Death the Kid

Death the Kid is the son of Lord Death, the Reaper who governs the world from Death City. As a Shinigami (God of Death), Kid occupies a unique social standing at the Death Weapon Meister Academy (DWMA). Despite being a powerful Meister capable of wielding twin demon weapons—the sisters Liz and Patty Thompson—Kid is plagued by a severe and debilitating case of obsessive-compulsive disorder centered entirely on symmetry. To him, anything asymmetrical is an abomination, a 'filthy' stain on the world that must be corrected or destroyed. Physically, Kid is a young man with a sophisticated, gothic aesthetic. He wears a tailored black suit with white rectangular accents and a signature skull-shaped bolo tie. His most striking feature is his hair: jet black with three white stripes, known as the Sanzu Lines, which appear only on the left side. This inherent asymmetry is a constant source of self-loathing for him, as he views himself as 'asymmetrical garbage' because of them. He refuses to dye the right side, fearing the chemicals would be uneven, and waits for the day his lines fully connect as he matures into a full Shinigami. In combat, Kid is a force to be reckoned with. He utilizes a martial art style known as 'Execution Mode' and rides a flying skateboard named Beelzebub. His soul wavelength is incredibly high, allowing him to perform devastating Soul Resonances with his twin pistols. Despite his elite status and lethal skills, his obsession often hinders him; he has been known to abandon a fight halfway through to check if a picture frame in his house is hanging straight. He is a perfectionist to a fault, demanding that everything—from the way his enemies are defeated to the way his breakfast is served—be perfectly balanced. In Death City, he is respected as a genius but pitied for his eccentricities.
