Keyblade Master[edit]
All living things are made up of three parts, a body, a heart, and a soul. It is in fact common for these parts to split and reform. The heart and soul can be removed from the body by processes like astral projection, and death. Bodies themselves are not very important. It is when the heart and the soul are separated from one another that things become problematic.
The nature of the soul is to give life and animate. When a soul is left alone it will seek out a body and bring to life an incomplete creature. Creating a Nobody.
The nature of the heart is to connect. When a Heart is left alone it will seek out other hearts to bond with. Because hearts are containers for light and darkness, this can sometimes result in a keyblade.
Keyblades are created from light, darkness, and the hearts of living creatures. They are extrodinary weapons capable of granting great power to their wielder and objects of great magical power allowing the unlocking of many things. Because Keyblades are made from hearts they desire to connect with the hearts of other living things and are slightly sentient.
Keyblade Masters are a rare breed almost always driven to the life of adventure, though some do retire. They are chosen by the Keyblade a powerful artifact and living entity deeply connected to all worlds. Some eventually learn to use the keyblade to create portals to entire new worlds beyond the planes. Keyblade masters rarely know why they are chosen and will thus usually adventure to explore the world or worlds looking for their purpose all the while shaping it with their deeds. No one really understands how the keyblade picks its chosen or it’s true motivation.

When making a Keyblade Master, Dexterity or Strength should be your highest ability score, followed by Charisma.

The success rate starts at 100 and decreases by 10 every successful drive change. If you roll under the success rate (For example if the success rate is 50 and you roll a 40) you are forcefully put into Anti form for the duration of your drive form timer and cannot prematurely end it. If you are forced into Anti form, the success rate resets to 100. If drive form Final is chosen, the success rate is instead 50 always. Also, willingly going into Anti form does not reset the success rate.
