Post here to help me with ideas for Kaiser, improvements, or plot ideas.

"I likely won't hold it AgAinst you if you sAy somethin9 bAd"

I have some questions that I actually wanted some other peoples insight on since Im not making much headway on my own with such thoughts.

1. How can I improve Kaiser's quirk? It feels so lackluster for having such a theme, many of the aspects of his quirk rarely show up. So I wanted peoples ideas on things to add to make it more quirky, as well as suggestions of gambling puns for Kaiser to use

2. How do you envision Kaiser upgrading his Strife Modus? They're cards, but it feels like how he uses them should advance, or possibly he should be adding another specibus further into the game.

3.Outfits, I like suits, but Im not sure how much they suit Kaiser. Tell me ideas for homages or simply styles that you think suit him

4. Kind of wondering for ways to enhance the idea that Kaiser isn't nice, yeah he's a jerk and there are a few things in the past that show that, but I want more ideas to prove he's not all talk. And I really think he is, he is too devout in his belief he is right and enjoys negative aspects of troll stereotypes for me to think he just blows his own horn. Plus makes him more despicable in Morgan's Eyes, as well as makes his change later more dramatic

1. Hmm, currency symbols maybe? I dunno.

2. I would assume style of use would change to fit whatever he alchemizes.

Aw, I like Kaiser's quirk. As for an upgrade in cards... Cards with sharper edges because they're in, uh, metal sleeves? Or exploding cards, Gambit style? Fiduspawn? I can see Kaiser rocking a leather jacket or vest.

Pinstripe vest and button-down with sleeves rolled up to the elbows. Yupyup.

I like both of those outfit ideas, anything that makes him look like a punk,

Also AZ I didnt mean get rid of his quirk, I meant suitable addons. I just think I need more to compensate for how little the other things happen

I really want more ideas for 2 and 4, thanks you guys for your great suggestions

Well, I don't know about #4, but for #2 I have a suggestion as to where you might look for ideas...Setzer from Final Fantasy VI. The guy has cards as weapons, sure, but he also gets darts, dice, and other gambling-themed weapons. Perhaps instead of just relying on cardkind, you might upgrade with other items later.
Alternatively, you might find a way to make it so the cards are made out of various types of metal, or are enchanted to return to you after hitting the enemy, or something.

I think Kaiser using, or upgrading to the more broad Gamblingkind is a cool idea. Maybe a slotmachine that works kind of like Vriska's Fluorite Octet? Kaiser may even aspire to become a Gamblignant, "a type of risk-prone Alternian marauders who are now believed to be extinct." (from the Dicekind page of the MSPA Wiki)

> Gamblignant

ooooooo, 'dis gon' be good :3

It fits rather well with his ideology that he would pursue reviving such a career

I like the idea of incorporating gamblingkind, I was also wondering if when he reaches god tier as the scourge he should acquire whipkind

Heh. Whipkind. As a Scourge. You a funny guy.

Do you know anything about Kingdom Hearts 2? A character, named Luxord, using giant playing cards to cut and such, and to make illusions. Perhaps something like that?

Do you have a video, by chance? Might be useful to see...
