Day 2! What’s in a Name? #Vexen

Vexen Character Analysis Week 2- Day 2

This one is going to be quick, but I just thought it would be interesting to take a look at his names.

Vexen (English)/Vixen (Japanese)

I think the first thing to note here is the difference between the two languages. As strange as it may seem his name in Japan really is Vixen (ヴィクセ ン). Vixen is probably best known as either the name for a female fox or a term for an attractive woman. It's also the name of one Santa's reindeer which I mention mainly because it hasn't ice connection. It's a rather unique choice for a name, which is probably why it was changed in the English version. Not really much to note about Vexen, as it's neither an actual name nor a term for anything. One could mention vex being a part of his name, but I don't think that means all that much on account of it likely just being a simple change from Vixen.Even

Unlike his Organization name, his regular name is the same in both languages. It may surprise some people to learn that not only is Even a real name; it's actually a decently popular in Norway, its country of origin. It is derived from the name old Norse name Eivindr. Its meaning is a bit hard to trace as I've seen it given as both lucky winner and island wind. Neither of them have much to do with him as a character outside of him playing an important role in the Lights victory in KH3. There is something interesting to note about the Island wind meaning that I plan to bring up in a later post.

Again this one is pretty short, but it's still fun to take a closer look at his name.

Vexen Character Analysis Week

2 | Day One-What would

his

lesser Nobodies be?

Starting this off with a topic that's certainly been discussed before as he's one of the few Organization members we don't see the lesser Nobodies of, that is if he had any at all. I'm going to follow the Final Fantasy job theme that most of the others ones follow. for this I have a mix of both my picks and picks I commonly see that I actually kind of disagree withMy Picks

Paladin- I feel like this is the no-brainer super obvious choice, but it's that for a reason. Paladins are usually defined as a defense oriented job that wields swords, shields and magic and that accounts for everything we see in his boss fights. It's also an iconic job like a lot of the other ones lesser Nobodies are based on. I think mixing his element with a typical paladin design creating an icy, jagged suit of armor would look neat.

Spellblade- This is a more obscure job, but one that could work well. The job comes from the tactics series and specializes in debuffing opponents by using magical swords. While it covers both magic and swords, what really draws me to it as pick is the debuffing aspect. I think that really suits his nature as someone who is smart and calculating as it would have his Nobodies use a more indirect form of damage. I picture the Nobodies as a strange abstract rabbit-human thing in a flowing robe, since Spellblade is a Viera-exclusive job.Scholar- another no-brainer one, his Japanese title even has Scholar in it. This one fits him the best theming-wise as it connects directly to him being a researcher. The one thing that cools me on it a bit is that it doesn't really connect much with his style of fighting (in CoM at least), but that is a minor nitpick all things considered. I imagine the design would be a vaguely humanoid figure in a cap and gown.

Commonly Seen Picks I'm a bit meh on

Mime/Puppetmaster- I get this one, but it's one I'm personally not that big a fan of. I feel like it's more of something that vaguely fits his actions in the story and kind of the whole summoning an anti-Sora clone move in KH2, which makes it feel really tenuous. The summoning part is particularly weak as that could just as well work for summoner. Also if I remember right FF puppetmasters usually use things more akin to dolls, which kind of downplays how complex the replicas and even the anti-Sora clone are.Chemist- I think this one comes from people seeing chemist and thinking chemistry, whereas the actual job from what I remember is more along the lines of a merchant or an apothecary. Both of those are cool in their own right, but not really something fitting for Vexen. I think what people are intending here lines up with the slightly more obscure job of alchemist. That gets a bit more of the science-y chemical mixing people are picturing rather than throwing potions at your teammates that chemist actually is. Even then I'm still kind of ehhh about it as that falls into the practice of lumping various science disciplines into one vague concept of a scientist that I'm not a fan of.

