==About me==
Username: LapisScarab
Real Name: Marc
Gender: Male
Age: 16 (as of November 10)
Laterality: Right-handed
Orientation: Heterosexual
Location: Viginia, USA
Grade: Junior (11th)
Race: Caucasian (technically 1/2 Brittish, 1/4 Italian, 1/4...I beats me, could be Martian for all I know)
Religion: Christian
Hey everyone, I'm LapisScarab (I know, weird name. If you really want to know why I have that name, just ask.)! While I obviously love the Kingdom Hearts series, my intrests are as far apart as you can imagine. As such, you can find me on several other Wikias, like the Bleach, Naruto, Zelda, and Deltora Wikis to name a few.  My favorite part of the series is Organization XIII, for their uniqueness and diversity (plus, I've always liked antagonists). Eventually I hope to become a fantasy-fiction author, and I've been working on an original story since the beginning of last year. To my eternal frustration, my keyboard often skips letters when I'm typing quickly. I have 3 siblings: an older sister (by 5 years), a younger sister (a little over 1 year), and a little brother (5 years).
==Appearance==
I'm very tall, with blue-grey eyes and brown (my parents swear that it's dirty blond, I have no idea why) hair, though I recently shaved it as part of a Cancer Reseach Drive. It's grown back and now I wear it up (as opposed to the bangs I had before), which has had the disturbing side effect of making me look like Edward Cullen [facepalm]. I'm thin and stronger than I look (especially since I don't look very strong -.-), and have pale skin. I'm very near-sighted, and wear contacts. My typical attire is some sort of T-shirt or long-sleeved shirt (I hate button-down shirts for some reason), usually a monochromatic color or a dark shade of other colors. I always wear pants, no matter what season it is, either jeans or basket ball pants. During winter I usually wear a hoodie or a grey Nordstrom jacket. I only ever really wear four different shirts, but my parents fail to understand why (I just don't see any reason to get more than I'll wear). I also have very, ''very'' faint freckles.
==Personality==
I'm rather introverted, meaning I will almost never start a conversation and will choose solitude if left to my own devices, but I genuinely enjoy it when people talk to me and usually end up having fun when I go out. I'd like to say that I'm a "go with the flow" type of person, but really it's more like "whatever". I haven't truly stressed about anything in a very long time, because, to me, nothing is ever big enough to worry over. When I'm surrounded by people I don't know, I'm usually pretty stoic and very quiet. I'm an excellent speaker according to my teachers and parents, but I'm more of a listener personality-wise, and I'm polite almost to a fault (for example, I cannot bring myself to interrupt someone speaking, even if it means I have to wait for a long time, or I will hold the door for basically everyone behind me, no matter how long the line is). I live by altruism and love helping people. I work very quickly and very hard when I feel like someone is depending on me. I don't have a great deal of self-confidence, and I always give credit where credit is due. I'm smart and a quick learner, so I have literally never studied for a single test since first grade, but still have B(+) average. It ''would'' be an A, but I am admittedly a bit of a slacker when it comes to homework. I'm not especially good at talking to people over the phone, so even though I have a cell, I tend to forget it, keep it off, and/or only take it when I need it. I'm often bored by my surroundings and when I get depressed I tend to revert to a nihilistic way of thinking.
===Me and Cursing===
People on the wiki may have noticed how I really discourage cursing. In real life, this is actually quite contrary to the way I talk; I curse a lot (usually for emphasis on things, not usually to insult someone). The reason I don't like it here is because this wiki is something between a job and a hobby to me, and thus I prefer to keep a fairly professional attitude. Cursing isn't professional, and it usually cheapens whatever you're trying to say. So yeah, watch the mouth when you talk to me here.
==Hobbies==
Like I mentioned above, I like to write, draw, and read. I'm a surprisingly good artist considering I've never taken a class, but I only practice drawing so I can draw the characters from my stories. I love doing brain teasers, word puzzles, and jigsaws. I also like to do origami, and I spend about half the time in most of my classes drawing or folding something, since I usually know what's going on already (I know when to pay attention though). I've played several sports in the past, like soccer, baseball, basketball, and tennis, though I only play basketball and tennis now, and even then I only play recreationally. I'm actually quite good at both of them. I am also a big fan of manga and anime, and I occasionally click the "surprise me" option on onemanga.com and read a new manga just for the heck of it. I read a lot of it with a rather critical eye, though I never really find myself disappointed with anything.
