Kai

Kai is a character created by the user, Yo!Army. He was created October 25th, 2021.

## Overview

Kai is an exe that has a different perspective on the environment that he is living in, instead of killing and urge for power, he only craves for one thing; “Friends”. Kai’s appearance is almost the same as classic Sonic, yet the color of his quills is distinguishable from the original. He also has void-like tears that come out of his eyes which are his blood and tears at the same time, yet it doesn’t symbolize anything. It just comes out naturally. Kai is usually seen as a calm, friendly exe by everyone and he rarely shows aggressiveness, except if someone “cheats” in his games or just plays unfairly in any other kind of games that he is playing with another person. Since he thinks people who do these actions are cruel and disgraceful. He is fully aware that he is not a normal creature (an exe) but he wants to live like a normal person. He doesn’t judge anyone in their physical looks and tends to make friends with almost anybody.

## Biography

Kai was once a small, yet powerful, energy that used to roam “The Void”  as his energy was accidentally merged with a strange one.  He was then brought to life as an actual living creature, yet he was still shapeless, looking like a white smoke that floats around. As years passed by, he kept roaming around the void endlessly as he grew curious about the place. As he kept doing so, he glanced at something glowing from the distance, he doesn’t know what it was yet he still tried to approach the source of the light. The curious creature scanned the glowing monitor at first and tried to consume it, thinking that its an energy that he can merge with, but before he could do that, he accidentally pressed a button from the monitor. The television made a loud sound which made him back out instantly, he tried to figure out what was happening to the screen when suddenly a blue hedgehog appeared from the screen. The shapeless entity was curious about who or what just appeared from the stray device; he just stared at the screen for hours as he studied and tried to figure out what is happening on the television. He was then fascinated with the person on his screen, he didn’t stop looking at the screen ever since he discovered the television. He even tried copying what the blue creature does on the screen; even his form. As he did so, the process was slow and painful at first, then as he completely form his own body, white fluid suddenly came out of his eyes. He tried wiping it off but it just kept coming out; eventually, he decided to leave it alone and got used to this condition. He then continued his “monitoring” with the television and kept watching the blue hedgehog’s actions as he interacted with his pals. The little creature suddenly felt something inside of him. He then realized that besides him, there is no one else in the void. He never cared about it ever since he was a shapeless entity until now. He then suddenly felt lonely, even he tried to cope with the bright monitor, he still felt lonely. Then an idea came up to him, at he tried the idea of opening a portal of some kind that he took inspiration from the phantom ruby’s abilities. At first, it failed, and he kept trying with failed attempts on opening one. He still didn’t give up even he was still in the void for decades. After his hard work, he manages to make his way out of his birthplace by accident. And in the present, he is roaming freely in different dimensions and universes.

## Abilities/Weakness

### Abilities

Kai can create objects or anything from his imagination, though he only somehow mastered 20% of it. Despite his demeanor, he only snaps when/if someone cheats from his games, even just in simple ones. He only takes consideration or exemption if the one who cheated is a person that he likes or he has enough sympathy for them. He can also open portals from different dimensions and universes. Levitating is not necessary, but he can float if he wants to. Finally, he can manipulate the reality of others, though he rarely does this.

### Weaknesses

He is afraid of losing a close friend that he has, meaning that Kai is scared of losing someone that he trusts the most or a person that he likes. Kai also quickly becomes uneasy or upset with things that he finds uncomfortable for him (Ex: playing unfair, not paying attention, repetitive actions, mean actions). Even though Kai has a living hatred for cheaters and liars, he lacks knowledge about strangers. He easily believes almost everything and thinks that whatever he hears it’s true.

## Trivia

* Kai’s name was originated from the word “Kaibigan” which means “friend” or “loved one” in tagalog.
* He was originally intended to be named “Monami” (Mon Ami in original). Which means “my friend” in french. It is a coincidence that the name is similar to a candy brand with the same name. Then, later on, the idea was scrapped on naming him Monami and decided to create a name from the word kaibigan. He was even intended to be named as the word itself. (other prototype names: Bigan, K.B.N.)
* Kai has a childish mindset at times, making people think that he is a kid since he is quite small and has a childish voice. Even though he was stuck in the void for decades.
* He has an Alternate version named “TK” or “Tall Kai” for short. This version of Kai was inspired by a friend’s suggestion of making a different form of him, but then he was considered as a non-canon version of Kai. TK is egoistic and more malice than Kai, which makes them different besides their height. He is also wiser than his smaller self and he has a foul mouth. TK acts more of his age and tends to hurt someone in his will.
* There was a silly head-canon in a podcast of codetrillogy from the Sonic PC Port server that Kai is terrified of the water because his expression on the drawing was blank, and there is a tidal wave that is about to hit them. It was then considered canon afterward.
* He gets a little too clingy or obsessed with someone that he likes the most.
* Kai’s color palette was inspired by a friend’s signature coloring.
* Kai can speak his creator’s native language (Tagalog).
* He only has four fingers so he can’t flip the bird finger. While TK has all five fingers, allowing him to do it.
* Kai is demiromantic asexual.
