Profile
Pierce is a simple goblin.
Questioning his existence, he started a journey to find out a reason, a thought that was impossible for a mere goblin. On his journey, he met a vampire lady named Blanche and a naga siren named Rebellia. Since Pierce often respond question regarding his name with "It's just Pierce", many people misunderstood that his name is Just Pierce.
He is indistinguishable from other goblins, apart from the mysterious zipper on his back. He has a fixed smiling face, hence his friends say that he has the "ultimate poker face". Pierce cannot talk or communicate verbally to most intelligent beings. The best he can do is to tug their clothing and give unclear gesture by waving his hands accompanied by squeaks. Among his friends, only Aello can completely understand Pierce. This creates a chain of speaking, since only Sleipial and Rebellia can partially understand Aello. On the contrary, Pierce completely understands what his friends say to him. In battle, Pierce wields a club and surprisingly is able to both take and dish great damage.
He cannot cook, but he is able to eat anything and recognize good dishes. When idling in a town, Pierce wanders around on the town's marketplace, sometimes helping the shop owner to sell stuff.
His journey represents his conscious self. He has the joy and pleasure of true consciousness. He is seeing things as children do. He is vibrant, alive, and aware.
Pierce's name was taken from one of supporting characters in Parasite Eve 2. His last name was previously "Amaranth", but was dropped entirely. He is 127 cm tall and weighs 12 kg.

Author Notes
Pierce is supposed to look like the provided artwork in the Alternate Media section. I decided to keep as many goblin features as I can, namely his earrings, horns, wings, and tail. His main design point is the zipper behind his back. What would it be used for?
Pre-V Soul Series
Soulcalibur III is his first appearance. I was only able to keep his horns, hence the helmet. I opted to be more true to his look in Soulcalibur IV results in using a set of horn in which I don't quite like either. Learning from this, his Broken Destiny version returns him to the helmet.
Soulcalibur V
This is the first time I am able to add a zipper on his back. His second costume is his true form, named Bloody Rabbit. I am not really fond of how of how he turned out as he does not look very imposing, even with maximum height.
Soulcalibur VI
Wanting to be different from his Soulcalibur V version, I opted for one of his old concepts, a Goblin Knight. The use of Horned Lost Soul has a mixed effect: it frees the accessory slots, but on the other hand, the wings are just too big. As for the moveset, Zasalamel was used since Eurystheus doesn't fit using it.
Warriors Series
In all renditions, to keep with his odd nature, Piece's face is obscured. In Dynasty Warriors 7 version, I aim more for his artwork look, but adapting his look yields far better result, as seen on Dynasty Warriors 8 and Samurai Warriors 4 looks.
