Pit: Difference between revisions

In earlier games, Pit appeared as a very young-looking, cherubic angel wearing a simple white chiton with a pair of sandals, and metal cuffs. He had short brown hair, and small white wings that are incapable of flight. In ''Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters'' and beyond, he dons a gold laurel crown. Since his reappearance in ''Brawl'', he was given a major redesign by [[Masahiro Sakurai]]. Pit now looks to be a boy in his early teens, approximately 13 years of age<ref>http://www.4gamer.net/games/113/G011330/20110108010/</ref>, with a height around 160 cm (5'3") tall <ref>http://www.kidicaruswiki.org/File:KIUCharacterHeightChart.png</ref>. Sakurai used [[zeldawiki:Link|Link]] from [[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda (series)|''The Legend of Zelda'']] series as a guide for Pit's current look (including the approval of Pit's [[Toru Osawa|creator]])<ref>http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/15390/sakurai-speaks-on-brawl-character-development</ref>. The modern design has blue eyes and many tufts in Pit's hair including a single unruly cowlick. His chiton remains white, now decorated with red and gold hems with vine-like patterns. It is fastened on the shoulder by a single gold [[wikipedia:fibula (brooch)|fibula]] with a red-colored gem embedded on it. He wears the outfit with a brown belt and a gold, triangular buckle. Pit also appears to wear a close-fitting navy blue undershirt and shorts beneath his chiton. The angel now has a pair of brown and gold cuffs on his wrists, a gold bracelet on his upper left arm, and another gold ring on his right thigh. Pit's sandals are brown and decorated with crossing, beige bands. The top edges of his shoes have what appears to be white fur or wool.

Pit learns quickly from Palutena that the Underworld Army had come forth, signalling Medusa's return. At Palutena's request, Pit leaves Skyworld using the [[Power of Flight]] and heads to [[That First Town]], where he finds that the humans haven't lost hope and are cheering the return of the Goddess of Light. Pit fights through the town and defeats [[Twinbellows]]. Pit then heads off to [[Dark Lord Gaol's Castle]] to aid the humans in their battles against the Underworld Army and meets [[Magnus]], a powerful human fighter whom he teams up with to defeat [[Gaol]], but finds that Gaol was actually a human woman.  

Unfortunately, before he can celebrate, Pit finds himself having been turned into a [[Ring of Chaos|ring of sorts]]. However, a [[girl]] comes across the ring and put it on, causing Pit to take control of her. He finds that a nearby human town is under attack and sees the Centurions among the chaos, then decides to investigate. However, the girl trips and falls, losing the ring, and it is picked up by a [[dog]]. Using the dog, he hurries to the town and finds that [[Pit's Body|his body]] is attacking the town, much to his confusion. He then finds Magnus, who seems reluctant to take the ring, but Magnus eventually puts it on. The two then find out Pit has taken control of Magnus's body and they can communicate, so Magnus explains that three years had gone by since they met, and Palutena had apparently disappeared for a time, and later returned with her army to fight against the humans. The two then decide to work together to defeat Pit's Body.  

Pit dons the Three Sacred Treasures once again and heads out to confront Hades, but Hades ends up destroying the Treasures a short time into the fight and ultimately eats the angel. Pit fights his way though Hades's bowels until he comes across the god's [[Hades' Heart|heart]], which he defeats. Once the battle is over, Dark Pit saves him using the Lightning Chariot and Palutena retrieves them both.  

Having lost the Three Sacred Treasures, Palutena sends Pit to the smith god who created them, [[Dyntos]]. Once there, Dyntos challenges Pit to pass three trials, involving Pit's proving himself by defeating recreations of former enemies and bosses along with the new weapon itself. Pit triumphs and claims the [[Great Sacred Treasure]], a robotic weapon that he mans from the inside. Pit uses it to head out and confront Hades once more, and manages to weaken the Lord of the Underworld significantly. Unfortunately, Hades all but destroys the Great Sacred Treasure and prepares an attack that will ultimately end Pit, but a revived Medusa shows up and stops him before he destroys her. Palutena instructs Pit to take the cannon of the Great Sacred Treasure and focuses her power to charge it as Viridi gives Pit the Power of Flight. Once the charge is complete, Pit fires it and defeats Hades, bringing the war to an end.
