Asuka R♯ is a playable character in the Guilty Gear series, appearing in Guilty Gear -Strive-. He is an almost exact duplicate of That Man, a scientist who created the Gears and has been accused for starting a hundred-year war known as the Crusades.
Design[]
Appearance wise Asuka is identical to That Man save for a few differences; his left eye is blue instead of gold, his Rose Cross has five pink wings arranged in a circular pattern around a light yellow coin with a cross engraved on it instead of five red wings and a golden coin, and (perhaps most importantly) his hair has a subtle pinkish tint at the back. His outfit is much more subdued but still priestly in nature. Below a thigh-length, white hooded haori robe, he wears a black cassock decorated with white and gold crosses, as well as a black kimono and hakama with dark red pleats. He also wears white trainers with black, red and yellow accents as well as black gloves. His playable model, which has a subtly altered colour palette, adds a floating cloak (apparently made by himself[4]) decorated with belts and crosses and featuring an interior that resembles a slowly shifting starfield.
Personality[]
Asuka R♯ is nearly an exact copy of Asuka R. Kreutz otherwise known as "That Man". He shares the thoughts, memories, ideals, and nearly exact personality traits. The main key difference being that he is specifically programmed by Asuka to be more socially active and also lack a moral compass meaning he is unable to tell right from wrong. This is so he is not held back by the same feelings of guilt and self-loathing thoughts that currently plague the mind of Asuka. Incidentally, this allowed Asuka R♯ to grow into his own person coming around to having interests and hobbies of his own and finding happiness. However, he also comes to realize this had less to do with himself and more to do with Asuka's internal struggles that he lacked emotional understanding of. He does question the nature of his existence and why Asuka created him, but he does not resent him for doing so. Asuka R♯ does care a lot for his creator and spends a great deal of time trying to show Asuka why life is still worth living even after all he's done.
Story[]
Background[]
An artificial human created by Asuka R. Kreutz, also known as "That Man."
Their biological properties are essentially the same, and he retains Asuka R. Kreutz's memories. However, his somewhat elevated sense of curiosity leads him to a different mindset than the original Asuka R. Kreutz.
His scientific knowledge and technical skills are comparable to the original, meaning he would be capable of creating new artificial humans himself. The third subject Asuka encounters in the simulation, however, has no physical form and only exists within the simulation.
Currently, he is gathering experimental data on Earth for Asuka R. Kreutz's new research he is conducting from outer space, the Battle Method Turing test.
