Username:: James Phobos
Name:: Voxden (formerly Devon Hawking)
Age:: Who the ******** knows/mid-20s
Personality:: There are quite a few ways to describe Voxden, and most of them happen to be negative. Having been a psychotic b*****d with no regards for others in life, not much has changed since then, with one exception: hiis deranged, obsessive loyalty to Ienzo. When it comes to the Heartless, Voxden becomes even more extremely violent than he normally is, and loses all semblance of control. Most of the time, however, he acts laid back, sarcastic, perverted, and doesn't seem to take anything seriously. This is something of a farse, for if given a task by Ienzo, Voxden will stop at nothing to fulfill it, no matter how brutally hurt he becomes in the process. He also doesn't seem to be too affected by physical pain, partially due to his abilities.
Bio:: Devon Hawking, at first, gave no indication of his own madness. He had grown up in a rather normal, if distant, home. For a good long while, there was no indication he was as mad as a hatter. He passed highshcool without incident, went on to college to become a doctor like his mother wanted... And at some point, although no one knows when, he began to kidnap and dissect people. There was no reason, no academic interest, no hatred towards the rest of humanity... It was almost like he did what he did as if he were a child: He was bored. Even when he became a doctor, passing through college with flying colors, he didn't give up his little 'hobby', picking anyone he happened to be passing by on a random day of the week. No rhyme, no reason, just boredom... And perhaps a savage, twisted sort of amusement and curiosity at looking inside a person.
However, like most criminals with a reckless kind of insanity, he was eventually caught. It surprised no one that he was put on death row, especially not Devon himself. He wasn't determined to let himself die in such a way so easily, though, so, faking injury, he managed to get himself inside the prison infirmary. That was where he proceeded to slaughter everyone nearby with a mixture of his own bare hands, but mostly a pen that was on a close-by desk. Satisfied that he'd die in a way of his own choosing, Devon waited for eventual death, not even aware that in the process, Heartless had begun to sprout up in his world, and had stolen his heart in the middle of his psychotic death wish. He dismissed the moving shadows as images of his own twisted mind... Until Ienzo, still recovering from the destruction of his homeworld, stumbled upon him in that same infirmary.
The newly created 'Voxden' fell in both love and obsession with the Heartless almost instantly.
Rather quickly, a deal was forged, and Voxden escaped his prison with Ienzo. The deal was originally that Voxden would act as the weaker Ienzo's protector, but when it was obvious that Voxden was already too willing for that, things changed.... It's now been close to a decade since the partnership was forged, and since then, the Heartless and Nobody have enveloped themselves in a sort of twisted relationship. Voxden may have no heart to truly love a person, but he's already too far insane to care, and isn't 'love' just another sort of 'obsession' anyway? That's not something that you need a heart to do...
Weapon:: When all you have is a giant scalpel....
Homeworld:: A world labeled only as CSI
Race:: Nobody
Other:: Voxden's 'element' is something akin to symbiosis. He is capable of merging himself with other things, a talent he usually demonstrates by merging parts of his body with his giant scalpel. However, he is also capable of regenerating himself. If he is just by himself, then these restorations are very minor, and doing it tires him extremely. However, if there are other living things nearby, Voxden becomes a parasite, draining health from them to regenerate his own. His code name among the Desunt Cetera crew is 'White Knight'.

Sort of a d**k.
Username:: James Phobos
Name:: Xandra (formerly Nadra Santoya)
Age:: 27
Personality:: If one managed to keep Xandra silent and still, they'd discover she acts very much like a life-sized doll. She's a pretty but emotionles thing, with not even the memories of emotion flickering behind her eyes. But once she's in motion, her personality manages to show herself, although the slight mechanical monotone from her voice never quite leaves. She's a blunt woman, with no care for the thoughts or feelings of others. Honesty is her specialty, and the only time she holds herself back is when she wants something, a trait she's learned from past experiences. This means she treats everyone almost equally, and never shows any favor. At best, she's content, and at worse, she shows only the slightest signs of annoyance at other people's actions. However, she's not completely unlikeable, and can show traits of caring... Although it's hard to spot them beneath all that swearing and bluntness.
Bio:: There was no denying that Nadra was a genius. Ever since she had been young, she had shown a vivid intelligence, and was adept at mathmatics, and later mechanics and computers. However, she had a problem: she couldn't properly feel. The emotions that did make their way to her mind were faint, watered down, and instinctively, Nadra knew something was wrong, although she didn't know what. The thing was, her heart wasn't properly connected to her mind, or her soul. This made it more susceptible to being lost, although, of course, Nadra didn't know this, and neither did the rest of her world.
