Character Name: Death the Kid
Source: Soul Eater, right after Asura is successfully revived by Eruka and Free
Genre: Paranormal
Personality:
As the son of a god, Death the Kid (generally referred to as simply "Kid") has lived an admittedly privileged life. Of course, because he's always known that he'll take his father's place as the next Shinigami, he's been well-trained in manners and holds himself rigidly to protocol. He's also quite intelligent and a bit of a prodigy since he can maintain a soul resonance with not one but two Weapons simultaneously though the latter might be one result of being a reaper.
For the most part, Kid is rather serious and reserved. He's also very obedient to his father, going out on special assignments usually assigned to meisters above one star simply because his father asked him to. Much like any boy, one of his greatest desires is pleasing his father. And though the heir to Death itself, Kid is kind and good-natured if a bit naive at times.
Despite technically being a god among humans, Kid enjoys the simple things such as going to spend quality time with friends in places like one of their homes or on the basketball court. He also enjoys activities like skateboarding.
Unfortunately, he suffers greatly from obsessive-compulsive disorder (more commonly known as "OCD"). His particular fixation is symmetry which can very easily distract him from more important matters. If something is crooked or out of place, Kid has to stop and fix it otherwise it will gnaw at him, rendering him unable to focus. He has also gotten physically ill from being in places or looking at things that are asymmetrical. There have even been violent reactions in response to things that aren't symmetrical.
Going hand-in-hand with his need for things to be symmetrical is his need to be perfect. This can lead to him taking a ridiculously long time at the simplest of tasks.
Because of his OCD the three Sanzu lines that halfway circle his head cause him great distress due to them rendering him asymmetrical though his father describes them as "cute".
If he sees himself as falling short of perfection, he'll berate himself and claim that he's "worthless" and even "less than garbage". These bouts of depression can also render him useless unless someone (usually his Weapon partners Liz and Patty) pulls him out of them.
History:
It's unknown where or when Kid was born or even how he came into existence. It's debatable if Kid himself is aware of the answers to either of these questions.
Kid trained with his father, Shinigami, initially, learning to control his reaper powers. At some point, he decided that he wanted to create his own Deathscythe. He rejected many Weapons based on the fact that they would render him asymmetrical which, in Kid's book, was absolutely unacceptable. He finally found his Weapon partners when he took a trip to New York City, ending up mugged by the Thompson sisters, Liz and Patty. He found that while the sisters looked differently in their human forms, in their Weapon forms they were a pair of perfectly matched pistols. He managed to save them not long afterward, convincing them to return with him though--whether or not he realized it--Liz agreed with the intent to take advantage of his wealth.
The threesome became an excellent team, their three souls being able to resonate harmoniously. This was a rather impressive feat considering it wasn't always easy for two people to resonate, much less three. The trio went on various missions for Shinigami. These missions varied in success. For example, trying to take the soul of the master thief Lupin was a failure due to Kid getting distracted by Patty's being slightly off-center in the pose they took when introducing themselves to the thief.
After the Lupin assignment, they were sent out on a mission to the Pyramid of Anubis in order to capture the soul of the witch Samantha who was controlling the mummies there. Upon arrival, however, Kid was once more distracted by his need for symmetry, worrying that a picture frame back home was tilting slightly. He left Liz and Patty at the pyramid as he went back to check, finding that it had been just his imagination after all. When he returned, he found his two partners captured by the Pharaoh. Though Kid did manage to free the Thompson sisters by using his skateboard Beelzebub to slice through their bindings, he was completely unable to fire on the Pharaoh due to the sarcophagus being perfectly symmetrical. Kid took a beating from the Pharaoh's bandages, and the Pharaoh exited the sarcophagus to finish the job. This was a mistake on the Pharaoh's part for the Pharaoh himself was almost completely asymmetrical. Kid was so offended by the Pharaoh that he shot the Pharaoh to pieces...and ended up destroying the pyramid in the process. All the souls that the trio collected from all the mummies that Liz and Patty killed before Kid returned in addition to the Pharaoh's soul were confiscated by Shinigami upon returning to the Meister-Weapon school known as "Shibusen" in Death City.
