Luxu is a Keyblade Master who was first introduced in Kingdom Hearts χ. He is an apprentice of The Master of Masters and was tasked by his master to carry the No Name Keyblade and a mysterious Black Box through the generations. Luxu has lived countless lifetimes through the use of others' bodies as vessels: his known vessels include Brain, Bragi and Braig – and, by extension, Xigbar.

Story[edit]

Before Kingdom Hearts χ[edit]

Luxu is given a Keyblade forged from his own heart by the Master of Masters, who takes him, Ava, Aced, Gula, Invi, and Ira as his apprentices. Luxu eventually achieves the rank of Keyblade Master alongside his fellow apprentices.[citation needed]

Luxu frequently meets with the Master in the Control Room, where the latter recounts an ongoing Keyblade War that began in his youth and is about to end, in which the world would be destroyed and then rebuilt. Luxu is shocked that the Master was leaving the fate of the world in the hands of others while he does nothing, and is worried about how the Dandelions would find their way home afterwards. Quest 910: Investigating the Glitches Pt. 5

Initially depressed that Keyblade wielders could do nothing against the impending darkness, Luxu learns from the Master that there is a way to defeat darkness, who notes that it would require extensive planning and many lifetimes to accomplish. Quest 960: To the Race Track! Pt. 5 Luxu questions the Master about the Darkness's nature and its goal, but the latter that he is also unware of its true purpose. Quest 970: Pest Control Pt. 8

Kingdom Hearts χ Back Cover[edit]

Luxu travels through the Keyblade Graveyard with the mysterious black box.

Luxu is instructed to meet the Master of Masters in the Foretellers' Chamber, where he is bestowed with a Keyblade containing the Master's own "Gazing Eye". Luxu initially misunderstands that "Gazing Eye" is the name of the Keyblade, but the Master corrects him that it is unnamed, and Luxu names it "No Name" in jest. The Master explains that the Keyblade containing the Eye must be passed from master to apprentice so that the Eye can see events pass throughout the ages, prompting Luxu to realize that the Master's Book of Prophecies was written with the foresight from this process. In order to prevent temporal paradoxes, Luxu is not to receive a copy of the Book like the other apprentices, but is instead tasked with protecting the Black Box. The Master entreats Luxu to abstain from the conflict to come and instead simply observe events. As for the Box, the Master instructs Luxu to never open it or reveal its contents, but at Luxu's insistent questions, he whispers the box's contents to him, shocking and perplexing the boy.

Luxu then sets out to fulfill his role, disappearing as he travels through the Keyblade Graveyard with the Black Box and No Name in hand.

Kingdom Hearts χ[edit]

Ava attacks Luxu and signals the start of the Keyblade War.

With the Keyblade War approaching, Ava seeks out Luxu to locate the Master in hopes of averting the cataclysmic event with the Master's aid.

Finding Luxu at the outskirts of Daybreak Town, Ava interrogates him, and he explains he is meant to continue on into the future written in the Book of Prophecies and see through the end of the world. Luxu surmises that Ava wants to avoid the Keyblade War and that she had sought him out in order to find the Master, and deems her efforts as useless. Luxu states that the Lost Page is a prophecy that the Foretellers are not aware of and that it is his mission to inherit its secrets. Ava begins to suspect Luxu of being the traitor. Summoning his Keyblade, Luxu proceeds to tell her the truth about the traitor and questions Ava's resolve to stop the Keyblade War when it is unavoidable. Ultimately, Luxu states that even if there was another answer, that would still be the result of the battle and ponders if the Master would rather know how his disciples will guide the keys than the fate of the world. Ava, refusing to believe that the Master would choose them over the world, accuses Luxu to be taking his advantage of the Master's will. Drawing her Keyblade, Ava attacks Luxu, and the clashing of their Keyblades sends a ripple effect throughout Daybreak Town, which tolls the bell that signifies the beginning of the end.

