Here are (hopefully) all of the major original characters for "Heart of the Realm", my planned-to-be-massive Ansem Seeker of Darkness fanfic biography. I put this list together because I intend to draw them all.............someday.

Only problem is my drawings (not my technical patterns) really suck these days. And it is no fun. ^{_{The better I've gotten at 3D arts, the worse I've gotten at 2D arts.}}

But what's an OC without a face and costume?

Every single one of the above characters is my creation and my ©. And a lot of the names themselves are my invention as well, so check with me before you borrow any unless you know for sure where I got it from. (I can't believe my bro had never heard of The Hound of the Baskervilles!!)

Google Translate, behindthename.com, Wiktionary, and thesaurus.com are seriously awesome tools for character naming. NO MORE SLAMMING RANDOM KEYS!!! And YAY for names that actually mean stuff!!!

Note: Xenohart the Conqueror has no relation to Nomura's 'Xehanort family', simply what's a proper KH without a new Xehanort knockoff?


Someday, after my two dream novels are published, and maybe then some, I'll probably hack and slash away at this story to remove all of the Final Fantasy and Disney elements, then fill in with tons more original stuff so I can publish it. Tricky thing is, that would mean I'd have to ditch the star character! As it stands for now, here is my ultra-dense outline:

Heart of the Realm, the life story of an incredibly unlucky boy with an equally incredible destiny. Chancing to meet such colorful people as Captain Nemo, the White Witch, and the Swedish Chef, Prince Ansem grows up with dreams of becoming a scientist until a powerful curse forces him to take his brother's place as king of their small world. The kingdom thrives under Ansem's reign as he continues to dabble in energy research, until he uncovers a conspiracy behind the founding of SOLDIER and is forced to face the tragedies of his youth. Trying to keep his focus on matters of state when all he wants is to learn about the natural world leads him to ponder more and more about human nature. These thoughts come to a head when he meets a young master-composer with a very disconcerting muse; So begin the Ansem Reports. After Ansem is defeated by the keyblade master Sora, he returns to his homeland to reconsider all of his theories. Finally getting it right, Ansem successfully creates two human hearts from scratch, Imber and Lutum, that take the forms of a small boy and girl. The kids escape, and are found by an enigmatic ex-SOLDIER who trains them in the art of dual-wielding. Ansem also learns how to make authentic keyblades from scratch, and offers one to Riku in exchange for a personal favor. Meanwhile, Darkness still exists in peoples' hearts, and evil forces gather to try and further their own interests, as always. Riku, Imber, and Lutum have many exciting adventures, but wonder why the task has fallen to them to protect the universe. Ansem, living as a hermit, is tested again and again by the ghosts of his past: old acquaintances, unfinished business, and dreams. Eventually, he gets the message.
