Death the Kid - 3/4robohomoMarch 1 2010, 09:19:46 UTC
Strengths: Physical: Kid is a shinigami, albeit a fairly young one, which gives him several natural physical advantages. Despite his modest size, he is very strong, capable of bringing his foot down on Black☆Star with enough strength to create a small crater in the cement underneath him. He is also very nimble, and is second only to Black☆Star in terms of raw strength and speed among the main cast. He is also highly resilient, capable of taking an immense amount of punishment without being harmed and holding immunity to things such as poison, toxins, and ultraviolet rays.
He is capable of absorbing souls and holding them within his body, and possibly related to this is some magical form of hammerspace inside his body, seeing as he is able to conjure up his flying skateboard Beelzebub at any time. Together with Patty and Liz, his Twin Demon Gun partners, he has a variety of attacks in which he uses them to compress his soul wavelength and fire it at his enemies. When the Sanzu Lines in his hair grow all the way around, they unlock new abilities, bringing him closer to a full-fledged shinigami’s level of strength. However, this has only occurred once, and it was under the influence of Brew, one of Eibon’s demon tools; the Sanzu Line has since returned to its normal state, and it remains unclear whether they will complete on their own.
Mental: Kid is capable of incredible focus, and once he begins a task, he will complete it perfectly. Need your eyebrows plucked over the next month? Kid’s your kid! It’s shown that he is capable of ignoring his obsessions and compulsions at times, and he can be very quick-witted during a fight.
Emotional: Kid is emotionally predictable, which makes him a very easy person to befriend if you find his negativity endearing. Additionally, he has grown somewhat over the course of the series, seeing as he hasn’t abandoned his partners in a pyramid full of mummies due to worrying about whether a painting at home was perfectly straight much since his debut. If nothing else, he has the potential for growth.
Weaknesses: Physical: While his natural resilience is beneficial for the most part, his resistance to poisons means that his hair can’t be dyed, oh woe of woes. In cases of extreme or personal asymmetry and imperfection, he can become physically ill, or even cough up blood and pass out, such as when Soul’s attack sliced off a tiny portion of his bangs.
Mental: His obsessive-compulsive personality disorder tends to be the most domineering part of his mind. He hates asymmetry and imperfection, and if you could look into his mind, you’d find that his thoughts are focused on symmetry more often than not; it is an incredibly rare moment when thoughts of aesthetics are nowhere to be found. His love of symmetry is so strong that he can be tortured with asymmetry, as Gopher discovered after finding that physical torture was largely ineffective against him.
Emotional: As previously mentioned, Kid tends to despair rather easily; his very soul is negative, as Maka has pointed out. Once he starts spiraling downward, it can be difficult to get him to stop. He has trouble understanding how other people see the world, and is constantly mystified by how other people are so unaffected by the beauty of symmetry and the horrific grotesqueness of asymmetry.

Samples
First Person: Q&A please!
Third Person: Death the Kid was still feeling sore. While Gopher’s beatings hadn’t really caused him any permanent damage, having an angry, asymmetrical man take out all his frustrations on you was never exactly pleasant. As he was feeling sore, he took a little time getting to his feet; the world was feeling a little hazy, but something was off.
The distinct smell of a forest hit him, and his eyes opened slowly; something was definitely off. This wasn’t the run-down church. It didn’t seem to be the Book of Eibon, but he couldn’t be entirely sure; he knew that different parts of the book felt different, but to create such a vivid illusion seemed unrealistic. Besides, the smell was unmistakable. The book smelled like paper and ink, and-
…Why were his clothes lying on the ground? He couldn’t believe he hadn’t noticed the cotton pants earlier. It was fortunate they were symmetrical, or he may have had a crisis on his hands. Nonetheless, he preferred his own clothing, so he quickly changed into it. With that out of the way, he was free to look around.
He found himself in a circular clearing. For some reason, a very circular clearing. In fact, he was in the exact center. No matter which way he looked, everything was perfect! His face almost literally lit up as he sparkled and laughed, spinning in place and basking in the clearing’s glory. It was a gift from nature itself, a reminder that symmetry was the natural, beautiful state of the world!
And then he noticed it. The sparkles dulled, the blissful smile vanished. A single rock to his left. It was hideous. Disgusting. A grave offense against all that was beautiful in the world. He told himself he needed to remain calm; it was a single stone. Small, easily removed. He would pick it up carefully, throw it out of sight, and the clearing would be truly splendorous. He walked over to the stone, trembling slightly; he couldn’t afford to mess this one up! The world of the clearing was at stake!
He carefully grasped it with two fingers, lifting it from its resting place. Success! He tossed it with all the strength he could muster, sending it flying far, far away from his newly perfect cleari-
…Ah. There hadn’t been any grass underneath the rock. He quickly ran over to check on the other side of the circle, and there was definitely grass growing there. No, that wouldn’t do. He held his arm out, a tape measure materializing in his hand. He carefully measured the position where the rock would have been on the opposite side of the clearing for about an hour; once he finished his initial surveying, he got to work on removing each piece of grass individually and completely. He would accept nothing less than perfection from his clearing!
Whether he would ever discover the village’s existence remained to be seen.
1. What is most important to you? Symmetry. It is both my uncompromisable aesthetic and the ideal I hold for the world. There are few who understand its sacred magnificence as I do, but I won't be swayed from what I know to be true beauty.
2. How do you think others would describe you? As the son of my honorable father. I don't resent the description; it is accurate, and there is only one young shinigami in the world. Ah, unless you mean how a perfect ignorant stranger would describe me? In that case, I suppose they would say... that disgusting piece of trash with those hideous stripes who deserves to die! He's worthless! How could such a repulsive, wretched being ever become a shinigami? He couldn't! Put him out of his misery, unless you can't stand to get near him due to the suffocating stench of failure!
3. What is your greatest fear? I fear the Kishin for its strength, but I know that it can be overcome. It has been defeated in the past, and I trust in the strength that Shibusen holds.
4. If you could change anything about the world, what would it be and why? If I could only select one thing to change, it would be to eliminate the Kishin from existence. As much as I would like to achieve a perfectly symmetrical world, such a glorious picture cannot be painted on a blemished canvas.
5. What goals do you want to accomplish in your life? At the moment, it is my desire to aid Shibusen in eliminating the Kishin. Once I am old enough to do so, I will take over my father's place as the world's shinigami and head of Shibusen, and I will immediately begin my work of creating and maintaining a world of sublime neatness, balance and symmetry.
