Captain Kyin (pronounced "key-yin") Dagger is the pirate captain/boss of the Seakeepers. He is the son of the nefarious pirate, Archel Dagger and he is the 1st member of the Grimdark Brotherhood, with his sin being Pride. He specialises in using his powerful fist and using a crossbow.

## **Appearance**

Kyin is a reasonably tall man with a bulky build. He is a human and has a short moustache. After the atomic explosion of his home during the Bloodstained Era, his skin became ravaged from the radiation, exposing most of his muscle tissue and in some major cases, bones near his chest and stomach. His nose and right ear is also missing and his eyes are majorly bloodshot, with the missing ear having a huge hole that he mostly covers with his bandana. He also lost some of his hair, having a exposed scalp near the roots. All in all, Kyin resembles that of a zombie but in reality, he is quite the opposite.

Before his demonization, he had normal white sclera with red pupils and messy light blonde hair. When demonized by the grimdark virus, his sclera becomes pitch black with the pupils now glowing and his blonde hair is now a more darker colour. The change also applies to his hidden third eye, found on his forehead; which is normally covered up by his black bandana. He only seems to take it off when ascended.

For attire, he wears a light grey shirt with a black belt near his waist, light grey and black gauntlets that both turn into his Seakeeper's Fists and a shoulder pad on his left arm, very baggy black pants and grey shoes with black accents. When assigned to the grimdark brotherhood, his shirt was given a 1 inscribed on the back.

## **Personality**

Being the boss of a crew of pirate thieves, Kyin has a very savage, narcissistic, rude and ruthless attitude. He thinks he is as strong as a god and those who chose to look down on him will quote "walk the plank". In other words, he will kill them if they look down on him. Due to his pirate heritage, he speaks like one too. Mentioning things like Davy Jones's Locker and such but not as common as his father.

Due to being very prideful, he shows no more care for his own undead crew than his foes. Which led to him being a very noteworthy candidate to be the representative of Pride for the Grimdark Brotherhood. Resulting in his new ability to get stronger the more prideful he is. Despite this, the Grimdark Brotherhood became people that actually cares about him besides his dead parents. In a comedic way, Kyin usually says one-liners and gives elongated speeches about how powerful he is. With the former showing that he has a sense of humour, however his jokes come off as rude due to him usually sounding pretty vulgar and flipping the middle finger at people as a means to taunt them.

He’s haunted by the death of his mother, who was killed by a rebellious mampire. Which explains why he despises Teapot and why he wants to kill her and every other mampire in cold blood. Despite this and ignoring the fact that it was only one mampire who's done this, Kyin is very much xenophobic towards mampires and says he will never forgive them.

Kyin is also known for having a short temper. He mainly shows this by stamping on the ground or on other people; mainly the zombies he summons. Due to his pride, he seems to enjoy stamping on people a lot and will always stamp on a downed opponent rapidly until he is satisfied.

On a side note, he has a fascination for gold due to his pirate blood. There are times where he can be greedy for gold and funnily enough, he can be somewhat bribed if gold was involved.

As time progressed, Kyin realised that not all mampires are to blame on the death of his mother, especially because their species are almost extinct. Although he still wants to find treasure and such, he accepted the brotherhood as his family and hopes to bring them along on his journey for treasure one day, forgetting his hatred for the mampires altogether.

### **Mampire's Bane**

Arguably the most strongest tool in his arsenal. Being a combination of a crossbow and a gauntlet, Kyin uses it very effective and seems to always rely on his use for both close and long range. He wields it as spite towards mampires, hence it's name and crossbows were commonly used to hunt down vampiric entities. Due to the bolts being made out of thin air, Kyin seems to have a infinite ammo of bolts. The bolts go so far and fast that it's capable to impaling onto any unarmoured enemy and pulling them towards a wall, causing them to get stuck onto said wall. As for the gauntlet part of the weapon, they are powered up by energy and allows Kyin to enhance his strength beyond comprehension. This makes his punches capable of shattering almost anything and one punch can send his opponents flying. Combining both versions together, there are also times where he attacks at close range by bashing or thrusting forwards and following it up with a crossbow shot.

### **Lights Out!**

Kyin's ultimate attack where he uses his crossbow to trap his opponent onto the ground. After this, he jumps up and gets a massive rocket launcher-esque weapon . After yelling out "LIGHT'S OUT!", he fires it, causing a massive bomb to detonate into a rain smaller bombs to devastate the opponent.

