( history )( personality )( abilities )[ ADDITIONAL NOTES ]-
Kid's age: So none of the characters were ever given ages, but it's always been assumed they were in the 14-15 range. I've always played Kid as 15. SC is set a year AFTER the end of the anime. With only SC's actual start date as a starting point, the timeline is thus: June 2008 (end of anime) --> June 2009 (SC start) --> March 2010 (at time of writing this). I just gave Kid an arbitrary birthday of August 26 because he fits the Virgo Zodiac sign and it actually works numerically (8 | 2+6=8 | 88). So assuming he was 15 during the main events of the anime, in August 2008 he would have turned 16, August 2009 would be 17, and in 2010 he'll be 18. Of course it's a fudge line between 16 and 17, but I opted for going older. At any case, if Ohkubo EVER gives canon character ages and birthdays even for a starting point, I'll retcon this. But for now, that's my solution for whenever someone asks him how old he is. It doesn't come up often and I had hoped to never really address this but...there has been one actual time so. Sob. I apologize for having to headcanon this, but now you have my reasoning.
Just a few notes about what he does in-game:
- Part of the "Welcome to Shibusen" crew for the newcomers
- Every morning Kid helps with the Morning Training Sessions: Meister Ability
- Maintains the barrier that prevents the Madness from entering Death City
- Cannot leave the city due to said barrier
- Cannot do as many missions due to said situation; therefore it's going to take forever for Liz and Patti to turn to Deathscythes unless he lets them go to train with someone else ;;
- As of 6/08/2012 (Feb 25 in-game), Liz and Patti have 95 kishin eggs each (a number somewhat arbitrarily chosen. At the start of the anime they had 71/72, so it is highly likely that they would have gotten more by this point and it is the number decided between me and the players who play the sisters (Cybra and Cura))
- More than likely wears the Shinigami costume when performing official duties with the mask reserved for even more official situations outside of Death City
