• Strengths - As stated above, Marluxia's psychological strength consists of his skills in manipulation and fast talking. He can be very tricky if you're unprepared for any such schemes. On top of this, he uses the power of 'flowers' in his attacks, which really is suiting for him (as they show that something can be beautiful and powerful). Also, he is very strong, physical weight living up to the great bulk of him and swinging that big scythe around doesn't hurt, either.

 

 

• Weaknesses- Sometimes, Marluxia's confidence exceeds him. Confident but not cocky, he does tend to underestimate others. Though he generally avoids making threats and promises that are out of his league, he has trouble accepting that things really are crumbling around him. Sometimes a 'quickfix' isn't available, and that is how he meets his end.

 

• Hobbies - Gardening, Manipulation

 

• Appearance - Marluxia is tall and well-built, one of the bigger members in Organization XIII. If I had to guess, he'd be around 6' and 160-170 pounds, give or take. Despite his intimidating build, he gives off a look of pure grace and elegance. Light pink/ brunette hair falls to about his shoulders, framing a smooth face with cold, empty blue eyes.

 

However, when handling roses, one must look out for the thorns. His charismatic smile never quite meets his eyes, so although he gives off the definition of 'graceful', we must not forget the 'assassin'. His look, though gentle and manicured, also gives off a heavy aura of power.

 

 

Marluxia can be seen wearing the very same leather black cloak as the organization members. He also wears black gloves, pants, and boots, and whatever lies under those is unknown and never shown.

 

 

• Personality - Marluxia packs a punch in charisma, probably one of the reasons he was placed in charge of Castle Oblivion. It's no wonder how he got the alias of 'Graceful Assassin', as he is just that. Calm and always in control, he is often able to keep a firm upperhand. He is well practiced at making it known to those he's manipulating that should things go awry, the impact of that hand will come crashing down on them.

 

 

A very smooth talker, he has a way of twisting words and he can be very convincing. This plays a hand in his well-played manipulative schemes (such as when he uses Namine against Sora). That being said, he prefers the use of mind-games over any dirty work, as they have generally never failed him. (To someone who is unsuspecting of his tricks, the poison is hidden both in the pill and the sugar, fatal to anyone who swallows it.)

 

 

However, when the charm fails to gain him what he wants, he'll drop the act and show a more aggressive, powerful side. Cross his bad side and he'll have you eliminated, just to make an example out of you. As an enemy his is ruthless and will let nothing stand in the way of his goals. If anyone were to find him out, he would have them eliminated to protect his guise. (As he did with Vexen, for example.)

 

That being said, he's a very determined individual as well. He sets his sights high and has every intention of reaching them, no matter what the costs. He stands firmly in his beliefs and what he feels is right, and uses the above mentioned skills to slowly make his way to his goals. He'll allow little else to get in his way and will likely only ever approach you if you have something that would interest him. Otherwise, he wouldn't waste his time.

 

 

Despite the fact he treats nearly everyone around him as an inferior, there are a few who will be treated as an equal. Once you reach his inner circle you'll find he can be rather loyal. Once you find him confiding in you, there is little chance that he would ever betray you. The most prominent example of this would be Larxene, and, to a certain extent, Axel (until he traitored, that is.) This could work as either a strength in him or weakness, as while it is hard to gain his confidence, it has also been proven that even he can be tricked.

 

 

Sometimes, even Marluxia's well-controlled confidence exceeds him. Though he is not overly cocky, he does tend to underestimate others. So convinced that his plans are perfectly plotted, he fails to expect the unexpected, and this is where he loses his footing.

 

 

Marluxia remains always confident that no one can see through his guise, and when someone suspects him he practically panics to have them eliminated. He is not as flexible as he would like to be, and simply eliminates the variables to stick to his constants.

 

 

This is where he makes his mistake and finds his weakness in Axel, who is unpredictable at just the right moments. Without a back-up plan when backed into a corner, Marluxia has to resort to using brute force, keen on eliminating anyone who may have found him out. However, by the time it reaches this point, it is usually too late and his plans have already been torn beyond repair.

 

 

Marluxia is an individual obsessed with power and likes to be top of the totem-pole. He will try to show this quality in him at all costs. He has every intention of backing up his confidence with actions, but even he can get lost in his schemes.

 

 

Another of his weakspots plays into his overconfidence and self-image, which would be the fact how he treats those around him like inferiors. He expects respect at all times and never gives it in return, and this often causes problems between he and those around him. No matter how hard he tries to elude this fact, it is too apparent in his demeanor.

 

 

He rather thinks of himself as a king on a throne surrounded by well-wishers, and can be so deluded he'd never expect there to be poison in the wine. At times it would not be beyond him to think of himself like this. As stated above, he has his inner circle, and gets so confident in them he would never suspect one who passed his judgement of treachery.
