History WMG / KeychainOfCreation

When the Usurpation was coming down like ten thousand tons of bricks, a Sidereal who disagreed vehemantly - maybe one very personally intimately connected with Misho, who felt he was certainly not worth the wrath that he was about to recieve, or perhaps one who simply believed that this treason was wrong, decided to 'save' him in the only way she could. She used ''Draw Forth One Shard'', one of the high-level Obsidian Shards of Infinity Charms, to ''duplicate'' him, choosing the 'Shard learns everything the original learns' choice. Then the duplicate was rendered swiftly unconcious, and hidden as the Usurpation came down like a thousand tons of bricks. The original Thrice-Radiant Misho is killed, and she decides to hide her Misho copy very, very well - along with Eternal Dawn. She set him up to awaken at some time in the distant future, and the difference from the original was in his Essence trait - essentially, she dropped him back to a very low Essence score, which also robbed him of most of his Charms and any ability scores he would have needed the high Essence to sustain.

Unfortunately, the messenger gods are too busy throwing things at Nemen Yi to do their jobs.

** In other words, think [[VideoGame/{{Touhou}} Yakumo Yukari]]. Minor looking power (unlocking, manipulation of boundaries) can be used in really broken circumstances. For example: The Deathlords cannot die; therefore you might say they are bound - or maybe, *locked* - to life. Therefore the Deathlords can be killed by someone with all five keys. Which makes you wonder how the God of Locks was killed in the first place...

When he ripped out his heart to forge the sword, he actually bound his exaltation into the sword, then stuck it in something King Arthur style. Then when someone tries to lift the sword & meets the right qualifications the "Exalt" as Misho. He was far into the Great Curse effects at the time, so it doesn't just give them his memories & power. No-one would every be able to do as much good with his power as he could, so his soul actually overrides & overwrites their entire personality, memory, appearance, & identity. Current Misho's body was once a Scavenger Lord looking for treasure. What he is is so antithetical to his values that he's repressed all knowledge of what he did, so he really thinks he returned the normal way. This is also why he didn't take the sword with him.

* Misho was {{Frank Miller}}. That ought to explain his adversion to blood and casual sex.

[[WMG: The Chosen of Battles is a gender-swapped [[KingdomHearts Roxas]].]]
She dual-wields key[[strike:blade]]s, one of which could justifiably be referred to as the Key of Destiny. She has spiky, vaguely brownish (arguably orange, but whatever) hair. Since she's a Sidereal, once she leaves, no one will remember she was there. You could even argue that, because of how the Sidereals work and what they do, she could accurately be described as a Nobody. KingdomHearts characters travel to new worlds all the time, some of which are even more physically improbable than Creation. And sometimes their appearances even change to forms appropriate to the new world, which may account for the gender discrepancy.
