@Art_Critic_Cubone: Hmm...comments, eh? Well, besides the fact that the main villain could use a bit more credit to his name (Anyone could have gone and made a vague treath like that, you know. What has this guy done to prove his big words and merit a ginormous bounty being placed on his head?) I think the chi system could use some improvement.
I mean, with this system your character can only be good at one thing and one thing only, which kind of gives certain types an unfair advantage over others. What good is the barrier kind - for instance - if anyone who knows a single thing about chi is aware of the fact that they can't do anything except cover behind the barrier they created and can simply wait until the chi user runs out of the funky shizzle that makes them tick? I mean, they are going to run out, right? If not, then that is pretty lame. If yes, how is chi replenished? Is it like chakra in Naruto (I.e. Replenished by rest) or something else? Also, I should think that the Materialization/Manipulation people are seriously screwed. I mean, the moment they use their power against someone stronger they're dead meat because all that other person has to do is break the thingie and BAM, you're dead. Doesn't look like an appealing career choice to me. T_T
The way I see it, you should try to merge those different kinds into a few larger ones, or at least allow the possibility of following more than one discipline. Reinforcement, for instance, seems like a logical complement for regeneration (I mean, that's basically just 'reinforcing' your metabolism, right? The principle seems like that of reinforcement but applied to different places than the muscles), similarly, barrier would seem to fit under materialization (After all, you are basically just willing a barrier of energy into existence :O). Making the disciplines wider would allow more room for creativity with the specifics of a character's skills which, to me at least, would make the RP more appealing. The way it is, just imagine a master of the barrier discipline explaining his life's work as "I make barriers. Yeah. But because I've made barriers longer than you do my barrier is better than your barrier. In your face!". Not very inspiring, is it? xD
Other than that, it looks just fine and dandy. ^-^
@Bijou: Ehh...I must admit being vaguely confused. I mean yeah, the good and bad guys are going to have a big squabble over the Nobodies, but...care to be a bit more specific? Kingdom Hearts can only be formed through the release of countless real hearts, and if the heart of all worlds has been sealed (As you pointed out) then the possibility to accomplish that at all has been disabled. That was kind of the whole point with sealing all those keyholes. -.- Besides, what's with the three keyblade masters thing? I mean, if there can only be three then I'm afraid that all of those have been taken already because of Sora, Riku, and Mickey (And let's not forget Kairi swinging her little floral keyblade in the world that never was either, that makes four keyblade weilders out of the three possible ones, and that's not counting Roxas separately :O), unless you are somehow planning to A) have the mysteriously disappear off the face of the world, or B) Somehow have them pass along the keyblading to others, which doesn't seem very likely or logical. Finally, how on earth did the good guys get wind of these plans to begin with? The twilight realm was pretty much sealed off and I don't think that any of the original heroes would be in the mood to hike back over there just for the heck of it.
So yeah, a bit of explanation and clarification, please? ^-^