A little while afterwards, he watched with his father the extra lesson for Maka Albarn, Black*Star, and their Weapons as they took on a former teacher named Sid who'd been turned into a zombie. Though the quartet managed to defeat Sid, they had significant problems than the man responsible for Sid's transformation: Dr. Franken Stein. Stein was clearly far more than a match for the one-star Meisters and Weapons. Unable to simply sit by and watch anymore, Kid decided to aid them only to be stopped by his father. Shinigami explained that it was for Shibusen students only, so Kid decided to enroll himself, Liz, and Patty on the spot. However, he never made it to the fight due to stumbling and worrying that he hadn't folded the edge of the toilet paper in his bathroom into a triangle.
Kid did go on to join the students of Shibusen though he showed up three hours late on his first day due to making sure everything in his home was symmetrical before he left. Black*Star and Maka's Weapon partner Soul Evans were waiting for him, wanting to see what all the fuss was about over the new kid. Black*Star, true to his nature, was angered by someone else getting more attention than him, deciding to stand at the very tip of one of the spikes on the front skull only his weight broke it. Upset by the marring of his father's symmetrical school building, Kid with Liz and Patty engaged Black*Star and Soul in battle. Kid was able to fight off both students with his skills and the Thompsons' twin pistol forms with great ease. This drew the attention of many students and brought Stein (now a teacher at Shibusen), Maka, and Black*Star's partner Tsubaki Nakatsukasa out to watch.
Black*Star and Soul decided to work together as Meister and Weapon, but their inability to properly resonate made it impossible for them to work together as such. The pair decided to break up as partners but stay as friends. Both then got shot in the head when Kid's fingers, currently resting on the triggers, slipped though whether it was truly accidental or not was unclear. The battle continued in earnest, Black*Star actually managing to pull Kid to the ground though the young reaper managed to escape a slash from Soul and pull Black*Star in to take a blow to the head. He then entered Execution mode by soul resonating with Liz and Patty, using their soul resonance attack Death Cannon to knock out Black*Star and Soul.
Surprisingly enough, Kid fainted once the battle was over, spewing a bit of blood. It turned out some of his bangs were cut by that missed attack of Soul's and he only noticed after the explosion. Upset that his symmetry had been wrecked, he passed out which Black*Star and Soul counted as their win from behind. Shinigami showed up to pick up and attend to Kid along with taking him home.
A little while afterward, Kid went to the library to borrow some books but mostly to look up more information about the legendary holy sword Excalibur. He found Black*Star there reading manga instead of fulfilling his punishment of cleaning up the library. Upon hearing about Excalibur, Black*Star was fascinated by the fame rather than the possible symmetry as Kid was. The pair went to find the holy sword, their efforts proving successful. Kid was amazed by the symmetry of the blade though he was angered when Black*Star easily removed the sword from its resting place in the ground. Kid demanded a do-over and was stunned to see that he, too, was able to pull Excalibur free. The sword began to talk to them, changing into his human-like form. Both Kid and Black*Star were stunned by how odd Excalibur looked.
Excalibur asked the boys a series of trivial question but never gave them any time to answer. He also went on and on about his own legend in stories that ended in conclusions that had nothing to do with the rest of the stories, even revealing that he himself had written the book the boys had been referencing. He gave them a list of one thousand provisions in order to wield him before naming them both his Meisters, but, after grasping the hilt of Excalibur now back in his Weapon form, Kid and Black*Star simply shoved him back into the ground. They'd learned that while Excalibur could resonate with any Meister, he was so annoying that no Meister could stand being his partner.
They left the cave in disgust and met back up at Shibusen the next day, giving one another a friendly handshake. However, they soon found their schoolmates snickering at them and for good reason: Excalibur had sent them a pair of giant wreaths to them with the message "I'll always be waiting for you".
Later on, Stein issued a very difficult written exam. Rumor had it that whoever passed with the highest score would be the one to either create or become the next Deathscythe depending on if that person was a Meister or Weapon. This would be Kid's first exam at Shibusen, but the reaper didn't bother studying, claiming he already knew all the material. However, Kid found himself having an especially difficult time writing his own name. He even started crying, calling himself garbage, when he had to erase and rewrite the K in "Kid" several times due to spacing issues. He ended up tearing the paper while erasing, causing him to cough up blood and faint. In the end, he flunked the test with zero points, the lowest score in the class.
