Name: Kite (which is his username, his real name is a mysteryyyy)
Fandom: .hack//
Timeline: Post-MUTATION
Age: 14
Appearance: Kite has short teal hair that spikes out in the back underneath his hat, which is red with ear flaps and a gold crest on the front. His eyes are blue and he has a pair of red triangular tattoos on his cheeks. Kite’s outfit consists of a sleeveless red vest over a white shirt and a pair of poofy red pants bearing some odd yellow symbols. His belt has a round gold buckle and two more belts hanging from it, which he sometimes uses to hang his twin blades. He has elbow-length brown gloves and plain brown shoes. Around his neck is a white muffler and there’s some sort of cylindrical case strapped to his back with a large belt.
A picture is fine too?
Though it's invisible most of the time, the Twilight Bracelet is on his right wrist. When it is visible, it's a blue and green bracelet made of many straight-edged panels of varying sizes. In its fully expanded form, the Bracelet is huge, with panels almost as long as Kite is tall, and large curved beams of multicoloured data are fired form it when using Data Drain. IT IS VERY TRIPPY.
Abilities: Kite is very physically fit, seeing as he’s currently inhabiting the body of a swordsman. As a Twin Blade, he has weak attack and defence stats, but high accuracy and evasion-he’s not very strong, but he makes up for that with his speed. He also has some decent magical abilities. For simplicity’s sake, his spell list will be Ol Repth (mid-level healing spell), Vak Don (drops a small fireball on the target), Gan Zot (raises a stone pillar below the target), and Suvi Lei (temporarily paralyzes target, but has low accuracy).
But the Twilight Bracelet is both Kite’s greatest strength and his greatest weakness. It has the ability to hack anything it hits with its Data Drain skill, allowing Kite to rewrite monster data, enter closed-off fields, and destroy glitches and viruses in the game. It also protects him from getting hacked by others to a degree and can ward off most viruses. The Bracelet is bound to his character and cannot be removed through any known means. It’s extremely powerful, but if the target is a person or monster they must have “Protect Break” (ie. get the shit beaten out of them) before Data Drain can be used properly. A person who is Data Drained without getting Protect Broken first just gets a shitload of status effects (ie. gets sick).
Of course, as awesome as the Twilight Bracelet is, it’s only something Kite would use in an emergency. The reason for this is Data Drain has lots and lots of drawbacks, such as losing EXP and going into a coma. Every time he uses its power, his character becomes infected with the data he absorbs. It only takes a few uses before he starts getting random status effects, and if he lets the infection get too high he has a very good chance of Data Drain backfiring on him. To let the infection decrease, he only has to beat up monsters stop using the Bracelet until it fixes itself.
Personality: At first glance, Kite might appear to be a timid boy who looks perpetually lost. A kind-hearted individual who always puts others before himself, Kite isn't afraid to take action into his own hands. He's a born leader, but also knows when to follow, and doesn't tend to jump into things too recklessly. He'll prepare as much as he can get before heading off into danger, and he's more than happy to accept help if it's offered. He values his friends and goes out of his way to help others in need.
Though perhaps a little naive, he always looks for the good in others and tries to see things from their perspectives. When in doubt, he'll ask the people around him for advice, even if they have a really obvious bias (like asking Lios what to do with his hax Bracelet right after he tries to delete him because of it). He doesn't like to keep secrets from his friends, even when his stories sound crazy and they don't believe him anyway. Kite is reliable, polite, friendly, and he has the patience of a saint--in short, he's sickeningly nice. You just can't piss this guy off, because even if you did he'd forgive you for it later and feel bad.
But Kite isn't all heroics and seriousness. In reality, he is just a fourteen year old boy. Still, the player behind the character is very much the same: friendly, naive, polite, though maybe a little more shy. He loves soccer, sci-fi novels, building models, and spends much of his time online playing ‘The World’.
History: The first time Kite played ‘The World’, he and his friend Yasuhiko-known as Orca within the game-encountered the mysterious girl in white, Aura. Aura tried to give Orca an installation book, but before he could, Aura fled. Shortly afterwards, a monster called Skeith appeared. Orca, being the heroic guy he is, told Kite to run away while he held off the monster. Unfortunately, Orca was easily defeated and Data Drained by Skeith. Kite was saved by Helba’s intervention and ended up taking the book Orca had been given. The next day, he discovered that Yasuhiko had fallen into a coma after his character was killed in the game. Hoping he would find a way to save his friend, he returned to the game to search for answers.
