to overthrow the Organization and become superior.

Strengths: Marluxia is a man not to be trifled with, particularly in battle. His attacks are generally powerful and difficult to avoid. Not only is he physically strong, but he is brilliant as well. He’s particularly gifted at manipulating people, and deceiving them. Before his death, he constructed a grand plan to overthrow the Organization. No one knew of this plan for quite some time, and he manipulated several other members to contribute to his plan.

Weakness:Marluxia has the habit of underestimating people. In fact, it was a main contributor to his death and even though he is alive again, he has yet to learn from past experiences. He is also very ambitious, and will do whatever it takes to achieve his goal. While normally this could be seen as a good thing, Marluxia takes it to a completely new level. One of his main ambitions is to gain more power, and it often lands him in very dangerous situations.

[H]istory

Birth By Sleep era
Before he became a Nobody, Marluxia was a florist. This probably doesn’t come as a surprise, considering that his element of control is flowers. Marluxia’s shop was very popular, and he was even considering opening a chain of shops. While possessing the knowledge to get a job in the field of Botany, Marluxia was a man of very little ambitions at the time. He felt that he had all the time in the world to accomplish any future goals. And he did. Until he fell in love.

The woman that he loved was rather pretty and possessed a heart of gold. She came to his shop nearly everyday for about a year to buy flowers and chat. While his feelings for her were completely platonic at first, Marluxia found himself head over heels in love after a few short months. He even considered telling her how he felt, but never mustered up the courage until what would be her final visit to his shop.

The day had seemed normal at first. Marluxia opened his shop at the same time as usual while munching on his favorite breakfast. The woman he loved visited the same time as always: noon sharp. All in all, just another every day routine. She left the shop, and it was in that split moment that Marluxia decided to tell her how he felt. Tossing everything aside, he ran out of the shop and chased after her. And then the Heartless attacked.

That day Marluxia lost his home, his shop, his love, and his heart.

(Pardon the "Wingin it" factor here)
Kingdom Hearts I
When Marluxia awoke as a Nobody in The World That Never Was, he remembered very little of what happened. What he did remember was the emotions that he once felt. Disgusted, he shoved the remnants of his previous feelings aside and strove to be the complete opposite of what he once was. He cared nothing for getting his heart back, because to a Nobody emotions were a useless thing. He believed that obtaining vast power would make him complete, and so started his training. That is when Xaldin and Xigbar found the wondering Nobody and offered him a position amongst their ranks.

385/2 Days
Like other members of the Organization, Marluxia aids Roxas in at least one mission. He is polite to Roxas in their mission. On the first, he teaches Roxas how to collect Hearts and explains to him about Heartless. He explains the differences between Pureblood Heartless and Emblem Heartless and to only attack Emblem Heartless to release Hearts. He also explains to Roxas that after he releases hearts, they form Kingdom Hearts, and that Roxas is the first one to accomplish this. This also shows his greed over the Keyblade. On the next, he helps Roxas fight some Dire Plants by The Old Mansion and Zip Slasher in Twilight Town. Later, he is assigned to Castle Oblivion with the other members.

Before Axel leaves for Castle Oblivion, it is revealed that Saïx knew about Marluxia's plans to overthrow the Organization. That is why he sent them and the other "suspicious" members to Castle Oblivion, along with Axel who was given orders to eliminate any of the members that planned to overthrow the Organization.

Chain of Memories
Despite being number eleven out of thirteen, Marluxia was given control over Castle Oblivion. As with every member, he was given an official title: ‘The Graceful Assassin.’ He was also given his own room, of course, complete with a spacious conservatory. The conservatory was his pride and joy, catering to his love of flowers, and the only remnants of his past life that he decided to keep. However, when he died the plants within the conservatory had no energy to feed off to grow, and eventually died.

Along with Larxene, Marluxia conspired to overthrow the Organization by using Naminé to manipulate Sora's memories. He was the first member of the Organization to battle with Sora in Castle Oblivion after luring Sora inside. However, the fight was nothing more than a test designed to gauge Sora's strength. He gave Sora his first set of world cards to proceed through the castle before leaving.

Marluxia manages to manipulate five members of the Organization, four of which eventually died. He also manipulated Sora by using Naminé. Axel, however, sees through his plan and convinces Naminé to do what she feels is right. She reveals to Sora that his memories of her are fake, and that his ‘promise’ was to another. She helps him remember the one closest to his heart. When Marluxia finds out about Axel’s betrayal, and Sora’s discovery, and (to make a very long story shorter) awaits the Keyblade wielder on the thirteenth floor.

