"I wear this outdated cloak for a reason."

—Xelak

Xelak is a member of the resistance group, La Lutte Pour Presque Rien. He wields the element of Life, and as such is often used as a medic or backup instead of a major fighter. He was 14 years old when he became a Nobody, and so took on a youthful look.

Story

Background

Xelak was first born as a human on the small, out-of-place world of Reality's Dawn, which was later noted for being one of the few worlds in the universe to combine magic and science in alchemy. That being said, there was a cfertain level of division among the world's alchemists, based on personal beliefs of whether or not science or magic was more important to alchemy; this led to the political system eventually being divided into two factions, the Mechanical party, also known as "Steampunks", and the Magical party, who were commonly nicknamed "Owls". Xelak's parents, who were both premier politicians, came from opposing groups and so were viewed by those who knew them as the representation of the union of the two parties, with their differences put aside for the good of alchemy. Naturally, this left a lot of weight on poor Xelak(who was originally known as "Kale")'s shoulders.

However, unlike other classical examples of those in his situation, Kale strove to live up to his parent's expectations, taking advanced classes at his school in both magic and science. At age 13, the Year of Trial for young adults on his planet, he quickly completed his assigned task of creating an alchemy-forged tool, a task assigned to all. Within four months, he had successfully combined science and magic and had forged a blade which, when put under scrutiny from the Alchemist Elders, would later be put in the hall of fame as one of the Seven Great Alchemist Blades as No. 4. This, naturally, led to quite a bit of publicity, and overnight he preactically became a world-wide celebrity.

Despite this, he retained a humble demeanor and was also known for his humility, right up until...that day.

On the night of August 11th, dark clouds gathered over Reality's Dawn, covering its entire surface. Suddenly, and simultaneously, massive and destructive earthquakes happened all over the world simultaneously as Heartless poured in from the Realm of Darkness. Thrust up high upon a cliff, Kale watched in terror as his world's heart rose from a deep fissure, and was instantly covered in millions of Heartless. As the Heart was destroyed, a massive earthquake shattered the world and hurled Kale off the cliff, sending him plummeting to the ground nearly a thousand feet below.

When Kale awoke, he was dead, his Heart removed from his body. However, because of his strong will, he remained as a Nobody, and was whisked away to Twilight Town. Confused, unsure of where he was or who he was, as some of his memories were lost, he wandered the town and was forced to fight off Heartless and other Nobodies while discovering his powers on his own. Arriving at the Old Mansion, he descended into the basement and accessed the computer there, searching for the only two words he remembered: Reality's Dawn. When the searched turned up blank, he smashed the computer in rage and ran into the forest.

It was there that he met Xaelus, disguised in a dark black cloak. Mistaking him for a Heartless, Kale attacked, but was easily defeated by the Keyblade master. However, seeking more power, he accepted Xaelus' offer to join La Lutte Pour Presque Rien and was taken to their stronghold, where he was trained in combot by Xaelus and learned to use his powers. Initially not accepted because of his antisocial tendencies, Kale, now renamed Xelak, spent his time searching La Lutte's stronghold and, in an old closet, discovered an old black cloak identical to the one Xaelus had once worn - and it fit him. Now, by chossing to wear it instead of La Lutte's blazer but still keeping the numbered undershirt, Xelak identified himself with La Lutte but remains apart, distinguished by his fashion sense.

Themes

Since this is a popular occurance now, I've chosen Xelak's "themes".

Generic Theme: "New Divide" by Linkin Park

Battle Theme: "Know Your Enemy" by Green Day

Boss Theme: "Burn it to the Ground" by Nickleback Now I believe these deserve explanation. First, New Divide talks about how the singer remembers "black skies, the lightning all around me", obviously Xelak/Kale's faint memories of the takeover and destruction of his homeworld (although he doesn't recognize it for what it is). The song also comments on "[filling] this hole, connect the space between/let it be enough to reach the truth and lies" -obviously, Xelak's quest for the meaning of existence and his true memories. Second, Know Your Enemy is a rather good-paced, fast-beat song that accurately (with sound) describes Xelak's fighting style. It also mentions eneis a mies and how to recognize them, which I found (strangely) appropriate. Finally, Burn it to the Ground is a hard-beat, fast-paced, and rather rampant song that can easily show how Xelak is when fighting an important battle: never give up, hit 'em hard and fast, and basically let loose.

Trivia

• Although Xelak's creator, Xelak, originally invisioned Xelak as an abnormally mature 14-year-old, he later realized that it would be better to make him an annoying, immature 14-year-old. However, his themes still remained the same, for unknown reasons; the most likely being that Xelak is lazy-ass.