After leaving a post on the message boards about what had happened (which is deleted shortly afterwards), he meets BlackRose in Mac Anu, who asks him to come with her to the area Δ Hidden Forbidden Holy Ground. Shortly after arriving, a bugged monster appears. Another player, Balmung, arrives to save the day and defeats the monster, but instead it becomes infected with a virus and is resurrected with infinite HP. Kite panics, thinking that the monster would have the same powers as Skeith, and the Book of Twilight activates. He acquires the Twilight Bracelet from it and a colour scheme that doesn’t look like vomit and uses its power to defeat the infected monster. Instead of being thankful, Balmung is quick to blame Kite for all the viruses that had been appearing in ‘The World’. Kite denies this, of course, and BlackRose reminds him that Kite saved his life. Balmung leaves, and Kite tells his new bff about what happened to Orca. They decide to work together.
Stuff goes down. Kite makes some more friends and explores suspicious areas within the game. CC Corp, the company that runs ‘The World’, harasses him over e-mails. Aura also contacts him several times over e-mail, though her messages are scrambled. Next Kite meets Elk, a wavemaster, and his partner Mia who has a hacked PC that looks like a cat. Mia tells him how to use the Bracelet’s powers to hack into forbidden areas because she’s cool like that.
Balmung encounters Kite again and asks about his relationship with Orca and the powers of the Bracelet. Kite tells him everything, and Balmung continues to be a dick and walks off, reminding Kite that the Bracelet’s power is the same as the one that put Orca in a coma. Once Balmung is gone, the expert hacker Helba appears and warns Kite that he’s being watched.
Finally making some progress, Kite and BlackRose investigate Θ Chosen Hopeless Nothingness and are reunited with Aura-and Skeith, who uses Data Drain to destroy her program and split it into three segments. Kite is able to defeat Skeith with Data Drain, but after its defeat it melts into the ground and forms a new monster, Cubia. Kite gets his ass kicked, but gets saved again by Helba (or he just gates out on his own… or something. IT’S VAGUE, OKAY?).
Kite and BlackRose try to enter the area again, but it’s completely locked off. The pair later receive e-mails instructing them to go to Θ Soaring Sky Bounded Abyss. There they encounter the CC Corp Admin Lios who traps them there and tells them to stop investigating the infections and goes on to try and delete Kite and his Bracelet. Helba intervenes, also revealing that a power encryption prevents CC Corp from deleting Kite’s character anyway. The hacker hints that the poem ‘The World’ is based off of, The Epitaph of Twilight, might hold some answers. Lios is convinced to settle with just observing Kite and his party and instructs them to investigate some infected areas.
Kite eventually finds and defeats the second phase of the Cursed Wave, Innis (Skeith being the first of eight), ignoring Lios’ orders not to make any moves without his permission. A system crash follows Innis’ defeat and Lios Does Not Approve, but Kite carries on with his investigation. Innis’ defeat also gives him an item simply called ‘Segment 1’. Next, he takes his friend Mistral with him to Λ Merciless Grieving Furnace, an area that Aura told him to visit in an e-mail. They encounter Aura, who is reunited with the Segment 1, but their meeting is interrupted by Cubia. Kite and Mistral fight with Cubia, who is forced to retreat.
Still looking for leads on the Epitaph of Twilight, Kite meets with an informant named Wiseman. After Kite retrieves an item from an infected area for him, Wiseman sends Kite an e-mail detailing the Cursed Wave from the Epitaph of Twilight as well as a “spell” used to enter Net Slum, an illegal server inhabited by hackers and vagrant AIs. Balmung supplies Kite with a virus core to enter the forbidden area that connects to Net Slum. Kite and BlackRose enter Net Slum and meet with Helba, but Balmung follows with Lios in tow. Lios threatens to delete the whole server, but the third phase, Magus, appears. Lios and Balmung are forced to retreat, shortly followed by Helba. Kite and his party defeat Magus, but when they leave the area they discover that the corruption has spread rapidly, affecting even the root towns.
ONLY NOT because after gating out of Netslum Kite gets sent to the Facility instead.
