The changes reflecting a more embellished storyline during his disappearance, with relations out of Union taken out, are below! Obviously with future cast mates I really do appreciate the opportunity to retcon this, so thank you. These changes are now reflected in his app.
This practice continued up till the age of fourteen, when Ventus came across an elderly man introducing himself simply as Xehanort. A superb Analyst, Xehanort saw in Ventus what no one else had so far- his Enlightened capabilities, and offering a sense of approachability, he was capable of befriending the young teen.
Eventually, he was capable of getting Ventus to join him in a "short excursion" outside of Unions walls, and took the opportunity to spirit Ventus much further away than initially proposed.
With such a large family unit spread across the city, it was a matter of days before anyone realized that Ventus had not been seen by any of the older children or adults of the family, and their alarm set off a city-wide search that led to no results.
Seemingly overnight, the young teen had vanished. Given his nature, it couldn’t be taken out of the question that the youngster had somehow found himself outside of Union and been involved in a dire situation. With no sightings of the blond, hopes that he may yet come back home diminished within a month, and his family was once again stuck in a stage of mourning as urgency wore down into grim acceptance.
What Ventus experienced during that time was intense training and intimidation. Xehanort was recluse, and outside of Union's walls there was no authority to answer to in regards to his methods. He attempted to train Ventus as one might train a Pokemon, though his reasons were never revealed
Despite best efforts, Ventus remained non-responsive to attempts to condition him in a similar manner to those rumoured to be used in olden times, and Xehanort was forced to concede that Ventus was not capable of the feats he wanted.
Ventus was abandoned as dead weight, and without any real knowledge of how to survive in the wild, would have been lost entirely. It was a wild shinx that found and connected with him. Initially, their contact was mostly attempts to help Ventus survive, but due to his confused and traumatised state, he wasn't capable of taking in the necessary skills to survive. Eventually, he was lead back to Union.
From second hand reports of the medical staff, Ventus simply wandered through the doors of the Medical Center himself, a shinx at his side. Any attempts at pushing questions appeared to cause severe emotional and physical strain, and the dazed and sometimes distressed state that the blond was experiencing was registered as trauma to whatever had happened during his absence.
With the Puppy line, definitely nothing as hardcore as that! The extent of it is essentially Ven being less likely to be detected in a lie, rather than pushing a sense of belief onto someone. Whether they believe him is entirely up to the person in question, but depending on the actual extent of the lie, Ventus may come across as more genuine than he actually is. It's a pretty inconsequential ability that mostly ties into his newfound insecurities due to lost memories, but I can easily take it out if need be.
Revisions!
