[edit] Weapons
[edit] Kali-Yuga and Dvapara-Yuga
Kali-Yuga and Dvapara-Yuga were two of the Ling-Sheng Su Temple's
treasures. (Krita-Yuga being the third. See Xianghua's bio.) When the Evil
Seed corrupted Kilik and Kali-Yuga, the only things that kept him from going
completely berserk was the power of Dvapara-Yuga, along with Kilik's inner
strength.
If Kali-Yuga had fallen into the hands of someone else, it would have meant the creation on another weapon like Soul Edge.
Equipped with the rod that had taken his sworn sister's life, and the mirror she had given him along with her life, Kilik departed for the west to find answers for himself.

[edit] Stages
[edit] Story
Kilik was raised at the Ling-Sheng Su Temple. He was chosen to inherit the Kali-Yuga, one of the three sacred treasures of the temple, after many long years of rigorous training.
However, after the Evil Seed rained down on the temple, it caused it's members to lose their sanity and a bloodbath ensued.
Kilik was driven insane by the evil seed as well. In his rage, and with his great skills, he killed many temple members. Xianglian put the Dvapara-Yuga on Kilik, and he regained his sanity. Unfortunately, the temple members were still evil, so Kilik was forced to kill many of them in self defense. Without the protection of the Dvapara-Yuga, Xianglian was one of the people Kilik was forced to kill.
When he awoke, the old man who had saved him (Edge Master) told him the truth. Kilik and Kali-Yuga were infected with the evil seed. The only thing protecting him was the Dvapara-Yuga, which was slung around his shoulder. And the source of all this evil was the demonic sword, Soul Edge!
After training with the old man, and learning to control the evil within himself and Kali-Yuga, embarked on a quest to purify himself and his weapon.
[edit] Ending
Inferno is about to spread the Evil Seed again, but Kilik uses the Dvapara-Yuga to extinguish the flames. He goes on another journey to tame the evil within himself.
[edit] Canon Ending
Kilik defeats Nightmare, but Xianghua defeats Inferno. Kilik goes back to Edge Master to continue training.
With the help of Maxi and Xianghua, Kilik defeated Nightmare. He then returned to Edge Master's hermitage, where he continued to perfect the technique of neutralizing and purifying evil energy. One day, however, he sensed the return of the malevolent Soul Edge.
Kilik set out on another journey to defeat Soul Edge for good, for he wanted to atone for his sins. (Killing most of the Ling-Sheng Su Temple.)
[edit] Ending
Kilik absorbs the evil energy within Soul Edge, then leaves on a quest to purify himself and Kali-Yuga.
His ending description clearly states: "He plunges headfirst into the vortex of destiny. His gentle eyes reveal a man of strong will."
[edit] Canon Ending
He was beaten by Zasalamel
On his quest, Kilik met up with Xianghua. Their differing opinions caused them to argue, but they became traveling companions again, anyway. While his mind was filled with questions, he worked with Xianghua, and, using his fragment of the Dvapara-Yuga, purified the minds of the residents of a city, who had lost their minds.
Then, a man with a scythe appeared. "You who are close to the spirit sword - leave this place. A great evil is poised to sweep over this land. Without your mirror, you cannot infuse you weapon with power. The man possessed an extraordinarily forceful presence, but Kilik refused to back down. They fought. Kilik lost.
"I see you possess arts for purifying evil, but do not underestimate the evil of the sword. If you challenge it unprepared, you will surely find yourself trapped within it's dark abyss." That was the last thing Kilik heard as he lost consciousness.
When he awoke, Kilik found himself in a familiar setting. He was in Edge Master's hermitage. He learned what had happened from his teacher. After the battle, Xianghua had carried him there. Sensing a terrible energy radiating from his wounds, Edge Master had performed a secret ceremony to purify him. An entire month had passes since then.
Kilik realized his lack of skill. He realized that his purifying arts alone wouldn't be enough to defeat Soul Edge, if he, himself, was not strong. As he thought to himself, he casually placed his hand on his chest. It was at that point that he realized that his fragment of the Dvapara-Yuga was gone.
"Xianglian..." The face of the woman who had sacrificed herself to the evil sword appeared in his mind. For her sake, and for the sake of the people of the Ling-Sheng Su Temple, he could not give up. But what could he do. The cursed energy that abated him wasn't gone. In fact, it felt as if it were spreading. There was no time to waste. Reading Kilik's thoughts (huh?), Edge Maser quietly ordered him to begin rigorous training. His teacher intentionally surrounded himself with evil energy, becoming like someone infected by the Evil Seed. Kilik had to face his master with nothing more than his staff. It was the most difficult training he had ever endured, but he had to overcome it in order to get stronger.
