CHARACTER DESCRIPTION
AGE: 26
GENDER: Male
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION:
Kael has grown since he left to be on his own. He now sports short raven hair, messy at most times. His eyes have a more serious sharpness to them, and his face has matured (no longer baby-faced). He also sports a goatee, and both ears have piercings. He now stands at 5’11”, weighing a little over 150lbs (still quite light). He has numerous tattoos, mostly along his chest, back and arms, with the letters of “DEATH” along the knuckles. His common choice of clothing is a black jacket or a long black coat, gray trousers and boots. Sometimes, he wears a pair of glasses, mostly when he wants to enjoy a long read over his favourite books, and when he does, his appearance changes– almost serious or nerdy, compared to his usual wild and charismatic features.
PERSONALITY:
Kael has a sweet tooth despite denying it. He may have grown to be serious now, but he still shows his kinder and mischievous side with Aedan. His bond with his zoid is strong that he would be willing to risk everything for Aedan. He is also known to be quite the stubborn man in most cases, never relenting to situations, and keeping through with his word. This, often than not, gets him into trouble, sometimes even to life and death situations. He still has a caring nature towards others, though with the recent events after the war, he has decided to distance himself in order not to get hurt by the loss of a friend, or for others to get hurt because of him. For this reason, he prefers not to be with teams for the moment, and his drive to hunt down outlaws and bandits have risen. With regards to his family, he still makes sure to contact them once in a while, just to remind them he’s alive, or to bring home some souvenir from a recent adventure. He also likes to bug his best friend Radu. Most importantly, he likes to steal moments to meet up with Kaiser, a mercenary whom he has an open-relationship with.
BACKSTORY:
Kael was born to an aristocratic-military family, the Valens of Adelprade, where he was fated to join the military forces. As such, he had the training of a proper zoid pilot, living a life of a soldier and that of a covert ops specialist. However, during the final years of his training, he would discover a family secret that changes his point-of-view, and he runs away from his family. For years, he adopts the last name of his benefactor general, “Nyk”, in hopes to lead a new life. And with his skill in piloting a zoid, he begins his journey as a freelance pilot, hoping to one day become a champion.
He eventually joined Team Sniper with his Konig Wolf, Aedan, and the pair would prove to be quite the feisty newcomers. His combat experience and tactics would be greatly acknowledge in the arena, almost technical at times, but also unexpectedly. He would help his team gain honors and reputation in the league. However, his exploits would also lead him to do some of the errands for hi benefactor general. Often than not, with his military privilege and duty, he would have to explore the desert or escort important missions across the country.
It was in one of those explorations that he would meet his first love, Rhoma, whom he would learn to be connected to the ancient zoidians. Much of their misadventures were dangerous, but Kael would always protect Rhoma. Even when they were from different teams in the league, they would often clash in the arena in good faith, and then just hang out afterwards. Unfortunately, in the years in to come, their relationship would be tested as Rhoma’s past would come to haunt her, and Kael would be dragged back to his family to face his own past. It is during this 2-year long break that Kael was thought dead, as he had returned to the life of a noble military officer, though he ended up having to fight his father and his best friend just to get his freedom back. And after learning the truth of his birth– the complex lineage– he finally resolves the conflict with his father though with reluctant forgiveness. It was also during this time that his fight with his best friend Radu, a general in the military, had caused for Aedan to evolve in order to survive and protect Kael. As such, the Konig Wolf, with the help of his organoid Altair, had turned into the Rayse Wolf.
Returning to the league after years of departure due to family problems and military duties, Kael would continue to be of help to Team Sniper, especially for the newer pilots. Here, he would meet his second love, Jessica, who was quite the rowdy one. A carefree and spirited youth, fiery and equally mysterious. However, what would have been a return to normalcy would be disrupted by the call of war. And this time, each teams were commissioned by the governing bodies to lend their expertise in zoids to help in the defense of the country.
There are no victors in war. People still lose something even when they survive it all. For Kael, it were his organoids, who suffered exhaustion and backlashes from the turmoils of war. Ciel, the small one would not live through the battle, and Altair would suffer tremendously that the organoid would be left in an incapacitated state indefinitely. That broke Kael’s heart and but believing he would regain consciousness in the future, he left Altair in the care of his best friend, Radu’s care who placed the organoid in a research laboratory for care and observation. Thus, Kael decided that he would be on his own for the meantime. That was his way to atone for not being able to protect his dear friends, but also so that he would not be able to hurt others.
As such, Kael would leave from the force, from his team, and from the league for the coming years. He would still get in touch with his family and best friend, every now and then, but he would still refuse to return to the life of the past. Some may say he had reached a second rebellious phase, but for him, it was more of finally growing up and finding his own path in life. It did not mean that he would abandon those he loved. He would still come from time to time to help his friend with military affairs, but as he changed his appearance– no longer the cheery and fresh-looking lad who seemed more cheeky than experience– he had finally matured, and perhaps gotten a bit edgy. But that was only normal as he had come to be known as free-spirited and dangerous pilot in the area. Some would say he turned into a mercenary; others say he’s a spy from the military; but for him, he was a freelancer. Having no duty; nothing to restrain him until he finds his own path. That was the ideal life to begin anew with. From time to time, he would return to the hideaway he and his life-partner Kaiser owns, which is a mix of a villa and a zoids holdings since they do trades and mission briefings there.