When Sora arrives, Marluxia orders Naminé to erase Sora's memories, but she refuses. When Marluxia implies that he will kill her for disobeying him, Sora demands that Naminé erase his memories for her safety, as his promise will remain and he can protect her. Marluxia says that Sora would become just like the Riku Replica.

Marluxia and Sora fight, only for Sora to realize he has been fighting a replica of Marluxia; he enters a door to a dark, starry realm to begin the final showdown. The real Marluxia, atop a Nobody that has some of his abilities, confronts Sora and the final battle ensues.

[W]eapons
Graceful Dahlia---The handle of the Graceful Dahlia is long, pastel green, and curved. There are two small, gold rings near the top of the handle. The main blade is curved, rose pink, and has black under edges. There is another, vaguely oval-shaped blade attached to the top of the handle. This smaller blade is rose pink with black edges. The two blades are connected by a cross shape that resembles the top half of the Nobody logo that is white with gold and dark rose pink edges. The overall design of Graceful Dahlia gives it the appearance of a plucked flower

owers

Florakinesis

Flower Tornado: Whips up a tornado of razor sharp rose petals.

Flower Laser: Summons a rose that shots laser beams out of it.

Petal Rain: Summons sharp rose petals that rain down on the enemy.

Shock Wave: A pink shock wave comes out of the top of his scythe.

Sunflower Shield: Giant Petals of a sunflower encase Marluxia to form a super strong barrier.

Venus Flytrap: A giant Venus flytrap sprouts out the ground to trap the enemy. (Heavy vegatated enviroment is needed)

Babies Breath Bomb: Throws handfuls of Babies Breath flowers that explode shortly after.

Magic Bomb: Marluxia waves his hand towards the opponent, pointing at them as he short casts this spell. A small sphere of unformed vines covered in thorns surrounds the opponent. They continue to encircle until they fully form ten seconds later, in which they explode into a pink blast of magical energy. At nine seconds in, cease moving in preparation for the blast. Marluxia utilizes this move when the opponent is too far away for them to be easily attacked, or when their movement is sealed. The magic is complete upon casting, so he can still attack while awaiting the time to run out before they explode.

Nobody Seal: Before the battle truly begins, Marluxia can appear behind his fated opponent and whisper both a blessing and a curse into their ear. A large Nobody seal along with several thorny vines enshroud the foe as a number appears over their head, corresponding to their 'power' level. Marluxia's scythe will no longer damage that foe, but each connected swing will decrease the number. Once it hits zero, the opponent will die, having severed the connection of their heart to their body. Since his hits no longer 'connect', he can swing faster and slice more times through them. The number can be replenished by the scythe hitting Marluxia, but that is a rarity...

Frenzy Plant: The hilt of the scythe holds another element, and when it is thrust into the ground hard, a shock wave spreads out along the ground. If more energy is applied before hand, several large black circles appear (Up to 3 at once). A storm of thorny vines continuously move around inside them, ripping savagely into those that touch the circles. They remain for several moments after Marluxia's scythe hilt is removed from the ground, and must fully vanish before they can be recast. They deal Darkness damage as well as Physical cutting.(Last for 2 posts)

Limit
Bloom Out--->;During Bloom-Out, Marluxia begins to charge an attack while a large black ring forms around him. Once the attack finishes charging and the black ring is completely formed, Marluxia swings his scythe multiple times over a large area on the black ring. The last attack during this Limit Marluxia teleports before the attack, and his swing is much faster and covers a much larger area, followed by the release of a large, crescent-shaped projectile.

Currently, Zexion and Xigbar are on the hunt for the Florakinetic.

Role Playing Sample: He lurked in a corner nearby the portal entrance to the World That Never Was, darkness encasing his body completely. He made no movement - hadn’t for what seemed like hours - and didn’t plan on moving until a member of the Organization stepped through the portal. It was bound to happen eventually. After all, this was once their old stronghold and though it had been claimed by some sorceress, they would surely come back to it. After all, in a universe where they were never meant to exist it only made sense that they come to a world never meant to exist either.

As he waited, he had no need to worry about the numerous Heartless that roamed the area. They had no interest in the likes of him, mainly because he had no heart to be stolen. Yet another positive of being a Nobody. Marluxia smirked at the thought and shoved a gloved hand into the pocket of his black cloak. He would wait for only a few hours longer, and then he would search other worlds
