[amyhayanora]

I've realized that waiting for the day that I'll have time again to do complex illustrations just for fun will never come at this point, but at least I can still do quick sketches, and apparently today is Kairi day, so... Just cleaned up this old sketch

[amyhayanora]

I have kind of give up the idea of being able to do some new serious art for this @khocweek at this point but at least I have some old stuff to share for Day 3, TWILIGHT TOWN

Twilight town, late again xD

Between my ocs, Lupe is the one who has spent more time there. Specifically, in the synthetic version built by Diz to conceal Roxas. Lupe, in both his canon version and the Hinataverse one, (means the one appearing as a guest in Hinata's very own story) is a digital person. A digital version of a wielder from Data Daybreak town, who has developed a hearth and traveled from Game Central Station to the modern days, in two different ways.

For canon Lupe, who is an entity that can travel through connections, a digital reality like Synthetic Twilight Town is where he can take 3-dimensional human form and almost remember how being human feels. He is normally Ansem's digital assistant, but he enjoys his 'human' time in town by playing struggle tournaments and hanging out with NPCs like the twilight gang. He really enjoys teasing Hayner like a little brother and subtly flirting with Fujin just to stir some chaos into Seifer's group😂. Who he isn't exactly a friend with, but have some sort of mutual respect, especially on the ring.

Everything is fake and most of the npcs aren't well characterized, like the candy shop girl he pretends to date, but this is the best he can get and he loves the feelings the illusion provides, since he doesn't remember anything better before knowing the twins in KH3. He is also the one programming most of the Town out of boredom after Diz abandoned the project.

When post kh3 he is given the chance to try a replica body and leave the data world, he still thinks, mostly out of affection, it's a waste to lose this perfect (HA!) town. He starts to work on an AI who will replace him in handling all Radiant Garden and Twilight Town's data... because he doesn't trust the MCP.

It starts just fine but later new AI gets obsessed by "becoming him" and evolves into a menace with its villain lair in Twilight Town in the process, but this is another story. ----------------------------------------- About Hinataverse Lupe, he tolerates the town. To him, (who hadn't spent decades living more as a program than a human, like the other Lupe) synthetic Twilight Town is a cage. A pretty one, with nice people, but still a cage, too artificial for his tastes. Still, he makes the best he can out of his situation. He starts to live there in the few months preceding the end of KH2, he is made of data but unlike his canon he has no access to the mainframe and can't move through devices, because he still feels too human to imagine something like that. Luckily Hinata and Co. have the access to their safe base in the synthetic town and can provide him real human companionship. Lupe is part of the team as coordinator during missions, guiding them from the lab. Rest of the time, he has his own apartment in the Tram Common area, and from time to time Diz even allows his requests, to keep lupe's mental health stable, adding custom items like a pub where he can hang out with friends or taking working shifts, or a library of movies and games to access. Lupe and Diz get along quite well despite their… Let's say 'complex' dynamic, while Chirithy is really uneasy around the man. In this universe, during Diz's absence, Twilight town is run by an AI programmed by Diz himself, that after some self improving updates has decided that Lupe is a peculiar being, worth of study, because the best way to maintain the town at peak condition is to update NPCs programs to more complex emotions, like he has. AI even creates a new experimental trio of npcs2.0 to specifically hang out with a blissfully unaware Lupe and gain data from his honest reactions.

So Lupe here hangs out less with the original npcs and more with this trio, that he has no idea is specifically tailored on his tastes and needs.

…We know AI is never a good choice and this will be again another story 😂 ----------------- bonus art with Tia and Isa and Tia and Axel

[amyhayanora]

Twins again, how strange, huh? And of course late from Day 1. TRAVERSE TOWN I have the opportunity to delve into their time in Traverse Town and how this place almost shattered their minds.. Please bare with my self taught english and some cleaned up old art dump, (except for this DDD piece, wich is just Nomura original art+the twins).

