#kioxxe

it was gunner’s birthday on the 16th and i forgot so i drew a late pic and then colored it just now !! i rarely traditionally ink stuff either but it was fun and im happy w/ how it turned out!!

doin halloween icons for my characters! a frankenstein’s monster (ft. zombie traits bc they look cool...) gunner and a dr. frankenstein/mad scientist kio to match!! i did a plex also but these two are a Couple so they get their own post

CHARACTER ROLL CALL: Kio

his personality a fiery opposite from his much cooler-acting partner, kio is also a rata novan who was catapulted through the mists and into the present day thanks to an incident involving some potent ley-energy and an asura gate. empathetic, good-natured and good-intentioned, kio is sort of a living life lesson in how compassion shouldn’t be mistaken for weakness, as he’s as iron-willed, bullheaded, stubborn, and an unstoppable force as much as he is kind. a both research and practicing doctor, kio is an incredibly adept blood magic-specialized necromancer who studies the natural flow of magic through the body and the potential of healing by manipulating it. they’re smart as a whip and good at what they do, and have a tendency to bite off more than they can chew, but he seems as if he’s incapable of being intimidated by anything...

B A S I C S

full name: it’s actually kioxxe, but he prefers kio

Age: 179, but the mists put his growth in stasis, causing him to appear 27 as of 1331 AE. (his eyes are a little freakishly huge, making them look a bit younger than he actually is.... he says he’s just aging gracefully!!)

Height: somewhere around 3′1″, maybe

Build: not particularly muscular at all, but physically capable enough. average build with some chub on his stomach and thighs

gender: [noncomittal hand wiggle] trans masc, a bit NB

sexuality: gunner is the only person he’s really interested in. has tended to date boys/is gay but having a sort of Connection is the most important thing to him

pronouns: primarily he/him but also accepts they/them

O T H E R S

family: only child; both parents died in rata novus

birthplace: rata novus

job: does more research than work nowadays; they want to be an accomplished doctor though (they already are but... not really actively working to provide care for anyone)

phobias: failure, stagnation

guilty pleasures: SUGAR. he adores candy despite fully knowing how bad it is for you. sometimes he can be a little “do as i say not as i do”...

M O R A L S

morality alignment?: teeters between chaotic good and lawful good-- they have their own internal set of laws they ascribe too, but he’s chaotic compared to the rest of society and cares little for ascribing to the standards set by others

sins - lust/greed/gluttony/sloth/pride/envy/wrath

virtues - chastity/charity/diligence/humility/kindness/patience/justice

T H I S - O R - T H A T

introvert/extrovert: fairly extroverted; doesn’t necessarily need others to recharge but is a very friendly and amicable and sociable person by default

organized/disorganized: EXTREMELY organized-- he’s blind, so he needs everything to be put back exactly to where it was. he has about 20/500 vision, so he can see stuff as Blobs, but having everything be neatly organized with very bright color and texture coded fabric tags all over just helps a whole lot

close minded/open-minded: very open minded. you can tell him anything-- so long as you’re not hurting others unjustly, he doesn’t care and isn’t phased. he’s someone you can really confide your deepest weirdest secrets in

calm/anxious: can seem a bit outwardly frazzled and nervous once in awhile, but make no mistake, they’re generally cool as a cucumber and always in control. gets authoritative when anxious

disagreeable/agreeable: agreeable person generally, but if you go against one of those internal laws he sort of has about life, he Will be a pain in the ass and you should get out of his way

cautious/reckless: cautious and meticulous, but not afraid to take risks once he’s decided it’s worth it

patient/impatient: extremely patient but when he snaps, He Snaps

outspoken/reserved: outspoken, if he sees something wrong he has a desire to speak out and correct it, and reaches out to people he sees suffering. if he disagrees with you on something, he’ll let you Know

leader/follower: a leader type for certain; sometimes can appear as a follower but if he seems like he’s following you around it’s just because you have the same goal as him at the moment and it fits

empathetic/unemphatic: extremely empathetic, sometimes almost to a fault-- they can get needlessly hung up on their emotions when he feels like he’s failed to provide adequate care for someone or something

optimistic/pessimistic: exceedingly optimistic. just like gunner, he can stare death in the face and won’t flinch. he’s iron willed and is convinced he can out-stubborn anything in the world. he refuses to give up on anything until it has truly passed the point of no return, and even then, his idea of ‘the point of no return’ is much less harsh than others’. you say he’s fighting certain doom or a lost cause, he’ll say he’s not and you’re just being a coward and giving up too easily

traditional/modern: his very open minded nature causes him to be very accepting of more modern ideas and technologies, but he does have some traditions he prefers

hard-working/lazy: will work himself to death if not stopped

R E L A T I O N S H I P S

partner(s): he’s been gunner’s partner for a very long time and they end up getting married at some point!

what they’re like as a friend/how they make friends/what their friend circle is like: kio somehow both makes friends easily and has very little friends, usually due to their nose being buried in research. however, they’re very approachable, and don’t mind people coming to them for advice. he easily makes friends with the underdogs in any group because he’ll notice them and seek them out and make them feel welcome

most unique or surprising personal relationship (whether friendship, family, etc..): kio and plex eventually have a good degree of camaraderie after plex joins the group, plex being an underdog that needs support both emotionally and medically, and kio being someone who can both provide that and doesn’t judge him based on his past since kio feels plex has a good heart despite The Inquest Thing