- Sample RP from a Previous Battle:
- It was definitely the first time Kael and Aedan would have an official battle for his team. But there was nothing about the circumstance that warranted as a first-time. In fact, if memory served him right, his very first battle with Aedan in the ZBC data under the banner of Team Sniper was in fact against another Shadow Fox, and it was in an underground ruin, cavern-like place. Needless to say, the result was in his favor, but what he really gained from that battle was a good friend (a very very intimate and good friend in fact), so he would not find it shocking if the result of this battle would favor the latter chain of events. A new ally does sounds way better than a pissed-off rival. Aedan growled as they entered the caverns and awaited for the battle judge’s capsule.
“Keep it natural, Aedan,” Kael said encouragingly.
Then, the battle judge’s capsule appeared and greeted them with its monotonic voice. Kael couldn’t tell how nostalgic it felt. “Alright, boy. Let’s do this.”
The moment the judge flagged the battle to start, Kael was quick to handle the controls like an expert. Aedan kicked off for a run as the radar would soon begin to chime out their battlefield. Rushing along the sides of the cavern, Aedan weaved in between stalagmites before the sensor picked-up their opponents. At once, Kael pulled back the controls to draw the crosshairs on target before he let loose a quick succession on the trigger. Aedan in his new CAS Shadow Armor quickly gripped the surface as he breaks his run and pointed the tail gun up in the air. Immediately, the barrel finds its target and shoots twin projectile rounds coated with energy sparks, piercing through the air and following the trajectory of its aim would eventually shoot for the bulk of the enemy zoid. Then, knowing that they may have unknowingly presented their location to the enemy, Kael was quick to turn on the new system’s smokescreen. Black fog shot out from the Shadow Armor and quickly surrounded the cavern. Aedan ran into the thick of it with measured steps, keeping himself hidden in the veil of the smoke. He made sure to keep himself in the midst of the smokescreen as the smoke quickly spread throughout the cavern and was filtering into the second.
As they neared the junction for the caverns, Kael drove Aedan towards a stalagmite that seemingly rose up diagonally from the floor, or may have tilted due to erosion from inner moisture of the cavern. Nevertheless, it looked promising and Aedan quickly ran up on it with precise movement to get leverage. At the same time, Kael moved his fingers across the panel to turn on a switch and the Rayse Wolf system quickly came to life. Black streams of smoke filtered out from Aedan’s own boosters, mixing with the smokescreen but giving the wolf zoid a surge of energy to propel forward. The black cloud that streams from the boosters quickly surges like a thundercloud that amplifies the power on the Rayse Wolf’s joints, effectively increasing Aedan’s maneuverability. And just in time as Aedan jumps off from the tip of the stalagmite to catch the location of the opponent and storm towards it. He gave a mad dash before he leapt for ferocious swipe of his claw towards the side of the opponent zoid. He landed with a spin before he jumped straight towards the back of the target again, twisting mid-air for a counter-swipe of the other claw and skidding on the landing on the other side.
As Aedan skids on the landing, the headgear flips onto his eyes with the edges lighting up with a light orange LED. Kael had activated another of the Rayse Wolf’s system, immediately diverting some of the surging energy towards its targeting system as the cockpit came to life with all forms of guiding system, from the beeping radar, to a portion of the monitor on night vision to filter the dark clouds and smoke, to another panel of a heat sensor to lock into the target. Like a boost of confidence, Aedan took to launching for another attack immediately. Energy syphoning towards his paws as blue streaks of energy sparks began to converge around the limbs. A kick on the ground got him darting towards the body of the Shadow Fox as he pounces in an x-formation. The trail of the claws lights in blue spark, extending its reach and once it collides, the syphoned energy would throw an energy spark splash damage akin to large claw marks.
And as soon he lands on all-fours back to the ground again, Aedan’s front legs bucks as he bends, his tail rises and Kael finds his target quite upclose. The pilot would only so happily tap the trigger in succession, sending energy coated rounds to find its mark at the bulk of the opponent zoid’s body. Then, Kael shows his own adeptness as his hands quickly bring the controls to the side. Aedan follows without a frown as energy surges back to the limbs that at the moment the rounds were released, he jumped to the side and sprinted to hide behind the nearest stalagmite and cover of the black clouds and smoke.
As he circles the large stalagmite, sparks surged within Aedan’s jaw. Kael makes his final preparation as he carefully switches through the panel to keep the energy flow within the zoid at check, and seeing the surge towards the neck and head of the zoid in order, he moved Aedan weaving between and behind stalagmites to a complete circle of the opponent’s location. They rushed out of hiding and leapt, but it was rather shallow as Aedan landed strategically to the side of the opponent before he rolled on the ground, then exhausting the energy surges on the joints and limbs, the Rayse Wolf kicks off from the ground and opens his jaw for a bite straight at the chest area of the enemy; both pilot and zoid roared ferociously. With a bolt, and perhaps because Kael had full confidence on his wolf, he hoped to bring the power of the assault to the enemy as the syphoned energy sparks along Aedan’s fangs quickly surges out and into the enemy’s body. Coupled with their momentum, perhaps they could overpower the Shadow Fox in a tackle, so that once Aedan releases his ferocious bite, he get back into the covers of the black clouds that surrounds the caverns.
