THE CHARACTER;
Series/Fandom: Wild ARMs 4
Character's Name: Kresnik Ahtreide
Character's Sex: Male
Character's Age: 24
Canon point: After the battle with Cyanoides.
Abilities:
Kresnik has nanomachines in his body due to his ARM, and it’s most likely that they self-replicate to some small degree. He carries a dagger around, but Kresnik only uses it as a last resort. His physical strength is above average, since he was able to knock back a rather large robot walker with his bare fist.
Magic-wise, Kresnik has a healing skill and a support ability that increases his or an ally’s speed and magical/physical defense. He also has a Force Ability known as Lock-On that allows him to hit a target with 100% accuracy and 25% more damage.
Kresnik’s ARM, which stands for Ambient Reorganization Material, is also known as Howling Spike and is the prototype of all the other ARMs. He can form it from ‘thin air’ because it is made of nanomachines.. His ARM is known for its Apoptosis ability and acts like a normal gun, except with unlimited ammo (He still needs to reload though).
Strengths:
Since his ARM is made up of nanomachines, Kresnik doesn’t need to buy ammunition for it. He technically never needs to worry about reloading in a traditional sense, as he can reload in just a couple of seconds (how this works is never quite explained, but basically the characters with ARMs just needs to concentrate for a moment for it to reload). Kresnik is also highly skilled with his ARM, being a really good shot with his Lock On ability. With the ARM being stored in his body, he can be good in stealth and surprise attacks.
Besides being physically strong, Kresnik is usually a rational individual, being able to make decisions without having his emotions overtake him.
Weaknesses:
Kresnik’s ARM works as a double-edge sword for him. Unless he has his LiNKER drug (which he won’t at this point in his canon), all of his genes are painfully rewritten every single time he forms it. Another side effect is that the ARM continues to devour his body, though he never mutates in the game. The reason why this happens is because his ARM is not compatible with his body. Kresnik can easily tire after using his ARM for a long period of time.
He still has normal human weaknesses, a shot to the head or a large injury against any important organs will probably kill him. His healing skill also comes with limitations, as he’s not able to heal people who don’t have enough energy.
Background: Wiki link
Appearance: Image
Personality:
Typically, Kresnik is a serious and calm commander who takes his duty as an officer very critically. He always follows orders, no matter what the cost, in order to preserve a future for his world. As a soldier, he rarely lets his emotions influence his decisions, making him seem rather detached and almost cold most of the time. In fact, a couple of his fellow officers even say that he takes everything way too seriously.
He’s generally respectful to strangers, though he is a bit distant when addressing people, usually keeping his interactions short. That’s not to say that he doesn’t care about others. When someone needs assistance, Kresnik is usually willing to offer his help, which stems from his desire to protect others.
His organization, Brionac, is an elite group of soldiers who are dedicated in bringing democracy to the wasteland known as Filgaia. Believing in that ideal, Kresnik is willing to lay down his life for that cause. He is known to be the most honorable, but no-nonsense officer of the entire organization. In fact, he is called the “lance” that reinforces Brionac’s and Captain Lambda’s ideas and someone who rarely lets his guard down. Kresnik can be incredibly stubborn and it is difficult for someone to change his mind. However, he is rather willing to work with people, even if he dislikes them, if it increases the chance of success. Quite often, he is grateful for any help when he requests it. This is shown when he thanks Jude and the others for their help when trying to rescue his sister.
Since he lost his parents, Yulie is his only remaining family left. She is his motivation in striving forward through all the hardships he went through as an experimental subject and as a soldier. His younger sister is the main reason why he wants to better Filgaia, because he wants to ensure a future for her. Because of this, she is also one of his main weaknesses. He will do anything to make sure she is safe, even if it means going against his military organization or losing everything. Kresnik’s emotions tend to get the better of him when his sister is involved, causing him to have outbursts and be irrational. In one instance, he yelled at his captain when Yulie’s safety was in danger.
Despite being experimented on when he was rather young, it is not the experiments and pain that cause him to be depressed, but the fact that he is a defective gene driver (someone that can use ARMs) and must use drugs in order to use his ARM without experiencing any pain. Kresnik is angry at himself for not being able to use it effectively. This causes him to be jealous of Jude Maverick, a natural born and perfect gene driver. Regardless, he wants to keep the promise that he made to Yulie in the orphanage: protecting her and everyone in Filgaia. Without a conviction for him to fight for, Kresnik stops believing in himself and tends to just remember his time at the orphanage, a place where he was helpless and unable to stop the scientists from experimenting on his sister.
Even though Kresnik later realizes that Yulie is strong, he still wants to protect her whenever possible. He can trust Yulie to walk her own path now, but his conviction still remains the same. This shows that he has some level of dependence on her, despite trying to be the strong older brother. Either that, or he is just overprotective and worries too much.