With the No Name Keyblade in his hands, Luxu silently observes the conclusion of the Keyblade War, granting the Master of Masters knowledge of the event. Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep -A fragmentary passage-

Kingdom Hearts Union χ[edit]

As Data Daybreak Town's imminent destruction drew near, Luxu knew that the Dandelions' time was almost up. Carrying a figure wrapped in a white cloak, he returned to the real world's lifeboat room. There, he found Darkness trying to access some data via a computer. Luxu questioned if it wasn't a part of the whole, asking if it was acting on it's own instead. When the entity expressed surprise that a Master was still alive, Luxu explained that he had stayed because his master had told him to. As he approached the lifeboat pods, Darkness told him that using it would render his plan "as good as ruined", to which Luxu then responded by saying that it wasn't for himself. He proceeded to place the cloaked figure inside, calling it the "true Dandelion", and sent it into the future. Quest 977: Darkness Looms

When the entity asked about the remaining pods, Luxu asked if it didn't read that part of the book. Upon hearing that it "wasn't of any interest" to it, he asked Darkness what it was interested in to the entity answered simply with "expansion". As Luxu expressed confusion towards Darkness, the entity responded in kind. It asked why they had trained these Keyblade wielders just to leave them trapped in a data world. Luxu retorted that even though he doesn't know what his master was thinking, he could guess. Darkness pointed out that he still wasn't certain. Admitting this, Luxu affirmed that he was sure that the Master of Masters "wasn't a fan" of the Darkness; Darkness, again, responded in kind regarding the Light. After hearing of the entity's plans to accompany the true Dandelion to the future and lay claim on worlds yet to be created, Luxu surmised that Darkness would follow him no matter where or when he went, and summoned his Keyblade.

Luxu carries the "true Dandelion" to a lifeboat.

When Darkness reminded Luxu that he wasn't supposed to interfere, he responded by saying that only applied to helping the Dandelions, and that he was doing this for himself. While Luxu knew that Darkness lacking a physical form meant it couldn't be destroyed, having heard his master's story about its origin, he knew the entity needed a vessel. He explained it that the longer it stayed without a tangible form, the more its will would fade, calling Darkness's plan of expansion to retain a will sad and pathetic, and mocked it for not having figured out his master's real plan. Aware that there were five other willful Darknesses left - one of which being with the Union leaders - he queried the entity on the whereabouts of the other four. Darkness commended Luxu for being informed, revealing the others to be in the Data World as well. Deducing the Darkness he was talking to at the time to be the only one in his way, he fought the entity. Quest 978: What Comes After

After Elrena, Ventus and Lauriam were sent into the future, Luxu met Brain in the lifeboat room. When asked, Brain confirmed himself to be a Union leader and explained where the others were. He then explained that instead of using a pod to escape, he intended to use the remaining two pods to save his friends still stuck in the Data World; after that, he would go on for as long as possible to wake as many Dandelions as he could within the Data World, believing the world would fall to slumber as Darkness enveloped it. Luxu corrected him, telling him that even though what Master Ava had said was true, the Data World was different; that it was built to cage the Darkness, and if it were to fall, there'd be no way to bring it back. He also verified Brain's knowledge of the lifeboat - that any person using it would need to have two things at their destination: someone with memories of the user, and a vessel to occupy. He asked Brain if he had a plan, who said he'd figure something out. Luxu commended him for his smarts, but said it was a shame that he only had one lifetime to live.

Luxu bears an appearance identical to Brain's.

An unknown amount of time later, Luxu could be seen traveling through the Keyblade Graveyard with the Black Box and the No Name Keyblade. Stopping in the badlands, he looked up and said to himself, "May your heart be your guiding key". After this, he removed the hood of his black coat, revealing an appearance identical to Brain's. Quest 979: The Final Battle

Having been instructed by his master to transfer his heart from one vessel to the next until the fated "Dark Master" appeared to reenact the Keyblade War, Luxu's final role is to become an ally of this individual, Xehanort, and aid in his plans in order to continue to observe the future. Luxu’s entire existence within the timeline also provides the new Union leaders a waypoint into the future, using his memories and his No Name Keyblade as a medium.

Between Kingdom Hearts Union χ and Kingdom Hearts Dark Road[edit]

Luxu reveals his appearance as Bragi.

Luxu eventually came across Bragi to be his vessel. He poses as a lower class student under Master Odin.

Design[edit]

Like the Master of Masters, Luxu wears a black coat, which completely obscures his features.

Luxu's name is derived from the word luxuria, which means "lust" in Latin.

Personality[edit]

Contrary to the Master of Masters, Luxu is quiet and reserved. Although he is inquisitive, having asked the Master about the contents of the Black Box, he keeps the promise to never open it and hide it away.

