How beautifully cheesy that the lead character of this game is an antihero whose surname is "Badguy". And whose hobby is "Listening to Queen" (In the profile for Guilty Gear Isuka it's down as "Listening to Rock N Roll"). He will, he will rock you! No, I'm serious. His headplate has ROCK YOU written on it.
Sol's real name is Frederick (Sorry, forgot to warn you about spoilers didn't I?) and is supposed to be an important figure in the Gear project, which would explain why he runs around hunting the Gears down... (???). Also, every time he meets I-no, he gets really peeved, while she gets all "Hi Sol! Long time no see! *smile smile*". Ky on the other hand always wants to kick his face off but he never seems to give a crap about it; he's too busy chasing after Justice/I-no/That Man.
I think Sol is that one character that everyone universally likes in these games, and with good reason. First of all, take a quick look at the guy. I've never seen a costume quite like that; granted the hair's been done before but apart from the one that dumbass from Yu-Gi-Oh has, EVERY hairstyle has been done before. Next, look at his weapon. A cricket bat. A cricket bat that draws blood on people every time it hits, and that shoots fire. I'm surprised that our badass pyromaniac friend hasn't burned the thing (or himself) to ashes... cricket bats are made outta wood, are they not? Anyway. If you're still not convinced, turn on the game and play as him for like, twenty seconds. If you still don't think he's a total badass after playing as him, close this browser window right now and get the hell out of my website, because you're a heathenistic retard. And I reserve the right to call you that even though I've never heard Stairway To Heaven by Led Zeppelin, because what you're doing is just wrong.
Best moment: "Actually, I am the ultimate badass, not you."
Sol vanquishes Justice, who starts demanding "Damn it Sol, I'm the prototype gear! And since you're a Gear I'm supposed to have full control over you and whatnot! What gives?" Sol gives him a little kick in the face and says "Because I am the prototype, not you. You've got no control over me, and I'm more badass than you'll ever be." Justice is like "Shit" and dies. And from then on we know just exactly why Sol is so badass. It also explains why he's lived long enough to forget when his birthday is.
Rating: 10. Sol kicks ass. Anyone who can kill people with minimal effort using a cricket bat deserves some damn credit. Incidentally, I've done a load of those "Which character are you?" tests on the internet, and I always come up as either Sol or Testament.
Theme songs: "Keep Yourself Alive", "Keep Yourself Alive II" and "Starchaser". All the versions of KYA suck; they're boring and shitty, and although they do kind of have this badass tone to them that personnifies Sol pretty well, so does "Awe Of She", and that tune wasn't boring. Starchaser is miles better though. Too bad you can only hear it on #Reload really, but it was about damn time he got something good. So instead, picture Sol having a good ol' mosh (or whatever you call it in your country) next time you hear that famous rock-out sequence in Bohemian Rhapsody.

How many times do I use the word "badass" in total in this one article? Answers on a postcard!
