On Keyblades

Sora's got Oathkeeper--the physical representation of his bond to Kairi.  (And they haven't even shared a Paopu yet...) Oathkeeper's form may change a little if I feel like editing how that would look like as they grow older and closer and the bond between them strengthens. 

Riku's got Way to Dawn--the representation of a heart that once fell into darkness, but redeemed itself.  His Keyblade probably won't change until he gets over his dark past.  It's not like he still dwells on it regularly, but it's still there in the back of his mind haunting him. 

Roxas has got Oblivion--representing missing memories.  Yes, Roxas has all of his memories back now.  If someone else gets a change in Keyblade, it will probably be Roxas, because there will come a point in time where Roxas no longer is connected to all of those lost memories.

Kairi has Destiny's Embrace.  This represents her taking on the Destiny set out for her.  If she gets a Keyblade change, it will probably be around the time she takes her Mark.  I don't know, I'm working on ideas for that.

Xion wields the Kingdom Key because, at first, I just wanted someone to wield the Kingdom Key.  However, now I believe we are moving past that.  So why isn't Xion wielding any of the blades seen in Days instead? Well, those are more of representations of Roxas, not Xion.  She's not a copy of him anymore.  She's her own person.  Currently, the Kingdom Key represents the blank slate that Xion was given when she was rebuilt.  As her heart--now free of the entanglements and complications she had as an unstable replica--grows into whatever it will become, her Keyblade will change into something stronger.

SIDETRACK! If you want to see some really cool Keyblade designs, check out CBJ3 on deviantArt.  Some of the weapons that they design are AWESOME. 

Okay, back on track.... Ven's going to get a new Keyblade as well, about the time he goes for his Mark.  Same with Terra.  (When he redoes his Mark.)

Aqua will probably get a new Keyblade as well, while I'm at it. 

Funny story about Aqua and Terra though... they have a spare Keyblade--Master Eraqus' Master Keeper between them.  I'm not entirely sure the semantics of that just yet.  But, they have it between the two of them.  Aqua rightfully inherited it, but Terra has just a bit of Master Eraqus himself inside of him.  So... yeah... happy fun confidingness.  Thank you Master Eraqus. 

Oh, and on the subject of Keyblades, I believe Mickey's the only Wielder/Master I haven't talked about.  He still has Star Seeker, though he can switch to the Kingdom Key-D whenever he wants because he has both Keychains. He's also the King and can do whatever he wants.  His standard Keyblade is Star Seeker though and I'm not messing with that. 

Okay, enough about Keyblades now...
