Stratagem is a tribute dedicated to Zexion (Kingdom Hearts).
It was opened on the 28th of August, 2007 and is nearly complete.
It is to be revamped some time in the near future.
Zexion is a deceptive character from the role-playing(-ish) game Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories. He is the sixth and final senior member of the notorious Organization XIII, and the youngest in terms of appearance of the first half of the group. Zexion is an intelligent and calculative nobody, though too sarcastic for his own good as his remarks net some negative responses. Contary to some belief, he's a rather talkative individual once there's a topic that he finds interesting. Unofficially Zexion is the brains of the organization, avoiding all physical confrontations whenever possible, and prefers to manipulate his opponents.
Since the beginning I was never much of a Kingdom Hearts fan, it never really caught my interest. This was especially in the case for Chain of Memories, the story in between Kingdom Hearts I and II. The game glitched at one point and lost its latest save, returning me to the beginning of the stage I had just completed, and that blew off my ambition to ever finish Sora's story. However, once Courtney began discussing the loveliness known as Zexion during our daily chat, I grew fond once more. It was a few months after that I witnessed a friend of mine at school playing Riku's story, and I was then determined to look into it after all those years.
Evidently, Zexion was the prodigal child of the organization, considering his youthful appearance in contrast to the middle-aged seniors. As fond as I am with bright characters, the fact that number VI was actually good looking as well was a superb bonus. And I do love the occasional sarcastic remarks he makes, they add some humor to the otherwise strict and serious conversations between him, Vexen, and Lexaeus.
One can never diss a man who uses a lexicon - an encyclopedia - for his choice of weapon. Really, it's incredibly intriguing and singular.
The particularly interesting aspect of Zexion would be his previous life. There are only brief mentionings of him, yet the little that is said is what brings so much of his character into the open. The youngest apprentice who had suggested a brilliant idea, for one. This can easily support the assumption that Zexion himself was a genius in his days back as a scientist and apprentice. Especially if one compares how young he looks when next to Vexen or Lexaeus.
Even now Kingdom Hearts is a minor fandom of mine. Despite that, with Zexion being the amazing wonder he is, has made it to the favorite list. Truly, VI is an organization member to adore and admire.
