Kit

From DQWiki

Kit is a Human Illusionist played by Andrew Withy. Common nom de guerres include:

  • Sir Christopher D'arbres
  • Sir Christopher Reynard
  • Bishop Ordinariate D'arbres
  • Kryan the Illusionist
  • Sister Christine

He should not be confused with Christopher, another Church Knight / Guild member with the same first name; nor with Sherrif Christopher Reynard of Novadom. Both are good people who would rightfully object to such confusion.

Kit is pacted to Gabriel and indirectly the rest of the Powers of Light, and is also married to Lady Kathleen Reynard. He is the military ordinariate assigned by the Unified Western Church to be responsible for the evil commited by the Guild. This gives him an honourary title of Bishop, along with all of the moral reponsibility and none of the powers, respect, or flock.

He is a master Troubadour. He sails and duels a bit also. From 799WK to 804WK, he held the title of Alusia's Greatest Swordsman, before relinquishing it to Tsukahara Yoshitoshi Musashi-san, his current sensei. He's even written a basic guide on how to fight.

As a theologian, Kit is particularly interested in Ethics, although he also has some theories on Metaphysics as well. He is a Scholastic Philosopher (none of that empirical stuff) specialising in some sub-categories of Fog, and the Ethereal and Fae Ethereal. He has also done some research on theories of Navigation.

Kit is from a minor branch of old Foxcourt nobility - the Reynards being Chevalier-héréditaire (Baronets) for several generations. He has earned his spurs in battle, and is now the Chevalier-héréditaire D'arbres in Newcourt, where he maintains delicate alliances with several Fae courts.

Kit endeavours not to use magic, weapons, or armour (except against demons), and is seeking a new path through meditation and prayer. One of his prayers is that he will still be able to fight the good fight with his new approach. His skills in unarmed combat have been steadily improving thanks to his meditation, and his practise of obscure and recondite arts. He hopes to become a pure agility fighter again, rather than the Hero that he was becoming.

His hobbies include: music, offending powerful beings, sailing, killing Alusian rulers, building churches and free-falling. Unlike the rest of the beauty contestants, he is working on ways to prevent World Peace.

His strictures include: always protect the innocent; never lie; never ignore a ghost or revenant, but resolve its injustice; never knowingly help or serve evil; endeavour to guide people away from frivolous use of magic; never accept unnecessary magical aid; never let a wrong note go unpunished; never refuse a challenge; respect, honour and obey his wife.