### **Radiation**

Due to his body being sustained from a atomic explosion and somehow surviving, the radiation caused his body to become filled with a special radiation. Which, for example, makes his blood burn badly to those who touch it as if it is extremely hot water. This also means he is immune to any sorts of radiation.

### **Power of Pride**

His sin that relates to one of the seven deadly sins. Mostly relating to being very prideful. The more prideful he gets via constantly saying he is the best, the stronger he becomes. However, he will become too mentally unstable the more stronger he becomes.

### **Ascension: Seakeeper's Third Eye**

Kyin's ascension. He removes his bandana to reveal a third eye on his forehead. Once removed, Kyin can petrify his opponents slowly into stone once they are hit by a tear that fires out when the eye blinks. The drawbacks is that the tear projectile is short ranged and slow. Plus, the petrification seems to wear off after a set amount of time. However, Kyin can use this ability to get a shot in with his arrows, that will destroy what was petrified due to his shots being fast and powerful. Which, applied to his opponents, will kill them instantly but that's if they are fully petrified, which takes time and prompting Kyin to stall out his opponent until they are completely petrified.

## **Biography**

### **Backstory**

Kyin was born in the Northern Land of Concept. His unnamed mother would be killed by a Mampire. Who is later revealed to be Vale Pastel, who was going on a bloodlust rampage. This happens when Kyin was just a young boy and he would remember this for the rest of his life. The young Kyin would find his father, Archel, since he had a divorce with Kyin's mother due to their own personal reasons. Archel would put Kyin up for adoption at the orphanage of the gifted since he didn't want a son to begin with. After that, Kyin developed a burning hatred for not only the mampires, but also his own father.

Kyin was being taken under care in the orphanage. Due to his pirate blood, Kyin had a goal to rule the ocean as a godly captain, leading to him being very narcissistic. Alongside some others, he acted like a big bully to many people in the orphanage, notably Eon. But Olivia defended her, Kyin's fellow bullies turned over a new leaf but not him. In fact, he started to hate everyone in the orphanage that he devises a plan to kill everyone there. But he couldn't do it himself due to being obvious and weak at the time.

He stuck out one night and went to find a pyromaniac to help burn down the orphanage. He lied and promised money if the maniac burns the orphanage down. They do so and the orphanage burns to the ground, with the pyromaniac later being caught by Ace and Cranium. Grace would later save everyone from the fire, including Eon and Olivia. The two people Kyin didn't like the most. After being found by the people of the orphanage, Kyin would later run away and decide to do things himself.

When the Calamity War ended, Kyin would start learning to do things himself when he reached his teen years. Learning to use a bow and looking for treasure by making use of his newly awakened Seakeeper's Third Eye, that unleashes his unique ability to petrify. He figured he would need a crew one day and decided to look for a way to create one. That's where he would find a forbidden tome that allows him to create a undead crew.

With his crew now made, he decides to use his father's ship to sail the ocean, looking for treasure and stealing what he can. But before he could do this, he is confronted by his father, Archel, who abandoned him at the orphanage. He apparently was released from his jail and they state that Kyin shouldn't take all the credit as the better pirate. Kyin sarcastically says that he would love to have some quality time with his "disgusting excuse for a father" but he knows that he outclasses his father in everyway. This maddens Archel and Kyin is attacked by him. Kyin gets the upper hand when he makes use of his bow. He breaks his father's legs with the zombies. After he spits blood onto Kyin's face, Archel says that Kyin doesn't even deserve to be born, stating that he is a mistake. Kyin looms over him as he stamps him rapidly to death. He then laughs and states that he is a god. He would later become a follower to Frewil when he learns about him and would make his sail flag a tribute to the waterbrush monster. Although Kyin wouldn't be aware later on, his father would return as a ghost. Despite his effort to kill him.

Kyin would return back to the Pure Jungle to go back to his hidden home in the Seakeeper Burrow after successfully gaining treasure and becoming a well-known outlaw. He decided it would be fun if he completely wrecked the pure jungle with his undead crew. So he does so, and this led to him eventually being pursued by Team Crystal; the three people he despised all those years ago. After a heated battle, Kyin would call off the attack and retreats back to his burrow. He would stay there for a long time in hopes of his outlaw bounty being forgotten.

A lot of years pass and Kyin would meet Frewil, who was looking for members for his brotherhood. Kyin was sceptical over meeting the person he is following but when Frewil merely mentions mampires, he gets his full attention. Frewil says that he will give him the power to kill the mampires but Kyin declines saying that he already has enough power to slaughter them all. Leading to Frewil fighting Kyin for a bet. If he wins, Kyin will join his brotherhood and if Kyin wins, Frewil will join his crew. Frewil wins and Kyin dies to him. The malevolent monster didn't have plans to kill him in a fight but it's alright, seeing as he can revive and demonize him using his grimdark virus. He does so and Kyin is surprised by his change. Frewil introduces him to his new grimdark bow and infinite arrows while also declaring him as the first member of the Grimdark Brotherhood.

