??? (Data!Roxas) | Kingdom Hearts

Little bro!

[key_illusion]

Hey gurl heeeey

Let's first start off with the fact that Nina's the closest thing ??? has to a family, even if he doesn't think about the concept of a family very often. He treats her like a sister and a close friend. OOCly, I think the best scene that underlines their brother-sister relationship was after ??? woke up from his fight with Lea + canon update, and she told him that he should have come to her instead if Lea was bothering him & she'd talk to Lea. It was adorable even if ??? was still a little cranky at the time. He doesn't take well to being told to not hold his ground. But with the nightmares, ??? understands why Nina is so protective of him now and that it really does bother her that he'll disappear. \

He... really doesn't want her to get her hopes up though. He doesn't want to bring them down either. Right when he's at the point that he's slowly trying to cope with the idea that he doesn't have much of a future after Asgard. A much as he believes it's something he can't avoid, HE ACTUALLY ISN'T HAPPY WITH IT. With is something that's hard to deal with, but it's also something he doesn't feel he could share with Nina. Kind of like why he secretly decided to move to Odin to begin with. It's easier for him to cope and prepare in his own way.

Besides the seriously depressing stuff, Nina's always been the part of his life that's more or less normal compared to what he would have. (He probably wouldn't be as sociable as he is now.) He's also her secretly horrible manager-person. He'd offer to be her personal bodyguard too if the need ever arose. Not that he wouldn't be incredibly protective of her already...as seen by his internal flipping out at her curse.

Oh Euri he is so...confused about you right now.

Mostly it just revolves around the fact that she fell in love with Pyro, of all people. It doesn't make sense to him, and he's also worried that she'll betray him in some way to be on Pyro's side. Somehow, this didn't apply to Kaz or Vanitas because he always saw Euri to be a leash for them. With Pyro, he's not sure how he got her onto his side besides unrest against the gods. He's not happy about it because 1) Pyro is not organized or subtle 2) he has to worry about her trying to destroy the city that he wants to live in. If she does end up working with Pyro to work against the gods/wreck the city & he finds out, it won't be pretty. He wouldn't have any reason to trust her at that point, especially with Vanitas back. Even now, his trust in her has waned enough that he's been more snappish at her. That doesn't mean he's not protective of her still; he WILL protect her if she's in trouble, but at the same time, he'll hurt her if she indirectly hurts him. That's why he'd rather threaten her now so that she'll take that into consideration.

But besides his paranoia towards her, ??? does care about her as a friend. Losing friendships is a very sticky issue for him, and he'd rather watch her in case he can turn her around at some point rather than destroy their friendship. (Although he's rather good at fucking up friendships.) He still cares about her feelings even if they haven't been very close recently. For one, he's a little glad Vanitas is back because he knows it'll make Euri happen. He'd still go out of his way if she needed him too.

Oh Alice, he will always be loyal to you as your knight.

Although most of his connection (to him) comes from Sora's memories both of the real & data Alice, he's also trying to wrap his head around the fact that Alice is probably not the same one he knows. Which is fine. It's better actual because ??? gets to spend time with Alice as his own experience rather than through memories. If ??? didn't already know of her beforehand, he probably wouldn't be as friendly or have so much trust in her. (Sorry, Alice, but your knight isn't exactly the greateast person in the world.)

But he is all for taking on the knight role! He'd be devastated if she were harmed, so he'll always be willing to help & protect her. It's not just because of his role, she's his friend as well and someone who he feels comfortable being around.

'ello replacement-Blaise.

[key_illusion]

YOU DICK, I THOUGHT WE WERE LEGIT FRIENDS.

Actually, nah. I don't think that would bother ??? too much. It's not as bad as him worrying about becoming a replacement for Roxas, so he can handle being a replacement for others.

Besides that, lets start with the fact that ??? really wanted to punch Draco in the face for bothering Roxas in the beginning. How the heck did they end up as awkward awesome bros?