Kresnik claims that he uses his ARM to protect those who cannot use one. Despite his conviction to use his ARM to protect others, he cannot shake the thought that he is still a defect, calling himself one even at a late point in the game. He constantly compares himself to Jude, who doesn’t even tire even after using his ARM for long periods of time. As he watches Jude wield his ARM with great expertise, he begins to doubt his own abilities again while he endures the Resistance Impulse (which is a backlash that all incompatible ARM wielders feel). He’s uncertain if he can really “leap into the future” and make a big change, since Jude has done so many things that he couldn’t do, despite the boy only being 13 years old. His pride was hurt when he initially lost a fight to him, especially since Jude has only wielded his ARM for a month or so while Kresnik has trained for years with his.
Whether it’s because he is young for a commander or considered to be the guinea pig of the Congressional Knights, some soldiers do not take him seriously and dislike him greatly, as seen by the soldier Tony. Though it’s not stated in the canon, many soldiers most likely compare him to Hauser Blackwell, the hero of the Global Union and the first Gene Driver. Hauser was a very powerful soldier, as he eliminated an entire military in one night, and Kresnik’s ability with his prototype ARM is not even close to his. Balgaine, who is also a Brionac officer, said “Finally, an ARM-wielding warrior has appeared” when referring to Jude, even though Kresnik could technically use one. Furthermore, Brionac in general is not highly regarded by some soldiers and citizens. They’re looked upon as a group of weirdos that banded together because of their unusual abilities that surpass the power of an average human.
Speaking of Brionac, even though Kresnik betrayed that organization, there are moments that reveal that he’s still proud of it. He even reported his own betrayal to his captain, wanting to be punished for his disobedience and treason. Later on, in a self-motivation speech, he refers to himself as the Pale Rider and the Lance of Brionac and continues to wear his uniform afterward.
Generally, Kresnik has a difficult time trusting others. Whether it’s because of his past or the fact that he doesn’t want to appear weak in front of the other soldiers, it takes him a while to trust someone. Even when around others he trusts, the soldier still keeps many things to himself, with the only exception being Yulie. Due to this lack of trust, getting to personally know people is not high on his priority list. Yes, he will save people and help those that are injured, but he won’t go out of his way to know about their dreams or hobbies.
Kresnik prefers being honest with his answers, though he may make a few exceptions depending on the person, usually if they’re young girls. Because of his sister complex, he is generally friendlier to them. Despite his honestly with his answers, he doesn’t go out of his way to insult people either, usually keeping those thoughts to himself. Around Lieutenant Jeremy, he only chides the officer for disobeying orders and doesn’t directly insult him. Although he won’t insult others, Kresnik isn’t above cutting people off, which is shown when Arnaud started to describe his infiltration plan and the soldier interrupted his sentence by suggesting his own idea.
Overall, behind his seriousness and sometimes anti-social behavior, Kresnik is a doubtful man who is unsure about his own usefulness to others, since he feels that he cannot fully protect Yulie. He has low self-esteem, due to being called a defect in the orphanage and having his captain call everyone in Brionac “tools” to be used for Filgaia’s future. However, he truly wants Filgaia to become better, even though he might not be able to see it happen. In that instance, Kresnik can be very selfless.
SAMPLES;
Action/Journal Sample:
[Despite its odd-shape, Kresnik turns on the communicator after a few moments. He has no idea where he’s at, so he’s using this device to gather information will probably be helpful. Maybe Yulie… or even Jude will answer him back.]
I’m Commander Kresnik of the Congressional Knights. I’ve recently arrived in this place known as Traverse Town, but I have no recollection about getting here. I request all information regarding my arrival and where this Traverse Town is located in relation to Filgaia. [Because he definitely hasn’t heard of this place before.] If you’re affiliated with the Congressional Knights, contact me immediately.
[He pauses as he looks around the town for a moment.] There is no time to waste… there’s something important that I must return to. Being here is a deviation from that goal.
RP Sample:
When Kresnik learned that his world had become swallowed by darkness, he almost didn’t believe it. It sounded like something out of a book. It was something that he never would have imagined. But once he got past his initial doubt, Kresnik had become numb for a few hours. His world… Yulie, was gone. It was the only answer that made sense. She wasn’t here with him and she never answered him on the communicator...
Unless there was some world out there that these communicators couldn’t reach, but in that case, she was most likely alone. Or maybe Jude was with her… and at this point, Kresnik wanted him to protect his sister from Heartless and other creatures out there. However, that was just one scenario, and it can’t be confirmed.
The only reason why he snapped out of his numbness was when he learned that his world could still be restored, that a world can be saved from the darkness, whatever that meant. If even if there was a small chance to save his sister, he wanted to take it. As a brother, he can’t let Yulie down and give up, not just yet. Additionally, Kresnik wanted Filgaia to become safe again; it was his whole reason for joining Brionac in the first place. And although the situation had become a little complicated with his organization, he still had his pride as an officer.