Despite being extremely loyal to his master and the role given to him, Luxu expresses great concern for the future of the world, his fellow Keyblade Masters, the Dandelions, and the seemingly endless war against the darkness. When pressed by the Master of Masters if it bothers him that the best they can do is take a break from the battle against darkness, Luxu expresses his belief that they, as Keyblade wielders, are meant to protect the world from the darkness and is greatly disappointed at the notion that there does not appear to be a way to destroy it once and for all.

When the Master reveals that he does indeed have a plan to destroy the darkness, one that would take lifetimes to achieve, Luxu appears relieved. This indicates that Luxu does not simply want to follow a role if it's not part of a greater goal, namely eradicating the darkness, and is greatly devoted to safeguarding the light and the world.

Perhaps with this greater goal in mind, it further motivated Luxu to do whatever it took to achieve it, including standing by and observing as his comrades commenced the final battle of the original Keyblade War and transferring his heart from vessel to vessel over the course of many years. The secret reports penned by him also show his desire to be reunited with his comrades once more, showing that he still cares for them despite having to play a part in ensuring the original Keyblade War occurred.

However, Luxu's personality seems to have undergone a shift through the ages. During his time as Bragi, Luxu is shown to be aloof and cocky, even when not trying to act the part of a novice Keyblade wielder. This new persona carries on to his final vessel, Braig/Xigbar, a laid-back and outspoken seeker of darkness who aided Master Xehanort in causing tragedy to many.

Abilities[edit]

Main article: No Name

Luxu is a Keyblade Master who is given the No Name by the Master of Masters. Like Xehanort, Luxu has mastered the ability to transfer his heart into others, thereby claiming a new vessel to live on in, discarding the old one; having no Keyblade of his own, Luxu is the only Keyblade Master known able to remove his own heart without one. Unlike Xehanort, Luxu can completely dominate his new host, making the body his own permanently; he revives solely as Braig, while Xehanort regains his original body, separated from Terra.

Through the gazing eye embedded in the No Name Keyblade, Luxu has been allowing the Master of Masters to watch history as it unfolds and record it into the Book of Prophecies, ensuring it happens the way he intends.

-Following Ephemera's disappearance, Player has another dream, this time showing Ephemera meeting with the Vulpes Foreteller, Master Ava, in the Fountain Plaza. When Ephemera notes that Master Ava seems trouble, he reasons that even Foretellers must get worried about things from time to time; teasingly asking Ava if she could divulge the secrets of the Book of Prophecies to him. Ava denies Ephemera, asking if he’s only teasing her because she’s the easiest Foreteller to talk to. After Ephemera denies this, Ava tells him that it’s all right and asks if she’s right to assume that Ephemera is not tightly bound to his Union companions. Rather than answer Ava, Ephemera tells her that he’d made a friend from another Union earlier and that the two of them agreed to meet each other the following day. Hearing this, Ava suggests that Ephemera return home for some rest to prepare. Agreeing Ephemera stands and bids Ava farewell, stating that even though he doesn’t know what’s going on he hopes that Ava gets better. After Ephemera leaves, Ava thanks him and mentions to herself that should something unexpected happen she’ll be leaving it to the children like Ephemera, who are not bound to their Unions. Looking up, Ava is surprised as a dandelion seed floats past her face – to which she calmly says “Fly away and ride the wind… dandelion”.

-The dream continues by showing Player meeting with Ephemera, together going to investigate the Clock Tower, only for Player to realize that they're not ready yet to do so. Accepting this, Ephemera tells Player that he’ll be waiting before he fades away in a cluster of dandelion seeds. The Player wakes up at home, revealing everything to have been a dream, also waking up Chirithy in the process. Player tells Chirithy about the dream involving Ephemera, finishing by stating that they intend on looking for him at The Tower. Chirithy shuts down the idea, reasoning that the area is within the Foreteller’s territory and right now isn’t the best time for this kind of thing. Chirithy says that it’s not supposed to tell The Player the details, but trouble has been brewing between the Foretellers of each Union, and so it’s best if Player doesn’t go anywhere near The Clock Tower.
-Despite Chirithy’s warning, Player goes to The Clock Tower anyway, but when Chirithy follows Player and reiterates his warning, Player decides to double back and seek answers before progressing any further. Upon further investigation, Player learns that Master Ava plans on gathering superior Keyblade wielders in the Fountain Plaza, no matter what Union they belong to, that she'd been seen associating with Ephemera recently and that she was last seen heading toward the Clock Tower.

+As Data Daybreak Town's imminent destruction drew near, Luxu knew that the Dandelions' time was almost up. Carrying a figure wrapped in a white cloak, he returned to the real world's lifeboat room. There, he found Darkness trying to access some data via a computer. Luxu questioned if it wasn't a part of the whole, asking if it was acting on it's own instead. When the entity expressed surprise that a Master was still alive, Luxu explained that he had stayed because his master had told him to.

-Heading toward the Clock Tower entrance in the sewers beneath Daybreak Town, Player and Chirithy finally find Master Ava. Ava questions why Player has sought her out, prompting Player to explain that they’re looking for Ephemera. Shocked and confused, Ava admits to knowing Ephemera, but still doesn’t understand what that has to do with her. Player divulges that he’d had a dream where Ephemera told them to meet him there. Understanding, Ava reiterates that Ephemera is waiting there for them in a dream and that they’re telling her this in the Foreteller’s domain. Master Ava reveals that Ephemera had recently gotten caught up in some trouble that the Foretellers had brought on, and out of all the Foretellers – Ava assumes that The Player found her to be the most suspicious. Accepting this, Ava summons her Keyblade and challenges Player to battle. Eventually, Ava stops the battle, and an exhausted Player falls to the ground. Ava commends Player’s power, but warns them that they harbor sadness in their heart and that they need to overcome it quickly. However, Ava is not too concerned, noting that Player has a good friend by their side in the form of Chirithy, so she’s sure everything will work out fine. Ava advise Player to return home for the night while also making it known to Player that they can’t come to The Tower whenever they feel like it. Understanding, Player leaves with Chirithy, allowing Ava to realize that they are the friend Ephemera had spoken of.

-Later that night, Chirithy watches over Player as they sleep; mentioning that they’d had a tough day and that he’d never anticipated having to fight a Foreteller. Master Ava then appears in the room, remarking on her own surprise over the situation, though admitting that she wouldn’t have fought so simply had she been serious – signifying that she was only testing Player’s strength. Chirithy asks Ava about her actions, only for her to ask if it had been the one to show Player the dream with Ephemera. When Chirithy denies this, Ava voices how it may have been Ephemera trying to reach Player from the dream. Chirithy questions what Ava means, so she elaborates by saying that Ephemera had been closing in on the truth, and as such she believes that he’s now in another dimension apart from the free one that they call “Unchained”, and that Ephemera seems to have attempted reaching out to Player from this dimension. Moving closer to Player, Ava suggests that if Ephemera and the dream really are connected, then that could mean that Player is also nearing the Unchained dimension – though whether or not they continues will depend on their heart. Ava then asks Chirithy to protect Player from their nightmares so that Player can fly away and ride the wind one day as well, before disappearing once again. Looking to Player, Chirithy questions what Ava means by protecting them from nightmares.

