Kingdom Hearts Tai by UlurNaga on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

So I FINALLY got around to doing a 'Kingdom Hearts' version of my Dirge of Cerberus OC, Tai Lochier.

Actually SO HAPPY with how this came out ♥

Sora meets Tai during the events of the first game, hanging out in Cid's accessory shop. After her world was destroyed and she made it to Traverse Town, she began searching for a comrade of hers, Vincent Valentine.

She seems to have a close affiliation with Yuffie, from what Sora can gather they seem to have come from the same world. Tai decides that Sora's group is her best bet at finding her friend, and so she invites herself on their travels without so much as a thought to their opinions.

Tai is brash, quick-tempered and terribly bratty. She doesn't like it when people are 'better' at things than she is, and will go out of her way to make sure everyone KNOWS when she's right. Tai also carries a flask of alcohol with her at all times, though she has never been seen drinking from it in company.

She's a foul-mouthed tomboy with an inferiority complex, and Vincent Valentine seems to be both her worst rival and loyal friend, because it is clear she will stop at nothing to find him.

---------
Action Commands/Abilities:

Fire Cry

- A beneficial move where Tai will use a small amount of MP to imbue the party with a temporary strength boost.

Big Bang - A fairly standard strength, ranged attack where Tai tosses a stick of dynamite at foes; capable of damaging multiple targets.

Cheap Shot - Tai will use an item to inflict a random status ailment on all enemies within susceptible range.

Trade Off - As she does not use 'magic' spells in particular, Tai is instead able to sacrifice half of her current of HP to restore a small amount for another team mate. Though not without great complaint on her part.

Kamikaze - Tai sacrifices all but 1 HP to revive a fallen party member. Susceptible to 'Confusion' status after use, recommend healing immediately after use.

Limit Break/Overdrive:

Falcon's Barrage

- Tai will use every explosive in her arsenal to deal significant amounts of damage in a myriad of fire-based attacks. Party members must clear the area, as the attack will damage not only enemies, but allies as well.
----------

Tai's heart, despite her gruff nature and terrible temper, is in the right place. She is loyal to those who fight alongside her, and her explosives often give the opportunity for Sora and his team to escape tight situations.

However, Tai is left-handed, and wears a brace on her left arm due to a previous injury leaving the limb weakened. When asked about this injury, she becomes short and very angry.

Although she enjoys bragging about her accomplishments, not much is known about her past, or her affiliation with the crew of Traverse Town. It is certain however, that she is intent on finding her lost friend.

And she will stop at nothing to do so.
