taichara and I reached a point in our Kingdom Hearts roleplay where Xigbar was reunited with his heart, once more becoming the person he once was: Braig.
Here is my description of what he looks like as Braig:
A scintillating flash of light at the contact point, and Xigbar throws his head back, mouth opening in a soundless howl. His back arches, his feet lift the ground and he doens't fall. As the heart moves in he seems to glow from inside, his too-pale skin shining, his scars livid and angry, his eyepatch a blotch of shadow. And then the long black coat dissolves, falls away, and his skin darkens to a healthier flush, his scars bleach, his long ponytail breaks it's binding and spreads out, thickens, lightens.
The white streaks blend into the black and lighten the whole of his mane to charcoal, and it springs free a shaggy fringe to his cheekbones, from under which peeks an eye of deep gold as he slowly curls forward and then collapses on his knees. All that is left of the pale streaks is a touch of silver at each temple, tucked behind his pointed ears, one of which has developed a faint notch, an imperfection heralding abck to his childhood that the Nobody form had smoothed over.
Without the coat, there's nothing on his chest and the scars that continue there are just as Jade would have seen if he'd ever caught Braig with his shirt off, which is likely, since Braig's much more casual about baring his skin around people than Even is. The trousers and boots are cut closer yet than they were on Even, and probably too restrictive for him if he's not well. Which, judging by the way he's breathing quick and shallow, he's not.
The patch is still there, but no longer black; now back to being a thick piece of brown chocobo leather, tooled round the edges and worn at the corner where he would lift it to scratch, scarred here and there from hard use, tied on with a stretched leather thong that disappears into his dampening hair.
Pre-loss-of-heart Braig will be seen in Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep. Click the cut below to see what he'll look like in that, or follow this link to get a bit more info and also the chance of a larger version of the pic.
I call him Civil War Barbie:
All said, I really like my version better.
