Bio
The motives of the agency's clients run from goodwill, revenge to outright intimidation. But any truly nasty stuff happening typically doesn't involve the agents, and successful missions often end with a love confession from the target.Kia, the biker with goggles and cancer stick, is the stereotypical street tough with a heart of gold. Louise (why they used a woman's name for him, no one knows O.O), the one in the scary uniform, will sooner rather ply his charms than his whip; and their butch bodyguard Gallagher is eager to please, extremely deferential to his patrons, and genuinely upset when they yell at him.
Either agent has six missions to complete, that means, six targets to "subdue". The two have opposite and complementary personalities that suit their mission targets: Kia is the rough'n'ready one, trying to impress (and occasionally succeeding) with his "bad attitude". Male bonding is his specialty, and he'll first try to win his target's confidence with a show of physical or verbal aggression. Too bad that the guy code he adheres to comes with inbuilt homophobia, but he compensates for this setback with a gung-ho approach to romance ("Okay, we're alone, let's get naked.") and the brash attitude. Hypocritically, he doesn't like to be on the 'receiving end', which can lead to amusing situations. As befits "cool" characters, he has a basic integrity that interferes with the nastier missions. He likes to ride around on a motorcycle, get into fights and act without thinking. He is such an over-the-top macho that he's just funny.
The most comical parts of the game are the "domestic" scenes. Kia likes to razz Louise before missions, Louise prefers to give helpful advice (which Kia will totally ignore) and Gallagher usually adds his two cents. The household includes a dog, "Tige" which is Kia's german shepherd, puts in the occasional wuff or whine. If either agent comes home after a failed mission, the other had better not make fun of him, or there will be sounds of breaking glass and cries of distress from Gallagher. Kia's parents may be presumed dead; his father was a brute, his mother appears in a flashback when he's driving through a slum.
One of the most memorable missions of Kia's is titled, "War in the Ghetto," where Kia is chugging past the ragged-looking apartment buildings and he betrays his origins by seeing his mother in a flashback. His bout of nostalgia is interrupted by the sound of fighting: Adenauer's thugs are making trouble in a bakery run by Dirk's(Wahls) parents, and Dirk allows himself to be provoked into a very unequal fight. Kia has the choices Fight and Run. So, fight it is, and he quite impressively kicks the shit out of them. Dirk decides he's made of the right stuff and invites him into.. a biker gang. That's it; there's no way Kia would betray Dirk. They're two peas in a pod. Another mission he ends up making a priest sin by simply whispering in his ear; the priest then runs home and ends up 'spilling his seed on the ground'. A few days later they get it on and the mission is a success.
Kia's got a secret crush on his more sophisticated partner, which are mutually exclusive in that, after endless boring unfunny plot twists, Kia either does a number on Louise or allows Louise to do a number on him. Incidentally, Kia obviously isn't going to play uke again no matter how great his infatuation. The last scenes of Kia's mission are quite romantic - but he also bounces back more quickly. Kia and Louise end up as they began: the loudmouth who wants to impress, and the quiet one who amusedly puts up with him.
