Character Name: Saïx Character Series: Kingdom Hearts Character Age: 25 Background:Kingdom Hearts wiki Personality: Though Nobodies claim to feel no emotion, few of them act as though they do. Perhaps it's the memories of their former lives, or perhaps they do feel some kind of emotion, if twisted and distant. Saix, though? Saix is one of most outwardly emotionless of the Nobodies. He carries himself with a cool, calm confidence, and rarely loses his composure. While he claims to remember what having a heart feels like, he truly believes that Nobodies can't feel anything.
This coldness makes him very efficient, and very willing to do whatever it takes to complete his plans. He calmly sends Axel to dispose of the Organization members in Castle Oblivion, and he treats both Xion and, to a lesser extent, Roxas, as nothing more than tools. Saix claims to know how to injure a heart, which is proven when he rather skillfully manipulates Sora's anger in order to make him continue killing Heartless. He does remember the emotions that come with a heart - he just uses that memory as a tool to manipulate others, rather than imitating those emotions like many of his associates to.
Saix is an intelligent person, serving as Xemnas' second-in-command and, for awhile, also plotting with Axel to overthrow him. He passes on orders to the rest of the Organization, and while it's not clear how much of that is passed down from Xemnas, it certainly demonstrates a capacity for organization (little o, there) and, to a certain extent, leadership. The other members of the Organization follow his directions, after all, as does Axel until their falling-out. He's also clever enough to manipulate Sora easily, and quick enough to seize the opportunity to do so when presented with it.
Although Saix is cool and distant, there are some faint hints of humanity within him, hidden and twisted as they may be. He has a slight sense of humor - slight and rather cruel, but there. For awhile, he also seems to still value the friendship he has with Axel, even if it's just a remnant left over from the days they had hearts. Saix doesn't seem to understand how Axel can form a new friendship with Roxas and Xion, even though they treat him much more like a real friend should - it seems he thinks that only friendships made when people have hearts can be true friendships.
Above all, the most obvious sign that Saix still has some trace of humanity is, paradoxically, his longing for a heart. That desire is his driving goal throughout the series. He wants nothing more than to use Kingdom Hearts to get a heart for himself, and he's willing to do whatever it takes to get that - from plotting to overthrow the Organization with Axel, to throwing his lot in with Xemnas after their plan failed, to using Kairi to manipulate Sora. It is the one thing he wants more than anything, and as such, he'll do anything to get it.
There is another, less controlled side to Saix as well. When he uses the power of the moon to enter a berserk state, he does just that - goes berserk. He is no longer calm and composed, but rather violent, furious, and loud - shouting and roaring as he attacks. Whether that's a buried part of him or a state outwardly imposed on him isn't clear, but it's certainly a drastic change from his usual attitude.
Abilities: Saix is a skilled fighter who relies on brute strength rather than finesse. He has a large claymore that he fights with.
Like all Organization members, Saix has an additional power over a certain element: Moon. In his case, rather than control over the actual element, Saix is capable of drawing in power from the moon and using it to fuel a berserk state. While in this state, his sword changes shape, as does he, growing more bestial - not to the point of being a werewolf, but certainly much more outwardly savage than his usual appearance. His strength and speed increase dramatically, and swinging his claymore produces shockwaves of power that can damage enemies.