-After witnessing Master Invi and Master Aced's battle and encountering the Black Garment Heartless and Nightmare Chirithy, Player and Skuld continue to the waterways where Player had last seen Ephemera. Skuld asks for confirmation that this is where Player had last seen Ephemera - admitting that she's sure that there's something secret ahead. Before Player and Skuld can continue however, Chirithy blocks their path and asks if they truly intend to keep going even with everything that they'd just seen, admitting that he has an awful feeling about all of this; looking to his feet while Player attempts to comfort him. Skuld asks if she's right to assume that Chirithy knows the layout of the Clock Tower's internal structure, which Chirithy confirms, only for Skuld to order him to lead them onward. Relenting, Chirithy agrees to Skuld's request, reminding Skuld and Player that going further into the Clock Tower really is forbidden, so they have to come right back after a quick peek inside; which Skuld promises to do.
+After Elrena, Ventus and Lauriam were sent into the future, Luxu met Brain in the lifeboat room. When asked, Brain confirmed himself to be a Union leader and explained where the others were. He then explained that instead of using a pod to escape, he intended to use the remaining two pods to save his friends still stuck in the Data World; after that, he would go on for as long as possible to wake as many Dandelions as he could within the Data World, believing the world would fall to slumber as Darkness enveloped it. Luxu corrected him, telling him that even though what Master Ava had said was true, the Data World was different; that it was built to cage the Darkness, and if it were to fall, there'd be no way to bring it back. He also verified Brain's knowledge of the lifeboat - that any person using it would need to have two things at their destination: someone with memories of the user, and a vessel to occupy. He asked Brain if he had a plan, who said he'd figure something out. Luxu commended him for his smarts, but said it was a shame that he only had one lifetime to live.
-As the three reach the room from Player's dream, Skuld asks where they are, and Chirithy explains that it is the last room - the Foretellers' room - prompting Skuld to question whether or not Ephemera made it that far. Given the situation, Chirithy mentions how, as they could see, there's no one there, and since they are not going to mess around with the things left in the room, it's time for them to go back as promised; stressing how they'd be in serious trouble if anyone found them up there. Skuld reluctantly agrees with Chirithy before taking another quick look around to be sure that there's really nothing up there, admitting that it feels as though they have been side-stepped, causing her to wonder what the dream with Ephemera really meant.
+[[File:Destinations 04 KHUX.png|thumb|right|Luxu bears an appearance identical to Brain's.]]
+An unknown amount of time later, Luxu could be seen traveling through the Keyblade Graveyard with the Black Box and the No Name Keyblade. Stopping in the badlands, he looked up and said to himself, "May your heart be your guiding key". After this, he removed the hood of his black coat, revealing an appearance identical to Brain's.{{storylink|Quest 979: The Final Battle}}
-{{canon|the player allies with the Vulpes Union.|*}}
+Having been instructed by his master to transfer his heart from one vessel to the next until the fated "Dark Master" appeared to reenact the Keyblade War, Luxu's final role is to become an ally of this individual, [[Xehanort]], and aid in his plans in order to continue to observe the future. Luxu’s entire existence within the timeline also provides the new Union leaders a waypoint into the future, using his memories and his [[No Name]] Keyblade as a medium.
-Just then, a voice comes from behind the group, as Master Ira ventures in from the shadows and asks what Player and Skuld think they are doing. Skuld asks Ira to excuse them, as they are looking for a friend of theirs. Master Ira simply asks how Player and Skuld could've possibly gotten in there if Chirithy was accompanying them - only for Chirithy to apologize for bringing them. Walking past Player, Ira reveals that there was another trespasser a few days before, wondering if they were a friend of theirs, which Player confirms. Skuld then asks if Ira knows Ephemera, prompting Ira to elaborate that Ephemera belonged to a Union which was in direct conflict with their own goals as a Union, suggesting that Ephemera must have gotten close to Player and Skuld in order to gather information about their Union. Coldly, Ira states that there was no way they would be seeing Ephemera ever again. Skuld, realizing what Ira is getting at, hastens to admit to herself that Ira had gotten rid of Ephemera. Ira confirms that he'd had Ephemera disappear, prompting shock and concern from Player, Skuld and Chirithy. Skuld insists that Ira won't get away with this, only for Ira to ask what Skuld thinks she's going to do about it. Chirithy then motions to stop Skuld, telling her that she can't and informing Ira that it's his fault and that he is the one responsible for everything that's happened, begging Ira to forgive Player and Skuld.

+Luxu eventually came across [[Bragi]] to be his vessel. He poses as a lower class student under Master [[Odin]].

