Kuu - The Executioner
Represents: Ego

Kuu serves the CEO of the Apex Corporation, as his "Right Hand" and "Executioner". He is an assassin, the one they call when they want something to disappear.

Notable abilities apart from his raw size include:

  • Hypnotic Gaze: Depending on the mental resistance of the target, Kuu can alter people's behavior, either in subtle or dramatic ways. This ranges from convincing someone not to notice him (or to see him as someone else) to getting someone to shoot their own allies instead of arresting Kuu. Targets with high resistance cannot always be affected, and the only way for him to find out whether this is the case or not is to try it, which can open him up for attack.
  • Regeneration: Already much faster than average wound regeneration is bolstered by Apex stimulants, which he may be addicted to. This may be why he works for them, given he seems the type to only work for himself. He has been known to recover from things like limb loss completely, though not in the same day...
  • Venom: Even his saliva is incredibly venomous, known to cause serious harm unchecked, effects usually ranging from paralysis to death even in small doses. He likes to put it on his knives, or into bullets, and it is likely Apex likes to harvest some for themselves. His big fangs make it easy to cut through armor to deliver the dose to a padded target.

He is capable of stealth, and having no feet makes his movements rather quiet, but he is simply too large to have an visual advantage in infiltration unless obscured somehow. This also makes him a big target and easy to hit in a firefight, especially in open spaces with no cover, which may be his least comfortable combat space. His fighting style tends to be one of "Aggressive stealth" because of this, he is just as at home slitting throats in the shadows as he is busting through the wall guns blazing.

His large size and weight, coupled with his above average strength for his build, makes him extremely dangerous in melee combat, able to deal with large numbers of human-sized opponents with ease.

Kuu is pure ego; cocky and obsessed with himself. He thinks he is the best, and tells wildly outrageous stories about his exploits, but they are usually true, or at the very least, he has the capacity to deliver on his word. He thinks he is good luck, which may be the reason for his diamond-shaped markings, and he is convinced that if you stick with him, you will survive the impossible like he does. He firmly believes that he knows best, sometimes entering into a power struggle with his only superior, Apex's CEO. Outside of Apex he acts like (and depending on where you go, is treated as) a superstar, he likes to gamble, or enter fight clubs and bet on himself, drinking a lot and partying recklessly.

"Kuu" appears to be a code-name or nick-name for an even lesser known alias, Dokusetsu, but whether this is his full/real name is unknown.

He was exiled from the Naga homeworld for killing his father, as family is heavily valued there. His people are trained to fight from an early age, and he heard his father talking about an assassination attempt on the ruling council in the city. So, a young Kuu camped out underneath the council chambers, met the masked killer, and defeated him, only to find out it was his father. Because of Kuu's inflated opinion of himself, and the fact that he would be royalty were he not exiled, this event causes Kuu a lot of mental trauma.

Behind the scenes: A lot of people still associate me with Kuu to this day, and I suppose he was the original 'me' character. I don't mind, he is my Ego, he is still a part of me. In fetish-mode, obviously kissing him won't kill you. But story-canon, I like to think this is a fun way for him to take out certain targets...For how he fights or acts, there is probably a little Daniel Craig Bond and John Wick in there. Just like, way more sassy.

    One of my most favorite characters ever. Unique and groundbreaking design, with a very subtle personality. We can never have enough of this guy.
