Demyx "bio", oh and Zexion's too.

Bio, my fat butt! Anyway, thanks Ettezag for the translations:

KH2:FM+ Ultimania pt. 2
Demyx

formerly: who the hell knows
weapon: sitar
flunkies: Dancer
element-thingity: water

A member of the Organization who stands out for his confident, child-like front. Playing an instrument called a sitar, he controls water and makes clones of himself. His spirit is very light, and he has an unreliable sort of air; even if he's given a mission, he shows no impression of completing it seriously. However, his actions are a mimesis based on memories, and give a mismatched impression.

["mimesis"--A WHAT?]

captions:

With his exaggerated gestures and constantly changing expressions, he's comparable to an energetic child.

[Heh, but of course. That's obvious].

He seems to be only playing around, but he also makes serious faces. But, these too are only performances based on memories.

[Oh, good grief. Sounds like the Staff simply decided to "cheap him out", so to speak. I mean that they took the easy way out with him, imo. I guess they can't stand the idea of him possibly overshadowing Axel/Roxas or even being part of it. Whatever. Fans do what they please anyway, and I'll do the same].

Though he says he's not good at violence, if it comes to a fight he will freely wield water to repel his enemy.

[Of course. Demyx was never anyone's pushover].

All that being said, I don't mind the "energetic child stuff", but it bothers me a great deal to see him presented as someone who's "just pretending". I know that the game blablablas about their feelings being a "ruse", but I never bought into that. For those who don't know, I pay attention to the novel side with this in that the Org members still feel, but they're "incomplete". Obviously, there's different levels of emotion, but they're still there, just generally muted, except for the more negative emotions.

As for Demyx, I've always considered him and Axel the most emotional Organization members, and it's one of the reasons why I SHIP the two of them as my OTP. I can't believe the feelings either one of them show is "fake". Incomplete? Now that I buy. Fake? Not in a million years. It would piss me off a great deal if the Ultimania says that Axel was "the only one who really felt". Bleagh. I dread the Axel bio, and not just for this reason either.

Anyway, heeeeere's Zexion's:

Zexion
Hiding his intellect and cruelty, "the Cloaked Schemer"

formerly: Ienzo
weapon: Lexicon
flunkies: (none)
affinity: Illusion

A member of the Organization dispatched to the basement of Castle Oblivion, his words and bearing are polite. He controls illusions, and skillfully drives his opponents to destroy themselves. A sharp tactician, he also has the heartlessness to use his own comrades to see his plans through. When his plan to dispose of Riku failed and left him wounded, he became the Replica's "prey."

[Oh, and it was so fitting too. I have always disliked Zexion, and it should be obvious why now. Four Horseman member indeed].

captions:

His polite speech and demeanor are characteristic. He is bossy, and nitpicks at Vexen and the others' rude attitudes.

[Bossy? Oh god! No wonder Axel hates him! Bet Demyx does too].

Not much about him either. Hmmm...I guess it's just basic stuff, so people can "fill in the blanks" themselves, so to speak. But, yes, Zexion is certainly one of the crueler members of the Organization.
