Daichi (EntityTopic, 24)
From Compile Worlds
Daichi is the main protagonist of Puyo Wars, and also a new protagonist(?) in Compile Worlds. Debuting in Episode 28, he was abducted from his home world by the malevolent Ekoro through a portal. He is friends with Puyorin and Sho, and is currently stuck in Primp, traveling with Draco Centauros in the meanwhile.
Biography
Daichi was born as a synthetic lifeform an unknown amount of time before the events of Puyo Wars. He remained dormant in a capsule until The Professor excavated him from the ruins.* He was then born and raised by Professor as a normal human boy, completely ignorant of his origins. This all changed one day after meeting Puyorin and Angol Mois in the Northern Forest, one warning of a catastrophe, and the other stalking him. After reporting this to his "father", his body suddenly shrinks to the size of a Puyo. Daichi, after learning Angol is using Puyo in horrible experiments to take over the world, sets out to put an end to the crazy man's plans, making friends with Marin and Sho along the way. Eventually, he defeats Angol, resulting in the Planetary Gods of Gaias banishing him to the Abyss, and Daichi finally got to rest easy...briefly, anyway.
Daichi is a good-natured character. Despite this, Daichi can sometimes be a blockhead and act rash or be ignorant of certain social cues. Daichi is also easily fascinated by technology or Puyo, and can sometimes get distracted by something interesting to him. He lends a hand out to others when he can, and will defend his beliefs that everyone is equal, as shown when Gypsum made a resentful remark at Ekoro's clones. Despite being able to act like an idiot, Daichi has a good head on his shoulders, thinking tactically in certain situations and being able to build and operate machinery.
In the RP, Daichi has yet to engage in any physical combat. However, his hobby in building tectars is strongly hinted at by his fascination with Nanako's FGF Helicopter. In Puyo Wars, he (or his tectar?) is capable of summoning various types of laser beams from nowhere. Since he is a synthetic life form like Angol, he is also capable of drawing upon those powers, but not on his own.
Etymology
Daichi is a common given name in Japan. In Daichi's case it is in the form of 大地, which means "great land". This puns with Sho and Marin's names, who relate to the sky land sea respectively. (Sure is Kingdom Hearts in here)
