Knives

Appearance: Knives is a tall man with short blond hair and blue eyes. He is the same height as his brother, Vash. He does not wear any clothes, however he has 'plant skin' which looks like a white turtleneck full body suit with a intricate pattern displayed across it that can glow when he interacts and communicates with other plants. Knives can also mimic clothing by using bladed tendrils as armor which coil around him and give him the appearance of wearing a cloak, however, this 'cloak' is not made of fabric, and is made of razor sharp blades that can unravel at any moment and strike, however, once they unravel, it removes cloak and armor.

Personality: As a child, Knives was a kind and caring boy much like Vash, but more naïve. Knives was more curious about Humans than Vash and wondered if they'd accept them while studying Earth's history. Knives' hatred towards humans began when he and his brother discovered the abused remains of Tesla, an independent Plant that was "born" before himself and Vash. Both of the boys were shocked when they discover Tesla, and, seeing what the humans did to her, caused Knives to develop a distrust of humans because of their cruelty and lack of self-control. Seeing Tesla's abuse also caused Knives to begin inflicting pain on himself whenever he was left alone.

Knives' resentment towards humans begins when a SEEDS crewmember, Steve, began abusing him. After Knives finds out that Steve was also (verbally) abusing Vash, he begins to question why he is really "here". While Rem cuts Vash's hair for the first time, Knives leaves while they are talking and comes to a realization that "it is all wrong". After Vash finds him and discovers that Knives had cut his own hair, Knives explains that he had a change of heart. While in the Recreation Room of Project SEEDS, Vash, Knives, and Rem notice that a butterfly is caught in a spider's web. Seeing Vash's attempt to save the butterfly, Knives instead kills the spider, saying that it was "the easiest way to save it". After the incident with Roen and Mary, Knives agreed with Joey when he opened the airlock, sending a dead Mary and Roen (still in his crazed stupor) into space. Despite having thought that he did the appropriate thing himself, Joey then began to think if Rem was right, saying that Roen wouldn't have shot her. Knives then kill Joey and alters the ship's course so it would crash into the planet. However, Rem is able to save the passengers and changes Project SEEDS's course so it wouldn't crash, ruining Knives' plan to kill everyone on the ship.

Knives is portrayed as a psychopathic, cruel, and sadistic character, even to his allies, the Gung-Ho-Guns. Even though Knives despises humans, he still retains a brotherly relationship with Vash, and wants him to join in on his quest to eliminate humanity for what they have done to the Plants. It is also subtly hinted that he still holds affection for Rem, though it is deeply buried by his misanthropy and insanity.

After Knives and Vash escape the SEEDS ship, they crash land on the planet Gunsmoke, not far from the other ships. Knives talks with Vash about joining him in destroying the Human race. However, upset that Rem had just passed away, Vash refuses, but follows Knives since he does not want to be alone.

After fifteen years of wandering Gunsmoke, Knives and his brother come across a specific piece of a SEEDS ship. Leaving Vash alone, Knives goes alone into the ship in search of two .45 Long Colt revolvers. After a year of searching, Knives returns and gives a silver revolver to Vash, keeping a black one for himself. However, Vash was uncomfortable having a gun (keeping the pacifistic ideals that Rem had taught him) and shoots Knives in his right thigh. Terrified that he had hurt another (especially his brother), Vash runs away, leaving an injured Knives behind.

Abilities Knives understands his origins and powers better than his brother Vash, and as a result, he knows how to tap into his powers and create weapons such as the Angel Arms. The catalyst required to activate them is hidden above the barrels of he and Vash's revolvers. These power cores, when held in either of their hands, transforms the guns into weapons with immense destructive potential. It can cause their arms to morph into miniature versions of one of the SEEDS guns, the true power of the Angel Arm. Even at 13% of its maximum output, the results are nothing less than devastating.

Knives is also a powerful telepath, using his ability to manipulate other plants, evident in two flashbacks when he almost causes a plant to combust in order to kill humans, and the instance in which he manipulates Vash's Angel Arm. He can also use this power on humans, evident when Knives kills the crew members on a SEED ship one by one via manipulation and the apparent insanity that the crew members seem to suffer from.

The Angel Arm is a natural ability of a plant, and does not require a special revolver to utilize. Knives' power manifests itself as an array of monomolecular wire/extremely sharp blades. Also, Knives further learns how to increase his power by merging with other plants, demonstrated on multiple occasions where he absorbs his "sisters" into his left arm, taking their power source into his. This power, however, includes a side effect; when using his power, parts of the plants he has absorbed can be seen. Arms, legs, and the occasional horrified face peek through the cloak he wears from his left shoulder to keep it concealed. Later he tries to use this ability to absorb his brother, Vash, yet he is almost overpowered due to Vash's more potent "flow." In this instance Legato steps in to pull Knives away from the brink before he is lost.

Knives, as his name suggests, is able to summon bladed tendrils to come out of his back, they can stretch to near impossible lengths and the blades are both sharp and strong enough to cut straight through rock and metal. He can also ravel these blades up to form a protective armor around himself that resembles something similar to a cloak with a hood. He also has retractable wolverine-like claws that sprout from his knuckles which can also slice through almost any material.

The Eye of Michael is a cult that worships Knives and provides him with assassins. Members take titles reflective of their guns. Not much is known about the origins of the group. They appear to have been based on Catholic teachers. Full members are modified to drastically increase their physical strength and speed beyond human limits and to gain advanced regeneration supplemented by drug vials for extreme wounds. However, the modifications cause members to age at an accelerated pace. In addition, members are trained to continuously analyze opponents and adapt to situations, such that the same tricks will never work twice.

Relationships: Vash the Stampede He loves Vash and believes he is misguided, just as Vash cares about Knives and believes him to be misguided. Knives is shocked and saddened by Vash's scars, which become a new testament to his beliefs. He does, however, have genuine interest in Vash's ideology, whether it be out of disgust or fascination, as he continues to ask Vash why he continues to try and save humanity, a lost cause in Knives' eyes. He wants Vash to pay for shooting him, but other than that, Knives’ main goal is convincing Vash to join his side - something he realizes he will never be able to do as the story progresses.

Underground is where prisoners are held and experimented on by Dr. Conrad, the lead scientist who is assisting Knives in his master plan to eradicate all Humans and populate the planet with his own species, plants. The more 'homely' rooms are dedicated for the upper levels of the sky-scraper, however, there is also a plantroom which is a restricted area that holds many dormant plants which will aid Knives in his plan.

July is a bustling city with neon lights and a beautiful atmosphere.

The planet Gunsmoke has several cities, Inepril, May, July, Augusta, Octovern, November and December.

Most of the planet Gunsmoke is inhabitable, consisting of wastelands and dunes.

What is a plant? A plant is a humanoid creature which was made by humans to help human survive in inhabitable places like Gunsmoke. There are two types of plants, dependent plants and independent plants. Vash and Knives are the only known Independent plants meaning independent plants are sentient, possessing free will and the ability to use their Plant powers whenever they wish. Independent plants have the ability to survive outside their carrier, dependent plants rely on the carrier to survive. A carrier is a large orb filled with fluid that the plant resides in. Dependent plants are not sentient, humans use them in many ways and they are called plants after the root word 'powerplant' because of the various necessities they provide humans with, such as water, electricity and more. If a dependent plant is used too much will become distressed, stress will kill it, it will turn red when it is stressed. Independent plants like vash and knives are able to shed their plant skin, however, knives chooses not to shed his and does not wear clothes like vash does.