Well, I think it definitely has to do with ??? finding out about Draco self-harm tendencies/being suicidal & slowly piecing together all their similarities. Even if ??? doesn't have a huge secret death-wish now, there's still a lot that they've got going on that's the same. That's what really pushed ??? to thinking Draco's a friend (even if it was thanks to a curse). ??? could have gone his programmed route and slowly tried to teach Draco to handle his pain in ridiculous ways, but he's somehow gone the more normal person route in thinking that Draco's become someone he needs to watch out for, to be there for, and protect. That doesn't mean he won't try to do something ridiculous when he's having a not-sane moment, but he's more likely to handle Draco's situation with care & not being an unsympathetic douchebag. (Although, if things get really bad, he could easily put a bullet in Draco's head if Draco really gave up + to give him a temporary 'rest'. But ???'s messed up that way.)

That said, I feel like now that ??? knows Draco's position, he'd more easily tell him his own problems if he started to main-focus on them again. He doesn't want pity though-- I think that's one of things that keep his mouth shut. He knows that his position sucks hardcore, but he doesn't want to make anyone feel bad for him because of it. It's not how he works, but at least he feels that Draco won't visibly pity him for what he's been through & is going to have to face. That's why, if things get bad for him again, he'll probably go to Draco.

These feelings are so heavy, man.

BUT HEY, at least Draco's reminding ??? how to actually function more like a normal person. It's actually good because ???'s been distracting himself so much with the runic magic that he's sort of plateaued on his progress of having a more normal lifestyle. So yeah, learning how to be a better person and friend is pretty awesome.

[timaeus_testified]

[key_illusion]

Okaaaaaaay, letsee. Even though Dirk & ??? haven't interacted too much beyond runic stuff, ???'s thoughts towards him are more complicated.

Let's start off with that fact that ??? likes Dirk's mind. He's curious, knowledge-seeking, strategic, and relatively organized. He's looking out for the city's best interest even if he doesn't like the gods. (The same can be said for ???, although he can cause just as much havoc indirectly without caring too much.) ??? can trust in a mind like that, and ??? was more than willing to hand over his research even if he didn't know Dirk too well. YOU DON'T KNOW HOW RARE THAT IS, MAN. ??? has trust issues that could fly to the end of the universe and back. It also ties into the fact that ???'s expecting/trusting/hoping that Dirk will not misuse his research against the city and that he'll continue that research if ??? disappears.

But there's a few points that the nightmares brought up:
-Dirk has quite the interesting insecurities, even if they may be old issues. That doesn't really bother ??? because he knows he's messed up in the head too, but if he REALLY WANTED TO, he could latch onto those issues and really dig in. But he won't only because he sees Dirk as a valuable ally. And I underline ally because Dirk isn't exactly on ???'s friend list just yet. ???'s pretty horrible at defining what makes someone his friend (even if he has Roxas' memories), but he is interested in becoming friends with Dirk.
-Hal. Oh geez, Hal. ???'s not sure how to feel about Hal since it's A REALLY EASY SITUATION HE CAN ACTUALLY RELATE TO? But he's not sure if that was an accurate look into their relationship...which is sort of opposite to what he had with Roxas when he was around. ??? adored Roxas even if he accidentally fucked everything up for them multiple times. He's also a little confused with how Dirk saw Hal as a part of himself, but it does show that ???'s developed enough of his own individuality to see how that's somewhat wrong. If he didn't, he'd find it completely understandable/acceptable. But ??? would totally blow up at Dirk about creating & seemingly regretting Hal's creation if it ever came up again. That's an issue that would piss him off because it strikes close to home.

Honestly, if ??? wasn't insanely loyal to Namine, I'm pretty sure he'd have a truckload of issues to grill her on. She didn't exactly set him up with the greatest of lives or future, but he can't bring himself to hate her for it. Even now that he sees himself as being an individual rather than just data/a ghost/illusion, he's a million more times likely to bend over backwards for her than to turn against her out of spite. Maybe it's just a coding thing, who knows, but he's not really bothered by it either. He hates that his life sucks and he's not as comfortable of his fate as he used to be because of his growth. But he's not going to turn around and dump all the blame on Namine anytime soon. It's kind of unimaginable for him to do so.

That said, he'll rip apart anyone for you, Mother. :D Or die trying to save you (even if he's afraid of dying/disappearing now).

But yay, roommate time! He hopes she won't regret living with him and him randomly coming home at absurd times. He'll probably never tell her exactly why he invited her though. Him prepping himself for his disappearance is not...something he's willing to share with her anytime soon because he doesn't want to make her feel guilty.