-Player then steps out in front of Chirithy, looking to Ira and stating that, until today, they'd devoted themselves to their Union, to gathering Light in order to save the world and they had even competed against fellow Keyblade wielders that they think of as friends. Originally, they had thought that it was just what had to be done in order to save the world, and so they had tried not to dwell on what it meant, but at the same time someone had asked him that same simple question ("What are you going to do about it?") and that person was none other than Ephemera. Player admits that their encounter with Ephemera was brief, and that Ephemera had even broken a promise with Player - so their memories of Ephemera aren't all good - but they are huge and important to their heart. Player continues, saying that their sure it's because Ephemera was his friend, and that even if these feelings of anger and sadness signify Darkness, simply pushing them away is impossible. Player states that even if it came to crossing their Keyblade against Master Ira, they don't think they'd come away from it with any kind of peace. Perhaps it'd mean they would disappear as well, yet their sure that if Ephemera were there he would do the same. Preparing his stance for battle, Player beckons Master Ira forward into battle, prompting Ira to summon his Keyblade and launch herself into battle against Player.
+==Design==
+Like the Master of Masters, Luxu wears a [[black coat]], which completely obscures his features.
-Despite putting up a good fight against Master Ira, Player is easily defeated. Following the battle, Player is engulfed in a blinding light, which fades to reveal that they are back in the waterways alongside Skuld and Chirithy. Master Ira tells Player that they'd avoided being swallowed by their anger and sadness, and that they'd fought well.
-{{canonend}}
-The Foreteller then radiates with light, revealing themselves to have actually been Master Ava the entire time. Ava addresses Player and Skuld and reveals that they'd allowed her to determine the strength of their hearts, as the image of their Foreteller, as well as of the Foreteller's room inside the Clock Tower, had all been an illusion she'd created. Skuld demands an explanation from Master Ava, who explains that, as Ephemera had told her in her dream, the end of the world seems to be coming, and if all of them are swallowed up by the destruction of this world then it would mean the end of the Keyblade wielders. Ava assures Player and Skuld that this is an outcome that must be avoided at all costs, admitting that she's since been carrying out her own missions in order to prepare superior Keyblade wielders - regardless of their Unions - to last into the next world. Chirithy questions what Ava means by this, while Skuld claims that this is all happening too fast and demands to know what happened to Ephemera. Ava explains that, just as she'd said, the world is facing its end, and perhaps Ephemera felt doubt and started to make his own inquiries because he had started to feel that. Ephemera managed to get close to the truth faster than anyone else, so Ava reveals that she'd asked a favor of him. Elaborating, Master Ava says that she'd sent Ephemera to guide the dandelions in her place.
+Luxu's name is derived from the word ''{{w|Seven deadly sins#Lust|luxuria}}'', which means "lust" in Latin.
-Hearing this, Chirithy asks what Ava means by "dandelions", and so Ava reveals that the dandelions are the Keyblade wielders that will last into the next world, they who shall not witness the world's end. Ava states that it is her duty to establish those dandelions, however she herself must witness the end of the world. Thus, so that he could guide those who are left for Ava once she's gone, Ava sent Ephemera to wait ahead somewhere else. Hearing this, Skuld realizes that Ava's saying that Ephemera's safe, and asks for confirmation; with Ava stating that the world will end because some Keyblade wielders among them have been swallowed by Darkness and that the Nightmare Chirithy is proof of that. In order to prevent the persistence of Darkness in the next world, Ava "shakes" the Hearts of Keyblade wielders in order to choose those who would not submit to the Darkness, and thus she asks if Player and Skuld would join her dandelions.
+==Personality==
+Contrary to the Master of Masters, Luxu is quiet and reserved. Although he is inquisitive, having asked the Master about the contents of the [[Black Box]], he keeps the promise to never open it and hide it away.
+<!--After decades of switching bodies, Luxu doesn't mind which of his names he is called; be it his real name or his host name.-->
-While Skuld is understanding of the situation, Player remains silent, prompting Skuld to ask them what's wrong. Player then questions what will happen to the other Keyblade wielders not chosen to be dandelions, causing Ava to reveal that the world will face an unavoidable Keyblade War. Pondering this, Player asks that they be given time to think over Ava's offer, which Ava understands; stating that Player is under no obligations - though in order to prevent their fall into chaos she asks that none of them speak of this.
+Despite being extremely loyal to his master and the role given to him, Luxu expresses great concern for the future of the world, his fellow Keyblade Masters, the Dandelions, and the seemingly endless war against the darkness. When pressed by the Master of Masters if it bothers him that the best they can do is take a break from the battle against darkness, Luxu expresses his belief that they, as Keyblade wielders, are meant to protect the world from the darkness and is greatly disappointed at the notion that there does not appear to be a way to destroy it once and for all.
