Kite is a fictional character that the player controls in the first four .hack video games. His real-life friend, Yasuhiko, tells him about the MMORPG, The World, and tells him to meet online there. Kite does so and meets up with Yasuhiko's character, Orca. Orca leads Kite to a 'newbie' field and teaches him the basics about playing The World.
Biography
After clearing the field, they enter the dungeon, where Orca teaches Kite about some of the more advanced aspects of the game. After retreiving the treasure in a dungeon level, they head for the exit, but they are waylaid by a glitch in the game. The field they are in becomes corrupted and Aura appears, trying to give Orca a book. Before having a chance to react, Skeith appears and Orca tries to fight him off, but gets Data Drained. Skeith turns on Kite, then a large white staff spears itself into the ground, and the program crashes. Kite passes out and is dropped into Net Slum. There a woman in white (Helba) wielding the staff watches as the book falls into Kite's inventory. When he wakes, he finds that Orca is gone, and that he is left with the book.
Kite logs out and discovers that his friend Yasuhiko has fallen into a coma. Kite logs back into The World to find answers. He later opens the book to save his new friend, BlackRose. The book is actually the Book of Twilight, the cultivation of six months of effort by Aura to grant the Data Drain ability to someone capable of defeating Morganna. It rewrites his player data with several powerful programs. His normal green clothes are changed into reddish-orange, with golden symbols written on the pants. His character data is also write-protected, preventing the most important parts of his character data from being modified or deleted. The most noticeable change to Kite's character is the addition of The Twilight Bracelet, an invisible item on his arm that allows him to Data Drain infected monsters to get "Virus Cores". Using these Virus Cores, he can Gate Hack with the bracelet into protected or sealed areas of the game.
Later Appearances
- In .hack//Legend of the Twilight, Shugo Kunisaki gains a chibi version of Kite's avatar.
- In the recent .hack//G.U. the character Tri-Edge resembles a more haggard version of Kite and is seen using an artifact similar to the shattered bracelet and triple bladed daggers (Now known as "Twin Fangs of the Void", or "of the Haze".). This character has been referred to as "Kite of the Azure Flame", but the connection this character has to Kite is at this time unknown.
