WORLD
The technology is generally Industrial Age/turn of the century influenced, with added elements of magic and more advanced technology (i.e. zeppelins, guns, etc.). Instead of visiting different worlds, there are various continents both floating and on the world beneath, all of them isolated for several hundred years by the world's terrible storms. As far as is known, the ground and ocean beneath the thick layer of mist is uninhabitable and nothing can live there.
In truth, beneath the mist lies the dark side of the world, filled with all sorts of unpleasant creatures and every city that ever fell to the Heartless.
TERMS
Heart - The heart is the beginning of magic and power. Generally regarded as a myth by most people, those who possess the most powerful hearts can wield keyblades and fight back the mist.
Heartless - Creatures who are said to come from the mist, their existence is closely tied to that of the Soulless. Everything the mist touches is claimed by the Heartless, who are called such due to the gigantic holes in their shadowy bodies, lack of emotion, and all around lack of vital signs. When a world is taken by the Heartless, the magic that causes it to float fails and the residents dissolve and disappear into the mist to become like them.
Highwind - Otherwise known as the gummi ship in canon, traveling from island to island is done by using the armed and armored zeppelin, Highwind, Cid's pride and joy. It's the only vessel that can navigate the fierce storms that have claimed other ships for ages. However, it cannot go to worlds untouched by the Heartless since it follows the paths formed by the dark mist-- without it, the storm-barriers are impossible to pass.
Keyblade - Mysterious weapons that generally form the shape of keys, powered by magic. Some of them might have cogwheel elements. They represent the untamed world of magic and mystery that originates beneath the mist.
Kingdom Hearts - It's said that this door represents a seal keeping the mist from overwhelming the world. Ansem's Heartless wanted it to create a world of beautiful darkness, and the Soulless want it so that they can reshape the world to be one that every Soulless can fit in and feel whole... without the originals.
Soulless - also known as Nobodies, the Soulless are a series of failed experiments to create soldiers with innate and powerful magic. The ones who become corrupted by the mist-magic turn into strange monstrosities, but the most famous ones belong to the Thirteenth Order.
The Order/Thirteenth Order - Also known as the Organization, the Thirteenth Order is a rogue squadron of clones infused with the mist magic with their own 'alignments'. They're also a bit crazy and hell-bent on using the Keyblade Wielders to control the mist and everything, save for some small exceptions. They have their own hearts and memories in addition to the originals' imprints forced on them (again, exceptions) and so they're a little crazy.
ROXAS AND MORE
Roxas is a copy of Sora created when the Keyblader impaled himself and returned Kairi's heart to her body. Along with Sora's innate power that allows him to wield the Keyblade, Roxas also has explosive powers of twilight native to most of the Order. After the events that made him leave the corrupt and falling apart organization, Roxas sought out Sora, his 'twin', whose memories he shared due to their mirrored souls. He fought and clashed with Riku who sought a place to belong, as well as a way to make Sora wake up from his mist-induced coma. He was kept in a prison within the floating island of Twilight Town until a mysterious figure freed him. He then aided Sora in the downfall of the Order's members, including Xemnas himself.
Due to the unnatural cases of his and Naminé's creation, they each have their own hearts, and they possess their own memories in addition to the ones given by Sora and Kairi respectively. They do not disappear at the end of Kingdom Hearts 2. However, they will always be linked to their "originals".
Xion was an on-purpose copy of Roxas and her existence became highly unstable, as she had to draw upon Roxas' own life in order to sustain herself. In the end his bond with Sora could not support another person and she dissolved, her power living on through Sora and Roxas.
CAST
Sora - Roxas' other half. Roxas shares his memories, even while Sora is awake. They exist separately but have that sort of... creepy twin-ish bond. Complete with creepy random telekinesis when it's needed. Sora is determined to understand Roxas, who has been hurt deeply by the people who took him in. However 'dark' he may be, though, Roxas and Sora are pretty much halves of the same coin.
Riku - Sora's best friend, and the one who started it all. His heart is strong, and maybe not as pure as Sora's, but he has the darker side of power that Sora needs in order to fight the Order. He is also dedicated to protecting Sora and Kairi at all costs, even if that means kicking Roxas' ass and dragging him to see DiZ in order to wake Sora up. Fooling around with the mist has made him have a sort of light sensitivity, so he wears a blindfold for now.
Kairi - A princess of heart, her magic represents everything the mist can't. However it's impossible to harness except in certain ways. All that's known is that the darkness simply can't stand against her strength. Roxas has yet to meet her in person but he's seen her in dreams.
Naminé - A mysterious girl in white whom Roxas met briefly before he was shoved into Sora's chamber and forced to wake him up. She seemed nice enough, but bossed around a bit. Maybe she needs someone to protect her like Kairi did? Anyway, she has the strange power of memories. Anyone who's ever met Sora can have their memories screwed around with by her. This made her instrumental in both executing half the Order's plan and undoing what happened so that Sora could continue with his proper memories. All the broken pieces, though...
Xion - One of Roxas' best friends while working for the Order. Unfortunately, her existence began to decline (like many soulless) and she simply... fell apart when it became clear that Roxas was the dominant twin.
Axel - Roxas' other best friend while in the Order. He has different motivations than the rest of them, but he's also far more aware of what's going on. Roxas knows that he's going to get targeted by the Order now that he's gone rogue, but he doesn't know Axel will be the one to do it. Axel has to go and off himself before Roxas meets up with the party though, so that's a problem.