??? & Kaworu haven't discussed anything recently, so ???'s not watching him too carefully. Kaworu does throw off ??? just because he's not really programmed for the situation of caring for others. He's grown into it and re(?)learned how to care for others, so he's not completely lost. When they do talk, he's more interested in finding out Kaworu's perspective than giving his own. He knows he has a lot of things to think about, but he's not interested in someone like Kaworu focus him too much on his issues now thanks to his mental breakdown with Lea. That said, he's also interested what kind of answers Kaworu ends up pulling out of other people.

[historyrabbit]

So what'cha think of him so far?

[key_illusion]

??? finds Lavi to be an interesting person, more for the fact that he offered to help with ???'s runic experiments more easily than he'd expect. He doesn't really care about the memory issue just because he has people like Namine who seem to remember everything + manipulate memories. It's also a little easier for ??? to trust Lavi considering he probably sees him on a regular basis thanks to work, so it's not like many people are invited into ???'s creepy old research center house.

JAAAAAAAAAAADDDDDDEEEEE

Thankfully for her, ??? sees himself more as an individual than he has in the past. He doesn't have a straightforward identity yet, but it's better than nothing. He's not looking to rely on her for help either since the last time he actually talked about some of his issues to her, she ended up reacting rather hopefully naive. ??? can't really handle that sort of thing cuz he's pretty darn cynical, but he's fine with her just being a good friend and having fun with him rather than her giving him advice about his issues. He's not really looking to be saved or fixed by her; her just spending time with him is good enough.

[samantha_grey]

I think she almost knows he exists right now. They've talked... once? And yet the two have a rather significant impact on each other.

[key_illusion]

I think the impact they have on each other is more unique than significant since their actions affect each other indirectly.

??? doesn't care much for Sam nor does he trust her. He's around as the silent tracker, and he's not willing to go beyond that in case he gets his friends under fire. It's optimal to keep himself as indirectly involved with her as he can. For instance, if she ever did find out who he is or what he looked like, he wouldn't want her end up accidentally going after Roxas if he returned. ??? realizes that Sam's evil side is a threat to the city, and he didn't care much for her comfort or her dignity when he advised the Tracker tattoo. It's much like if he thought he was a threat to the city, he'd want to be contained no matter the cost to himself. But even if he doesn't care about her, he's still going to be monitoring her.

[supurrior]

They've only had a bit of CR buuuuut...for her.

[key_illusion]

It's hard to say anything other than the fact that she's a thorn in his side. But it's not the kind of annoying he'd harass her over. (He can be a total douchebag if that changes, but it's highly unlikely.) As much as he could go back into the network and do a check on her, I don't think he'd deem it worth the energy. He doesn't see her as a threat, but he doesn't like being looked down either which is the real source of his annoyance.

[feathery]

Is Davesprite anyone besides the guy who butchered all that useful information ??? gave him in a guide, or.

[key_illusion]

Well, THAT DID feel like a foot in the face for ???, but he's sort of waved it off/tried to forget that it existed. And he's still playing guide to other newbies, so it's not like he's become too bitter about that.

BUT HEY GUESS WHAT: ??? likes to stalk things. Don't think he missed this.

But as much as he could and wants to poke at it, he's not going to. It hits way close to home considering his canon update brought him to the point where he's already completed his purpose. That, and he's had to deal with being a copy of Roxas. That doesn't mean he's going to forget this piece of information. I have no clue if it'll affect how he interacts next with Davesprite, but he's mostly not going to poke at it because he knows how hard it is to deal with both of those issues. At least Davesprite seems more sane compared him, which is a plus. It's not his place to pick at it either.........unless Jade becomes verbally worried about Davesprite around him. Then it becomes an issue for him. BUT THANKFULLY that hasn't happened yet, and I doubt it will. Seems like he's going to find out a little about his & Dirk's fight from his current log with Dirk, but I think he'll probably just talk to Dirk about it. Maybe he can give some tips/perspective to him.

As far as Davesprite's appearance, ???'s seen/has memories of much weirder things. Talking ducks, for instance. Also, there's KH!Cloud with his one wing, so it's not like he hasn't seen people with wings either.
