Maybe consider giving Kairi a Glider like Aqua's?
Oh God! Natural light!Hang glider?
@Karkat: I'm glad that you like them! It took me a while for to come up with them, even if some of them are walking talking shout out to franchises I like. I can't draw though...
@Dorked: This Ivalice is a fusion fic of Tactics and Tactics Advance so finding a master Blue Mage like Strago or a master Mystic Knight.
You gotta start somewhere.Which franchise is this?
Really, I'm just glad you decided to avert The Smurfette Principle.
Oh God! Natural light!I and II: The tale from Irish myth, Deirdre of the Sorrows.
III: Gihren Zabi.
IV: Saber from Fate stay night.
You gotta start somewhere.I see. Care to give us more of them?
Oh God! Natural light!I would but I don't feel well, the browser ate my post and I need to take care of my step-dad's dog.
Sorry.
You gotta start somewhere.Well, whenever you're ready, you can.
Oh God! Natural light!And about the Smurfette Principle...
I don't give a crap if a character identifies as a trans-sexual were-wolf who hates nuts at a Bar Mitzvah, if their supposed to be badass then they'll be badass.
V: Brilliant, but Lazy the character. Visually, I was going to base him off of Masaki Ando from the Super Robot Wars/Taisen Original Generation series but I could turn him female... They use wind attacks and can sharpen their scimitar to the point where they can cut buildings like ribbons.
VI: An evil take on Shonen heroes. He's The Social Darwinist and is an asshole who mocks the victims of the increased Heartless population. Visually, he's Kenshiro with ice powers instead of making people's heads explode by pushing pressure points.
VII: A middle aged lady who looks like she's 25. She's a total narcissist and a utter sadist. She's such a sadist, in fact, NONE of the New Organization XIII want nothing to do with her other then III and XIII. She's also very petty to the point that she amushes and tortures the SI, simply because he grazed her face with a laser bolt and for good measure, cuts out his eyes, forcing him to replace them with better artificial eyes. She's basically Hilda from Fire Emblem Genealogy of the Holy War. She can manipulate metal to form weapons and uses it to capture people.
You gotta start somewhere.Good to hear. Not quite sure what that has to do with The Smurfette Principle, though. Badassery doesn't factor into it so much as gender ratios do.
I also have a character who I started to envision as an evil version of a Shonen hero, although she'd probably be more sympathetic than what you have in mind. I've planned here out to be a sort of Evil Counterpart to Sora, in that she's sort of like a Magnetic Villain, cares deeply for her friends, and would be very hurt if she was betrayed by one of them. More composed than Sora, though, and while she'd be difficult to get angry, she'd also be really scary when she actually does.
Good ideas all around, although I also think that maybe you could stand to give V and VI a few more defining traits to set them apart from the others.

Oh God! Natural light!I need help naming them.
As for VI, he's essentially a Shonen hero if you didn't give them friends and let them get drunk on their power so hard that he turned evil. He's essentially what I think what people think about Shonen manga/anime AKA power. He thinks that he's a typical Shonen hero and we're the mooks to the main trio's Big Bad Duumvirate. Oh, nope, nope, nope. And thanks to his Idiot "Hero" tendencies and having no charisma, his men just ditch him.

You gotta start somewhere.This isn't going to become an Author Tract, is it? Because raging against shonen heroes may end up alienating some of your readers. What kind of traits are we talking about here anyway?
Oh God! Natural light!No. I just thought that it was the most logical conclusion. And I like Shonen.
You gotta start somewhere.Alright then. What kind of traits are we talking about here?
Oh God! Natural light!Just his Social Darwinist shtick is a shout out to the Chaos alignment from the Shin Megami Tensei series. And runs on Might Makes Right and social Darwinism. He's just drunk on his own hype and power.
You gotta start somewhere.Random thought: anyone ever considered a world based on professional wrestling? Whether it's Ultimate Muscle, or something based on real-life wrestling like the WWE?
Go with Ultimate Muscle, using real life stuff is weird.
You gotta start somewhere.I just bring up the WWE as a possibility, for an excuse to bring in the ridiculous amount of ham and cheese in there.
Like, have Saix doing his typical stoic evil monologue thing, and then suddenly-
OOOOHHHH ORGANIZATION XIII!!! DON'T YOU DARE!! BE SOUR!! CLAP! FOR YOUR TWO-TIME! WORLD! HEAVYWEIGHT! TAG-TEAM CHAMPS! AND FEEEEEL!!! THE POWWAAAAGGHHH!!! IT'S A NEW DAY, YES IT IS!!!
And then the KH cast in attendance are all having these epic WTF reactions.
...I'unno, I just thought it'd be funny, is all.
I think that they would be... um...
I don't think that they would have a response other then giving a Flat "What".
You gotta start somewhere.That brand of Large Ham doesn't really fit into KH.
If a tree falls in the forest and nobody remembers it, who else will you have ice cream with?So uh, my fan-fic...
So, here are the masters that the SI and his friends will train under during the Time Skip. Not all of them are here so:
SI: An OC who is Genkai from Yu Yu Hakusho and Pai Mei from Kill Bill were put in a blender and with the purae setting switched on. She teaches him several variations of Muay Thai and to channel chi to the point where he can shatter concrete buildings via Training from Hell. Also, he spars with the other monks who use weapons and gets normal training from them which he is thankful for. He goes to Irvine for more gun training.
Sophie (Black Mage OC): I think I said this before but she goes to a temple of Mystic Knights that specializes in training the body due to her Squishy Wizard nature. She gains two skills unique to her: Flare Blade and Ultima Raid. She also develops the magical equivalent of Krav Maga with Kairi.
I'll post more later.
You gotta start somewhere.Uh... sorry guys but my laptop is in the shop and I won't get it back or a new one until a week and a half has passed at the earliest.
Do you think that I should have Xehanort be The Man Behind the Man for the New Organization XIII and the Warriors of Chaos?

You gotta start somewhere.I would wait until KH 3 comes out before making that decision.
That's a pretty long wait then.
Not sure about the glider, but for the Omnidroid you could have Syndrome deliberately infuse it with Heartlessness to make it more badass and scary. I mean, it's not going to be a problem because he's not going to lose control of it, riiight?
