Final Fantasy Type-0 Character

King is a playable character in Final Fantasy Type-0. He represents the number 13 of Class Zero and wields a pair of handguns.

Appearance and PersonalityEdit

King is a young man with long blond hair. He wears the standard uniform of Class Zero, but his jacket is noticeably shorter. Although he appears cold, he is actually a person with a kind heart. Apparently, he trains every day.

He possesses a serious demeanor and strong common sense, as seen in the demo when he questions Byakko's thoughtlessness after they accept Cid Aulstyne as their new leader when their emperor disappears without objection.

StoryEdit

King is a young man who is a member of Class Zero, a group of students from the Peristylium Suzaku, the Magic Academy of the nation of Rubrum, that fight the invasion of Rubrum by the Milites Empire. As part of the resistance operation "Operation Apostle", he and his comrades seek to become the Agito, a messiah prophesied in ancient mythology to appear at the time of Finis, an apocalyptic calamity.

King, along with the rest of his class, meets his end after fighting Cid Aulstyne, perishing from heavy wounds.

In the secret ending, in which Arecia removes the crystals from Orience's history, King is shown to have survived, and lives at the Peristylium. He plays bass guitar in a music group with Trey and Jack. He and Trey decide to skip practice, to the annoyance of Jack, telling him that they are already playing the music in their hearts, and then leave. Jack ends up following them, and they pass by Deuce, Cinque, and Queen.

In BattleEdit

"Rock'n roll!"

—King when using Magazine Bomb

King dual wields handguns in battle. As such, he has an incredible range in battle, but his ammo must be reloaded after a set number of shots. In comparison to Ace and Cater, King's basic attack has more range, less power and homing, and strikes more quickly.

Although King's movement is slower, he is able to dodge whilst attacking, effectively cancelling out his attack to avoid damage, a feat that both Ace and Cater are incapable of performing. He can also use a kick that deals moderate damage to close and downed enemies.
