Time to explain my absence! Simply put: I hate February. Let me rephrase that: I HATE February with all my heart, I absolutely hate it! And for good reasons! First, the weather is shit! IT snows and rains and everything turns to muck and sludge, it's freezing cold and windy and overall just blah! Funny thing, first week of March, everything turns sunny and nice out!

Also, I don't know how it works for other people but in February my school puts the screws to you! You have midterms and every single teacher seems to have some major project or test due near the same freaking time! It is ridiculous!

That said, March is already turning out to a better month. We performed the play and it was so much fun! I am kind of conflicted about this, I have time to myself now but I miss the comeradery that we developed amongst each other! It's true, We Are All In This Together! (10 points for the cheesy line!). Also Spring break starts at the end of the week and we get TWO WEEKS off in Delta. TWO WEEKS. I am also going to pick up DMC 4 and Lost Oddesy soon so that should be fun.

Now that I have gotten my petty gripes about the months out of the way, time for the reason of this journal: HOD Characters. The next installments of my Journal will be focused on various characters in HOD and this edition is focused on the villains.

I like villains, I like them alot! I like to write for villains, I like to act villains out, I like to see them do there thing. I like Villains! That is one of the reasons why I have included multiple groups of villains in HOD and they are as followed:

The Dark Syndicate:
I know, lame name but here me out. The Syndicate are a group of humans, Nobodies, Heartless and God knows what else that have sold their mortal souls for supernatural powers. Their goal is to take Kingdom Hearts for themselves and become God like beings. They have several members but no true leader. They are instead ruled by the top seven members who act as a democracy. Each member has various powers ranging from super strength to elemental manipulation to crafting objects. Each member wear masks and Cipher was once a member of them. The Dark Synidcate has been seen in Chapters 2 and 3

The Gewidmet:
The title of their organization is German for 'Dedicated' and reflects their faith towards their order. They dress in all white and carry crosses which are an important part of their iconography. The goal of the Gewidmet is to vanquish all darkness in the universe. How is this bad? Well, first they see the Keyblade as evil since its prophecy involves saving OR destroying the worlds. Second, if they eliminate the darkness, light is left by itself and the universe becomes totally unbalanced, destroying itself. Think of it like this: Two guys are in isolation and talk so they can pass the time. Then the 'Dark' guy leaves and 'Light' guy blows his brains out from boredom. They are an allegory to my views on overzealous religious people and views. The Gewidmet are a dieing group and have a minimilistic role compared to the other villains. The first member, their leader (Alexander Judas), appeared in Chapter 4.

The Fallen:
Little is known of the Fallen except that they have a relations to the darkness and the Heartless. They are organized in two lose tiers. The Soldados (Spanish: Soldiers) are foot soldiers that come in various form but have uniform shape depending upon their breed. The Espada (Spanish: Sword) are elite Fallen and are the strongest Fifteen of them all. Their leader and goal are unknown. The first two Fallen to appear, both Espada, were Arturo and Darcoh in Chapter 5

So that is a basic overview of the villains without much spoilers, the next journal focused on the villains will be more detailed on individual, major villains.
