Personality: Kaito is a fairly simple creature. He doesn't require anything in specific to survive, he just
does (MacGuyver style). He's aware of things going on around him and as much of a don't-give-a-fuck attitude he exudes, he's in tune with people around him. An observer, since he's a man of few coherent words. About 95% of his vocabulary is filled up with curse words, insults, and creative death threats ("I will rip out your motherfucking liver and choke you with it, you cum geyser!"). Man, woman, kid-- he doesn't care, Kaito censors himself for no one. However! Men, he does not give two cents about. He has no problem hitting men and in order for other guys to get his actual attention, they need to be saying something completely relevant to him from the first go or he dismisses it automatically. Women, a tad more lenient. His first instinct will never be to hit a woman,
but he's done it before (well, sort of; technically it was a crossdresser) when the girl was clearly up to no good. Kids get away with pretty much anything, he just wont stop cursing or start baby-talk because it's a kid. He doesn't care if people get pissed at him, since he's living in his own world and if people can't handle it, then they don't deserve to be in it.
Feelings of grandeur? Definitely. Kaito Wanijima is
the best. He accepts nothing less of himself. Despite the sloppy way he carries himself he's a total perfectionist when it comes to things work related or when things get serious and expects people to be as well (hence a big reason why he 100% stands behind the statement where no one matches up to him, no one is ever good enough). Stubborn to a fault to boot. When he wants to do things, he'll do them. If he doesn't feel like it or if someone asks him to do it, he won't, just to be a dick. He practically grew up in the streets so he knows how to fend for himself and he's perfectly aware that no matter how excellent he believes he is, you still have to go after what you want. No one is going to just hand something to you.
He's a rude jerk who doesn't care much and is in need of anger management, but if you were to stand him long enough to actually talk to him, he's actually very smart. He went to a good university and excelled. Kaito is very goal-driven-- once he sets his sights on doing something,
he will. No questions asked. I mean, he's even gone as far as to carelessly fire a missile into things and complain that the hole wasn't large enough, and when Akira freaked out about starting a war between other countries (his voice of reason and miraculously one of the very few people that Kaito actually likes) he treated it like it was no big deal. Even when at times it seems like he's given up by going a different road and doing something that seems to go against the original goal, Kaito does nothing without thinking of how it could benefit him in the future and keeps his focus very clear.
No matter what. Kaito fell in love ten years prior to the start of canon and due to the nature of AirTreck, she was taken from him. Being the extremist he is (and boy is he-- Kaito thinks all in black and white with very little grays in between) and after having had made her his entire world, he dedicated his entire life to getting revenge. Joining the police force? More opportunities and equipment to legally pursue and kill the people that hunted them down and made Gazelle commit suicide. It's the drive that keeps him going, living, existing. All actions he's taken have been for that same goal and he'll stop at nothing to get it. Very possessive as well, as can be seen by the way he treats Akito (locking him up and keeping him firmly under his thumb). After losing Gazelle he just can't risk losing another important person, you know? That's why he flies into a fit of rage whenever Akito is off being TOO friendly with other people-- Akito is
his and those strangers will not take him away type logic.
So, there is a little bit more to him than his constant anger and workaholic tendencies. He actually
cares about things and people that he gets attached to (being a creature of habit, "people he gets attached to" are more "people that annoy him so much he actually starts to like having them around") and he's not above doing nice things for people as long as they never find out it was him that did it. You'd think that being the narcissist he is he'd be jumping at the chance to take credit for things that make people like him as much as he likes himself--
but that would be weak. He holds most people at arm length's away to avoid that whole emotional attachment deal; being strong is a top priority. Showing weakness is possibly one of the most terrible things you could do, since that leaves you vulnerable and everyone ends up getting hurt. Just the thought makes him flip out. He likes being in control of situations and he likes things going according to his plans, so anything that could potentially throw that off is a big no-no. It all goes back to the things that shaped him when he was younger. Cause and effect: let people in → become vulnerable → get hurt beyond words. He honestly believes that's the aftermath with everyone in all situations.Plus, having to be strong is pretty much all he's known his whole life so at this point it'd be near impossible to change.
Mentally, Kaito is a little out there. He believes violence is
always the answer ("
I heard some strange sounds and thought it'd return to normal if I hit it") and the way he reacts to certain situations might differ from what could be considered normal. He hides behind walls of sarcasm and even when he talks in sentence fragments, he just expects people to know what he's talking about. He's impatient, messy, demanding, and if you were to look up the definition of sadist in a dictionary, his picture would probably pop up. YET at the same time he's an internal masochist, what with after everything that happened ten years back, he still uses the same gun Gazelle used to commit suicide and he stopped doing anything to his hair as a constant reminder of her. Where most people would take care of themselves and their bodies to live a long, healthy life, Kaito chain smokes and eats only when he remembers, because as much as he
hates the thought of dying, his plan is to
not grow old and live some shitty long life once he accomplishes his ultimate goal of avenging Gazelle. Basically? He's an unstable 6'4" giant with huge unresolved issues and borderline walking contradiction pretending like he's got all his shit together and under control.
Abilities: Excellent skills with a gun and decent hand to hand combat, but other than that he's 100% human.
Multifandom Test: Let's go with Miria Harvent from Baccano!. Miria is spacey, loud, and fits the stereotype of "dumb, gullible blonde" to the fullest. When first meeting, Kaito would probably want to punch her in the face because
ohmygod she is LOUD and STUPID. She's also a bit on the eccentric side, so a lot of the stuff she said over a network or did in person would probably leave a lot for Kaito to comment on being the jerk that he is. It helps that she's super cute (and knows how to handle weapons despite everything, what with being an immortal thief and all), so after a while of banter and chatting and probably a lot of random conversations about absolutely nothing, Kaito would end up taking a liking to her and not mind having her around (in a "she's like an annoying puppy that yaps and barks all the time but it's still a fucking puppy so you don't kick it around" type of way).
Third person sample: Kaito growled. He was at such a loss for words that he had to resort to making savage sounds. He refused to believe that message. The last he remembered was talking to Akira in his RV and downing a couple of more beers while stretched out on his bed. Was he dreaming? Knowing Akira, that dumbass had probably crashed the RV and killed them both. He scoffed at the thought; Kaito would never be taken down by something so stupid. Waking up here didn't make any sense at all and that just made him twice as angry.
Breathe, he reminded himself as he frantically dug through his coat pockets until he found his cigarettes.
The first few seconds after lighting up were pure bliss to him as he started to calm down. Much better. He leaned against the wall of his bed, looking down at the ball and chain. How fuckin' primitive. Kaito began to go over everything in his head, making a list to himself of all the things that were illegal in his current situation and vowed to personally knock this place to the ground once he found a way out. Kaito closed his eyes as he exhaled, then threw the cigarette down on the ground to stub it with his boot.
"Shit," he muttered before standing up and checking the door. Locked. Kaito backed up and at the count of three slammed his shoulder into it. Once, twice, and then a third time. It wasn't as easy as it would have been had he not been held back by that stupid chain. A string of curses later he went and sat back down on the bed, looking deep in thought for a second before grabbing his communicator to mess with it.
First person sample:I think there's something in the fucking water in this place. There, good deed for the day. My head is
pounding like a cheap prostitute-- and before you fucking smart asses assume it's a hangover,
it isn't.[a pause in the voice post, a little rustling can be heard, followed by what sounds like someone trying to force open a door. another pause. definitely the sound of someone trying to break down a door now, then a much louder one when he succeeds. it's a bit faint, but something along the lines of ow, son of a bitch! can be heard before it disconnects completely]
