Basic Info

Name:	Vexen, the Chilly Academic

Bio

+BIO

Name: Vexen a.k.a. IV, The Chilly Academic, Even
Age: 32 [indefinitely so, now that he's dead, but with two years in the mansion he's technically 34]
Occupation: Scientist
Personality: Vexen is condescending at best, acidic at worst; most of the time, however, he prefers to maintain the veneer of a cool, aloof individual, speaking formally as the situation allows. An intellectual at heart, he possesses a fondness for debate and wittier conversation, but his pride and his temper are more brittle than he'd like to admit, and-- depending on the degree of insult given-- it can be almost ridiculously easy to rile him up.

+BACKGROUND+

A scientist affiliated with ice and one of the six members of the Organization sent to Castle Oblivion to waylay the Keyblade Master, Vexen is a master of ice magic and one of Ansem the Wise's six apprentices-- the original Nobodies. Losing his heart is something he considers a regrettable but ultimately profitable event, in that he's lost a majority of his hang-ups and pettiness with it, but he acts relatively 'normal' despite his lack of one, so one has to question if he's merely fooling himself.

After all, even without a heart, fear continues to dominate his life.

His demise at VIII's hands has left him slightly disconcerted and shaken, mainly because of a significant period spent in a limbo even further removed than this 'Wonderland'-- he's almost glad to be here, because it's far better than being on his own. He seems to have trouble recalling specific events, but the amount of damage to his memory is uncertain, and he seems to operate fine despite it. He is determined to avoid his killer, XI, XII, and the Keyblade Master, if at all possible, mainly because he'd have nothing to say, but also because he wouldn't have anything to say even if he did.

+MANSION DEVELOPMENT+

Mansion Development:
- Vexen received a heart as part of a mansion event, and now has a full complement of emotions he finds himself uncertain of how to deal with.
- While he continues to hold a grudge against Axel and the other traitors of the Organization, he prefers to keep on the lowdown and avoid direct conflict.
- Because of mansion events, Vexen has lost the words 'Nobody','Heartless', 'Trinity', 'Other' and 'Radiant Garden' from his mind, and does not know what they refer to unless someone explains it to him. ~~Way to look like you've got early Alzheimer's, dude. ._.~~
- After an encounter with a room of 'punishment' in the otherworld created by Walter's 21 Sacraments, as well as the punishment wrought by Lobsel Vith for his neglect, Vexen has a number of freshly-healed burns on his arms and torso, and his singed-off hair has been cut off to form a more practical hairdo. Thanks to the abilities of Homunculus, his hair has been restored to its former length and appearance.
- A strange being calling himself Homunculus has presented Vexen with a most unusual task: to sift through the mansion's history as an observer, noting down what he may. To aid in this task, Vexen has been given a special gift-- the Digipad.
- Homunculus has left the mansion, but the Digipad remains in Vexen's possession.
- During an event in which the mansion's residents were affected by hallucinogens, Saix has seen fit to give Vexen a ring. Despite denying any plans for any kind of more formal union, the scientist always wears it on his person, sometimes on a chain around his neck. Despite Saix's disappearance from the mansion, Vexen keeps the ring on his person.
- Vexen has some scarring across his stomach from being injured by El Lagos during the Resident Evil event.
- Vexen has set up a three-room laboratory on the third floor. This is to be used for further research into the detrimental effect this place has on the memories of its inhabitants.

+RELATIONSHIPS+

Saix: An awkward relationship, at best. The less spoken of it, the better, in Vexen's opinion, but the berserker seems less inclined to let it go.
Kobato: Although he's largely uncertain of what to make of her optimism and the unusual amount of attention and sympathy she seems to have for him and Saix, Vexen doesn't reject her company. He may even, much to his own irritation, enjoy it. She's more or less one of the few people who genuinely cares about him, which feeds into his ego.
~~The Replica~~ Arland: A surprisingly amicable relationship, or as much as can reasonably be expected. The Replica no longer serves any purpose to the scientist, at least not in terms of research potential; in turn, the scientist no longer seems to consider the replica his responsibility. That doesn't stop him from snapping at him when he gets out of of line.
Namine: While he retains an interest in her abilities as a memory-manipulator, Vexen's considerably warier about approaching her-- now that he has a heart whose memories can be manipulated, the witch represents both a bigger potential and a bigger threat.
[More soon. Maybe?]
