 ==Keychains==
-Keychains are items that, when attached to a Keychain, change its shape and properties.  One particular Keychain may give the Keyblade a large boost in attack power, while another may lengthen the user's MP gauge.  In gameplay terms, Keychains basically act as interchangeable weapons, and can be switched to suit a particular player's playstyle or situation.
+Sora's Keyblade is known as the "Keyblade of Worlds' Hearts"{{fact}}, and nearly all of his Keychain tokens represent some important item from a world he has saved. Usually, Sora is not actually shown to be given the Keychain from one of his many friends, so it is possible that after saving a world, or completing a major step in that direction, the world itself rewards him with the ability to access its power in the form of a unique Keychain.
-Story-wise, Keychains have never really been elaborated upon.  Often, they are gifts from someone Sora builds a bond with in each world; other times, they are simply given to the player out of nowhere once the player has completed a particular objective.  In one particular instance, a Keychain ([[Oblivion]]))was simply unceremoniously found in a treasure chest.  There doesn't seem to be any particular rules or patterns as to how or why Keychains are obtained, and once a Keychain falls into Sora's possession, they are rarely, if ever, referred to again (the sole exception being [[Oathkeeper]], which was specifically a gift from [[Kairi]]).
+Keychains that Sora receives from his friends, or from defeating challengers in the Olympus Coliseum, always use a token that is somehow intimately symbolic of that person. While Sora's Keyblade is not specifically a Keyblade of human hearts, like the explicitly named [[Keyblade of People's Hearts]], it is likely that the connections between his heart and those he meets allow him to sometimes access their power as well. Sora and Roxas's [[Oathkeeper]] and [[Oblivion]] are said to specifically embody Sora's memories of Kairi and Riku and Roxas's oath to Xion before her death (Oathkeeper) as well as her demise (Oblivion) and so it is extremely likely that for "people-Keyblades" like these, the Keychains act as a physical embodiment of the memories Sora and Roxas has of those that are important to them.
-In Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, Roxas utilizes [[Gears]], which function more or less exactly the same as Keychains would.  Story-wise, much like Keychains, they are neither referred to, nor elaborated upon, and are simply seen as a gameplay feature.
+In Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, Roxas utilizes [[Gears]], which function more or less exactly the same as Keychains would.
-Other than the player character ([[Sora]], [[Roxas]], [[Ventus]], [[Terra]], [[Aqua]])), no other character is ever seen switching between Keychains.  While King Mickey has utilized the [[Star Seeker]] in [[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]] and [[Kingdom Key D]] in all other instances in which he is showing using a Keyblade, he has never used them both in the same game.  Notably, despite being a party member in [[Kingdom Hearts II]], the player cannot switch [[Riku's]] [[Way to the Dawn]] with any other Keychain.  However, considering that the three Key-Bearers in Birth By Sleep were able to equip different Keychains with no problems, it can be assumed that the changeability of Keychains is a universal trait of all Keyblades.
