Kommado Dragon: KD

"..."

"Is that slimmer Zero the one I used to know?"

I have downloaded the app Grindr so I can connect with other like-minded individuals on the grind. I am young, hungry and tired of being on the bottom. That should suffice.

Legacy: Despite his history as a warlord, in a post Neo Arcadian society, he's remembered more so as an ally of the resistance with a dark past. Scholars debate his methodology of selling Maverick Hunter weapons to protect the weak, but cannot deny his efforts aided the resistance.

Post Zero: KD when attacking a rebel outpost meets a rebuilt Scalpel and without hesitation abandons Neo Arcadia and joins the rebels, as not only a soldier, but supplying them with old weapons from abandoned Arcadian Supply Depots. Eventually, he is killed by Fairy Leviathan for betraying the cause

Post X8: KD and The Arcadians live their best life as Mavericks in Russia until the Elf Wars which wiped out most of his assets. His troops, what little survived, were scattered and KD himself nomadic wanderer until recruited by Neo Arcadia as muscle. Feeling guilt for betraying X, he joins.

KD claims his actions are a necessary evil. He is declared Maverick and forced to cut ties with his old allies and family. He spends the next few years creating Arcadian Security Solutions, a private military for hire with a base set in Siberia. He sparks a feud with Sigma for refusing to aid him.

Post X4
KD has gotten married to Scalpel and even fostered two daughters who are combat medics with the Maverick Hunters. The years of violence have taken an extreme toll however, and during a deployment to train recruits in Angola, he is involved in a scandal where he is caught selling weapons.
+

Solis would be cleared for duty and KD would request to be tasked alongside them. The two have an unshakable bond, in which KD has adopted the miscreant as his own. Notably, he is one of the few who can keep Solis on a leash.

During the events of X2, due to needing new Hunters as soon as possible, he would be tasked with training new reploids, his ruthless efficiency, new hunters would routinely come at half the time of other trainers, most prominent would be Solis, a reploid with less than savory aspects.
+

Post War, he would spend a brief stint in the Russian Reploid Boxing Scene with the name Monster Of Moscow. During one of his bouts, an un-named agent with the Maverick Hunters recruits him. He forms an intense friendship with his Navigator and medical officer Scalpel, as well as a rivalry with Zero

A brief history of Kommando Dragon
Prior to the events of X, KD is built by the Cossack Industries Military Division and is activated during a series of Civil Unrest called The Unification Wars, a parallel to World War 2 involving Russia and Germany. Ruthless and efficient, he excels.

>> Makes me actually want to try the Xdive games!!

America is weird. They sell cheese in aerosol can. CAN. I sprayed it directly into mouth like flamethrower. Scalpel walked in, stared, said ‘You are why we can’t have nice things’

Delicious.

Age is definitely catching up with him. He nods and apologizes with a silent nod before properly introducing himself.

"You just look like someone I know is all. Sorry about that. I'm Maverick Hunter Kommando Dragon, KD for short. Nice to meet you, Ciel. "

>> the trauma I get upon hearing the credits theme for those two games

@resistanceciel.bsky.social

The reploid is practically racking his brain. He can't remember, but something in his ancient brain is trying to connect the dots.

"Are you the New Alia?"

Posted this at 3 AM but let's try not doing that at unreasonable hours

"For my birthday, Solis got me this.

Charming. "

@irregulardive.bsky.social

"You'd be the one to ask, does the museum have any exhibits about me?"

The reploid smiles, maybe someone thinks he's important enough to go down in history!

@recollect25xx.bsky.social

The old Reploid stares, confused.

"Your armor. Sleek, beautiful. Far more advanced than anything I've seen. You some sort of prototype or something?"

"Something on your mind?"

Bedtime
I leave this

"Someday, things will be fine, and we will all be able to live in harmony. No Mavericks, no Hunters. Just peace.

That would be good. The world has suffered enough, Ico. "

KD and Solis face the firing squad for their crimes (2XXX, colorized)

>> my headcanon is that because there's just 2 Russians in the series, KD is a product of the Cossacks and would unironically call Kalinka mom

"Maverick is label. Look at circumstances as to why they went Maverick, then decide if someone is evil or not. "

I remember Scalpel fell asleep on my chest during movie night. I didn’t move for six hours. Tail went numb. When she woke up she drew a little heart on my chest plate in permanent marker and wrote ‘Property of Scalpel—hands off.’ I still haven’t scrubbed it off. Never will. Wife material."

"Usalia. Never heard of that one before. "

For a maverick, he's extremely polite and amicable, downright friendly.

"Ah. Stories, I've plenty! It comes with age, kiddo. I joined the hunters 30 years ago, and I was the old man back then! Now I'm practically ancient!"

A thunderous laugh.

"The Maverick Hunters have rules. The oppressed don’t. Most don't even have a means to truly defend themselves. Without a way to defend themselves, they're always oppressed.

Look how much destruction happens because Hunters are ALL society has. "

"I was a Cossack Soldier, Russia's version of the Hunters. Eventually, my exploits in Russia were enough for the Hunters to give me a contract!"

There's a soft fondness, unbelievable coming from a reploid built like a miniature Godzilla.

"I am Kiril, but they call me kommando dragon. You are?"
