What is your name?: Just so we're clear I'll answer these questions if and only if you duel me. Are we agreed? Alright lets get started. I'm Kiryu, Kyosuke Kiryu.
How old are you?: I'm 18
What do you look like?:
This is me after I woke up from death a second time. The others didn't seem to remember much, lucky them.
Where do you come from?: Satellite
What is your job?: Unemployed
What are the most obvious things about your personality?: A few years ago people probably would have said I was an ambitious and happy go-lucky duelist. Not that long ago people probably would have said I was crazed psychopath. But now I'm just, nobody... I'm calm, I'm depressive and I'm just looking for a good way to die. Still, I've got my pride as a duelist and there are still some things that can make me smile.
How would you honestly describe yourself?: I tried to do something horrible, I tried to murder my best friend over a mistake and I'm not sure I'll ever be able to forgive myself for that. I really have lost my will to live. Or at least that's what I thought but lately I've been learning things about myself. Whatever happens to me I can never let go of the duel, or maybe the duel won't let go of me, either way duelling is my life. I've changed a lot over my life but that's the one constant.
Like I said duelling for my life over and over again has also taught me something, (other than how I'm better at it than dying) that there's very little I'm afraid of any more. I've stopped caring about myself and that's made me very powerful, it means I can do whatever I want without limit or hesitation. Maybe I'm still crazy, maybe the Dark Signer is still inside me somewhere, but now I can stare into the face of death and laugh. I've also realised how manic I can be. It doesn't matter whether I'm fighting for the right reasons or the wrong reasons, if I think you deserve it I'll become your worst nightmare, a smiling shinigami come to drag you to Hell.
What you want me to keep talking? What more do you want to know? Alright, alright I'll get this last part over with. I may not be completely beyond saving. I just want to atone for my crimes and that's all, it's just that I have nothing and nobody left to live for. We've talked enough, let's put our lives on the line and duel, maybe you'll be the one to release me. What more questions? Haven't I talked enough yet?
What is your motivation?: To either die honourably after being fairly defeated in a duel or to find something else to live for. I thought I'd made that clear already.
List at least 4 things you like: An honourable duel, friends (at least when I still had any that I didn't try to kill), life or death stunts, my harmonica, Satellite, a decent challenge, the suspense of a good gamble.
List at least 4 things you hate: Cheaters who taint the duel, the security sector who had me die in prison, traitors and right now myself. This had better be the last question.
What are the most interesting/important things that have ever happened to you?: You're just trying to annoy me now aren't you? It all started when I formed Team Satisfaction which consisted of myself, Yusei, Crow and Jack. Together we conquered Satellite but that wasn't enough to satisfy me so I declared war on the Security Sector. I was arrested and because of a mistake I thought Yusei had sold me out. I was beaten, abused and starved in prison, without Satellite, my friends and my deck I'd lost everything I'd been living for. My will was broken and I was slowly dying. Just then the Earthbound God Ccapac Apu offered me undeath and a chance to have my last wish come true if just served him as a Dark Signer and fought Yusei with him in my deck. I agreed, making a deal with the underworld.
I came close to killing Yusei and I enjoyed every last minute of it, but despite everything I had become he still tried to save me and I came to realise that I'd lost myself. He defeated me and I died again, still I died happy and at least I got to apologise. After all my wish had come true, I'd gotten to live Team Satisfaction's last duel and settle everything I'd left behind in life. It was my perfect death, yet somehow I survived it. Now I really do have nothing and I just want to throw away the life that I ruined with my own actions, I'm thinking of going to Crash Town, that seems like a good place to start.
How do you like to Duel?: I like to duel recklessly, I'm extremely powerful on the offensive but I lack any serious defensive cards and leave a lot to chance. My current deck relies upon the Handless Combo, it means I have nothing left to lose and my Infernity cards become stronger because of it. Last question? Okay we're duelling now, draw your first five cards. Hey wait a minute, why are you running?
Chibi's Notes: To be honest I had a pretty tough time figuring out how I wanted to play Kiryu, after all he's had three drastic changes to his personality thought the series all of which had something worth playing. I admit my take on Kiryu as a character ended up cherry picking different aspects of the character from different versions of him. Since the RPG takes place after the Dark Signer arc but before the WRGP arc I figured I'd take the Kiryu from the start of the Crash Town mini-arc and try to inset a little of the untapped heroism he'd achieve by the end of it and a little of the glorious insanity he had during his run as a Dark Signer. I hope it shows...