To be correct, the twins have never seen the real Traverse Town, but have spent more time than they would have ever wanted in the Realm of Sleep. After the end of Union X, the twins chose merge with their chitithy and become Dream Eaters. But because of a spell placed on them by Merlin when they were very young, and the help of another OC, they managed to regain human form, finding themselves in a strange town where it's always nighttime, confused, alone, with partial amnesia. They have no idea of how they arrived there or how to leave.

The twins have adjusted quickly to the new environment and bonded with the nice locals, loving the little community… then one day they woke up and not a single soul in town remembered them. They never had answers. Slowly but surely they rebuild their life there, again. And again. And again. Because Sleeping Worlds are fragments of the history of a bigger world, like Country of Musketeers. They exist by repeating themselves and the memory they contain endlessly, in a loop.

Imagine living your life knowing the exact moment everything you have built will be erased and for the thirtd time, tenth, twentieth. How many more times do they have to try to change events, living different lives, different jobs, different interactions, hoping to find the combination that is the good answer to this painful riddle? There is no good answer tho. So the temptation to try the bad ones gets stronger. And they did. Because maybe destroying something woul have break the cycle. Or maybe destroy someone… It's not like people will remember anything if it doesn't work and the clock resets anyway, right?

They did it, unintentionally. But it didn't work, as well, and that's the thing they don't want to try again, never. Paranoia will give them nightmares for years even after KH3.

Because they have been exposed to this kind of reality, their social skills are lower than they should despite their real age. It's tricky to learn properly when your actions have no real consequences anymore.

So they decided to never talk again about what happened and focused on building instead of destroying, to keep their sanity. That's how I headcanon 4th and 5th districts original from DDD to be their own creations. (original images below)

Starting small with color-changing other Spirits. Being basically Dream Eaters with human will and creativity, they soon discover to have a certain control over reality in the realm of sleep, so they added a layer to the town and personalized it. this is also part of the reason why during the reaper game in DDD the two realities of the dream weren't perfectly synchronized.

(This power they have will be later the base to make Dreamlight Valley kind of canon, if you know the game.)

What finally breaks their routine is the arrival of Sora and Riku in Traverse Town, their tickets to get out of there. The deal is to help them, teaching them how to move around, fight and train spirits, and in exchange the twins can follow them.

and since there's a Moogle here, bonus page and Tou and Riku getting along very well

KHOC WEEK 2024 Day 6 - Journals

This was really fun, I wanted to make everyone's journal to study their different personalities, but I'll continue on Aspis's trail because I don't have time… and Leonna as comparison. so, my last day of @khoc-week

Aspis is an artist. He is as good at drawing as much as he is terrible at interacting with people, and he is the leader of a scouting group of wielders, whose task is discreetly inspecting the Worlds, collecting information such as the state of the world, inhabitants, places, but also notes on very specific details such as maps, materials, location of treasures and Heartless. Aspis's group is the first to go on field, engaging in combat as little as possible, except to test the level of the enemies and establish which areas are safe enough for the other teams to access. Since Aspis is particularly good at his job, he has successfully managed to sneak like a ninja into rarely accessible areas, like the Cave of Wonders. his Journal is a collection of sketches with various types of information, from maps to portraits of enemies, but also more detailed environments and backgrounds that he paints for himself. all of which includes rude notes for her acquaintances, especially Lupe. xD

In comparison, on top, Leonna's Journal, who in addition to being a researcher is also a librarian and is rarely on the battlefield. Her Journal is incredibly boring, a thesis with evaluations of every world, with tables, percentages, enemies' order of appearance, levels, time, and the weekly values ​​of the unions, including Lux's collection. She finds all this extra work very rewarding and interesting because she has the soul of an old lady xD

[amyhayanora]

KHOC WEEK 2024 Day 3 - Connections

Late for @khoc-week xD This year I'm focusing on Aspis, luckily he has a horrible temper and therefore very few connections.