There are a handful of others ones I considered but didn't go with for a couple reasons. Arithmetican and oracle were consider mainly as a joke due to the first one's silly nature and the some of the odd stuff the second one can do. Runeseeker and hermetic got the boot as they're jobs unique to particular characters in their source games, which made it feel a bit odd to use here. I would love to see what other people's opinions on this topic are.

Had some thoughts about extremely minor Kingdom Hearts details #Vexen #Zexion
This is something I think about every once in a while and finally decided to make into a post, but it is so fascinating the way kh media characterize Ansem and Even as Ienzo’s parents. Like everything just has Ansem’s level of parenting seemingly begin and end at eating ice cream with Ienzo while Even seems to have done the actual childcare? There are a few lines saying that the other apprentices helped out, but these two are the only ones really directly called parents by Ienzo. I guess the other apprentices didn’t really have the same impact on Ienzo as those two did and thus he didn’t really form a similar bond with them, making him view them less as dads and more as just his occasional babysitters.And this leads to the question of what exactly is Ansem doing that leads to him barely being there for his adopted son? Like yes he is both the king and a scientist, but like what could even be happening with Radiant Garden that involves him to have that many royal duties? The science front is even stranger because he has 5 other guys, including aforementioned son and co-parent, to help out with it, so like is he just really bad at time and work management?
So then what is Even doing during this time? Before Xehanort showed up, it seems like he was the apprentice who was mainly doing the research, yet as mentioned he also seemed to do most of the watching over Ienzo, including teaching him. Ienzo doesn’t have any memories of his parents, so he probably lost them when he was pretty young and likely got adopted around that time too. Unless Ienzo became an apprentice right off the bat, which honestly does seem like something Ansem would do as he does tend to make questionable choices but also that would be pretty ridiculous so I’ll give him thebenefit of doubt and say he didn’t, there were at least a few years where Even probably didn’t have him tagging along during research. If that’s the case then I guess Even just did like 50/50 split as Even doesn’t seem like he would half ass his duties, whether it be research or childcare. Once Ienzo becomes an apprentice it was probably easier since Even could just bring him along during research as part of his training. Both of these would explain why Ienzo scampers off so often as he probably had ample opportunities to sneak out when things were especially busy.
Undeniably there was a pretty big gap in the amount of parenting Even and Ansem did. They also have a fun parent (Ansem) and serious parent (Even) thing going on, with Ansem being fun to be around but not there that often and Even being stern but still very caring. Ienzo doesn’t seem to hold anything against either of them as parents. The closest he has to anything resembling a grudge is calling Even a “devious researcher” in that one scene, but that’s it really as it doesn’t come up again.
I don’t even have a clue what went on parenting-wise once Ansem got sent to the realm of darkness. It may have been business as usual except with less ice cream and completely immoral research, instead of questionable light and darkness research. Going off of where they were lying when they were turning into Nobodies it does seem like Even tried to protect Ienzo from getting stabbed so he did seem to still care about his well-being. 
That’s about all I really have to say. Sorry this is kind of a dumb mess, this was just something I was thinking about and wanted to type out. Obviously the answer to all of this is that these are just background details that we’re not meant to think about too deeply, at the moment at least things could change later  who knows, but help to flesh out the series’s characters and world, which is a neat thing to have.

"Wait, wait, wait!"

Vexen secretly reveals his plan to Demyx. He has been considering giving a more human-like vessel to Sora and company to atone for what he's done, and he chooses Demyx, a fellow backup mem- ber of the Organization, to help him. Demyx isn't eager to cooperate, but Vexen per- suades him by saying he won't have to fight and won't have to be a benchwarmer anymore, and the two become accomplices.

