Musing: games - Kingdom Hearts, Orgy XIII?

[wilderthan]

Puns about orgies over with... I've played KHI, CoM and KHII, but something I've never really been able to put my finger on is how to write any of the Organisation. I can see why people would 'ship Axel/Roxas, and I think I could probably write a decent Larxene, but most of them are really a mystery to me (including Axel and Roxas). If they don't have hearts, in the sense that they don't feel, why is anything -- other than perhaps filling that emptiness -- important to them? I read somewhere that each of them goes to extremes with something to feel as if they're real -- Larxene is sadistic, the gambling one gambles... I'm not sure where I read that, though. Roxas seems to feel things in the Twilight Town part -- what's that about, if he doesn't have a heart? Or is he just different because of Sora?

The point is, it's fairly obvious most of them fail to make an impression on me -- and I seemed to have failed to learn much about them in playing the games. How do you go about writing them? Or if you don't, can you give me any insight into their headspace?

*mourn* I leant my copy of CoM to a friend a couple of weeks ago. She takes forever to complete games, so I'm not gonna see mine for a while. She had my copy of KH for a year once. D: But, anyway, CoM makes complete sense now I've played KHII and then replayed CoM, I think, whereas before there were a lot of questions left unanswered.

Yeah, now that I've played KHII, CoM is coming together for me a lot more than it did before. And of course, now I'm connecting up things with KHII that I didn't before. :D
