Template:Type0 Character

Online description

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

Profile

Appearance

King.

King is a young man with long blond hair and red eyes. He wears the standard uniform of Class Zero, but his jacket is shorter and he never fastens it; a black jacket with gold-padded shoulders, a red cape, and white trousers. His summer uniform has a white short-sleeved shirt with a black print on the side and black trim on the ends of the sleeves, a black tie, red cape, black trousers and gloves and white shoes. His formal uniform has a red jacket with black-padded shoulders and cuffs, white cape and gloves and black trousers with silver decoration at the bottom.

Personality

A young man of few words, King prefers to take action rather than waste time exchanging ideas. Even in matters of life and death, he maintains his composure, making rational decisions and acting upon them immediately. Some view his reticence as "cool," but others misconstrue him as cold and aloof. In actuality, he's quite thoughtful. Unfortunately however, his kindness doesn't always come across as clearly as he thinks it does.

Rubicus

Although he appears cold, King has a kind heart. He trains every day and possesses a serious demeanor and strong common sense.

King

A quiet child, King usually kept to himself. Dr. Al-Rashia, however, detected great potential in him, and in 833 she brought him to Sorcery Division's development center near Akademeia and began training him personally. King joined Class Zero, a group of students from the Akademeia, the Magic Academy of the nation of Rubrum, that fight the invasion of Rubrum by the Militesi 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 Tempus Finis, an apocalyptic calamity.

After Togoreth has been obliterated, the cadets return to Academia to spend their free time until the next mission. Seven and King meet Mutsuki, who is paranoid they could be picking on her.

When the cadets are sent to sabotage the imperial magitek armor program they get orders to cease fire due to a newly wrought armistice mid-mission. Kurasame Susaya, the cadets' commanding officer, travels to the imperial capital as Chancellor Khalia Chival VI's aide and negotiates for the cadets' safety, and afterward explains the situation to them: the empire had proposed peace before the cadets' mission was underway, but they could not contact them in time to halt it. The cadets disagree with the treaty, positing that the empire has no right to ask for peace for being the initial aggressor. They meet Queen Andoria who explains that peace is the Will of the Crystals, and that if the cadets oppose it, it would only lead to Tempus Finis. Yet, the cadets struggle accepting that what they have been fighting for is against the Crystal's will.

King speaks with Aria.

Afterward the cadets are free to explore the city and King and Deuce talk to Aria, an orderly who has come to Ingram to support the class, who seems too shy to even open her mouth. As the two encourage her to express herself, Aria reveals a new side as a talkative girl who had repressed her true nature due to her mother's instruction to not get on people's nerves. King quickly becomes exasperated with her and suggests she continue heeding her mother's advice.

Queen Andoria is assassinated and the cadets are blamed for it. The class is ambushed at the hotel and the cadets fight through the city to make their escape while unable to contact Central Command, indicating they had been left behind on purpose. They face off against Celestia, Queen Andoria's aide and a l'Cie, who, at first holds them culpable for the queen's death, but is convinced otherwise and helps the cadets escape the city to a deserted house in the old Lorica region. King brings up the issue of them still being unable to contact Central Command, and after an argument over Machina holding Class Zero culpable for his brother Izana's death, Machina marches off.

The cadets decide to stay put overnight. King stays optimistic that they will find their way back to Mother in Akademeia, saying that sacrifices are par for the course and worrying about others is no use without look after oneself first. He and Sice guard the exit to the woods until they are relieved of their duty by Seven and Nine so that they can get some rest. King asks if Queen is still worrying about Machina, leading to a discussion on him. King ponders how Machina found out about his brother, and Seven mentions she had seen him meet with the commandant back in Ingram, who was likely the one to have told him. Machina finally returns in the morning, and the cadets can move on as Deuce exclaims the COMM is working again and she has reached the dominion.

Kurasame organizes for the cadets to be rescued by airship and back in Akademeia tells them there will likely be an investigation, and implies the cadets switched off their COMM to avoid being contacted. The cadets find the accusations ridiculous and as Nine raises his voice in frustration King stops the situation from escalating. King is positive no one really believes they are the assassins, and only want to shift the blame.

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.

Spoilers end here.

Gameplay

Rock'n roll!

King when using Magazine Blast

King in battle.

King wields duel handguns in battle. Compared to fellow ranged characters, he lacks the homing capabilities of Ace and Cater but has vastly more range and firing speed. Consequently, he has an ammo mechanic in which he needs to reload his ammo especially when it is depleted in order to continue firing his guns. He also lacks power and possesses the lowest base defense, fire magic affinity, and support affinity.

Although King's overall movement is slower than Ace and Cater, he is able to lightly cancel moves by dodging, a feat that both are incapable of performing. He can also use a close ranged kick that deals moderate damage and can be used in succession into itself.
