Klein

## About

**Klein** is the Storyteller of Universe 023-B. Recognizing familiar faces from the previous Heroes Unitation, he is instantly attached to the characters of the World. His goal is to assist anyone he can without causing violence.

## Appearance

Klein is a 19 year old male with short brown hair, brown eyes, and pale skin.

He dons the uniform of the Wealgaylandian officers, coupled with a helmet to keep his visage steady.

## Personality

Klein is fun-loving, naive, and adventurous, packing in a childish sense of humor. Not versed in any kind of actual book learning, he is ignorant in the more intricate matters of life, while remaining extremely attuned to the more natural side of life. As such, he has developed a great deal of respect towards all living things and freedom.

However, despite having a loving exterior, Klein's interior turmoil is not one easily satiated by mere food. He was originally sacked with a great amount of guilt over accidently crippling his Step-sister, as well as seeing the complete destruction of his once peaceful and beautiful kingdom. However, thanks to his realization, he eventually decided to stop fighting the past, and focus on the present. Yet it still racks him on, influencing his decisions brashly, letting him rush to end the conflict when he can stop.

Klein's personality is best stated in battle. Where he could just go ahead and tear a person limb from limb by letting the full extent of his repressed anger out, he instead focuses on negotiation and bartering to get things done. Even if forced, Klein will hold back, Fighting defensively and attempting to disarm and subdue his opponents rather than downright fighting them.

Klein has absolutely no romantic experience, and will definitely fold over like a table if he is even approached by the suggestion, the compliments either passing right by his head, or leaving him completely speechless, which has caused him to become an (unwilling) target of Fenr's teasing.

## Relationships

### **Ran**

Klein has taken to calling Ran "Partner". Ran is the Main reason why Klein, despite everything that has happened, still fights like the first day. He has sworn to himself he'd protect her smile no matter what came his way, to his own detriment at times. His best Friend.

Klein is afraid of losing his best friend, and as such, has decided to try to make her as happy as possible, being able to see through her sadness.

### **Rias**

As of now, Rias has no nickname, but he has the same reasons as Ran to be around her. However, he is not nearly as comfortable with Rias as he is with Ran.

Finding out she's a zombie has not affected his emotions towards her in the slightest.

### **Holom**

After coming to a mutual agreement with the ancient, Klein feels like he has finally someone he can let his guard down around, who understands why he must care so much for the kenonin siblings. He's looking to pay back his debt with her, though he has no idea as to how.

### **Anavel**

Anavel hasn't received a nickname, but this is mostly caused by him having little opportunity to interact with her. Still, he has pledged to find out the reason for her dreams, and carve out the meaning behind them. He has recently gone into's Anavel world to find out what is happening, and sharing moments of great chemistry and friendship show a upcoming bond of friendship strengthening.

Despite appereances, Klein doesn't understand if his feelings are either romantic, or if he genuinely has taken to treating Anavel like a younger sister

**Fenr**

Klein enjoys having a friend who he can share his love for nature and plants with, even if Fenr laughs about things he could never hope to understand. He has agreed to have her assist with reviving Rias, a fact he's grateful for, and looking to pay her back for.

**Kurousagi**

Klein is disgusted by Kurousagi's attitude and complete disregard for life. Finding herself as a threat to everyone, he has promised her (without telling her) that no matter what, HE will be the one who will defeat her. Yet, after a strange conversation with the two faced kenonin, he's wondering whether he can find out to see what caused her to turn like this.

**Midori**

Klein spared and saved Midori's life, out of the kindness of his heart. He's yet to talk to her, but he feels happy that he was at least able to save someone.

**Red**

Klein met Red in a trip to the frozen mountains of Trince. He has agreed to pick up the bone charms from the wolves running around the world, and return them to Red. He's thankful that she helped him when he needed it, yet he knows little about the lupine woman.

## Background

It is often in the time of greatest strife, when land and its people rest on the precipice of destruction, that a hero shall rise to deliver them from ruin. So fared the land of wealgayland, a realm torn asunder by darkness and war, that the greatest king they would ever know would come. He was Klein, the hero of the land, yet legends are rarely straightforward.

His coming was not one of swiftness. His mother and father were assassinated when he was but a young boy, he was raised in secret, trained not only in the proper ways of combat but also growing a sharp mind, with a hand of action, Benevolent and adept in statecraft, honorable and cunning in war, Klein is a legend to behold. Yet despite his strength, he has fled the country momentarily, to raise himself enough power to take back his throne, and restore the land to its former glory.

In his back, tied to his neck, is his favorite cape, the mythic cape of divine power that only the most virtuous of people can even hope to wear. Ever since the day she first came into his possession, the cape has never left Klein's side, the love and care of his parents imparted into its silk

Klein has withstood punishment after punishment, battle after battle. Yet no matter what happens, with his sister Mesatabel and his friends, Klein has prevailed, for so long as he draws breath, he cannot rest until his homeland is safe and secured.

Now, the great hero is called into action once more, having been granted one last chance to end the battle alongside the people he trusts and knows, even if he is the only one who can know.