Vexen Character Analysis Week Bonus Day Just a little extra thing. Thank you to any one who read these. I hope you enjoyed them
Vexen Character Analysis Week Bonus Day
This was a very spur of the moment thing that I decided to do because I thought it would be fun. If I do this again I’m definitely going to plan things out a bit more. As for what I want people to take away from this, well obviously the big one is more appreciation for Vexen/Even as a character, but it’s not the only thing. I also hope people take away the idea that it’s worth it to write/draw/talk about a character you like regardless of how much attention you get. If you had fun doing it that’s what really counts. Anyways I hope people enjoy reading the posts as much as I enjoyed writing them and maybe just take a little bit of time to make something for whatever you love, even if no one cares.Miscellaneous stuff
Larxene’s Character File has here list off the majority of Org XIII as people she hates, with Demyx apparently being the one she despises most. His whimsy has no charm to her.
There were somethings I thought about analyzing but decided not to, like his design 
I did not think the weapon names post would take as long as it did, my god.
Also maybe I’m just biased, but I think he has by far and away the prettiest looking weapons in the Org. Someone was designing that man’s shields with love.
I cut this out because it was making the Axel section way too long, but Vexen does just straight up lie at some points in KH3. Like at one point he talks disparagingly about Sora, but then in his Character File he mentions that he actually has a good deal of respect for Sora.It’s honestly incredible just how few fucks he gave as a member of the Org in KH3
I probably should have done an analysis on what his subordinate Nobodies were, but I just did not think of that until after I was done. My personal guess is paladin, but maybe that would change if I looked deeper into this.

Vexen Character Analysis Week Day 6 This one is a bit silly, but I loved writing it!
Vexen Character Analysis Week Day 6-Appearances in other worlds pt.2 holiday edition
This will be like the first one, but instead with Halloween Town and Christmas Town. These are a bit trickier since it’s harder to pin something down as there are less clearly defined boundaries with the two worlds.
Halloween TownThe boring answer is that there would be little to no changes. This is how it was done in Days and it may well just be how it would be no matter what. Another boring option would be an exaggerated version of his normal look. He would slot easily into being a mad scientist, on account of the fact he was one. Getting more creative with it provides some interesting options. Halloween Town is based mainly in the iconography of Halloween as a holiday. There isn’t really any thing when it comes to stock Halloween monsters that’s directly connected with ice. Werewolves get the closest, as wolves tend to be associated with the cold, and points to user-name that would be something I very much like. A ghostly knight or haunted suit of armor would be a great pick if one decides to lean into his choice of weapon, although the ghosts in Halloween Town tend to be of the bedsheet variety. Overall this one could end up being something super fun or kind of boring, it all depends on what aspects if his character it centers.Christmas Town
I only have two ideas for this one, but they both work really well. The first is a fluffy blue and white winter ensemble. With a large flowing coat featuring silver embroidered designs of hearts or snowflakes and a suitably cozy hat, pair of pants and pair of boots. The other was something inspired by stock Christmas angels. As in a long white robe and some form of small head adornment, like a crown of holly leaves. I chose these as they have an air of elegance to them, which would put them in line with the aesthetics of his Organization coat.
This one is a bit shorter and more casual than the others so far. I’m a bit tired today because I had to wake up early for something, but this was still super fun.

(2/2)
Of the two I like the CoM one a lot more. It feels a lot more unique and adds a surprising element to his character. 2FM tries to reflect him being a scientist, but I don’t think that was a good direction to go with for a boss fight. It’s just kind of bad, and not even in a funny way like Zexion’s fight.

