Profile


In game mechanics would be gaining specific tattoos, depending on what skill trees' abilities were active. Kaida would gain more as each tree is progressed.
(For roleplays, Kaida possesses all listed tattoos, but can only "activate" one state at a time.)

  • Skill Tree 1: "Western dragon abilities." Mostly fire-based & crowd control
        Main tattoo is a large western dragon 'crawling' up Kaida's spine, it's wings spread out with the tips reaching his shoulders.
  • Skill Tree 2: "Eastern dragon abilities." All about shock elements & healing/support
        Main tattoos are two eastern dragons, winding up and down each forearm. (Left arm has the dragon's head on the back of his hand. Right arm has the dragon's head near his elbow.)
  • Skill Tree 3: "Wyvern dragon abilities." Corrosive based & damage buffs
        Main tattoo is a medium-small wyvern dragon on his collarbone, curling into itself.

  • Has various other minor tattoos, such as a small vault symbol on the side of his neck.
  • Abilities are caused by a semi-noncorporeal symbiotic creature that Kaida has named "Doryu." Doryu goes by It/They/He pronouns, with no actual preference between the three.
  • Action Skill: Doryu is able to physically manifest itself around Kaida for a few minutes, acting as both a shield and weapon. Kaida fights hand-to-hand, brawler style, with Doryu shadowing his movements and slicing into enemies. Kaida sort of "puppets" Doryu's movements, but Doryu can act and move independently when summoned. They're almost perfectly in sync during combat.
  • Doryu's manifested state is fully corporeal, so he can't maintain it for extended periods of time. He appears atop Kaida's back and shoulders, his form resembling a mix of western and eastern dragon traits. His arms hover over Kaida's, and his wings/head/neck act as a shield.
  • The closest real weapon equivalent to this would be a pair of giant, clawed gauntlets.

Gray-silver eyes. Short black scraggly hair.
Rarely wears an Actual shirt. He wants to show off his designer™ chest and cool tattoos, let him be
Will sometimes wear an open jacket or shirt. hates the cold, because he has to bundle up-
Wears cargo pants, Big Stompy boots, and a pair of fingerless gloves (said gloves have little "cut out-windows" on the back, so his eastern dragon tats are visible.)

  • Kaida means "Little Dragon." Doryu means "Way of the dragon."
  • Really enthusiastic and LOUD, this boy is YELLY !!!
  • Openly affectionate, and tends to forget about personal boundaries.
  • Very encouraging and Super empathetic. Kaida has a big squishy heart
  • Tends to barrel headfirst into crazy situations, regardless of how dangerous they are
  • Himbo energy
  • Big Gay
  • This man was Made for Pandoran weather
  • Indecisive as Heck
  • Kaida's idea of vault hunting is like a dog chasing a car. He has no idea what he'd do with any treasure he hypothetically finds. He's not totally in it for the object he'll find, but instead relishes the experience of hunting for treasure in the first place. (If there's a prize at the end of the journey, that's a bonus!)
  • Similarly, he mostly does things for the heck of it, forgetting to think about the greater consequences or danger. 
  • Kaida is generally pretty optimistic, and it's usually pretty hard to get him truly upset or ruffled.
  • Bad at remembering directions and instructions off the top of his head. Needs a written list and a compass, if he wants to go anywhere or get anything done
  • Often mistaken for a siren due to his activity-based glowing tattoos. Sometimes uses this assumption to his advantage, but ultimately thinks it's really funny
  • Kaida is the only one who can hear Doryu, when it's in its non-corporeal state.
  • Gets really emotional about others' hardships, and usually reacts Rather violently toward anyone who actively oppresses/abuses people
  • Tears up/cries when he gets angry
  • Gets very quiet when he's feeling really down—though this is pretty rare. Kaida tries his best to remain cheerful and excited, to keep anyone else's spirits up
  • Is probably one of the few people in the galaxy that genuinely loves Tediore guns and gear. He's especially a fan of the newer models that have 'funny gimmicks'
  • Typically uses SMGs, Shotguns, Assault Rifles, and not much else. Likes guns with high fire rates
  • Bad at driving. Like, really bad
  • Doryu's favorite color is Amber-Yellow


Background Notes

  • Doryu is a rare species of symbiote, who's race was dying out on their home planet of Ladon. The human(oid) inhabitants offered to be vessels for them, some long time ago. Today, unions between human and symbiote are politically fueled due to the social status and strange abilities a symbiote inadvertently gives it's host. One needs to go through 'rigorous testing' (read as: have Lots of money) in order to even become a candidate.
  • Kaida is an ex-space pirate, who got stranded on Ladon as an older teen. He hid his past, and managed to land himself a lower-class job, before finding out about symbiotes. When he went to the embassy, he was told he was nowhere near qualified for a union.
  • So, he broke into the embassy-
  • Doryu was one of the older (and more powerful) symbiotes, who had yet to accept anyone—but the second it saw Kaida, it knew that was supposed to be who it matched with. Of course, the embassy owners and the authorities didn't take so kindly to this, and Kaida was forced to flee the planet.
  • Kaida took up vault hunting shortly after being on the run, since the idea of treasure hunting had always appealed to him. So far, he's only been able to find already-opened vaults.