Kyin would later help Frewil in recruiting Evelyn and Mari. During his Mari recruitment mission with Monkey AC130, he revives Cranium back from the dead and due to his alterrarge, he was able to resist Kyin's control. Cranium would fight Mari, showing Kyin and Monkey AC130 the evidence that Mari is in fact a follower of Frewil. After Cranium was defeated and spared, Kyin would return back to Frewil, obtain a 1 inscribed on the back of his shirt and would be assigned on a mission in killing Teapot.

## **Relationships**

### **Archel Dagger**

Kyin developed a strong hatred to his father. He was unaware on why he was sent to the orphanage until his father reveals it to him when they reunite years later. Archel didn't want to be a father, especially after his awful relationship with Kyin's mother. Kyin killing his father proved to be a very great day for his life and made his mark as the better pirate according to his more superior bounty.

### **Eon**

Kyin hated Eon back then. Nowadays, he thanks Eon for her help in finding his son. But after that, he never really saw her as a friend.

### **Dawn Dagger**

Dawn was Kyin's wife and he lived happily with her and they even had a son. But this would all changed when the nuclear explosion happened where Kyin would become a radiated mess and his son would go missing. Thankfully Dawn survived but unlike Kyin, she didn't look messed up from the explosion. After they finally find their son, it's revealed that the Dawn travelling with Kyin and the others is one of the grimdark androids. She was made by Xavier to spy on Kyin and the others but she still maintained her memories. This pretty much reveals that the real Dawn died from the explosion and was immediately replaced. That very explosion not only turned Kyin into a complete mess but it also was the cause of his wife's death and it mutated his son into a massive, constantly aging, beast.

### **The Grimdark Brotherhood**

Kyin likes the grimdark brotherhood a lot. Seeing them as family. He, of course, likes Frewil a lot due to being his loyal follower. The others are liked a decent amount. The only one he seems to bond with is Monkey AC130, since they are both associated with the Seakeepers. Plus Monkey AC130 is extremely loyal to him, as Kyin is his father.

### **Monkey AC130**

Kyin knew his son as a baby but he was taken away from him when the nuclear explosion happened. At first, Kyin didn't recognise his son and merely thought that he was helping him to dispose of Archel and inspire him to become the new leader of the Seakeepers. But after Monkey AC130 reveals that he is in fact his son who had their brain transplanted into this robotic gorilla body by Dare, Kyin knew he had to protect his son, even if he is not what he expected and is literally older than him now due to his rapid aging brain. Despite being his father, Monkey AC130 refers to him as "Boss" like everyone else.

### **Vivian Nimbus**

Vivian has a decent relationship with Kyin but their history goes way back. During the Bloodstained era, where he would go on a mission to find his son, he would get help from Eon and Vivian and learn that his son was the supposed threat of the Nobody's Sanctuary. As first Kyin was just a bother to Vivian, as he was obsessed with finding his son. But Vivian later found out that Kyin can be very violent and prideful. She is aware that he would rebel and possibly betray his friends and he kind of did when Kyin took control of the Nobody's Sanctuary, but his bond with Vivian and the others had a impact on his life. So instead of straight up killing them, he gave them a chance to just simply walk away but will make them his enemies after they leave. In reality, Kyin never wanted to do this but he finally reunited with his son and never looked back since. Showing that he cares about his family more than his friends.

### **Boomer Deblob**

Boomer is the navigator of the Seakeepers. Or not how Kyin views him most of the time. Most of the time, he tries several times to take Kyin's place as captain via excuses like him helping the Grimdark Brotherhood and like several others, Kyin sees that Boomer is the most pathetic person ever in Wowtopia because of how much of a joke he is. The only reason why Boomer stayed with the Seakeepers is because he can't find another job or home to be a part of merely due to how society views him. Like with Monkey AC130, Boomer is very loyal to Kyin when he is around, despite the constant insults and jokes given to him.

### **Dark Vivian**

Better known as Vee, Vivian's dark clone ended up joining the seakeepers. Unlike Boomer, she is loyal like Monkey AC130 but is mostly insane and uncontrollable. Despite this, she is the scout of the Seakeepers and continues to help them the best she can.

