In the Kingdom Hearts Universe

Origin/Somebody Name: JoshuaTitle: The Will of the ForgottenBack story:After being found in a broken and fading state by Xemnas when he became a Nobody, he was eventually brought back to the Organization. Joshua was given a new name before being placed into stasis to recover. He was now known as Joxhaus. However, even though he was reborn as a powerful Nobody, being in a broken and fading form, he would be deemed useless to the Organization... but Xemnas figured he would be useful to their ranks if he was truly incapable of fading from existence. He entrusted Vexen and Zexion to study Joxhaus' powers, his vitals and anything else the could find out about him to see why he was incapable of disappearing. Vexen could have cared less because he was still trying to perfect his replica research, while Zexion attempted to take on the majority of this task. Joxhaus was a secret to everyone in the Organization except from Vexen, Zexion, Xemnas and his right hand man Saix.Joxhaus remained in stasis for about 7-8 months before his body was perfectly "normal" again. As he was recovering, he did hear voices echoing through his head. Someone was trying to talk to him as he slept. He wasn't fully sure who it was though all he knew was it was a female speaking to him. Once he was fully recovered he was given a coat from Zexion to be recognized as an unofficial member of their ranks. According to his data from the past several months, he would be just as strong as any of the members in their ranks and would probably be capable of taking on missions with them soon, if Xemnas allowed for it.But like all things, it's never that easy. Vexen and Zexion were required to give him a physical test in order to see if he was ready to be out on the field. Joxhaus seemed healthy on all fronts and even as a small side test, he managed for forge his weapon from his new-found power. A whip sword was not a weapon he was expecting though. However, its hilt reminded him of a family heirloom that he had in his first life. It was an officers sword that carried a formal rapier styled hilt; it belonged originally to his ancestors.After all of his tests were done, he found that a lot has changed and he learned quite a bit about his new powers. He could see small glimpses of past events through touch and could even sense if someone was lying. The only thing he didn't understand was why he had two dark streaking lines down his face. Zexion informed him that they are "dark conduits". They act similar to blood vessels or veins for the body. For Joxhaus' case, it was a very rare occurrence that they would be exposed enough to be visible (Which happened during the recovery process).When it was time for Joxhaus to be a part of the Organization, he was not given an official number. He was first given over to Saix, who had informed him of his position as second in command for the Organization. Joxhaus would be trained under Saix as his shadow until he would be ready to tackle missions on his own.
Joxhaus did everything that Saix told him to do and he was rather respectful to him regardless of how Saix treated him. His militant and respectful attitude towards Saix did pay off in the long run. After about a week or so, Joxhaus was an official affiliate of the Organization.

In this story, Joxhaus plays a significantly different role than just being a Nobody.Here, Joshua and Joxhaus are initially the same person. However, he is a manifestation of Josh's negative traits, thoughts and his left brain perspective. Where as Josh himself, acts like "himself" carrying a more outgoing yet creative personality. I.E. the right brain/emotional perspective.This story is primarily focusing on a relationship between Josh and Monika, Joxhaus acts as the rational left brain... focusing mainly on getting his tasks done. Not trying to focus on romance because he understands the pain that they both had to endure from Doki Doki Literature Club. He doesn't wish for a repeat scenario to happen so he attempts to negatively impact his other half, to try and prevent him from getting too carried away in his primordial fantasies with someone who isn't technically real.He's still the same person, a bit more "edgy" as some might call it. Straight forward and blunt... but he can still be a soft-hearted guy in the right circumstances.However, due to his pessimistic nature and his mistrust of Monika, the tension between both Monika and his other half Josh, makes things rather complicated in the story.

In my first ever cross-over story featuring characters from both of my favorites series. Legend of Zelda and Kingdom Hearts, I included Joxhaus in this story because I have had actual fantasies of what it would be like if these two universes crossed. Joxhaus in particular being able to cross into different realities and timelines at will makes this much more reasonable.Breath of the Wild was a very welcomed addition to the Legend of Zelda series. And I still look forward to evolving my cross-over story more in the future.In this story, Joxhaus no longer works for Organization XIII, rather he now works for a secret society of sentient beings who protect the different realities and timelines from being corrupted or altered by external forces. In this case, being the Organization he was once affiliated with.Before the story begins, he was well aware that the Organization wanted to infiltrate this new world (BotW Hyrule) for an unknown purpose during the time of the Calamity Ganon issue/war. Joxhaus being a former member who knows all about the Nobodies, was chosen to go and investigate this issue and to protect the heroes of that reality and timeline. Mainly, Zelda and Link.In his first visit, he saves Zelda and her forces in the midst of battle, prior to Link succumbing to his injuries from the fighting. Zelda, thanks him for what he did for them and asks if he could join them temporarily at the very least. Joxhaus accepts knowing he would have to warn her about the potential dangers that will lie ahead for both her and her chosen knight... but after witnessing Zelda having an emotional breakdown from her current events from the war, (losing many lives in the fighting, including her friends, the Champions as well as Link) Joxhaus felt a need to stay around to help her... even if it was against the rules for the society he was working for.Even though Joxhaus is a Nobody and has no true feelings or emotions in his current state, Zelda seems to take quite the interest in him... And they would soon form a bond that he wasn't even expecting.He would eventually cross paths with Link to help him on his journey, but it was not easy since Link has already started crossing paths with the Organization. He finds tension with him because of the fact that Joxhaus was an ex member. Trust may not be easily found...
