Kad

* Portraits
* Reference Sheet

**Kad** is a rabbit spirit often in proximity to his business partner and friend, Dakuiri, both owners of The Brokenheart club. Appearing alongside his buddy in Act 1, Kad likes to slack off while Dakuiri does his Inspector duties. (Though he does end up helping his friend out).

## Profile

### Personality

Kad is a very laidback character, though he does have quite a temper. If it were not for his partner Dakuiri, he would almost never work. He is often trying to coerce Dakuiri into slacking on the job. Besides his laidback and arguably lazy personality. he is very easy to annoy and will not hide his annoyance too well for the most part.

As of Act 1, on the personality test, Kad is either a Companion (safe, open, passive, cruel, and unobservant) or Friend (safe, open, passive, kind, and unobservant).

### Appearance

Kad is a rabbit with a torn left ear; His right ear hangs over his right eye like a side bang. He has black pupils and orange tinted eyes, though his right eye is scarred shut. He is often seen wearing pale dark green jeans with a navy blue vest and a pale light blue collared shirt. He also has a greenish turquoise bow tie. He has a mechanical right arm that is mainly black with some greenish turquoise sections. He also has tattoos (from when he was a mortal) on the side of his face.

### Background

#### Pre-Spirit

He and Dakuiri were born in what used to be the Southern United States (somewhere around Georgia, Tennessee, & Kentucky). Later in life, he became a soldier of the North Americanian Empire (NAE). He and Dakuiri both had one of their arms removed by the military and replaced by a composite/mechanical arm. The fake arm serves as a weapon; It can transform into a gun and also stores a blade in its forearm. Both of his eyes were functional before his death.

#### Post-Spirit

He and Dakuiri lived in the sewers of Pandaemonium for almost a decade. They had to do a lot of shady things to build up The Brokenheart.

## Relationships

### Dakuiri

They were both N.A.E. soldiers who died together and continued to stay together after dying. They have an ambiguous relationship and seem to have a yin and yang kind of bond. They are seemingly opposites: Kad being more laid back and Dakuiri being an ambitious workaholic. Despite their differences, they share a close bond.

### Hephaestus

If you give Kad the Red-Cerulean Badge, he becomes visibly upset and says that it belonged to "Hepher", indicating that the two were probably close previously.

## Main Story

### Act 1 (Demo)

Kad is first seen on the 001 Fate Train with Dakuiri and will trip you unless you jump over or walk around him. He can later be found at the Pandaemonium Station train platform. Where you can find him next will depend on how you play, but here are the places he can be:

* In front of Dennis with Dakuiri (if you walk up to Dennis)
* Next to the gachapon in front of the arcade
* With Dakuiri on Dennis's fetch quest
	+ They will go inside the Brokenheart, to the beach, and finally to Dennis
* In Ajo's shop (if you decide to spend the day with him at the arcade)

At the end of FREERIDE Demo, he will be in the 001 Fate Train with Dakuiri.
