## Character Backstory

A strong-willed young man, Hyde’s life has been more or less action-packed ever since his 17th Birthday. Whether it be fighting alongside “Dead Bones” Brook against an unknown hostile in an unknown dimension, joining the Maverick Hunters to help contain the virus that emerged from Osaka or gaining his Stand through an unexpected surge of mass wishings coming true, it seems that Hyde’s life up to now is one truly bizarre and intriguing rollercoaster. As for what will happen next for this plucky and good-hearted fellow, only time will tell.

### Special Condition - [Silver Chariot: Shooting the Sword]

A secret technique and it's only ranged attack, Silver Chariot can launch its rapier with great force and precision, allowing it to ricochet off other objects and pierce the skin of a body with enough force. However, as Silver Chariot can only materialize one sword, Hyde must physically retrieve the weapon before being able to fight again.

### Inventory

* Murasame Mk. 9
* Will’O Machine
* Walkman & cassettes

## Timeline

**February 2nd, 2030:** Walking through the streets of Shibuya, Hyde witnessed an encounter between the registered hero Mumen Rider and Yakuza boss Kazuma Kiryu, but watches the two from a distant.

**February 8th, 2030:** ***[To be written]***

**February 19th, 2030:** Waiting to meet a friend, Hyde is pulled into a nearby alleyway by an unknown woman and is asked for his name. Providing it, the woman, identifying herself as LOGOS proceeds to ask Hyde several questions, as she had selected him at random for some unknown purpose.

However, they're interrupted when Poppo unexpectedly appears, stealing their vows & forcing LOGOS to prematurely end the questioning, with her vanishing in the process. In response, Hyde slashes the nearby wall with his sword and heads home, but not before discovering that the wall he slashed contained the women's bathroom on the other side (Typical Kido luck).

## Fun facts/Trivia

* Hyde Kido is from the **UNDER NIGHT IN-BIRTH** series, whereas his Stand Silver Chariot originates from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders.
* Despite his apparent combat skills, Hyde has been shown to have gotten injured many times, most notably during the Parade event on February 8th, 2030.
	+ This has since been more-or-less fixed following his stat's being redesigned.
* Although Hyde originally was meant to serve as a secondary character for his player, his usage in Maverick Hunters sessions ultimately saw him being used as JudgeDreddpool's main character for Japan.
	+ This was further cemented after a mass-wishing event saw Hyde obtain Silver Chariot as his Stand, something that his player had been waiting on.
