ORIGINAL or CANON: Original
Series of Origin: Experimental Idea (Noko: A Heartless Tale)
What was the inspiration for them / do they embody a particular feeling or emotion?
The Inspiration: An original idea from high school, I honestly made it up as I played with my friends on youtube.
Feeling and Emotions: Noko is a Persudo Heartless. This type of Heartless can communicate and talk with others. He feels for those who cannot defend themselves, and his emotions are based upon how he interacts with other people. His basic emotions towards others are usually friendly and accepting. To those who wish to do him harm, at first he will try to reason but if that fails he will defend those who are targeted or himself.
To go into more details, let's get to the basics. Persudo smartness is to a degree of cognitive thinking only. They feel and show displays of emotions only to some extent. Becuase of this, they are important as a race because of the rare trait that they can talk and work as a community. True it is seen in the wild that normal Heartless under the influence of a heart of darkness would follow that only to death, but this also raises the fact it makes them simple minded. A Persudo's emotions and can feel things much like humans can because of something influencing them.And the fact they have a Heart of Heart. This adds a boost to their level of intelligence, which differs from mindless to full blown smart. But again, it's only cognitive thinking, as they can sometimes head back to their state of aggression if pushed too far to the edge, which means if someone were to unlock their state of ferals, they could revert to a sort of enraged state which is why Noko must control his urges.
A Pseudo persona is extremely different from a regular Heartless because they show emotions and feelings but to an extent.There is still the fact they still have a burning hunger for hearts. To control this burning hunger, they must first have a Heart of Heart. This is not a true heart, but a relic filled with a positive light that causes them to feel such emotions. These fake sort of Hearts for Heartless, are made from data and scraps of material that they carry. You might be wondering, how can they use this fake heart a control their hunger if in their nature they consume hearts and also control their feral impulses? It's what they are made of that causes them to become passive. The bits and pieces are no ordinary pieces, but pieces of scraped fragments of a bunch of items that have been touched by a strong magical presence or influence, which in the term to a heartless normally would not be able to use it being that it is not a real heart but a false relic of combined items and elements that are made up of positive energy.
But in the case of a Persudo who have Hearts of Hearts, it sustains the urge to feed off hearts entirely because of the fact they carry such a relic within them made of powerful positive light, making the gray line show. What is the gray line and why is it important to causing Heartless to become docile? A gray line is an invisible form of magical energy that is touched by a positive energy of pure light. This line taps into a Heartless's instincts and domesticates them so they can be talked to, but they still are Heartless in nature, so extreme care must be taken to fully domesticate them, as they still have fear impulses. As for the types of materials used are fragments of Elemental Pieces. Shards of Light Energy. Various materials of healing and magical properties such as Potions and Either to give flavor, and charms to give a magical boost to ensure they can control their urges, but again a Heartless is still a Heartless. It simply makes them smart but to an extent.
For Persudo, a life of intelligence is based on how powerful the Heart of Heart is depending on the materials used. In summary, they can think as a human. But still, hold that deep thirst for Hearts which is why it's important for the Heartless Avenger to watch out for these impulses in battle, because if he's pushed too far he may return to this aggressive state. In addition to such, there are two types of these Heartless that have been noticed. One being SemiSmart with half the capacity of the second one that they can only think on a basic level. And ImplantSmart, who are fully capable of cognitively thinking. Semis are your average intelligent Heartless that has had a boost of brain function because they display emotions from emotions only to a basic level They are only decently intelligent and cannot become Implants because when their basic way of thinking is changed by non-foreign ways, they revert back to their impulses.They cannot choose their own ways as can Implant and can still be manipulated.They do not have many emotions as Semi due because of their nature and usually are only able to control Heartless of smaller rank depending on how smart they are.These are more half smart and half hostile, and usually are a greater danger due to their increased intelligence but only a small bit.As for Implants, they are passive to a greater extent. They also have a higher based coordination and brain patterns of thinking then Semi.With skills of that of a human, because The Heartless was taught by somebody to become or had the intelligence put into them by a foreign source. They can make their own choices and choose what they wish and are hard to manipulate due to high levels of thinking.They do not fake emotions and really feel everything as a human can. However as Heartless are, they still have their hunger for hearts but when a gray line is introduced to them, they become docile. This does not work on higher ranking Heartless.

History: Noko Krimson Troshiro was your average human Bladesmith. Before he was one, he was a simple everyday shopkeeper who worked with Radiant Garden's trading committee. He unexpectedly arrived in Traverse Town when the world was shrouded in darkness.When the committee took an interest in his work of bladesmithing, he was told to make a strong weapon of light with enough power of light to defend Traverse Town from a strange and mysterious threat. They called themselves The XII Mushrooms. They are a cult group of mask wearing Nobodies. Who are these XIIs? Well, the story foretells that the roaming group of Heartless XXI Mushrooms were very rare and the perfect experimental idea because of their Implant intelligence to communicate with humans. A very destructive scientist who, like Ansem was interested in studying Heartless took an extreme obsession with them.