Vexen Character Analysis Week Day 5- Fighting style A shorter one, yet still long enough to take more than 4 screenshots…sigh (1/2)
Vexen Character Analysis Week Day 5-Fighting Style
Trying to do something a bit shorter after yesterday’s, but I always found it interesting just how different Vexen’s boss fights are between Re:CoM and KH2FM. The two fights see him use two wildly different ways of fighting, CoM has him being fast and aggressive while 2FM is slower and more methodical.In CoM he uses a fairly even mix of magical and physical move in his general non-sleight attacks. He strikes are fast and precise, especially when considering the weapon he uses. He uses Frozen Pride not to bash his opponent as one would expect, but instead to slash at them as if using a sword. His basic magical attack is a standard ice spell with nothing particularly flashy about it. His sleights lean more magical than physical but are by no means lopsided. Freeze has him freezes his opponent and then follow that up by striking them with his shield, while Ice Needles summons a tracking series of ice pillars from the ground. His “Limit Break” depends on if you’re fighting him as Sora or Riku. The Riku version of the fight has Diamond Dust, where he summons a raging snowstorm. The second Sora fight instead sees him use Slide Break, an attack that has him turn his shield into a huge ice blade. He then glides across the arena swinging the sword around before flipping and slamming the sword into the ground, creating a shockwave with its impact. This fight presents him as a fighter that has both great offense and dense, who is just as likely to physically strike his enemy as he is to sling a spell at them.
2FM goes in a different direction and has him only cast spells. In this fight Frozen Pride does nothing beside float in front of him and block attacks. This fight also has him summon a copy of Sora to fight along side him. He is still decently aggressive in his rate of attacks, but it feels quite a bit different when all the attacks are spells. His Limit here has him summoning huge chunks of ice that he magically throws at his foes. In 2FM he comes off more as a purely magical fighter that just happens to also have a strong defense.This leads to the question of why (in-universe) there is such a difference. Unfortunately I can’t really come up with a satisfying answer. If the 2FM one was just a data version than it could be explained as someone basing it on how they think Vexen would fight,  but the existence of the absent silhouettes means that isn’t the reason. Could it be that he was angry before the CoM fights? Maybe, but it does seem like he’s calmed down by the time he starts the fights and that would not explain the Riku fight. It can’t be that one style is better for collecting data than the other as he seems just an effective at doing it in both fights. Honestly, I don’t think there’s anything that works as an in-universe explanation, it’s just the different teams working on the games came up with different boss battles for him.

Vexen Analysis Week Day 3 Another day, another one of these #Vexen #KingdomHearts
Vexen Character Analysis Week Day 3-Emotions
Something I find so interesting is how Vexen is shown to be a lot more emotional and expressive than Even. This isn’t a new observation as people have pointed it before, but it’s so fascinating as it flys right in the face of what was stated about Nobodies and emotions. While it is now known that Nobodies regrow their Hearts and along with them feelings, it’s still so interesting that Vexen somehow became more emotional than Even when he potentially started getting his emotions again.Even is described in quite a few of his profiles as being calm and what we have seen and heard about him is in line with that. He’s not emotionless, but his emotions are typically a bit subdued. He gets surprised over some stuff at the end of MoM and is a bit disappointed over the limits of the apprentices’s knowledge. These are expressed mainly through slight gasps and sighs. Ienzo’s character file gives examples of him being worried about things such as Ienzo scampering off on his own or Ansem giving Ienzo too much ice cream. These seem to be a bit stronger in their feeling and expression than his emotions at the end of MoM. There is also the matter of him reprimanding Ienzo when he got an equation wrong, although I don’t feel like there’s enough information to ascribe an emotion to that. Overall this paints Even as someone who is calm while being fairly passionate.Vexen on the other hand is a veritable whirlwind of emotions. He seethes with rage and cackles with glee seemingly without any restraint. He is ludicrously irritable and loses his cool at a moments notice regardless of who he is talking to. It is almost as if becoming a Nobody and potentially regrowing his Heart somehow made him lose control of his emotions. Well in Days and CoM at least; it’s a bit different in KH3. While he is a Nobody again, he seems a lot more subdued. Even when he is trying to act like he did in the past, it is nowhere near as over the top as he used to be. He does get a bit irritated when talking with Demyx, although I think most people would get annoyed when trying to get Demyx to do something. Funny as Demyx is, he would be an absolutely terrible teammate. I wonder if him being closer to his original self that time was because he became a Nobody with a clear purpose in mind  instead of it being the result of a surprise attack. He pretty much is just an Even that can summon dark corridors in KH3 rather than the geyser of emotions he was in CoM.There are two reasons why I think there is such a stark difference here. One is that the Heart in KH seems to be directly connected a person’s personality and sense of self. I don’t think it would be out of the question to say that losing his Heart also lead to him losing his calm disposition. A lot of the Nobodies  seem to have vague connections to the personality they had as a Somebody, but with a lot of the traits missing. In his case all that remained was his scientific curiosity. Secondly, I would imagine that having an influx of emotions after you lost them would be overwhelming. Almost like the emotional equivalent of your leg feeling asleep. Everything you feel becomes a startling jolt regardless of what it is.  Either of these work well as an explanation for why Even and Vexen are so emotionally different. Of course, it could always be due to some yet unknown quality of turning into a Nobody, so who knows.