Since he was literally separated from his older sister as a child and thrown by the Master of Masters into a society he didn't know, he never learned how to relate to people properly, he was misunderstood several times and learned to respond aggressively. even trying to be nice. MoM is a constant thorn in his side for this and many other reasons, but there's nothing much to do.

Despite his great work in his field, people continue to avoid Aspis, but he has still managed to make some solid connections: he is a trio with Lupe (Unicornis) and leonna (Leopardus), who stick with him since they were little.

They have a pretty funny dynamic, with Lupe who is perpetually relaxed and enjoys making fun of Aspis, then Aspis who is constantly yelling, stressed and angry about everything and tries to beat up Lupe, and finally Leonna who alternates between being the mature little mom who keeps them in line and the crazy girl who has to be contained by them.

Next is an excerpt from a story written by my dear friend @alchemist-of-thebes , I'm so grateful that he wanted to include my ocs as side characters. the story also features his adorable OC Velcia. She is a lovely goofy girl, who despite being incredibly emotional, manages to look past Aspis's bullying and feel genuine affection for him, to the point of calling him her brother. Aspis has basically had to surrender to this fact, also because deep down Velcia's affection does his Grinch-shriveled heart so much good. she doesn't realize it, but he would move mountains for his little sister.

Lupe leaned back, closing his eyes with a contented sigh. “Ah yes, I forgot how nice it was to be thanked. Aspis, you should try it some time!” “Oh, shuttup,” Aspis bit. He sighed in exasperation. “You’ve been a real pain in my ass all day, you know that? If anybody, I should be thanking your dogs.” Velcia couldn’t help but giggle at this, but seeing Aspis’ annoyed expression she found herself feeling conflicted about it. She stood up and walked over beside him, only to see him starting to scowl as he awaited whatever trouble was coming next. “Thank you, Aspis, for working so hard to find me. I didn’t think I wanted to be found, but I am very glad that you did. I just want you to know that… that I really appreciate you.” She paused for a moment, then wrapped her arms around him in a big hug. Aspis froze for a second and glanced at Lupe, who was gawking at him with wide, teasing eyes and a dopey smile, his tongue sticking out just enough to be incredibly agitating. It was an expression he knew all too well, as Lupe had spent several years practicing to make it as irritating as possible. His face turned a vivid red and he raised a middle finger towards, before coming to his senses and employing his second hand in the same fashion as well.

Lupe watched this barely-contained bottle of rage with extreme amusement, and decided to double down. “Aw, I don’t think I’ve ever seen him so happy. He must really need that hug, Velcia!” “Oh! I am so sorry I worried you so much,” Velcia exclaimed, squeezing Aspis tighter. Aspis’ anger began to petrify him at this moment, his rage such that his muscles seemed to turn to stone; there was only a deepening, furrowing scowl that spoke to an unholy revenge that would come later. Lupe chuckled at this, but this died out as he realized that despite all of this Aspis was in fact keeping his temper in check and his rage contained. Usually his friend would bite back with more ferocity than this. His teasing grin slowly faded as he looked down at Velcia. Now that Lupe was backing off a bit, Aspis gave an exasperated sigh and began to pry Velcia off. She stepped back none the wiser, and gave them both a beaming grin. Lupe adjusted his stance, putting his weight on his left leg with his arms crossed. He looked them over for a moment, trying to make sense of this odd pair. “So uh, if you don’t mind me asking, how exactly do you two know each other?” “Oh! Aspis is my brother!” Velcia said happily. “…You don’t say?” Lupe said, casting an inquisitive glance towards Aspis. “I didn’t know you had a sister, Aspis.” “Even your dogs should be smart enough to guess why that is,” Aspis said, shooting Lupe another warning glare. He tapped his foot, looking at Velcia’s great big smile. “More than anything else I’m her art teacher. She just happens to have a very active imagination.”