Edge Master's power was unbelievable. Fast as lightning. Strong as a wild beast. With the spirit of a raging hurricane. Kilik quickly realized that he must focus on purifying his master.
Within three months, Kilik succeeded in striking his master with a purifying blow but he wounded him deeply at the same time. Edge Master explained that Kilik still lacked skill. A better strike would have purified the mind, and left the body unharmed. However, he had done well for such a short period of time. After tending to his wounds, he handed Kilik a new fragment of the Dvapara-Yuga, and a not from Xianghua. With her words in his heart, Kilik set out West once more.
"I'm sorry, Kilik I couldn't do anything. I will work on my skills,
grow stronger, and regain my courage. For now, please go on ahead without me.
I'm sure that we'll meet again. And next time, let's put an end to all of
this. I believe in us. I know that we can do it, if we're together..."
[edit] Ending
Kilik and Xianghua visit Xianglian's grave. Kilik wonders if they did the right think. Xianghua assured him that of course they did, and that this is only the beginning. She stumbles and is about to fall....
[edit] Input Ending
He catches her. He tells her that he wants her to stay with him. They hug.
[edit] Non-Input Ending
She does so. Kilik laughs at her. She say's he's hopeless. Maxi appears. He remembers them now. They all leave.
[[{{#ev.youtube|seUd4wMh0kw}}]]
[edit] Alternate Ending
If you press BG instead of AG Kilik will catch Xianghua, but they will immediately look away from each other in embarrassment. The same dialogue as in the Input Ending applies.
[edit] Trivia
- The Dvapara-Yuga was destroyed to suppress Inferno. Kilik had learned to suppress the evil within himself at this point, so he didn't need it any more.
- Before Edge Master is unlocked in SC1, Kilik's destined battle is Nightmare.
- Up until 10 years before SC1, the Ling-Sheng Su temple was cut off from the rest of the world. One day, the neighbouring town was attacked by thieves, so the temple members agreed to help the villagers. Now they accept anyone that has a strong fighting spirit. It has become customary for the children of soldiers to go there to practice, and for farmers and merchants to learn some basic skills to protect themselves.
- Kilik was abandoned at the front of the temple when he was a baby. The monks took him in and raised him. Xianglian was another orphan, and she and Kilik were very close because of this.
- Kilik actually served as a teacher at the temple, as well as a student.
- Kilik's favorite place in the temple was on top of the stone wall behind the main hall. He would often go there to think or to cheer himself up whenever he was sad. Xianglian liked it there too.
- Xianglian's father was a high ranking monk who stole the Krita-Yuga from the temple. When she found out, Master Han told her that she should not let the actions of her parents ruin her, and that she should "Cut her own path in life." She would have been the successor of the sword, but she didn't want it. She was nominated to be he successor of the mirror instead. In order to be the Dvapara-Yuga's successor, you need a strong mind and spirit, as opposed to the good fighting skills necessary for the sword and rod.
- The evil seed actually rained down on the temple the night before the succession ceremony.
- When Kilik learned that Xianglian had placed the Dvapara-Yuga on his shoulder, giving up her own life to save him, he wondered why he should bother to live.
- Xianglian was older than Kilik.
- If anyone besides Kilik (and maybe Edge Master) were to handle the Kali-Yuga, It would turn into another Soul Edge.
- For a little more on what happened to Kilik on his Soul Calibur 1 journey, see Xianghua and Maxi's respective bios.
- Kilik is commonly associated with the color red, being that it is his favorite color and the color of his weapon and pre-SCIV clothing.
- Kilik's name is a palindrome, it spells the same backwards.
- Although she is supposedly dead, Kilik encounters Xianglian in his story mode in Soulcalibur IV
- Kilik shares many attacks with the character Seung Mina, although who "copies" who is a lot harder to answer than it first appears. On the one hand, in all games that have contained both Mina and Kilik as characters, Kilik has been one of the starting characters, while Mina has been an unlockable character, thus giving the impression that she is the "clone" character. However Seung Mina was introduced in Soul Blade which was released before Kilik's debut game Soul Calibur meaning he is the clone character. On the other hand; most of the attacks that Mina has that makes her similar to Kilik were given to her after Soul Calibur - furthermore they were taught to her by people who had previously trained Kilik, meaning that they where his attacks orginally.
