Pit: Difference between revisions

===Physical Appearance===

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. Since his reappearance in ''Brawl'', he was given a major redesign by [[Masahiro Sakurai]]. Pit now looks to be around 13 years old (in human years)<ref>http://www.4gamer.net/games/113/G011330/20110108010/</ref>, and has large blue eyes and many tufts in his hair. His chiton remains white, now decorated with red and gold hems on the bottom. It is fastened on the shoulder by a single gold pin with a ruby-like gem embedded on it. He wears the outfit with a brown belt with silver edges and a gold, triangular buckle on his waist. Pit also appears to wear navy blue tights beneath his chiton. The angel now has a pair of bronze 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.

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. Although not the smartest angel around, he is shown to be quite knowledgeable with video games, particularly from other Nintendo franchises. He also has a large appetite and will eat almost anything regardless of where it comes from. He is also a devout lover of hot springs, which Palutena (and once, Viridi) will occasionally conjure up for him. Pit is shown to strongly follow 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.  

Despite Pit being a flightless angel, he is still a skilled and versatile fighter. He originally started out as an archer that mainly specialized in using the Bow, but over the years he has become more experienced with using various weapons like the [[Blade]], [[Claws]], [[Cannon]], etc. Even though Pit has a childish appearance, he seems to possess great physical strength, and is capable of utilizing massive weapons like the [[Arm]] or [[Club]]. The angel has also learned to use impressive abilities and magic known as [[Powers]] which are granted by Palutena.

At the beginning of the first game, Pit began as a young angel boy, trapped in the [[Underworld]]. Palutena, the Goddess of Light, had been imprisoned, so she entrusted Pit with a magical [[Bow]] and the duty of gathering the [[Three Sacred Treasures]], defeating the Dark Goddess [[Medusa]] and saving [[Angel Land]]. Pit must journey through the Underworld, [[Overworld]], [[Skyworld]], and finally, the [[Palace in the Sky]] in order to gather the Three Sacred Treasures and free Palutena.

Pit learns quickly from Palutena that the Underworld Army had come forth, signaling 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]], then confronts Medusa and tells her that "her days of darkness are numbered," and he would defeat her. 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 later finds that Gaol was actually a human woman. However, before he could learn more, Palutena extracts him from battle.
