APPEARANCE:: His appearance is befitting a nineteen year old who maintains a rather gruff appearance. He possesses piercing electric blue eyes that are stern yet shy. He possesses stubble as an indicator of his attempts at growing facial hair. He is known to wear a red trench coat with a black interior and collar. Beneath the coat he wears a black leather cuirass over a black sleeveless t-shirt. His hands are generally uncovered to allow for a more natural flow of his chakra. His arms bear the emblem of the Chaser, reminding him daily of the price for his earlier arrogance, the Chaser’s symbol looks remarkably similar to the Heartless emblem, yet it lacks the jagged cross in the center and the border is a vivid green instead of red.
PERSONALITY:
He wants to protect those that he can. In a normal day he is often playful, joking, and sometimes he comes across as dense or idiotic. He carries a lot of things close to his chest yet will open up when he feels comfortable enough around a person. Generally when the chips are down his personality does a complete one eighty and he turns into a calm and calculative individual. He may lack the ability to predict conversational exchanges, but he is still competent in battle. He is known for turning the inherent weaknesses of his abilities to his advantage, for example, when he temporarily is woozy from casting his spells in rapid succession he . However, he is no slouch when it comes to magic, though he would be the first to tell you he is no master of magic.
He isn’t overly compassionate believing that enemies who are indeed too dangerous will never change their ways for the better. However, he isn’t the type who believes all should die for petty mistakes. He sees it as a matter of going with one’s gut. He is fiercely loyal to his friends and will do anything to protect them and he will often seek ways to ensure those he’s partnered with survive even if it means placing himself at risk. He believes firmly in taking the right path to power and not the fastest; learning from a near fatal mistake in his past.
HISTORY:
Jacen Noland was born at the Radiant Gardens and raised by his parents. His parents died during the invasion of the Nobodies and Heartless as they were part of the Restoration Committee; however, they saw no active combat, instead serving primarily as healers. They were killed by debris flying around the battlefield and Jacen, who was only seventeen, had just begun his martial arts training and thus knew nothing about it until it was too late. Jacen was heartbroken to be sure; however, he resolves to become as strong as he can in order to prevent another from going through that sort of pain again. Such ambition at first was lauded by his teacher as it gave Jacen focus in improving and doing better; however, this led him down a dark path. Unfortunately, this revelation came too little too late for Jacen as he found himself making the same mistake Xehanort had nearly a decade ago. Jacen had been split into a Heartless and a Nobody at the age of eighteen and sat horrified seeing his own eyes a fierce golden color. Almost immediately he began to feel an insatiable hunger for hearts as was the common trend of Heartless.
His master, Kai, had alerted him to the danger he was and became concerned Jacen would lose his identity to the darkness that he was somehow keeping at bay. Jacen began to pour over books in the Villain’s Vale learning all that he could in regards to the relationship of Heartless and Nobodies when he came across the term: CHASER. Jacen had understood that Chasers were those engraved metal, but…there was something that was almost compelling in his mind:
Find your Nobody…
Find your Nobody…
Find your Nobody…
[/right]Of course there was an equally strong voice in his head beckoning him to consume hearts, but he hung closer to the voice compelling him to find his Nobody more than anything. Perhaps it felt as if that was the only way he could retain his identity despite the growing darkness surrounding his thoughts. It still isn’t clear to him in the present day. Jacen would later travel to a world called Figment Plateau where he would meet with a group of people called the League of Chasers.
The League began educating Jacen on a means through which he could retain the identity he cherished greatly by focusing on the goal of becoming complete. For a single year, Jacen would live among and train with the individuals in the Monastery, gaining an insight for what the Chasers called the Almighty, whether it was God or not, Jacen didn’t know, but for a time, he understood the old adage: Sometimes faith is the only thing one really can have.
In a year’s time, Jacen had grown as a person, he had believed his mistake had been in the selfish desire to become stronger and it was through the desperation that he wanted to become powerful and it was by that unfortunate error in judgment he found himself opening his heart to darkness. He eventually tracked down his Nobody, who had been going by the name of Argos, at the End of Worlds. Argos had been dedicating his life to trying to reconstruct Kingdom Hearts in the hopes that it would give him the power he desired. Argos had become the twisted representation of Jacen’s lust for power as evidenced by Argos’ desire to become a god and rule as he saw fit.
Argos and Jacen clashed viciously in the World Terminus traveling through the representation of worlds Jacen had traveled to in his search for his Nobody. Finally, Jacen had managed to deal a fatal blow to his Nobody as Argos had done to him. As both lay dying their bodies had begun fading and intermingling with one another. As both died, their individual forms ceased to be and Jacen was born anew, whole and complete. Jacen retained the Chaser tattoos on his arms; however, he lost the ability to travel the Corridors of Darkness. It didn’t matter to him, he was whole again and this time he would pursue the right path to power instead of the quickest.
At the age of nineteen, Jacen had returned to what one could call life; however, the League of Chasers had thrown everything he understood about the Heartless out along with the metaphorical baby’s bathwater. Jacen has begun traveling the worlds in the hopes of discovering what exactly there is that he doesn’t understand.

Walking through the darkness of the night proved to be utterly relaxing especially after the utter misery he had gone through for a full year. His coat billowed in the breeze as his hands crackled with electricity. The yellow eyes peered at him curiously through the blackness of the alleyway, he sighed before hearing the billowing of wind and the flexing of soundwaves indicating the arrival of several Heartless, he laughed, “Well…Linus was right…” He chuckled, “The Heartless are a relentless lot.”
He stood tall as the Heartless approached him, surrounding him and cutting off all means of escape. He glanced around trying to take a survey of open areas; however, the armored soldiers had approached menacingly with their blades aimed directly at him. He immediately pointed at the armored heartless with his index and middle fingers before smirking, “Thunder.” He said in an almost cold tone.
Lightning shot from his fingers like a bullet from a gun and pierced through the chest of one Heartless, “One down and a crapton more to go.” He shook his head.
He gripped his longsword and drew it swiftly creating a loud ring in the air. He parried one blade away before he delivered a vertical slash splitting the assailing Heartless in two. Jacen pivoted and rushed after a Defender dodging the thrust of the shield. He ducked under the backswing and rolled under the sideswing of the massive shield before he furrowed his brow in concentration, I get it… the shield may be strong, but…it’s too heavy to wield properly…
He ducked again before jamming the point of his sword through the Defender’s gap in armor before the small Heartless squad disappeared in a flash. Jacen stood surprised at the recent development before shrugging off the concern in favor of getting a drink.
