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.

It's Dilan. :u
Name: Dilan
Nickname: The Whirlwind Lancer, Xaldin, The Whirlwind Guardian
Age: 30
Gender: Male
Species: Human
Being Type: Somebody
Position: Lawful Neutral
Appearance: Dilan looks to be in his late 20s to mid 30s, and is most noticed for his dreadlocks pulled back in a ponytail, as well as his sideburns. Eyes of light purple are remnants from when he was a Nobody, but other than that, he wears nothing to suggest that he was otherwise once The Whirlwind Lancer. His old guard uniform is now his outfit of choice, signifying his ties to Radiant Garden, as well as denying what his Nobody did. Other than that, the most notablefeature is his spear. It is rumored that he kept his Organization cloak, however, as it does have some use to him...
History:
((His history as Xaldin will be in italics))
Long before the man that was once Dilan worked under Ansem the Wise, he lived in a small house on the outskirts of Radiant Garden, the only child of an impoverished couple. His father worked guard duty for the castle of Ansem the Wise, and his mother ran a small shop in the square, though it didn't make much business. As he was raised, his parents slowly and surely began to near losing their home, but they fought to do whatever they could to keep it, so their son could grow up in the best way that he could. At age 4, he was sent to school, where he began to learn that there was much more in life then his simple home, simple parents, and his simple life, and this came as a shock to him
Throughout these years of school, he learned a great deal, and performed rather well despite his not so favorable upbringing. He also managed to make friends rather easily, though they would sometimes cause him to get into trouble. Despite all this, his parents were very proud of him, and were able to breathe sighs of relief upon his good fortune. Over time, the business began to get better for his family, and they managed to afford a house in the city, where they soon moved.
Dilan, however, had started to misbehave more, and caught the interest of a few older children. He had angered one by stealing something of theirs, and they turned their focus upon him. One day, as he was walking to school, they cornered him and threatened him physically. This abuse led to him discovering his affinity for the wind, as the ones he had angered were suddenly buffeted by a sharp gust. This caught the attention o his father, and he began to train as a guard alongside his schoolwork, under request of Ansem the Wise himself.
Skip forward a good ten years, and we find Dilan where he was in Birth by Sleep, guarding the castle alongside Aeleus, his childhood friend and fellow trainee. Over the years, his father had eventually retired, and both his parents had passed away from an unknown disease. With mastery of his lance and a hold on his wind powers, he guarded his master, Ansem, from the threats of those who would want him gone and, at one time, the Unversed. In doing that, he met the Keyblade wielder, Ventus, though he would not know of this until told by Even later on. Other then that event, his guard duty was rather monotonous.
However, the arrival of a man named Xehanort changed his life permanently, and not in a good way. Upon this man’s arrival, he joined him in experiments with something called the “Door to Darkness”, and watched as the other “apprentices” of Xehanort fell, until he was the third to last to fall into darkness. As the black, raw power of darkness overtook him, both his Heartless and Nobody were formed.
Enter Xaldin, number III of the Organization. He awoke in The World That Ner Was, still feeling like Dilan, but a little different somehhow. Over time, he eventually found the original “apprentices”, as well as a handful of these other people Xehanort called “Nobodies.” Each of them, in an act of sacraficing their past and humanity, took on new names, and formed Organization XIII. Though Xaldin didn’t know why Xemnas, the newly renamed Xehanort, wanted to form this, he still faithfully served the white-haired man.
He worked the normal recon and Heartless elimination missions for quite some time with the Organization until Roxas showed up, then going with Roxas on multiple missions to Beast's Castle. Xaldin took an interest in the Beast's situation and particularly in the rose. He realized that it was valuable to Beast, and proceeded to meet with Beast, increasing his anger and rage. He hoped to infuriate Beast to the point where the Beast's heart would be engulfed in darkness, creating both a Heartless and Nobody.
But his plan was ruined when Sora first stepped into Beast's Castle. The Keyblade master took out everything Xaldin threw at him, even the Dark Thorn Heartless he had painstakingly worked to find. But, not giving up, he proceeded to steal the rose when Beast and Belle planned to have a romantic dance. Chased by Sora and company, he went to the outskirts of the castle, setting the rose as a trap for Belle, which worked wonders. He captured Belle, and forced Beast to choose between the rose and Belle. Beast chose Belle, and Xaldin was about to let her go when she hit him in the ribs and took the rose, running behind Sora and his group. Xaldin, extremely angry, summoned his lances and attacked the group. But he lost the battle, fading into the darkness.
But somehow, Xaldin was able to return, appearing in The Castle That Never Was. Xemnas gave him the choice of staying with the Organization or leaving. Xaldin chose to stay, once again faithful to Xemnas. And now he works with the Organization, once again trying to help them with their goal of gaining Kingdom Hearts. Xaldin took up his old interest in Beast's Castle again, this time studying the Heartless that showed up there and trying to find the source of the rose's magic. He didn't have to worry about running into anybody for the castle was vacated. So, due to that, he spent most of his time there, away from the Castle That Never Was.
Recently, Xaldin has abandoned Beast's Castle for a new interest: prisoners. He has captured Crystal, an undine, which he plans to experiment with, and has also encountered another person, Onyx, whom he let go as an experiment. Also, Xaldin has acquired the Aeon Bahamut as his servant, after killing its Summoner and holding his heart hostage. In addition, the Organization began laying siege to Destiny Islands, intent on taking the world's heart. The world fell, and many after it, but Xaldin found himself succumbing to an unknown enemy, facing his defeat in the mysterious Castle Oblivion.
