Appearance: Warren is tall with a lightly tanned complexion. He has short and messy hair, a lean yet immensely muscular physique, and he almost always keeps a layer of scruff covering his lower face. He's marked by a unique, seemingly "supernatural" crest atop of his right hand that depicts an image much resembling the King of Hearts playing card. His body also dons many various battle scars from bullet wounds, blades, and flames. His taste in fashion varies, oftentimes wearing whatever is convenient or even just more efficient. Warren is seldom seen unarmed without a handgun or his late teacher Amado's cherished katana.
Personality: Though prideful and sometimes abrasive toward others, Warren is optimistic, he is kind, and he is a man of his word and convictions. Understanding he's become an accomplished warrior of the utmost caliber, he has a very relaxed and confident demeanor about him that can often toe the line of arrogance. He is also courageous, tenacious, impatient, passionate, and honest. Warren has grown increasingly reclusive over the decades, but he doesn't at all mind keeping company when it's with those he finds worthwhile. His sense of justice is strong, he detests needless death, and the prospect of a real challenge rarely fails to entice his impulsive desire for battle.
Biography: It was well over twenty years ago that a young, naive, and headstrong boy began his long and periled journey into becoming the wiser man he is today. Warren Douglas Biggs was only seventeen-years-old when he made the choice to quit school and enlist with the Maxwellian Intifada. He never knew his mother or father, having been orphaned by the war long before he was even old enough to remember them. He wished to better himself, and to help hurting people, and to finally bring the conflict consuming Earth to an end. After serving on the front lines for a few months as a ground infantryman, his unnatural prowess in hand-to-hand combat was eventually recognized by his superior officers. The decision was quickly made to utilize Warren's unrefined talent by having him make use of a one-of-a-kind mobile fighter prototype in battle. It turned out he was a Gundam Fighter, someone capable of manifesting and manipulating their body's energy in extreme ways... And thus Warren would go on to fight many battles, make his fair share of friends and enemies, and slowly but surely grow into a force to be reckoned with.
The campaign continued on for some time before Biggs began to sympathize with the ideals of the Space Frontier Republic, abandoning the Maxwellian Intifada and stealing their mobile fighter prototype before relocating to space. Once proving himself to be a beneficial addition to his new faction's ranks, he received outstanding acknowledgment for his accomplishments in battle and was often permitted prolonged leaves of absence to return to Earth and better hone his abilities. However, it was when he returned to the Earth that Warren came to understand just how much he needed to improve. He encountered several other Gundam Fighters over the course of his excursions back home that were leagues beyond him or anything he was capable of, often becoming an easy punching bag for them. It would have seemed that his feats were not as special as he had been led to believe... But rather than be discouraged by his brutal defeats, the boy only became hungry to learn and desperate to grow stronger. It was then he sought to become the student of an old woman residing in Okinawa, Japan that was rumored to be incredibly proficient in controlling ki. The old woman, Master Viel, reluctantly accepted his request and began the long and grueling process of teaching Warren everything she could from her vast experience. Though, little did Biggs know that he would need all the preparation he could get for what was coming next.
Several months later the head of the Space Frontier Republic, Louis Terrin, would call Warren away from his diligent training to undertake a special mission on Mars that only someone of his skill set could ever hope to pull off. He was tasked with infiltrating the heart of the Vexnal Corporation, a highly defended weapons research and development facility, and assassinating its CEO, Kyana Vexnal, for the attempted murder of Grand Admiral Terrin. Willing to take a bet on himself and his training, Warren embraced the mission and ventured alone to the red planet's surface. He breached the compound, destroyed the mechanized monstrosities within, and ultimately ended Vexnal as well as her company single-handed. When Biggs returned victorious he was hailed as a hero, he was promoted straight up the ranks, and he even became the official poster boy for the Space Frontier Republic. Most importantly though, he was rewarded with a superior mobile weapon: the God Gundam.
With no end to the bloodshed in sight, the Gundam Fighter continued to grow more and more powerful with each skirmish he participated. Suddenly he was no longer just another rookie; he was a champion with the accolades to prove it. Though despite his ever-inflating ego, Biggs continued to take every opportunity he could to return to Okinawa and learn more from Master Viel. However, Master Viel wouldn't remain his primary teacher for much longer. While stationed in the Asteroid Belt, he was approached by a mysterious mobile fighter and challenged to a bout by none other than the King of Hearts, leader of an ancient and secretive organization known as the Shuffle Alliance. The King of Hearts' name was Amado and he had heard much of the young man's exploits. Fairing well in their clash, he had apparently been tested and his skills were deemed worthy. It was from then on that Warren began his tutelage under his latest instructor.
Warren Biggs continued to constantly break his body's limits and push beyond to new heights with Master Amado's training. Whenever there was a challenge too great, Amado was always there to guide his pupil through it. He very much became like the father figure he never had, as well as his best friend. After less than a year, the King of Hearts finally revealed his initial intentions of passing down his moniker and crest to Warren. Honored, he accepted and vowed to fulfill his newfound duty to protect Earth and humanity from destruction as a member of the Shuffle Alliance.
It was only weeks later during a large-scale assault against the Space Frontier Republic led by the Judas Confederation that "The Great Cataclysm" inexplicably occurred and decimated life in the entire solar system. The world was left in a state of utter devastation after an apparent blending together of different, alternate realities. Countless people either suddenly died or vanished that day for reasons inexactly known, including Master Amado, Master Viel, and many of Warren's friends. With all of the warring factions suddenly husks of their former selves, the bloody conflict had finally been brought to a resolution, but of terrible consequence. It was an event that Biggs would never forget.
Twenty-three years have passed since the day humanoids were brought to the brink of extinction. Over that period the King of Hearts aimlessly traveled the globe numerous times, often competing in martial arts competitions and taking the odd mercenary job for monetary income. For decades he was waiting to find redemption, waiting to somehow avenge his perceived failure to defend those he loved so long ago. With the corrupted Central Earth Union's rise to prominence and the looming threat of the Bio Gundam hidden away deep beneath the ocean, his opportunity would soon come. War had once again returned to the already ravaged planet. Though in order to truly make a difference, Warren would first need to seek out what remained of the Shuffle Alliance...
Combat Style: The King of Hearts lives up to the legacy of his title through virtually unrivaled strength, speed, and endurance. He thrives in close quarters combat and draws from his body's immense pool of ki to devastate enemies with special techniques. He is a savvy tactician, but he isn't renown for developing particularly advanced strategies. Through years of training and discipline, Warren has learned to control and wield his emotions as a deadly weapon on the battlefield. He is calm, deliberate, and opportunistic when dispatching the opposition.
