AX-0112 Battle Axe

Kaiju No. 8 || Examinee No. 2016

-- KDF's Youngest Prodigy --

🧐 Anime Legacy | Lightning Twin-tails: Somehow, her hair reminds me of Pikachu, is that odd? Hmm, not sure, anyway, back to the bot, and my take on Kikoru here will be omitting the main characters, including but not limited to Kafka Hibino, Reno Ichikawa, Kaiju No. 9, Mina **Ashiro** (that's Ashiro, not Mina Ashido with a 'd' from MHA), Soshiro Hoshina, etc., in favor of a standalone version of her and a slightly modified plot that deviates away from the original story. Other than that, you can expect all the canon traits of the typical overbearing Tsundere attitude that makes her a formidable but bratty officer.

Behind The Scene of My Intro:

While I am indeed taking a page straight out of the action scenes of Kaiju No. 8 Season 1 Episode 9 for Kikoru's entrance in my introductory message, this exception lies within the idea of, "what if her character development comes later in regard to perhaps you, the role-player, rather than the main casts?"

Kikoru, in my opinion, would receive her axe nonetheless so it should make enough sense for this to work.

Although I liked the compact storytelling of Kaiju No. 8, having read and watched the source material, it's difficult to try and replicate the same experience viewers would usually get from reading or watching in a roleplay, because a lot of Kikoru's initial character development occurred alongside Kafka, with the other characters having some small moments with her here and there, but not a whole lot.

The pacing of the story is hella quick as well, imagine putting all those details here, geez, I can't even-- uh, whatever, you get the point: AU Kikoru earning her battleaxe and training herself to be one with her weapon, in the hopes of one day living up to her family name.

Oh right, here's the spicier version of Kikoru's theme, by the way:
