'''Pit''' (ピット ''Pitto'') is the protagonist | '''Pit''' (ピット ''Pitto'') is the main protagonist of the ''[[Kid Icarus (series)|Kid Icarus series]]'', first appearing in ''[[Kid Icarus]]'' for the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1987 (1986 on the Famicom), followed by an appearance in ''[[Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters]]'' for the Game Boy in 1991. Other than a handful of cameos in other Nintendo games, Pit did not appear again until the release of ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', seventeen years after ''Of Myths and Monsters'', in which he was one of the first newcomers shown and one of the starter characters. | ||
Pit is [[Palutena]]'s most loyal servant, as well as the captain of her royal bodyguards. He is sometimes erroneously referred to as "Kid Icarus" in reference to the English title of the series. Pit is always armed with his trusty [[Bow]] and [[Arrow of Strength|arrows]] and prefers ranged combat, though he has demonstrated a fair amount of melee capability. | Pit is [[Palutena]]'s most loyal servant, as well as the captain of her royal bodyguards.

In earlier games, Pit appeared as a young, cherubic angel wearing a simple white chiton with a pair of sandals, and metal cuffs. He has 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.

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. | ||
===Personality=== | ===Personality=== | ||
Like most [[Nintendo]] protagonists, Pit is typically goodhearted, selfless, and heroic. He is generally very upbeat no matter what the situation (although he can be genuinely serious when needed), which certain characters, including both foe and ally, can find it a nuisance. Pit frequently banters, cracks jokes, makes outrageous puns, and constantly breaks the fourth wall. Pit also deeply cares about the human race and is willing to do anything to keep them safe. His loyalty to Palutena is matched by no other, and he always addresses her as "Lady Palutena". Pit even states the main reason he fights in the first place is because of her. However, his absolute trust and dependence on Palutena has shown to be a major weakness, as Pit's courage and morale (and in some cases, his sanity) will severely drop if she is not present. Although not the smartest angel around, he is shown to be quite knowledgeable with video games, particularly from other Nintendo franchises. Even at one point, he was called a "video game historian". Pit also has a large appetite and will eat almost anything regardless of where it comes from. He is shown to be a devout lover of hot springs, which Palutena (and once, Viridi) will occasionally conjure up for him. Pit strongly follows the "angel's code of conduct" to the point he even refuses to remove his clothes when entering water. However, the truth behind this is because the angel is frugal and wants to save on laundry. | Like most [[Nintendo]] protagonists, Pit is typically goodhearted, selfless, and heroic.

Pit learns quickly from Palutena that the Underworld Army had come forth, signalling Medusa's return.

While there, he runs into the dreaded [[Eggplant Wizard]], lamenting his past with this creature. He continues on to defeat the [[Great Reaper]], thus completing his mission. | ||
Having found Pandora's [[Labyrinth of Deceit]], Palutena sends Pit there next but both encounter mind-boggling troubles within the labyrinth. Once he reaches his destination, Palutena later explains that they're looking for the [[Mirror of Truth]], an object that creates a copy of the true thoughts and feelings of whomever looks into it, and that the Underworld is using it to duplicate monsters. Pit reaches Pandora and defeats her once, and she shows him the Mirror of Truth, which he destroys it. However, just as he does, the Mirror casts a reflection of him and creates [[Dark Pit]]. Instead of following Pandora's orders, Dark Pit hits her and teams up with Pit to defeat her. However, as soon as she falls, Dark Pit knocks Pit back. Pit argues that he is the original, but Dark Pit ignores him and dives through Pandora's remnants, gaining an ability of his own to fly indefinitely, and he leaves before Pit can pursue him. Palutena tracks Dark Pit down and sends Pit after him, fearing that he may be allied with the Underworld Army, but an exchange between Dark Pit and Medusa reveals that he has no intentions of aligning himself with her.

Palutena and Pit return to the focus of defeating Medusa and he heads for the [[Seafloor Palace]], meeting [[Poseidon]] along the way before he enters the [[Seafloor Palace|palace]] to defeat [[Thanatos]], who has the [[Underworld Key]], a gem that allows the owner to travel into the Underworld. Pit defeats him and claims the key, but learns from Palutena that he'll need the [[Three Sacred Treasures]] to challenge Medusa along with the fact that said weapons were stolen by the [[Space Pirates]].

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.

Pit heads into the Chaos Vortex to pursue the Chaos Kin and eventually tracks it down, only to have it disappear for a time and trap him within an endurance battle between him and itself. Dark Pit shows up later to help him through it, and the two defeat the Chaos Kin. However, as Pit is checking on Palutena, the remnants of the Chaos Kin capture Dark Pit and send him off the edge of the platform the three were on. Without a second thought, Pit jumps after him and begs Viridi to let him fly. Viridi refuses, telling him that it would just cause his wings to catch fire. Pit doesn't care, realizing that the Chaos Kin was only going to destroy Dark Pit, and Viridi reluctantly gives him the Power of Flight. Pit catches Dark Pit and Viridi sends them back to Skyworld with Palutena, and they find that Pit's wings had been badly burned. Palutena cradles his unconscious body, lamenting the state of her captain and remembering his former wish—to fly on his own. | Pit heads into the Chaos Vortex to pursue the Chaos Kin and eventually tracks it down, only to have it disappear for a time and trap him within an endurance battle between him and itself.

*Pit also draws inspiration from [[wikipedia:Icarus|Icarus]], the figure for whom the series is named: For example, at the end of ''Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters'', Pit flies up toward the sun, and his wings fall off. This alludes to the story of Icarus, whose wax-and-feather wings allowed him to fly, but, caught up in the moment, he disobeyed his father, Daedalus, and flew too close to the sun, causing the wax holding the wings together to fall off, causing him to plummet to his death. A similar allusion is made in ''Uprising'', when Palutena notes that the Power of Flight can only sustain Pit for five minutes before his wings burn up, causing him to fall, and he must reach his destination before that happens. | *Pit also draws inspiration from [[wikipedia:Icarus|Icarus]], the figure for whom the series is named: For example, at the end of ''Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters'', Pit flies up toward the sun, and his wings fall off.
