Keyblade Warrior[edit]
The Keyblade[edit]
Keyblades are mysterious weapons that come from the heart. Many Keyblade Masters have wielded these and see them as an important factor to the battle between Darkness and light. Keyblades are known for their ability to open any lock, as well as permanently lock anything shut. Long ago many Keyblade Masters fought a great war with these weapons to claim control over the original X-blade.
The Warrior[edit]
The Keyblade is a powerful weapon fueled by the heart. Some Keyblade Wielder's will take on the power of the Warrior, which focuses on attacking with it as any other weapon. Yet this particular blade will prove to be quite potent. More often than not, Keyblades are used for swift attacks to strike hard and fast.
Creating a Keyblade Warrior[edit]
As you build your Keyblade Warrior, here are questions to consider. How did you get your Keyblade? Did you inherit your Keyblade from someone? If so was it a teacher, or some other Keyblade Master who saw you worthy of inheriting their power? Did your Keyblade come to you on it's own? If so, what was it that made it come to you? Was it at a moment of great need, or did you perform some feat of heroism?
Why choose the power of the warrior with your keyblade over the power of the Guardian or warrior? Perhaps you've always enjoyed fighting? Maybe you've grown up in an enviroment where you needed to be strong to get by? Or did it just simply feel right?
Were you self taught with the power this weapon holds, or were you trained by a proper master?
