Note about backtags: I can backtag for a good while, maybe up to two months. Let me know if you'd ever like to handwave or drop anything!
Note about meta: I'm not interested in
direct fourth-wall breaking such as calling out his canon or using Wikipedia info against him. But I don't mind very light meta (noting Ky reminds someone of a video game character, his uniform looks like a bad anime accident, etc.).
Warnings:Ky is married. His narrative might mention this in a variety of ways through reminders of his wife, mistaken identities under the influence of aphrodisiacs, feelings of guilt over cheating on her, etc. If this makes you uncomfortable, please
let me know and I will keep them out of his narrative.
He's also rather religious in an anime-Catholic kind of way. He isn't the type to preach to others to convert, but he does practice some aspects of his religion through actions such as prayer. If you're uncomfortable with any mentions of religion,
let me know and I can remember to keep them out of our threads.
Requested Warnings:Anything involving sexual abuse of a child. I can avoid things on my own, but I'll always appreciate a heads up.
Anything Else:Don't hesitate to
message me if you have questions, critique, or plotting ideas!

「 Character 」
Name: Ky Kiske
Canon: Guilty Gear
Canon Point: Xrd -SIGN- Ch. 09, Maelstrom B (Right when Ky is ambushed and shot; while he's momentarily presumed dead.)
Age: 30
Background
Personality
Ky is a man with no ulterior motives. He's honest and sincere about his fight for justice. He believes in happiness and peace for the defenseless who are struggling in life. He naturally takes on leadership positions in Guilty Gear because of his drive do good in the world. He's lawful-good almost to a T — earlier in the series, he even takes on an adversarial role against many characters due to his unwavering devotion to the law. Ky eventually learns why his blind devotion is harmful, but the ordeal never truly breaks his idealistic views and morals.
This doesn't mean he's completely incapable of adjusting his beliefs. An example is his mindset during and after the war. Before the war, Ky held strictly black and white views on justice. His beliefs were right and anyone against him was wrong. There was no in-between. After the war — after the events of Guilty Gear X2 that involved the discovery of corruption within his own police force and other governing bodies — he realized some "troublemakers" were actually trying to disrupt the truly wrongful entities.
Another example of him adjusting his views is when he met his wife, Dizzy, during Guilty Gear X2. She's a half-Gear. He spent over half of his life fighting against Gears to the point of being called a "killing machine" by another character. When he first met her, he was ready to fight and destroy her like the other Gears. After hearing her speak about her wishes to live a peaceful life, he realized it wasn't right to kill her. Not only did he spare her life, but he even provided protection and shelter. Getting to know and understand her opened him up to learning about the existence of other peaceful Gears like her.
These two examples don't show an extreme heel-turn away from his prior beliefs but show a willingness to adapt and refine his definition of justice. He can be really stubborn and resistant to change as a holdover from his youth, but he's relatively more flexible due to life experience and age.
The series frequently pushes the idea of Ky representing the hope of humankind. His personality reflects that through his constant battles against any threats to the world. Due to surviving and fighting during the war, he's become the type of person that throws himself into fights without fearing death. In fact, he willingly uses his life as a bargaining tool if it will protect the people important to him. Ky has no real middle ground when it comes to protecting the people he loves. It's all or nothing.
However, he does have some insecurity about his ability to properly protect his loved ones. His faith in himself was shaken after being blackmailed and manipulated into becoming a puppet-king. Sometimes it takes some comfort and support from others to help him regain his confidence.
The events of Guilty Gear also show he's very driven by his heart. His emotions drive everything he does — he's incredibly human, for better or for worse. His older peers often tell him to calm down or "grow up," but his honest emotions and charisma set him apart from other politicians. It earns him the affection of his friends, family, and many of his subjects.
Other personality quirks: He's religious and chivalrous in the old-fashioned sense. He believes in protecting women and children because he considers them more delicate, even if the woman can fight. He also compliments opponents without hesitation and extends them offers to use their strength for the good of the people. He always has hope that people will choose good over evil.
In summary:Powers
BATTLE TACTICS ♦ Ky possesses military and wartime experience relevant to his canon. (No gunpowder-based guns, but medieval and magic weapons.) He relies heavily on tactics and techniques to make up for what he lacks in pure physical strength.
SWORDPLAY ♦ Ky typically wields a long, two-handed sword as his weapon of choice.
HAND-TO-HAND ♦ He often integrates punches and kicks to mix up his attacks. It's best used to pressure opponents to give him some distance so he can then follow up with his sword or magic.
LIGHTNING MAGIC ♦ Ky can control lightning to give his sword with an electric charge, place lightning-charged glyphs, fire lightning projectiles, and surround himself with lightning to propel himself forward for a charge attack.
CRIMSON EYE ♦ Ky's left eye can turn crimson when activated, which enables a temporary and extreme boost in natural abilities such as healing or strength. He does not use this ability unless in extremely dire circumstances. Use is very limited. It causes pain afterward.
OTHER MAGIC ♦ Ky is capable of using magic for general, everyday use. Examples include using magic spells as phones or to cook.
Items
Ky will arrive with his default uniform, shot up multiple times, and an empty scabbard. (His sword will not arrive with him.)