Following the disastrous exam, Kid, Liz, and Patty went to the Babuto Seashore where, according to survivors, the entire town was swallowed up. Kid sensed a large gathering of souls in a fog bank, so they rowed out to it to find the Nidhogg. After crashing into it, the trio boarded the vessel and scoped out the ship to find a room filled with souls. Using his reaper powers, Kid prepared to save the souls only to be attacked from below by the Flying Dutchman. He managed to evade the attack as Liz fell and was swallowed up by the ship. He asked the Dutchman why there were so many souls to which the Dutchman said was for the kishin. Even though Patty offered to transform, Kid refused. He couldn't wield her alone since it would be asymmetrical. With no other options, the pair fled to the deck where they met up with Liz as she escaped with the help of some friendly ghosts. The two Weapons transformed and together they and Kid readied themselves for battle. Before they can do anything, however, the Dutchman was cut in half by Crona, the Meister of the Demon Sword Ragnarok.
Crona then began to draw out the souls of the ship to feed Ragnarok. In response, Kid attacked Crona. At first, he was winning the fight, easily overwhelming Crona with countless shots. However, the Dutchman--though chopped in half--wasn't dead. As long as the ship remained in tact, he would live. The Dutchman opened fire with cannons on both Meisters but, once the smoke cleared, Crona destroyed the Nidhogg and started to escape. Kid took up pursuit on Beelzebub but ultimately let Crona get away when he was distracted by the symmetrical sky that was revealed when the fog cleared. He returned to Shibusen and went to speak to his father, wanting an explanation concerning the kishin.
Not long afterward was the foundation commemoration for Shibusen. After his father's own short speech, Kid began giving his own speech to his fellow students and the faculty but was constantly interrupted by Black*Star's antics. This ended in a tussle between the pair and Kid becoming depressed that he wasn't able to finish his speech.
However, that would be the least of his worries as an immortal werewolf named Free, the witch Eruka, and the witch Medusa (the last of whom had disguised herself as Shibusen's school nurse) managed to imprison most of the students and teaching staff inside a cube outside regular space. Only Kid, Maka, Black*Star, and their Weapon partners along with Stein managed to escape due to Sid using his Compulsive Burial technique just before the cube was sealed. Maka's father Spirit also escaped due to his following Medusa when she fled. With most of Shibusen trapped, it was up to them to stop the witches and werewolf from achieving their goal: reviving the kishin Asura who is buried beneath the school.
Stein and Spirit fought with Medusa, allowing the students to continue on. Maka and Soul engaged Crona who'd accompanied the witches under Medusa's orders. Kid, using Beelzebub continued on ahead, flying after Eruka and Free but stopping when he came across haphazardly-arranged bombs. He fell to his knees, feeling ill at the very sight of it all, until Patty managed to spur him into action with a harsh order to keep moving. He used the explosions from the bombs to pick up speed and make up for lost time.
The closer he came to the kishin's chamber, the more he could sense the insanity of the sleeping kishin. Liz asked him about it, and Kid revealed what his father had told him: Several hundred years ago, Shinigami sealed away the kishin by ripping all of Asura's skin off and using it to make a bag to contain the kishin's soul. As further precautions, Asura was drained of blood and Shinigami bound his soul to Death City to keep Asura sealed. However, this made it so that Shinigami couldn't leave the boundaries of Death City, so he created Shibusen to train Weapons and Meisters to be able to go where he could not.
The conversation was interrupted by Free who attacked. Kid fired again and again, even using Death Cannon, but nothing seemed to affect the werewolf. In fact, Free didn't even bother to dodge any of these shots. To make matters worse, the disorganization of the room was starting to wear away at Kid. He became increasingly more distracted, focusing more on the chaos around him, when Black*Star made his appearance and snapped Kid back to reality. The pair resumed the fight with Free only for Kid to notice that Free was actively avoiding Black*Star's melee attacks with Tsubaki. This allowed Kid to realize that they were fighting an illusion. With that, the pair took off towards the kishin's room.
