Red

# Overview

Red is an overseer of the Ransei region, the realm as a whole, and also the progenitor of The Redverse. He is the elder brother of Vermillion and the father to Crimson and Sangria. During the events of KnC 2, he was a warrior who fought under Yaksha's banner until they were overtaken by Pugilis. Following Yaksha's successful rebellion, Red once again fought under the Yakshan banner until the war was ended and all Ransei lands were returned to their respective owners. Following the end of the war, Red had retired and currently resides in the mountain range that borderd Yaksha and Cragspur, where he now has a training dojo that teaches the ways of Yakshan combat, both ancient and modern. He is also an avid businessman, creating and owning various dojos, restaurants and bars, unter the Redis Industries corporation, of which he is the CEO.

## Personality

Red is a very calm and reserved person. He doesn't necessarily speak much and speaks very quickly and concisely for the sake of brevity whenever he does. He struggles with the concept of emotion and doesn't exactly feel them, which causes him to get into a plethora of unfavorable situations. However, through the events of KnC 2 and maintaining a watchful eye over Crimson during the events of KnC: TC, he begins to understand what emotions are and even starts to feel a few of them. However, he is unware that these are emotions and brushes them off as novel sensations. He thinks through things very rationally and is able to quickly assess and react to situations before they even come to pass. However, this keen intuition and foresight comes with a key drawback in that he has a tendency to overlook the present and focus on the decisions to be made in the present to guide the future. This tendency combined with his disclosure of information solely on a "need to know basis" gets him into some strange situations, especially with Vermillion and Crimson.

He is a skilled tactician who can mask any general deficiencies present with timely movements and unconventional strategies. His predictive skills play an integral role in his tactics, as he frequently attempts to get into the head of his opponents and make them battle to the battle flow that he has set. He is seen to be highly flexible and adaptable to constantly changing situations. However, his tactical prowess is limited by the resources at his disposal. Should he fall too far behind in offensive capability, the best he will ever be able to is reach a hard-fought stalemate, and if the conditions are somewhat ideal, he could pull out a Phyrric victory and nothing more.

## Before KnC 2

The majority of Red's origins are unknown. However, all that is known is that he is a direct descendant of the enigmatic deity Redis, which can potentially serve as an explanation for why he possesses such powerful and mysterious abilities. Upon coming into being, he wandered around the universe for a bit, before finding Earth. During these wandering adventures, he eventually formed some form of relationship with two women, who then each became the mothers of Crimson and Sangria respectively. He also comes across a strange energy from another dimension, and he responds by creating Vermillion to go investigate the situation.

## KnC 2

Red eventually descends upon the Ransei region, and makes the kingdom of Yaksha his home. It is there where he meets up with Username and they become the warlords of Yaksha. He meets three pokemon in Yaksha, and these three become his first of many partners. Those three pokemon are a Zorua, a Stunky, and a Squirtle.

After a 7 month training journey in the Yakshan mountain ranges, battles began to break out across the region. The Viperian kingdom's warlords, Vaunt and Drew attempted to conquer Yaksha. Red was swiftly defeated by Vaunt. However, Username prevailed over the duo, thus ensuring Yaksha's safety. This one battle was enough for Red to understand that his lack of raw firepower could be his undoing.

After some time passed, Red and Username started their two-front assault to create a barrier seperating the region. In doing so, they managed to gain several kingdoms. They also bolstered their numbers in terms of both people and pokemon. Some notable allies that they gained were Vaunt, Drew, Pigeon Boi, Biata, and Orcus. With the key acquisitions of the kingdoms of Avia, Chrysalia, and Terrera, Red and Username formed a a barrier that separated the conflicts from the north from the conflicts from the south. One day, as Red was wandering in the forest that borders Yaksha and Viperia, he sensed a mystical presence. As he followed the presence, he met the legendary pokemon, Latias. It challenged Red to a battle and Red won. As a sign of respect and friendship, Latias offered to join Red's party and was promptly accepted into the Yakshan ranks.