-Having parted ways with Player and Chirithy in favor of joining the dandelions so that she can see Ephemera once again, Skuld ventures to the Fountain Plaza, joining nineteen other Keyblade wielders, where Master Ava prepares to address them as a group. Ava explains that in the days that are to come they will be involved in training that will seem to mirror all the missions they’d completed up to this point and relive things that they’d already experienced. However, they will be doing so in a world just like a dream, in a place separate from their world; shocking the group. Ava tells the group that they are the hope and that a great conflict will begin soon between those who share the same wish to protect the Light, only to be divided by nothing but a difference in Union; making enemies of those they once considered to be their friends. Ava admits that she doesn’t know how long she can continue to guide the other Unions true, suggesting that she may even end up being swallowed by the Darkness and swing her Keyblade in the middle of the strife. Even so, the Keyblade War will have no victor and everything will be annihilated as a result. Yet Ava tells the twenty Keyblade wielders before her that she wants them to last on as seeds of hope; directing them not to take part in the battle that follows, instead departing to the outside world. Hence, Ava asks that the Keyblade wielders repeat separate training on a daily basis as they have been. In the end, Ava finished by saying that she’s entrusting the future of the Realm of Light to the Keyblade wielders, with their Hearts guided by the key.
+When the Master reveals that he does indeed have a plan to destroy the darkness, one that would take lifetimes to achieve, Luxu appears relieved. This indicates that Luxu does not simply want to follow a role if it's not part of a greater goal, namely eradicating the darkness, and is greatly devoted to safeguarding the light and the world.
--->
-==Design==
+Perhaps with this greater goal in mind, it further motivated Luxu to do whatever it took to achieve it, including standing by and observing as his comrades commenced the final battle of the original Keyblade War and transferring his heart from vessel to vessel over the course of many years. The secret reports penned by him also show his desire to be reunited with his comrades once more, showing that he still cares for them despite having to play a part in ensuring the original Keyblade War occurred.
-Foreteller Ava is a girl with light skin who wears a white and blue fox mask and a pink hooded cloak over a white robe, dark grey shirt, and dark grey sash, each with gold embroidering. Her shirt is worn beneath her cloak, is fastened by the sash, and has long sleeves that extend slightly past her wrists. The tassels on the front of the cloak are light green in coloration.
-Her name is derived from the Latin word "{{w|Seven deadly sins#Greed|avaritia}}", or Greed, which is symbolized by a fox in the ''{{w|Ancrene Wisse}}''.
+However, Luxu's personality seems to have undergone a shift through the ages. During his time as Bragi, Luxu is shown to be aloof and cocky, even when not trying to act the part of a novice Keyblade wielder. This new persona carries on to his final vessel, Braig/Xigbar, a laid-back and outspoken seeker of darkness who aided Master Xehanort in causing tragedy to many.
 ==Abilities==
-{{main|Foreteller Ava's Keyblade}}
+{{main|No Name}}
-{{section-stub}}
+Luxu is a Keyblade Master who is given the No Name by the Master of Masters. Like Xehanort, Luxu has mastered the ability to transfer his heart into others, thereby claiming a new vessel to live on in, discarding the old one; having no Keyblade of his own, Luxu is the only Keyblade Master known able to remove his own heart without one. Unlike Xehanort, Luxu can completely dominate his new host, making the body his own permanently; he revives solely as Braig, while Xehanort regains his original body, separated from Terra.
-<!--format for writeup:
-Foreteller Ava wields a Keyblade with a dark blue handle. Its pommel and guard resemble a golden bolt of lightning. The base of the blade is an etching of a green-eyed leopard, and the shaft is formed from a golden, spiked blade with a wide, darkened fuller, itself etched with a yellow icon resembling Terra's Mark. The teeth are formed from a web of crystalline spikes, and have another etched icon resembling Terra's Mark. The Keychain is made of small, {{w|electrum}} crystals, and the token is a spiked electrum talisman with an eye of darkness.
-notes:
+Through the gazing eye embedded in the No Name Keyblade, Luxu has been allowing the Master of Masters to watch history as it unfolds and record it into the Book of Prophecies, ensuring it happens the way he intends.
-The Vulpeus Keyblade is a medley of pastel pink, yellow, and cyan, with a floral motif and a fox image.
+{{sec-stub}}<!--Talk about the Gazing Eye and its powers, but keep text relevant to Luxu-->
-Vulpeus: The Keyblade's main colors are light pink, yellow, and light sky blue. The blade looks somewhat like a spiral of clouds, water, or even cotton candy. The blade starts out light pink then transitions to yellow, then slightly green, and finally light sky blue. The guard's top and bottom are separated, the top half having the same coloration as the blade, and the bottom half looking like a stylized "M". The handle is an orange-brown architectural column. The hilt bears a fox over an intricate design. The Keyblade's teeth extend from the swirled shaft and bear a pink heart shape with an orange outline. The Keychain's links are copies of the bottom part of the guard and the Keychain token somewhat resembles the token of the Stormfall, bearing a somewhat similar shape. However, the token is a different color and has round top corners instead of pointed ones.-->