Right when she was in the equivalent of highschool, the Heartless were released on Radiant Garden. The universe was thrown out of balance, and strange things started to happen on some worlds. On Nadra's, gummi blocks started to train from the skies. Now, her world was extremely advanced technologically, and quickly got to work building Gummi Ships. Their big project? A gigantic Gumm Ship to take into space. Once Nadra graduated, she quickly was absorbed into the program. Soon, the USS Hermes was completed, and it shot off into space to explore, carrying a large crew on it. However, Nadra still had her problem with feeling emotions. Trying to reason with herself, she thought that if a big enough event happened to her personally, it would somehow unlock her heart. The big event she decided on was murdering the entire crew of the USS Hermes remotely from a secure control center. Needless to say, it didn't work, and soon, with invading Heartless onboard, Nadra lost her heart. If asked, she honestly wouldn't have known the difference. It was just her, alone, on the gigantic, almost city-like ship.
However, news of the abandoned ship quickly reached Ienzo's ears, and he appeared to give her an offer: the ship would be their new home, she would work with him, and he would try to get her heart back. Nadra, after thinking it through, figured that at the very least, she would now have a purpose. That's how it's been for her for the last six years. Along with lesser Nobodies known as Circuits, she's kept the newly named Desunt Cetera running, and after salvaging destroyed gummi ships and absorbing those of Heartless, Desunt Cetera has grown slightly bigger. Xandra doesn't mind, and even almost likes working with Ienzo. His presence causes echos of emotion within her, and while they're not hers, they'll have to do, and she knows she likes him anyway.
Weapon:: Technically a laptop, but because that's a slow method, she often carries around a pair of dual blasters, courtesy of her old world
Homeworld:: The Desunt Cetera logs state it as Coruscant
Race:: Nobody
Other:: Xandra's element is 'information'. While this seems vague, there's more to it. Using touch, Nadra can tell certain things about an object. For example, if she touches a gun, she can tell how it's made, what it's made of, but she won't know how to automatically shoot it, unless she uses her laptop to connect to a person who can use that weapon. That then transfers it to a small chip, which she inserts into the back of her neck, which has an open port, although she usually covers it with a choker. This isn't a permanent feature, however, and Xandra can only 'learn' a few weapons on her laptop. On the downside, her touch is extremely sensitive, and for some reason, if she touches human skin, she tends to go into an 'overload', often ending up nauseous, and going into a seizure at worst. Her title as a member of the Desunt Cetera crew is 'White Bishop'.

Shotgun pretty.
Username:: James Phobos
Name:: Ienzo 'Zo'
Age:: 28 in mind, 18 in appearance
Personality:: Unlike his Nobody, Ienzo seems almost childish in comparison. He seems to take an odd delight in the most simple of things, and cherishes the things he has. This is from his experience of losing Radiant Garden, an event Ienzo has no desire to repeat. Like Zexion, Ienzo is extremely polite, and despite how immature he sometimes acts, there is no doubt that he is just as cunning and intelligent as his other half. Unfortunately, Heartless are not the most stable of beings, and this means that Ienzo is prone to mental breakdowns. However, he has a good control of himself, most of the time, so long as he has his precious photo album with him, or is with Xandra or Voxden.
Bio:: While Zexion started up the Organization with the rest of the former apprentices of Ansem the Wise, Ienzo was left behind, a newly born and thankfully human-looking Heartless. With a heart full of emotions he almost couldn't control, Ienzo practically hid in the ruins of Radiant Garden, a pathetic mess. Soon, after he had managed to control himself a little better with the help of an old photo album the original Ienzo once possessed, the Heartless realized he couldn't just stay there forever, and set out into the other worlds. That is how he met Voxden, and realized how vulnerable he truly was. After making an offer to Voxden, Ienzo set off again with the new Nobody by his side, unsure of what to do. Soon, it became clear: he couldn't live his life like this forever, a mess of a monster. He would have to lose the darkness that he possessed, and merge back with his Nobody, Zexion. But how?
Trying to work on this problem, Ienzo spent the next few years picking up where the original apprentices left off, except this time, the research would go into a different direction. Things truly took a direction for the best when Ienzo heard, thanks to other Heartless, about the almost empty gummi ship simply floating through space. After an initial meeting with Xandra, Ienzo gained his second ally, and a new mobile headquarters which could disappear off the radar in the blink of an eye. With the help of Voxden and Xandra, Ienzo worked even harder to find a way to restore himself to normal while staying off the radar. While he was doing this, he caught wind of the things the Organization was doing, and realized that he couldn't just stand back. However, now it's too late, and things are looking pretty hopeless...
But weak hearts don't make Nobodies, and Ienzo doesn't plan on giving up yet. If only out of personal spite towards Xehanort most of all, who he had once been infatuated with, he refuses to let the Organization win.
Weapon:: Ienzo tends not to fight, and mostly uses tricks to beat his opponents, along with whatever is on hand.
Homeworld:: Radiant Garden
Race:: Heartless
Other:: While he doesn't carry a weapon, Ienzo does have one other trick up his sleeve: the black labcoat he has is actually a shapeshifting Heartless named Zila, who accompanies him almost everywhere he goes because of this. They have an almost symbiotic relationship, feeling the same things the other feels when Zila is in coat-form.
