Sol Badguy

Sol Badguy, Guilty Gear™ -STRIVE- Character Artwork

Outline: Sol was born in the United States of America sometime in the 20th century. With two colleagues he met during college - "That Man" and "Aria" - he devoted the early years of his career to groundbreaking research on Gear cells in an attempt to improve humanity itself. However, as the Gear project grew in prominence in 2016, That Man's betrayal turned Sol into the very first Prototype Gear.

He also has a "Seed" created by the Original that could prevent the manifestation of the Absolute World planted within his throat, earning him the name the "Flame of Corruption."

Transformed into a Gear against his will, he started developing the Gear Cell Suppressor. After successfully maintaining his humanoid form, he blends back into human society as a bounty hunter, calling himself Sol Badguy.

In 2073, upon catching wind of "That Man" completing the Gear Justice, he created the "Outrage," the ultimate anti-Gear weapon, in response.

In 2074, when Justice's rebellion sparked the beginning of the Crusades, Sol set out to exterminate the Gears.

The war raged on for the next one hundred years, and Sol was always in the thick of it. In 2103 he saved a child who would later become the Sacred Order of Holy Knights commander: Kliff Undersn.

As the commander, Kliff scouted Sol into the Holy Order, where he met Ky Kiske for the first time. Not long after, he stole the "Fireseal" and left the Order. Operating alone, he sealed Justice and brought the Crusades to an end. Following the incident, he took Ky and Dizzy's child, Sin, under his wing and raised him while wandering the world.

In 2186, an army led by a girl who calls herself Valentine began an assault on humankind. Sol narrowly managed to defeat her but discovered an entity known as the "Universal Will" that wished for mankind's destruction.

During the Cradle Incident, he traveled to Japan and captured Ramlethal after she declared war against humankind. However, only then did he realize that she was just a diversion for the Conclave, the real masterminds, to transport Justice's body. He then managed to stop the Conclave's plan after learning from Ramlethal their motives. However, the "Universal Will," who was one step ahead, succeeded in securing Elphelt and Justice's body.

After the decisive battle with the "Universal Will" and retrieving Aria's soul, he led a peaceful life as a bounty hunter. However, the respite was short-lived, as a series of events, starting with the assault on Illyria Castle by I-No, brought him to the United States.

Personality: Sol hates working any harder than he has to, which means he rarely puts much effort into anything. A man of few words, he says only as much as he has to to get his point across. Consequently, he is not very good at expressing himself and tends to compensate by bullying people into line or simply steamrolling them. Although most people see him as crude and self-centered, he has been accepted by those close to him for who he is.

Outline: Sol was born in the United States of America sometime in the 20th century. With two colleagues he met during college - That Man and Aria - he devoted the early years of his career to groundbreaking research on Gear cells in an attempt to improve humanity itself. As the Gear project grew in importance in 2016, however, That Man's betrayal turned Sol into the very first Prototype Gear.

After developing a process to hold his Gear cells at bay, Sol is able to maintain his humanoid form. Sometime later he reappears, now calling himself Sol Badguy, and claiming to be a bounty hunter.

In 2073 That Man completes Justice. When news reaches Sol, he creates a weapon called "Outrage" to defeat her.

The following year Justice rebels, and the Crusades begin. Sol begins his own private war against the Gears.

War rages for the next one hundred years, and Sol is always in the thick of it. In 2103 he saves the man who would later go on to command the Holy Order: Kliff Undersn. Kliff will have a great respect for Sol for the rest of his life.

After Kliff joins the Holy Order, he scouts Sol, and he immediately joins and meets Ky Kiske. Before long, he steals the Fireseal and runs away. Operating alone, he seals Justice and brings the war to an end. Following the incident, he takes Ky and Dizzy's child, Sin under his wing and raises him while wandering the world.

2186, a girl named Valentine declares war on the world. He manages to win the war, but discovers a power known only as the Universal Will that wishes for mankind's destruction.

After accepting the declaration, he travels to Japan to capture Ramlethal, and succeeds. But only they does his team realize that that was a diversion, and the real masterminds were the Conclave. Their plan - to teleport Justice inside Illyria, and revive her with St. Elmo’s Fire. With Elphelt’s help, they manage to stop Justice's revival, but in the process, Elphelt falls into the hands of the enemy...

Personality: Sol hates working any harder than he has to, which means he rarely puts much effort into anything. A man of few words, he says only as much as he absolutely has to in order to get his point across. Consequently he's not very good at expressing himself, and tends to compensate by bullying people into line or simply steamrolling them. Most people see him as crude and self-centered...even people who might call him a friend.
