Kyuuri

Kyuuri's Icon

**Kyuuri** is one of the four Ultimatees who is well known for being mischievous. Unlike the other three Ultimatees, his true form has no physical appearance, and can only be defined as "the presence of turquoise and orange." Often times, he appears in his chosen form as a slender creature resembling a Wildern with an asymmetrical pattern of turquoise and orange streaks all over his body. Some have associated these colors with fire and ice. His chosen eye color is a deep green.

## Appearance

Although Kyuuri's true form has no physical appearance, he is often described as the embodiment of turquoise and orange, two colors that noticeably clash. His chosen form has changed a few times, but it usually resembles a winged wildern standing at 7' with a 24' wingspan. Most times, he will wear clothing, and the outfit usually changes depending on his mood.

### Kyuuri as an Aerian

In the second and third books of Tonoki's Tale, Kyuuri descends onto his own personal realm in Aerian form to get a closer look at Tonoki, his supposed favored "subject." In this form, he has silvery white hair, large orange and turquoise wings, blue eyes, and pale peach skin. He likes to wear brown coats, and stands at a slightly lowered 6'5" so that his height is not to appear too abnormal. This is the only form of Kyuuri that has actively wandered the mortal realm.

## Personality

Kyuuri is just as creative and open minded as the other four Ultimatees, but he is far from virtuous. He has no shame in being apathetic towards the lives of mortals, and likes to spite the Observers just for being a lower rank. Gatekeeper considers him the wild and mischievous one, saying she genuinely finds him annoying, but his presence is still needed to achieve balance. He has a rivalry with the "purest" of the four, being D'kalekai. More often than not, they will go head to head arguing over the value of mortality and peace. Kyuuri may have a tendency to be rude to those beneath him, and loves to mess with others, but he has a strong adoration for long and elaborate plans. Complexities and madness intrigue him, which partially inspired him to create his own realm just to test on the mortals living there. Unfortunately, Kyuuri can be considered the "evil" one of the four, as he sees no reason to feel bad for the mortals who have suffered because of his choices, especially the friends of Tonoki. Due to this side of him, Gatekeeper does not allow Kyuuri to make any major changes or influences in the main mortal dimension. He dislikes this restriction, but is patient enough to obey. Unlike the rest of the Ultimatees, he has shown to grow attached to specific mortals seemingly at random. These mortals include Tonoki, Tigon, Skylen, and Logan of the Koi. The only common traits these four have are that they are men who have a particularly bad relationship with their parental figures, although there is no confirmation as to whether or not these shared traits have any meaning to Kyuuri himself.

## Creation of the Solitary Realm

When Gatekeeper constantly denied Kyuuri any permission to make major changes in the main mortal dimension, he decided to take matters into his own hands by creating his own separate dimension just for him to experiment on all by himself. This realm was locked from the eyes of the other Ultimatees, and none of the Observers would be able to enter it either. In this realm, he was inspired by the idea of "wilderns and wings" to create two species of humanlike creatures: Aerians and Lunians. He closely watched the realm for several years, making a few changes just to see how it would go down. When he noticed the Aerian prince Tonoki had a very distinctly different mindset from the other Aerians, he took an interest in him immediately, influencing the rest of the realm to revolve around him, and even messing with his appearance and personality to make him more likeable to his peers. Due to Low not being present in the realm, Kyuuri didn't see Dragonberry's feelings for Tonoki as love, and instead saw Dragonberry as someone who was trying to mess with his perfect vision of Tonoki. He subtly forced everyone out of Tonoki's life as the years went on. He did not predict Gray's uprising, but when it began, he saw it as a perfect opportunity to insert himself. Unfortunately, Gray killed Tonoki, so Kyuuri took some time away, and decided he would retcon the timeline by creating a portal for Orion, Tonoki's son, to go back and warn his father of the impending doom. Kyuuri once again inserted himself into the world in his Aerian form, and watched it all go down. He was lucky that Dragonberry had saved Tonoki's life this time, and that he wouldn't have to reset the world once again. Orion disappeared, and Kyuuri found himself enjoying life as an Aerian more than he thought he would. He grew remarkably close to Tonoki, using his powers as an Ultimatee to influence the king to trust him. The kingdom was driven mad trying to figure out why they could trust him so much, and Kyuuri found it hilarious. Unfortunately, Tonoki chose to sacrifice himself to save Dragonberry's life when Kyuuri attempted to kill him. Realizing that these mortals could never fit his perfect vision on their own, Kyuuri fled from the realm, and destroyed the timeline completely a few days later. The solitary realm was not restored nor mentioned ever again. He informed the other Ultimatees of his adventures, to which they angrily scolded him over. To this day, Kyuuri contemplates whether or not he should create another locked dimension.