His name was Manifesto. He took a liking to them and wanted to seek powers to dominate the lands. Manifesto was named The Vampiric Duke of Death because he was from his homeland of Halloween Town as he terrorized it for quite a while. His luck came to an end when a brave warrior killed him in battle. But, the power of darkness of his heart and the fact he dabbled in dark forces caused him to re-rise as a Heartless. As he was testing his powers by capturing test subjects and absorbing their hearts. He figured out as he was a powerful heartless, he could become perfectly powerful if he absorbed other heartless. So he sought out the XIIS and had plans to make them powerful, then absorb them when they die. His plan backfired when they escaped their pods when they were supposed to be suspended in animation prior to 7 years in the future.
As for the group of XII Mushrooms, they proclaimed themselves Implant Pseudos due to the experiments which also drove them mad with power as they formed the Fake Council 13. Named after ORG 13. Each XII Mushroom has weapons, persona, and names from its elemental ability. To put it simply, each other has one element they mastered in and goes by that name, such a Number 1's name is Light because his main element is Light.True, the ORG saw them as copycats and nothing else. But when Number One was dabbling in powerful powers of darkness to control Heartless, this is what caught their attention that he could perhaps be a sort of vessel to becoming a somebody. Before they could send an agent, the ORG fell and failed to complete that task.Back to Noko and his weapons of light attempts, he failed in doing so the night he was attacked. He was transformed into a Heartless and was given a Heart of Heart to start out with, as his real heart was taken to be used for sinister things. A Heart of Heart can be bestowed by anybody who's hearts are strongly tied to positive or negative energy. Noko's exposure to light from making weapons of light eventually let his Heart of Hearts to grow to exceptional poetical, but nothing to make him better than a normal Heart of Heart. It is up to Noko to unite Humans and Heartless togeather as a whole race and stop Number 1's plans.
When a Boss Heartless is defeated, it will unlock the source of its true powers. So he must unlock it to release that gray line to domesticate the Heartless. This means he will control the Heartless or do anything op in that manner, it simply allows him to talk to heartless to try and communicate with them. If that fails, he will have no choice but to eliminate them, as they are still a threat. He hates violence but even his own kind who threaten innocent lives must be defended and protected. Usually, the controlling source is a Boss Heartless, who is almost always a SemiSmart and therefore must be destroyed without question. Once it's defeated, the Heatless can be talked to. However, some will refuse to talk and even continue to attack others.
As was his goal in life from that experience long ago He walks a path of a Heartless Avenger. At first, he hated what he had become, he resented it. But then, He noticed something. There was a lone Heartless Shadow, being bullied by some Nobodies, it couldn't fight on its own as it was struggling to keep up and fight with them. Noko wanted it to die, but something told him inside that it's wrong to hate something you've become and decided to intervene. He eventually came and rescued that Heartless, as he talked and trained with it, He developed deep feelings for the things he became, and that's why he seeks to pacify the Heartless, in order for the two races to live in harmony. Sadly, The two races of Heartless and Somebodies/Humans is already in a thin line, but it is possible to domesticate them with the gray line. Using his First and Last. A fake weapon of positive energy, he can unlock the gray line and communicate with Heartless only.
Current Primary Objective: Maintain The Outpost In Twilight Town And Help Pacify All Heartless To Help And Befriend Humans
Learning type: Visual and Verbal
Personality: Noko has the soul and spirit of a warrior of light yet in the body of a simple Heartless. He is more serious then he is fun at times, but it's because of what shaped him. As he wanted, he is to become The Heartless Avenger to fight against Number 1, and his evil minions, and docile all Heartless. He deeply hates violence and will only fight when absolutely needed. He cares for other's more than himself, and will honestly go out of the way or above to save a life. Seeing how he hasn't meet anybody is would be quite shocking to even hear a word come out of a Heartless, so he must take great care to how he speaks to a human.

Role Playing Sample: Noko knew that to get to something, you must give. To get at a certain demographic will take effort, but he was willing to work for his services and be allowed by Humans to save lives. His current mission as if he was just reborn what seemed like millennia ago, he and his fellow recruits have been on a certain agent of Number One. This was a Boss Nobody named Clear Blade The Sly. He was quite obviously a Samurai Nobody who was manipulating the Heartless to turn on the humans of Twilight Town. However, the debate is still on to if he had enough trust of the Humans to carry on this mission, so he asked the top heads of Twilight Town.
Whoever that may be to carry out his mission. It took some hard convincing, but he eventually gave way as to nobody else but a Heartless would do this job a Human couldn't, he happily walks to his recruits and tells of the good news. They were also given weapons to defend themselves and to prevent the loss of civilian casualties along the way. As he was just about to head out, he got word that there was another boss too... Noko grunts at the fact he had double the work. He knew this was going to be one of those days...
Questions/Comments/Suggestions?:Just happy to be approved, anything else needed just tell me!