Vexen analysis week day 2 Combing one of my favorite characters with my love of animals #Vexen #KingdomHearts
Vexen Character Analysis Week Day 2- Appearance in other worlds 
This one is focused on speculating what animal and type of merfolk he would be in the Pride Lands and Atlantica. This one is going to be bit short and somewhat less of a proper analysis.
Pride Lands
The first thing that came to mind for me was a lion. His design could be translated into a lion pretty easily, especially a Lion King style one. His hair lends itself well to designing a mane and he just has a rather cat-like appearance in general. Being a lion also suits Vexen well since they are animals associated with pride, something he has no shortage of.I think a species of antelope could also suit him well and are a good way to tie in his weapon of choice. In particular I went with a sable antelope, a large savanna dwelling member of the Hippotraginae family, due to how their horns are used for both bashing and stabbing/slashing, similar to how he uses Frozen Pride. He would have a lighter coat color than an actual sable antelope to better match with his hair, but I still think this choice suits him quite well.
Primates are another fitting choice on account of how smart they tend to be. A species of Baboon would be a fun pick thanks to their intelligence and some species having a golden coloration. Like with lions, I think his design could be translated into a baboon and still be easy to recognize as him.Atlantica
My first choice for this was a bottlenose whale. I picked this both for whales being very intelligent animals, fitting him as a character, and because these whales tend to have a brownish-grey coloration and far down dorsal fin that would make for a really neat looking merfolk tail. A beluga would be another fun cetacean pick.
Another one I think would be a neat pick is a vampire squid. The main reason is that not only would the webbed tentacles make for a cool tail, they would also resemble both a lab coat and the signature Organization coat. This also have bright blue bioluminescence that kind of reminds me of how ice magic is represented in KH.I’ve seen people in the past do Atlantica designs for him based on cold water seals and sea lions. My preferred pinniped pick would be a ribbon seal. They are a species of seal that live in arctic and sub-arctic areas that have mostly black fur broken up by large white stripes, hence the ribbon part of their name. This one is pretty much just because they’re arctic seals that have a really cool fur pattern. Sometimes you just have to go with something purely because it would look cool.
As said this one is less a proper analysis and more just speculation based in aspects of his character, but it was still fun to do. Feel free to chime in with your picks for this!

Last bit (2/2)
Going off of all of this, I think the best way to describe Vexen’s research is a form of cognition and interaction-focused social science that has magical and technological elements mixed in.
Side Note: It’s also interesting to note how often fan depictions bring in things such as dissection and working with chemicals despite the fact he’s not shown doing stuff like that in the games. Most of his work seems to be done through observations, technology and a bit of magic. I think a lot of this comes down to stereotypes about science  and scientists along with  chemistry and biology being the two fields people associate the most with science.

