Character Information
Name: Axel
Canon: Kingdom Hearts
Canon Point: Immediately upon his death
Age: 26, Same age as Saix
History: Wiki here
Personality: Axel is a complicated person, though he'd claim that statement to be wrong because he's not a somebody, a person, at all. He's what's called a Nobody, which is a being without a metaphysical heart, and thus (usually) only pantomimes emotions.
Among Nobodies, Axel is the most temperamental, however; due to exposure to the keyblade wielder's heart, he regained some true emotion by the time of his death (he can laugh, he can cry, he can feel), but he'd be the last to admit that, or really expect it. He's not the type to think he deserves good things.
This is because the man is deeply cynical. That also explains his sarcasm. However, he's somewhat gentler with friends, though the sarcasm remains.
His best friend, Roxas, knows him as a generally kind soul, if a little vindictive. His enemies, however, know him as merciless and cruel, a tricky sort who doesn't care about collateral damage. Both his friends and foes know him as loyal to those he believes he owes loyalty to, and dogged in his pursuits, though these are not always predictable.
Indeed, Axel is a talented actor and near impossible to read, let alone fully understand, even to his friends. Furthermore, even he has difficulty rectifying what he is with the fact that he can still laugh or cry, and an only slightly easier time with the fact that he can kill a former ally without mercy one day and laugh and eat ice cream with friends the next. This dissonance is not easy to cope with from the outside, let alone the inside, and it leaves Axel... less than stable.
Despite instabilities, and the lack of self-worth they and his Nobody status bring, Axel found the determination in the end to save Sora's life by sacrificing his own - a small price to pay to see his best friend's Somebody live on, as far as he was concerned. Even in pain and dying, he managed to laugh off his sacrifice, and let himself fade away.
Abilities: Fire manipulation, summoning and use of chakram weapons, fire creation. Axel is a talented fighter in general, and a master assassin. He's pretty smart and manipulative as well.
Strengths: Good at presenting a front, talented manipulator, strong fighter, loyal, friendly
Weaknesses: Overly loyal, wrapped in layers of falsehood, two-faced, low self-esteem, easily emotionally compromised
God/Shinki: God
Why?: I want him to retain his memories faster, for the sake of his friends in TFS. Also no Axel's been a god before as far as I know! Treading new ground!
Top 3 Choices: Hestia, Freyr, Sekhmet, in that order
God Type: Both benevolent and hostile in turn, Axel will be a god who acts on his own desires first. The prayers and missions he will act on will usually be whatever strikes his unpredictable fancy; the more interesting and involved, the better! He'll be relatively interested in people's personal lives, especially.
Power: Sacrificial Immolation (burning stuff to grant temporary boosts to divine power of himself or other gods, amount of power based on the value of the item to the sacrificer) if Hestia, Weapon Manipulation (non-shinki only) if Freyr or Sekhmet
Writing Sample
Sample: Test drive, see thread with Roxas

Anything Else?: I'd rather have a player shinki than a NPC one, I guess is relevant? Either way is fine, but preference leans that-a-ways.SaveSaveSave