==Character Appearance Sections==
My forte is description, so my main goal is to get up an Appearance section for all of the characters that don't have them, as per the [[Forum:Character Page Improvement|new character page improvement project]]. NinjaSheik got me started on this with Aqua, Ven, Terra, and Organization XIII, so I decided to roll with it.
===Completed===
Okay here's a list of the sections I have completed:
*[[Land of Departure]] characters
*The [[Lingering Sentiment]]
*[[Xemnas|O]][[Xigbar|r]][[Xaldin|g]][[Vexen|a]][[Lexaeus|n]][[Zexion|i]][[Saix|z]][[Axel|a]][[Demyx|t]][[Luxord|i]][[Marluxia|o]][[Larxene|n]] [[Roxas|XIII]] members (plus [[Xion]])
*[[Port Royal]] characters
*[[Xehanort]]
*[[Naminé]]
*[[Xehanort's Heartless]]
*[[Ansem the Wise]]
*[[Kairi's Grandma]]
*[[Merlin]]
*[[Pete]]
*[[Isa]]
*[[Lea]]
*[[Olympus Coliseum]] characters
*[[Halloween Town]] characters
*[[Agrabah]] characters
*[[Atlantica]] characters
*[[Mysterious Tower]] characters ([[Yen Sid]])
*Final Fantasy characters
*[[Space Paranoids]] characters
*[[Disney Castle]]/[[Disney Town]] characters
*[[Deep Jungle]] characters
*[[Pride Lands]] characters
*[[The Land of Dragons]] characters
*[[100 Acre Wood]] characters
*[[Traverse Town]] characters
*[[Neverland]] characters
*[[Deep Space]] characters
*[[Castle of Dreams]] characters
*[[Enchanted Dominion]] characters
*[[Beast's Castle]] characters
*[[Twilight Town]] characters
Here is a list of those that I will NOT be doing soon, and the reason why. They may change later, but for the time being, this is it:
*[[Lady Tremaine]], [[Drizella]], and [[Anastasia]]: All need full-body pictures.
===Not involved with===
This has been a long time coming. I always try to give credit where credit is due, but the most I can do right now is give a list of the sections that I had virtually ''nothing'' to do with, since, with one exception, I have no idea who did them.
*[[Roo]] (by Xion4ever)
*[[Master Xehanort]]
*[[Vanitas]]
*[[Ariel]]
*[[Flotsam and Jetsam]]
*[[Jasmine]]
*[[Even]]
*[[Aeleus]]
*[[Cloud]]
*[[Rai]]
*[[Gullwings]]
*[[Alice]]
*[[White Rabbit]]
*[[Tarzan]]
*[[Clayton]]
*[[Stitch]]
*[[Experiment 221]]
*[[Wendy]]
*[[Maleficent]]
*[[Beast]]
*[[Belle]]
*[[Piglet]]
*[[Jaq]]
*[[Sora]] (though I did the child description)
*[[Riku]] (same as Sora)
*[[Kairi]] (same as Sora)
*[[Pongo]] and [[Perdita]]
==Weapon Design Sections==
I was given a side-project a while back by Xion4ever, which has now become my main project; to do the appearance sections for all of the series' weapons. I will not have a "to be done soon" list, since I just sort of pick which ones I do at random. Here is (what I hope is) a complete list (if I'm missing any, please let me know on my talk page):
===Completed===
Appearance sections I have completed:
*[[Sword of the Ancestor]]
*[[Scimitar]]/[[Sword]]
*[[Spear]]
*[[Claws]]
*[[Bone Fist]]
*[[Battlefields of War]]
*[[Skill and Crossbones]]
*all Ethereal Blades
*all Chakrams
*all Cards
*all Knives
*all Shields (Vexen)
*all Lexicons
*all Lances
*all Axe Swords
*all Claymores
*all Scythes
*all Sitars
*all 358/2 Days Keyblades
*all Staves
*all Shields (Goofy)
*All Arrowguns (with help from maggosh) <!--plus several Gameplay sections.-->
===In-progress===
Appearance sections yet-to-be-completed:
*BBS Keyblades ([[Dark Biter]], [[Chaos Reaper]], [[Rain Fall]], [[Bright Crest]], [[Rascal Flame]], [[Lost Memory]], [[Rock Splendor]], [[Crystal Works]], [[Fairy Star]], [[Winning Medallion]], [[Mark of Hero]], [[Hyperdrive]], [[Pixie Charm]], [[Delicious Tower]]}
==Enemy Designs==
Details [[Kingdom Hearts Wiki:Project Enemy/DESIGN|here]].