Vexen Analysis Week Day 1 Just a little thing I’m doing for fun (1/2) #KingdomHearts #Vexen
Vexen Character Analysis Week Day 1- What kind of research is he doing anyway?
To start this off I want to take a look at the research he does in game and try to figure what he is studying. Like most media involving science Kingdom Hearts mixes various fields together to create a generic form of science. Despite that there are still some things that can be noted in particular.The big one is the Radiant Garden apprentices research into the Heart. While this is for the most pure fantasy, there are aspects that parallel actual fields. The Heart is shown to be connected to a person’s sense of self and bonds with others, which makes it similar to fields of social science that focus on how we think and how we interact with others. Along with this Vexen is shown to be one of the Org’s main recon people, which requires him to be good at observing people and their environment and then analyzing that information to figure out how the people of that world live. There is also his “experiment” (experiment in quotes because it doesn’t actually meet the requirements to be a proper experiment) in CoM looking at how Sora interacts with and feels about Repliku. This all points to his main form of research being a form of social science.
Most of the research is shown to be done  using computers and other forms of technology. This goes for both Radiant Garden and the Organization. Even stuff like extracting Hearts seems to be done through computers. While tech is a bit more relevant when it comes to discussing what Ienzo does, as he seems to be the main tech guy on account of his work on the gummiphone and developing a social media site,  tech is still shown to be a major element of the research Vexen does.This leads into the Replica Program, which honestly seems to be pure techno-magic. From what has been seen in the games, Replicas seem to be a mannequin that has by some means been given or grown a Heart. Most of them fall into the first category such as the alternative norts in the real Org and post-KH3 Roxas. Repliku is an interesting mix of both as he’s originally a copy of Riku’s appearance that had his own distinct personality that then had Riku’s memories forced on him. Xion is similar but had a far longer time to develop her own Heart separate from the memories she was initially given. The process of how Replicas are given life seems to require a “spark” of either being given some part of someone’s identity or having someone’s Heart placed into them which shows how magic and science intermingle in Vexen’s work.

Reposting this because I realized I can screenshot it instead of writing it all out. Anywho some thoughts from the tumblr #Vexen #KingdomHearts
Werewolf-biter
I alluded to this before, but I think I do want to go in a bit more on my feelings about people calling Vexen ugly, and in some ways Vexen hate in general, even if people may say I’m reading way too much into it. I want to stress I don’t have an issue with people disliking characters I love, I just find that a lot of people are really weird about how they hate Vexen. A lot of it has this almost transphobic/ homophobic air? Like nothing is outright said, but the connotations of the language people tend to use when hating on him can be a bit hmmm. Back in the day people would just flat out use bigoted language and slurs, and I feel like some of that energy still lingers in how some people talk about him to this day. It’s rarely just a “yeah, I don’t like that character”, it’s bizarre comments about how disgusting, unclean or abhorrent he is. That’s language with pretty uncomfortable connotations and tends to be weaponized against LGBT people. I really don’t like how often it’s used by people and just how normalized it’s become. And that’s some of the milder stuff too, there’s way worse things I’ve seen people say about him.All this because he happens to be a dude with long hair and angular features? He has done shitty actions, but others characters have done pretty much the exact same stuff and do not get anywhere near the same level of vitriol, so it’s not his actions driving most of this. I’ve seen this happen in other fan spaces  too, where if a character doesn’t match up to what people think a male or female character should look like and they do something that annoys the viewer, in this case being a slightly hard boss, people will start spewing the most vile shit about them (for another example of this look into how some FE3H fans treat Leonie, it’s pretty awful). I really think people need to be a bit more cognizant of how they talk about stuff.Also I think it’s worth noting that you can do this even if you like M/M pairings or headcanon characters as trans because some of what I’m talking about comes from subconscious biases. We are all shaped by the society we live in and the media we watch/read/play, sometimes we may pick up some bad ideas from them. That’s why it’s always important to think critically about stuff so we don’t end up accidentally perpetuating harmful ideas.
Sorry if this is a bit of a mess, I’ve wanted to get this off my chest for a while now because it’s been bothering me. I want to reiterate that this isn’t about people just disliking him, this is about when people get weirdly vitriolic about it. Thanks if you made it this far. I honestly would like to hear other people’s opinion on this or if they’re seen similar things to this with other characters. I don’t know I just think it’s something worth talking about.

No matter how hard people try, no one will ever be able to convince me that Vexen is ugly. Like I’m sorry, you’re just wrong and have bad taste. I actually have more to say on people saying he’s ugly, but I feel like if I said it people would just be like “you’re reading to much into things”