Kid reached there first, seeing Eruka with a syringe filled with black blood that was intended to be used to revive the kishin. Kid attacked but Free blocked him. Then both Kid and Free were then affected by the kishin's madness wavelength, starting to hallucinate. However, both managed to snap free of their hallucinations and Kid resumed attacking, once more getting blocked by Free. Because he had to block Kid from shooting the syringe, Free couldn't move, leaving Black*Star free to attack directly.
Despite reassurances that his sixth sense was poor and that he didn't feel the madness at all, Black*Star ended up hallucinating at the last minute when he went to strike due to being so focused that his sixth sense activated. Instead of slicing the syringe in half as he believed, he only succeeded in slicing up the shrine itself. Meanwhile, Eruka had finished her task, injecting the black blood into the bag of skin.
As the kishin began to awake, Kid fired on the sack but the effort was useless. Black*Star attempted to attack directly but was blasted away from a simple swipe of the hand. Kid once again opened fire, but the kishin tapped him on the forehead with some of his stretched skin. This knocked Kid unconscious.
When he woke up, he was on an unfamiliar beach.
Powers/Abilities/Unique Items:
As a reaper and, in essence, a god, Kid has a variety of powers at his disposal. However, since he's still quite young, he's not as powerful as he would be were he the current Shinigami.
There are also certain powers--specifically his Soul Resonance abilities--that are only available to him when he has Liz and Patty with him. There are also certain powers that his Sanzu lines grant him when they connect, however at the time of his waking up in Genessia he hadn't connected any of them.
Standalone Powers
Soul Resonance Technique (Can only be used with Liz and Patty)
Death Cannon: Kid's lower arms become a pair of cannon barrels and three black spikes jut out of each of his upper arms. He then fires off two giant blasts of energy to attack the opponent, leaving behind skull-shaped puffs of smoke.
Sanzu Line Techniques (Currently unavailable because he hasn't unlocked any of the techniques yet)
Madness (currently unavailable since he hasn't experienced it before): Kid becomes much stronger when activated.
Communicator Sample:
[Oh, look! It's Kid! And he seems really happy about something.]
It's...it's beautiful...such perfect symmetry! I can hardly take my eyes off of it!
[He's gazing at one of the buildings in Genessia City. Quite frankly, he looks like some sort of bizarre tourist rather than one of the real residents.]
Marvelous! Simply marvelous! The architect really outdid himself with the design!
Prose Sample:
There were certain instincts that allowed animals to know when a storm was on the horizon. They gave animals fair warning to seek cover. As Kid woke up that morning, he could sense that faint feeling of wrongness like the tension just before a storm hit. He knew what that meant:
Today was going to be a Bad Day.
It wasn't often that he had many Bad Days. These were the days when his compulsory need for symmetry and perfection could not be appeased with just a check around the apartment he'd selected for himself to make sure everything was in order. No, everything had to be neat and orderly. He couldn't settle for anything less than perfection.
He laid there for a few minutes, slowly breathing to try and bring the impulse under control. He whimpered, wishing Liz or Patty was there to help. He relied on them so much to balance him out. He'd thought he'd been doing (relatively) well here in Genessia without them, but it seemed that a Bad Day needed the two of them in order to resolve it before it started.
After a few more minutes of struggling to suppress the urge, he got out of bed, putting on his regular clothes and going to work even though it was still dark out. Every inch of the apartment was dusted, washed, and cleaned. Clothing that had already been washed was re-washed on the off-chance that some speck of dirt might've gotten on them while they were hanging neatly and evenly-spaced in the closet.
Pocketing his key, he carried the cleaning supplies out into the hallway to start vacuuming. By this time, it was already almost noon, most of his morning spent making sure everything in his own apartment was spotless. However, this was a Bad Day, and that meant that he wasn't likely to stop this cleaning fit until the entire apartment building sparkled.

Following the disastrous exam, Kid, Liz, and Patty went to the Babuto Seashore where, according to survivors, the entire town was swallowed up. Kid sensed a large gathering of souls in a fog bank, so they rowed out to it to find the Nidhogg. After crashing into it, the trio boarded the vessel and scoped out the ship to find a room filled with souls.

When he woke up, he was on an unfamiliar beach.
Powers/Abilities/Unique Items:
As a reaper and, in essence, a god, Kid has a variety of powers at his disposal. However, since he's still quite young, he's not as powerful as he would be were he the current Shinigami.
