Demyx: Difference between revisions

'''Demyx''', the {{nihongo|''Melodious Nocturne''|夜想のしらべ|Yasō no Shirabe|lit. ''Nocturnal Melody''}}, is Rank IX within the original [[Organization XIII]]. He controls water, and uses his weapon, the sitar, as a musical instrument to make water fight for him in battle. He commands the [[Dancer]] Nobodies.

On an unknown world, Demyx's original persona became a [[Heartless]], his strong will allowing his [[body]] to continue on as his Nobody, Demyx. He was later located and inducted into Organization XIII as its ninth member, due to his connection to the ancient [[Keyblade War]].{{fact}}<!--cite quote, not storylink-->

Demyx is present when [[Xion]] joins the Organization. [[Axel]] and Roxas often tease Demyx behind his back while eating [[sea-salt ice cream]] at Station Plaza after missions, quoting how he doesn't have talent, would be "upset" if he lost his sitar, and many other things. Demyx is the first to mention the annihilation of Organization members at [[Castle Oblivion]]. Demyx accompanies Roxas on several missions, including one to [[Olympus Coliseum]], where they take down a [[Flare Note]], and one to [[Halloween Town]], where they tackle a [[Dual Blade]].

 

Some missions have Demyx accompany Roxas to Olympus Coliseum. He tricks Roxas into thinking he'll handle Heartless outside the colosseum, while the gullible boy undergoes training with [[Phil]]. He hides out when [[Guard Armor]] interupts the Games.

Later, Vexen tracks Demyx down at [[Radiant Garden]] and tries to convince him to assist in subverting the Organization's plans, in order to atone for their prior misdeeds as Nobodies. Demyx counters that he and Vexen had no prior relationship, but Vexen explains that this is why Demyx is perfect for the role and that this is in fact [[Saïx]]'s plan.

Pursuant to their plans, Demyx later delivers one of Vexen's replicas and [[Ansem the Wise]], who Vexen had rescued, to [[Ienzo]]. Ansem and Ienzo then use this replica as a vessel for [[Roxas]]'s digital memories.

After Sora and [[Riku]] defeat [[Dark Riku]] and Xigbar in the [[Keyblade Graveyard]], Demyx arrives on a mission from Ienzo to retrieve another replica vessel, this time for [[Naminé]]. After showing Riku his [[Gummiphone]] that Ienzo gave him to prove he's on their side, Demyx takes the empty replica back to Radiant Garden.

Demyx is portrayed as being weak, cowardly, and lazy, but proves to be no pushover in the battle with Sora. He can be a formidable foe due to his ability to summon water clones that must be defeated within a time limit. Demyx, being a musician, uses music to control the water around him and to summon "water forms", objects shaped out of water into musical notes or copies of himself, which move about the battle area to hit Sora, forcing him to defeat the forms in a certain amount of time to avoid an automatic loss. Demyx can also summon violent geysers to erupt from the ground, forming strong streams of water which damage Sora and throw him into the air. His sitar is rarely used as a weapon but is most often used to play his music instead. Demyx does use one move using his sitar as a weapon, but it does little damage to Sora. Demyx does little fighting by himself, instead of relying on his control of water to make it fight for him.

*{{w|Collective Brands|Airwalk}} produces a shoe model named Demyx (one likely focused towards women with its design), and another named Roxas.
