PAST
History: Rod was only in his preteen years when the heartless started too invade his world. Determined to put a stop to it, he devised a cannon which would make use of a single heartless, using its dark energy to overload any other heartless. Unfortnatly, it proved too powerful. It stole the hearts of people all over the world, and when they were heartless it desroyed them. Rod was the only one from his world to survive being in the cannon's one safe zone.
It took him three years before he could build a gummiship with what was left and leave, and during that time he was alone, surrounded by what he had done. When he left, he arrived in Traverse Town, and began to desperate, futile search for any others from his world. It was for this reason he actually joined with Mog on his treasure hunting, and the two became fast friends...
While in Deep Jungle, they happened to come across Pike and company. Deciding to come along and help, Rod lent his supportive attacks to the main fighters with sucess. But it seemed there was one heartless survivor, who told his past to a member of the heartless named Azar. Azar blackmailed Rod with it, and so in exchange for not telling Rod would create plans for another, smaller cannon...
Luckily Pike came in to intervene, and to Rod's surprise his friends still accepted him even knowing his past. Together they all pressed on, until the massive battle in Hollow Bastion. Using his innate ability to create a cannon, the Faceless Stranger caused the cannon to explode for which Rod blamed himself. Mog pulls him out of it, but who knows now what will lie ahead for him when the heartless know what he can create...
The group presses on, travelling to Neverland. It is there Rod finds the gummiship he was politing hijacked by pirates and recieves a headwound that aggravates his "conscience." The voice pratically yelling at him unknown to the others, he is driven into a rare aggravated and angry mood. He recklessly charges forward to get out... and the group he was with gets nearly killed.
In the air they are attacked oncemore bu a heartless hoard. Rod, still smarting over words that passed from a very hurt Sora, is distracted. Azar however opens a portal to Deep Jungle, where Zadiel awaits and recruits him for a new group: Darkness. Strife appears, telling Rod he has made too many mistakes and hed be betetr off dead. But Rod holds his own, Strife's words fueling him. In Deep Jungle he also gets a pet, a red boa by the name of Nubishtu, or Nubi.
He returns to Neverland, breaking news of his... departure to Pike and the others. It seems his mind is bent on changing his life and making up for mistakes... and its uncertain whetehr he can be convinced to stay. Currently it is looking like he'll leave though despite Pike's heartfelt reply and Namine's encouragement. But in the end its up to Rod...
Who decides to leave and go with Darkness. After a heartfelt goodbye Rod rejoins Azar and Zadiel back in Deep Jungle where Azar asks him something quite... personal. Rod finally spills about the "conscience" hes been hiding from everyone, that which has plagued him from the day of the incident.
The group goes on a sucessful mission, and returns where Rod helps create a new variety of things and darkness gains a new member. But he also wanders to get himself a personal item somehow left there and nearly gets killed in the process. A device his father and him had worked on, Rod completed it to make a teleportation device for himself.
Azar meanwhile goes missing. Rod, concerned, and the other members of darkness split up to find her. He finds her... but not before Zadiel wanders into Hollow Bastion to search. The two feel something is wrong but by the time they arrive its too late and Zadiel is already gone. Now the question remians... what will become of darkness and how will he tell his friends?
Answer? Rod doesnt really, well,he tells Elie and with her help and Azar's everyone gets to know the final trusth. Zadiel is dead and gone. Getting ready to leave after Darkness bows to live on in Zadiel's name, hes stopped by Elie who for some reason keeps pleading with him not to leave just yet. So, comprimising, he tells her he shall make her some cookies before going. Over baking and leftover cookie dough, they begin to talk about things.
Hmmmm... things move on and during the final battle Rod confronts the one who ordered the ehartless assault on Gaea, Strife. Rod through sheer determination wins the battle, but not without cost. Strife shears Rod's soul with black energy, burning it...
Rod gets a keyblade from Riku, which becomes the keyblade Gizmo as well. But his body and heart are left scarred. He finds heartless abilities at his diosposal, but the more he uses them, if he pulls from it, the dark purple tatlike markings now upon him start to writhe and grow and he looses a bit more. His goal is to find a cure...
He takes to travelling and whatever Mogs whims carry them. And for now that means a small bead and breakfast...
Thoughts On (Borrowed with permission form Croccy)
Thoughts on...:
Mog: Best friend in the whole world. He can be loud but he sticks by me. He can also be a bit perverted and treasure obsessed...
Elie: *Blushes* She always makes me smile, something about her is just wonderful in every way. I get kind of embrassed and tongue tied for some reason though, so I know I must look like a big idiot sometimes to her. You know, I kind of miss her and the others...
Pike: A leader in every way, he cares deeply for everyone in the group. I just hope my leaving didnt hurt him too bad... I wonder how hes doing anyways?
Griff: Wow... how is it she can swear so much? It shouldnt be possible... but shes a good fighter and strong in heart. I bet by now shes made everyones ears bleed!
Namine: A powerful healer, she seems always willing and ready to help out.
Zadiel: There are times when I still wonder about her, but she has lied her trust in me and so I trust in her. I do feel sorry for her though for all shes been through. But at least now... its over for her. I hope she finds peace and rest...
Azar: Her courage amazes me, standing through the blindness. I hope one day she regains all that she has lost and finds her way.
Norris: Hes a bit impatient it seems, but I like him well enough. He doesnt let many see much of him, though lately he seems to be relaxing a bit.
Faceless Stranger: I dont know what to make of this enemy, but one thing for certain hes one to watch out for for just mind games alone...
Aero: A pain to fight... how can anyone be that powerful I wonder?
Vivek: Theres something... not right about him and I hope Griff sees it soon or else the consequences I shudder to think about.
Morgaine: Talk about psychotic... where does one even begin? She is insane...
Strife: I will prove him and his words wrong... and in the end Ill show him I wont die. He will choke upon those words one day I am certain...
Lira: Sometimes shes nice and sometimes shes mean. Dual-sided, but then who isnt?
Maes: Hes a mysterious one, but a very skilled fighter. And he seems a bit troubled... I certainly hope he one day finds his way. Maybe, it seems, he will find it with Lira?
Alex: I only caught a short glimpse of him but he gives off a rather... creepy sort of vibe I guess? Its like hes always hiding something. Hes reutned now and joined Heartless, so perhaps I shall get to know him better?
Sora: Sora er... doesnt like me. Scratch that, he hates me. I wonder if he'll ever forgive me... and he seems not to take injuries very well... Ah well. If anything, my absence will prove well for him.
Reya: She seems to do a lot of things for love, and ive got to admire her at least for that.

Every time I look in the mirror
All these lines on my face getting clearer
The past is gone
It goes by, like dusk to dawn
Isn't that the way
Everybody's got their dues in life to pay
Yeah, I know nobody knows
where it comes and where it goes
I know it's everybody's sin
You got to lose to know how to win
Half my life
is in books' written pages
Lived and learned from fools and
from sages
You know it's true
All the things come back to you
Sing with me, sing for the year
Sing for the laughter, sing for the tears
Sing with me, if it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow, the good lord will take you away
Yeah, sing with me, sing for the year
