Coming soon...

• Allergic To Routine - Kid Ballistic does what he wants, when he wants. So when he has to keep doing the same thing, or worse, do nothing, he gets...itchy.

• Badass Normal and Superhero Packing Heat - KB's skills and talents go beyond the ken of mortal men. Well, OK - normal men. Part of that is innate badassery, part of it is intense training, and part of is an arsenal worthy of most 80s action flicks.

• Berserk Button - KB is always kind of a [CENSORED], but he only really gets angry at two things: failing a shot, and getting teased for his poor aim.

• Bottomless Magazines - Yeah, he never seems to run out of bullets...

• Bulletproof Vest - A necessity. The only thing keeping his fickle friend, the bullet, from finding its way back to his heart. That, and his undeniable charm.

• Crazy Prepared - KB always shows up to a situation packing heat, and a lot of it. Does he use it all? He tries his damndest. He has weapons caches all around the city, crates of weapons and ammo at home, and plenty of hidden goodies on his person.

• Disarm, Disassemble, Destroy - Kid Ballistic can take apart most firearms and explosives in seconds, sometimes quicker if you don't need every piece. Sometimes, he'll do this to his enemy's weapons as well.

• Firing In The Air A Lot - What better way to celebrate a victory? Start a race? Get the bartender's attention?

• Good Is Not Nice - Kid Ballistic is not the nicest person. Sure, he'll talk to you. He'll ask you questions. But you're probably gonna want to leave or hurt him by the time he's done. This is especially true of girls.

• Good Old Fisticuffs - KB hates it, but if he has nothing left, he'll square off with some basic boxing and Krav Maga techniques. He stands no chance against anyone well-trained in martial arts, but against your average opponent, its an advantage.

• Gun Nut - This much should be obvious. He loves them. He cleans them. He holds them. He loves them again. They're the source of his greatest delight on Earth.

• Gun Twirling - What self-respecting gunslinger doesn't do this on a regular basis? Nevermind that it's not entirely safe!

• Guns Akimbo - When you need quantity over quality, two pistols are the way to go. And KB always uses two.

• Handsome Devil - Despite his arrogant, wild, and spiteful attitude, KB's rockin' a serious bod and a handsome mug to boot.

• Jerkass Has A Point - No matter how arrogant or insufferable he can be, he's been around the block, and his adaptive mind often finds solutions others never thought of.

• Jerk With A Heart Of Gold - Deep down, KB just wants approval and acceptance. He has a lot of respect for others, and even cares about a few, for whom he would do a great lot. Will he admit it? No. Will he show it? Don't count on it.

• Made Of Iron - He's 16, and he drinks like a fish, smokes like a factory, and sleeps like an junky. His bones have been broken, he's been shot, he's been concussed. And still he marches on.

• More Dakka - Kid Ballistic doens't savor the shot like a sniper. He rides a wave of automatic fire until his hands are numb and his ears are ringing.

• Muscles Are Meaningless - Ballistic's in great shape, but there are hordes of those stronger and tougher than him. And he takes those people down on a regular basis.

• No Range Like Point-Blank Range - He knows a few martial arts moves. He carries a knife. Doesn't matter. If you try to close distance with him, you will still get shot. "Multiple" doesn't even begin to describe how many times.

• Pistol-Whipping - Everything can be made a weapon. Firearms may become cudgels, and your kitchen supplies may become a bomb. Keep an eye under your kitchen sink, folks.

• Quick Draw - He may not be accurate, but he is a quick handed [CENSORED]. Try him.

• Smoking Barrel Blowout - Another obligatory gunslinger move. He actually engineers his ammunition to produce more smoke just so he can do this.

• Socially-Awkward Hero - KB can be an odd duck. Being raised in foreign lands by his father didn't nurture all the social cues and graces that most people get in the States. Or culture in general. He isn't always aware of the situation, and when he is, he doesn't always act correctly. He may just seem quirky at first. Then eccentric. Then after that...I honestly don't know.

• Trick Bullet - The essence of KB's crimefighting. He uses more custom, non-lethal ammunition than the standard. And it still feels good.

