Name: Marluxia.
Nickname: Number XI, The Graceful Assassin.
Organization XIII or Dark XII Nickname: Org. XIII.
Age: Unknown.
Gender: Male.
Species: Nobody.
Position: XI of Organization XIII.
Powers/Abilities/Techniques/Skills: Marluxia has the ability, like all other Org.XIII Nobodies, to control his attribute. In Marluxia’s case, his attribute is Flowers, allowing him control over not only the petals and flowers he summons, but also those around him and even imbue them with energy to be used for an attack. One might mock this due to the nature of the attribute, but it’s astonishing powerful when wielded by the Graceful Assassin. From energy blades swung from his scythe, to short-ranged teleportation, passing by devastating energy infused strikes and rain of damaging petals, the Assassin proves to be quite a foe to face.
- Teleportation: Marluxia has the power to teleport short distances, using this either to avoid an attack or to position himself. This cannot be used as a means of transportation and he leaves petals behind him. [Cooldown: 1 post]
- Crescent Wave: Marluxia swings his scythe, unleashing a crescent arc of pink energy towards his opponent.
- Circle Reject: Marluxia spins his scythe above his head and with the help of a gust of petals lures his opponent in, only then to deliver a twirling combo that knocks his enemy away. [Cooldown: 1 Post.]
- Deathscythe: Marluxia teleports above and distant to his enemy, only then to swing his scythe creating large pink scars on the ground near the opponent with each swing. After the tare in the ground forms, pink colored energy erupts from it and harms the opponent. Marluxia can do this three times in a combo, thus the total amounts to six attacks counting the eruptions. The energy launched to make the scars that is launched from the scythe can also cause damage. [Cooldown: 4 posts]
- Corridor of Darkness: Like all Org members, Marluxia has the ability to create portals to darkness, which he uses to travel between Worlds or locations.
- Summon Lesser Nobodies: Standard summoning of an Org. Member, he may summon 4 lesser Nobodies to do his bidding. [Cooldown: 5 posts.]
- Drop Shot: Marluxia slams his scythe onto the floor after teleporting above. With momentum and strength combined a huge fissure is created.[Cooldown: 1 post]
- Flower storm: Marluxia creates three petal whirlwinds which travel around the field. Should someone get hit with one of these, they will get trapped within momentarily and will be submitted to some damage. However after imprisoned, Marluxia will teleport to them and slash them once with his scythe. [Cooldown: 3 posts]
- Blossom Shower: Marluxia will float in mid-air very close to his opponent, following him and swinging his scythe three times. After that he teleports away and appears a few feet from him. Throwing his hand up he conjures hundreds of petals and with a movement of his hand he sends them against his opponent. Each of them are infused with energy and are razor-sharp along having a magical component. [Cooldown: 4 posts]
- Nature's Darkness: Marluxia slams the handle down onto the ground, creating three large circles that cover the area. If an enemy steps on the circles, dark vines will ensnare them and cause damage to the opponent. This does not affect Marluxia however. [Cooldown: 3 posts]
- Assassin's Bane: Marluxia teleports below ground and proceeds to spin vertically, forming a saw that charges up to his opponent in a rapid and vicious manner. When done, Marluxia teleports back up. [Cooldown: 2 posts]
- Bloom Out: Marluxia charges an attack, while doing so a black circle forms from him and extends to the range affected by the attack. When charged to his desire, he swings his scythe and throws it, causing a wave of pink energy as the scythe twirls around him and follows the circle it created. [Final Limit. Can only be used once.]
- Petal Blade: Marluxia infuses his scythe momentarily with energy, making the blade glow pink and adding a magical component to one swing. [Cooldown: 1 per post]

Weapon/Items:Graceful Dahlia: Marluxia’s weapon of choice, this scythe goes with his flower theme, also complementing his appearance, the blade being pink along with the handle being green.
Organization Coat: Standard coat used by Org.XIII members.