I love their dynamics xD The relationship between Aspis and Leonna is more complicated, as he grew up, Aspis has continually tried to hide his feelings for her, since apparently, Leonna has no intention of reciprocating them. Leonna has her fair share of problems, so getting attached to someone is not an option. Not yet, at least. In fact, the deepest part of her, the chaotic personality that comes out when she represses herself too much, gets along quite well with Asp.

The most important and troubled relationship in Aspis' life is his sister Nivea, now Invi, who to save their lives agreed to become MoM's apprentice, being manipulated and increasingly distanced from him. Aspis was left alone in a house designed for two, while Invi started a new life full of friends, leaving him behind, for the greatest good. At least, this is how Aspis sees it, a cult.

he loves his sister and for this reason he worries about her and ends up getting irritated and arguing every time they try to talk, which is difficult, since their relationship must remain hidden.

Here an hilarious scene about Velcia trying to figure out their secret relationship, again by Alchemist

“You tell me. How’d you find out about me and Invi?” Aspis asked. Velcia smiled awkwardly, she wasn’t really sure what he meant. “W-well, I didn’t think it was a secret…” Aspis’ brow furrowed, and he let out an exasperated scowl. “Guh… guess we were more obvious than I thought….” “Well, you told me that you work with the Foretellers already, and I always see you talking to Master Invi, so… of course, she’s like your boss, right?” “Boss?” Aspis repeated, his eyes opening in surprise for a moment. His demeanor quickly jumped back to his usual stern face, and he shook his head dismissively. “Yeah, my boss. Uh, yeah, real clever to figure out that secret.” Velcia stared at him blankly for a moment, but the longer she did the darker his scowl became, as if he were silently warning her to break her gaze. She did so, of course, but her mind still kept thinking. “Um… is that really it…?” “Why wouldn’t it be?” Aspis said, shaking his head. “Come on, I’ll show you the paintings.” “But I don’t think it was clever of me at all to figure that out,” Velcia said slowly. “And… I’m not sure why you would care about anybody knowing that.” “Drop it,” Aspis warned her. “Okay, I will,” Velcia said, taking a step to follow him again. She stopped short suddenly. “Only, the more I think about it, the less it makes sense to me. Aspis, what did you think I knew?” “Shut up,” Aspis groaned. “Okay, I will,” Velcia said. The two made their way to the staircase, and Aspis motioned her ahead of him. She ducked past him and took a few steps up, then turned around on the spot to face Aspis. They were right about at eye level now, and even before she opened her mouth Aspis knew it was trouble. “Are you and Invi in love?!” Velcia blurted out. Aspis practically exploded. “WHAT THE HELL?” he exclaimed, his arms shooting up into the air as he turned around and stamped back down the steps.

finally, a character who has neither a name nor a design, yet😂 for the moment it's just a role: he is the second in command of the Anguis team of which Aspis is the leader. he is the Aspis-Educated People translator and maintains public relations within the group, so much so that some young members do not even know that Aspis is the real leader.

[amyhayanora]

KHOC WEEK 2024 Day 2 - Past

the things for my OCs are now the only ones I do, so, off with the annual @khoc-week appointment.😂

The protagonist of this post should have been Aspis, my little Anguis kid, but since Aspis is deeply connected to another character, it's probably better that I start with some headcanons I have about the Foretellers. Between those and the designs, at this point they feel a bit like OCs too. even tried to do a Nomura-esque version for the occasion.

The assumption is that the Foretellers were one of the many attempts on the chessboard of the Master of Masters to face the Darkness. He gathered under his protection a group of lonely and desperate kids, with a tormented past, acting in the grey area more than out of affection. He bet on them. He sought out children who possessed specific flaws of distinct deadly sins, trained them, and made them his apprentices on a journey designed to make them overcome their "sin" and use it as a virtue that will be essential to their future "roles." For example…

Gula, who lived on the streets as a feral child, has known hunger, and food is also how MoM attracted him. Gula suffered from bulimia and nervous hunger for years, before managing to direct his anxiety towards logic and study, becoming an analytical boy "hungry" for knowledge.

