Lex to SE.

This is my first sig since APRIL... and I no longer have my brushes meaning there will be no more nice flowers, random shapes,etc.

Remember how I said I have now become a Lexaeus fangirl? yeah, my devotion. There goes my Negaduck sig and simple HM avvy, oh well.

Took probably a little over an Hour, GIMP...


For those of you who don't know who Lexaeus is... well..

Er, my bit on him for KHI

"Let it go, Vexen"
And Vexen, the chatterbox, elitist scientist, shuts up. And with that, Lexaeus establishes himself as being one of the most forceful personalities in the game, despite the fact he only appears in three to four scenes in the Reverse/Rebirth mode of Chain of Memories.

He doesn't mince his words, and spends more of his time thinking. But what he says may sound like common sense, but he is just moving the ideas along.

When his time comes to a close, and he becomes more verbose, and with that we receive a bit more of an idea on WHO he was. He has a quest for balance, and points out that unless Riku accepts his darkness, he might as well not exist. Not because of power, but because he is denying part of himself.

At the end of the fight, he doesn't go down immediately. It requires Ansem possessing Riku fully and boosting Riku's abilities to kill him, and even THEN it is slow going. Lexaeus gets out two sentences before he goes, Quite a feat among the Organization, Axel is the only other one who comes to mind that doesn't go out with a death scream.

Here's probably where I should note that I never really got to know Lexaeus until recently. Despite the fact CoM was a family Christmas gift, (GBA) my brother was the one who usually played it. In fact, the bits I remember have nothing to do with Lexaeus. The first (and one of my biggest KH memories) is Axel swearing, the other is Repliku killing Zexion. In fact, even when I'm finally playing it by myself, I have yet to get to Reverse/Rebirth. So, I did what any sensible person would do and looked it Lexaeus scenes on Youtube. And that is where I realized just how understated a character he is. Between his ability to shut down the annoying Vexen, planning to restore the organization, knocking out Riku and messing up Riku's internal organs in the process, and needing the ultimate villain of Kingdom Hearts to finish him off marks him as someone who needs more fans.

With 358/2 coming around, I don't think we will find out more. He's not the type to flap at the mouth, unless dispensing advice, and I have a feeling this will continue. But that's a pity, he seems to hold quite a few answers to the questions plaguing players.

I only got into Lexaeus recently. But reviewing the game made me realize how much he is unappreciated. He is a good mix of prodigious strength and endurance (face it, after Riku fights Lexaeus, he is only winded. And he STILL has enough power to whack him into the ceiling and knock Riku out) but it is tempered with a wiseman's outlook on life.

But, Lexaeus doesn't get his due. And he should. His first line enforced what a powerful person he was.
----
his ORg name (besides Lexaeus) is The Silent Hero. His original Name is Aeleus.

If you want to use, PLEASE let me know and give me credit. Thanks!