Picture:
Appearance:Standing tall and with an elegant physic, Marluxia’s appearance complements his title of Graceful Assassin, his traits rather graceful indeed, possibly even feminine. His light pink hair is cut shoulder-length and presents ruffles, going well with his deep blue eyes and pale pink lips. As far as garments are concerned, Marluxia doesn’t deviate from his usual ones, being the Organization black coat that features black gloves and black boots. It is to be noted that, and is pretty noticeable, almost every motion he makes summons small petals. Whether or not this is done on purpose or not is unknown.
Personality:Behind his charm and calm expression lies a mischievous and egotistical betrayer. Marluxia is mostly seem calm and polite, although his intentions and thoughts are mostly about finding a way to back stab whoever is superior to him. Ever since he joined the Organization he plotted against Xemnas to overthrow him and become the leader. He has the obsession with ruling everything. He doesn't stand the idea of being someone else's underling and follow orders. That's why when he was at the Organization, he would usually only go on missions that seemed interesting to him.
Deception is his favourite tool. He always tends to deceive rather then face someone, plotting a way to kill them. But even though he wants or wanted to kill The Superior, he does tend to act slightly like him, having a tendency to dramatize everything and likes to give those long a slightly boring speeches. His attribute complements his looks and because of that he is also very proud of how his appearance, even though he can't really feel anything like all the other Nobodies. He is also graceful like his title implies, his strikes are always precise and perfect, but he tends to flourish a lot.
Marluxia has a dull and emotionless tone as he speaks. He doesn't seem to even show the slightest emotion unlike most of the Organization members, who pretend to have them. But he may occasionally smirk or laugh in some cold way. He does love to taunt people though. Marluxia is indeed power hungry. He always thirsts for more power and it's never enough. If he had that sort of power he would probably abuse of it, just like he did when he was in charge of Castle Oblivion. But it was not only power that allowed him to rule. Manipulating one using their fears is something Marluxia finds rather entertaining. Also, Marluxia isn't one to be seen around other members. He is polite to most of them, but he doesn't really care or like any of them. But he does like being respected and doesn't take likely if someone disrespect him.
In sum, Marluxia is probably the most self-centred, manipulative and power-hungry member of the Organization. He will stop at nothing to achieve his goals and he will remove any obstacle in the way, by any means necessary.

History:Ever since Marluxia was discovered by Xemnas, he had been plotting to overthrow the Superior out of his throne. But if he did succeed in even weakening him, Saix would be the one stepping in seeing that he the second in command and oh so loyal to the superior. So Marluxia remained quiet, he would attend the meetings and would, sometimes, go on missions. But he was always plotting and trying to find a way to reach his goal.
One day, the Organization was finally complete, Number 13 finally appeared. When Xemnas brought him in, he was rather surprised. The boy was one of the keybearers... That was what Marluxia needed to defeat the Superior. The power of the keyblade... Now all he needed to do was find a way to manipulate him to do his biding, but for now, he couldn't do much seeing that he was a mere "Zombie" as Axel so childishly described him. The boy needed time, but Marluxia didn't have much to spare.
Xemnas instructed that each of the members should help the newbie, showing him the ropes and all. Marluxia didn't mind... The boy wasn't a total disappointment. Marluxia was counting that he would run and hide while some Shadows would go after him... Turns out that he was indeed a vital pawn to the Superiors plan. He had to keep his eyes on the boy.
Shortly after he was informed that him and a few other members would be assign for a special mission at Castle Oblivion. Marluxia wasn't pleased with this. Something was up, from the ones that were assigned there, he was probably the strongest so he was the Lord of the Castle, but why him and not his trusted number 2? Something was up.
Marluxia decided to let Axel and Larxene in on his plan. But only the two of them. The rest were just weaklings that did not deserve to live. Larxene was obnoxious, but she was strong. Axel was also strong, but something didn't quite add up to him. It was best to keep his enemies closer then his friends...