==<s>Synthesis Materials</s>==
'''''Complete'''''
==<s>Accessories</s>==
'''''Complete'''''
I also hope to get descriptions and etymologies for the designs of all the accessories, something I partially started a while ago and am getting into again now.
==My Views on the Kingdom Hearts Games==
*''[[Kingdom Hearts (game)|Kingdom Hearts]]'': I got this ''after'' KHII, which may have been a bad decision. Not because I didn't get the story, this wiki made that problem non-existent. It was because KHII had a much easier (perhaps too easy, but better in my opinion) control system, which made this one's controls frustrating to use. Also, Sora's voice annoys the heck out of me, but the game has a number of hidden bosses, as opposed to the other games in the series having few to none of them. It is a harder game to play, maybe for the wrong reasons, but I'll admit that finally winning in the second fight against Ansem was a nice feeling. A good game overall. Looking back, it also probably has the best overall voice acting of the series, a few examples (like Disney VAs not reprising their roles until the next games, and Sora's annoying as hell original voice) notwithstanding. A close second for this is KHII.
*''[[Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories]]'':I don't have the Gameboy version of this game, only the remake. I am about half done with Riku's story. The card system, of course, was wierd and rather difficult to get used to at first, but it wasn't that bad. The biggest thing this game has going for it is introducing the single most awsome thing about the series: Organization XIII. It may be my least favorite KH game, but it's still a great game.
*''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'': This was the first game I got for the series and it is by far my favorite. It has the best story, controls, music, and characters in the series so far, though it doesn't have nearly as many bonus bosses as the original (A GIGANTIC reason as to why I want Final Mix released in America. I can't afford a whole new PlayStation just for that). Organization XIII is back in all its unique, diverse, and plainly awesome glory, introducing most of my favorite members (except Zexion. Curse you Rikuuuuuuu!). Really there's notmuch else to say. It improved greatly on the original game, and is my second-favorite KH game.
*''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]'': This one ranks between KHII and Re:CoM (about tied with KH1). The story takes some time to get going, and it introduces some of the most annoying enemies in the game. You have no idea how frustrating it is to get a Pink Concerto down to a sliver of health using 90% of your attack magic, only for it to vanish and respawn at full health. Or to try and keep the heart chain going while trying to hit a Sapphire Elegy while getting teleported around by a Grey Caprice. I hate a lot of the new Heartless. A lot. But the game itself is very fun, even with that, and it was very interesting once the story got going. The cutscenes are really cool, but I wish there were more of them. They wasted getting the Organization members' voice actors by only having five of them really talk. And, of course, the complete lack of Final Fantasy characters is another mark against it. Despite all that, 358/2 Days was very fun and I am glad I got it.
*''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]]'': Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep was the first game I was legitimately excited about in a long time. I love the story and think it is the best in the series ths far. It was much more tragic, even in comparison to ''Days'', and I liked all of the characters. I kind of miss normal item synthesis, the replacement system was kind of confusing, but it's not bad. The combat system was a nice mix of KHI and II; it was fun like KHII and challenging like KHI, but not too easy or frustrating. ost of the music (normal world themes) weren't bad, but forgettable. The Enchanted Dominion was a notable exception to this. The original character themes and battle themes, however, are some of my favorites in the series. Fate of the Unknown, Terra's theme, and the remix of Fragments of Sorrow all contain the same theme, which carries the tragic feeling of the game very well (I think "Rage Awakened has a similar tune I think, but it is more subtle). The fact that it's on a portable system is definitely a plus, since I can start playing it basically anytime I want. I have some mixed feelings about the [[Forum:Birth by Sleep English Voice Cast|voicework]], but overall it is good. All in all, this has probably become my favorite Kingdom Hearts game, edging out KHII slightly.