Ava, sold away by her once rich family fell in disgrace, wanted EVERYTHING back. everything she had lost, or that she wanted but could no longer afford. Mom was the one who has bought her, she's too young to understand the extent of the family tragedy. that's why she later was the perfect one for the task of choosing any wielder she desires or attracts her eye, without limits, collecting the Dandelion.

Aced has always used his muscles to win easily, alone, without effort and without ever really try to improving himself, until carelessness cost him his tribe and an eye… he is now a loyal follower and uses his strength to defend the group, the arm of the law under Ira.

Ira, balances strength in combat and intelligence, which are also the qualities of his union. stubborn and rebellious, as an angry teenager he ran away from home, losing his path. He was the first one found by Mom, and he owes him his life. He learned to control his anger because of him, obtaining determination, willpower and the courage that made him choose as Leader.

Luxu carried the burden of being an unwanted child, the result of an affair, from an early age he felt cursed by that because of a big birthmark on one eye that vaguely resembles an X. shy, insecure and reserved, people pleaser, until life with his apprentice companions brought out his mischievous and creative personality. His being a people pleaser made him incredibly attentive to the behavior of the people around him and the ideal candidate to infiltrate among people and live their lives, one after the other.

Finally, Invi.

like all the other foretellers, her name is more of a title. Her real name is Nivea, and she was isolated from her village because white hair was considered a bad omen. The resentment of having to survive alone, with a little brother to support, he too with lighter hair than was welcome, soon turned into Envy, gnawing at her insides every time Nivea stopped to observe the normality of other families, lurking and hating everyone but her brother Aspis.

MoM saved both, proposing a deal to Nivea: he would take care of them, they would have a roof over their heads, education, a future, as long as she studied under him.

With no other real choice, the children accept out of desperation.

Nivea and Aspis initially lived together, but as they grow older she is forced to uphold her end of the bargain, spending more and more time at the clocktower. Aspis and Nivea's relationship is ruined irreparably, as Invi begins to enjoy her studies and the company of her peers, spending less and less time with her brother "for a higher purpose".

On the other hand, Aspis, who has always remained silent about a subtle hostility from the inhabitants of Daybreak Town due to his bad temper and sharp tongue, is left almost alone. His only wish was not to be a burden to his sister, who therefore always believed everything was fine and let him go without regrets. Aspis is full of resentment towards Mom, blaming him for brainwashing his sister, now obsessed by Light and darkness, when she clearly only wanted a better life for them.

Aspis and Invi do not hate each other, but the lack of communication makes it difficult to make peace, they will miss their chance before the War.

Aspis eventually made some friends along the way, that made his loneliness bearable. he is in a sort of trio with Lupe and Leonna, and a little girl who for some reason adores him like a big brother, Velcia (she's @alchemist-of-thebes 's oc). he'll never admit it, but he would die for her.😂

concluding this post with some old foretellers art dump xD

KHOC Week 2023 Day 3: Friends or Lovers

already a day late on the third @khoc-week prompt, but I'm surprised I'm still catching up at all.

I have something for almost all the kids, be prepared for a long post full of bad english and low quality art!

THE TWINS

fun anecdote on Saix:

I had a very personal problem with Saix… Due to circumstances completely unrelated to the character I felt a very repulsive feeling about him at the mere mention of his name. Which was a problem, because Tia is supposed to get along very well with all the seasalt ice cream gang after kh3 and she's very good at making friends. It was really hard to think about them interacting so I asked for help to my dear friend @hinataoc, who is so good at writing KH characters and has a deep knowledge of Tia as well. She started to write about them submitting me various short scenes where tia and Isa deepen their bond in a gradual way. She healed me.

They are pretty fun duo, in a way.

