Template:InfoCharacter Terra is a character from the upcoming game Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep. He is one of the former Keyblade masters before Sora. He is the tallest and assumed to be the oldest of the three Keyblade knights; the other two are companions Aqua and Ven.
Story
Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep
In Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, Terra will be featured as a player character. He also has been revealed to know Fire and Blizzard magic. He is thought to have the ability to fly/glide, for his position in certain screen shots show him in a stance that is similar to Sora's, when he is gliding. He is revealed to be the strongest of the trio, using powerful striking hits. He is also known to have some as-yet-unknown connection with Maleficent. In early promos of Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, Terra was searching for Master Xehanort, only to have feelings of betrayal when he finally finds him.
It is also possible that Terra uses or seeks some kind of power of darkness to achieve his ends in a similar way Riku did in Kingdom Hearts. This was suggested by Maleficent to Aqua and Ven in a recent trailer, however while Ven was on his way to being convinced Aqua seemed adamant that this was not true.
During combat, Terra uses swift, powerful strikes. He'll also have access to a Fatal Mode, an ability called Speed Rave, and an ability called Fire Blazer. In a Terra demo against the Unversed boss Wheel Master, Terra is seen using the Kingdom Hearts II Growth Ability Quick Run.
Kingdom Hearts II
At the end of Kingdom Hearts II, a secret movie called "The Gathering" can be unlocked if certain conditions are met in the game. In the opening of the secret trailer, Terra, in his knight's armor seems to be standing triumphantly, holding his massive Keyblade behind his back. He then notices something from off screen and jumps down. As he walks away, the object he was standing on blows away into dust. As Terra walks to the middle of the crossroads, Aqua appears from another direction, along with Ven appearing in the opposite. Three keyblades lie in the center: Kingdom Key, Way to the Dawn and Mickey's Kingdom Key. Terra picks up the Kingdom Key while Aqua picks up Mickey's Kingdom Key and Ven picks up Way to the Dawn. Then they all notice a shadowed figure off in the distance.
Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix
In the "Birth By Sleep" cinematic, unlocked at the end of Final Mix, the story is continued; the three are portrayed as the protagonists against Master Xehanort and his companion, and he, like the others, wields a keyblade. He begins the battle by rushing at Master Xehanort, but the old man avoids him by separating himself from the others with a makeshift cliff. Terra is hit by a blast of lightning from the old man's guardian, but ignores him to pursue Master Xehanort.
He is at first unable to reach the man because of the cyclone of keyblades, but after being aided by Aqua's magic, he is able to reach the man's cliff and attack him. The old man, wielding a keyblade of his own, is able to fend him off with a freezing spell. Once the old man gets a hold of Ven, a younger knight, Terra is thrown off the cliff by the keyblade cyclone, ending his involvement in the struggle. He is seen one last time after the appearance of Kingdom Hearts, when he takes off his helmet to gaze up at it, while his eyes turn yellow.
In Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix, a secret boss known as the Lingering Sentiment appears. Although it is not confirmed, it is believed to Terra. It first mentions Aqua and Ven and mistakes Sora as "the one he has chosen" (possibly Riku, who was originally chosen by the Keyblade), then wonders if Sora is "Xehanort" before finally attacking him. Unlike Sephiroth, another secret boss in the game, the Sentiment fights against both Sora and his main companions, Donald and Goofy. After losing once, he can be challenged again, this time saying that he has nothing more to give to Sora except his hatred for "Xehanort". It's unclear why he actually attacks Sora, though he may just be testing his abilities just as Xemnas had been. After the fight, he acknowledges Sora as a Keyblade Master.
The Lingering Sentiment is the most powerful enemy in Final Mix and is arguably the hardest boss in the series.
Terra or the Lingering Sentiment?
Because there is little known about Terra and the fact that the Lingering Sentiment uses Terra's Keyblade and wears Terra's armor, it has been left up to speculation if Terra is actually the Lingering Sentiment. The most likely explanation is that the Lingering Sentiment is actually Terra's Keyblade acting on its own will in a manner similar to the Absent Silhouettes, considering it never speaks normally.
Battle Style
Terra is the strongest of the trio and he uses powerful attacks to defeat enemies. His known Mode Changes are:
- Thunder Bolt: Unleashes powerful lightning upon attacking.
- Fire Blazer: Flames erupt from the Keyblade.
- Rockshatter: Powerful attacks that use boulders to deal damage.
Trivia
- While Terra's name means 'earth' in Latin, Riku's name means 'land'. Any connection between the two is un-confirmed, however similar name meanings also apply with Sora/Ven and Kairi/Aqua.
- Also, at the end of Birth By Sleep, his eyes turn yellow. However, as flashbacks in Kingdom Hearts II reveal, Xehanort had brown eyes as opposed to Terra's blue eyes, and any change in Terra's hair color is unmentioned, leaving fans baffled as to what connection Terra has to Xehanort if any, although it is possible that his hair has simply gone goldish white naturally.
- Terra battle stance is similar to Tidus from Final Fantasy X. He even has a gauntlet covering his entire left arm, also like Tidus from Final Fantasy X.
- Terra will be voiced by Ryotaro Okiayu, who previously voiced Setzer (a character originally from Final Fantasy VI) in Kingdom Hearts II.
- One of Terra's "modes" seems to be similiar to Sora's Wisdom Form.
- Terra's belt buckle slightly resembles the symbol of the Nobodies, except turned upside down and yellow. The badges on Ven's and Aqua's chests have the same form as Terra's buckle, except white. In its current position, it vaguely resembles the symbol of the Heartless
- Terra has a physical resemblance to Zack Fair from Final Fantasy VII.
- Terra is the second superboss in the series to gain a playable role, succeeding Xemnas.
