I think it's mainly because you just laid off some of the most common and used tropes in most fantasy stories. There's usually always an angsty character, whether or not they're the ones that are down the "dark path", usually some kind of sibling rivalry, and a council, and etc. etc. Just really depends on how you use them I guess.
View attachment 48596 Ignis was ready to be done with this fight and with with the thing almost dead, she was ready to deal a nice big chunk of damage to it. Coming out of hiding from the carpet bomb, which she felt very relieved not getting hit by since last time managed to put her down for a second, she brought out her keyblades and used all of her strength to attack. She jumped up to the heartless and slashed her keyblade multiple times across it, then jumped off its head and gave it a couple more hits as she tumbled through the air. With one final jumped off it, she rotated and brought herself down through the heartless, giving it a big finisher. She landed on the ground and looked back at her handiwork, admiring all the damage she had managed to deal it. "Hope you guys can take care of it now, because I'm kind of spent after doing that." Ignis used Army of One
To be fair Both Kingdom Key and Keyblade of Darkness also have mickey's head on their keychains, so maybe this is just their final design for his canon keyblade. Maybe that's what the Mickey-symbol actually is. Heck for all we know, that's the thing that was in that mysterious chest that Luxu had
View attachment 48586 Ignis felt like after all the hits that were coming in, she'd take this chance to hide away from the next attack, just to be on the safe side. She jumped back out of view from the heartless and yelled to the others. "Hey, I'm gonna hang back and make sure I survive the next attack. That cool with you guys?" Ignis used Ninja Vanish
Well, it does make sense since it's a pixar world. Though since you bring it up, I want to look at all the other worlds and see if they're any different
Ugh, a full world to explore with the gummi ship? I'm not a giant fan of the gummi stuff in the first place, so yeah, not looking forward to that at all.
Okay, so Riku has officially become the new Cloud with his very own Fenrir version. Come on, tell me that doesn't look like a slimmed down version of Fenrir. I just noticed that both Riku and Sora have those arm-guard gloves too. Wonder if they'd think of doing that to Kairi as well for a whole group.
View attachment 48575 Ignis was glad she had her Dual Disk keyblade, being brought back from the knockout a second ago and decided to attack back with an aerial combo. "You know, I feel ready to release a round of butt-whooping on this guy. Anyone else wanna join in?" Ignis used Aerial Combo
View attachment 48559 Ignis threw her keyblade at the heartless and turned toward the boys. "Only because I feel like something new, and while I've enjoyed having my current outfit, I need something a little more modern. And I never said you had to do pay, Luna." Ignis used Strike Raid
So now we've got Twilight Town, Tangled, Olympus, Big Hero 6, Toy Story, and Monsters Inc. As confirmed worlds. Here's hoping we've got way more on the way. Also glad we get Marluxia back. There was no way that guy's personality wouldn't get him in with Xehanort. Enjoy Riku's new look too, though I wonder what he'll use to fight with now. Edit: Oh, I just saw that Riku's keyblade was broken. Hard to see that on a phone's screen. I didn't even think keyblades could break.
View attachment 48553 "Well, to make up for it, you guys can buy me some new clothes after this, how about that?" Ignis jumped at the heartless and used Vorpal Blitz on it again then landed back on the ground and smirked to the others. "And you better be prepared to pay for every bit of it." Ignis used Vorpal Blitz
"I think we've established the good of having keyblades return to us. The joke can stop now. I don't need to be patronized." Ignis jumped and did a combo on the heartless as she tried to stop the ongoing joke that she regretted starting in the first place. Ignis used combo
View attachment 48549 Ignis was getting a little tired being struck by the giant dragon and snapped out of sheer annoyance, throwing her keyblade at the enemy. After a second she realized what she did and then got her keyblade back. "Well, it's a good thing these things come back to us, or I might have lost one of my weapons." She smiled and stuck her tongue out in a comedic fashion, trying to make a joke out of what happened. Ignis used Strike Raid
View attachment 48546 Being annoyed that not only did her attack miss but also that she got the wind knocked out of her, Ignis went in with a Vorpal Blitz to damage the enemy. "You do know I was talking about the bird that shot Steel, right? I'm not sure how you expect me to eat something made of darkness like Heartless." Ignis sighed and looked to Luna, being unable to hold in any response from the earlier comment. Ignis used Vorpal Blitz
View attachment 48543 Ignis was pretty sure she knew what was going to happen in just a minute, and as she thought a giant heartless flew in and the group split up with the two officers chasing the birdbrain and the keybladers going after the heartless. At least they knew what to do at this point, which was also the easiest part to do. She followed up the other's attacks by using Barrier Surge against the heartless. "So when we finish this up, can I just go cook up that bird so we don't have to worry about this happening again?" She said it jokingly, but wondered if maybe the others would take it that way. Ignis used Barrier Surge
View attachment 48533 Ignis watched as the last of the penguins fell and then some bird creep showed up. Apparently this guy really didn't like how things were in the city, because he took some little guy hostage. Ignis really didn't listen to much on what he was saying when she saw him suddenly have a spasm and then fall to the ground. Behind him stood the two officers they were looking for, and apparently the small bunny had a taser with her. Though she wondered about the reason behind having a taser that was for foxes when her partner was a fox. Ignis was ready to call this world done when the annoying bird got back on his feet and started to babble on about not being treated equal or something. Ignis really didn't want to listen to his annoying complaining and figured it was time to make some fried-bird. "I really don't care whether you think we're accepted in society or not. If I cared that much, I'd try to force myself to change, but then I wouldn't be who I am. You stick to your beliefs, it's as simple as that." She brought out both keyblades, ready to knock the birdbrain into the ground.

