In a cataclysm known as the Nightfall, the worlds were almost completely destroyed by a harrowing surge of darkness.
In the shadows of the ensuing chaos a new group has taken shape. Led by an Aegyl named Kalos, the 11th Hour touts an esoteric knowledge of how to combat the darkness and restore the worlds. They might be the worlds’ best chance at survival; but nobody really knows enough about them to confirm or deny their claims.
On the brink of collapse, the universe holds its breath in anticipation. Of restoration? Of destruction? It is up to individuals like yourself to decide.

Ienzo
18-21 · Male · Heartless · ex #VI
Shadowmeld Ienzo has the ability to manipulate the Shadows in different ways. While at first negligible, it became stronger as Ienzo used his abilities and awakened as a Heartless. It lets him use the Shadows as a weapon, going so far as to change the form and solidify the Shadows. Note that he can't use more than two powers at a time, making his fighting heavily based on strategy and positioning. Due to his affinity for Darkness, his weakness is Light. He is healed less by Light-based healing spells and damaged more by the destructive ones. He also has a rather strong nose, similar to that of his Nobody.
Don't Stare With this spell Ienzo throws his shadows over the eyes of his enemies. This ability doesn't require channeling and is instant use, although it has a couple of posts cooldown. Due to its nature, it fades quickly, best used to distract, initiate, or flee. It's great for quick switches, but only lasts for a post.
Disappear! This is, first off, a channeled spell. Thus meaning only one other channeled spell can be active while he uses it. Ienzo touches a shadow and sinks into it, becoming almost ethereal; this means he can not attack nor can he be attacked. The shadow itself is the only thing tied to his lifeforce, for if it is destroyed Ienzo is violently forced from it. This ability is mostly movement-based as it allows Ienzo to travel quickly through all shadows connected to the ones he entered. Note that he cannot enter his own shadow, as it would disappear rather quickly- it would be the equivalent of maiming himself.
Fight Your Darkness Another channeled spell, Ienzo summons the shadows in a more offensive form. Specifically, he created a mimic of his enemy. This mimic, created entirely of Darkness, cannot cast magics but its offensive capabilities are great. It uses melee attacks at a very fast pace, although it cannot copy the style of the opponent- it can only use the fighting styles Ienzo knows. The mimic lasts for three posts and has a three post cooldown.
Summon Guardian! Not that he has a guardian, that's just a joke of his- Ienzo has the ability to use Heartless as weapons. Beings consumed by Darkness, he can contort a Heartless into its own peculiar weapon. His most-used one is that of the Neo-Shadow, creating a blade he once called Sin. Now he cannot say he likes to call it that, and has decided to call his weapon(s) Dawnline. If a lesser, Pureblood Heartless is nearby Ienzo can manipulate it. He can also hide the weapon inside of his form, which leaves tell-tale tattoos trailing down his right arm. Note that he does not need to hold it to use it as the blade, being a Heartless, can fight for him as he works his other abilities. Note that if he is not holding the weapon, he is channeling, and therefore can only use one other Shadow technique. If he is holding said weapon, he doesn't have to channel and can use two other abilities. He can take the Dawnline through the shadows with him if he uses Disappear!
Zantetsuken-Shade The Dream Sword. With their weapon of choice, a character can lash out cutting attack eclipsing the light causing severe damage a 3 post stun. If the character is too amateur to learn such technique it will have a heavy drawback on them resulting into full out fatigue. Recovery duration can be discussed with staff so it can fit any character. Only one character can have this ability at all times, and its a limit used once per thread.
With Ienzo's constant use of shadows since is awakening, he has become efficient at controlling it and has only experienced a stamina drawback with this spell.
powers
Weapon Dawnline: Ienzo's signature weapon, it's one of unpredictable nature. As the Heartless differ, so does the weapon! The Neo-Shadow creates a black longblade gilded with gold, a brilliant filigree wrapping around the hilt and handguard. Meanwhile, other Heartless have produced different results. Smaller Heartless, like Shadows, will produce smaller blades that are quicker to use. Larger Shadows, like Darkballs, will produce broadswords or greatswords. Other Shadows, like the Invisibles, will produce strange weapons like lances or halberds- in essence, each Heartless has its own nature when converted into a weapon.
Appearance: He'd like to think he was handsome. With slightly pale skin and dark hair, it makes his steely gray eyes almost unsettling behind the messy locks- he looks very much like his Nobody at six feet tall and around 120lbs. Bearing a rather slim frame, Ienzo loves v-cut shirts and has a tendency to wear a dark jacket that he looted from a mission early on in the Dark XII, one capable of removing his Dark signature. His outfit changes depending on the location of course- in Traverse Town one might see him in a sweater or turtleneck, while in the Pride Lands he would become a panther. He typically wears simple jeans, blue or black, although he changes his shoes often. From loafers to dress, he puts comfort first.
He has a slim face with pale lips and even paler cheeks, for he prefers night to day. His features are very suave, handsome, but he doesn't put them to much use unless manipulating somebody. Meanwhile, on the right side of his neck archs tribal tattoos that stretch past his collar. These were gained when he became a Heartless.
