Name: Kuja
Age: 24
Eye color: Blue
Hair color: Silver purple
Family: Garland (Creator), Trance, Zidane, Mikoto
Home: Terra
Title: Angel of Death
Specialty: Magic
Job: Wreak havoc upon Gaia so that Terra can assimilate it




History: Kuja was created by Garland, a scientist/ruler of a world named Terra, for the sole purpose of disrupting the flow of souls from another planet called Gaia. Initially a 'genome' was a shell awaiting a soul once Garland assimilated Gaia into the dying world of Terra that he ruled.

However, Kuja was given a soul in order to take on the role of 'Angel of Death'. He took a liking to his role until he learned of his 'brother' Zidane, his replacement since Kuja was in all actuality a flawed specimen and was destined to cease functioning around the age of 24.

This did not sit too well with the effeminate creation, and in his anger he activated his Trance Mode, destroyed his world and set about wanting to destroy Gaia as well. Zidane and comrades battled him and defeated him. They left with haste as the Iifa Tree, the organism responsible for the flow of souls and the place where the final battle was held, began to collapse.

Zidane chose to stay and seek out his brother, explaining that he was family no matter what. In the end, Kuja's final act was one of salvation and he used his last strength to whisk his brother's comrades to safety.

But where did he go after he had 'died'?


Rivelata: The sea. Oh how he detested the sea. It was temperamental and enigmatic, prone to change on a whim and difficult to study. And here he was, apparently, on a ship in the middle of an ocean spanning far and wide.

He was fatigued and irritable, not quite ready to embrace the despair that taunted the fragments of his heart still functioning. Defeated. Exiled. And now what? His clothes were dirtied and torn beyond repair, his glorious hair was matted with grime and his favorite boots were chipped. And he had broken not one, but three nails.

He leant against the railing, peering down to watch the ship carve through the water. The garments the guards wore, the tattered remnants of his fellow shipmates- all were so foreign to him.

A soft, wistful smile appeared on his lips though he was careful to hide it. Perhaps this wouldn't be so bad. Perhaps this was a second chance- an opportunity to cut his own puppet strings...

And dance his own waltz in a new world.


Kuja is vain, conceited and cares very little for the feelings of others. Or so most think, when they come across his flamboyant disregard of the social norm. However, inside he is at the beck and call of social approval, feeling the need to be glorified in order to reassure himself. He needs people and attention, otherwise he folds up inside and cannot combat his past.

Find an ally in him, and you will find a loyal friend.

Relationships in Rivelata:

Pre-Suicide:

• Schuldig, immediately befriended him due to their banter in the journals
• Hitachiin Kaoru, met before the ball and soon became rather fond of him. Comforted him when Hikaru was held captive. Pretended to be in love with him, for a laugh.
• Balthier mid Bunansa, met at the ball along with Bela Talbot, and after the chaos lived with them in a house furnished with their stolen trinkets.
• Bradley Crawford,member of the Schwarz along with Schuldig, met during a shopping trip
• Nagi Naoe,member of the Schwarz along with Schuldig, met during a shopping trip, fond of him though when Nagi wanted to pursue a relationship Kuja turned him down.
• Aoyagi Ritsuka, helped him when he first arrived, but the boy has amnesia and does not remember Kuja at all
• Agatsuma Soubi, helped him when he first arrived, fond of him.
• Shibuya Yuuri, helped him when he first arrived
• Sakamoto Ryouma, worked for him briefly at Saitani-Ya Spices
• Okita Souji, sparred verbally with
• Sebastian Michaelis, spoke through the journals, before the butler ended Kuja's life by request after Kuja resigned to his fate
  

Post-Suicide:

Kuja committed suicide to prevent his Trance from activating and destroying the 'family' he had gathered. The Blood Curse had called too many, and Kuja did not want to be one of them. However, Rivelata had not seen the last of him and much to the surprise of his friends- he returned.

The 'new' Kuja hails from right after he destroys Queen Brahne's Naval Fleet and the Queen herself. He arrived drugged on power and the morbid amusement concerning his own mortality. His previous friends were quick to find him nastier and snarkier, with a disgust for physical contact and large crowds.

• Sebastian Michaelis, serves Kuja as a butler at the transformed abode now known as 'The Estate'
• Agatsuma Soubi, after a shaky start they are on civil terms
• Balthier mid Bunansa, after a mellow start they are back to their familiar relationship of witty banter and a fondess for finer things. Kuja is also designing the wedding garments for Balthier and Fran
• Hitachiin Kaoru, despite his dislike of ordinary people, Kuja has warmed up to him once more and is even willing to help.
• Nagi Naoe, met to discuss an alliance, bemused at his wit and cold demeanor.
• Prince Ludwig, kindred spirit in the aristocratic sense, lives with Kuja at The Estate and is the other half of their business 'Les Bijoux' (info below)
• Fujisaki Nadeshiko, met at the ball and is now Kuja's protégé whom he is fond of.
• Clark Kent, curious man he's interested in extracting information from
• George Koizumi, fashion designer whom Kuja is fond of, part of the Les Bijoux team
• Oriya Mibu, business ally as well as a friend who has a placating effect on Kuja
• Travis Touchdown, previous housemate, he sees him as a rugged 'puppy' with model potential.
• Maximum Ride, antagonized Kuja but also accepted a bet, Kuja wants her to realize her own beauty
• Due to the arrival of Ciel Phantomhive, the contract with Sebastian was anulled.
• Death of Prince Ludwig leaves Kuja moroseful, but accepting.
  
• Fran, extremely fond of her due to her beauty he so admires.
• Disappearance of Badou leaves Kuja a model short, and the disappearance of George leaves Kuja as the sole owner running Les Bijoux. His own mortality frightens him.
• After a conversation with Kaoru, it seems they are even closer to their previous relationship.
• All of Kuja's magical experiements are noticed by theDaevai'Vizaresh' who is in charge of guiding and frightening souls to rest, as well as Perception and Awakened Consciousness. They share a relationship full of banter and amusement.
• The fires at the Clinic frustrated Kuja, caught up in the wrong place at the wrong time. He aided Axel, civilians and Shibuya Yuuri.
• The rain Yuuri brought allowed Kuja to unwind from all his frustration and grief, as well as allowing him the chance to give Max temporary wings.
• After noticing an amusing enchantment by Haruhi Suzumiya, Kuja decides to temporarily become female to play along with Fujisaki.

Pre-suicide, Kuja held a shaky civil relationship with his brother Zidane Tribal, referring to him fondly as his 'baby brother'. However, post-suicide they went back to being enemies which led to Kuja's eventual act of fratricide.

'Les Bijoux' is run by the trio comprised of George Koizumi, Kuja and Prince Ludwig. They are an image consultancy team capable of designing complete images- clothes, hair and make up. Kuja has allied the business with the Fullmoon Maple Teahouse run by Oriya Mibu, through a mutually beneficial arrangement.
