Kingdom Hearts Legacy: Twisted

''What would you do if your nightmares came true? What would you do if it was all up to you? Would you fight? Would you not? Would you give up and drop? Heroes are not born into this world heroes; they are made through extraordinary circumstances.''

- Stylia, during the Kingdom Hearts Legacy: Twisted teaser trailer

A Keyblade does not a hero make.

Heroes are not born.

What if...there had been no Saule? Then there would be no Xaelus. What if there were no Aiden? Then there would be no resistance. What if there were no troisnyxetienne? No Xiggie? No Xahno? No Axane? No Delacroix? Then there would be no La Lutte. What if none of these things had been? What if Kami and Xelot had simply...won? In the relaunch of the old Coalition Chronicles project, Xelak, Inc. and Saule Productions once again return to the realm of despair, where there is no standing against the iron-fisted rule of Kami. Citizens are either subservient or subjugated, and everywhere you go, evil reigns. Mickey is sealed deep within Disney Castle, known now as Remnant Citadel. Kami and his Nobody, Xelot, possess all known Keyblades and all the means of creating them. The situation seems hopeless.

It is into this situation that a Nobody, one who otherwise would have had a fulfilling but brief existence, is created.

Background & Demographics
The World of Legacy: Twisted is dominated by class tension and racial prejudice, sponsored by Kami's tyranny. If his subjects are too busy hating each other, who will unite against him? There are six main humanoid races in Twisted:

Verlux: Scientific name Homo sapiens verlux. Pronounced "Ver-lucks." Adjective "Verluxian" (Ver-loo-shee-an). A race of average height, with slightly tanned skin. Culture highly values honor and propriety. Males tend to be regarded by other races as "effiminate." Fiefdom of Verlux, their home territory, composes approximately 25% of the old Disney Kingdom.

Brandor: Scientific name Homo sampiens brandor. Adjective "Brandorian." A tall race, muscularly built, with varying skin tones. Males placed above females in cultural heirarchy, but females are dominant in the home. Known to be excellent soldiers. Dukedom of Brandor, their home territory, composes approximately 32% of the old Disney Kingdom.

Alkemae: Scientific name Homo sapiens alkemae. Adjective "Alkemayen." Slightly shorter than average height, with pale skin. The only race with the natural ability to use alchemy, an indigenous technique blending science and magic. The Confederation of Alkemaja, their home territory, composes approximately 20% of the old Disney Kingdom.

Nervissa: Scientific name Homo sapiens nervissa. Adjective "Nervissan." A quiet race of average height and a slender build. Naturally in tune with magics, and as such make naturally astute magicians. All of Kami's Black Star Corps, an elite cadre of magicians hand-picked by Xelot, are Nervissan. Their territory, the United Nervissan Worlds, composes approximately 7% of the old Disney Kingdom..

Sapiens: Scientific name Homo sapiens sapiens. Adjective "Sapien." A race of average build, average height, and average skin tone (with a few exceptions). Unlike the other races, Sapiens have little natural ability - they cannot even use magic, except under certain circumstances. What they have to their advantage is their amazing intellect - Sapien IQ scores throughout old Disney Kingdom were far above what other races scored. Their home territory, the Republic of Disney, formed the heart of the old Disney Kingdom, and composed about 16% of the old Disney Kingdom.

Herrvahk: Scientific name Homo xenos herrvahk. A fierce, militant race with pale skin and red eyes. Slightly taller than average height, and generally built like distance runners: lean and wiry. Offered the greatest resistance against Kami's conquest. Their territory, the Empire of Herrvahk (now called the Lesser Empire of Herrvahk) was not originally part of Disney Kingdom.

Furthermore, there is a seventh "race," which is generally regarded