Since he discovered his own little Road to Dawn, his tattoos have taken on a new color: gold streaks up the black armsleeve, a literal gold as though leaves were imbedded into his skin. He can generally hide it with long-sleeved shirts to avoid suspicion, and his jacket hides the tattoos on his collarbone. On his chest, a small necklace has a wire-wrapped piece of olive branch- a gift from a friend who was traveling the stars.
Personality: At first, Ienzo was innocent for a Heartless. Despite being Dark, he hadn't had much experience with the world due to his fragmented memories of the life before. Ansem the Wise was the last thing on his mind. A curious Heartless, he was never afraid to venture forth to learn. Often one would find him in a book, and when he wasn't stuck in one he was joking with those around him. The Dark XII didn't offer much in the area of community however and his curiosity soon turned to boredom and mischief- his Dark side arose viciously when it came to this. Taunting people, chasing them, and generally scaring them, it was Ienzo's thing. He took interest in his mimic abilities and began to experiment with the Darkness. When the Dark XII initially went quiet, Ienzo gained a sense of independence- it was his first time out on his own. With this independence he found a love for working alone and fulfilling his own desires. Hearts came second to doing what he wanted. He eventually discovered that even within his destroyed and eroded Heart there was happiness. He spent so long trying to be happy that he began to feel, thanks to the help of a Viera named Note.
Ienzo is a sassy but friendly fellow who generally keeps his Darkness in check. Still, behind his walls there has to be a seething Darkness- a mix between his hatred for Xehanort and his forms and the sadness of losing Ansem the Wise. Despite his appearance, as he tries to seem calm and collected on the outside, he has walls set to hold back the burning fury within his form. Despite his attempts to find his Light, he knows that if he were to let his guard down the anger would consume him- Ienzo would prefer to feel nothing over that.

Radiant Garden In the beginning there was Darkness.
Ienzo was borne unto the world in a frenzy of confusion. The last memory he had was of his own death- the Darkness held no memories, nor a sense of time or space. His memories? Radiant Garden, a beautiful city, where he was free to roam under his adoptive father Ansem the Wise. It was here he learned the ways of the world- that life was a balance of light and darkness in constant motion, tipping the scale ever so slightly one way or another. It was his vast intellect that caught Ansem's eyes, and so the man made him an apprentice. The small child was a prodigy and was quick to grasp onto the feelings and emotions of others. With Xehanort's appearance he was overshadows by an older, more mysterious figure. Ansem's scientific mind could not resist the call this stranger brought and Ienzo discovered himself lost to his father.
In time this irked him and he worked hard to meet his father's standards. It was Xehanort who convinced him to talk to Ansem- to begin the studying of the Heart. Ienzo was too innocent at the time to understand the Darkness within the man and fell for his plans. The laboratory was made and the Emblem Heartless were born.
Ienzo was lost to Darkness, and when he awoke, he was older. Aging those nine years, he was now an adult, his memory fuzzy and somewhat inflected with the Darkness that consumed his Heart. His first month awoken he discovered Elaeus, the then-sandy haired teen Heartless, who introduced him to the Dark XII. Naive and inexperienced, he joined the Dark XII. It was in the dark citadel that he began to understand his new powers, that he learned how to use his body to fight off his enemies. He began a collection of data, ranging from the light to the Nobodies. For good reason, he kept the Dark XII out of it- if it were discovered that could mean danger for them. The Dark XII gave him a path, although over time he began to feel contempt for Ansem the Seeker. The man who destroyed everything, including himself, believed that what he was doing was still correct. Honestly, Ienzo felt as though his direction was absolutely wrong. It was there that he began to feel his independence.
The Dark XII went quiet and Ienzo found himself traversing the worlds, exploring with only one purpose: learning. His data began to expand. He took info from everything. One of his main targets was his own home, Radiant Garden, but the defenses were tight. It was then that Elaeus offered him a job: to obtain a fabric that would hide his Dark signature. Meaning he could get past the Claymores in Radiant Garden. Naturally, he jumped on it and in no time he was toting himself around the place, elated with joy and his sense of mischief. If only they knew he was poking around-
Well, they did. An encounter with the RGRUC showed Ienzo faces he hadn't seen for a very long time. They didn't remember him, that much was obvious, but he found himself disappearing after a small struggle. Little did he know, this would open up a gateway for him to talk to them in the future and establish his first step away from the Darkness. It was there that he met Note, a figure of great importance. The Viera knew what he was immediately as the smell of 'Mist' was inescapable from the earthen being's nose. Despite, the boy let Ienzo near and they soon became friends.
It was with Note's help that he first felt the flicker of happiness. Where there was once a void, there was a small ember of something good. He remembered something he had collected in his data. Sora had told the Seeker that even in the deepest Darkness there was Light. Was he regaining his Light? How was it happening? It was then that he began to once again study the Heart, his own. He wondered- did one need Kingdom Hearts to rebuild a Heart, as the Nobodies believed? Or could one rebuild a Heart by chaining it to others? It was an interesting notion and it led to Ienzo's current path.
He decided to take the path towards the dawn.
