“	You had your perfect, little script, but you kinda forgot to write the sequel. Now, let's find out what happens!	„
	~ Lea taunting Xehanort after intercepting his attempt to possess Sora

Summary

Originally known as Lea before losing his heart the day Radiant Garden fell into darkness, Axel is Organization XIII's eighth member who was assigned as Roxas' caretaker. But Axel's time with Roxas and Sora, whom he encountered while at Castle Oblivion, left an impression on him and became friends with Roxas at the cost of having a falling out with Saïx, the Nobody of his former self's friend Isa. When Roxas left the Organization, Axel followed suit after a failed attempt to save his friend from Diz's plan to integrate him into Sora. Eventually, after unknowingly giving the Organization a bargaining chip in Kairi, Axel sacrifices himself to enable Sora to save her. Axel's demise leads to his restoration into Lea who eventually gains his own Keyblade.

Powers and Stats

Tier: 2-B | Low 1-C

Key: Up to KH3D | KHIII

Name: Axel (As a Nobody), "Number Vlll: The Flurry of Dancing Flames", Lea (While having a heart)

Origin: Kingdom Hearts

Gender: Male

Age: About 26 (Should be around the age of Ventus (Kingdom Hearts))

Classification: Nobody of Lea (after Birth by Sleep, when he was still whole, and before KH:3D, when he became whole once again), Former Number VIII of Organization XIII, Keyblade Wielder-in-Training

Powers and Abilities:

Attack Potency: Multiverse level (Traded blows with Marluxia, although Marluxia was unlikely to be going all-out; was sent to Castle Oblivion by Xemnas with the intent of killing the rogue Organization XIII members; fought KHCoM Sora a few times, went up against Roxas after he regained his powers; was able to fight and defeat Xion who had much of Roxas's power at the time, and so should be above KHI Sora) | Low Complex Multiverse level (Should be comparable to Kairi)

Speed: Infinite (Outpaced and intercepted an attack from Master Xehanort, comparable to others that can travel across the worlds with a Keyblade Glider, which has been shown to also relate to direct physical movements and is comparable to the Gummi Ship based on Aqua and Ventus getting to the Keyblade Graveyard within a day just like it while also including the threat of Gummi Heartless, comparable to Xemnas, who reacted to Roxas going from Radiant Garden to the Keyblade Graveyard in seconds, not far behind Sora, who reacted to a Keyblade beam from Xehanort of a similar nature as this one)

Lifting Strength: Class M

Striking Strength: Multiverse level (Traded blows with Marluxia, Sora, Roxas, and Xion) | Multiverse level

Durability: Multiverse level (Took hits from Sora and Roxas, able to block an attack from Marluxia, survived all of his fights until using the last of his energy to help Sora save Kairi) | Multiverse level

Stamina: Superhuman (Managed to survive multiple fights with fellow members of the Organization and managed to incapacitate Xion, who had obtained most of Roxas's power, before passing out from continual fatigue after back-to-back missions)

Range: Extended Melee Range normally. Tens of Meters with thrown weapons and flame attacks. Low Multiversal with the Corridors of Darkness

Standard Equipment: The Eternal Flames (his dual chakrams) and his Keyblade

Intelligence: Genius (As he was able to scheme his way through Castle Oblivion by manipulating Sora and assassinating his fellow Organization members who are all rather intelligent in their own right. He was also able to incapacitate Xion on two occasions despite the fact that she contained most of Roxas's power at the time and fights evenly with Saix, one of the more powerful members of the Organization and dares to threaten Marluxia himself who is rather powerful in his own right. Axel is pragmatic when it comes to achieving his goals, threatening to kill Namine if it meant eliminating Marluxia. As commander of the Assassin Nobodies, Axel is also particularly skilled at remaining hidden, hiding his thoughts, and generally keeping his foes guessing. After becoming whole again as Lea, he has also spent a year's worth of time training on how to summon and use his Keyblade, but lacked proficiency and even had trouble getting it to appear. By the third game, and an unknown period of training, he appears to be very proficient with the use of a Keyblade, even being able to swap between it and the Eternal Flames in combat)

Weaknesses: He can only use his Final Limit when he's hard-pressed, and stunning him with Light Magic will temporarily extinguish the flames that cover the floor of the ring he creates

Notable Attacks/Techniques:

• Explosion: Axel's Limit Break, he engulfs his Chakrams in flames before throwing them at the enemy, generating a small explosion to deal heavy damage on impact.
• Great Explosion: As his Final Limit, Axel is able to combine his chakrams to form a larger Chakram many times larger than his normal ones, allowing him to ignite it before sending it careening at an enemy to annihilate them with a massive burst of fire.
• Ring of Flame: Axel is able to generate a ring of flame that acts as a physical wall for his foes, preventing their escape. The wall is completely opaque and virtually indestructible, only allowing Axel to pass through when he wills it. In doing so, Axel can make quick attacks and phase back through the flames, keeping his foes on their toes as they can never be sure where he's going to come from. In addition, the ring of flames will also ignite the floor, continually burning Axel's foes to ebb away their stamina. However, using Light Magic and throwing Axel to the floor to stun him will temporarily disperse some of the flames, giving Axel's target more breathing room.