• Trigger Happy - If he's standing still, you can bet he wants to be moving. And if his guns are holstered, you can bet he's trying to find an excuse to whip 'em out.

• Wall of Weapons and Where Does He Get All Those Wonderful Toys? - KB's hideout is packed with weapons and ammo. Some are on display, many are hidden in crates and panels and pipes and drawers and floorboards. One wonders where and how someone his age gets his hands on hundreds of pounds of Semtex. A close second is "Why does someone your age have hundreds of pounds of Semtex!?"

• Young Gun - While remarkable for his age, it's remarkably obvious that KB's still got a lot to learn. He is usually outmatched by other heroes who do the same thing he does.

• Kid Ballistic is nefarious for collateral damage, needless noise, and mayhem. It's been on the news, and if you're anywhere near Westside, you've probably heard it, or seen it up close.

• Kid Ballistic is a regular at Club Caprice. They won't let him drink, but he takes care of that before and after. Mostly he goes there to dance, people watch, and occasionally mingle.

• Sid frequents Neon Baby, a record store in Westside. He spends hours sampling records, usually before buying just one.

• Sid is a regular at the bar scene in Westside. Are you surprised to know he has a fake ID?

• Nobody touches his guns. Nobody. If you're touching his guns, you're probably walking into a trap. Or he really likes you. Or he's dead...which means its probably a trap.

• Kid Ballistic is obsessed with action films and westerns. His favorite movies are The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, Die-Hard, and Commando.

• KB listens to a lot of music, even during combat. Rock 'n' Roll, Jazz, Metal, Opera, Electronica? Yes please. It is not uncommon to find him dancing. Sometimes he'll fire his weapons or detonate a bomb to the beat of his current track.

• KB is an accomplished, albiet amateur dancer. Most of what he knows is learned from his favorite films. He is not, however, a good dance partner.

• KB doesn't just drink alcohol because it looks cool (although it does). He actually does enjoy some of it. He's very partial to bourbon and brandy.

• Ballistic is actually very nervous around girls. He had next to zero experience with them growing up, and was never really taught how to act around them. So he reacts in one of two ways: he belittles them, or tries to ignore them. Woe to any girl who actually catches his eye.

• KB is ambidextrous.

• KB doesn't care for video games, especially first-person shooters. Once you've done the real thing, the virtual comes up pretty short.

• KB knows a smattering of foreign languages. He can communicate basic ideas in Mandarin Chinese, Japanese, Russian, and Arabic. He used to know Spanish and French pretty well, but has since let it fall by the wayside.

• KB, being new to the United States, knows comparatively little about it. Pop culture references and common knowledge often goes right over his head.

• Kid Ballistic has no Facebook account. No Twitter, LinkedIn, Spotify, or dating profiles either.

• KB is not quite the gun expert he makes himself out to be. Give him a gun, he can figure it out in a couple minutes. He can take it apart and put it back together. But he doesn't bother with a lot of the details and technical information.

• KB is very sensitive about his accuracy (or lack thereof) with firearms.

• KB hates the bow and arrow. Guess what he thinks of archers?

• KB hates telepathy even more.

• Don't even get him started on magic.

• KB never had pizza growing up. As such, he has since become an addict, and has almost hit up every pizza joint in Millennium City.

• KB is constantly experimenting with new ammunition or modifications to his weapons. These don't always go over well.

• KB operates in Westside from a rented out basement. The basement hides more weapons than Westside's police precinct.

• KB will not talk about his parents. Well, unless he's drunk, I suppose.

• KB still maintains a few foreign contacts. Some of them are criminals. They give him the best prices.

• KB is a huge fan of two people in the superpowered community: the supersoldier All-Star and the hired assassin Killshot, despite the fact that All-Star doesn't know he exists, and Killshot tried to, well, kill him.

• Sid's favorite season is Spring. He likes the rain. It's also mating season.

Kid Ballistic is heavily inspired by the more mercenary, underworld, and wild side of comic book superheroes (and villains). Chief among them are Hit-Girl, Damian Wayne, Arsenal, and the Comedian. A lot of little pieces of his character or costume were inspired by the Punisher, Deathstroke the Terminator, and Deadpool. There's also, as with most of my characters, a lot of me in KB's character.