When Marluxia arrived at the Castle, all the Organization members started to work. While they were at it, Marluxia started to plot a way to manipulate the keywielder to do what he wanted. They used Naminé, a girl with the power to control memories, to make Sora think he sworn to protect her from the Organization and then use him to defeat the other members. Marluxia ordered Vexen, Larxene and Axel to start luring Sora further into the Castle and make him fight the members, although they were instructed to take a dive. Plus Marluxia placed Vexen's Riku Replica as Sora's contender for Naminé. Although something was foiling Marluxia's plans... it seemed that Vexen was reporting their activities to Zexion and that could mean trouble to all involved in Marluxia's rebellion. After Vexen lost control over Riku's Replica, Marluxia started to manipulate him and telling him that he would report him to Xemnas, unless Vexen destroyed the keybearer. And so he did. Although he met his end by Sora's keyblade and was about to spill his guts, but Marluxia already anticipated that and sent Axel to tail Vexen and deal with him if he should try and tell Sora anything.
Seeing that Axel didn't fail on his task, Marluxia decided that he could be trusted. And so, Marluxia sent Axel to guard Naminé. But he didn't do what he was told and he freed Naminé who started to reconstruct Sora's memories... Larxene stepped in but got defeated and then Marluxia was all alone.
Marluxia confronted Axel about his betrayal, but he only shrugged and said that Larxene deserved to die because of her disloyalty and so did Marluxia. Axel attacked Marluxia which replied by attacking him and so the too started to spar, but they did not injure one another. Although, using his sneaky and manipulative way, Marluxia summons naminé in front of him and uses her as a shield. But Axel ignores it and was about to hit her when Sora came in. Marluxia manipulated Sora into thinking that Axel was going to kill Naminé and left him to take care of Axel. But it seems that Axel escaped just in time.
Marluxia entered his chamber and ordered Naminé to erase Sora's memories so they could recreate him, but Naminé refused. Marluxia's jaw fell when Sora told her to do so and even more when the Riku Replica attacked. Marluxia attacked both of them, but is destroyed. Although it wasn't really Marluxia but a copy of him. The real Marluxia was preparing himself for his battle with Sora. He merged with a Mechanic Nobody and then with an Angelic Nobody. But he was defeated...
Role Playing Sample: Marluxia sighed as he twirled his scythe above his head once before making it descend. He looked at Axel with his emotionless gaze and with a cold smirk he said,
"Holding a grudge, I see? That can't be good for you.", then he went to his usual stance as he saw Axel preparing to charge at him. Axel was really “angry” though after all that Marluxia did, who wouldn't? But fighting against another member and possible render him unable to do his job would prove counter productive. But words wouldn't cut it to stop the ranging Flurry. As Axel's thrown chakrams were thrown against Marluxia, he just smirked and teleported behind his peer. He whispered in his ear,
"I wasn't the one that killed my own companion in cold blood... How could you do that, you traitor?", he then laughed. When Axel summoned his chakrams back and tried to slice Marluxia, who phased back a few steps and took a swing with his scythe, although the blow was, in turn, blocked by Axel. The two were split apart by Saix who used his massive claymore to put a stop to it, not amused one bit. After one of Saix's boring remarks, Marluxia just smirked and said with an indifferent tone,
" I have nothing to apologize for. I did nothing wrong, he was the one that betrayed us and killed his own companions…", Marluxia looked at Axel who maintained the same pose as before. He was expecting a come back or at least a flying chakram to be thrown at him, but for some reason, Axel only dismissed his weapons and turned his back on the two.
Saix glared him and would probably start lecturing to the assassin about what happened in the past, Marluxia raised his hand and said to Saix,
"Spare me of your lectures. If I wanted to hear feeble accusations, I would've walked to Xemnas' chamber. I will not apologize for something I clearly did not. And if you have anything to say, by all means...", Marluxia smirked and tightened the grip on his Scythe. Saix simply sighed in reply and walked away, leaving Marluxia alone with his thoughts.
"Humph! Seems I am being monitored. Wouldn't expect anything else... Now. What to do, what to do?", Marluxia thought to himself as he smirked at Saix.
Questions/Comments/Suggestions? Nope, just glad to be here and can’t wait to start =).
