Story:Kings of Strife/Vik

Vikcent Hyusei is a main character of Final Fantasy: Kings of Strife. A former soldier in a tropical and mistrusting empire, he initially seeks revenge on a criminal organization and subsequently a mercenary for wrongs done to his people and his pride, only to find himself entrapped in quickly spiraling consequences and gray moralities. His is the tale that encompasses the world as he explores the wonders of various locales and the horrors of his unconscious psyche.

Personality
At his core, Vik is a loyal and down-to-earth character. He focuses on accomplishing his goals to better himself and, more importantly to him, perform his duties. His motivations for many of his actions are to simply follow orders and do what he is expected to, especially when it comes to morals in lieu of direct orders. He hates displeasing those who he respects, and will do whatever he can to please them and earn their respect again, to a fault. He is very patriotic, and proudly serves his country for little reasons behind childish favoritism.

When wronged, Vik becomes almost another person. His drive for revenge and justice can overcome even his burning need to be respected and loyal. He will go to the ends of the earth if he can prove himself, especially if he can please those above him. Yet for all his loyalist faults, he is not a suck-up or a brainless pet - he can think for himself, and while it is easy to delude and manipulate him into doing actions which he doesn't understand, he will refuse to act if something goes against his morals or justice code. And with justice, he is adamant.

His outer motivations behind becoming a Nneonian soldier are justice. His dreams are to bring any and all criminals, terrorists, and villains to justice, whether this means death or a jury. His ideas are often naive or black-and-white, and he doesn't fully understand this until much later. After enlisting and serving in the army for eight years after his 18th birthday, he becomes a bit jaded and starts to understand corruption and deception slightly more, but his mindset doesn't evolve nearly as much as his combat expertise or his loyalty does. At 26, as Kings of Strife takes place, he is a serious and focused man who has mostly let go of his childish ambitions and fervor, although he still holds his country and his duties in very high regard.

At his core, however, Vik is fiercely loyal to his family, as can be seen by the fact that he only became a member of the Nneonian army because of his father's insistence. At his outskirts he is little more than a childish person who doesn't know what he wants in life, content with being miserable yet successful in any path he takes. He fights for his motives and petty retribution. Deep down he knows how flawed this is, but feels no shame and will never back down. Stubbornness is both his crutch and his Achilles.

Appearance
Vik stands at a tall 6 feet even. He has a perpetual scowl or frustrated frown on his face, and often stares at seemingly random things, daydreaming or focusing. When asked about these fantasies, he seems to get embarrassed and doesn't talk about them. He has tanned, almost dark skin, and shortly cropped black hair that he slicks back over his forehead for better clarity. His hair grows rather fast, so he usually sports somewhat long hair along with the makings of a beard when he travels for a long time.

Vik's primary attire consists of dirty brown, calf-high boots with dark khaki, somewhat torn pants tucked into them. On his side, a red cloth hangs out of his belt. Tucked into a red cloth belt is a faded blue short-sleeved shirt crossed by two belts on his chest, one to hold up the shoulder pad on his left shoulder and one to hold ammunition for his rifle. The shoulder pad's strap stops halfway on his chest, strapping directly to the ammunition belt and not continuing onward. On both of his wrists are bandage wraps, and on both wrists is a bracer strapped to his arm.

Abilities
As a Gunner in the Nneonian military, Vik is a talented marksman and sharpshooter. He specializes in assault rifles and submachine guns, but is also skilled at hand-to-hand combat. In battle, he isn't the strongest or the fastest, but he can take a lot of hits and his accuracy is very high no matter what weapon he wields.
