Axl Low

Axl Low is a recurring character in the Guilty Gear series. Axl is a gang leader from the 20th century who, due to a twist of fate, got caught into a time slip that bounces him around irregularly through time and space. He wishes to return to his own time period so as to see his girlfriend, Megumi, once again. Axl has blue eyes and straight blond hair below the shoulder, always covered by a red bandana; from Xrd onwards, it has a white saltire on it. He is quite muscular and of a fair complexion, and always wears brown boots. In the original Guilty Gear, he wore a tied white tank top, denim vest and shorts, and boots with the Union Jack on their toe boxes. His next outfit—coupled with a slimmer build—consists of a Union Jack long-sleeved T-shirt, another denim vest, and blue jeans. In Xrd, Axl returns to wearing denim shorts, with two sashes hanging from his belt: one with the Union Jack, the other blue. He also wears a collared white shirt with a black tie, and a rolled-up denim jacket with a white hood. In -STRIVE-, Axl sports a dark-grey trouser, and a sleeveless blue shirt with three zipper teeth below a letter jacket. The jacket's body is red with a tartan pattern, while the sleeves are mostly white. His bandana is now black. Despite his troubles, Axl retains an optimistic and amiable nature, being a relentlessly "glass half full" sort of person. He rarely thinks about anything very hard, and is generally content to just get the gist of things or go with the flow. He is not especially good at constructing logical arguments, so other people tend not to take him very seriously. While he enjoys flirting with other women (especially I-No), he still loves Megumi. Axl wants to return to her side no matter what, but he has proven that he will do the right thing if he has to choose. If someone is in trouble, he cannot ignore them. He has twice the compassion of the average person, resulting in an inability to willingly leave someone behind. Axl hates even the idea of death, and refuses to take a life regardless of circumstances.