So Tia and Isa being friends is my best achievement for this year😂

“I can’t remember the last time I had cotton candy,” Talia mentioned once she found her pouch. There was a pause after she spoke and Talia was sure Isa wasn’t going to give her a response, until he told her, “I don’t believe I’ve ever had it.” Talia’s face lit up and she stepped forward to make her order. Isa didn’t pay much attention to it as he watched a few children playing tag behind them. He looked back when Talia cleared her throat and was greeted with a cloud of blue cotton candy. Talia giggled at his surprise. “So you can make different expressions,” she teased, peeking around the side of the treat and taking a bite out of her own pink cloud. He exhaled softly through his nose — an action Talia realized was his way of laughing — before grabbing the base of the cotton candy. “Thank you,” he told her.

From different scenes:

"Normally, it’s polite to ask before taking a picture of someone,” Isa told her, though he seemed hardly exasperated. Talia snickered and pointed her phone at him. “And normally it’s polite to smile when told!”

“And by the way, normally it’s polite to say thank you when food’s given to you.” He hummed. “It’s also normally polite to respect someone’s decision not to eat.” “Hmm,” Talia put her finger to her chin, playing it up, “I don’t know about that. I’m pretty sure you’re the one being rude. Not me.” “Are you so sure?” he asked, his voice laced with amusement as he took a sip of his coffee.

“You know,” Talia broke the silence stretching between them. “Usually it’s polite to ask if someone wants tea before you get it for them.” “Is this to be our personal joke?” Isa asked. “Telling each other when we’re being considered rude?” Talia giggled. “It just might be.”

Tia also has a soft spot for Aeleus, he considers him a sort of giant teddy bear, and has even spent some nights talking with him and Dilan during her insomnia hell.

About romance, Tia dated a lot of boys, some just for fun. she flirted with Lupe as well, but at present things they don't remember of each other, their union X memories are all uncertain.

Share a daily life with Axel and kairi during their training in KH3 is what really draws them closer. KH3 Axel is dealing with intense emotions with a newly formed hearth and Tia finds helping others the perfect way to avoid facing her owns problems so she made him her focus. When later Axel helps her snapping out of her own darkness in Arendelle, she developed true feelings for him but wasn't able to confess for a while, not wanting to take advantage of Lea's emotional mess. She even tried dating other guys with no success. Axel is a bit dense, and their feelings are clear to everyone except them which is kinda fun.

Touma is an introvert, he is friendly but shares a true bond with few. He got really close to Kairi during their training in KH3, they are each other's confidant. He gets along especially well with girls, even more the quiet ones, and sometimes spends quality time with Naminè.

touma cared for their little group of friends in Union X and dated the the afro boy in pink suit, that I like to call Celat, for a while. He was the only person he dated in his life before Riku.

Their relationship is complicated and riku didn't reciprocate him for so long that Touma was almost ready to turn page and date Ienzo at the end of KH3, the other special friend he have (and he actually dates him during appearances in friends'AU when Riku is already paired up with someone Else).

LUPE

Lupe is a very social person, good at working as mediator because the team is everything for him. He respect members and hierarchy and puts the heath of the group above everything so there's very few people who doesn't like him. He's one of the few who can handle Aspis' bad attitude, after all.

Growing up he was aware of a having a certain charm and lot of his friends are girls.

Including Skuld, on who he had a huge teenager crush. He clumsily tried to flirt with her several times, but in the end she rejected him and they ended up to be very good friends.

A version of Lupe lives in Hinata's canonverse, based on the amazing story written by @hinataoc about her oc Hinata. Lupe recently joined Hinata's team as stable member and he's forming a bond with her (red hair), Sam, Velcia (ginger hair, @alchemist-of-thebes 'oc), Riku, B.E.N. and Diz.

mention of the twins. they met Lupe during Union X, but they don't remember each other from then. It will require them time to understand that Lupe is a real person and not just an annoying program on their devices. On the other side, Lupe, even suffering for that, still really cares about them and have all the sort of silly interactions that keep his days bright. Diz, Ienzo, and the other apprentices that interact with him through Radiant Garden's terminal aren't exactly fun…

ASPIS

...Aspis DOES have friends, but doesn't like to admit it, living his best (nope) life as a lone wolf.😂

I received a wonderful birthday gift from @alchemist-of-thebes, a short fic about Aspis and Velcia, Alchemist'oc. She is just a shy, sweet little girl who loves art, yet able to win his trust and frame him into teaching her art techniques in his spare time. They both love art so much.

