Keyonne Greyson

"*The moment I stop seeing people as individuals, but as "whites" or "aristocrats" or "bourgeoisie", I become no better than the people who once oppressed me.*"
—Keyonne's ideology

**Keyonne Greyson**, known mononymously as **Keyonne** throughout the *Autistic Adventures* series, is the primary antagonist for the first two parts of the novel, before becoming a supporting protagonist towards the conclusion of the second part.

## Biography

Keyonne was born to Keith and Gloria Greyson, twenty-two years before the start of *Autistic Adventures* in a backwater country in Afrika called Zahanna, and was chosen to be the vessel for Ajit Pai's soul. Being constantly ostracised throughout his life for being born magic-less and having a peasant-like social status, Keyonne developed a jaded view of the world since he was young, believing it was corrupt for favouring the undeserving stronger minority over the weaker majority that work diligently. Following a traumatic event after he returned to his home country after studying abroad in Ruthenia, Keyonne awakened the Dark Lord's soul within himself, quickly amassed an army, and declared war on the Wizard Realm. With the help of Andrei Krakowski, Sydney Smith, and Hamdan Sheik, Keyonne was able to conquer a large portion of the realm within two years, before finally being recognized by the realm's overseer, Alan Xian, as a serious threat. Following multiple defeats that resulted in a year-long stalemate between his forces and Alan's, Keyonne grew wary of the prophecy of "the Peterphile", and was involved in the later events of *Autistic Adventures*.

Although he survived his duel with Alan during the Battle of the Holy Library due to his predecessor's intervention, Keyonne was wounded to the brink of death. Besides losing his right arm, most of Keyonne's internal organs were damaged beyond repair even by magic. His life was preserved for the next two years through the Chrono Capsule he invented that suspended him in time, during which his subordinates performed medical surgery on him and built a rudimentary life-sustaining suit of armor to seal him in. Upon awakening from his coma after he was put into the armor, Keyonne withdrew himself from the frontlines and instead focused on inventing more technologies and secretly recruiting more members across the realm. Almost an entire year later, outfitted with a new Cape of Darkness and an improved suit of armor, Keyonne and his remaining forces attacked the Holy Library, defeating its overseer Li Shimin and enlisting him into their forces while revealing the existence of the Library to the public. The news of this victory incited uprisings in support of Keyonne's army—now named the Nigaboos—around the realm, greatly increasing their territory compared to three years ago.

Keyonne was widely considered deceased by non-Nigaboos affiliates, including the Empyrean Embers. He was responsible for the death of Peter Yan during the Raid on Area 51, and was the mysterious man who nearly defeated Christian Price in the Smash Bros Tournament during the Game-Land Civil War. After the successful capture of Mizutsune, Astalos, Gammoth, and Glavenus following the Battle of the Kingdom of Beasts, Keyonne would manage to gain the trust of the four Tailed Beasts after revealing to them his ideology, which resonated with their hatred for humans. Mizutsune, in particular, would develop romantic feelings for Keyonne. His livelihood would later be revealed during the Battle for Greatbug, where he actively fought against Greatbug and prevented Michael Hitler's self-destruction.

Near the end of *Actually-Good Shippuden*, Keyonne accepted Li's deduction of the Empyrean Ember's strategy and formulated a countermeasure. On the day of the Liberation of the Holy Library, while most of the Empyrean Embers, joined by Game-Land's military, the Kingdom of Beasts's Animal Army, two Tailed Beasts, and the armies of miscellaneous countries across the Wizard Realm launched an invasion on the Nigaboos' headquarters, Keyonne evacuated and secured the Holy Library while sending off the remaining guards to "reinforce" the troops in Zahanna. Eventually, Peter appeared to reclaim the Library, who Keyonne confronted after he entered the building. The duel between the Second Dark Lord and the Peterphile ensued within the Holy Library's arena, and Peter was promptly defeated after being overwhelmed by Keyonne's superior physical abilities and combat techniques. Instead of using the opportunity to kill Peter, Keyonne treated him with food and had a conversation with him. Although awkward at first, the two archenemies slowly began to understand each other after Keyonne revealed his backstory. Understanding each other's perspectives and ideologies, Peter and Keyonne made an agreement to end the Second Dark Lord War and work together to make the Wizard Realm better. Just when the alliance was formed, the Holy Grail was activated as Li successfully obtained the remaining three Legendary Weapons from the Empyrean Embers and inserted them into the device. The magic energy provided by the Weapons was teleported to the Holy Library and absorbed by Keyonne, healing his untreatable injuries and regenerating his arm.

The spike in magic energy unintentionally drew the attention of the Elysapien Empire, allowing them to discover the Wizard Realm's existence and subsequently pinpoint Earth's location. With Archangel Shuwartz's Dimension Magic, the Imperial Elysapien Army immediately arrived at Earth, and attacked the exhausted forces at Nigaboos headquarters. After receiving a brief report, the two headed towards the battlefield, with Keyonne arriving later after gathering all his remaining troops stationed elsewhere and setting up cameras to broadcast the battle throughout the Wizard Realm. Ultimately, with the reinforcement of many armies across the Wizard Realm and its inhabitants support, the Elysapiens were defeated.

## Appearance

Keyonne Greyson is an incredibly muscular, dark skin, Afrikan man of average height. He has slanted black eyes and short black hair.

Due to the immense size of his muscles, Keyonne generally prefers to not wear clothing that covered his upper body and only wore black martial arts pants and his signature Cape of Darkness. Following his battle against Alan Xian, having suffered several life-threatening injuries and the loss of his left arm, Keyonne wore a life-supporting armor plated with Void Magic Ore. Although his injuries were eventually healed by the power of the Legendary Weapons, Keyonne continued to wear his armor during active combat duty, albeit removed of its life support system. In formal occasions, he wore a traditional black Afrikan embroidery shirt and long black pants.

## Personality

Having grown up being constantly discriminated against for his lack of magic and ethnicity, Keyonne was meek and fearful of people outside of his immediate family. However, his gruelling journey to the University of Moskau that he persevered through, his friendship with Andrei Krakowski and his muscle training shaped him to become a self-determined and self-confident individual during his study abroad.

Despite believing in peace, Keyonne Greyson has a cynical attitude towards all but his closest confidants and deems violence a necessary evil for the purpose of change. His cynicism developed after returning home and witnessing his devastated country and community. Upon discovering the occupation and attack was orchestrated by a neighbouring once-friendly Afrikan state, whose government was financially backed by an Europan jewellery conglomerate, Keyonne grew to believe that all people were only motivated by self-interest. In time, his cynicism even developed into misanthrope. Hating humanity, Keyonne and his army threatened to wage a war on the Wizard Realm that will purge all humans outside of Afrika. Although his jaded views would come to change following the joining of his best friend Andrei and cause him to regain empathy towards others, he still firmly believes that a war is needed to change the world for the better by eliminating all the corrupt governments in the world and the systematic oppressive societies they produce.

Although he advocates for necessary violence and warfare, Keyonne strongly adheres to the law of war. Despite likely resulting in a more difficult battle for himself, he will preemptively declare war on nations he intends to invade and allow them sufficient time to either surrender or evacuate their noncombatants. During war, he forbids the unnecessary destruction of infrastructure and property, and will provide quality relief and aid to prisoners of war and civilians caught in conflicts. After war, he will prioritise the cleaning and reconstruction of occupied territories and proper funerals for all casualties.
