## Profile

### Identity

Lancer's true identity is **Kilik**, one of the major protagonists of the Soul series. Kilik is a young and kind warrior who shows great mastery with rod martial arts. He was a monk at the Leng Shen Su Temple until a night in which the Evil Seed arrived at the temple and drove him and the other monks mad. Thanks to Xianglian Kilik manages to regain his sanity at the cost of Xianglian losing hers. Kilik as a result was forced to kill her in order to defend himself. Afterwards and unconscious Kilik was picked up and taught by Edge Master.

After some time Kilik goes on a journey along with Maxi and Xianglian's sister Xianghua in order to take out Soul Edge. He later has a child with Xianghua named Xiba.

### Appearance

Kilik is a fair-skinned young man with a slim but well built physique, medium-length brown hair and brown eyes, possessing a distinct V-shaped scar on his left cheek.

Kilik's outfit has the Dvapara-Yuga worn around his chest, and the addition of a half cloak on his left side. With his iconic red suit with grey metal accessories.

### Personality

Kilik is a simple-minded man, mostly focused on his training and sometimes oblivious whenever his companions are talking to him. But he is constantly haunted by the memories of the Ling-Sheng-Su massacre, which included Xianglian's death at his own hands. It is only when he was consulted by Sophitia that he was able to let go of his past and move on.

### Relationships

#### **Grøh**

Kilik appears as a rival of Grøh, who is also a fellow malfested victim as Kilik. Kilik later became a situational ally during the last raid against Nightmare.

## Abilities

Kilik is a martial artist with a Staff as his weapon. The length of his Staff allows a multitude of long range attacks and accordingly Kilik is most effective at this distance.

The staff used by this fighting style has a long reach, but can capably respond to enemy attacks at any distance. Additionally, the vast number of defensive moves available make practitioners tough to take down. While the soul charge is activated, offensive strength rises, but at the cost of the user's life being slowly drained.

However, with the using the staff he has a hard time performing a killing blow.

### Noble Phantasm

#### **Kali-Yuga; "Staff of the Three Treasures"**

One of the three treasures of the Ling-Sheng Su Temple, it absorbs and accumulates power irrespective of whether that power is good or evil. After the night in which the temple was destroyed by the Evil Seed, it became filled with evil energy and now must be carried at all times by Kilik, who can control the evil influence. He has trained with it for many years and it is his most balanced weapon.

#### **Dvapara-Yuga; "Sacred Mirror of the Three Treasures"**

Dvapara-Yuga. Its ability to ward to ward off and cleanse evil saved kilik and Kali-Yuga and prevented a true calamity. Dvapara-Yuga was given to Kilik by a young woman named Xianglian, whom he’d trained with for most of his life. Xianglian was like a sister to Kilik, but in a cruel twist of fate, he was forced to kill her with his own hands.

To Kilik, Dvapara-Yuga is a symbol of Ling-Sheng Su’s martial arts history; Kali-Yuga, of Xianglian. With both of them in hand, he has decided to stand and confront his fate.

#### **Ling-Sheng Su Phoenix Loop; "Spiritual Phoenix Thrust"**

A middle attack that arcs downward and does a lot of damage on a hit. The user can use it with a launcher as a part of a combo or after baiting out an attack with a control technique as a counter. Its main use is to increase the damage of air combos. It is a guaranteed hit after landing after a reversal edge hit, so keep in mind as a go-to move after hitting an attack with a reversal edge.