### **Teapot**

Like all mampires, Kyin has a massive hatred towards Teapot but that's only because she's a mampire. She would constantly remind Kyin that mampires aren't all that bad but he wouldn't listen to her due to his haunting memory of them killing his mother. He hopes to kill her and all other mampires one day.

## **Trivia**

* Kyin's first name comes from the Yin from Yin and Yang. Which tends to be the negative side, relating to him being evil. Combined with his father having some Chinese design choices by having his birthplace being in the East Asian themed Eastern Land of Harmony, it makes sense that Kyin would also have some of these influences too.
	+ His last name, Dagger, doesn't really come from anything. It was a last name that was recently discovered when Con Air looked for archived information for him. Due to his lack of a last name currently, Con adopted this last name.
* Like Mr Turtle & some others, Kyin was made as a costume in Little Big Planet. However, he was first drawn via Flipnote Studio on the Nintendo DSI where he would star in various Flipnotes Con Air made. Which nowadays are extremely cringeworthy. He was originally inspired by Con Air's love of Dragon Ball. He was originally a Saiyan according to several flipnotes depicting him ascending to various super saiyan forms. He had a scar on his right eye and his attire is mainly just a generic white coloured outfit with a cape. In other depictions (and by that, they mean Basshunter AMVs) and like with his recent design, he wore a black bandana. He also lacked his moustache. There are also several flipnotes depicting attacks for him. One of them being a obvious clone of the Spirit Bomb called “Spirit of the Sun”.
	+ Ironically enough, the last flipnote made of him was one of him turning over to the dark side in another AMV flipnote. Which depicts him with black eyes with red pupils. Which coincidentally, is very much what he is like nowadays in Wowlife
	+ In the same flipnote this image was found, Kyin’s parents were called “Shen” and “Ki”. In Wowlife, his parents are mentioned when Kyin talks about how Mampires killed them but his father is later named Archel instead and became a important figure to the Northern Land of Concept. But for his mother, she never gets mentioned by name. Guess this mother name is the unofficial name for her.
* His likes consist of:
	+ Cooked Steak
	+ Himself
	+ Treasure/Loot
	+ Sailing
	+ Stamping on his opponents
* His dislikes consist of:
	+ Mampires
	+ People who think they are better than him.
* Kyin is the first character of the Grimdark Brotherhood to start a trend with his normal render having a unique aesthetic where it shows the before and after process of his demonization. With his right being before and left being after. He shares this aesthetic with Evelyn (only it's with her ascended render instead), Vivian and Choconyx.
	+ The reason why Monkey AC130 and Mari don't have this aesthetic on their renders is because for Monkey AC130, not much is changed for him due to his eyes being made of glass and his fur already being pretty dark. For Mari, she always looked like what she is; even when ascended.
* Kyin's outfit is based on a unused character for Wowlife. Who was named "Cage". Kyin shares similarities to this unused character with Huella Pastel.
* The image file used to show a example of showing Kyin's Third Seakeeper Eye is called "Third **Earthkeeper** Eye" in the file name. This was because it was originally called this alongside the Seakeeper Burrow being called the "Earthkeeper Burrow".
* Having a crossbow is based on how vampire hunters commonly use them against vampires. Since Kyin has a hatred towards Mampires, it would make sense that he would use this.
* Kyin references his original render via his Grimdark Brotherhood render. It can be seen side-by-side on the Gallery section. With the only difference is that Kyin is flipping off instead of raising his fist.
* Being a radiated being with exposed muscle tissue, bloodshot eyes and missing a nose and a ear is based on Ghouls from Fallout. In fact, Kyin was made into a character in Con Air's two playthroughs of Fallout 4. Where, thanks to the power of a mod, he slowly became a ghoul the more radiation he gets.
* In previous concepts for Wowlife, Kako would go through a similar story to Kyin. Being a orphan who was abandoned by her nefarious father. Only for her to kill him when she grows up. Since Kako became a good character now, this idea for a backstory was adapted into Kyin's story.
* Kyin originally was a Necromancer. With the Seakeepers mostly being undead skeletons. This was changed due to necromancy being more involved with Huella than him. Plus it wouldn't make sense for his character.
* The "Goddess O' Victory" or just simply the "Goddess of Victory" is a name that both him and his father mention a lot. For one, it's the name of their pirate ship and it's also a nickname for the Dragon Goddess, Aqua. Who was known for being the goddess of water and was responsible for leading first seakeepers to victory after a huge kraken invaded the seas of the Northern Land of Concept, purifying the seas as a result and leading to the Liquid Depths to be created.
