JKD

JKD is the main character and the creator of The Amazing World of JKD. He is part of the Ultrasons, being the first child Silver and Blaze had. He is a student at Quackmore Junior High. He has a crush on Amongusfan1121.

Early concept
Originally, JKD was meant to be a blue rabbit. Not much thought was put into this choice as it was more of a placeholder than a final design. As the creators developed the character further, they decided to make him a black human, as it fit the personality they had in mind for him: unlucky, but optimistic. The creators found this trait to be too restricting in terms of possible plots and stories. In addition, a silhouette human would be "hard to read" on the backgrounds planned for the show.

The decision was finally reached to have him Cyan, a decision that the show creator, JKD [in real life] liked, because he thought Cyan was not a color usually found on Kirbies, and it had a "70's-80's Japanese mascot" sort of feel.

Final design
In the actual show, JKD is a cyan Kirby. On his oversized body, he has lined eyes, but only dotted eyes, looking derpy, are visible half of the time. He usually wears black shoes. He is, along with Kirby and Silver, one of the three Ultrasons without visible eyelashes, although, in some episodes, he is seen with visible eyelashes, like in "The Refund" and "The Boss." The inside of his mouth is pink and his tongue is light pink.

Appearances in the show
He has appeared in almost every single episode except for the following:


 * 1) The Singing
 * 2) The Sucker
 * 3) The Spinoffs

Personality
JKD is a very imaginative person. Despite his mediocre academic performance, he can be surprisingly brilliant when it comes to formulating all sorts of mischievous schemes. This side of him can be seen in episodes such as "The Plan," in which he quickly formulates a basic outline to he and his siblings plan to "save" their mother, and in "The Scam," in which he forms a crafty scheme that will allow him to cleanly heist the town's candy effortlessly. Such a side may also suggest JKD is smarter than he lets on, as hinted by his expansive vocabulary, cooking skills, and ukulele skills as well.

JKD is also pretty optimistic. Despite his cynicism towards society itself, as seen in episodes such as "The Bumpkin" and "The Money," he is still fairly positive in what to expect out of people (though there are exceptions). When his family is financially suffering in "The Money," he reminds them of the joys of family and pushes them to be more optimistic. In "The Others," he is quick to reject Clare's notion of "no happy ending," only wanting to see her have a happy ending (no matter how forced it was). He's also happy to help others, as seen in "The Void," "The Upgrade," and "The Slide," in which in all three he went great lengths to assist Diko, Robot-346, and Papper, respectively.

In general, JKD is very protective of his loved ones. On multiple occasions, he is quick to go into a sort of "over-protective" mode whenever anybody tries to hurt his siblings, Kirby and Cream, as seen in "The Parasite," in which he tried to nearly poison Brody when he thought he was hurting Cream, or in "The Rerun,"in which he aimlessly tried to attack Shadow JKD out of rage when Kirby died.

JKD has a very sarcastic nature. He is quick to diffuse all sorts of quips towards others, ranging from fairly harmless to sometimes blunt and rude. As demonstrated in episodes such as "The Stories" and "The Test," these snarky comments are impulsive.

JKD also has a fairly massive ego, which seems to be a fault of his. When not tamed properly, his ego can drive him to do some pretty jerky things. Kirby tapping into his musical talents in "The Triangle" causes JKD to have short-lived jealousy towards him before he realizes he is wrong. His ego also explains his relationship with Balloon man; the fact that Balloon man is so effortlessly loved drives JKD to expose him for being scummier than he lets on (which later turns out to be accurate). This ego also makes him very sensitive, as seen in "The Meddler," in which he becomes an emotional wreck when he is told his cheerleading performance was terrible.