There are also certain powers--specifically his Soul Resonance abilities--that are only available to him when he has Liz and Patty with him. There are also certain powers that his Sanzu lines grant him when they connect, however at the time of his waking up in Genessia he hadn't connected any of them.
Standalone Powers
- Reaper Body: As a reaper, Kid's body is stronger and can take more of a beating than a human's can. He's immune to most weather conditions such as UV rays and is immune to natural poisons such as those found in hair dye which he used to try and cover his stripes. (Unfortunately, the dye had no effect.) However, he is still could die if injured enough.
- Konso: Kid can store souls and hold them for later use.
- Sixth Sense: Like many Meisters, Kid can sense nearby souls. He can even see the shape of a living person's soul.
- Death God Martial Art - Sin Stance: A fighting style that focuses on chops, kicks, and hammer blows. The form itself is asymmetrical but the attacks can be performed symmetrically.
- Death God Martial Art - Punishment Stance: A more defensive style than Sin Stance that allows him to use his father's skull shields to block attacks (a technique he calls "Death Arm Blocking"). He tends to use Liz and Patty with this style.
- Beelzebub: Kid's skateboard which he can summon using his reaper powers. In addition to rolling around and allowing Kid to perform various tricks like sliding down rails, Beelzebub has the ability to fly.
- Tornado Flip: Kid launches Beelzebub, spinning, at an opponent. At the moment, he's only used that to slice through Liz and Patty's bindings when they were captured by the Pharaoh, but it could theoretically do serious damage to an opponent.
Soul Resonance Technique (Can only be used with Liz and Patty)
Death Cannon: Kid's lower arms become a pair of cannon barrels and three black spikes jut out of each of his upper arms. He then fires off two giant blasts of energy to attack the opponent, leaving behind skull-shaped puffs of smoke.
Sanzu Line Techniques (Currently unavailable because he hasn't unlocked any of the techniques yet)
- Shadow Skull Arms: Kid produces skull-like arms out of his body. He usually uses these in a supportive role rather than an offensive one like his father does. (Unlocked when the first Sanzu line is connected.)
- Sanzu Fall Shot: Kid brings his arms up while firing and brings them down before he splits them, his arms parallel to the ground. This allows him to attack multiple targets at once, including himself. (Unlocked when the second Sanzu line is connected.)
Madness (currently unavailable since he hasn't experienced it before): Kid becomes much stronger when activated.
Communicator Sample:
[Oh, look! It's Kid! And he seems really happy about something.]
It's...it's beautiful...such perfect symmetry! I can hardly take my eyes off of it!
[He's gazing at one of the buildings in Genessia City. Quite frankly, he looks like some sort of bizarre tourist rather than one of the real residents.]
Marvelous! Simply marvelous! The architect really outdid himself with the design!
Prose Sample:
There were certain instincts that allowed animals to know when a storm was on the horizon. They gave animals fair warning to seek cover. As Kid woke up that morning, he could sense that faint feeling of wrongness like the tension just before a storm hit. He knew what that meant:
Today was going to be a Bad Day.
It wasn't often that he had many Bad Days. These were the days when his compulsory need for symmetry and perfection could not be appeased with just a check around the apartment he'd selected for himself to make sure everything was in order. No, everything had to be neat and orderly. He couldn't settle for anything less than perfection.
He laid there for a few minutes, slowly breathing to try and bring the impulse under control. He whimpered, wishing Liz or Patty was there to help. He relied on them so much to balance him out. He'd thought he'd been doing (relatively) well here in Genessia without them, but it seemed that a Bad Day needed the two of them in order to resolve it before it started.
After a few more minutes of struggling to suppress the urge, he got out of bed, putting on his regular clothes and going to work even though it was still dark out. Every inch of the apartment was dusted, washed, and cleaned. Clothing that had already been washed was re-washed on the off-chance that some speck of dirt might've gotten on them while they were hanging neatly and evenly-spaced in the closet.
Pocketing his key, he carried the cleaning supplies out into the hallway to start vacuuming. By this time, it was already almost noon, most of his morning spent making sure everything in his own apartment was spotless. However, this was a Bad Day, and that meant that he wasn't likely to stop this cleaning fit until the entire apartment building sparkled.