With his defeat at the castle, Xaldin found himself returned to his human form, back in Radiant Garden. The memories of his wrongdoings as a Nobody sat upon him like a burden, and he found himself leaving his other revived comrades, taking to wandering the city. Eventually, to help distract him from his sins, he was sent to Twilight Town, to assist those who needed it and help fight the Heartless. Still, he seeks to repent for his sins, and wash the darkness away from his heart. He has adopted the moniker "The Whirlwind Guardian".
Current Primary Objective: Repent for his wrongdoings under rule of Xemnas and the Organization.
Learning type: Logic and interaction
Personality: Whereas Xaldin was cruel and cold, Dilan is caring and warm to others, expressing a desire to protect and serve the light. He shares traits such as cunning and a sharp tongue, but the cruelty which existed before has been replaced by regret and grief. Regardless, he finds himself making allies easily, and will go out of his way to protect those weaker than he is. His ultimate goal is to wash any darkness that was left in his heart, and he feels that protecting the worlds will help him do so.
He still uses his tactic of getting in the enemy's head, but moreso as a way to best them in battle, instead of manipulating them.
Home World: Radiant Garden
Natural Affinities/Abilities/Skills: Dilan's spear fighting is of a master's level, and though he's long since abandoned his Organization ways, he has found that the wind still answers to him. Because of this, he is still capable of Wind-based magic.
Aeroga - Strong winds surround Dilan, and he is capable of using them to strike at enemies, knocking them off balance, or to defend himself, deflecting both blade and spell. Though he is constantly surrounded by the magic in battle, he may only do one of these actions a round.
Wind Spears - A sort of homage to his old weapons, Lindworm. Dilan calls forth 6 spears made of wind so concentrated it is nearly solid, and thrusts them out around him, in 6 directions. He has ful control of where these will thrust, and can thrust multiple ones in the same direction if desired. Any enemy who comes into contact with a spear will find themselves knocked back a considerable distance, as the wind will channel at the point of impack.
Dragon Talon - Dilan's limit break. When threatened with loss in battle, his winds surrounding him pick up to be stronger, and he is capable of floating instead of running, allowing him better mobility and dodging. He can expend all this extra wind energy into one throw of his spear, enhanced by the wind, to strike at an enemy. Though not always lethal, this can deal a substantial amount of damage. Usable only after 3 rounds, and has to recharge 5 rounds.
Limitations/Drawbacks: Dilan's biggest drawback in battle is enemies with immunity to his wind magic. Any enemy who is hard to knock back, or has a hard defense to break, will give the Whirlwind Guardian a problem. If this is the case, he is reduced down only to fighting with his spear.
Passive:
Heartborn Tempest
Weapon: Wyvern - A single spear, made of sturdy metal. Shifts from blue to violet hues, with the heart motif of Radiant Garden guards present.
Role Playing Sample: ((Using Xaldin's, since this is a profile converted from my old Xaldin profile.))
Lightning flashed across the sky of Port Royal, and rain poured down as the monsoon hit the island. Most of the people had found refuge inside the buildings of the pirate's haven, save the occasional drunk or fool who would attempt to find a new refuge. However, another being stood outside, watching over the small town from the concrete walls of the hangman's square. As the thunder and lightning ravaged the sky, his cloaked silhouette could be seen, the two tassels on his chest waving in the wind.
Xaldin was simply watching over the small port, his mission simple: recon, no casualties. He had jumped around the town for a while, his manipulation of the wind keeping him safe from the incoming storm. As he watched, his sharp eyes kept a lookout for Heartless, that scourge that he was sent to find. However, he had found none at all in the few hours he had been here, and he was feeling a little...bored.
The Superior said no casualties...perhaps if I started a little chaos...
With a wave of his hand, the winds intensified at a rather significant scale, and he watched in satisfaction as parts of buildings began to come off, and the hurricane force winds caused those left outside to scatter in fear. A small smile tugged at the edge of his mouth, and he watched as several creatures appeared from darkness. The Heartless.
My work here is done. Unless...
Another wave of his hand ripped a black hole in the fabric of space, and he stepped through it, appearing before the Heartless that had appeared. They turned towards him, but had no time to response, for each one received a spear through the face. More and more appeared, ones that were more powerful than the ones he had just taken out. Once again, a smile threatened to distort his face, and he made short work of those ones as well.
So my theory was correct...at least here, the Heartless will send reinforcements that increase in power. I believe that I have the information Vexen was looking for.
Another portal opened behind him, and he seemingly fell into it, the dark energy taking him from the port to the home base of the Organization, The World That Never Was. His boots clicked against the white floor, and he turned on the spot, his cloak flaring out behind him. He walked into Where Nothing Gathers, and used his air powers to float up to his chair, his hood rising over his eyes. Though there was not a meeting planned, he enjoyed to come here and mull over his thoughts. Now, he shut his eyes and folded his hands, as he reviewed his mission. He had gathered some new intel about Port Royal, but nothing particularly important. However, the Superior seemed to want all of the information he could get, and he was rather curious as to why. As he opened his eyes, he suddenly stood and opened a portal near the wall, turning to enter it.
It was time to go home and figure out those unanswered questions that had been on his mind.
