NAME: Keith
CANON: Voltron: Legendary Defender
POINT IN CANON: end of Season 4, while working with the Blades of Marmora
AGE: 18 (21 as vetran?)
APPEARANCE: Casual, Blade Suit
CANON HISTORY: wiki!
CANON PERSONALITY:
Originally chosen by the Red Lion, Keith is a stubborn and temperamental young man with a fierce sense of justice who doesn't do anything halfway.
While he often comes off as cold and distant, Keith posesses a firey temperment that has given him an incredibly wide stubborn streak that often has him butting heads with others. He generally refuses to back down or back out of a fight, whether physical or verbal, and it often leads to a sort of tunnel vision when it comes to situations. He'll focus too hard on throwing himself in to a single aspect of a mission and ignore other details or disregard orders from superiors.
Keith is often reckless, and while his disregard for the safety of others around him has been tempered he often ignores his own in order to do what he believes is right. He generally invests in fights more emotionally than is wise, the fight against the Galra empire is personal, not because they have harmed him personally, but because they have hurt others both in large scale oppression of other planets and the smaller but more personal harm that has been done to members of the Voltron team who he's come to view as family.
One of the largest struggles Keith has is in letting other people in. His mother, a Galra, left when he was young and his father either is or is assumed dead as well. This early abandonment has had him build walls and push people away before they can get too close. He doesn't trust easily, despite his willingness to help strangers, and takes any sense that he might get left behind hard. He will fight to the death for a place to belong and had a difficult time deciding to leave his role as Paladin to become a full time Blade of Marmora. He wants to know more about the Galran side of his heritage, and most signs point to the idea that he's found another place to belong among the Blades.
Despite these shortcomings, Keith is an intuitive fighter and competent strategist. He thinks and acts quickly, and can think both as a high speed pilot in a firefight and a geurilla tactician for black-ops missions.
Keith has the makings of an incredible leader, to the point that the Black Lion accepted him as a pilot and leader of the Voltron Paladins. His leadership style tends to be agressive, he's an advocate for going on the offensive instead of constantly playing defense. He cares greatly for his teammates, and tends to swiftly set aside differences when it matters and doesn't have much time to engage in petty rivalries. Despite his loner tendencies, Keith is a major advocate for forging alliances with people he and his group share a mutual enemy with. He was the one to push to try to make an alliance with the galra rebels despite others being hesitant or outright hostile to the idea. However, Keith is aware that he's not ready to be a proper leader quite yet and it's part of why he stepped down
While serious, Keith does have a sense of fun and compassion that can be drawn out by his friends. Cracking jokes and engaging in shenannigans isn't beyond him in the slightest. He tends to enjoy nature as well, having spent a lot of time hiking mountains after he was expelled from the garrison academy.
POINT OF DEPARTURE: n/a
VETERAN?: Yes! Cursed Kingdom/Ivory Tower/Shoals Prime. He was on an extended walkabout situation!
ABILITIES:
Combat: Keith is an incredibly skilled fighter both armed and unarmed, to the point of being able to hold his own against a superpowered Zarkon as well as take on multiple armed opponents. Some of this may be due to his galra heritage.
Pilot: a prodigy spacecraft fighter pilot, Keith is especially good at high-speed manouvers in a number of different types of crafts and vehicles.
Galran Heritage: while he looks human, Keith has galran genetics from his mother. This allows him to use galran technology and makes him stronger and faster than the average human.
Black Ops/Munitions knowledge: Keith knows his way around subterfuge and explosives.
Veteran Skills: pet gryphon, technical systems and salvage, Portal Creation (stationary)
INVENTORY:
-Blade of Marmora Uniform
-Luxite blade
-a change of clothes and backpack from Ivory Tower
ANYTHING ELSE WE SHOULD KNOW?
M A R K S;
JUSTIFICATION:
Magician: Keith is someone who takes action and has an incredible amount of stubborn determination to see things through. He dislikes stagnation of situations, and tends towards practical solutions to problems.
Chariot: Victory before Death, while a very Galran way of life is something that Keith has inherited. He is often recklessly brave and tends to be inflexible about things.
Hermit: Keith tends to hold his proverbial cards close to his chest, he prefers to work through his own problems rather than rely on others.
Justice: when he's not letting his emotions get the better of him, Keith can be incredibly cold and distant. He's quick to be critical and remind others of their responsibilities as well as try to juggle his own.
VETO: none!

ACTIONSPAM SAMPLE: Hey, I'm back.
I think I took a wrong turn getting back from the whole merpeople and pirates... thing. I'm pretty sure it's been a while, so if everyone could help catch me up that would be great.
Oh, and if anyone knows where I can house a full grown gryphon and do some laundry that would be great.
[he sounds like he's done for a moment.]
Right.
This is Keith. I don't know who else is still around.
PROSE SAMPLE: (Ivory Tower Setting)
There's definetly something to be said about being somewhere that's pretty much Earth after so long in space. True, Keith had had to leave his griffon in liminal space for his new friend's own safety, but there was coffee and food that wasn't from some sort of goo packet or alien species.
The problem was that he didn't exactly have any money. He'd felt bad enough stealing a change of clothes and a backpack to hide his Blades suit in.
What he needed was a quick job.
Shoving his hands in his pockets he approached a salvage crew looking like they were preparing to head out. "Hey. Have room for another? I can pull my weight." He said, making full eye contact with the one who looked like he might be in charge.
