Kidd
Savage Valentine
-----
He's never, ever killed a person in cold blood. He wouldn't be able to stomach it. To kill someone just because you feel like killing someone, he's never understood that mindset of other pirates. He always needs a reason, even if his look lousy to others. But he never just kills a person off the street. Maybe pick a fight, follow some primitive instinct to assert is dominance over his rivals. But he won't kill them, not just because he picks a fight and feels like it.
What is a good reason, at least in his mind, is cleaning out the dregs of society. Those who laugh at this new era looming over them, content with the old ways and refusing to make progress as progress comes. What's so damn funny about having dreams, anyway? It's sad, in his mind, when someone is so empty that they spend their days trying to spread their emptiness into others. There is no place for those empty people in the new era. There's no place for those zombies who go from day to day without purpose, somehow thinking themselves cleverer or better for it, in the new era. He's not so cocky to think of it as his era yet, but damn it if he wasn't in the lead of this world-wide race of dreamers. No zombie would stand in his way. He'd put them where they belonged: in the ground, where they can't leech off the life of others.
But he'd never, ever kill in cold blood.
