Ky Kiske

Ky Kiske is a tall, slender young man standing at 178 cm and weighing 58 kg.

He has a fair complexion, golden blond hair, and greenish-blue eyes.

His style often features blue and white clothing, with prominent crosses and symbols.

His typical outfit resembles a knight, with a cape in earlier games.

He sometimes has long hair tied in a ponytail, but in later games, he cuts his hair short.

As king, he wears a blue mantle and a golden tiara.

His body is slim but fit, and his BMI is about 18.3, meaning he is considered thin but muscular.

His blood type is AB.

His birthday is November 20, 2157.

Ky Kiske is known for being very polite, serious, and kind.

He believes strongly in order, rules, and justice.

He tries to do the right thing and seeks peace for everyone.

Ky sometimes struggles with being too strict or narrow-minded, especially about traditions and rules.

He finds joy in small things, like collecting teacups, and treasures bringing smiles to others.

Ky was born in France and showed a genius for magic and swordplay from a young age.

By the age of 16, he became the leader of the Sacred Order of Holy Knights.

He later served as the chief of the International Police Force.

After dramatic events, he became the king of the United Kingdom of Illyria.

Despite these achievements, Ky’s journey was filled with difficulties, especially regarding his relationship with Dizzy and the Gear conflict.

Ky Kiske is a master swordsman and skilled in magic, especially lightning.

His main weapon is the Thunderseal, one of the eight sacred treasures.

He can control all elements but prefers lightning for its challenge and nobility.

He dislikes fire magic, partly because his rival Sol Badguy uses it.

Ky is also strong in hand-to-hand combat, especially with his elbows.

During periods when he lost Thunderseal, Ky used powerful substitute swords like "Aquila" and "Magnolia Éclair."

His skill is said to match Sol Badguy’s, but their strengths are different: Ky excels in tactics and technique, while Sol is stronger in raw power.

Ky’s biggest rival is Sol Badguy, whose wild personality and talent with fire magic often clash with Ky’s orderliness.

Though they were once bitter rivals, they eventually gained respect and trust for each other.

Ky deeply loves Dizzy, a Gear who wants peace, and marries her, making her his common-law wife.

They have a son, Sin Kiske, but family life is hard due to prejudice against Gears and Ky’s busy kingly duties.

Sin was angry at his father for neglect due to work and other misunderstandings, but they eventually made up.

Ky’s quest for understanding led him to see Gears not as enemies but as beings who can live in harmony with humans.

• Ky collects teacups as a hobby.
• Many male and female characters comment on Ky’s good looks.
• His name, Hope, is written on his belt buckle.
• His appearance is inspired by fantasy manga characters, especially from "BASTARD!!".
• Ky has one of the most popular theme songs in the series, "Holy Orders."
• He is known for always being average or balanced in games, making him beginner-friendly.
• In cross-over games like "LORD OF VERMILION III" and "#COMPASS," his balanced style remains.
• There are many jokes about how plain or "normal" his fighting style is, but that makes him reliable.
• In "STRIVE," Ky’s dragon install ability hints at changes in his body due to Gear cells.

Early Life and Rise to Leadership

Ky was inspired to become a knight after meeting Cliff Anderson and proved his determination by surviving a year on his own.

He quickly rose through the ranks to become the leader of the Sacred Order of Holy Knights at 16.

Conflict with Sol Badguy

Ky’s rivalry with Sol Badguy started over clashing personalities, the theft of the sacred Flame Seal sword, and Ky’s dislike for fire magic.

He challenged Sol many times but was unhappy that Sol never fought him seriously.

Through meeting others and growing as a person, Ky eventually resolved his feelings toward Sol and accepted him as a trusted ally.

King of Illyria and Family Struggles

Due to his relationship with Dizzy, Ky was forced by the Senate to become king, making him a puppet ruler at first.

Busy with politics and danger, he neglected his family, causing pain between him and his son Sin.

Dizzy, seen as a Gear, also faced persecution.

Tragedy struck when mysterious Gear disappearances threatened the world and Ky had to seal Dizzy away to protect her, worsening the strain on his family.

Ky lost his Thunderseal sword and was then defeated and sealed in battle.

Turning Point and Peace Efforts

Ky was rescued by Dr. Paradigm and eventually reunited with Sin and Dizzy.

With Sol’s help, they brought peace between humans and Gears.

Dizzy was revived, and Sin finally called Ky “Father,” mending their relationship.

Despite being hurt during the Senate’s plot, Ky recovered, showing Gear-like abilities such as his eye turning red and hair growing fast.

He revealed his family publicly for the first time and committed himself to coexistence between humans and Gears.

Recent Events and STRIVE

In "STRIVE," Ky gains the power to use Dragon Install, changing parts of his body to resemble a Gear.

He faces strong foes, helps solve crises with Sol, and leads the battle against the main enemy.

In the end, he lives peacefully with Sin, Dizzy, Ramlethal Valentine, and Elphelt Valentine.

He also openly acknowledges his family to the world.

Unique Story and Further Details

In side stories, there are odd family stories, like an episode about Sin being born from Ky’s eye, possibly just a tale to hide real facts from a young Sin.

Ky is said to be less powerful than the strongest pure human, Gabriel, but his actual strength is often debated since Ky no longer counts as purely human.

Ky appears in crossover video games like "LORD OF VERMILION III," "#COMPASS," and "Tales of the Rays."

He always takes the role of a balanced and reliable fighter.

His theme song, "Holy Orders," is famous and has many versions. Other tracks include "Magnolia Éclair" and "The Roar of the Spark."

In-game, he often has special interactions, phrases, or even boss forms with enhanced abilities.

Different outfits across the games show changes in his life, such as moving from a knight’s uniform to modern styles as king and family man.

• "Let me show you the origin of the thunder."
• "Holy Orders, be just or be dead."
• "What matters most is hope."
