KH-Reopened: Yorrick

Name: Yorrick
Alias: Yori
Age Range: 18-20 yrs
Height: 6'0"
Weight Range: 130-140lbs (light for flight purposes)
Orientation: Straight.

Weapon: 4 butterfly knives. Longer than average blades, reaching about 6-7", not including handle. 2 knives are straight, normal knives. 2 are slightly curved feather-shaped, sporting this colorful look: [link]

Items: Most items he carries appear as cards known as Magnus for easy carrying. Just like in the game Baten Kaitos. Knives (hidden on his body), twine, the net he excuses as fashionable, a camera, a small notebook, pepper powder x4, lock picks x5, a page from a book of knowledge (hidden on him), and 39 blank cards.

Abilities/Attacks

<sub>Sleight of Hand: He's not much of a fighter, but he's quick with his hands. Is very good at taking things out of people's pockets or off their being without being detected. Also, can draw and ready a knife in almost an instant.

Aerial Ace: Has been flying just about all his life, so he's very well versed in air maneuvers. Yes... barrel rolls.
Note: His wings of the heart are out of sight 90% of the time you'll see him likely. He walks or takes transportation more than he flies. Just about everyone in his world has wings, but once seeing more people don't have them, he keeps them hidden as a possible ace up his sleeve.

Lock Pick: After being caged up by a certain set of scary monsters... he's learned how to unlock any physical lock with limited items. Not so keen with numeric pads and digital locks though.</sub>


Will like to seek someone out who can teach him how to better himself on a battle field. Right now... he sucks. Has potential to learn magic and better fighting moves.

Home World: Opu, the Waterfall Village. Located on the floating island of Anuenue. (From the game Baten Kaitos, Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean)

Personality:
On a normal front, he's quite full of himself and confident in his abilities. He's always looking for a way to better his skills and his wallet. Anything he gains is usually spent nearly immediately though...so waiting only a few hours can mean the loss of items. Behind that is boy barely learning to be a man who is desperately trying to remove his family's situation.
> Claims he's a ladies man, but has never had a girlfriend. Also claims he likes older women, when any cute face attracts him.
> Has no problem pulling new acquaintances into his misdeeds.
> Is one to repay debts and offer favors.
> Is uncomfortable around guys he thinks are better looking than him.
> Likes to accept challenges...don't expect him to always play fair.
> People watcher for multiple reasons.
> Homophobic? Hasn't been exposed much to this, and may freak out if a guy hits on him. Also confused when seeing same-sex couples together.

Goals:
>Explore as many worlds as he can.
>Break the curse on his family somehow.
>Take pictures of every heartless, nobody, and monster he comes across. (per request of his little brother)
>Discover how to become a high level Nobody within 2 years time.

Weaknesses:
The cold. He's lived in tropical weather all his life, so cold climates are very new to him and he doesn't know what to do to bring his core temperature up half the time. Hand-to-hand combat on ground, as he's not used to fighting off much. (much better at dodging and running). Has a very hard time not accepting really stupid challenges.

History:

There's been legends about the 'bluebird of happiness'. Many had searched out these creatures, and one God finally found it. Yorrick's ancestors attracted the God because of their bright blue wings, and after foolishly being tricked into some kind of agreement, his ancestor signed away the entire family for a forgotten favor. Now when they reach the age of 20, the God claims them as his new bluebird and turns their happiness into his own. His father was the most recent victim, after a near 20 years of never feeling joy or accomplishment, he ended himself. His mother is now acting as a temporary replacement in return that Yorrick can have 2 more years before he must take up his role.

Yorrick doesn't believe the God will let go of his mother even if he took her place. Since she took his place, he's been looking for some way to release her and his entire family from the God's hold. Either putting them on the same level as the God, finding a new source of eternal happiness, or a way to slay the God once and for all. He thought he could find the answers on his own world with no luck. After a chance run-in with Bixatas and Dranaex, he was opened up to the possibility of looking in other worlds.

He left his 16-year old brother in charge of the house, with his best friend Yulf and his family to help as he left Anuenue. What none of them know is Yorrick's final plan if everything fails. In two years time, if he can't find a way to severe the God's hold, he will look for a way to become a Nobody like Bix and Dra were. It would be his big 'fuck you' to the God, as he'd rather get rid of all his feelings than only have his happiness taken away. From there, he will continue to seek a way to uncurse his family.