“And you do that all by yourself?” He paused for a second, his mouth contorting into a bit of an aggravated frown. “No. There’s too much of it for me to do just by myself, I have a team of people to help me.” “You have friends?!” Velcia blurted out. Aspis’ eyes slid towards her uncharitably. “Co-workers.”

“No, I’m serious. We’re so lucky to have you looking out for us like that. Your fri-” a quick, scowling glance startled her into a new choice of word, “Co-workers are really lucky to have you to look out for them, too.” “Oh, shut up will you,” he grumbled. He could feel his icy lake beginning to crack and wasn't at all sure he was prepared for it. Ready or not, though, Velcia's tender heart compelled her to do something not even someone as experienced and traveled as Aspis could be prepared for, and he was nothing short of flabbergasted when she sprung towards him, wrapping her arms tight around him in an encouraging hug. “I really mean it. Thank you.”

he's just really tsundere with a sharp tongue and a bad attitude, but a soft heart. That's why somehow along the way Velcia ended up like a second sister for him

Aspis also has an unrequited love for Leonna. He even gets along very well with his dark part, he just loves her as a whole, both sides.

He endlessly teases Leonna, trying to ler her go her composure whenever he feels she is bottling too much, triggering Dark Leonna's appearance for some relief.

Leonna on the other side is too caught up in her own problems and and endlessly annoyed by him to even see him as a potential partner😂 but maybe in future…

annnd... I've reached the end of this colossal post. I guess once a year I'm allowed to go wild and ramble about my kids and it's fine.

[amyhayanora]

Only Lupe for today, I don't have anything new fir the other kids.

When Ava asked Lupe to become a Dandelion he wasn't sure, initially. The idea of leaving Daybreak Town and his family didn't seem right. After his refuse a data copy of him, as well as any other citizen except the Dandelions, was made.

Lupe isn't Player. He tried to protect his family, his town, fought the War and eventually met his end. I'm not sure if I want to do something more of this, yet. That's it, for the real Lupe. He's actually a happy and carefree Meow-Wow.

Data Lupe, on the other hand, has a long journey ahead. He developed a digital heart all by himslef, awakening some deep feelings written in his code.

He eventually made his way to Grand Central Station, where his Code survived after Data Daybreak Town's shutdown. From there, he spent time moving between the games of the arcade, only to end up in Space Paranoids and with access to the ENCOM's mainframe cyberspace. He spent a lot of time in there, making friends, developing his digital heart and patrolling the world as he used to do in Daybreak town. Rebuilding a life for himself the best he could, but still feeling trapped.

Until a very curious case of hacking happened.

It was Ansem, during his researches about the Datascape. He started with a prototype, a digital maintenance system for Hollow Bastion, and decided to base it on ENCOM's cyberspace, creating his personal version of Space Paranoids.

That was Lupe's chance to leave and explore the unknown, downloading himself into Ansem's project.

Since then, he's been Ansem/Diz's digital assistant, able to move between electronic devices through the rest of the series, that's how he has his fair share of different worlds, even if sometimes is just a glimpse from monitors, cameras and microphones. He was there when Ansem taught Mickey about gummiships and computers, so later Lupe is able to connect with Disney Castle during Re:Coded events. He saw a bit of the worlds from there and met Digital Sora. He is able to move and explore the digital Twilight Town made for Roxas, and during KH3 he is also a digital assistant on the twins' Gummiphone, and their gummiship navigator. Sometimes he appears on screens using different forms, included a khux avatar. The change is purely on his mood, out of boredom😂

That's how he's more or less able to explore the worlds, looking for his chance to travel by himself in a new physical form...