As more time passed, Yaksha's offensive capabilities dwindled as Red's tactical skills quickly lost their effectiveness in masking his general offensive deficiencies. As the empires of Faylenne to the north and Pugilis to the south rose, this put Yaksha in a precarious situation, as they were at both a firepower and type disadvantage. Eventually, the Yakshan empire fell, and Red became a vassal of Pugilis. However, it was during his time as a Pugilis vassal, he met a pokemon he truly felt a powerful bond with. He met Goku the then Chimchar. It quickly grew and evolved into an Infernape under Red's tutelage and the two made for a powerful duo. During their journeys across the Pugilis owned lands, they acquired a peculiar stone. When they returned to Ignis, they found that the stone summoned the legendary pokemon Heatran. Red battled valiantly against the formidable foe, and emerged victorious. Heatran extended an olive branch out of respect and joined Red on his journey.

Eventually, Username led and singlehandedly won a Yakshan rebellion against Pugilis, which resulted in Yaksha's re-establishment as a nation. Red stayed in the background dealing chip damage wherever possible and running general interference. The Yakshan rebellion created a scenario where the war over Ransei would reach an eternal stalemate. Thus, Red and Username, as the warlords of Yaksha, reached a formal agreement with the warlords of Pugilis to end the war over Ransei, and to return all lands to their owners.

Following the ending the war, and by extension KnC 2, Red retired from his warrior duties and made his home in the Terrera-Yaksha-Cragspur mountain range. He focused on the many businesses he created using his influence as a warlord. He eventually founded and became CEO of Redis Industries, a company solely created to bring his many ventures under one banner. While all this is going on, he used his powers to be an overseer of the realm, seeing if there are any threats on the horizon. Through his experiences as a warrior and warlord, he grew fond of Earth, and now has actively become a guardian, though he will never refer to himself as such.

## Knc: TC

Following the events of KnC 2, Red took control of his son, Crimson, and used him as a vessel to investigate an island and its happenings. He quickly realized the battles to be had would be too intense for Red to maintain control of multiple physical bodies, and left Crimson to his own devices. He still used his link with Crimson to watch over the island, just in case he had no choice but to step in.

Immediately following the conclusion of the Moonman tournament and immediately prior to the advent of the Thug Finals, Red quickly took over Crimson in order to communicate the severity of the situation to Pigeon Boi and the Username of another timeline. He later left Crimson once more, but this time not without imparting all of his pertinent memories and knowlege, which Red acknowleded as an egregious oversight on his part the first time he took Crimson over.

## After KnC: TC

Red is paid a visit by Crimson, who wishes to know his true origins and who he truly is. Red responds to his request after the two partake in the battle, with Red emerging victorious by a comfortable margin. Red tells Crimson that he is Red's son and that he is nigh immortal. Red then requests Crimson to investigate the various anomalies occuring across countless realms and universes.

Following the sensing of a dangerous energy by the Username of another timeline, he, Crimson, Pigeon Boi, and Vermillion are all teleported to Yaksha castle by Red to discuss and assess the situation at hand. Username then proceeds to explain his origins and what the energy is.

# Notable Allies

Username: Was the warlord of Yaksha alongside Red. The two quickly formed a strong friendship, and worked well together. Red would take care of the strategic side of things and tended to take charge in tactical meetings. Username led the way during battles and was the frontline driving force. Despite their specializations in different things, the two would communicate with each other heavily and advise each other as to how to proceed with a specific course of action. The two made for a very strong team, which was one of the reasons why they emerged as co-winners of KnC 2.

Pigeon Boi: These two formed a partnership while Avia was one of Yaksha's vassals. They had a mutual respect for each other and would frequently spar with each other. With the events that occured at the end of TC, Red asked Pigeon to investigate the matters surrounding the major surges of energy around the realm and the seemingly random appearances and dissapearances of other people. They are both members of the Space Crusaders.

Vermillion: Red assigned Vermillion with the duty of investigating the overall realm where the Ransei region of KnPCP existed. He also asked Vermillion to infiltrate Link Joker and relay any important information to him, so he could prepare a counteroffensive in the event of a Link Joker attack on the main realm. Vermillion served as a link between realms and a powerful source of information for Red.

Crimson: Red originally took over Crimson and wanted to use his body as a vessel to investigate the island and the presence of Link Joker. After realizing that controlling multiple bodies was too stressful on him to properly maintain his physical state. He later let Crimson act independently of his control and let him go through the events of TC as himself. He kept a watchful eye on the island, however. He used his link with Crimson to observe the happenings and changes on the island. Though he will never directly admit this to Crimson, Red's oversight of the island was also his way of being a caring father and being present in some way in Crimson's life. Upon properly meeting each other for the first time in Yaksha, the two discussed the current happenings and now Crimson is assisting Red in investigating the bizarre happenings of the realm.