View attachment 48500 Ignis kept her eyes on her two ninja puffball opponents, wondering how she was going to take them out. Normally she'd be darting all over the place to take them out, but in this Tundratown and all the ice she had to deal with, it was kind of hard to really pick up speed. It was a good thing she was a big tiger at the moment, since it meant she could make use of the size and strength difference. With that in mind, she had thought of a way she could take out the two flies that were buzzing around her. While the one penguin stuck on the fence was still semi-conscious, though it was a stretch to even call it that, Ignis ran after one of the two penguins that had gone behind her. One of the penguins decided to get out the way, while the other one decided to jump in the air. Ignis was actually caught by surprised, since jumping in the air was probably the dumbest thing it could have done at this point, and simply grabbed it and threw it at the penguin that was already stuck in the fence. The two collided, and she could tell the one stuck was definitely out cold by this point, and the one she threw didn't enjoy it much at all. As she continued to move on the ground because of the ice, the second penguin took this chance to try and attack her. It pulled its sword above its head and tried to swing it down, but Ignis just flicked the puffball in the forehead as it got close. She put enough force to knock the penguin's head back and then slammed her hand down on the creature, crashing it into the ground. The thing bounced off the ground and began sliding around a little, but Ignis knew that it didn't enjoy what just happened. Then she went back to the one she threw up again the fence. It seemed to have regained its composure, as it flew face first to the ground and started sliding with its sword pointed out front. Ignis jumped up as the bird slid under her and then threw her keyblade to the thing, adding more force to its slide so it wouldn't be able to control itself. With its current speed, the penguin crashed into a fire hydrant, breaking the sword first, and then she was pretty sure the beak came next. The thing got up and tried to intimidate Ignis, but with a completely crooked beak and a broken sword, Ignis didn't even bother. That didn't sit well with the bird though, since it tried going after Ignis, flapping its wings like a madman, or mad-bird in this case. Ignis sighed and brought up her foot, keeping the bird at bay while it continued to flail. The bird looked up at her, then Ignis gave it a menacing little smile. It seemed enough, because at that point the bird was scared enough that its eyes rolled behind its head and it fell unconscious. Ignis chuckled a little, and decided to look for the last bird. As she saw it skating around her, she noticed Beuce fire a shot toward them, with the bullet ricocheting around them. Since she really didn't feel like chasing after the penguin sliding around, she used hey keyblade and pointed it out at an angle to deflect the shot and hit the penguin. It seemed enough, since the puffball rolled on the ground and then stopped moving. She figured that was the last of that annoying group and looked to see how many were left. It seemed like there were only a handful, and figured this silliness was just about done. OOC Total Words: 626 EXP: 60 Total EXP: 240 Penguins: 5/8
View attachment 48499 Almost feeling sorry for the little penguin that was trying to stand up to her, Ignis sped over to the thing and got behind it, then knocked it out with the butt of her keyblade. She could tell the thing didn't even know what happened because in the span of time that she got over there, the penguin was still looking in the same place. She almost wondered if maybe that penguin was unconscious while on its feet. Well, it's not like it really mattered, since they all had to be taken down one way or another. With that though, Ignis turned around and tried to find another suitable target to "play" with. She watched as Kel finished off his own batch of puffballs and wondered where to head to next. She scratched her head and counted the penguins that were out in view. Something seemed wrong and she wasn't sure what it was. They had taken down about half of them at this point, but there seemed to be fewer than that on the street. She seemed to be missing about three or four of them. As if on cue, the missing penguins popped up from behind her, branding their swords and ready to strike. Ignis barely had time to react and instinctively fell to the ground. She managed to drop just fast enough to dodge their swords and caught herself before dropping all the way. Then she swung her hips and pivoted her body, swinging herself around in a circle, getting up enough force to kick the two penguins that had attacked her up into the air. As she watched the two she just kicked, she noticed they were not alone. There were two more penguins on top of a building above her. And, much to her surprised, they leapt off the building and kicked their comrades back down to Ignis. Apparently these guys didn't care what it took to take their enemies down. The penguins she had just kicked up came back down with more force and