My Nobody Would Be Roxani, Or Possibly Rixareth.

[rionaleonhart]

You know, Otacon would be sort of delightful as the Doctor's companion. He would be so fascinated by everything. (He would also be terrified, but he would never be able to leave the Doctor, on account of having fallen madly in love with the TARDIS.)

Other possible companions for the Doctor (I've posted on this topic before, of course, but the possibilities are never quite exhausted): Sora, Riku and Kairi. The trio have been planning for years to build a raft and sail away from Destiny Island together. One night, their island is overrun by Heartless and swallowed up by the darkness. Sora, Riku and Kairi are standing back-to-back-to-back on Riku's favourite part of the island, slashing ineffectually at the little shadowy creatures with their wooden swords, and just when all hope seems lost a blue box materialises before them.

Riku doesn't trust the Doctor at all; he's convinced that he is the one responsible for the destruction of their home. Sora trusts him completely, though, and Kairi, despite some initial wariness, seems to like him, so Riku rolls his eyes and steps into the TARDIS. Just to make sure his friends don't get themselves killed.

...hey, wait. This is completely unrelated to the characters-as-the-Doctor's-companion subject, but does Riku have a Nobody? (Kixur? Kirux?) Surely it would make sense. He did have the Heartless symbol on his chest in the first game, so I sort of assumed there was at least a period of being a Heartless. (I was going to say 'a period of Heartlessness', but of course the Heartless aren't heartless. It's the Nobodies that don't have hearts. In fact, Nobodies are just, er, bodies. DEAR KINGDOM HEARTS: YOUR NAMING SYSTEM MAKES PRECISELY NO SENSE.)


OTHER CHARACTERS WHO SHOULD BE THE DOCTOR'S COMPANION: DONNA NOBLE.

YES, SHE IS A CANONICAL COMPANION, BUT SHE SHOULD BE HIS COMPANION ALL THE TIME.

I love you, Donna.


Unrelatedly: yesterday, when I posted my ill-advised Captain John Hart: Team Rocket Agent manip, dracothelizard asked who his team partner would be.

The obvious answer was 'Suzie Costello'.

They've never met in canon, of course, but I have a feeling that they could make a rather marvellous team. Jack's Houndoom, Gwen's Eevee/Flareon, Ianto's Aerodactyl and Owen's Carvanha had better watch out. (Tosh's Porygon lives in the computer system, so it's probably safe. UNTIL HART AND COSTELLO INFECT THE TORCHWOOD COMPUTER SYSTEM WITH A VIRUS AND IT EVOLVES INTO PORYGON-Z, OH NO.)


On an even less related note: this morning, I received a large envelope in the post.

It contained a High School Musical paper plate and nothing else.

Most perplexing. (wanttobeatree... wanttobeatree? Was that you?)

Troy looks like a Hobbit on it and I don't know why.

That makes sense! I'd like to pretend it doesn't, because speculating on Riku's Nobody could be rather fun, but, alas, that does make sense.

Hmm. 'Drixank' and 'Krandix' can be pronounced, at least, but they do sound rather silly. The best I can get out of 'Patrick' is 'PTRACKIX WITH A SILENT P', however, which, er, doesn't really work at all.

Vixorel is a brilliant name.

Kurix and the "Chain of Memories" Riku Replica go on a crazy tour of the Final Fantasy worlds, and end up in a gambling hall with Late-Teenaged Seifer and Reno thoroughly insisting that they have a system. The existence of Reno is a necessity in the Kingdom Hearts world, as after all, Axel is Reno's Nobody.

I had Reaction Commands worked out for them, too; no, wait, I'd stolen existing Reaction Commands. Saionji's Nobody had Duel Stance. Vixorel was basically just Xigbar all over again.

I WOULD READ THAT. I would probably read it multiple times.

(Axel as Reno's nobody does work worryingly well. It is a shame that Kingdom Hearts II obviously got Axel's name wrong. (Xehanort's Nobody's name comes from Xehanort's pseudonym, so I suppose it's conceivable that Axel took his name from a false name Reno used, but surely in that case it would be an x-enhanced anagram of 'Leonard Wangtabulous'.))

Reno once said that he liked beer so much he was going to legally change his name to "Ale", and the rest is history.

[rionaleonhart]

I cannot decide whether this theory is more horrifying or beautiful. Whichever it is, I have no doubt that it is entirely plausible.

NAIJIXOS. That was Saionji's Nobody's name. I had forgotten.

It was really the best I could do. I wholly forget what I tried to mash together out of Quisits, though.

[rionaleonhart]

Stixiqus! ...possibly not. Quxisist! Sutisqix! QUISTIS, HAVE A MORE EASILY NOBODIED NAME.

(Xu's not easy, either. Unless she's a Nobody already, of course. Of someone named, er, 'U'.)
