World/History Basics: King T comes from a currently unnamed world where everything is inexplicably video game-like, somewhat similar to the Scott Pilgrim series. As a result, he and the rest of the world operate on video game logic and mechanics. Different parts of this universe also take after different genres of games, for example the kingdom of Arcane is very much like a high fantasy (MMO)RPG such as Final Fantasy or World of Warcraft, there are space marines stationed on other planets whose missions bring to mind sci-fi shooters like Halo or Metroid, and EZ City, where T lives currently, is similar to an open-world action game like Saints Row or Grand Theft Auto.
The well-known god of this world is a robot called Gea, the Holy Mechanism. They are the patron deity to the Church of the Divine Machine, whose chapels can be found all over as places of healing for heroes and safe havens from monsters and other creatures of darkness. Gea Themselves are rarely seen, but They are known to appear in times of crisis. They are a kind, benevolent, genderless being who embodies purity and innocence.
About 30 years ago, an event occurred known as Polybius, which nearly destroyed the entire world. A cult named the Disciples of Polybius, which was disturbingly revealed to consist of many of the world's leaders and richest, most powerful and influential individuals, attempted to perform a forbidden sacrificial ritual which, if successful, would supposedly give rise to an entity capable of reshaping reality as they wished. The result was almost an unspeakable calamity, but Gea, along with a number of heroes from many lands, were put a stop to it before it hand the chance to tear the whole universe asunder.
As for King T himself, his past is a mystery. Several years ago, he appeared in EZ City, a beach-side metropolis filled with hedonistic citizens and apathetic law enforcement. No one knew his name, where he came from, or why he was there, but in almost no time he proved himself the greatest (semi-illegal) street car racer in the entire city. He gained charge of the street racing circuit, and became known as "King T" - the King of the Streets. His real name is still unknown today. Among his racing crew, T's closest friends are his bodyguard Rudolfo "Pen" Pensworth, and race queen/auto mechanic/runaway princess (it's a long story) Valerie Victoria Venus Vivian Valentine, or "Val" for short.
Personality Basics: Egotistic, competitive, bossy, short-tempered, impatient, feisty, loud, brash, and often sarcastic and snarky, T always speaks his mind and can be an obnoxious jerk, but he's not what you'd call a bad person and it tends to be hard to truly hate the guy, despite his abrasiveness. He's surprisingly reliable, forgiving and trustworthy, never holding grudges and always keeping his word. He's an extremely talented racer and driver, knowledgeable about racing and cars, and the most relentlessly determined guy you'll ever meet, believing strongly in second chances.
However he's incredibly embarrassed by his infamous addiction to sugar and sweets (that's usually a lollipop in his mouth), and his heart typically rules before his head. Although he will go out of his way to help people, he tends to expect something in return. He's not very physically imposing and a lot of people don't take him very seriously until he proves himself, which annoys him considerably. As sort of a casanova he's easily influenced by women and sometimes puts too much priority on impressing girls. Sensitive when asked about his past, he'll most likely refuse to talk about it, especially if it involves his family.
For some reason he seems physically incapable of swearing, resulting in his frequent use of interesting euphemisms, along with a lot of 1980s lingo/slang and car/racing/video game-based phrases, such as "Grody to the max," "Barf me out," "Gag me with a spoon," "Holy hot rods," "Sweet speed bumps," "Mother of Pong" and "Son of a glitch"
Appearance:
Abilities:
Because T's universe functions on video game mechanics and logic, so does he. This gives him an "inventory" where he's able to carry items, both in number and size, that would otherwise be physically impossible to keep in his jacket pockets. When he fights a monster, or anyone else for that matter, it's common for HP bars to appear, attacks to have combo meters, and the enemy to drop money or other items upon defeat. T mainly uses guns in battle, so ammunition and medkits with instant-healing effects may also appear out of nowhere.
As mentioned he's an exceptionally skilled driver and racer with incredible reflexes, along with a keen sense of intuition and direction. T is quick, agile, and a great shot, even when wielding larger weapons. As far as hand-to-hand combat goes he's decent, although he fights very improvisationally and it's much easier to take him down while he's unarmed. He has very strong hearing and eye sight, and can see in the dark; in fact, his eyes actually glow in the dark. He attributes these traits to being a literal speed demon, although no one had ever heard of an actual speed demon before T. He seems to be the only one of his kind.
Finally, there's his unique and extremely powerful "▒▒▒▒ Overdrive" ability, which when triggered by ░░░▒▒▒01000101 01010010 01010010 01001111 01010010▒▒▒░░▒▓▓ causes ▒▒▒▒▓▓▓▒▒▒01000100 01000001 01010100 01000001▓▓▓░░░░▒▒▒▓01000011 01001111 01010010 01010010 01010101 01010000 01010100▓▓▓▒▒▒░░▒▒▒▒▒▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓
