History/Background: Toban Drake was born in Raidan Garden, back before the heartless came. Back then Toban was still a very cheerful and happy child, not the quiet cold teenager he is now. During that time he would often visit the dojo of an old master swordsman whom he called Tora-sensei after school. Tora-sensei took our young toban under his wing, teaching him the fine art of swordsman-ship.
Over the next six year he grew more profeicent at the deadly skill. Then one night as if from nowhere a dark vortex opened in the sky, and the heartless poured through. Toban had been training at the dojo late when the small black creatures, attacked. Dispite his best efforts Toban was quickly overrun. Then nothing. Nothing but the sheer blackness that was now the heart of Radiant Garden. All around him where those who had too been ovecome by the darkness. One by one their hearts where ripped from their bodies. Soon the immense pressure began to squese his chest. From the darkness came balck tendrils that impaled themselves inhis torso and began to pull. Slowly and painfully his heart began to emerge from his body.
Toban began to loose conciousness, but then he remembered something that Tora-sensei had tought him. To remain strong and keep ones mind clear no matter what was happening, no matter the circumstances. Toban focused. slowly thourgh pure force of will toban was able to retract his heart back into his body. The great pressure lessened and the tendrills of darkness return from whence they came. And in a brilliant flash of white light it was gone. He was gone.
The next second he woke up by the main gate of Traverse Town. Toban was now one of the few to have witnessed their world fall to the darkness and not be taken with it. Toban found his way to a local item shop run by three young duck brothers whos names where Huey, Dewy, and Leuie. Toban was able to get a job from them helping clean the shop. After a few weeks of work, news had arrived that Radiant Garden had returned, but it was not the same. It was infested with heartless. Soon afterwards word came that a young boy named Sora, who had been returning many of the fallen worlds to the light had finally freed Radiant Garden. And at the same time a local engineer named Cid had discovered a way to travel between the worlds. A few days later, a massive exoudus of people who wanted to leave Traverse Town and start a new life as well as those who just wanted to return to their home land.
Toban however did not follow. Toban had sinced learned that since his heart had been exposed to pure darkness it ws now partaily infused with it. He was now able to fire blast of dark enery from his palm and from sheilds of energy around himself. Also having befriended a moogle who was a master at forging weapons durring his time in TraverseTown. He was given a special blade, forged form two serinity crystals and an orichalum, that worked along with his powers. And so Toban set off on his own journey thourgh the worlds in hopes of finding himself and ridding all worlds of heartless.
Role Playing Sample:The cool wind blew pastToban as he surveyed his old home from atop one of the mighty cranes that dotted the city. It almost brought a tear to his eye when he saw what his bueatiful Radiant Garden had become. A hollow shell of it's former glory. It was befiting of the name which the townspeople had once called it "Hallow Bastion". But those same people where right now working to restore the city to become something even greater and more gorgeous than it had once been.
Toban shook his head of these thoughts, he was here on important business, and he only came up here to get a better view of the area. This was the first time since it's fall to darkness that Toban had been to his home world. He ahd been hunting the heartless from world to world since they had begun to reappear in the worlds whos hearts had been locked by the keyblade weilder. Speaking of which Toban had also been looking for this Sora. Not to hurt him, but to challenge him to a duel. To see whose blade was better and who had greater skill in combat.
"HEEELLLPPP!!!"
Tobans thoughts where broken by this sudden outburst. He turned his attention downwards to see a youn women was being cornered by about four Armored Knight heartless. Toban sighed. They never stopped did they. He leaped from his spot upon the crane letting gravity take over. He gained speed. Toban outstreched his left arm. A bubble like shield of dark energy fomed around the terrified women. Then from his right hand a blast of black energy fired down at the heartless. A lagre explosion happened. Toban fell into the dust that his blast has stirred. When he landed on the ground he drew his sword Black Orchid from his back. When the smoke cleared Toban saw that he had only destoyed one of the four heartless. HE frowned. His dark blast where losing their punch he would need to pick up his training.
Toban shot off at full speed a the heartless infront of him. He twisted on his heels and sturck slicing the creature in two at the waist. It disapeared into what appeared to be a black vapor. The other two attacked. Toban flipped back to avoid the strikes. His shoes skid across the concrete as he slid backwards. One of the two remaining heartless attacked him from the front while the other jumped to come at him from the top. He charged at the one on the ground. He jump onto its head and lept up at the one above. He thrust his blade at it impalingit through the gut. This did not defeat it though. The one who Toban had used as a trampolean jumped up to join the party. Toban flipped over the implaed heartless in mid-air so that he was above them both. He placed both feet on the heartless benathe hims' chest and pushed down, freeing his sword and sending heartless crashing int the one comeing at him from the ground. When the both hit the ground he streched out his left had again and fired another dark blast. This time the explosion was the rigth size. Showing that the blast had vaporized the heartless.
Toban landed softly on the ground below. He turned to the women he just saved saying "You should probally head home now." She followed his advice and quiclly hurryed back to the city. Toban turned to see that he still had a good view of the town from here. He sighed again. "Suppose I'd better head into town now. It's starting to get dark." He looked around to be sure there where no more enemies in the area. Then turnig towards the city he sped off.