Ignis had to take out her keyblades to block the sword. While they might not have been very large, she'd rather not be impaled by something falling from that height with a great amount of speed. After blocking the two that came crashing down on here, the other two that had leapt from the building came dive-bombing after her as well, and Ignis had to jump back to avoid getting hit by their attack. While they were fun to play around with and beat up, it seemed like these guys knew how to work together as well. Well, for the most part, considering that half of them were already down for the count. Ignis flung herself at the four penguins and managed to bring her keyblade on all four of them, slamming their heads into the ground. Wouldn't you know it though, the two that were still upright from the first attack managed to roll out of the hit without any damage, but the other two dive-bombers were knocked into the dirt. One seemed to be conscious though, as its feet were flailing around. She plucked it out of the ground while it seemed to be barely awake, with its eyes rolling around. She really didn't feel like doing anything to this one, so she just spun it around in the air a little by its feet, making it even more dizzy and flung it toward the other two penguins. They didn't seem to care for their comrade that much though, since they got on their bellies and slide out of the way, with their friend slamming into a fence behind them, with its eyes still spinning. Ignis wasn't sure how that one was going to feel in the morning, but she was pretty sure it wasn't going to be very enjoyable.

View attachment 48498 Ignis turned her gaze toward Stratos who was having his own time dealing with some penguins. She wanted so much to go over there and kick the two that bonked together as he stepped back, but at that moment the penguin in front of her had other plans. It didn't seem to take being used as a kicking tool too well, since it started to bounce all over the place and throwing attacks at Ignis. She tried to attack the thing, but with it hopping and sliding all over on the ice, she found it difficult to hit it. Apparently these guys were actually kind of annoying once they got their momentum, but she thought of a way to get around that. Summoning fire up in her keyblade, she slashed penguin. It missed, and the penguin seemed to laugh at her, but Ignis kept slashing at the penguin with her flame imbued keyblade. Luckily for her the penguin didn't catch on to what she was doing till it was too late. As it slid on the ground it seemed to slow down until it was standing in nothing but a puddle of water. The whole area around Ignis had melted from her attacks, keeping the puffball from going all over the place. At this point she walked up to the penguin and seemed to be terrified by her large figure. By this point Ignis was tired of anything fancy, so she simply brought her leg back and kicked the penguin in the gut, sending it flying through the air and over some buildings till it was long gone many blocks away. She turned around, satisfied with that little kick, when another penguin came after her. She already saw that one coming though, and reached out her hand to grab it by its wrist. At least, she thought they were its wrist. Given that they didn't have much aside from little winds holding swords, she was only going on a guess here. The penguin dangled helplessly, kicked its feet to try and break free. Some other penguins tried to go after her to let their friend go, but Ignis had other plans. She flung the penguin in the air and shot it just like a ball toward the penguins coming after her. The penguins hit each other and then darted all over the street like a bunch of crazy bouncing balls. Eventually one slammed its head into the side of a car and another, by sheer amazing coincidence fell through a manhole that was in the street. She figured that one wasn't coming back up though, because after it fell through a second later she heard a slam, the covering jumped up a little, and then silence. At this point Ignis wasn't even sure she really needed the keyblade, she was just playing around with these puffballs. Then again, being about ten times their size probably helped. She turned her head toward the one penguin that slammed its head into the car as it slowly got off the ground. If nothing else Ignis had to applaud the resilience of these creatures. Hitting a giant piece of metal like that was bound to hurt anyone, no matter if they were puffballs or not. Though she could tell it wasn't really feeling up for a fight since it seemed to be shaking like crazy. Also feeling sorry for it, Ignis brought out her Lunar Eclipse and dashed up to the penguin, piercing it fight in the stomach. The penguin followed the flow of the keyblade and then was thrust through the air to land further away on the ground. As Ignis was ready for the next penguin to step up, she watched as the one she had just hit managed to stand up again. Then she noticed that it had landed in the middle of a snowbank. At that point there was nothing to feel but pity for the thing, seeing as it was only doing its job. She readied to knock it out once and for all and continue on.
